Qiao Rong could not help his shock when he saw Shen Haofeng holding a seemingly newborn baby animal.

Three days after he leveled up, the man finally returned to Wen Kingdom. Qiao Rong could understand that it was early in the morning that Shen Haofeng was visiting his pavilion. But not with a baby animal that looks cute like a cat.

It's just bigger and more hairy.

"It's.." Qiao Rong looked puzzled in response to the man's presence.

"For you." Suddenly Shen Haofeng handed the animal slowly into Qiao Rong's embrace.

"Aah?" Qiao Rong was confused. But the animal seemed to be sleeping very quietly in Qiao Rong's arms. Qiao Rong is also an animal lover. But he preferred wild animals like Yu Hao, the Snake of Nirwana. What about the cat?

Shen Haofeng smiled slightly.

"It's not a cat." The man said as if guessing his thoughts.

"Want to?" Qiao Rong asked curiously.

"A baby wolf." Hearing those words, Qiao Rong's eyes widened. What would Emperor Qiao say if he knew he was raising a wolf cub?

To be honest Qiao Rong was delighted to receive a gift from Shen Haofeng. Moreover, the reward was a baby wolf. He himself was also curious and interested in keeping a wolf. This strange taste is what sometimes makes people unable to understand themselves fully. But Shen Haofeng managed to bring him a wild animal.

Qiao Rong stroked the wolf that looked like the baby cat slowly and gently. The color of the fur of the animal is very white, even a little dirt will also be clearly visible.

But what made Qiao Rong even more surprised was the presence of patches of dried blood attached to the fur of the baby wolf. But there were no visible wounds or scars. Therefore Qiao Rong knew that the baby had just been born roughly yesterday.

"He was the youngest of three brothers. Take good care of him. Engagement Gift." After saying so, Shen Haofeng smiled and disappeared from Qiao Rong's sight.

Qiao Rong did not spend any more time, he immediately went inside the room and called out to Chu Yue.

"Chu Yue's! Prepare a small bucket with warm water!" Qiao Rong said loudly. Chu Yue was immediately in a hurry to pick up the bucket and cook the water.

Qiao Rong looked at the new pet in his carrier happily.

Chu Yue came five minutes later, complete with an unsolicited cloth. After that Chu Yue placed the bucket on the floor.

Unexpectedly by him, Qiao Rong suddenly knelt down and began to wash away a baby animal.

"Well, Your Majesty! Is that a cat?" Chu Yue asked curiously. He had never seen a cat that had such white and clean fur. Chu Yue could only be stunned looking at her new pet.

"Emmm.. You could say that, I guess." Replied the confused Qiao Rong answering Chu Yue's question earlier.

After finishing washing and bathing the baby wolf clean from the traces of blood, Qiao Rong shrunk the body of the animal gently using the cloth that Chu Yue had brought.

Suddenly, just as Chu Yue was about to bring the water-filled bucket out, a knock sounded outside the door.

"Lake in." Qiao Rong responded.

The door immediately opened and revealed the figure of Jiang Junwei who immediately lowered his head looking at Qiao Rong.

"Jiang Junwei?" Qiao Rong asked slowly. He had not seen the man for a long time, since fighting the Nirvana Snake together.

"I'm sorry for my leniency this time, Princess." Jiang Junwei bowed his head.

"Ah okay, what's up here?" Qiao Rong asked curiously.

"Ah no, I just want to see the state of the animal." Looking at the wolf baby who was still sound asleep in Qiao Rong's arms, Jiang Junwei heaved a sigh of relief, simultaneously smiling bitterly.

"Of course." Answer Qiao Rong.

"Seeing the baby animal seems to be the same as looking at His Majesty as a child." Jiang Junwei involuntarily slipped. He wanted to curse his mouth, but at the same time was confused to face Qiao Rong's confused face. He had no choice but to tell me everything.

"Ah.. Your Majesty hasn't told you yet?" Jiang Junwei increasingly cursed his fate when he saw Qiao Rong shake his head. What if Shen Haofeng knew that he told Qiao Rong about his past that he hadn't even told himself about?

"Emmm.. That way.. Actually this wolf baby is the third child of the mother. But her two brothers died shortly after birth because her mother's body was too weak. So too with her mother after giving birth to her. You could say this kid's a kara." Jiang Junwei.

"Se-Se-Wolf??!" The surprised Chu Yue was unable to resist her screams. Jiang Junwei swiftly shut the girl's mouth with his hand and told the girl to whisper.

"But Your Majesty.. Wolves aren't they too..?" Chu Yue stared helplessly at Qiao Rong. But Qiao Rong only smiled at the girl who now looked at him in disbelief.

"Then why remind him of the Moon King?" Qiao Rong asked curiously.

Jiang Junwei who had wanted to run away after saying so felt his hope instantly dashed after hearing Qiao Rong's question.

He has no other choice.

"Because His Majesty is too.. The previous Moon King found him in the forest alone when he was a baby. Finally he was taught to cultivate from the moment he could speak. And they only came out of the forest when His Majesty was 13." Jiang Junwei's face was currently not very good.

He is confused to be sad because he remembers his master's bitter childhood or grieves and prepares for the punishment he will soon get.

While Qiao Rong on the other hand could only hold his breath as long as Jiang Junwei spoke.

He did not expect and never expected that there would be a child whose fate was more unfortunate than his.

Abandoned from infancy by his family, taught to cultivate since he could speak, only to come out of the forest at the age of adolescence.

All of those things explained why Shen Haofeng was so cold at the beginning of their meeting. With almost no communication with a human other than his teacher, Qiao Rong was confused as to how the man lived his life for 13 years.

As if his family were killed before his eyes, and had to beg on the streets, those things were not enough compared to Shen Haofeng's suffering. Qiao Rong had not expected to meet anyone cultivating earlier than himself.

"That's why he never eats tenthulu." Qiao Rong could only smile bitterly.

"Eh.. Then excuse me." It was at that moment that Jiang Junwei intended to escape with the Moon Shadow Technique. And he succeeded.

"Your Majesty.." Chu Yue's call awakened Qiao Rong from her daydream. "Your word.." Continue the girl.

Only then did Qiao Rong realize that his tears had already flowed down his cheeks. He felt so sad.

What has the man experienced to the ability to communicate as I did with other humans?

Qiao Rong had once thought that way at the first moment of meeting Shen Haofeng.

But he did not think that what happened was such a thing.

Thirteen years was not a short time at all. Imagining a baby being taken care of by a man alone in the middle of the forest made Qiao Rong shudder.

What has that man experienced?

Qiao Rong could not help his feelings. He placed the wolf baby on the bed, and left it to Chu Yue who was still confused.

And he ran.
