"Well, wow."

"Right, we're setting a target"

Xika's words immediately came to a halt when the one who spoke was not Huo Bing. Then he turned to the origin of the voice and made the smile on his face freeze.

The pair of wolves smirked showing off their fangs.

"Xika, partner. Let's go down for a second. I have something to talk to you about."

"Maybe next time, man. I was busy. See you soon."

Unlike Lang Hu, Hongbao did not mince words anymore. The red wolf immediately jumped and tried to climb the tree that Xika made her hiding place. Fortunately the tree was quite tall and Xika did not wait for the two to come. He spread his wings and flew back.

Unfortunately Lang Hu had already guessed that action and jumped to ambush himself until he fell tumbling. The two exchanged several attacks several times before Xika lay in surrender.

Lang Hu touched his tail around Xika's body and made her laugh out loud.

"Ahahahahaha....aqu....geli.....stop.....stop! I'm wrong!"

And finally the deadly tickle of Lang Hu stopped. Xika calmed her breath that had been hunting because of Lang Hu's tickling. He was extremely envious of Huo Bing who was in spirit form, so could hide in a time like this.

Lang Hu looked at Xika who was staring back at him. Then the two laughed again. But their laughter did not last long. Xika looked at the approaching red figure with a gaze that was still not peaceful.

"Buddy, this time I mean it. Help me." Help me."

Lang Hu smiled. Then he said,

"That's your business. See you soon."

Xika's expression immediately turned serious.

"alright. You forced me."

Lang Hu who was about to go broke his intentions out of curiosity as to what to do with Xika. He sat back and waited for the show to begin.

Hongbao did not look bothered by Xika's words earlier. He walked forward with a annoyed expression. Then it stopped when it was less than a meter away with Xika. He also wanted to know what the boy would do.

Xika yells.

"LANG HONGBAO!"

He shouted using Lang Yan's voice so both Lang Hu and Hongbao straightened their entire fur in surprise. Then Xika threw something and made smoke appear.

"See you."

After saying that he immediately flapped his wings as quickly as possible. Fortunately, the smoke he scattered this time was different from the smoke he used when meeting Xuehao. He mixed it with other plants to blur his sense of smell last night while chatting with Heiliao and Huo Bing.

"Ohuk!"

"Ouch! The kid really is!"

What Xika doesn't know is that the poison she throws is also useful for obscuring the wolf's vision. The plant he mixed was Confuse Flower. The flower that once saved his life. Who would have thought this flower would save his life again?

This forest where the wolves lived was truly fertile. It can find many high-level plants, and low-level plants like Confuse Flower also have higher properties than Diamond Shake.

Hongbao spread his gaze around. As expected, Xika had already disappeared. He sighed.

"I don't understand what's on his mind. Are all humans like that? The smoke he made was also very good. I've never seen anything like it. Wait, can humans make smoke? The smoke can cloud our senses" Hongbao said, shaking his head.

Lang Hu just stared at his lover. He also did not understand what was in the mind of the man named Xika. Hongbao spoke again.

"But I'm grateful he forgave you. He really isn't angry or vengeful at you at all. He behaves normally to us like this. I'm so grateful for that."

Lang Hu nodded.

"Yes. I'm also very grateful. But his mind is really strange. I just can't forgive myself if he hasn't spoken like that before. Fortunately, the wolves did not make the wrong decision. Otherwise, we will lose a good and strong friend in the future."

His girlfriend agreed. Then he looked at the darkening sky.

"Let's go home."

"Yes." Yeah."

And the two walked home to their house. While Xika is still wandering in the middle of the forest do not know that both of them have given up looking for her and are struggling with mosquitoes that always pull her from the dream world.

Days passed and Xika woke up on a branch of a pine tree. For a moment he was confused looking around him. During these three months he slept in the wild but never on a tree, so he somewhat forgot what it was like. Then he recalled the incident before he went to sleep and looked at his surroundings vigilantly.

He breathed a sigh of relief from not seeing a single wolf.

Huo Bing appeared and gave her a perverted idea.

"There are some wolves chatting not far from here. Come join them."

Xika smiled ignorantly.

"Come on."

And he did the same to the wolves as he did to Lang Hu and Hongbao. At first they were surprised. Then some laughed after knowing it was her disguised self as Lang Yan while others were interested in how she did it.

Week pass. Although it can not be said to refuse, but now there are many wolves who accept Xika as part of their race.

That day the sun was emitting its brightest rays and made many creatures complain of heat. Lang Tao is one of them. He was chatting with some wolves when a voice sounded.

"Why are you guys lounging around? Although the weather is hot, but that is not a reason to laze around. Hahhhh. What's the future for the wolves if you're all like this?"

