Then let the witch offer her loyalty

She licked the blood from her fingertips, glanced at Chen Moxin sideways, and looked him over with considerable admiration.

Suddenly, she tore off a large piece of red meat covered in tendons from the cow's back and casually tossed it toward Chen Moxin, as if she were feeding her wolf cub.

"This is a reward from the King."

The piece of meat flew in an arc and landed on the grass in front of Chen Moxin, dripping with blood and emitting a strong fishy smell.

Chen Moxin picked up the bloody beef from the ground, her expression full of honor, and shouted in a pretentious tone, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

Completely disregarding the stench of raw meat, he brought it directly to his mouth and took a bite.

"Crack——"

The pungent smell of blood and meat juices exploded in his mouth, but his expression didn't distort at all. Instead, he looked like he was seriously savoring a well-done, aged steak, his face full of enjoyment.

In the observation room.

Alexander, witnessing this, was visibly embarrassed, his lips twitching involuntarily: "Awesome... No wonder Brother Chen can seduce so many witches. This ability to be flexible and adaptable is something not everyone can learn..."

Wolf Moon looked at Chen Moxin with a scrutinizing gaze. Seeing that the other party was enjoying what she had given him, she twitched her ears.

"Hey kid, have you ever eaten raw meat before?"

"No, this is my first time eating it today."

"How does it feel?"

"It's a gift from the King, and it smells delicious."

"Indeed, I've offered it to others before, but they always vomited after eating it. They're a bunch of tasteless people."

Wolf Moon smiled with satisfaction, lowered its head and continued to gnaw on the big yellow ox, glancing at Chen Moxin every now and then, as if it had developed some interest in this sensible human.

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Chen Moxin wiped her mouth and began the next step.

"Your Majesty, I would like to know one thing: besides the title 'Wolf Moon,' do you have another real name?"

"Of course."

"If you could, could you tell me about it?"

"Why do you ask my name?"

Chen Moxin told a simple lie: "Of course, it's because I've long admired Your Majesty and want to know more about you."

Wolf Moon's ears perked up and twitched twice. He looked quite smug, but still snorted arrogantly, "Telling you isn't impossible, but there's a condition."

She arrogantly put her hands on her hips and pointed at the ground: "Kneel down before me, and show me your belly, then I will tell you my real name."

Now it was Chen Moxin who hesitated.

He didn't feel ashamed about it.

Who cares about saving face when they play the clown?

As long as we can achieve our goal, you dare to say it, and I dare to do it.

If Luo Lingyou told him to kneel down and show his belly, he would kneel down without saying a word.

But this is a completely different story when it comes to Wolf Moon.

In the minds of canines, exposing their belly is a gesture of weakness or begging for mercy.

If one party exposes their belly to another, it signifies submission and recognition of the other as the superior.

If Chen Moxin does this, it's tantamount to admitting that Lang Yue is trampling on his head and that he can treat him as a subordinate in the future.

Once Wolf Moon develops this concept of hierarchy, it will become extremely difficult to have further interactions with her in the future.

Since the containment mission hasn't started yet, we don't know what the subsequent missions will be like.

If the mission is bound by such hierarchical relationships, then it would be completely self-inflicted.

Therefore, the belly must never be exposed.

Chen Moxin was silent for a moment, then smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your kind invitation, but I am only here today to say hello. I have no intention of joining your ranks yet. Please forgive me."

"Ugh!!!" Wolf Moon growled angrily, waving her little hands in the air like claws, and said in a cute but fierce tone, "How dare you refuse the king's kindness? What an ungrateful thing!"

"If it weren't for the fact that you offered me a cow, I would have beaten you up today! What bad luck! Get out of here!"

Chen Moxin didn't want to provoke Lang Yue, so she left Containment Chamber No. 4 directly.

Although I didn't learn Wolf Moon's real name on this trip, it was still worthwhile.

