Chapter 328
As Lin Zaozao was tossed into midair, just when she thought she was about to fall flat on her face, someone caught her.
Frightened out of her wits, Lin Zaozao slowly opened her eyes to see who had caught her.
It was Uncle Zhang.
"Little lass, are you alright?"
Following Uncle Zhang's concerned voice came a series of wails.
"Uncle Zhang, why didn't you catch me? My butt hurts so bad!"
Little Xibei clutched his bottom, crying out in pain.
"Who's on top of me? I'm being crushed!"
Dashan bellowed in agony.
"Dashan, we're getting up now."
Ji Fantian stood up, helping Han Ye off Dashan's body.
Gu Shan stood icily beside Uncle Zhang, exuding a chilly aura.
Yet his eyes, as he looked at Lin Zaozao, were bloodshot.
"Zaozao, why did you try to kill yourself?"
Gu Shan gazed at Lin Zaozao, questioning her pitifully.
"Young Master Gu Shan, I had a moment of weakness and couldn't think straight. I'm sorry for worrying you."
Lin Zaozao looked at Gu Shan apologetically.
"Hmph! You're the future Grand Priest of Han Country, revered by the people as a deity, but at heart, you're just a coward."
The Wolf-born Child, sitting bare-bottomed atop a giant wolf, spoke disdainfully.
"Little brat, isn't it cold riding around naked so early in the morning?"
"Not cold."
The little brat replied haughtily.
"Then aren't you embarrassed?"
"I hardly ever see people anyway, so I'm not embarrassed. Besides, everyone who can see me is male. They have what I have, so what's there to be embarrassed about?"
Lin Zaozao jumped out of Uncle Zhang's arms and walked towards the giant wolf.
"Little brat!"
"Shorty, I'm older than you!"
"But I'm more mature!"
Lin Zaozao tentatively patted the giant wolf beneath the Wolf-born Child's bottom, then looked up at him cautiously.
"Little brat, can you... come home with me?"
Lin Zaozao's words made everyone but Gu Shan furrow their brows.
This Wolf-born Child's curse ability could come true with just a word. If Zaozao brought him back, would they ever have peace again?
"Little Priest, you want to take me back?"
The Wolf-born Child pointed at his own nose, asking incredulously.
"Yes! Come back with me, be my little brother, okay? Don't worry, as long as I'm around, I'll always take care of you."
"Do you know who I am? You want to take me back on a whim. Do you realize that in people's hearts, I'm nothing but a demon who can curse others?"
The Wolf-born Child said coldly.
"Is it just because of your cursing ability? I'm not afraid."
"You're the Little Priest of Han Country, of course you're not scared. But ask the others, aren't they afraid?
Little Priest, apart from that nightmare behind you, I'm the most terrifying monster to people."
Hearing the Wolf-born Child's words, Lin Zaozao turned back to look at Han Ye and the others. At this moment, she was hopeful.
"Zhuzhu, if he's willing, you can bring him back!"
Han Ye said gently.
"Brother!"
"Lord Han Ye!"
Facing everyone's shocked expressions, Han Ye walked up to Lin Zaozao, held her hand, and said earnestly.
"Zhuzhu, after you bring him back, promise me you'll live well. With him to care for, please don't try to take your life again, alright?"
"I..."
"Zhuzhu, promise me, no more suicide attempts. Trust me this once, I will be Han Country's wisest king and ensure your safety for life."
Meeting Han Ye's determined gaze, Lin Zaozao's throat bobbed a few times before she slowly nodded.
"Zhuzhu, live well. No matter how painful it gets, keep living. As long as you're alive, I'll naturally find a way to save you.
I'll let the world know that our Han Country's Grand Priest is not a sacrificial offering, but the person I, Han Ye, care about most."
Han Ye held Lin Zaozao tightly, his voice carrying a barely perceptible choke.
The child in his arms, though smiling, had eyes devoid of any vitality.
Since she wanted to bring back the Wolf-born Child, he hoped that for the sake of this child, she would find the will to live on.
"Little Priest, do you really want to take me back?"
The Wolf-born Child walked up to Lin Zaozao, his golden eyes fixed intently on her.
"Yes, I want to take you back."
"But I'm the Wolf-born Child, every curse I utter comes true?"
"From now on, you're no longer the Wolf-born Child. If you don't mind, let's call you Xi Luo!
'Xi' for hope, 'Luo' for sunset. From sunrise to sunset, you'll have a complete and fulfilling life as a person."
