Chapter 151 Our family has to part ways
The child reached out to a wolf cub, wanting to pat its head.

To everyone's surprise, the little wolf didn't even look at him, turned around, and walked away.

Chu Xu pursed his lips and immediately changed his target.

With so many wolves here, there's bound to be one that'll let him pet it.

Stone warned him, "Keep your claws in, or the wolf will bite you."

"I don't think they bite." Chu Xu didn't take it seriously. After trying a few wolf pups without success, he boldly reached out his little paws towards the big wolf.

He almost touched a wolf's fang instead of its head, which scared him so much that he quickly withdrew his hand, his heart pounding in his chest.

Stone couldn't help but laugh at him.

Xiao Huan caught her breath, looked around, and asked worriedly, "What if those people come after us?"

Lu Chengjing said, "It shouldn't be that fast. We can rest for a while longer."

He glanced at Chu Xu, and although his glance showed no emotion, Chu Xu's eyes widened instantly like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"You...you...you promised me you'd protect me, you...you wouldn't be thinking of handing me over, would you?"

"No." Lu Chengjing looked away and looked down at the little dumpling in his arms.

After stopping using her powers, Yuanyuan's complexion recovered somewhat, gradually regaining a rosy hue with her even breathing.

Chu Xu subconsciously moved closer to the stone, seeking a sense of security.

Stone put his arm around his shoulder. "Don't worry, we won't hand you over. Even if we did, those people wouldn't let us go."

Chu Xu was not comforted at all. These people actually wanted to hand him over. Where was their humanity?!
He puffed out his cheeks, but because he had brought the trouble upon himself, he wasn't even as justified in being angry.

After fuming for a while, he muttered under his breath, "If we really can't beat them, just throw me out."

One should take responsibility for one's own actions and bear the consequences of one's own troubles.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Stone patted his head. "Don't be fooled by how arrogant those people are now. When my sister comes back, she'll beat them to a pulp."

Seeing that the child was still listless and lacked energy, Shi Tou said again, "I don't even need my sister. Once I recover, I'll beat them to a pulp."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding wolves suddenly stirred and began to growl in a defiant manner, all facing the same direction.

Two men in black emerged from the leaves like ghosts, their faces covered with black cloths, only their eyes visible, and their gazes were chilling and menacing.

Stone couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath, "How did they get here so fast!"

Upon discovering the presence of five people, one of the men in black took out a bamboo whistle, brought it to his lips, and blew it twice in short bursts, as if summoning his companions.

"A-Nian, come here."

Upon hearing Lu Chengjing call him, Chu Xu immediately walked towards him.

Lu Chengjing handed Yuanyuan to him and told him to carry her back to the middle of the wolf pack.

Chu Xu hesitated for a moment, but Lu Chengjing didn't have time to waste words with him and pushed him towards the wolf pack.

The wolves automatically dispersed, surrounding Chu Xu and Yuan Yuan. The large wolves bared their fangs and growled defiantly at the man in black.

Perhaps wanting to wait for their companions to arrive before making a move, the two men in black stood like statues on the high place, in a stalemate with Lu Chengjing and the others.

The more men in black arrived, the more disadvantageous it would be for Lu Chengjing and his group. As he pondered a strategy, he moved closer to Xiao Huan.

Sensing a threat, the wolf pack, without a alpha wolf to command, began to retreat in an orderly fashion.

"Stone, you take the knife and go with the wolf pack first. Xiao Huan and I will cover the rear."

Lu Chengjing helped Xiao Huan up, and just as he took a step, the black-clad man who had been standing like a statue suddenly moved, his target pointing directly at Chu Xu.

If Chu Xu were injured, Yuan Yuan would also be injured, and the wolf pack became restless. Several large wolves tightly protected the two children in the middle, while the rest of the wolves growled at the man in black, their bodies tense, ready to pounce.

The man in black was not afraid of the wolf pack. His blade flashed, inflicting new wounds on the charging wolves.

Stone wielded a long sword and slashed at the man in black, swinging the sword haphazardly without any strategy. He couldn't harm the man in black at all, and instead, he himself teetered on the brink of death several times.

He had multiple injuries, and if it weren't for the protection of the wolf pack, he would probably have had his throat slit by the man in black by now.

Lu Chengjing and Xiao Huan joined the melee, and under the cover of the wolf pack, they tried their best to fight off the men in black.

Knowing that everyone was trying to protect him, Chu Xu didn't stand there foolishly. With red eyes, he carried Yuan Yuan and ran into the depths of the mountains.

The two men in black did not give chase, because their accomplices had already arrived.

"Who sent you?" Chu Xu ducked to avoid the whip and demanded loudly.

But the man in black had no intention of wasting words with him; his target was obvious—his head.

Chu Xu rolled away to dodge the attack, and at the same time took the opportunity to put Yuan Yuan on the back of a large wolf, patted it, and told it to run away with Yuan Yuan.

But the men in black weren't just after him; they didn't want to let anyone go.

One of the three men in black went to stop the wolf, while the other two approached Chu Xu from the left and right, cutting off his escape route.

Chu Xu felt he was probably really going to die here, but he wanted to die knowing the truth.

He clutched his head and shouted, "Wait, wait! I'm going to die anyway, can't you at least tell me who sent you? Let me die knowing the truth!"

The man in black paused in his attack, and a bright red line of blood spurted from his neck.

A vibrant green leaf, its edges serrated, flew out, stained with blood, and embedded itself deeply in the tree trunk behind it.

Several green leaves fluttered and danced, swiftly and decisively reaping life.

The group of men in black stared wide-eyed as they fell to the ground, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Chu Xu: ?
While Lu Chengjing and the others were still in shock, several corpses of men in black fell from the sky and crashed to the ground with loud thuds.

A figure in green landed lightly, and after seeing the miserable state of everyone, stomped on the corpses under its feet to vent its anger.

They died just like that; it's too easy for these assassins!

"Sister, you're finally here!" Shi Tou ran excitedly towards Shang Wan, tears and snot streaming down his face. "Waaah, we were almost beaten to death by the men in black. If you hadn't come back, our family would have fallen apart!"

Shang Wan reached out and pushed his head away in disgust, "Go cry somewhere else."

Don't even think about wiping your tears and snot on her.

"Sister!" Xiao Huan called out, a smile playing on her lips as if she wanted to give Shang Wan a smile, but before the smile could appear, she collapsed to the ground.

With a swift movement, Shang Wan caught the person before they touched the ground.

After a cursory examination of the injuries, she pried open Xiao Huan's mouth and fed her two drops of spiritual spring water.

At the same time, she tossed a small porcelain bottle each in the direction of Lu Chengjing and Shi Tou, then ignored them and bent down to bandage Xiao Huan to stop the bleeding.

Xiao Huan's injuries were the most severe among the three. She had risked her life and had even shielded Lu Chengjing and Shi Tou from attacks several times. She was covered in blood.

Shang Wan felt heartbroken. If she had come back any later, the silly girl might have lost her life here.

Seeing that all the men in black were dead, Chu Xu quickly picked up Yuan Yuan and ran back.

Although the kid was surrounded and attacked by men in black, he was surprisingly unharmed.

The wolves gradually quieted down, gathered around, and sniffed the corpses of the men in black.