At least they discovered the condition Wolf Moon would give for revealing her real name—she would only agree if Wolf Moon showed her her belly and acted as her "little brother".

It's not something you have to do yourself.

Anyway, he only wants his real name.

He didn't care who asked for his name.

With this in mind, Chen Moxin went to the general detention area.

...

After Zhou Haiwei's death, Zhou Yan's custody was automatically transferred to the public and eventually handed over to the Administration Bureau.

At first, she was so immersed in the grief of losing her father that she couldn't pull herself out of it, and everyone felt sorry for her.

After all, Zhou Haiwei was a terrible father, and there was nothing to mourn about him.

Zhou Yan was so heartbroken over this scumbag that she didn't eat or drink for several days. Many people felt that she should be included in the Empire's Top Ten Filial Sons of the Year.

However, with everyone's care and concern, Zhou Yan quickly recovered.

As the saying goes, the tighter a spring is compressed, the higher it bounces when released.

Now that Zhou Yan is free from pressure, he has become much more optimistic than before, and even a bit unrestrained, shamelessly going to Liu Lan's house for meals all day long.

When Chen Moxin arrived at Liu Lan's house, Zhou Yan was lying on the sofa playing video games, her smooth little feet swinging up and down.

Liu Lan was cutting an apple beside her, occasionally feeding her a piece with affection, creating a very warm scene.

At first, Liu Lan was somewhat resistant to Zhou Yan.

She herself is not the gentle, maternal type of mature woman. She acted very virtuous in front of Zhou Yan, which was entirely at Chen Moxin's request.

Interacting with a child like Zhou Yan, cooking for her every day, and taking care of her emotions always made Liu Lan feel like she was getting old and becoming a mother prematurely.

However, women are very emotional. Even with cats and dogs, they will develop feelings for each other after spending a long time together, let alone people.

In addition, Zhou Yan is usually very sensible. She never eats or drinks for free and helps with washing dishes, cleaning, and doing all kinds of housework.

Gradually, Liu Lan's maternal instincts awakened, and she became quite comfortable with being with Zhou Yan.

Upon seeing Chen Moxin arrive, Liu Lan smiled at him and said, "Moxin."

"Brother Moxin!" Zhou Yan didn't even save his game; he put down his game console and ran over, laughing as he leaped into Chen Moxin's arms.

Chen Moxin caught Zhou Yan and spun her around twice before putting her back on the sofa: "Looks like you've been eating well lately, you seem to have gained several pounds."

Zhou Yan stuck out his tongue and said with a worried look, "Sigh, if only height could grow as easily as weight."

Chen Moxin sat down next to her and casually took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket and gave it to her: "How have you been lately? Are you adjusting to life in the Puju District?"

Zhou Yan happily took the chocolate and started munching on it, saying as she ate, "It's great! It's much more comfortable than the strict control area. I can sleep in every day, do whatever I want, and there are so many things to do. I never get tired of it."

"But..." she paused, then sighed, "There are just too few people my age. I always feel like there's a generation gap between me and those witches, and we can't really talk to each other. I usually just hang out with Sister Lan and Sister Qiaoqiao."

Chen Moxin smiled knowingly after hearing this: "You want playmates your own age? What a coincidence, I'm here specifically to introduce you to some."

Zhou Yan asked curiously, "Who is it? How old is she?"

Chen Moxin coughed lightly and said, "A 12-year-old little girl, beautiful and sweet-voiced, lively and active, and with a pair of fluffy animal ears."

Zhou Yan couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow~ just hearing you say that, I can imagine how cute she is."

“It is cute, but—” Chen Moxin dragged out her words.

Zhou Yan blinked: "But what?"

Chen Mo thought to himself, "But it's a little bit scary."

Zhou Yan waved his hand dismissively: "What's a little bit fierce? I've seen plenty of fierce people."

"Those thugs on the border roads used to be vicious and ruthless. Surely a mere 12-year-old girl can't be more ferocious than them, right?"