"Xi Luo, my name?"
"That's right! Your name is Xi Luo. Xi Luo, come home with me, be my little brother, okay?
Don't worry, I really have experience taking care of little brothers, I'll protect you well."
Lin Zaozao grasped Xi Luo's hand, asking earnestly.
"But I'm older than you."
"But I'm more mature and steady-minded!"
"You're not as thoughtful as me, but you weigh more."
"No way!"
Lin Zaozao flailed her short legs, saying fiercely.
"Little Priest Zaozao!"
"Call me sister."
"Elder Sister!"
Xi Luo said calmly.
"Yes!"
"Now that you're taking me home, you can't abandon me, and more importantly, you can't leave me, okay?"
"Okay."
"You can also call me Luoluo. I'm quite happy to be that one-and-only little brother in your heart."
"Alright, Luoluo."
Lin Zaozao held Xi Luo's hand, her voice choked.
"Come on, let's not stand here, time to go back!"
Han Ye took Lin Zaozao's hand, about to pick her up when Xi Luo blocked him.
"I'll carry my Elder Sister myself."
"Luoluo, can we put on some clothes before discussing who carries whom? Airing out your bottom like this, it'll be embarrassing if someone sees."
"Elder Sister, is it embarrassing to not wear clothes?"
"Of course it is. I mean, you're not even wearing pants, people will see your...
Never mind the bottom, that tiny bit in front, though hard to notice without looking closely, it's still not good to have exposed."
"Is that so? Easy fix!"
Xi Luo turned around, scanning the group before finally settling his gaze on the smug-looking Little Xibei.
After all, among the circle of people, his clothes were the most magnificent.
"You, take off your clothes!"
"Why should I take off my clothes for you? Big deal you have silver hair!"
Little Xibei adjusted his clothes and said disdainfully.
"What's your name?"
"Han Xibei. What's it to you, you want to curse me or something? Go ahead! As if I'm afraid of you."
"Han Xibei, I curse you now. Within a month, your pants will tear apart as soon as you put them on."
As soon as Xi Luo finished speaking, Han Xibei, who had been looking at Xi Luo in disdain, clearly heard the sound of fabric tearing from his lower body.
Without looking, just from the chilly breeze he could feel, he knew his pants had torn apart.
At this moment, except for the expressionless Gu Shan, everyone else's movements became slow motion.
After taking a glance at Han Xibei's exposed bottom, they slowly turned their heads to look at the triumphant Xi Luo.
Truly befitting the Wolf-born Child feared by all. His little mouth, wow, it's really too powerful.
"Luo Luo..."
Lin Zaozao pounced on Xi Luo, grabbing his arms excitedly and said, "What is it?"
"When I become the Grand Priest, do you want to be my little follower and become the Little Priest of Han Country?"
"With that mouth of yours, one mouth could defeat an entire army. No, it could defeat an entire country."
Lin Zaozao said excitedly.
"Sure! When sister becomes the Grand Priest, you can appoint me as a Little Priest. But this Little Priest will only be the Little Priest for you alone."
"Deal, deal, no problem, my future Little Priest."
"Mm! My future Grand Priest."
Just as Lin Zaozao was holding Xi Luo's hand tenderly, Han Ye's softly laughing voice clearly reached Lin Zaozao's ears.
"Zhu Zhu, the sun is about to rise, we should head back."
"But Han Ye brother, what about not having pants? Does Luo Luo have to walk back with his bare bottom?"
"This..."
Faced with Lin Zaozao's question, Han Ye was momentarily stunned.
A few nights ago, this Wolf-born Child Xi Luo, he didn't know what method he used, but he made everyone, including the dark guards, fall into a deep sleep. Then, unbeknownst to anyone, he somehow took Lin Zaozao away.
It wasn't until the next day at dawn, when Gu Shan was the first to wake up, that he woke the rest of them.
Without giving any reason, he led them across the border of Han Country, straight into the Frontier Region, and up this mountain.
As soon as they arrived at the top of this mountain, they saw a heart-wrenching scene.
Zhu Zhu, that little girl, had recklessly jumped off the cliff. Her resolute manner made it clear that she did not want to live anymore.
If they had not caught her in time, Zhu Zhu would definitely not have survived.
What shocked him the most was the Wolf-born Child Xi Luo. When Zhu Zhu jumped, he actually recklessly jumped down with her, not caring about his own life.
The most shocking thing was that this Wolf-born Child was actually willing to accompany Zhu Zhu back to Han Country.
