Yun Wu entered Xue Yunxue's room with quiet steps.
The door closed softly behind him.
The wolf man's expression looked slightly gloomy—the shadow of the conversation in the dining room still lingered in his eyes.
He said nothing.
With calm movements, Yun Wu took a thin sleeping mat and a thick blanket from the cabinet in the corner of the room. He spread them out on the floor not far from Yunxue's bed.
Then he lay down there.
His gaze was directed straight at the ceiling.
But his eyes were empty—as if his thoughts were far away.
A moment later—
the faint rustling sound on the floor caused someone on the bed to stir.
Xue Yunxue slowly opened her eyes.
The bedroom lamp was dim, casting soft shadows across her face.
She turned her head.
"Yun Wu?"
Her voice was slightly hoarse from just waking up.
Yun Wu glanced toward the bed.
"Mm."
"Did I wake you?"
"It's alright," Yunxue replied softly.
She sat up slightly, leaning against the headboard.
Her eyes looked at Yun Wu on the floor with quiet attention.
"Actually… there's something I want to ask."
Yun Wu did not move.
His gaze was still fixed on the ceiling.
"Go ahead."
His voice sounded flat.
Xue Yunxue was silent for a few seconds.
That question had been circling in her mind since the afternoon.
Finally, she asked it directly.
"Is Xuxu your lover?"
Yun Wu immediately turned his head.
For the first time since entering the room, his expression truly changed.
Slightly surprised.
For several seconds he simply stared at Yunxue.
Then he let out a quiet sigh.
"No."
His answer was short.
But after that he fell silent for a moment, as if recalling something from a very distant past.
"I lived with her in the slums for many years," he finally said.
His voice was softer now.
"In that place… life wasn't easy."
Yun Wu's gaze returned to the ceiling.
"Back then, Xuxu was just a weak little girl."
"Her body was small. Thin."
"The older kids often bullied her."
A faint glimmer appeared in Yun Wu's eyes as he remembered those days.
"Out of pity… I always defended her."
The corner of his lips moved slightly.
"I was pretty good at fighting even as a child."
"So I could beat up every kid who tried to bully her."
He paused for a moment.
"Since then… she followed me wherever I went."
The room fell quiet.
Xue Yunxue did not interrupt.
She simply listened.
Yun Wu continued his story.
"A few years later… someone noticed my potential."
"One of the soldiers from the rebel army."
"I was still young at the time. I knew nothing about the world."
A faint smile appeared—bitter and barely visible.
"When someone finally told me that I had talent…"
"…for the first time in my life, I felt that someone valued me."
"I accepted the offer without thinking."
Yun Wu's gaze deepened slightly.
"And Xuxu…"
"…she followed me there."
After hearing the story, Xue Yunxue fell silent for a moment.
Her gaze lowered slowly, as if weighing something in her mind.
The bedroom lamp cast a gentle warm glow, making the night feel peaceful—yet inside Yunxue's heart a small uneasiness began to rise.
"Do you feel guilty for leaving her in the rebels' fortress?" Yunxue finally asked.
Her voice was soft, but the question went straight to the point.
Yun Wu did not answer immediately.
He continued lying on the floor, staring at the empty ceiling.
Several seconds passed before he finally spoke.
"Yes."
The answer was simple.
But heavy.
"When I decided to defect from the rebel army…" he continued quietly,
"they detained Xuxu."
Yun Wu's gaze darkened.
"They demanded fifteen billion chakra coins as ransom."
He exhaled slowly.
"So I started gathering money."
His tone was flat, as if it were a simple decision.
But Yunxue knew it was not easy.
"I wanted to free her," Yun Wu continued.
"After that… she could choose her own future."
"She wouldn't need to stay tied to me anymore."
Xue Yunxue looked at Yun Wu in silence.
Her gaze was meaningful.
She had never expected that this wolf—who always appeared stingy, rough, ruthless, and fearless of death—actually had a side like this.
A side that was quietly loyal and responsible.
Yun Wu continued in a lower voice.
"I was afraid they might hurt her."
"That's why, over the past year… I worked without rest."
He gave a faint smile.
A bitter one.
"In the end, I finally gathered enough money to redeem her."
"Even though the outcome… was not what I expected."
Those words made Yunxue's chest tighten slightly.
She remembered something.
Something she had seen with her own eyes on Noctar's aircraft.
