This Life's Song: The Genius Rune Master

The wolves grew increasingly agitated, charging forward one by one. The two fought fiercely, and just then, a white-furred wolf came into Lianxue's view.

"Look over there, that white wolf!" Lian Xue called to Qi Nianbei, pointing to the left rear. Following her finger, there was indeed a white-furred wolf. This wolf was different from the others; its eyes were clear and intelligent, as if it were staring at a person.

"It seems we need to find a way to get closer and destroy it," Qi Nianbei said, glancing back at the scene.

"Yes, breaking through won't be easy! How do we get through?" Lian Xue looked troubled. With so many wolves surrounding them, getting through was a real problem.

The two continued to kill the wolves that came at them, but they couldn't kill them all. As soon as one fell, another would rush in. The smell of blood filled their nostrils, making them feel extremely uncomfortable.

The alpha wolf noticed the two approaching and let out a long howl. More wolves surrounded it, and the two men frowned at the sight.

"It seems this wolf is quite intelligent; it realized we were going to attack it," Qi Nianbei said, his brows furrowed as he watched the wolves swarming towards them.

"We need to think of a way to avoid being so passive," Lian Xue said, attacking while simultaneously devising a countermeasure.

The wolf's eyes darted around, and taking advantage of the two men's inattention, it moved forward a few steps, intending to launch a sneak attack just like them.

"I have an idea that we might as well give it a try," Lian Xue whispered to Qi Nianbei, who nodded repeatedly.

The two charged towards a spot where the wolf pack was sparsely populated.

Upon seeing this, the pack of wolves immediately surrounded the prey; how could they let their hard-won prey escape?

As he ran forward while killing, Qi Nianbei shouted "Get ready!" He clenched his fists and took a horse stance.

"Okay, I'm coming. Hang in there!" Lian Xue turned around and stepped onto Qi Nianbei's clenched fists.

Qi Nianbei shouted with all his might, and with a flick of his wrist, Lian Xue soared high into the air and immediately arrived in front of the alpha wolf.

The alpha wolf thought they were trying to escape, and that the rest of the pack had already gone after them. It only had a few wolves left, and it was also chasing after them, but it was puzzled by their actions.

In the blink of an eye, Lianxue had already reached the alpha wolf, and it was too late for the alpha wolf to call for the other wolves.

The white wolf howled in threat at Lianxue, but its intimidation was now useless.

The dagger was aimed straight at the wolf's head. The wolf reacted and twisted its body to the side. Lian Xue pursued closely, casting a freezing talisman and an ice talisman at the same time. The wolf was frozen and unable to move its legs. Lian Xue came close and stabbed the wolf's neck with the dagger.

However, the talisman failed at this moment, and the dagger was about to reach it and draw blood. The wolf rolled away to avoid the attack, and Lian Xue used the talisman again, causing the white wolf to run behind another wolf to avoid it.

Seeing that the white wolf was being attacked, the pack of wolves panicked and no longer cared about Qi Nianbei. They howled as if cheering and all looked at Lian Xue.

Qi Nianbei wanted to go over, but was blocked by the wolf pack. He could only stand by and watch the wolves. He thought to himself, "This little girl reacts quickly. Although the white wolf escaped, it was injured. If it were me, I would probably only be able to do this much. I might not be as good as her. No wonder her master wants to train her. It would be a pity if such talent were wasted."

Lian Xue was unaware of what Qi Nianbei was thinking at that moment, and even if she did, she wouldn't respond to his question.

Whether provoked or emboldened by the pack, the white wolf attacked even faster.

Lian Xue reacted quickly, kicking the wolf's head away with a spinning kick. The wolf scratched her leg, and blood flowed down her skirt.

Her skirts are now so bad they're barely enough to cover her body.

The wolf, stimulated by the blood, became even more excited. This time, the white wolf chose to leap, but a stun talisman immobilized it. The wolf then lunged forward, and a small wolf saw the leap and blocked it, whimpering as it fell to the ground.

