Chapter 149

Snow Rainbow is a rare sight, and before long, a pack of wolves emerged from the house.

From afar, numerous black dots appeared on the snowy peaks, followed by the echoing howls of wolves.

Shang Xi tightened her coat as she descended from the "cruiser," hand in hand with Gu Wen.

Upon hearing the howls of their kinsfolk, the werewolves returning home also lifted their heads and began to howl.

"Howl, howl, howl!"

"Howl!"

"Howl!"

Shang Xi couldn't understand what they were conversing about, but Gu Wen just smirked lightly.

Shang Xi caught the amusement in his eyes and hurriedly asked, "What's funny? What are they saying?"

Before Gu Wen could respond, Shang Xi saw wolf packs rushing out from the snowy peaks, some in pure human form, some with upright ears and tails, displaying all four forms.

Female werewolves, male werewolves, cubs.

Howls, speech, and footsteps mingled into a cacophony.

"What? Did the Gu family head return with partner and cubs?"

"Howl, howl, I knew there'd be a Snow Rainbow!"

"Look, howl—look, howl—"

"Howl! Howl!"

Shang Xi watched as a large group of werewolves ran towards them, feeling a kind of... awkwardness akin to visiting her boyfriend's hometown for the first time, surrounded by neighbors of all ages.

Unconsciously, she tightened her grip on Gu Wen's hand and straightened her posture.

In a short span, hundreds of werewolves appeared in Shang Xi's sight, of all ages and genders.

However, most of them had youthful faces, with the oldest looking no more than in their sixties in human years.

They stared at Shang Xi while howling at Gu Wen.

"Howl, howl, howl!"

Gu family head, is your partner a pure human?

"Howl, howl, howl! Roar, roar, howl, howl!"

Gu family, did you bring back wife and children?

"Howl, howl, howl, howl, the cub is so cute!"

Some could even speak fluent human Mandarin, murmuring to each other, "This pure human is quite good-looking."

"I've been to the human world, and this pure human is the beautiful kind."

Gu Mother smiled and approached, taking Shang Xi's hand gently, and said, "Don't be afraid, they mean no harm."

Then she turned to the chattering wolf pack and said, "Everyone, this is my second son's partner, Shang Xi, a beautiful and kind human girl."

Shang Xi nodded slightly towards the wolf pack, "Hello, everyone."

Gu Mother held the cub and smiled, "These are their cubs, five years old."

The wolf pack howled, clapped, and cheered.

"Howl, hello, Shang Xi!"

"Howl, howl! Welcome back to Snow Mountain."

"Shang Xi, your name sounds really nice."

"Little cub is home. Howl, howl!"

"This cub is just like his wolf father when he was young, such a good cub."

Shang Xi was initially nervous and embarrassed, but under the kind welcome brought by the wolf pack, she gradually relaxed.

Ahead of the wolf pack, there were also a dozen or so cubs, all pure wolves, with four small paws stepping on the snowy ground, looking colorful and curious, none of them pure-colored, all staring at Baby Shang.

Baby Shang was in human form, being held by his grandmother, with his big eyes, sharp in black and white, also staring at them.

"Little one, do you want to go play with them?" Aunt Gu gently asked, stroking Baby Shang's hair.

Baby Shang scratched his head and turned away, "No."

That's what he said, but as he was being carried away by his grandmother, he turned his head and glanced at the group of cubs.

The cubs looked at Shang Xi, then at each other, their eyes flickering with uncertainty.

Once the Gu family was out of sight,

the cubs suddenly flopped down onto the snow, whispering softly.

"I saw him, he's a pure human, so handsome."

"Yeah... When I grow up, I'm going to find a human wife too."

"Hmph, he said he doesn't want to play with us."

"I heard from Father Wolf that his wolf father is very big, a demon wolf who likes to eat cubs! He gobbles up cubs in one bite."

"I'm not afraid of his wolf father, why won't he play with us?"

As a dozen or so wolf cubs chattered, they got up and followed in the direction of the Gu family.

Shang Xi held onto Gu Wen's arm and descended the snowy slope into the Snowy Peak Forest.

Every snowy peak in the forest was inhabited by wolf packs. Clearly, there was a passage through the snowy peaks, as she saw wolf people poking their heads out from top to bottom, either standing by the fence, staring at them.

As she passed each snowy peak, she saw many giant wolf sculptures carved from ice, translucent.

There were also ice slides made from ice? Two cubs were playing on them.

And there were ice-made trees, when the breeze gently blew, the branches collided, making a crisp and melodious sound.

Just like a tree wind chime.

Shang Xi was about to ask if the ice would melt or break, but... she thought this was a snowy mountain, a timeless snowy mountain, it should be different from the human world.

Snowy mountains, quite beautiful.

"Feeling cold?" Gu Wen said, "We're almost there."

Shang Xi shook her head, "It's alright, it's just like winter in Qingcheng, just need to wear thicker clothes."

But, looking at this stunning ice and snow world, if she hadn't eaten snow crystals, she probably would have collapsed by now...