That girl named Xuxu…
Her body had been almost naked. Her attitude seductive. And the way Noctar spoke about her—like she belonged to him.
It almost seemed as if Xuxu and Noctar had a relationship closer to that of lovers.
Xue Yunxue gently bit her lower lip.
She truly hesitated.
Should she tell him the truth?
Should she tell Yun Wu that the girl he wanted to save had already become Noctar's woman?
Several seconds passed.
But in the end, Yunxue chose to remain silent.
She couldn't bring herself to say it.
Slowly, Xue Yunxue lay back down on the bed.
She pulled the blanket up to cover herself.
Her eyes stared at the same ceiling as Yun Wu.
"I think you don't need to worry too much," she said softly.
"Xuxu must be doing fine there."
Even to her own ears, the words sounded hollow.
Yun Wu did not reply immediately.
He remained silent.
His gaze still fixed on the ceiling.
No one knew what he was thinking.
After a while, Yunxue closed her eyes.
"Good night," she said softly.
Her voice almost faded into the quiet of the night.
But Yun Wu still heard it.
A few seconds later, the wolf man finally answered in a low voice.
"…Good night."
--------------------------------------
That morning, the atmosphere in their residence felt much calmer than usual.
The sky was clear. Sunlight fell gently across the wide front yard.
Today was Yun Wu's turn to stay home and guard Xue Yunxue.
Meanwhile, Luo Shixin, Lu Xiao, and Lin Yuan had gone to help with the construction of the city wall.
Lin Yuan had actually objected strongly from the very beginning. In his view, work like that was completely beneath a noble merman like himself.
But the decision had already been made.
Four against one.
He had no choice.
So with a sour expression, he still went along with the others.
In the yard, Moa was there as well.
But this time, he was not in his human form.
The little tree had returned to his original shape—a small golden-leafed tree growing quietly in the corner of the yard.
Its leaves shimmered softly in the morning breeze.
Using his power, Moa slowly purified the soil around their residence. Calm natural energy flowed gently through the air, making the yard feel much more vibrant.
Meanwhile, Xue Yunxue sat comfortably in a rattan chair on the front porch.
In her hand was a cup of warm tea.
She seemed to be enjoying the quiet morning.
But that peace did not last long.
Suddenly—
hurried footsteps sounded from the front gate.
A city soldier ran into the courtyard, breathing slightly heavily.
He stopped a few steps away from Yun Wu and quickly saluted.
Yun Wu, who had been standing near the fence, turned toward him.
As soon as the soldier saw him, he straightened even more respectfully.
"Captain Yun Wu."
"Someone is looking for you."
Yun Wu frowned.
"Who?"
"He is waiting at the city gate right now," the soldier continued.
"He wishes to enter the city to meet you."
"But we cannot allow him inside."
The soldier lowered his head slightly.
"That person does not have official identification."
Yun Wu's frown deepened.
"Who is looking for me?"
The soldier answered without hesitation.
"A girl."
"She said her name is Xuxu."
Yun Wu's eyes widened immediately.
On the porch, Xue Yunxue—who had been drinking tea—almost choked.
Her cup froze in midair.
Xuxu?
How was that possible?
Wasn't that girl supposed to be in the rebel fortress?
How did she end up here…? Yunxue wondered quietly in her heart.
Meanwhile, Yun Wu had already turned toward her.
His expression looked slightly uneasy.
"Xue'er…"
He hesitated for a moment before continuing.
"May I go for a while to confirm it?"
Today it was his duty to guard Yunxue.
He truly did not want to leave her alone.
But—
the name he had just heard made his heart pound.
He had to see it for himself.
Was Xuxu really here looking for him?
Xue Yunxue looked at Yun Wu for several seconds.
She knew the wolf would never feel at ease if he did not go.
Finally, Yunxue nodded softly.
"Go."
"Nothing will happen here."
Hearing that, Yun Wu moved immediately.
He walked quickly into the front yard and activated his anti-gravity vehicle.
The machine hummed with a low vibration.
A few seconds later—
the vehicle roared softly and hovered several centimeters above the ground.
Without wasting another moment, Yun Wu jumped into the seat.
In the next instant—
the vehicle shot out of the courtyard at high speed, leaving a gust of wind that rustled the leaves in the yard.
Xue Yunxue watched the direction Yun Wu had gone.
