Chapter 515: The Angry Wolf Pack Leaders

However, when they went out there were six wolves, but only four returned, drawn by the smell of meat: the head wolf, the broken-back wolf, the broken-leg girl, and the sick wolf.

The broken-leg girl didn't come inside. Although this evolved young she-wolf had been helped by Xia Qing and wouldn't attack her, it was still full of vigilance and hostility toward humans, unwilling to enter a house like a cage from which it couldn't immediately run far away.

Xia Qing didn't ask where the broken-back wolf and Black Wolf had gone either. She took out the roasted chicken, tore it into shreds and put them in the food bowl. The head wolf was still the first to eat.

One wolf alone finished off three chickens; the remaining three chickens were eaten by the remaining three wolves. The sick wolf's stomach still hadn't fully recovered, so it only ate the meat without chewing the bones. But its share of bones wasn't wasted either — she carried the whole bowl out in her mouth and gave it to the broken-leg girl outside the door.

After Xia Qing finished her share of chicken, the bones were also carried out by the sick wolf to feed the broken-leg girl.

Xia Qing confirmed that the broken-leg girl's status had risen. Either its fighting ability had improved, or it was pregnant with pups. Xia Qing stared at the head wolf's belly.

The head wolf and the broken-back wolf were a pair; they were in the prime of their years, so next spring there should be wolf pups, right? Xia Qing thought of the pink, soft little puppies sleeping, and was instantly about to melt from the cuteness.

The head wolf's pups must be both smart and cute...

Lazily lying on the tatami resting, it keenly sensed Xia Qing's gaze, opened its gilded eyes, saw Xia Qing smiling foolishly, and not only closed its eyes but also turned its head in another direction.

Xia Qing smiled, gathered up the bowls and chopsticks and took them to the kitchen to wash clean. The sick wolf went out to play with the broken-leg girl outside the door. By the time Xia Qing finished cleaning the kitchen while listening to the broadcast, the broken-leg girl had already left. The sick wolf returned to the house and was watching Sheep Boss pedaling the bicycle together with the broken-back wolf.

Seeing that Xia Qing had finally come out of the kitchen, Sheep Boss immediately sped up, raised its head high, and squinted at Xia Qing.

"Boss is amazing! Truly worthy of being the evolved wolf who pioneered the history of evolved sheep on Blue Star, the way you pedal the bicycle is really too cool..." Xia Qing offered endless praise, playing along enthusiastically.

Although it hadn't snowed these past few days, the sunlight was insufficient, and the electricity generated by the solar panels wasn't enough. Xia Qing worked hard every day to maintain Sheep Boss's enthusiasm for generating power.

The broken-back wolf crouching beside Sheep Boss turned its head and gazed at Xia Qing thoughtfully.

Xia Qing explained, "The power-generating bicycle for Handsome Wolf Brother has already been ordered. In a few days when it's delivered, I'll have Wolf Lao Er go to Mountain Sixty to call you over to pick it up."

This time Xia Qing used a new term. The broken-back wolf didn't understand, tilted its head slightly, and wore a thoughtful expression.

Right! Xia Qing suddenly remembered the video tutorial on the laptop, and went thud-thud-thud running to the bedroom to bring the laptop down. She called out to the three wolves with great enthusiasm, "Your Majesty, Broken-Back, Lao Er, come quickly to watch the video and learn human language."

The sick wolf liked watching this the most, and immediately ran to Xia Qing's side. The curious broken-back wolf also walked over to watch. The head wolf wasn't interested and stayed on the tatami without moving. Sheep Boss was even less interested and kept playing.

"My dear friends, today's lesson be-gins!" A sweet female voice, even more enthusiastic than Xia Qing's, came out. The sick wolf crouching in front of the table wagged its tail, grinned and stuck out its tongue, laughing happily.

The broken-back wolf turned with a thoughtful expression to look behind the laptop, then turned back and stared intently at the screen.

After the opening sequence, accompanied by soothing, relaxing swaths of colorful clouds that probably suited canine aesthetics, the lesson began.

"Let's first review what we learned last class. Sit."

The three people in the video, wearing mascot costumes of different dog breeds, squatted and sat on the ground in unison. The sick wolf also sat down in front of the low table, its posture exactly the same as the three people in the video.

"Good. Next action, stand up."

"Good." Xia Qing praised the sick wolf along, but her attention was on her phone.

She was seriously studying the high school chemistry knowledge Yang Jin had sent her. After finishing high school chemistry, she would start learning university-level agriculture courses, striving to become a professional farmer and cultivate crop seeds with high stability.

The sick wolf stood up again along with the three people in the video.

"Good. Next action, lift your left front paw."

When it saw the sick wolf following the human voice in the video and making the same movements as the strange creatures in the video, the broken-back wolf got angry. It lowered its four limbs, exposed its sharp claws, bared its sharp fangs, and growled lowly at the laptop.

"Crack. Crack."

The sound of wood cracking came from the tatami. The head wolf used its sharp wolf claws to crush the tatami board. A pair of gilded eyes turned toward the laptop, bristling with killing intent.

The two evolved wolf leaders were angered by the content shown in the video on the laptop. Although Sick didn't understand what was happening, it also got into an attack posture. When this wolf, usually obedient and well-behaved in front of Xia Qing, showed its fierce and wild side, it was also quite intimidating.

It must have been a highly combat-capable evolved wolf in the past.

Sheep Boss stopped pedaling the bicycle, looked left and right, not understanding what was happening, but it still ran behind the head wolf and called its little brothers to hurry over.

In such a tense atmosphere, the sweet voice of the kindergarten teacher teaching in the video seemed especially jarring.

Xia Qing didn't understand what part of the video had angered the two brain-evolved wolves, but she still turned the video off.

After the video was turned off, the two wolf leaders didn't retract their fangs either; instead, they turned toward Xia Qing.

Xia Qing didn't feel fear because of the wolves' actions. Having lived with the wolves for a long time, she could tell from their movements and expressions whether they intended to tear the other party apart.

The two brain-evolved wolves were truly angry; they were expressing their anger through their actions, but they didn't mean to attack her. Sheep Boss clearly saw this too, turned around and went back to playing with its toys.

Why would the content in the video make the two brain-evolved wolves so angry, while the sick wolf didn't feel anything was wrong?

Xia Qing couldn't quite figure out the thought processes of the two smart wolves for the moment, so she earnestly explained her reasons for doing this: "This is used to help wolves understand human language. I just want Your Majesty, Broken-Back, and Lao Er to more accurately understand what I mean when I speak."

"Grr—" The head wolf growled lowly, full of menace. Clearly, it didn't agree with Xia Qing's words.

Although she didn't understand the two wolves' point of anger, Xia Qing didn't want to come into conflict with the wolf pack over such a small matter. She earnestly promised, "Okay, since you don't like it, I won't let Lao Er watch it anymore in the future. I promise."

Obviously, the anger of the two brain-evolved wolves subsided a little, but the head wolf called the sick wolf over to the tatami, not letting it get close to Xia Qing who was holding the laptop.

Clearly, the two wolves thought Xia Qing had done something bad for the sick wolf. Although the sick wolf lived within Territory Three, it was still a member of the wolf pack, an important companion of the two brain-evolved wolves.
