Chapter 750: Inviting a Wolf into the House: Comedic Version 2

Last time, Shi Youxuan and the others left the Ji Family.

The first thing Ji Yingjie did was to have people go into the Forest to raise the family of three Bai Lang!

She did many things in the Forest, and the three Bai Lang were the most important of these; in the eyes of the Ji Family's commoners, Bai Lang were divine beasts, so she raised them to consolidate her status whenever her authority was threatened.

She sent people to serve them with the best food and drink.

But she never expected that she would end up raising ungrateful wretches.

These few wolves only ate and did no work; Ji Yingjie wanted them to help get rid of Lao Qi, but they ended up becoming good friends instead?

"Ungrateful wretches, things that can't be tamed!" Ji Yingjie gritted her teeth.

But being angry was useless.

Her plan to eliminate Lao Qi in the Forest without anyone knowing had been completely shattered.

Now, if she wanted to stop him from seeing Nianyin, she could only use her last resort.

The Forest.

Lao Qi and the family of three Bai Lang became close after just one meal.

Of course, it wasn't entirely the credit of the canned beef and mushroom soup that they became close so quickly.

Bai Lang are intuitive, can understand human speech, and can even judge whether a human is sincere or fake through their expressions and subtle movements!

The people Ji Yingjie sent would place delicious food in a fixed spot every week, worshiping and even praying to the Bai Lang.

Their attitude toward the Bai Lang was one of awe and seeking something in return.

Therefore, the family of three felt no gratitude toward them, only a sense of entitlement, believing this was what they ought to do.

Because they were asking something of them, the two sides were not in an equal relationship, so naturally, there was no talk of friendship.

But the family of three had feelings for Shi Youxuan and the others.

When Shi Youxuan finally parted ways with them, she was still complaining about them, and they felt guilty!

Just now, seeing Lao Qi, they felt familiar with him based on his attire.

Then Lao Qi took the initiative to mention Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan.

They understood and knew that Lao Qi was in the same group as Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu.

A friend's enemy is an enemy; by the same logic, a friend's friend is also a friend.

Especially when it comes to a friend one feels indebted to, it is even easier to close the distance between each other!

The family of three quickly transferred their feelings for Shi Youxuan to Lao Qi, and upon learning he was going to the Ji Family to find Nianyin, they escorted him all the way there.

With Bai Lang escorting him on the road, Lao Qi had it much easier.

Venomous snakes and fierce beasts dared not approach, and with them keeping watch at night, his safety was greatly increased.

It just infuriated Ji Yingjie.

She didn't know how many teacups she had smashed in two days; the more harmonious the relationship between Lao Qi and the Bai Lang, the angrier she became.

The edge of the Forest.

Lao Qi was starting a fire to cook; this was their last lunch in the Forest.

Bai Lang had just indicated that escorting him here was the end of it; they would not go with him to the Ji Family to find the person.

The detailed reason couldn't be asked, of course, but after Lao Qi understood the general meaning, he respected their decision.

The final lunch was very sumptuous.

Lao Qi dumped the remaining canned goods, compressed biscuits, luncheon meat, and beef jerky from his backpack into the pot to boil.

Although he wasn't skilled at cooking, it didn't matter.

The ingredients were all delicious.

Delicious plus delicious equals the most delicious!

"Gurgle—"

The broth in the pot began to boil, and the rich aroma of meat drifted through the air.

Having spent several days together, Lao Qi had developed a deep friendship with these three Bai Lang, who were cold on the outside but goofy on the inside; he was very reluctant to separate from them so soon.

Lao Qi spoke to them.

"Dabai, are you sure you won't come with me to find Nianyin?"

Dabai nodded.

"You're really heartless; no wonder the saying goes 'wolf-hearted and dog-lunged'—do you have no reluctance to part with me at all?"

Then there was no response.

Big White, Little White, and Pretty White circled the pot, drooling!

The family of three had no sadness about the impending parting, only drooling anticipation and impatience for the food in the pot.

"Alright, alright, let's eat." Lao Qi was both annoyed and amused.

He extinguished the fire and took the pot off.

Before it had even cooled down enough to eat, Lao Qi and the Bai Lang were already surrounded by a group of women dressed in black.

"Leave this place; ahead is not a place you can go." The leading woman was very serious and looked somewhat similar to Nianyin.

"Are you Sister Nianyin? I'm looking for Nianyin; could you pass a message to Nianyin for me? Just say I've come to find her, or let her come to see me," Lao Qi pleaded.

The woman frowned and scolded Lao Qi: "Bold commoner, is the name of Elder Nianyin something you can call? You ignorant thing, if you dare to spout nonsense again, I will kill you."

The woman's words were very unpleasant.

Lao Qi frowned.

Commoner?

What era was this, that someone would still use such insulting vocabulary.

But he couldn't argue; if he wanted to find Nianyin, he couldn't afford to fall out with them.

He steeled his heart and simply said, "Big sister, I am Nianyin's boyfriend. I have something very important to discuss with her, please do me a favor."

Big sister?

The woman suddenly flew into a rage, grabbed a stone from the ground, and threw it hard at Lao Qi: "Big sister? Who are you calling big sister? You're the big sister, your whole family is big sister..."

This "big sister" was fast, accurate, and ruthless with her attack!

If Lao Qi hadn't dodged quickly, he would probably be covered in bumps on his head by now.

He quickly hid behind a large tree and hurriedly apologized: "Big sister, I was wrong—no, sister, I was wrong. Please don't be angry, can you tell me where Nianyin is?"

Lao Qi's IQ was fine, but his EQ was somewhat pathetic.

He knew the woman looked older than him, but he didn't know that women all love beauty; calling them younger might be fine, but calling them older makes you an enemy!

"There is no such person in the Ji Family. Get out, get out right now, otherwise I will beat you every time I see you, do you hear me?"

Lao Qi heard her, but he would not leave.

He didn't use any expedient measures either, refusing directly: "I won't leave. Before I see Nianyin, even if you beat me to death, I won't leave."

"Fine, then I'll grant your wish!"

Nianci waved her hand, and everyone swarmed forward.

Lao Qi's skills were not bad, but one pair of fists is no match for four hands, and a good tiger cannot fend off a pack of wolves... where were the wolves?

The family of three Bai Lang had long since vanished; rushing for food and running from a fight was their consistent code of conduct!

Lao Qi gradually fell into a disadvantage and was quickly captured.

"Tie him to the tree and release the poisonous bees," the woman ordered.

Lao Qi broke out in a cold sweat.

For the past two days, Bai Lang had been by his side, so he hadn't applied any medicated oil; being stung by poisonous bees would mean certain death, and a very ugly death at that.

But who would help him at a time like this?

At the most critical moment—"Awoo!"

Bai Lang had returned.

They didn't just return as a family of three; they brought back hundreds of Grey Wolf.

The scene was grand; with hundreds of wolves in the Forest, they didn't even need to attack before the women collapsed.

"Retreat!"

"Fall back!"

Bai Lang half-crouched and sat, surrounding Lao Qi, who was incredibly moved.

He hadn't served these wolves for nothing over the past two days; they had saved his life at the critical moment.

"Big sister, can I go with you to see Nianyin now?" Lao Qi had his bargaining chip.

He did it on purpose, deliberately calling her big sister; whatever you don't like to hear, that is exactly what I will call you.

That was what Lao Qi thought: you want my life, so me making you uncomfortable is just a fair exchange—it was quite kind of him!
