"I, of course, prefer riding on your shoulders!"

Jiang Xinying couldn't help but roll her eyes and complained, "Why do you even ask such a stupid question?"

However, the moment Jiang Xinying began to speak, she realized something was off.

As she saw Zhu Bufan grinning mischievously at her, Jiang Xinying completely understood and immediately said with a flush of embarrassment on her pretty face: "Jerk, how could you make such a disgusting joke with me!"

"Not at all! It's your own thoughts that are impure, okay?"

Zhu Bufan shrugged, saying.

"You're the one who is impure!"

Jiang Xinying gave him a sidelong glance and then said very dominantly, "Remember this, from now on you are my exclusive mount, and you are not allowed to be ridden by anyone else, got it?"

"How have I become your exclusive? I didn't sell myself to you!"

Zhu Bufan countered with a smile, "How about this, if you agree to be my wife, then I can be your exclusive mount, and later you can ride me however you wish, in any way you want!"

"Hmph! I don't care, from now on you're my exclusive mount! And if I catch you flirting with other girls, beware for your life!"

Jiang Xinying clenched her fists and powerfully pounded Zhu Bufan's shoulder.

"What about Kexin?"

Zhu Bufan asked.

"Of course Kexin can ride, she's my best sister!"

Jiang Xinying nodded.

Unconsciously, the two had walked several hundred meters forward.

Looking from under the night sky, the sight of a man and a woman on the road, with the man carrying the woman on his back, seemed exceptionally romantic.

The terrain here was suburban, far from the city center. Going back from here required passing through a dense Zhu forested mountain road.

Jiang Xinying had always been in the bustling city and had almost never been beyond the city center, let alone to such suburban areas.

Slightly lifting her beautiful eyes towards the starry sky, Jiang Xinying found the night sky here to be exceptionally beautiful, especially the few twinkling stars under that sky, utterly enchanting.

And that half-moon hung high in the night sky, illuminating the path ahead for the two of them.

At this moment, Jiang Xinying felt for the first time that the night sky was so beautiful.

So beautiful! Absolutely magnificent!

Compared to the city center, the nights here were extraordinarily quiet, without the hustle and bustle of traffic, without noise, without the glare of lights, very serene and beautiful.

In the city center, one could hardly see the moon and stars, every day was filled with glitz and glamor, with no chance to appreciate such touching nightscapes.

"Ao..."

Just then, a strange and terrifying howl echoed around.

When Jiang Xinying heard this horrifying sound, she quickly buried her head into Zhu Bufan's shoulder.

For some reason, Jiang Xinying felt that Zhu Bufan's shoulder was very safe and warm at that moment.

Hearing this eerie howl, Zhu Bufan's eyebrows furrowed slightly; the sound resembled that of a ferocious animal.

Being in the suburbs and close to dense Zhu forests, it wouldn't be surprising if such ferocious animals were around.

Zhu Bufan's gaze became vigilant.

"Huff..."

The slightly rapid breathing of Jiang Xinying on his shoulder reached Zhu Bufan's neck, and immediately, Zhu Bufan felt a warm fragrant breath wash over him.

Zhu Bufan knew that Jiang Xinying was a bit nervous.

But when this very fragrant scent assailed his nostrils, it left Zhu Bufan somewhat distracted and itchy, stirring a kind of criminal impulse, especially in a place so isolated with only a man and a woman.

However, now was not the time to think about that sort of thing. Zhu Bufan's gaze was sharp like a knife, scanning his surroundings as he comforted her, "Don't be scared, it's nothing..."

"Really? But that sound, it feels so terrifying to me!"

Jiang Xinying's delicate hand clutched Zhu Bufan's neck a little tighter, her pretty face showing some fear.

"Awoo!"

Just at that moment, a bizarre howling sound arose again, but this time it was clearer and closer.

When Jiang Xinying heard this sound again, she couldn't help but feel even more terrified.

"Don't be afraid! I'm here! Stay quiet for now!"

Zhu Bufan spoke to Jiang Xinying very calmly.

Once Jiang Xinying quieted down, Zhu Bufan's ears twitched slightly as he listened carefully to the surroundings.

His eyes, like stars in the night sky, swept around him warily, cautiously observing his surroundings.

"Zhu Bufan, what is making that noise?"

Jiang Xinying buried her head in Zhu Bufan's shoulder, asking with a hint of worry.

"A pack of wild wolves!"

It wasn't that Zhu Bufan was trying to frighten Jiang Xinying; these wild wolves were indeed fierce and terrifying.

"Ah! Are they very scary?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinying instantly grew tense, her beautiful eyes filled with fear, gripping Zhu Bufan's shoulders tightly, as if afraid of falling off.

"There's nothing scary about it. Having a great beauty like you with me makes even death worthwhile!"

Zhu Bufan chuckled mischievously, using humor to ease the overly tense atmosphere.

Hearing Zhu Bufan speak this way, Jiang Xinying felt like crying without tears and said, "Bastard, I don't want to be eaten by these wolves! That would be such an unworthy death!"

Then Jiang Xinying clenched her fist and punched hard into Zhu Bufan's shoulder, "Listen here, jerk, if I get eaten by wild wolves, I'll become a fierce ghost, and I'll come for you first!"

"Ha ha! If that's the case, then it's perfect! Come find me every night, and I won't be lonely at all!"

Zhu Bufan burst into laughter, but his gaze suddenly became intense at that moment.

Whether it was people or wild wolves, Zhu Bufan absolutely wouldn't show mercy to anything that threatened those by his side.

Looking around, Zhu Bufan didn't find any suitable weapon.

Jiang Xinying had sprained her ankle, and indeed, it would be too disadvantageous to be without a weapon.

Bang!

Zhu Bufan went straight to the trunk of a big tree and punched straight into it.

He took the broken tree trunk as a makeshift weapon in hand.

Just moments before, Zhu Bufan had deduced from the sounds that there were quite a number of wild wolves.

Thinking of this, Zhu Bufan's eyes became cold and filled with deadly intent.

He had just left the tiger's den only to enter a pack of wolves, which annoyed Zhu Bufan greatly.

His own fighting skills and speed were very powerful, but it was night, too dark, and he was carrying Jiang Xinying. If the group of wild wolves were to launch a collective attack, it would indeed be dangerous.

However, not a hint of fear showed on Zhu Bufan's face.

Even if he were gravely injured, he would not abandon Jiang Xinying.

As Zhu Bufan held the tree trunk in his hand, the howling of the surrounding wolves became clearer. Glancing around, Zhu Bufan noticed a pair of terrifying green eyes not far away, glaring menacingly as they closed in.
