"Repay, do I need to repay?" Liu Jiao was both surprised and puzzled. "How do I repay?"
The Snow Wolf King gently answered, "Beautiful Lady could also grant me a 'favor,' what do you think?"
After a moment of bewilderment, Liu Jiao finally grasped the situation. His face blushed instantaneously. "Great King... you mean... what we just did?"
"Yes." The Snow Wolf King still lay on his side, his eyes filled with a smiling expression.
Liu Jiao swallowed and took a deep breath. He slowly extended a tender, white hand from under the blanket, shook it in the air, and then gradually reached into Snow Wolf King's loosely tied robe.
"This... " Liu Jiao was greatly surprised.
Was the difference between the feline and canine families really this vast?
With a mix of shock and embarrassment, Liu Jiao blindly explored with his hands.
The Snow Wolf King gently narrowed his eyes, "Can you serve me 'completely,' my beauty?"
"Ahem... Yes, Great King," Liu Jiao cleared his throat and had to extend his other hand as well.
This could be considered 'complete' now...
Liu Jiao, dumbfounded, thought to himself, "Thank goodness I didn't go through with it, or my buttocks would have truly suffered a blossoming fate!"
How could this buttocks endure such a thing?
Could there be a risk of death?
If he died, did it count as sacrificing for the country?
Lost in a whirlwind of thoughts, Liu Jiao's actions slowed down. The Snow Wolf King couldn't help but lightly clear his throat as a reminder.
Liu Jiao snapped back to attention, clearing his throat as well, and began to intensify his efforts at full speed. Unexpectedly, the Snow Wolf King furrowed his brow, coughed again, and said, "No need to extend the claws."
Liu Jiao let out a startled "Ah," hastily apologizing, "I'm sorry. It was an accident..."
"It's alright."
"Is it okay if 'that area' got scratched by the claws?" asked Liu Jiao. "The Great King is truly valiant and extraordinary!"
The Snow Wolf King, enduring the pain, said, "Let's call it a day for today."
Liu Jiao nodded hurriedly.
The Snow Wolf King turned around, pulled the blanket over, initially planning to endure it, but eventually said, "However... remember to trim your nails next time."
Listening to the Snow Wolf King's words, Liu Jiao felt something wasn't quite right. He feared he might have harmed his sacred body, so he asked, "Great King, are you really okay?"
The Snow Wolf King just smiled, "Didn't you say I'm valiant and extraordinary? I can't let down a compliment from a beauty like you."
Liu Jiao covered himself with the blanket and slept alongside Snow Wolf King.
In the middle of the night, Liu Jiao frowned, suddenly opening his eyes.
Liu Jiao found the space beside him empty. The Snow Wolf King was no longer there.
A sinking feeling gripped him, recalling the "incident" before sleep. He thought, Could it be that Snow Wolf King was truly injured? Maybe he went to see a doctor?
Honestly, if the Snow Wolf King was hurt, why didn't he tell him?
Could it be he felt embarrassed?
What was there to be embarrassed about?
Liu Jiao leaped from the bed, sniffed the air, quickly confirming the Snow Wolf King's location.
Luckily, he sensed that the Snow Wolf King hadn't gone far, certainly not to the infirmary. Liu Jiao quietly pushed open the bedroom door and heard faint, steady breathing outside the crimson gauze window. Peering through, he spotted the attendant Lanmao curled up, tail wrapped around, peacefully snoozing.
It seemed that the Snow Wolf King's awakening hadn't disturbed the night attendants.
Leveraging the agility of a nocturnal creature, Liu Jiao tiptoed, tail lifted, through a corridor in the Snow Hall. No attendant noticed him. The other end of the corridor led to the study.
Light spilled from the study, and the Snow Wolf King's aura emanated from within.
"So late, what is the Great King doing in the study?"
Liu Jiao puzzled, but still approached the door and knocked.
The Snow Wolf King's voice came through the door, still as warm and melodic, "Come in, my beauty."
Liu Jiao entered, seeing the Snow Wolf King seated at the desk, holding a teacup. Upon noticing Liu Jiao, he momentarily froze. The Snow Wolf King's features, already picturesque, now seemed suspended, almost like a painting. Liu Jiao found himself equally captivated.
Liu Jiao stood in bewilderment, the Snow Wolf King stared in astonishment. Meanwhile, Hong Huli was neither bewildered nor astonished. He promptly knelt and closed his eyes, exclaiming, "Ahya, I can't see anything!"
A draft swept through the room, causing Liu Jiao to shiver. Suddenly, it dawned on him: Wait... am I not wearing any clothes?
Hong Huli, seeing both Liu Jiao and the Great King silent, silently lowered his head, closed his eyes, and prostrated himself as he exited the room.
Liu Jiao's face turned as red as a tomato. Awkwardly, he hugged himself with both hands, his large tail swung from behind to in front, strategically covering crucial areas.
The Snow Wolf King laughed. "Not biting tails anymore?"
Liu Jiao shrank, bowing his head in silence.
The Snow Wolf King asked, "Why the trembling?"
"Ah..." Liu Jiao's eyes darted around. "The draft... it's a bit chilly."
"Then, close the door."
"Yes." Liu Jiao, still holding himself, lifted his leg and kicked the door shut.
"Come here."
Liu Jiao tiptoed like a thief, appearing somewhat guilty. He slowly approached the desk and knelt down, his large tail remaining cautiously draped over his waist.
"Why run around unclothed instead of sleeping properly?" the Snow Wolf King asked, pulling off his large shawl and draping it over Liu Jiao. "Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
When his body was covered with clothing, Liu Jiao's tense muscles finally relaxed. He reached to adjust the shawl and explained, "I woke up and didn't see you. I thought..."
The words following "thought" lingered uncomfortably, and Liu Jiao suddenly stopped himself.
"Thought what?" the Snow Wolf King prodded with a smile.
After some consideration, Liu Jiao continued, "Thought I had scratched you."
"That didn't happen."
"Really?" Liu Jiao asked with wide eyes.
Even if Liu Jiao's Biology knowledge was lacking, he knew that area was the most delicate!
The Snow Wolf King said, "You ask, I answer, you don't believe, you ask again... it's endless."
"Well..." Liu Jiao nodded, "I shouldn't have doubted."
"How about this, since you don't believe me when I say I'm fine, why not take a look for yourself?"
