Demon King's Repayment - chapter 24

“You can’t touch him. He is very fierce, so he only lets me touch him.”

As if to prove it, Yuan Xiang stretched out her hand and touched the head of the little wolf naturally. As his body tensed to guard against the group of human females who suddenly surrounded him, Nan He didn’t pay attention to Yuan Xiang’s movements for a while and before he had time to react, she had already succeeded and withdrew her hand.

“This isn’t a dog, it’s a wolf, right?” The shopkeeper stretched his head from behind the counter, looked at Yuan Xiang’s basket, twisted his beard and shook his head, “His fur is really rare, but it’s too small. If it could be raised and skinned, it could be sold at a good price.”

The silver-white snow wolf growled at him, showing sharp teeth.

“Oh, what is this? Can it understand us?” The shopkeeper laughed, “Little girl, we also buy leather here, do you want to sell this little wolf to me? I could give you ten taels of silver.”

When Aunt Wu heard the ten taels of silver, she quickly pushed Yuan Xiang’s arm, “Xiang’er, hurry. Sell it. That’s ten taels of silver. You can keep it as a dowry in the future.”

Yuan Xiang laughed but rejected the shopkeeper’s proposal and left.

“How much do you want? We can discuss it.” The shopkeeper added another sentence from behind her.

Nan He remembered his childhood experience in a human town and became low-spirited. He no longer stretched out his two paws to look at the edge of the basket as before, but curled up in the basket silently.

“Don’t be like this. Every human being is different, some like you and of course some want to hurt you. Isn’t it the same with spirits?” Yuan Xiang coaxed him, “Be happy, there is a baking shop ahead, do you want to eat roast lamb?”

The fat and thin mutton, after being grilled with charcoal fire, exuded an attractive aroma. This strange fragrance that the wolf couldn’t resist made Xiao Nan He forget the unpleasantness and he re-emerged from the basket.

Yuan Xiang held a skewer of freshly roasted lamb in front of Nan He.

His eyes brightened, staring straight at the mutton skewers that were fraught with oil.

It was so fragrant.

Lamb was the favorite food of wolves, not to mention that it was made so delicious by humans. But as a noble Sirius, he shouldn’t eat food fed by human hands anyway. 

“Eat it quickly, the meat is authentically roasted, fragrant and tender. If you don’t want to eat it, I will eat it all,” Yuan Xiang ate it herself while grinning.

Nan He endured, tolerated and finally couldn’t resist the temptation. He grabbed Yuan Xiang’s hand, grabbed a piece of mutton from the bamboo stick and turned his head to feast on it.

Both of them ate twenty or thirty strings till they were satisfied.

The shopkeeper, who sold it, was distressed while grilling, “Girl, you are so wasteful. It is a pity that such a good fat lamb is shared with a pet.”

“It’s not a pity. Uncle, you don’t know, this isn’t a pet, he is my friend,” Yuan Xiang smiled and looked at the little furry that was still struggling with mutton and stretched out her hand to gently flick the soft hair on his back. 

Yuan Xiang felt that the awkward little wolf had put down his guard a bit on her. While he was eating happily, she brushed the hair on his back. He didn’t jump away like before, but expressed his dissatisfaction with a few hums.

In fact, it was pretty good. He was a canine after all. He was much better than the cat she once raised. After the cat ancestor came to the house, she cautiously coaxed it for a month before finally willing to condescend. Occasionally, when he was in a good mood he laid flat and let her touch him a few times.

The back was fine, but when Yuan Xiang tried to attack his ears once more, the little wolf opened his mouth to bite, so she quickly retracted her hand.

Nan He stared at the human in front of him angrily, wondering why she was so hateful. She tried to touch his ear. And she didn’t think it was too much at all, still smiling so happily in front of him.

Nan He looked at the human’s thin, greasy fingers, somehow a sudden urge to stick out his tongue to lick it arose in his heart.

He was taken aback by his thought, raised his small paw and patted his face vigorously, turned his back to Yuan Xiang and refused to eat any more lamb.

The Sirius Clan’s self-healing ability was amazing. Only three days had passed when Yuan Xiang found that Nan He’s broken hind leg was more than half healed. He could barely stand up and limp on the kitchen floor.

Ding Ling Ling, a string of crisp bells rang.

A hollow ball with a copper bell, rolled to the feet of the little wolf. He bowed his head vigilantly and looked around for a long time, confirming that it was just an ordinary ball.

“Look at what I found, let’s play! Come, come. I’ll throw it and you bring it back to me,” Yuan Xiang stood on the edge of the platform and rushed to call him.

She, who was preparing chicken and duck feed, got a ball from some corner and thought about playing a ball game with Xiao Nan.

Stupid human beings! What do they think all day long? Nan He turned his head disdainfully and ignored her.

His attention was all on the big pot of beef bone soup stewed on the stove. There was big beef bone in the pot of soup, which was simmering for the whole morning and the smell ran out of the gap in the lid, actively digging into Nan He’s nostrils.

When could he eat it? The food made by humans was indeed delicious, but it was too much trouble.