The tea in her hand had grown slightly cold.
For some reason—
an uneasy feeling slowly began to rise in her heart.
---------------------------------------------
Yun Wu followed the soldier who led him with quick steps.
The stone corridors near the city gate felt cold and quiet. Only the sound of their footsteps echoed through the long passage.
Not long after, they arrived at a temporary isolation room—a place where visitors without identification were usually held before further inspection.
The iron door opened.
Yun Wu stepped inside.
And in that room—
he saw a face he knew very well.
A young woman stood there. Her long black hair fell over her shoulders. Her face was gentle, though now it looked more mature than Yun Wu remembered. Her body was no longer as thin as it once had been.
Four years had passed since the last time they met.
Yet Yun Wu recognized her instantly.
"Xuxu…"
The name left Yun Wu's lips almost like a whisper.
The girl's eyes widened immediately.
"Brother Yun Wu…!"
In the next second, Xuxu ran toward him.
She crashed straight into his chest and hugged him tightly.
Her body trembled slightly.
Yun Wu froze for a moment.
His hands lifted… but in the end, they only rested lightly on her shoulders.
He did not return the embrace.
"How did you get out of there?" Yun Wu asked quietly.
Xuxu raised her head. Her eyes were slightly red.
"Do you know how afraid I was there?" she said with a trembling voice.
"I thought… you really abandoned me alone in that fortress."
Yun Wu did not answer immediately.
His expression grew complicated.
Meanwhile, the soldier who had brought him here gave a small salute before quietly leaving the room, closing the door behind him.
Now only the two of them remained.
Outside the room, however, several guards were still standing not far from the door.
Their voices drifted faintly through the corridor.
"Captain Yun Wu…"
one soldier muttered softly.
"I thought he was someone extremely loyal to his partner."
He shook his head.
"I didn't expect he actually has another woman outside."
"I heard the wolf clan is extremely loyal to their mates. Looks like that rumor was exaggerated."
Another soldier chuckled.
"Captain Yun is very handsome."
"It's normal for many girls to want him."
A third guard spoke with a hint of envy.
"What a pity…"
"Captain Yun's current partner is incredibly beautiful."
"If she wanted another husband… honestly, I wouldn't mind."
Several soldiers laughed quietly.
"Keep dreaming."
"All of her husbands are top-class men."
"She'll never even glance at you."
"True," another one said.
"Besides, even Princess Bail Ling—the City Lord's daughter—likes Captain Yun very much."
Another guard slowly glanced toward the isolation room.
Then he whispered curiously.
"By the way…"
"If the City Lord's daughter finds out Captain Yun has another woman…"
He grinned.
"Won't she be furious?"
What those soldiers outside did not know—
was that every word they spoke was perfectly clear to Yun Wu's sharp ears.
The hearing of a wolf beastman was far too sensitive to miss even the faintest whisper.
The soldiers' murmurs.
Their quiet laughter.
Their careless teasing.
Every word entered his ears without missing a single one.
Yun Wu's brows slowly furrowed.
But he did not look toward the door.
His attention returned to the girl standing in front of him.
"Xuxu," he finally said.
His voice was low, but calm.
"You are free now."
Xuxu lifted her gaze slightly.
"I will arrange a new identity for you in this city," Yun Wu continued.
"After that… you can choose your own path in life."
He paused for a moment.
Then added in a quieter tone,
"You don't need to stay tied to me anymore."
"Being near me will only bring you harm."
Those words made Xuxu's eyes instantly fill with tears.
She suddenly looked even more fragile.
"Do… do you not want me, Brother Yun?" she asked, her voice trembling.
Tears slowly rolled down her pale cheeks.
"Do you know… what I experienced in that fortress after you left?"
She bit her lip.
As if holding back something too painful to say.
"I only want… to be with you."
Xuxu lowered her head.
Tears fell one after another onto the floor.
Anyone who saw that scene would certainly feel pity for her.
After a few seconds, she spoke again, her voice weaker.
"Brother Yun… now I'm free."
"Will you become my mate… like before?"
Yun Wu fell silent.
Like before?
But to Yun Wu—
that "before" the girl spoke of had never existed.
From the beginning, he had only seen Xuxu as a younger sister who needed protection.
He had never thought of anything else.
Yun Wu's gaze deepened slightly.
"Xuxu," he said quietly.
"There is something I must tell you."
