⋇⊶⊰Chapter 79⊱⊷⋇
Noble Consort Yang's mention of "sheep's tail" confused Liu Jiao.
Liu Jiao returned to Snow Hall on the Wolf Mountain, perplexed. Inside the hall, the Snow Wolf King lay on the side, resembling a jade sculpture.
Seated by the stool, Liu Jiao silently propped his chin, watching the Snow Wolf King.
After a while, the Snow Wolf King opened his eyes and smilingly asked, "What's wrong?"
Liu Jiao mumbled for a while before answering, "I don't know either!"
Seeing Liu Jiao seemingly troubled, the Snow Wolf King lifted him onto the bed. "You seem preoccupied lately."
Thinking he hid it well, Liu Jiao sighed as the Snow Wolf King saw through him. "Nothing escapes the Great King's keen eyes!"
The Snow Wolf King, with a faint tone, said, "You did manage to hide it. I was curious about your worries before guessing. Is it related to Leng Jiao? You keep going to his place every day."
"It had nothing to do with him." Liu Jiao shook his head.
The Snow Wolf King grew even more puzzled. "Well, now I'm really intrigued."
Watching the Snow Wolf King display a perplexed expression, Liu Jiao found it somewhat amusing, "Great King, do you have worries too?"
The Snow Wolf King chuckled. "Of course. Everyone has their share of concerns."
Liu Jiao added, "Well, yes, I have my worries too."
The Snow Wolf King gently asked, "What's bothering you? Share it with me, maybe I can help."
Liu Jiao felt a bit cheerful. "I'm sure the Great King can help."
The Snow Wolf King said, "That's good." After that, he made a gesture as if to say, "I'm all ears."
Clearing his throat, Liu Jiao said, "I've thought about it, and I want the Great King to bestow your favor upon me."
The Snow Wolf King almost choked. "Cough, what did you say?"
Thinking the Snow Wolf King might not have heard clearly, Liu Jiao, feeling frustrated, boldly declared, "I want the Great King to favor me!"
The voice was so loud that Da Huangya, Ah Ye, Lanmao, and Hong Huli outside heard it. The four attendants exchanged glances, all a bit surprised. However, Hong Huli, nonchalant as ever, casually remarked, "Self-draw thirteen wonders."
"Are you cheating!" Da Huangya got angry. "Quack quack quack!"
So, the four of them started reshuffling the cards.
Inside the bedroom, the Snow Wolf King said to Liu Jiao, "Didn't I bestow my favor on you every day?"
Liu Jiao shook his head. "Are you just fooling me? If you favored me, why don't I have teeth marks when I use the Secret Fragrance on my neck?"
The Snow Wolf King, recalling that Leng Jiao told Liu Jiao this, said, "That's just Leng Jiao being nosy."
"What Leng Jiao said shouldn't be wrong!"
"Did he say anything absurd?"
After thinking for a moment, Liu Jiao said, "Not much, just let me take a look at his tail."
"......" The Snow Wolf King took in a sharp breath.
The Great King, renowned and peerless...
However, Liu Jiao, nestled in the Snow Wolf King's arms, nudged him and said, "I don't understand, why doesn't the Great King bite my neck?" After pondering for a while, he added, "It can't be that you don't like me, right?"
The Snow Wolf King replied, "Of course not."
"So why is that?"
Suddenly flipping over, the Snow Wolf King pinned Liu Jiao down. He found himself unable to move as the usually refined Snow Wolf King slightly parted his pale lips, revealing sharp white fangs. It was a far cry from his usual gentle and elegant demeanor. Startled, Liu Jiao leaped three meters away, biting his tail in the corner, trembling.
The Snow Wolf King retracted his fangs, lazily lying back down, shedding the intimidating aura. He said, "Look at how scared you are. How can I proceed? Forget about the neck. I'm afraid you wouldn't agree even if I bit your foot."
Fiddling with his tail in the corner, Liu Jiao pondered for a while, feeling gloomy.
The melancholy in the Wolf Palace wasn't exclusive to Liu Jiao. There was also the love-stricken Bai Lingling. Unable to enter Nishang Palace, Bai Lingling was restless, unable to find peace.
One night, Bai Lingling decided to forsake his dignity, transforming into a wolf. With determination, he bit the bullet and squeezed through the dog hole of Nishang Palace.
Inside Nishang Palace, Bai Lingling found no one and followed the scent to locate the Sheep Noble Consort. In the moonlight, Leng Jiao transformed into a sheep, grazing in the courtyard. Spotting a glowing-eyed wolf, he was scared and "baa-ed" as he sprinted away.
Bai Lingling swiftly chased after him.
In the mountains, it might be a different story, but on this narrow ground, the sheep couldn't outrun the wolf. Soon, the pitiful Noble Consort was cornered by Bai Lingling.
"What... what do you want?" Leng Jiao said, "Do you believe... believe me... I'll use my horns to bump you... bump your lungs?"
"Absolutely, you can do anything you want to me," Bai Lingling said affectionately, "As long as you like it, feel free to bump my lungs!"