That voice sounded like Lang Yan's voice. Lang Tao and a few others did not respond well.  They don't even look. They respond so badly.

"Haha. Very amusing. Not now, okay? I'm lazy." replied Lang Tao.

"GRDRR........."

But instead of Xika's voice, it sounded even a savage growl from a natural carnivore. Lang Tao and his friends immediately turned their heads in shock.

During this week Xika has been trying to kill other wolves by pretending to be other wolves. And one of the wolves he played most often was Lang Yan. It made many other wolves get used to his voice and no longer afraid like before.

This time, Lang Tao and the others thought it was just Xika playing around, so he responded with origin. However the one in front of them right now was Lang Yan. The real Lang Yan. It was not Xika who was pretending to be Lang Yan. They all stood up and saluted.

But Lang Yan's mood was already bad because of their previous attitude, so he did not respond to their respect well and just passed by making Lang Tao and his friends frightened. In their hearts they cursed at Xika.

Then he saw something from the corner of his eye. A man with the spirit of a bird perched on his shoulders. That child is one of the causes of his head dizziness. He walked closer.

"Hoi, kid!"

Xika leaped in shock before turning to look at Lang Yan. The old wolf looked at him confusedly at once strangely.

"Why are you surprised?"

'Because I was just pretending to be you' was the first thing that came to Xika's mind. Thankfully he did not say it. His brain turned hard and found the answer to a question he thought was very difficult at the time.

"Ah, I did not expect to meet with Leader Yan. What are you doing here?"

Lang Yan frowned.

"Can't I go for a walk?"

This time it was Xika's turn to be confused. He thought Lang Yan was an old wolf who would rather focus himself on the difficult political things that Xika did not want to know.

"Of course I can. I just didn't expect you'd be uh, taking a walk."

That last word of Xika made Lang Yan frown but he did not bother about it any further.

"Come here. I have something to talk to you about."

"Oh?"

Xika approached interested. He walked over to Lang Yan's side. The size of the old wolf was almost the same as Heiliao, only a few centis different. And the old wolf was two human heads taller than Xika even though Xika was already standing straight. The two went hand in hand and for a moment no one spoke.

"I wonder what Leader Yan wants to talk about."

"It's about your request."

"Ah, yes. Thank you for keeping your promise."

Xika got a plot and immediately corrected her words.

"Eh, I mean thank you for accepting me and my friend."

Lang Yan nodded in satisfaction.

"Not that one. Another request."

"Oh! Heiliao is doing her job. You won't renege on the promise that Heiliao gets it done in three years' time, will you?"

Lang Yan again frowned.

"Do I look like a wolf who won't keep his word?"

"Eitherway. You give such a faint feeling."

And Xika again got a plot from the old wolf. But this time he did not correct his words.

"Not that one either."

Xika thought for a while then recalled her last request.

"What do you want to ask for?" asked Lang Yan who saw Xika already knew what he was talking about. Xika did not answer. The old wolf spoke again.

"To be honest, this request of yours is one of the things that makes my head dizzy. But what can we do, we promised. We have to keep it."

"I'm flattered to be able to make Leader Yan a hassle."

"Just go. What do you want?"

"Do I have to use it now?"

That was simply not the answer Lang Yan had expected. He thought the boy would ask for one of the most valuable possessions of the wolves or be allowed into the treasury of the wolves. It is completely unthinkable that this man would not use his request directly. Usually, humans would be immediately tempted by the word 'anything' and would immediately use it without thinking about it first. Xika's attitude made her praise and condemn the child simultaneously. It was a good thing if he didn't use it now. One problem is reduced. But he believes the request he made in the future must have been more troublesome than it is now.

"I have a request that will involve all wolves. Isn't that amazing? I want to enjoy it a little longer."

"You don't know what you want to use it for, do you?"

"Not really."

Lang Yan raised his eyebrows next to his.

"All right, yeah."

Lang Yan gave a look that said 'already expected'.

"To be honest, I have some idea of what I would ask for. But I don't think it's something that has to be decided in a hurry. Leader Yan can calm down. One problem is solved. The leader can think about my request later only in the future."

"So you're not going to use your request now?"

"More or less, yes."

Lang Yan nodded. One problem is solved, at least for now. The burden of his mind is reduced now.

"Then I won't bother you anymore."

Lang Yan walked away.

"Ah, wait a moment Leader Yan."

The wolf paused his steps.

"What if I ask for something that doesn't make sense, like asking for your life?"

DEG!

Lang Yan was silent. He looked a little at her snout and said,

"You."

After that he again walked away, leaving Xika who was smiling mysteriously to see the response of one of the Wolf Leader's.