Xuxu raised her face.
A faint hope appeared in her eyes.
But Yun Wu's next words shattered it instantly.
"I already have a partner."
The room suddenly felt even quieter.
"I think… you and I were never meant to be together."
Yun Wu's tone remained calm.
Not cold.
But leaving no room for hope.
As a beastman from the wolf clan, he could only be loyal to one partner in his life.
And now—
that partner was Xue Yunxue.
Even though he did not yet have deep romantic feelings for her, Yun Wu still respected that bond.
He would not betray it.
In front of him, Xuxu's face turned pale.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
Hadn't this man spent a whole year gathering money to redeem her?
Didn't that mean he loved her?
Then why—
did he already have another partner?
"Brother Yun…"
Xuxu's voice trembled.
Tears flowed even faster.
"I'm sorry…"
She stepped back.
"I should have just died in that fortress."
"I shouldn't have come here and disturbed your life again."
After saying that, Xuxu turned and ran toward the door.
But—
clack!
Her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Yun Wu.
His grip was firm.
"Don't say something so foolish!"
----------------------------------------------
Yun Wu's voice sounded much firmer than before.
The tone made Xuxu freeze for a moment.
But only for a moment.
In the next second—
her eyes lit up brightly.
Inside her heart, she felt a wave of relief.
He still cares about me.
If he didn't care, Yun Wu would never have stopped her just now.
Which meant…
as long as she continued acting gentle, fragile, and pitiful—
the wolf man would surely return to her side just like before.
Xuxu lowered her head slightly, hiding the sly glimmer that had flashed across her eyes.
But behind that seemingly fragile appearance, her mind was working quickly.
She wanted to know.
Which woman had managed to become Yun Wu's partner now?
That woman had to disappear.
No one else in this world had the right to have Yun Wu.
Especially after seeing him again today.
When she first met Yun Wu after four years—
Xuxu had truly been shocked.
The wolf man was completely different from the one in her memories.
His body was taller.
His shoulders broader.
The aura of power around him was far deeper.
Even the soldiers standing nearby treated him with respect.
So Yun Wu has become someone important now…
The thought made Xuxu's heart beat faster.
If this man truly possessed such power and status now—
then she absolutely could not miss this opportunity.
Yun Wu can only belong to me.
She slowly raised her face again.
Tears gathered once more in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Brother Yun…" her voice was soft and trembling.
"I… I'm truly alone now."
"You're the only person I have."
She nervously clutched the hem of her clothes, as if trying to hold back her tears.
"As soon as I became free… I came looking for you."
"I didn't know you already had a partner…"
Her voice sounded so weak and sorrowful that anyone hearing it would feel sympathy.
Yun Wu looked at her silently.
His expression did not change much.
But there was still a trace of pity in his eyes that he could not completely hide.
Finally, he spoke calmly.
"I will arrange a place for you to stay."
Xuxu immediately raised her head.
"Come with me."
The words were simple.
Yet they were enough to make Xuxu's eyes shine brightly.
Does that mean…
he's going to let me live with him again?
That hope instantly grew inside her heart.
---------
After completing the paperwork for Xuxu's new identity at the city administration office, Yun Wu brought her to a house on the outskirts of the district.
The house was not small.
The building looked neat and newly renovated.
It was Yun Wu's old residence—the place he used to live before moving into Xue Yunxue's home.
The house had already been repaired and refurbished.
However, since moving away, Yun Wu had never returned to live there.
He opened the door and gestured for Xuxu to enter.
The interior was spotless.
New furniture had already been arranged neatly throughout the room.
"This will be your residence from now on," Yun Wu said calmly.
"Get some rest."
He walked over to the table and placed a brand-new chakra computer on top of it.
"If you encounter any difficulties… contact me through this."
Xuxu stood in the middle of the room.
Her eyes slowly wandered around, evaluating every corner of the house.
But before she could say anything—
Yun Wu had already turned around.
"I have to leave now."
His tone returned to its usual calm indifference.
"There is something I need to take care of."
However, before he could step outside—
Xuxu suddenly grabbed the sleeve of his clothes.
"Brother Yun…"
Her voice trembled slightly.
"Are you going to leave me here alone?"
She lowered her head.
"I… I'm very afraid of staying alone in a place like this."
Her expression looked genuinely anxious.
Fragile.
Yun Wu frowned.
"You don't need to be afraid."
