Chapter 416: Two More Little Friends
After leaving the village, Wen Luozhi was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins. The two horses were the ones she had bought when she first arrived.
Wen Muchuan couldn't bear to part with his two old companions, so he kept them well-fed and cared for them in the stable.
Having probably not been out for a long time and being well-fed and glistening with oil, the two horses were very lively and ran very fast on the road.
The sun was shining warmly outside, and the breeze was very comfortable. If she didn't have to accompany Helian Zhiyan, she wouldn't have wanted to get into the carriage.
Helian Zhiyan was already asleep in the carriage. The little girl had been so nervous and excited about setting off today that she hadn't slept all night.
Taking advantage of this moment, Wolf Overlord didn't want to suffer any injustice, and transformed into human form as soon as he crawled out of the carriage.
They would stop and rest for a day whenever the carriage passed through a county town. The snow outside had completely melted, and apart from some water accumulation on the road, there were basically no obstacles along the way.
Two or three days after leaving the territory of Jing Kingdom, they finally embarked on the road to the Southern Wilderness.
Wen Luozhi lifted the carriage curtain and saw that the outside was indeed not as bad as the system had said, perhaps because of the season.
After driving for several days, the horses slowed down. They had been pampered too much before, and tonight they refused to move and just stayed by the roadside to graze.
The wild grasses in early spring were extremely tender, and Wen Luozhi patiently waited for them for a long time, but they did not stop growing.
The little black dog, who had been engrossed in eating in the bushes, suddenly raised its head. Wen Luozhi saw its ears twitch and then it began frantically pawing at the ground with one of its front paws, looking somewhat agitated.
Big White was even worse; he was already breathing heavily through his nose.
Wen Luozhi patted Xiao Hei's head reassuringly, and Xiao Hei rubbed against her palm, its two big eyes watching her back warily.
Da Bai walked straight over and stood motionless beside Wen Luozhi like a Buddha.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Wen Luozhi turned around and saw nothing, but the two horses kept watching her warily behind her.
Because Wolf Overlord used to take them to the back mountain to "play" quite often, the two horses became extremely alert over time.
"You wait here, I'll go see what's going on."
Wolf Batian, who had been sleeping in the carriage, suddenly jumped out and ran straight to the grove behind Wen Luozhi. Wen Luozhi calmed the black and white horses for a long time before sitting in the carriage to wait for Wolf Batian.
Remembering that there was a little one in the carriage, Wen Luozhi gently lifted the curtain. The little girl was sleeping soundly on the small soft couch, covered with a quilt.
About half an incense stick later, Wolf Batian returned, his face visibly excited.
As he ran closer, Wen Luozhi was about to ask if he had discovered something when she saw two little ones following behind him, heading towards the carriage.
This completely enraged Big White and Little Black. They broke free of their ropes and tried to rush over, but were stopped by Wolf Overlord's low growl.
"Little Pink and Little White?! It's you guys!"
Wen Luozhi jumped down and ran a few steps. Realizing there was still a child in the carriage, she lowered her voice and asked, "Why did you two run out? Did something happen at Mangshan?" Her voice was filled with worry.
Little Pink shook its head, lowered its head and affectionately rubbed its cheek against hers. The cool touch made Wen Luozhi unable to resist rubbing against it as well.
"Everything's fine at home. My brother and I just wanted to run away to find you and play."
"My parents said that traveling with you is better than just staying and playing in Mangshan."
Little Pink didn't understand what her father meant; she was just happy to be able to come out and play with Wen Luozhi.
Wen Luozhi: ...
How is she going to take care of two little ones? Even if they follow behind, it's okay now that there's something to cover them, but what if they go to flat ground with nothing around?
It's not like there's no one on this road; it wouldn't be good if I saw someone and was mistaken for a monster.
She wanted to call the two little ones back, but when she looked up, she saw that Wolf Overlord and Little White were already playing together in the distance, and the two white figures looked very happy.
She didn't want to think about that for the time being; she was curious about how the two little ones knew she was there and how she had managed to get through so many days.
After feeding Xiaofen a few raw eggs, she asked her what was wrong. Xiaofen spat out the apricot, raised its tail, and scratched its head.
"My father gave the Wan Yu Pearl to my sister. That pearl has my father's scent inside, and my brother and I came here because of the smell."
When asked how she got here, Xiaofen immediately looked aggrieved.
"My brother and I always walked along the mountain paths. The snow on the mountain had melted, and everything was wet. I didn't like it at all."
Wen Luozhi chuckled and patted her head, finding it truly amazing.
Wan Yuzhu was in the system's inventory, yet it could still smell her scent? That's amazing! She smiled and continued listening to Xiao Fen.
It turned out that they came down from the mountain to find her as soon as they finished hibernating, but it was the night after she left.
The brother and sister went back without seeing anyone. They hadn't been able to play since the two little pythons went down the mountain because of Mo Li, so they were bound to be disappointed if they had to come again.
Seeing that they were unhappy, the mother dragon couldn't bear it and said this so that the mountain guardian king could tell them.
Ever since he transformed into a dragon, the mountain guardian king has become happier every day, often wagging his golden tail with great delight.
Following Wen Luozhi would be beneficial, so he directly told the two little ones the direction, leaving them to figure out how to follow him.
Wen Luozhi's lips twitched twice upon hearing this. She thought to herself that the Mountain Guardian King was really carefree, letting two innocent little pythons run so far out of the mountain. However, she was still very happy to hear that he had transformed into a dragon.
After instructing Da Bai and Xiao Hei to guard the carriage and glancing at Helian Zhiyan, she and Xiao Fen headed towards Lang Batian and the others.
Wolf Overlord and Little White were quite wild. When they saw Wen Luozhi coming over, they rushed in front of her and wagged their tails wildly.
"Lolo, lolo! Take them with you! Take them with you!"
"Those two dull horses wouldn't dare play with me, but this little white one can."
"Little Pink likes you so much, you must not want her to leave, right?"
Wen Luozhi shrugged and said, "I'd like to, but how would I bring it?"
She explained her thoughts, and Little White and Little Pink, who were standing nearby, understood and hung their heads in disappointment, their tails no longer wagging.
Wolf Overlord paced anxiously, then suddenly remembered her system backpack. Hadn't he used it when he was little?
"Just put it in your magical thing, nothing will happen!"
His reminder made Wen Luozhi realize that her system inventory could hold living creatures.
After checking the space, she estimated that the two little ones could go in without any problems and even move around inside.
"Next, I'll take you to a magical place. If you think it's okay, you can stay. If not, you can go back to Mangshan and get your share back, okay?" Wen Luozhi said to Xiaobai and Xiaofen.
The brother and sister nodded, and with a gentle wave of Wen Luozhi's hand, they were in the system's inventory.
[Ah! Host! Why are you throwing all sorts of things in there!]
The system screamed in fright, but only Wen Luozhi could hear it.
The two curious little ones, Little White and Little Pink, were looking at this and that in the backpack with great interest when suddenly Wen Luozhi's voice rang out above their heads:
"Now I'll bring you out."
No sooner had they finished speaking than they came out again, their two little round eyes looking at each other, their tails waving happily as they experienced something new.
