Chapter 2176: Chapter 2084: Shameless, Truly Shameless 3
To prevent attacks from wild beasts.
The view from the tree is broad, making it convenient to observe the surroundings.
Lu Hualiang had spent nights in the woods before; he understood these basic concepts.
He had no objections to Xia Weibao’s suggestion of everyone taking a separate tree.
He even thoughtfully said, "It’s late, let’s sleep now; we still have to hurry on tomorrow."
"Okay."
Xia Weibao leaped up onto one of the large trees, the trunk was thick, she found a spot where she could both sit and lean her back, and then covered herself with a cloak as it was quite chilly at night.
Just as she was about to sleep, she heard wolves howling from not far away.
"Awooo—"
"Awooo awooo—"
Initially, it was just one or two howls, but then they became increasingly frequent.
And they were coming from different directions, Xia Weibao’s expression changed, "There’s a pack of wolves!"
Encountering a wolf pack while spending the night in the woods is extremely dangerous.
Not being discovered is still okay, but if found, it’s difficult to escape.
"Keep your voice down." Lu Hualiang’s soft voice came from the nearby tree.
Xia Weibao also lowered her voice, "What’s going on, it’s rare for wolves to appear in this area, and somehow we’ve run into them."
"I noticed traces of wolves earlier in the woods; I originally thought it was just one, but I didn’t expect it to be a pack. Judging by the howls, there must be quite a few."
Xia Weibao was worried, "Yeah, howling in different directions, must be many. But listening to these wolf howls, why do I feel they’re lacking strength? Could it be these wolves haven’t eaten for days and are too weak to howl properly?"
If that’s true, then they’re in even greater danger!
Lu Hualiang, "..."
Idiots!
Can’t even pretend to howl like a lead wolf, yet dare claim they’ve learned vocal technique!
For the emperor’s plan to woo a lady, the subordinates pretending to be howling wolves, "..."
Want to cry.
Your Majesty, is this the urgent task you prioritize over dealing with Prince Liang’s rebellion?
Just to pursue the future empress?
After all, they’re bloodless killers serving as hidden guards; learning vocal techniques was meant to facilitate missions, not to help you woo!
Foolish monarch, foolish monarch!
Grumbling endlessly in their hearts, they put more effort into the howling; otherwise, if His Majesty fails to win the empress’s heart, his wrath will fall on them, which would be disastrous!
Using inner strength, raising their voice, they howled with all their might!
Over there, Xia Weibao heard the wolf howls getting louder, struck the fire below with her palm, putting it out.
Right now, they must not attract the wolf pack over here.
"Tonight’s not peaceful." Lu Hualiang said in a deep voice.
"Yeah, I don’t know why there are so many wolves around, let’s be cautious."
She wanted to say, even if found, it’s fine, given their skills, escaping wouldn’t be a problem.
Before she could speak, Lu Hualiang’s voice came, "I think tonight we should rest on the same tree; if anything happens, we can look out for each other."
Just as he finished speaking, before Xia Weibao could react, he leaped and landed on her tree.
Xia Weibao, "..."
She hadn’t agreed yet!
The trees are so close, even if something happened, we can still look out for each other, right?
What was the point of jumping over deliberately!
"Go back, two people make too big of a target."
"Won’t." Lu Hualiang said, pulling her arm upwards, then he sat in her previous spot while she ended up in his embrace.
Xia Weibao, "..."
She wanted to kill him!
She was just about to punch backwards when suddenly a wolf howl came from the nearby bushes, and she immediately dared not move.
Oh crap!
Since when did the wolf get so close!
