Chapter 147
Chapter 147
It's the end of the month.
Shang Xi has arranged her work matters and informed her good friends, and with her son, she set out on the journey to the Snow Mountain with a mix of anticipation and trepidation.
The Snow Mountain, the dwelling place of the Wolf Clan.
She has always heard about it, and now, she is going there.
On the day of departure, at the old mansion of the Gu family, as night fell, more than twenty wolfmen gathered there, all of them about to return to the Snow Mountain, coming to "hitch a ride" at the Gu family.
Riding on the special vehicles made at great expense by the Gu family, they can reach the destination in half a month, whereas it would take them three months if they were to run there on their own feet.
They must bring along the dry rations and clothing they will need for the half-month journey.
So each wolfman has a bundle on their back.
They all enthusiastically greeted Shang Xi: "Wow, it's the mistress of the clan leader! We've met before at the clan leader's birthday, do you remember us?"
"The mistress is going back to the Snow Mountain with us!"
"The clan leader is also bringing his mate back to the Snow Mountain, when will I have a mate too? Wuwuwu..."
Gu's mother, Gu's father, Gu Yao, and Gu Chen are all going back together, because this is Shang Xi and the baby's first time returning to the Snow Mountain, and the newlyweds will hold the mating ceremony of the Wolf Clan there.
What's worth Shang Xi's attention is that among this group of wolfmen, besides her, there are two pure humans - one is a woman around her age, tightly held by the hand of a wolfman with yellow-gray ears; the other woman is about thirty years old, voluptuous, and boldly made up, her gaze sweeping around the wolfmen.
After noticing Shang Xi's gaze, she nodded and smiled at her.
Shang Xi nodded lightly in return.
"What are you looking at?" a deep male voice sounded.
"If I'm not mistaken, she's a pure human, right?"
Gu Wen glanced over and hummed in affirmation.
"This time, there are three pure humans going back to the Snow Mountain."
Shang Xi looked up at the darkening sky, recalling her recent conversation with Gu Wen.
"The Snow Mountain of your Wolf Clan must be a place unknown to humans, right? Is it at the ends of the world, and you have to take a plane to the entrance?"
At that time, she was leaning against Gu Wen's chest, caressing his furry big ears, cuddling on the tatami mat, gazing at the stars in the sky.
This wolfman's big tail arrogantly coiled around her waist, extremely comfortable and relaxed, his voice a bit lazy: "The Snow Mountain is another world."
"Ah?" she was surprised: "Is it another planet?"
Gu Wen's thin lips parted, and he said, "In human terms, the Snow Mountain is a dreamland, it only exists for our Wolf Clan."
Shang Xi felt somewhat at a loss: "What does that mean? It's like the heavenly palace where the immortals live, imaginable but unseen."
Gu Wen pinched her face and curved his lips: "You can understand it that way."
Shang Xi felt... this world is really magical.
"Then where is the entrance? Do we have to take a plane?"
"No need, there's an entrance in Qingcheng."
Shang Xi looked up at him in surprise: "Where?"
Gu Wen looked at her endearing expression, his tail tightening around Shang Xi's waist, he asked her in a low voice: "Do you remember where those dozens of fallen wolfmen descended from last time?"
Shang Xi's eyes widened, dumbfounded: "So it's... the large mountain behind Nanfeng Courtyard?"
So close???
"That's right, the exit and entrance are both at the end of the forest on the highest peak."
Knowing the truth, Shang Xi was dumbfounded for a few seconds.
The night fell.
The moonlight hung over the forest.
Dozens of "people" stood at the foot of the mountain.
"Alright, let's set off." As Gu Wen's words fell, those "people" began to transform, howls echoing one after another, and one wolf after another appeared.
This scene was terrifying and eerie.
Shang Xi had already seen Gu Wen change form many times, and she had also experienced the invasion of the fallen wolfmen into Nanfeng Courtyard that night, so she was not panicked or frightened by this.
She was more accustomed to it than she had imagined...
That 1.6-meter-tall woman in a pink down jacket was clearly frightened by the scene before her, tightly holding her mate's hand, her body trembling, not daring to look too much.
Shang Xi then looked at the other voluptuous woman, who was not only unafraid, but her eyes were shining with excitement, as if she was about to jump up.
"So awesome! Just like a movie, so cool!"
Shang Xi: "..."
The woman exclaimed excitedly: "Honey, you change too!"
Her mate smiled shyly, then his gaze sharpened, and he transformed on the spot into a wolf with black, green, and yellow fur, the colors too gaudy, making Shang Xi blink her eyes.
The woman let out a scream, then laughed heartily, and the black, green, and yellow wolfman lowered his body, and the woman climbed onto his back: "Honey! To the mountain!"
"Howl!"
The pair rushed into the forest.
Shang Xi watched, amazed.
The next moment, her chin was grasped, and she met a pair of emerald-like eyes, Gu Wen murmuring lowly: "What are you looking at, you have one too."
"And the biggest one."
Shang Xi was amused.
The next moment, she saw Gu's mother riding on the back of a pure black wolfman, waving at them: "Children, let's go."
Those bringing their mates back were not many, most of them were single wolfmen, and seeing this, they all let out howls, their voices full of envy, then rushed towards the forest in anguish.
Baby Shang, infected by his fellow clansmen, also transformed into a chubby little wolf cub, and he howled at Gu Wen.
"You carry your mother."
He also wanted to rush into the forest, like the other wolfmen.
He overestimated himself so much, relying only on those four short, fat little legs.
Gu Wen snorted softly, quickly grabbing the cub who was about to run, and placed him in Shang Xi's arms: "You hold him."
Shang Xi held the cub who glared resentfully, gently saying: "Baby, stay with Mom, don't run, or they might step on you."
Baby Shang: ...
Step on him?
Step! On! Him!
Shang Xi's words, though not very damaging, were extremely insulting... Because her son did not have the self-awareness of a young cub yet.
Shang Xi was about to speak again when she noticed the sky darkening above her, something blocking the moonlight, a huge black shadow appeared in front of her.
"Roar..." the familiar low growl sounded.
She looked up.
A giant wolf taller than her stood before her, sticking out its tongue to affectionately lick her face and hands.
Then it grabbed her with its jaws and tossed her backwards, mother and son both falling into the fluffy fur.
Shang Xi clutched the wolf's fur, skillfully mounting it, her arms holding the unwilling chubby cub, who was angrily making little cub sounds, but one day... one day... he will grow bigger than his father, and gallop across the mountains carrying his mother!
Shang Xi didn't know why, but the corner of her lips curled up, and she shouted loudly: "Honey, we've fallen behind, what should we do?"
The wolf's wolf eyes slowly turned green, and it threw back its head and howled.
The huge long tail wrapped around the mother and son, and then their body shot forward like an arrow, rushing through the forest, like a gust of wind.
In the darkness, in the gusting wind, Shang Xi couldn't see anything, only hearing the commotion in the forest.
She hugged her son tightly, laughing: "Honey, you're so amazing!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, the giant wolf ran even faster.
So it's no surprise that they were the first to reach the mountaintop.
Shang Xi's eyes crinkled in a smile, thinking, ah, she had become childish too.
But never mind.
She's laughing now, she's happy, and that's enough.