"Brother Mo Xin, where is she? Introduce her to us!"

"You said it yourself," Chen Moxin chuckled, leaning close to Zhou Yan's ear and whispering, "I can introduce you two, but there are a few things I need to ask of you..."

Chapter 195 Little Wolf Cub

Special Zone No. 4 Shelter.

This containment chamber, specially built for Wolf Moon, has a high-precision constant temperature system, making the indoor grassland pleasant in all seasons. When the artificial breeze blows, the vast green grass undulates like ocean waves.

The winding man-made stream flows through the undulating terrain, its surface shimmering with light. Occasionally, a few ornamental fish swim by. The banks of the stream are planted with many low shrubs, all native vegetation of the Uhar Grassland, striving to recreate the environment that Langyue was once familiar with.

Today, as always, Wolf Moon lay on the largest and tallest rock, stretching and yawning, squinting as he surveyed his surroundings.

Having just eaten and slept her fill, she had nothing to do, and her furry wolf ears twitched.

"The weather is so nice, what should we do?"

Suddenly, a flying insect buzzed over and circled her ear twice.

Wolf Moon's body sprang up like a taut bowstring, leaping off the boulder to chase after it. She ran wildly across the grass, darting left and right as flying insects darted about.

The insect darted into the bushes, and she rolled and tumbled in after it, grabbing at the low-lying leaves and shrubs until she caught the little insect with nowhere to escape.

"Run? You think you can escape?"

She flattened the insect on the lawn, then went to the stream and, mimicking a wolf, stretched her head to drink, burying her face in the water and blowing bubbles as she drank.

After drinking the water, she shook the water droplets off her hair and jumped back onto her favorite boulder.

As he lay down, he didn't forget to pluck a few blades of grass growing in the cracks of the rocks, chew them in his mouth, then rolled over, rested his chin on his arm, and gazed at the blue sky and white clouds on the other side of the transparent ceiling, yawning listlessly.

"Ugh, I'm so bored. I want to chop someone up for fun."

Wolf Moon twitched its ears and looked toward the isolation door, as if it had an idea, its gaze gradually becoming sharp.

"Let's go out and kill some hunters. I wonder how tough the hunters here are."

"Take them all down, one by one, until they're all showing their bellies!"

Just as Wolf Moon was about to go out and have some fun...

With a hissing sound, the isolation door opened.

Wolf Moon immediately straightened up alertly, staring coldly at the uninvited guest.

It was a small figure, about the same age as me, with light pink fur, gentle features, and seemingly posed no threat.

Zhou Yan stood by the door, her body stiff. Although she tried her best to remain calm, the beads of sweat on her forehead betrayed her inner panic.

When Zhou Yan saw the wolf moon on the boulder, his pupils visibly twitched. He swallowed hard and tried to raise his hand to greet it, but found his arm too weak to lift.

Wolf Moon stood on the giant rock with his arms crossed, looking down at Zhou Yan like a king.

"Hey, kid!"

Her tone was instinctively fierce, and she bared her sharp teeth.

"This is my territory, get out of here right now!"

An overwhelming aura swept over him, causing Zhou Yan to catch his breath and instinctively take a half-step back.

But instead of turning and running away, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.

The next second, Zhou Yan suddenly rushed into containment chamber number 4, bent his knees and slid down a long distance, leaving a long trail on the grass, and knelt down at Wolf Moon's feet.

She lifted her shirt with both hands, revealing her snow-white belly.

"King Wolf Moon, I've come to seek refuge with you! Please, take me in! I'll do anything you ask!"

Wolf Moon was stunned.

When this guy suddenly barged in, she was ready to pounce on him and beat Zhou Yan until he cried for his parents.

To everyone's surprise, the other person immediately slid down to their knees and exposed their belly.

His sincerity in speaking, the fluidity of his movements, and the perfection of his kneeling posture were all impeccable.
