Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Did His Highness know how serious of a matter it was for a man to be cuckolded?

“Pass down my order. Find Su Qian at all costs and bring her and her child back to me in one piece.” Xiao Yan’s fingers caressed the woman in the portrait, his movements extremely gentle. “In addition, investigate who tried to assassinate her.”

Dong Yan didn’t understand why His Highness was suddenly so interested. He could only agree and turn to leave.

…

“Wuwawa!”

The baby’s cries echoed in the small cave. The first rays of the morning sun peeked out from the horizon, and the orange-red light shone on the baby who had been crying since birth.

Su Qian endured the pain and sat up straight. She picked up the two children in one go and kissed her weak little daughter on the forehead. “Bad girl, you’ve been trying to stay in your mother’s womb all this time…”

She had no idea that she was pregnant with two children. The girl came out later than the boy. Su Qian had suffered a lot hiding in this cave the entire night. But when she saw the children’s red faces, she felt that it was worth it. She forced herself to feed the children milk, and finally, she fainted from exhaustion.

Su Qian didn’t forget to hug the two children tightly even when she was unconscious. Her body was covered in blood, and the smell of blood quickly attracted uninvited guests.

“Awooo…”

The wolves’ howls reverberated in the forest, causing the wolves to stretch out their necks and howl. The sound shook the wilderness and made people’s hair stand on end.

In the blink of an eye, a dozen or so wolves arrived and immediately spotted Su Qian, who was unconscious in the cave with her two children in her arms.

The smell of blood in the air was extremely alluring to the wolf pack. A strong wild wolf stared at Su Qian, its eyes emitting a dark green light. At this moment, its hind legs were slightly bent, and its front legs were extended forward, making it look like it was diving down. Then, with a leap, it opened its bloody mouth and charged straight at the unconscious Su Qian.

In a flash, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the bushes at the side. Accompanied by a hiss, it bit the wolf’s neck!

“Awoo!” The wild wolf immediately let out a mournful wail. The fangs of a pitch-black venomous snake as thick as a human’s wrist sank deep into its throat, injecting poison into it.

The wild wolf twitched twice on the ground, then frothed at the mouth and died.

The rest of the wolves let out threatening howls and got into an attacking posture, wanting to kill that pitch-black poisonous snake.

The poisonous snake coiled around the wolf’s body. Its blue eyes glowed with a mysterious cold light, and it suddenly hissed twice.

Very quickly, a series of sparse sounds came from all directions.

Then, a large number of poisonous creatures surrounded them.

At first glance, the surroundings were covered in poisonous creatures. There were poisonous snakes, scorpions, spiders, and centipedes. They were all glaring at the wolves with vicious eyes and surrounded them tightly.

Anyone who saw this scene would feel their scalps go numb and scream in fear.

Before attacking, the leader of the venomous snakes turned their head to look at Su Qian and the two children, who were unconscious in the cave.

Its eyes were filled with admiration and fear.

It wasn’t just this snake; the other poisonous creatures on the scene did the same. They first made sure that Su Qian and the children were safe before swarming toward the pack of wolves.
