Chapter 1432: Placing Her on the Sofa

The medicinal liquid flowed through the pipe with a gurgling sound into the bathtub in the first-floor bathroom. The Broken-Waist Wolf, who had been about to go upstairs to check the situation, immediately turned and ran back down, barked twice at Sheep Boss who was throwing a tantrum and pawing at the tatami, calling it into the first-floor bathroom. Little Wolf Brother, who had been assigned this task along with his father, immediately followed.

The Broken-Waist Wolf accurately picked out the wooden stock labeled "Sheep Boss," skillfully opened the iron clasp, and picked up the stock in his mouth to put it on Sheep Boss.

Sheep Boss shook his head and refused to be collared. Little Wolf Brother bared his fangs to intimidate him, but when that didn't work, he gave Sheep Boss a direct swipe of his paw.

Sheep Boss grew even angrier, turned around, and prepared to use his spiral horns to send the daring Little Wolf flying. The Broken-Waist Wolf dropped the wooden stock and stood between them, growling softly.

"Baa~_~_~"

Sheep Boss felt wronged, threw back his head, and called out for the Head Wolf and his subordinates.

Sheep Boss's subordinate in the second-floor bathtub had already fallen into a deep coma, showing no reaction. The Head Wolf flicked his left ear, which was missing a chunk, and continued staring at Yang Jin.

After all the water in the bathtub had drained out, Does Daigua immediately covered Xia Qing with a blanket, then jumped out of the bathtub and scurried downstairs to work with the Broken-Waist Wolf, putting the wooden stock on Sheep Boss and fastening the iron clasp.

In order, the first wave to bathe was the Head Wolf and Sheep Boss.

After the Broken-Waist Wolf activated the constant-temperature heater in the bathtub, he noticed the Head Wolf still hadn't come down, so he ran to the second-floor bathroom and found the Head Wolf staring at Yang Jin as he dried Xia Qing's fur.

He went over and sniffed Xia Qing, then sniffed the Head Wolf. The Head Wolf threw back his head and howled once, not too loud, not too soft. Little Wolf Sister and Little Black Wolf standing guard on the roof both heard the call, immediately jumped down, wiped their paws on the grass mat at the door, and entered the warm living room.

After Does Daigua and the Broken-Waist Wolf worked together to put wooden stocks on the three little wolves, they immediately returned to the living room and burrowed into the tree nest.

The Broken-Waist Wolf noticed the water hadn't reached the horizontal line Xia Qing had marked on the wooden tub, so he first turned on the showerhead beside the bathtub to add water.

In the second-floor bathroom, Yang Jin quickly used a hair dryer to dry Xia Qing's hair. Led by the Head Wolf, he carried her out of the bathroom and headed toward Xia Qing's bedroom.

Although he had never been to the second floor, Yang Jin knew Xia Qing lived on the second floor, and definitely in the north-facing room. Because even when sleeping, Xia Qing would certainly want to sleep in a room where she could look up through the window and see the unpolluted spring and the farmland. Only one room on the second floor met this condition.

"Woof!"

The Head Wolf, standing at the staircase, called out to Yang Jin, indicating he should carry Xia Qing downstairs.

There's a bedroom downstairs too? Yang Jin followed the Head Wolf downstairs in confusion, only to discover she wanted him to place Xia Qing on the sofa.

Well... that works too. Listening to the gurgling water in the first-floor bathroom, Yang Jin discussed with the Head Wolf, "Queen, my lord, this blanket is already wet. Shall I go upstairs to the bedroom and get bedding for Xia Qing?"

After receiving permission, Yang Jin first gently placed the unconscious Xia Qing on the sofa, went upstairs to carry down her bedding, spread the mattress pad on the long sofa near the fireplace, set up the pillow, then carried Xia Qing over and gently laid her on the pink velvet mattress pad. He quickly tidied her hair so it wouldn't stick up wildly when she woke.

"Woof—"

Seeing Yang Jin reach for the cotton quilt, the Head Wolf growled softly, dissatisfied with his operation.

With red ears, Yang Jin silently covered Xia Qing with the quilt. He also knew he should have removed the damp thermal blanket before covering her with the quilt, but his relationship with Xia Qing hadn't reached that level yet, so he had to cover her with the quilt first and then remove the blanket.

After tucking in the cotton quilt and confirming there were no drafts, Yang Jin opened his satchel to take out medicine, intending to treat the wound on Xia Qing's lips.

Before his hand could reach Xia Qing, the Head Wolf aimed her sharp fangs at his wrist and let out a low, commanding growl.

"Baa～_~_~"

Hearing the Head Wolf's growl, not only did the wolves in the yard stand up, but Sheep Boss in the bathroom also let out a nine-turn-eighteen-bend aggrieved squeaky sound, trying to rush out of the bathroom.

"Awooo!"

"Woof!"

