The Emperor Reigns Them All - Chapter 488
Chapter 488 Losing a Lot of Dignity
“By the way, my name is Hong Xiu. What about you?” The little girl happily followed White Wolf, looking very excited and curious, as if she was not worried that she would be eaten. Or, for some reason, death was not so unacceptable to her for her young age…
“White Wolf,” said the demon indifferently.
“Then I’ll call you Da Bai!”
“That’s a dog’s name! Call me Master White Wolf!”
“Okay, Da Bai!”
“…”
“Da Bai, can you take me to fly?”
“Call me Master White Wolf!”
“Okay, okay, I know, Da Bai!”
The demon was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. He picked up the little girl with a gloomy face and flew up into the air.
“Wow!!! I can fly!”
“Keep your hands and feet still. Be careful not to fall!”
“I know, I know. It won’t taste good if I fall to pieces!”
“…”
…
Before long, White Wolf stopped flying with the little girl and had to walk with his feet because the little girl was about to throw up.
“A weak mortal!” White Wolf’s face was gloomy.
The little girl tightly grabbed White Wolf’s clothes with her small hand. She was just about the height of his knees. She walked askew because of her dizziness. “Master White Wolf, please slow down. I can’t keep up…”
White Wolf was so angry that his head was going to explode, but he could do nothing.
When it was dark, the little girl finally recovered, but it was time to rest.
She quickly collected dry branches and spent a lot of effort to arrange them on the open space in the forest. Squatting on the ground, she carefully lit them with fire. Then she lay on the ground and puffed her cheeks to keep blowing. Finally, a bonfire was lit.
Seeing the little girl busy, White Wolf was in a bad mood. He seemed to become a useless demon at this moment.
“Humph! Mortal!” White Wolf was unhappy. As a big demon, it was easy for him to light a fire.
After making the bonfire, the little girl took out a carrot from the bamboo basket. Sitting on the small stone that she brought, she wiped it with her dirty sleeve several times. Finally, she took a bite and then ate it happily and absorbedly.
White Wolf was speechless.
Seeing White Wolf’s gloomy face, the little girl thought for a moment. She turned around and took out another carrot from the bamboo basket. She handed it to White Wolf enthusiastically and said, “Do you want to eat it?”
White Wolf stood up in disgust. “Are you kidding me? Have you ever seen a wolf eating carrots?”
When the little girl saw White Wolf leaving, her round face was full of curiosity and doubts. “Where are you going?”
White Wolf snorted and said proudly, “I’m noble. How can I sleep in the same place as you, a mortal?”
“Oh…” The little girl ducked her head and continued to eat the carrot, but she ate it more slowly.
White Wolf was going to look for something like a wild beast to satisfy his appetite. Before long, he jumped to the crown of a huge tree and looked around. When he was about to take action, a frightened voice suddenly came from behind him. “Ah, ah…”
White Wolf turned around and immediately realized that the sound came from the bonfire and that it belonged to the little girl. He cursed in his heart and quickly rushed over through movement techniques. As expected, the little girl was no longer in front of the bonfire, leaving the overturned bamboo basket, and a few scattering turnips and herbs on the ground.
White Wolf’s eyes darkened.
It was not long before he caught up with the little girl. He didn’t know whether she was knocked unconscious or scared unconscious. A demon tiger was carrying her on his shoulder and flying in the forest.
White Wolf landed in front of the demon tiger with a cold look. “Put down my food.”
The demon tiger stopped but showed no fear. He looked at White Wolf and laughed. “Aren’t you Master White Wolf? I haven’t seen you for a hundred years. Are you finally out of seclusion?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Put her down and get out!” White Wolf said proudly.
The demon tiger’s laughter was even more exaggerated. He put down the little girl and showed his Magic Treasure, looking fierce. “You have cultivated in seclusion for a hundred years. Today, I want to see how far you have improved your cultivation!”
Then the demon tiger moved forward.
“It’s enough to kill you!” White Wolf sneered and met him through movement techniques.
A while later, the demon tiger fell to the ground. White Wolf stood tall and snorted with disdain, looking very arrogant.
When the little girl woke up, she was already in front of the bonfire. Rubbing her sore eyes, she looked around and only saw White Wolf sitting nearby. She couldn’t help but widen her innocent eyes. She asked curiously, “Where is the big cat?”
“Big cat? That’s a tiger! Don’t you know that you were almost eaten?!” White Wolf roared angrily. As a big demon, he was always cold and invincible, but since he met this little girl, he became angry every minute.
“Wow! Tiger!” The little girl jumped up and looked around excitedly. Her little face was full of brilliance. “I have never seen a tiger before!”
White Wolf was speechless.
He turned his head away and determined out of sight, out of mind.
The little girl suddenly let out a cry of surprise and revealed an expression of concern. She saw a wound on White Wolf’s arm bleeding. The little girl returned to the bamboo basket, bent her waist, and looked for something for a long time. Finally, she took out a small black and ugly dagger, and then she silently cut off a piece of her clothes with her head low.