Lianxue frowned as she looked at the dead wolf cub. Sometimes, a wolf's emotions are deeper than a human's.

Thinking didn't affect his actions; the attack came again.

Enraged by this, the white wolf used all its strength to try and kill Lian Xue. However, Lian Xue possessed talismans and a dagger, so while the wolf could injure her, it could not kill her. After fighting for half an hour, it still could not defeat her. Finally, it made a desperate decision.

The white wolf turned to run, but a fire talisman blocked its path. The wolf turned back and whimpered, seemingly already afraid.

He gripped the dagger in reverse, ready to finish it off, but saw the white wolf prostrate on the ground, its proud head bowed, wagging its tail like a puppy.

"What's going on?" Lian Xue was about to stab the wolf with her dagger when she saw this situation and couldn't react for a moment. She thought it was trying to trick her, but after looking at it for a long time, the white wolf was still lying down, wagging its tail and not moving.

The wolf pack was stunned; they stopped howling and stared at the white wolf.

Qi Nianbei finally had a moment to spare, so she walked over and looked at the white wolf. Seeing that it really wasn't attacking, she thought for a moment, "Could it be that you've beaten it into submission and now it wants to follow you?"

"No way, it was so fierce before." After saying that, he looked at the white wolf, who nodded its huge head.

The two were dumbfounded. "It...it can understand what we're saying!" Qi Nianbei was also astonished.

"What should we do? I didn't plan to get a pet. Why don't you take it?" Lian Xue looked at Qi Nianbei with a conflicted expression.

"It's something you defeated that only obeys your orders. Why don't you take over?" Qi Nianbei shook her head.

Lianxue looked at the white wolf, and the white wolf nodded again.

"What should we do?" Lianxue hesitated.

"Let's keep it; it'll be perfect for carrying us on our journey. We can recover our strength without delaying our travels," Qi Nianbei said.

"Then I'll keep it!" Lianxue said uncertainly.

"Keep it. You can make a contract with it. If you don't like it, you can just make a temporary contract first," Qi Nianbei nodded affirmatively.

"Alright then," he hesitated for a moment but still agreed. He bit his index finger, and a drop of blood flew out. The white wolf opened its mouth and inhaled it. A pattern resembling a Bagua diagram appeared under their feet, and a temporary contract was established.

"Master, my name is Bai Lang," a voice echoed in Lian Xue's mind. After a moment's thought, she realized it was the voice of the white wolf.

"This name suits you very well," Lian Xue replied to Bai Lang.

"He communicated with you, so his intelligence must be exceptionally high. I'm even a little envious," Qi Nianbei said, tilting her head, but without any hint of jealousy.

"It can talk and its name is Bailang," Lianxue said, turning back to Qi Nianbei.

"It seems this battle wasn't fought in vain." He was actually happy for the little girl.

"Bai Lang, you can send them away, let them go back to their own territory," Lian Xue asked Bai Lang, looking at the wolves eyeing them menacingly.

"Master, you can do it, please wait a moment," Bai Lang said, then ran to the wolf pack and howled repeatedly, as if they were having a conversation.

About fifteen minutes later, the wolf pack was seen walking into the inner part of the forest, looking back every few steps.

"Master is alright. They also wanted to follow you, but I refused to avoid any trouble," Bai Lang's cheerful voice echoed in Lian Xue's mind.

"Qi Nianbei, let's go, let's get on Bai Lang." Lian Xue told Bai Lang that it was doing the right thing, then turned to look at Qi Nianbei.

The two rode on the white wolf, with Lian Xue facing forward and Qi Nianbei leaning against her, keeping a close eye on their surroundings.

"Alright, Bai Lang, let's go. Head towards that mountain ahead." He gave Bai Lang a healing pill and pointed to the high mountain, telling him...

"Yes, Master, sit tight," Bai Lang said, and walked forward.