Finally, they stopped in front of the largest snowy peak.

At the entrance of the snowy peak, stood a woman with long black hair, she looked to be in her fifties, but the aura she exuded was as tranquil as a lake, just standing there, it calmed people's hearts.

Shang Xi was stunned.

Then Aunt Gu called out, "Wolf Mother, we're back."

Gu Wen, holding Shang Xi's hand, took a few steps forward, bowed, and lowered his eyes, "Wolf Ancestor, I've returned with my companion and cubs."

Shang Xi opened her mouth, just about to ask her name, when the woman in front of her smiled and said, "Just call me Grandma according to your human customs."

Shang Xi bowed, "Hello, Grandma." With that, she took out a delicate box from her pocket, "It's my first time meeting you, please accept this token of my appreciation."

The Wolf Ancestor, with her eyes blackened by the trials of time, smiled gently and shook her head, speaking in standard Mandarin, "I've met you before."

She took the gift from Shang Xi, and while he was still stunned, she glanced at Gu Wen.

"When he was a cub, he made friends with a human cub."

"During that time, he would sneak out every day from home with snacks."

"Once, I followed him and saw you."

Shang Xi was truly taken aback, "After so many years, you still remember me?"

The Wolf Ancestor smiled faintly, "I remember every pure human I've met."

Gu Wen didn't know why, but she pressed her lips together.

The Wolf Ancestor remembered Shang Xi, yet he forgot... But back then, it was his choice to forget.

"But..." Shang Xi was shocked, still not understanding, "My appearance has changed a lot, Gu Wen didn't recognize me, how did you..."

The Wolf Ancestor reached out and touched her head, "Child, the memories of werewolf cubs are blurry."

The older they get, the deeper the memories become.

Once they've seen someone, they won't forget.

She waved to Baby Shang, "Come here, little one, let me see you."

Baby Shang pursed his lips, tightened his small hand, and walked over, "Hello, Grandma Wolf."

Then, his hair was ruffled.

"Good boy."

"Come on in, everyone." She held Baby Shang's hand and entered the house.

Only then did Shang Xi see the interior of the snow peak, which turned out to be white walls, like rooms carved out of white stone, one layer after another, towering like a snow peak... How many layers must there be?

Each room on every floor was decorated differently, with simple yet elegant furniture.

Shang Xi had never seen the things hanging on the walls.

Gu Wen led Shang Xi back to his room, and Shang Xi looked out the window, estimating it to be around the twelfth floor.

That floor had two living rooms and three rooms.

In the living room, there were sofas, translucent white stone tables with snowflake patterns carved on them, very beautiful.

On the white stone table, there were wooden carvings of giant wolves, snow stone carvings of giant wolves.

And...

A pink plastic hairband that looked out of place and cheap caught Shang Xi's eye.

Shang Xi was stunned.

Slowly walking over, she reached out and picked it up.

"You actually kept it..."

Gu Wen pursed his lips and admitted, "Lost it a few times."

Shang Xi looked up at him, "But you still picked it up in the end."

Gu Wen said, "Luckily, I did pick it up."

Its owner had also returned.

Gu Wen's eyes darkened, and suddenly he hugged her sideways and walked towards the room.

His deeply loved partner appeared in his territory, making him inexplicably restless and excited.

Shang Xi's face turned red.

"It's still daytime now!!"

"What does it matter." Gu Wen kissed her, his breath heavy, his tail emerging and wrapping around her restless hands.

"Mom, Grandma... They..."

"They won't come up." Gu Wen held her tightly, smiling lowly.

"Shang, I'm very happy."

"The owner of the hairband has returned, the person I couldn't find after running around so many places in the past, has returned."

With a kiss, Shang Xi's eyes became misty.

Newlyweds, tinder and fire, on the verge of ignition.

The room was filled with ambiguity. 𝔣𝖗𝔢𝔢𝔴𝖊𝖇𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖊𝔩.𝔠𝔬𝖒

Downstairs.

At the entrance, Baby Shang stood in the snow, watching a group of colorful cubs hiding behind the snow peak.

Furrowing her little brows, Baby Shang strode forward with her short legs. The group of wolf cubs continued to murmur amongst themselves.

"His mother is a pure human, so he shouldn't be much of a threat to us, right?"

"Is he pure white? Let's turn him into a pure wolf to see. Pure colors are so beautiful."

"Wait and see, he's new here, he'll get bored and come to us to make friends."

"Just because their family is powerful, so what?"

"We're not going to be friends with just anyone."

"Hmph, exactly."

"What are you guys talking about?" A young voice sounded, tinged with a hint of coldness.

The wolf cubs, gathered in a circle, froze for a moment, then their eyes lit up with excitement as they approached, fawning over her: "Wow! You really came out?"

"Are you pure white? You must look so pretty, right?"

"Play with us, okay?"

"I'm six years old, how old are you?"

Baby Shang: "..."

These guys, they really have two faces, huh?