“Master White Wolf, you are injured.” The little girl came to White Wolf and rolled up his sleeve without a word. She bandaged his wound with dexterity, looking very earnest and serious.
White Wolf didn’t know what to say.
“What a joke! As a big demon, such a small wound is nothing to me. I once had my guts punched out, but I didn’t frown!”
Although he thought so in his heart, White Wolf didn’t move, nor snorted proudly as usual. He silently waited for her to wrap up his wound, and then he blushed a little.
“Done!” The little girl looked at White Wolf and cried happily, satisfied with her masterpiece. Even though White Wolf sat on the ground, she was only as high as his shoulders.
Staring at the bandaged wound, White Wolf felt speechless. It turned out that the little girl made a bowknot for him, which was very big.
White Wolf’s mouth twitched. He spent so much effort to persuade himself that he didn’t tear off the cloth. Then he directly lay on the ground and began to sleep. He felt that he could no longer communicate with the little girl. He should go to sleep and be quiet as soon as possible, or he would be driven crazy by her. “Go to sleep!”
But he couldn’t find a reason to be angry with the little girl.
The little girl looked puzzled and asked innocently, “But didn’t you say that you are noble, so you won’t sleep in the same place as me?”
The veins bulged on White Wolf’s forehead. “I’m afraid that you will be taken away again!” “Shut up! Go to sleep!”
“Okay…” the little girl whispered. She turned around and put the scattering turnips and herbs into the bamboo basket, and then she went to sleep leaning against the bamboo basket.
Soon, the little girl fell asleep, curling up her thin body and breathing smoothly. She was really tired after a day’s journey today.
A while later, White Wolf sat up and came to the little girl. He went to find food, but he came back halfway. He hadn’t taken a sip of water after out of seclusion. He was really hungry now.
He reached out his hand carefully, quietly approached, and took a turnip out from the bamboo basket. He frowned and looked at it for a while. With great fortitude, he put it into his mouth and took a bite. Without chewing it twice, he spat it to the ground. “Bah! It tastes really bad!”
White Wolf had nothing to do. Although he didn’t need to sleep, he still slept.
The next morning, although he closed his eyes, he also felt the light. Then he felt that someone was binding up his head with rustles. Of course, he knew that it was the little girl, so he paid no attention.
Then… he regretted it.
When he had to wake up, he found that his head was wrapped like Zongzi. Besides, the cloth that wrapped his head was pink, which made him very angry. “You little mortal, what have you done to me?!”
“Hey hey!” The little girl giggled and raised her small face. She laughed so hard that her eyes almost couldn’t be seen. She said to White Wolf, “Last night, the big cat shot a big lump on your head. Although the big lump disappeared in the morning, it was still bleeding, so I put some herbs on it and bound it up. Otherwise, you’ll get tetanus!”
White Wolf felt that his life was meaningless.
He turned away and decided to ignore her. He covered his face and began to walk. “Hurry up. Get to the sea as soon as possible so that I can eat you early!”
…
On the steep mountain road, the little girl bent over. She was out of breath from fatigue, and her head almost ducked to the road. She pitifully said, “Master White Wolf, I can’t walk anymore.”
White Wolf walked silently in front of her. “And then?”
He already took the little girl to fly today, so she needed to take a rest for half a day. If he took her to fly anymore, the little girl would definitely throw up.
The little girl raised her head, and her big eyes were full of expectation. “Will you carry me?”
“That’s absolutely impossible! I’m Master White Wolf. As a big demon and a master in the Real Immortal Realm, how can I carry a weak mortal?!” White Wolf refused resolutely.
Two hours later, the little girl lay on White Wolf’s back.
White Wolf was of few words and always kept silent, so it was the little girl who talked most of the time. She was thinking now, and she asked curiously, “Master White Wolf, how will you eat me then?”
White Wolf was speechless.Updates by Novel Time Z
In order to reach the sea as soon as possible, he lost a lot of dignity along the way. If he didn’t carry her on his back, he didn’t know when he would get there. After all, she was just a child… “Carrying her is only for getting to the East Sea early and eating her early.”
“Well, that’s it.”
Since White Wolf didn’t answer, the little girl earnestly gave him a suggestion. “Steam or barbecue? If you want to barbecue me, I tell you not to add peppers. I’m allergic to peppers, so it will taste bad if you eat me like that… Actually, I think it’s better to steam me so that I won’t burn red, and I can still maintain a complete shape. Otherwise, I will be very ugly! What’s more, it will taste better, and maybe, it can keep the original taste and flavor…”
White Wolf’s head was still wrapped with pink cloth, and his head was buzzing. He felt that if he didn’t speak, the little girl could talk to herself all day.
Actually, he knew that steaming would also turn her red, but he didn’t say that.
“By the way, why do you have to see the sea?” White Wolf asked.
