All male Sirius were proud of having beautiful silver-white hair. The thicker, smoother and shiny the hair was, the stronger and powerful they were. But he lost his fur. It was fine for anyone to see his embarrassing and ugly appearance but he didn’t want the person in front of him to see it. Yet, he could only helplessly show the most embarrassed state in front of her without any cover.

Would she dislike him? She would no longer want to reach out and touch his head.

After a long time, a soft palm with body temperature touched Nan He’s head. As before, she carefully rubbed and pinched his sensitive ears, “Why did you run when you saw me? I haven’t seen you for so long. I missed you. Thank you for the gifts.”

The human squatted beside him, gently stroking his hair, talking to him softly. That soft voice passed through the pores of his skin and like countless needles, it pierced the tip of Nan He’s heart. He became sour and astringent.

The big wolf finally opened his eyes, took a look at Yuan Xiang with his amber eyes, slowly moved the white head over and approached her. His severely burned body was pitiful. He curled up and snuggled up next to her.

This was the first time this awkward little wolf had approached her actively. Yuan Xiang’s heart softened.

“Does it hurt?” She carefully checked Nan He’s injury. She didn’t know what he had gone through alone. It was as if he had come out of a fire. A large area of ​​skin fell off, blisters were formed and the blood fell down. 

It was distressing.

“I will draw a Golden Arrow Array, okay?”

She thought that Nan He would refuse as habitually as before, or not respond, but after a while, a low voice sounded in the cave.

Yuan Xiang took out the talisman she was carrying with her, dipped it with cinnabar and drew a Golden Arrow Array around Nan He that was able to relieve pain and stop bleeding and sat cross-legged beside him, recited and performed hand gestures in a low voice.

The silver-white Sirius laid silently in the circle, resting his jaw on her lap, turning his amber eyes to look at her from time to time.

“Should I go back to get some medicine and bring you something to eat? Or will you come back with me?” Yuan Xiang stood up.

Nan He lowered his eyes and it took a long time to hear his voice, “This place is very dangerous, my enemies are many and they may appear right away. You… don’t come here again.”

Obviously it was a refusal, but Yuan Xiang heard a kind of aggrieved sadness. Xiao Nan’s ears were lowered, so she was reluctant to leave. Wu Yuan, who was outside the cave, was blocked by the array. He couldn’t get in and was anxiously spinning on the branches.

“I’m okay here. Wu Yuan, you go back first and bring me some medicine and food,” Yuan Xiang shouted at the entrance of the cave.

Wu Yuan, you go back first.

You go back first.

You go back.

Nan He’s drooping ears stood up, turning around dexterously.

He knew that he should let Yuan Xiang leave immediately. It was not safe. But when the words came to his lips, he rolled it over in his mind, swallowed and tossed back and forth hundreds of times, but he couldn’t say it.

Before he could say a word, his stomach had already made a protest.

“Are you hungry?” Yuan Xiang said, “Wu Yuan won’t come back soon. Wait, I will find something for you to eat.”

That sentence completely dispelled Nan He’s hesitant and ceaseless words. He remembered the two eating oily mutton skewers on the street and the fragrant beef soup that they drank together. The empty abdomen was so flat that it almost touched his back.

Just eat something. He would make her leave immediately after eating. Nan He, who couldn’t bear the temptation, swallowed and convinced himself like that.

There was no fire in the cave. Yuan Xiang turned out of the tree cave and hunted down a mountain muntjac (deer). It was roasted in a sheltered place so that it was fragrant and ripe and then slipped back with it.

She tore off the oily mountain deer bit by bit and fed Nan He.

“Can you eat it?” Yuan Xiang asked him, “Eat a little bit first and then I will think of a way to get you something to digest.”

Nan He cherished the cooked food in his mouth and the mellow gravy flowed down the esophagus into the hungry stomach, soothing his several days hungry body.

He was badly injured. Chewing and swallowing became a hard task. If it was before, he could only find out the raw meat frozen in the cave and force himself to swallow the cold and hard raw meat.

But at the moment, there was a person sitting next to him, feeding him a little bit of crispy and greasy barbecue and coaxing him to drink the sweet spring water.

Nan He thought with shame that even if this person liked to touch his ears, he may not be so unwilling.

There was a slight shaking of the earth and the branches of the cave.

Nan He stood up and listened for a moment.

“They are here!” He transformed from a large soft hair ball into a sharp wolf, fierce, determined and towering like a mountain.

“It’s too late, you should leave immediately,” his amber eyes were cold.

“Who is here? I won’t go. I’ll stay with you.”

Nan He looked at her in astonishment, “No. The enemy is very powerful…”

Before he could say anything, Yuan Xiang had made a hand gesture and trapped him on the ground. He was unable to move.

“I’m not weak either,” Yuan Xiang laid out several arrays all the way from the entrance of the cave directly.

The enemy came very quickly. The ground was trembling and the mountain was shaking. The rustling footsteps sounded outside the cave.

The Silver Wolf, who broke free from the spell, swept up his big fluffy tail and gently rolled before Yuan Xiang and hid her in the pile of fur on the ground.

Yuan Xiang was hidden, barely struggling to stretch out her head from the silvery white fur as she looked nervously at the shaking hole.

She spoke very firmly, but in fact, she had never really fought with a big demon and was indeed nervous. Fortunately, she still had a good defense. Even if she couldn’t beat them, her master’s arrays should still be able to protect her and Nan He.
