Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

Chapter 164 Shadow Mountain Wolf King

Just as Feng Qingyue's thoughts were in a tizzy, a low sound of footsteps gradually approached, and a huge shadow vaguely appeared in the grass.

The wolf king's figure slowly emerged, its eyes flashing with a cold golden light, as if it could penetrate all disguises and concealments.

"It's coming!" Feng Qingyue whispered almost instinctively, her eyes fixed on the pair of golden pupils, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her whole body tensed.

Jun Lingyuan seemed unusually calm. He tilted his head slightly, his eyes deep, and spoke calmly, "Don't panic. It doesn't seem to be planning to attack."

Feng Qingyue took a deep breath and tried to stay calm, but her eyes never left the Wolf King.

The wolf king was huge in size and exuded an aura of oppression that could not be ignored.

But it did not attack at this time. Instead, it stopped and looked at her quietly.

Suddenly, the wolf king lowered his head, and the tip of his nose gently touched Feng Qingyue's breath, as if he was sniffing her scent.

Its movements were unusually gentle, yet the powerful force contained within them was chilling.

Feng Qingyue was stunned for a moment and took a step back warily: "What is it doing?" she asked in a low voice with a puzzled tone.

Jun Lingyuan frowned slightly and replied in a deep voice, "It's sensing your scent. The Wolf King's intuition is extremely sharp. It can sniff out different scents and even recognize familiar ones."

Feng Qingyue's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Jun Lingyuan stared at the wolf king's movements, a trace of deep thought flashing in his eyes: "It seems to smell something familiar."

He paused, his voice low, "The wolf king's reactions are often unpredictable. He doesn't make judgments based solely on threats."

Feng Qingyue frowned, her heart filled with doubts. The Wolf King's reaction left her bewildered.

What familiar scent did it smell? Was it related to her, or to something else?

Just as she was lost in thought, the Wolf King suddenly raised his head, and his deep golden pupils locked onto her again.

It growled, its voice low but filled with an indescribable emotion, as if conveying some message.

Feng Qingyue felt a chill running down her spine. "What...what does this mean?"

Jun Lingyuan did not answer immediately. Instead, the wolf king suddenly raised his head and let out a deafening roar.

The sound resounded through the night sky as if the air was being torn apart.

The wolves responded immediately, then they all turned around and quickly retreated into the darkness.

The Wolf King looked back at Feng Qingyue, then turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Feng Qingyue stood there in a daze, feeling confused. "They left... why?"

Jun Lingyuan's eyes flickered, appearing deep and unfathomable. "The Wolf King ordered them to retreat."

Feng Qingyue was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking: "Why did it do this to me?"

Jun Lingyuan sighed softly, "You have a familiar aura on you, which prompted it to react like this."

Feng Qingyue felt a sense of emptiness in her heart. "A familiar aura...what on earth is going on?"

Jun Lingyuan glanced at her calmly and said, "No matter what, the Wolf King's departure means temporary safety. We must continue on our journey."

Feng Qingyue nodded. Although her heart was still full of doubts, she knew that they were safe for the moment.

She stopped and looked around deeply, and found that the wolves had quietly disappeared and silence returned to the surroundings.

"Everyone, get ready to move on." Feng Qingyue's tone was firm and calm.

Chen Jinyu stood beside her, his expression still serious.

He was slightly stunned, obviously not yet recovered from the tense atmosphere.

The appearance of the wolf king and its special reaction to Feng Qingyue confused and shocked him.

However, as soon as Feng Qingyue gave the order, everyone immediately took action, quickly packed up their equipment, and adjusted their formation.

Although the atmosphere was still tense, no one dared to delay.

Everyone understands that current security does not mean eternal peace.

The sudden departure of the Wolf King may only be temporary, and no one can predict what will happen next.

"Are you ready?" Feng Qingyue turned to Chen Jinyu, her tone calm, but with an authority that could not be ignored.

Chen Jinyu took a deep breath, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and then nodded: "Yes, Goddess."

He turned around and waved, "Everyone, get ready to move on! Stay alert!"

The team members responded one after another. Although they were still full of doubts, the most important thing at the moment was to move forward and not stay in this place that was no longer safe.

Jun Lingyuan didn't say anything more. He stood beside Feng Qingyue with a calm look, but there seemed to be unspoken deep thoughts in his eyes.

"Let's go." Feng Qingyue whispered. She gripped her sword tightly and took the lead. Her steps were light but steady, as if every step was declaring her determination.

……

"We have to get through this forest as soon as possible." Jun Lingyuan suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. His voice was still calm, but it revealed a force that could not be ignored.

Feng Qingyue nodded slightly to show her agreement.

"Don't worry, the wolves have already left and they won't come back in a short time." Jun Lingyuan stared at Feng Qingyue's slightly worried expression and comforted her in a gentle voice.

However, Feng Qingyue shook her head, her brows furrowed tightly. "I just have a doubt in my heart. Why didn't the Wolf King attack us?"

Jun Lingyuan pondered silently, and an ancient legend he had heard before emerged in his mind.

Could it be that Feng Qingyue has some connection with the guardian god of this land?

This guess flashed through his mind, but he didn't say a word.

"Perhaps it is some kind of aura emanating from you that makes it feel familiar. In any case, there is no need to worry about it anymore. We are safe and sound now." Jun Lingyuan smiled slightly, his tone gentle.

Feng Qingyue nodded slightly and replied in a low voice: "Hmm..." She did not continue to ask questions, but moved slightly, as if preparing to take a rest.

Seeing this, Jun Lingyuan looked at her slightly tired face, and a trace of pity arose in his heart.

He stepped forward and slowly sat down.

Feng Qingyue seemed to notice the movement, and her eyes, which had been closed, opened slightly.

Seeing this, Jun Lingyuan reached out and gently pressed his hand on her shoulder, saying softly, "Rest for a while."

Feeling the familiar and warm breath coming towards her, Feng Qingyue obediently closed her eyes, leaned on Jun Lingyuan's shoulder again, and closed her eyes quietly.

"Young Master, why did the Wolf King suddenly leave after seeing the goddess?" Yang Yi looked at Chen Jinyu with confusion and couldn't help asking.

Chen Jinyu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Perhaps it has its own reasons. However, no matter what, we cannot let our guard down. I want to inform everyone: do not let your guard down and remain alert at all times."

"Okay, sir!" Yang Yi nodded respectfully, then turned and left in a hurry.

Looking at Yang Yi's back, Chen Jinyu pondered in his heart. At the moment, he himself was puzzled.

Could it be that there really was some kind of connection between Feng Qingyue and the Wolf King? But on the surface, there didn't seem to be any signs of that.

He shook his head and decided not to dwell on it anymore. The most important thing right now was to ensure everyone's safety and prevent the Wolf King from returning again.

Jun Lingyuan stared quietly at Feng Qingyue who was already sleeping.

"Qingyue, who are you?" Jun Lingyuan whispered to himself, looking at Feng Qingyue's sleeping face with complicated eyes.

In his heart, Feng Qingyue has always been a mystery.

Her origins, background, identity, and even her connection with this world seem to be shrouded in thick fog.

Jun Lingyuan sighed softly, and an indescribable emotion rose in his heart.

He knew that Feng Qingyue was not an ordinary person.

Her appearance seemed to have set off a storm that could not be ignored in this chaotic world.

She seems to be hiding some huge secret, and this secret may be more complicated than anyone can imagine, and may even involve the fate of this continent.

However, no matter what, the only thing he can do now is to protect her until the day the truth is revealed.