Hearing Bai Lingling's words, Leng Jiao finally calmed down from the shock. "Lord Bai?"
"It's me," Bai Lingling said, "Don't you recognize me?"
Wolves all looked the same, how could he possibly recognize!
Leng Jiao cleared his throat, feeling that Bai Lingling's emotions were a bit unstable. Trying to please, he said, "Ah, looking at your fur, so smooth and beautiful, indeed you are Lord Bai."
Bai Lingling said, "I know entering like this goes against reason and courtesy. But after repeatedly being denied an audience, I had no choice but to come up with this somewhat inappropriate plan. I hope you understand."
Leng Jiao didn't really want to understand, but given the situation where he, as a sheep, was only five centimeters away from the wolf, he was naturally very accommodating. He nodded and said, "I completely understand. Please go back now. I will definitely meet you next time."
"Really?" Bai Lingling felt pleasantly surprised.
"Of course. The reason we didn't meet earlier was mainly due to being too busy," Leng Jiao said, "However, sneaking in like this at midnight is really not wise. If someone sees us, as a consort, I would naturally be criticized, and Lord Bai might also face censure."
"You're right," Bai Lingling apologized, "I was too impulsive. I'll leave immediately..."
"Oh, you two are having an affair!" Someone stood not far away, pointing at them and loudly shouted, "I'll report to the Great King!"
Bai Lingling was greatly alarmed by the words, turned around, and saw Bai Qingsi standing on a small bridge nearby, looking quite pleased with himself.
"Baa, baa? Nothing's happening! Don't spread rumors!"
As it turned out, Bai Qingsi also lived in Leng Jiao's palace. Unable to sleep in the middle of the night, he heard some commotion and came out to see. Unexpectedly, he witnessed a wolf pinning a sheep against the wall, not eating, just making a fuss, undoubtedly suspicious activity.
Leng Jiao weakly defended, "It's really nothing!"
Bai Qingsi, however, continued chanting, clasping his hands in front of his chest, emitting a bewitching aura. Leng Jiao and Bai Lingling instantly transformed into human forms.
Under Bai Qingsi's divine demonic power, both of them naturally appeared without a stitch, completely exposed in the garden.
Before Leng Jiao and Bai Lingling could react, Bai Qingsi loudly shouted, "Heavens! Someone is having an affair outdoors! Everyone, come and see!"
Good news didn't go beyond the door, but scandal traveled a thousand miles. If someone were to act bravely, there might not be many people willing to come out in the middle of the night to witness it. But if it were an outdoor indiscretion, that would be a different story. The maids from Nishang Palace hurriedly ran out, exclaiming, "Let me see! Let me see!"
Caught off guard, Bai Lingling and Leng Jiao didn't have time to find cover, embarrassed, hiding in the bushes.
Leng Jiao, throwing aside any sense of dignity, glared at Bai Lingling and said, "Didn't I tell you not to come looking for me in the middle of the night? Look at what you've done now!"
Seeing the situation, Bai Lingling urged, "Hurry! Hurry up and bump my lungs!"
Leng Jiao, looking into Bai Lingling's eyes, suddenly understood and lifted his sheep horn to execute the lung-bumping. Though sheep are herbivores, their horns are no joke. With one forceful bump, Bai Lingling, caught off guard, was sent flying and crashed into the wall.
Leng Jiao's maids recognized him, panicked, and quickly brought clothes to cover him. Leng Jiao emerged from the bushes, whimpering. The maid asked, "What happened?"
Pointing at Bai Lingling, Leng Jiao sternly said, "This wanderer trespassed into the palace, affronting me."
Bai Qingsi insisted, "I clearly saw you two having an affair! I witnessed it with my own eyes!"
Bai Lingling, holding his injured chest, only said, "No! I'm a pervert! I'm a pervert! Quick, arrest me!"
Bai Qingsi, eager to create chaos, kept shouting, "Isn't there any justice? Clearly committing adultery! This must be reported to the Great King!"
The mention of reporting to the Great King frightened Leng Jiao. Leng Jiao thought, "Bai Qingsi was just a small Noble Lady, can't I handle this myself?"
So, adopting the domineering demeanor of a Noble Consort, Leng Jiao stepped forward and used his sheep hoof to slap Bai Qingsi's face.
Bai Qingsi, struck on the face, immediately clutched his stomach. "Ah, my stomach hurts!"
Leng Jiao retorted, "Can't you even fake it properly? I slap your face, and your stomach hurts?"
Bai Qingsi smugly declared, "I'm carrying the wolf seed. You, demon consort, are in big trouble!"
Leng Jiao took two steps back, greatly alarmed. "Baa??? You got pregnant with wolf seed in just a few days in the palace? Even injections aren't that fast!"
The palace maids whispered among themselves, and the harem forum exploded with discussions.
The Sheep Noble Consort secretly met Lord Bai Lingling, both caught in an intimate moment. Simultaneously, the newly-entered Wolf Noble Lady was already six months pregnant.
The conclusion: Greening in the Wolf Palace has been done well.
