Chapter 22: "Hey, Ren Yuan, I Just Figure Out Again, That You Are No Longer Alone, Huh?"
"Ha… Ha…"
With half-lidded sapphire eyes, Shao Cheng let out harsh pants while feeling extremely heavy as he continues to run forward, his entire body already feeling numb while he was quite sure that there is already froze bite on it.
Although Shao Cheng has been using his own internal energy to keep his body warm against the cold temperature along with some of the purple energy during the entire journey, with just barely stopping to take a break is already what he could handle, it is already a miracle enough that he was able to keep going in the past two days.
Hahaha, maybe this is the power of love? Shao Cheng couldn't help but inwardly snicker at his ridiculous joke before letting out a very tired sigh.
Joke alone, Shao Cheng can only stop running, purple power or not, he was already in his current limit and forcing himself anymore wouldn't be productive and will cause more trouble than he wants to, after all, he couldn't fall now, at least not until Ren Yuan survive his current ordeal.
Shao Cheng doesn't even know when the snowstorm will happen and couldn't help but wonder if Peng Pao has made his move earlier than he supposed to be from what happened in his previous life, or is Ren Yuan alright right now?
Did Ren Yuan got ambushed and attack already?
Is he injured? Dying?
There are too many worries in his mind whirling chaotically, provoking a great headache as he walks over toward a large tree that was able to block the bitingly cold wind away from his tired body.
And what the hell is Ren Yuan doing in the freezingly cold mountain anyway? After all, from the direction that Shao Cheng has been traveling as the purple dragon continues to tell him which direction it can feel Ren Yuan's presence with, there is only one place that Shao Cheng can think of which is the Snow Mountain where constant snow dropdown most of the time in an entire year.
But if he thought about what kind of resources that can be found in that place, there are only two things that stood out that can rarely get in a certain condition, season and time and date during this time.
One is the mystical snow fox who is famous for its soft fur, while its meat and bone can be used for healing, while its heart can greatly be used as a kind of nutrition to a person with a weak constitution that no normal herbs can easily heal.
While a herb which is known as snow crystalize flower with all pure white color, are quite good to a weak heart, which was a hard thing to find because it grows while it's buried under the snow and needed to be careful dig up at the same time.
In the large expense of snow-covered mountains, how could you easily find a herb that is pure white color?
Luckily, everyone knows that a surrounding beast will be close to where it might grow, though the person still needs to figure out where its exact location is.
In this world, there are different herbs, animals, plants and many more from the previous world that Shao Cheng has lived a normal life.
And a weak body…and for the heart huh...Shao Cheng suddenly remember that a special person toward Ren Yuan has died early on because the day that Ren Yuan was betrayed, that person body especially weaken in that year and needed those items so badly, which is why when Ren Yuan failed, a few months later, that person died, which was among the closest friends or person that Ren Yuan really care that is why it has affected his change of attitude a bit more.
To come this way, and in a harsh condition, Ren Yuan sure treats that person nicely.
Somehow, it makes Shao Cheng feel uncomfortable thinking about it which reminds him of the fact that just like he has the chance to redo his mistake and get along with his current family in this life, Ren Yuan has his closest family in this life once more, after all in the past, there was only less than three people alive in the Ren Family.
"Awooo…. Awooo…"
Suddenly Shao Cheng ears caught the sound of a beast which he can tell belong to a wolf, the uncomfortable feeling has instantly disappeared as he focuses more on what is currently happening before him.
From what he can hear, the howling beasts was a safe distance away from his current location.
Shao Cheng would have instantly make a move and run away since wolf is dangerously vicious animal after all, especially when they are in a group, even though he can probably fight back but he doesn't feel like fighting a group bunch of fierce wolf at the moment, but what makes his feet rooted in the spot is the way those howling sound felt more like a sad voice of a crying beast, causing his curiosity to be incited.
Because this animal has 'intelligent' on it.
Suddenly, Shao Cheng misses his bluebird, after all, after the experiment, he did with his newfound power, the bluebird has mutated and has gained wisdom and intelligent while its life has miraculously grown longer.
Closing his eyes, Shao Cheng began to connect his consciousness around the spiritual energy around him before finally reaching over and saw that a bunch of wolves dead bodies being surrounded by a group of wolfs, while the biggest among them seemed to be the one that has been howling loudly the entire time.
This is the beast that has intelligence born on it, as Shao Cheng can clearly see those grey eyes burning with sadness, hatred, and anger as he paces around the dead animal before him, while sometimes nudging his nose toward a group of breathing albeit weak young wolf pups.
Ah, from what he can observe, it seemed that this group of male wolfs that has gone out to hunt for food has just returned to find their young pups and a female wolfs was attacked and killed by someone.
Which was a bit of useless and futile move, that person sure has a problem with his personality to has just done this senseless and cruel killing.
At least when Shao Cheng kills, there was always a reason behind it but right now everything is…
"Perfect, just what I needed right now."
Suddenly a beautiful gentle smile appears on his face while using his mind to connect to the big wolf leader.
Though if the people who greatly know Shao Cheng's personality, they will probably explain that that is the smile of a devil, something that you shouldn' believe so easily because nothing good will come out from it.
Soon, a group of running footsteps resounds in Shao Cheng ears before a group of wolf pack appears in his eyes and among the group of wolfs, the biggest wolf among them has slowly stepped forward to confront him.
Soon calm sapphire eyes met the fierce and ruthless grey eyes which then has cause the entire clearing to stay silent, however, the big wolf with the color grey and white has suddenly seemed to have sensed something at Shao Cheng body since it's instantly moving in a human way as it kneeled on him like a loyal follower bowing toward his leader.
Lord…
That is the only thought that can Shao Cheng understand from him at their small connection.
Lord huh? Probably senses the purple energy within him since that is the only reason that Shao Cheng can think of, after all, animals have always been exceedingly sharper and sensitive than humans so, toward them, he was probably like the landlord in the land they live right?
Huh, Shao Cheng found another way to use his special power, this is going to be so useful.
"Since you accepted my offer. There is no need to worry. I'll even let you guys have your revenge on the people that have killed your loved ones."
After all, where is the high chance that there is a bunch of strange and cruel people currently traveling in the direction of where Ren Yuan is which has senselessly killed the unprotected animal?
As for the chance of Ren Yuan causing the death of the female wolf and their children, please, that man will not do something so senseless such as killing a bunch of unprotected beasts just for the heck of it.
Wait… Ren Yuan might do it though? That man move can be unpredictable sometimes… urgh, he will think about it later.
Seeing as the big wolf has stood up, Shao Cheng once more smiles before walking ahead, the crunching sound of the snow being stepped on resound loudly at the silent forest that is covered with snow.
"Come on, as I promise, I will heal and save your young wolf pups lives."
