The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich Chapter 2068: The Little Witch of Jianghu

Chapter 2068: The Little Witch of Jianghu

She was a maiden wandering the martial world, possessing both striking beauty and sharp wit.

Clad frequently in a yellow-green dress, she would traverse the scenery upon her donkey, clutching a jade flute.

‘I have a little donkey that I never ride

‘One day, I rode to the market on a whim

‘I’m holding a whip in my hand, I’m very proud

‘I don’t know why I fell all over the mud.’

The girl’s clear, melodic singing echoed throughout the woods, shaking the very trees.

“Flee! The little devil is back again!”

“The little devil has returned!”

Continuous roars erupted from the forest animals. A passerby might have mistakenly assumed a massive earthquake was underway.

In reality, these cries were conveying urgent information.

“Dammit, why has this little witch returned? Didn't she just depart?”

“Exactly. She only just left. How is she back already?”

Beasts of all kinds, regardless of whether they were natural prey or predators, had become allies in this desperate moment, exchanging frantic questions.

“Why did she even come back?” a large grey wolf growled. “Has she not had enough fun?”

He recalled how, just a short time ago, he—a Wolf King feared throughout these mountains—had been reduced to acting like a common pet dog for this young girl.

He had been forced to carry her on his back from the base of the mountains to their peak, and back down again.

Under the pitying gazes of his peers, the mighty Wolf King had obediently played the part of a loyal dog.

Why had he not fought back?

Because resistance was impossible.

The Wolf King, far more ferocious than any average wolf that might terrify a mortal in combat, had been rendered completely powerless before this girl.

The events of that day remained crystal clear in his memory.

He had been scouting for prey with his pack when the scent of a human reached him.

He had been overjoyed.

Humans—what a feast.

It had been an age since he tasted human flesh. Recently, the larger beasts had been faster than rabbits, fleeing the moment they sensed a wolf.

Consequently, the quick-footed rabbits had become the pack's only daily sustenance.

With too many hungry wolves and too few rabbits, not even a single wolf could sate its appetite, let alone the entire pack. They had been starving for two days.

Upon catching the scent of a human and another creature, the wolves grew wildly excited.

With a thunderous growl, the pack surged forward.

Then, they spotted the young girl in light green, seated on a riverside rock. Her slender legs were stretched out, brass bells tied to her ankles. Resting on her palms, she tilted her head back with eyes closed. Her eyelashes fluttered, revealing a fair, delicate face with eyebrows that suggested a hint of a smile.

She was basking in the sun, looking entirely carefree. Her long, ink-black hair rippled in the breeze.

Near her stood a donkey with brownish-red fur, its round eyes darting about as its ears twitched.

It suddenly nudged its master’s arm, uttering small “wuwu” sounds, as if whispering to her.

The girl, Lin Nianlan, sounded impatient. “Fine, fine, I hear you.”

She stood from the rock and clapped her hands. “It’s just a pack of wolves. What is there to fear?”

Her gaze swept over the pack until it landed on the tall, grey-haired Wolf King, whose eyes burned with ferocity.

The corners of her mouth curled upward. Pointing a finger with an air of absolute authority, she declared, “You. You will be my pet for a few days. I intended to linger here, but being alone with only Xiao Mao is dull. With you as my pet, I shall have company.”

The fierce Wolf King and his entire pack were left stunned.

‘Is this mortal hallucinating? It is bad enough she didn't flee at the sight of us, but now she expects the great Wolf King to serve as her pet? This is a mockery.

‘No, I must punish her before I make her my meal.’

“Human, you are clearly delusional. You want the Wolf King to be your pet?” the Wolf King roared at her. “It would be much wiser for you to obediently become our next meal.”