"This house is protected by an energy barrier."
"No outsiders can enter without permission."
He gently removed Xuxu's hand from his sleeve.
"You'll be safe here."
Without waiting for her response, Yun Wu turned and walked out of the house.
The door closed behind him.
Yun Wu quickly headed toward his vehicle.
He had already been away from home for quite some time.
And for some reason—
a faint uneasiness stirred inside him.
Xue Yunxue was still at their residence.
And over there, only Moa remained—
a small tree that, in Yun Wu's eyes, was far too weak to protect anyone.
-----------------
Xue Yunxue was still sitting in the front yard.
Her cup of tea had long since gone cold.
It had already been almost four hours since Yun Wu left the house.
The midday breeze blew gently, rustling the leaves in the yard, but Yunxue had no mood to enjoy the quiet.
Slowly, her brows furrowed.
Four hours…
Did that wolf man truly miss the girl named Xuxu that much?
Yunxue bit her lower lip slightly.
Yun Wu had always been cold.
Calm.
Almost like a stone.
Ever since he became her partner, the wolf man had never shown any particular interest in her.
Sometimes Yunxue had even wondered—
Does this man have some kind of sexual disorder?
But now?
He had gone out just to meet a girl—
and disappeared for hours.
Just as Yunxue's thoughts continued to wander—
the courtyard gate suddenly opened.
Yun Wu walked in.
The moment his eyes saw Xue Yunxue still sitting calmly in the yard, Yun Wu's chest immediately relaxed.
He hadn't even realized until that moment that he had been holding his breath.
Leaving that girl alone—even for a short while—
now felt like an extremely careless decision.
"You've already met that girl?" Yunxue asked without turning around.
"Yes…"
Yun Wu's answer was short.
For some reason—
at this moment he felt like someone who had just been caught cheating.
That strange feeling made him slightly uncomfortable.
Xue Yunxue only nodded lightly.
She said nothing more.
Without any expression, Yunxue stood up from her chair and walked into the house toward her room.
Yun Wu remained standing in the courtyard for several seconds.
His gaze followed Yunxue's back as it disappeared behind the door.
Something felt…
strange.
But he didn't know what it was.
-------
Toward evening, the other three beast husbands finally returned from the outskirts of the city.
Their bodies still carried the scent of dust and stone from the city wall construction site.
But the moment they stepped into the house—
the warm aroma of food greeted them immediately.
In the dining room, Xue Yunxue had already prepared several dishes.
On the table were bowls of steaming white rice, dumplings, and several meat dishes.
On the hill behind the house, Yunxue had recently succeeded in planting rice and wheat with Moa's help.
And the harvest had been quite abundant.
The four beast husbands sat around the table.
Even Moa joined them in his human form—a beautiful young boy with golden hair and green eyes.
Lin Yuan looked at the bowl in front of him with curiosity.
He picked up a few white grains with his chopsticks.
"You planted something new?"
He raised an eyebrow.
"Can these white grains be eaten?"
Xue Yunxue smiled faintly.
"Yes. It's called rice."
"It's very nutritious and good for digestion."
Luo Shixin took a small portion of rice.
He tasted it slowly.
The flavor was a bit plain.
But when eaten together with a piece of meat—
the taste immediately changed.
Softer.
Richer.
"This is delicious," Luo Shixin said at last.
Lu Xiao looked at Yunxue with curiosity.
"How did you manage to grow rice in a place like this?" he asked.
Since reincarnating into this world, he had never seen rice being cultivated here before.
Moa lifted his chin proudly.
"That's because of me."
He crossed his arms.
"I carry a large number of plant DNA samples within my body."
"As long as I have the DNA, I can help Xue Yunxue grow any plant on this planet."
But just as they were eating—
knock knock knock
Someone knocked on the door.
Moa's movement immediately stopped.
In a single second, his body transformed into a small golden root that wrapped around Xue Yunxue's wrist.
From the outside, it only looked like a unique root bracelet.
Yun Wu suddenly sniffed the air.
The scent was extremely familiar.
He immediately stood up.
"Excuse me…"
"I think I know who it is."
Yun Wu walked to the door and opened it.
The moment the door opened—
a girl suddenly rushed inside and hugged him tightly.
"Brother Yun…!"
Her body trembled.
"I was so scared being there alone."
"There were many men outside watching me…"
"I… I was really afraid."