"Thud, crash—"

Little Wolf Brother and Little Wolf Sister growled simultaneously and rushed up to block Sheep Boss. The result was the wooden stocks on the two little ones' necks collided, producing a dull thud. Little Wolf Brother dodged by leaping to the left and smashed the mirror on the wall.

"Woof!!!"

The Broken-Waist Wolf, who was filling the tub, got angry and let out a commanding growl. The three who were making a ruckus immediately froze.

The Head Wolf ignored the chaos in the bathroom and stared at Yang Jin with killing intent.

Yang Jin showed the Head Wolf the ointment in his hand, "Queen, my lord, Xia Qing's mouth is injured. She needs medicine applied."

The Head Wolf revealed all four of her pale fangs, her killing intent intensifying.

Although he didn't understand why the Head Wolf wouldn't let him apply medicine to Xia Qing, Yang Jin knew he absolutely could not come into conflict with the wolf pack now. He put the medicine back in his satchel and decisively retreated.

The Head Wolf advanced step by step.

Understanding that the Head Wolf wanted him to leave, Yang Jin glanced at the sleeping Xia Qing and nodded, "I'll go back and guard the farmland and outer territory. Please take good care of Xia Qing, Queen, my lord."

After the Head Wolf opened the entry door, Yang Jin left Xia Qing's home under the watchful gaze of three fierce giant wolves in the yard.

"Beep."

Having just returned to the small cabin by the farmland, Yang Jin heard a message notification tone from his Bluetooth earpiece, which then began playing a message sent from Zhao Ze of Territory Four:

Brother Jin, there's a hired worker in Territory Four who entered the Western Wilderness Grass Wall twice tonight to spy on Sister Qing's territory's movements. He won't admit to anything. How do you think we should handle this person?

Yang Jin took out his phone and replied: Restrain him first. I'll contact Di Ming right away and have him go to Territory Four to interrogate him.

After Zhao Ze replied "Received," he typed a line of text for his mother to read: Di Ming is a brain-domain evolver. He can definitely get to the bottom of this.

Although the suspect had already been knocked out by them with an anesthetic, Mother Zhao and her son didn't dare let down their guard in the slightest and continued communicating via phone.

Mother Zhao quickly typed a string of text one-handed on her phone: Contact Huo Zhun and ask if he can send a couple of people over to help us patrol the territory. 50 points per person per night.

A hired worker in their own territory had caused trouble, and the target was the leader of the territory alliance, Xia Qing. Mother Zhao knew they had to request aid to patrol the territory and investigate hidden dangers.

Yang Jin hadn't let them hand the suspect over to the inspection team, so the person Mother Zhao sought help from wasn't the inspection team either, but Territory Eleven, which had the highest combat power in the territory alliance besides alliance leader Xia Qing.

Why not contact Xia Qing? Mother Zhao wasn't stupid. Yang Jin representing Territory Three in contacting them must mean Xia Qing was currently busy.

In just ten minutes, Huo Zhun, along with Wang Man and Di Ming, had climbed over the thorn wall of Territory Four and stood outside the door of Mother and Son Zhao's house, knocking on the door.

Zhao Ze opened the door and saw his allies, his eyes welling up despite himself, "Brother Huo, Dead Man Jie, Brother Ming, I'm so sorry to trouble you all. It's this person. He's a relative of mine, he's been with us since the beginning of the Calamity..."

In Calamity years, human hearts were unfathomable. A moment of carelessness could result in being stabbed in the back. The one with your back to theirs might not be a reliable ally, but a god of death ready to send you on your way at any moment.

This spring, a hired worker in Territory Six rebelled, and Hearing Zhu Li was injured while Kuang Qingwei was seriously wounded. The hired worker who hurt them was someone who had followed them for many years. The words Zhao Ze had used to comfort Hearing Zhu Li when he went to help back then could now all be applied to himself.

Di Ming patted Zhao Ze's shoulder in comfort, "Hammer and Man Snake go patrol the territory. If you encounter suspicious people, try to capture them alive. Teacher Wang, which room can we use? I'll wake this guy up and ask him a few questions."

Mother Zhao replied, "This one will do. This room is the warmest. I'm so sorry to trouble you all."

"Brother Huo, Dead Man Jie, I'll go with you!" Mother Zhao stayed in the room. Zhao Ze picked up his protective mask and weapons and followed Huo Zhun and Wang Man outside.

Zhao Ze had also paid points to participate in the Blue Dragon Squad's training camp alongside his allies, and his combat power had noticeably improved. That's why he was able to swiftly subdue the betrayer in his territory and lock all the other hired workers in the house, then contact Yang Jin and wait for his allies to come support him.

After leaving the house, Wang Man pointed out directions, "You two patrol the east side, I'll patrol the west side."

Without waiting for Huo Zhun and Zhao Ze to reply, Wang Man accelerated and rushed out. She had just reached the vicinity of the Western Wilderness Grass Wall of Territory Four when she faintly caught the sound of a sheep bleating in the biting west wind.