It was Xuxu.
Yun Wu immediately tried to push her back a little.
He attempted to create some distance.
But Xuxu seemed unwilling to release him.
At the dining table, Lin Yuan rested his chin on his hand.
His voice sounded almost like a whisper.
"I think…"
"someone has a lover outside."
Luo Shixin watched the scene with cold eyes.
"I thought Yun Wu was an honorable man who wasn't interested in women."
He calmly picked up his chopsticks again.
"Turns out he enjoys playing with a certain type of woman."
Lu Xiao said nothing.
He simply observed with cold red eyes.
Meanwhile—
Xue Yunxue watched the scene at the door.
Her hand nearly snapped the chopsticks she was holding.
But she quickly restrained herself.
Her expression changed in an instant.
Calm.
Neutral.
As if nothing had happened.
Of course Yunxue knew who that girl was.
It was Xuxu.
The same girl she had last seen through a video call with Noctar—wearing clothes that barely covered her body.
That subtle change in Yunxue's expression—
did not escape someone's notice.
Lu Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly.
The gaze in his red pupils gradually darkened.
Xuxu finally realized something.
Behind Yun Wu—
several other people were watching them.
She immediately released her embrace in a slightly hurried manner.
Her face flushed red as if she had just realized the embarrassing situation.
"I'm sorry, Brother Yun…" she said softly.
"I didn't know there were other people here."
Her voice sounded gentle.
A little nervous.
As if she truly felt embarrassed.
But behind her lowered eyelids—
Xuxu's gaze quickly swept across the room.
She glanced toward the dining table.
There, a girl sat calmly, surrounded by three extremely handsome men whose auras were clearly extraordinary.
They were having dinner.
But ever since Xuxu entered—
a thin silence had begun to creep across the table.
Xuxu's gaze finally stopped on the girl sitting among them.
Xue Yunxue.
Her expression changed instantly.
Only for a moment.
But long enough to reveal a cold glint deep in her eyes.
She observed Yunxue from head to toe.
Assessing.
Comparing.
And with just that one glance—
Xuxu immediately understood something.
Compared to herself…
Yunxue clearly held the advantage.
Her skin was bright and flawless.
Her face soft yet carrying a natural elegance that was difficult to describe.
Especially those eyes.
Almond-shaped, slightly lifted at the corners—sharp yet beautiful.
As if they contained a mysterious light that was impossible to ignore.
Her nose was delicate and high.
Her lips naturally red, full like ripe plums.
Without needing excessive makeup—
Yunxue was already stunning.
Xuxu felt an unpleasant emotion rising in her chest.
Jealousy.
It came so suddenly that she almost lost control.
The only thing they shared—
was their equally beautiful long black hair.
Yet even in that—
Yunxue's hair looked softer and more radiant under the light.
Xuxu formed a faint smile.
From the outside, it appeared polite.
But in her heart—
a cold thought slowly took shape.
So… this is the woman who became Yun Wu's partner.
Xue Yunxue also observed the girl.
But unlike Xuxu, who openly assessed her—
Yunxue only glanced at her from the corner of her eye while calmly sitting at the table.
Her movement was so natural that it was almost impossible to notice.
Within just a few seconds, she had already finished evaluating the girl standing at the door.
Xuxu…
That girl was indeed beautiful.
Her face was gentle, her body slender yet well-shaped, and her demeanor appeared sweet and fragile.
If someone saw her for the first time—
they would certainly feel pity and want to protect her.
But to Xue Yunxue…
the scene felt extremely familiar.
Very… cliché.
This girl was exactly like the scheming antagonists from the many dramas Yunxue used to watch in her previous life.
The type of woman who looked weak.
Soft.
Pitiful.
But secretly calculating.
Yunxue had seen far too many characters like that on screen.
She could almost predict the next plot already.
Xue Yunxue's lips curved slightly.
A smile so faint it was almost invisible.
Ah… this type.
I've seen it too many times.
She picked up a dumpling with her chopsticks and ate it calmly.
Inside, she felt a bit amused.
It seemed that all those dramas and movies she watched in her previous life—
had not been a waste.
The knowledge from the entertainment world was actually quite useful now.
At the very least—
the girl standing at the door would not be able to fool her.
However, she was worried that that foolish wolf might easily fall into this girl's trap.
And as his partner—
she would not allow that to happen.
