The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich Chapter 2069: Little Witch of the Pugilistic World

Lin Nianlan laughed and remarked, "Oh, so you are indeed the Wolf King. No wonder you seem quite different from the others."

"I am the Wolf King. Naturally, I am superior to them." The beast tilted its head with an air of vanity, though it soon asked in bewilderment, "Wait a moment. How is it that you understand our tongue? No, that is not right—how am I able to comprehend your speech?"

Placing a finger to her lips, Lin Nianlan wagged it playfully. With a cryptic smile, she replied, "I can grasp every word you say. Furthermore, I am quite capable. Should you submit to being my pet for a mere day, I shall grant you your freedom. What say you?"

The Wolf King roared in indignation, "Human, you may slay a warrior, but you cannot insult him! You have gone too far. Do not blame us if we decide to devour you now."

Lin Nianlan raised her gaze, resting her hands firmly upon her hips. She countered with high spirits, "Then by all means, come and try your luck."

"Awoo, awoo..."

Taking the vanguard, the Wolf King charged forward.

Yet, who could have foreseen that it would find itself bound before it even approached the girl?

Indeed, the beast was completely trussed up. Its four limbs were knotted together, forcing its frame into the curved shape of a boiled shrimp, though its head remained elevated. A thick, brownish-black rope threaded through its jaws, looping over its body to secure its legs.

In short, the entire Wolf King had been subdued by a single tether.

Lin Nianlan lifted the trapped creature with one hand and patted its snout with the other. "I offered you a chance to be my pet for a few days, after which I would have released you. Look at you now—you simply lack obedience."

Having said this, she turned her attention toward the twenty or thirty wolves that had hesitated, fearful of her power yet unwilling to abandon their leader. "Do not squander your efforts. Even if the lot of you attacked at once, you would be no match for me, and you certainly lack the strength to rescue your king. Return to your dens. I shall not harm him; I merely desire a companion to keep me company."

Though some of the subordinates trembled, their loyalty to their trapped leader made them reluctant to retreat.

Attempting to capitalize on her perceived distraction, several wolves lunged forward.

However, vines erupted from the earth with impossible speed, ensnaring them instantly.

Watching the five or six subordinates being bound, Lin Nianlan sighed. "I warned you not to waste your strength, yet you refused to listen. You are truly incorrigible."

She then addressed the Wolf King, "Tell your kin to depart. Do not throw their lives away needlessly."

With a flick of her wrist, she released her hold, and the Wolf King plummeted to the ground as the binding rope vanished into thin air.

The Wolf King was shrewd enough to recognize the necessity of the moment; he knew full well that this woman possessed terrifying abilities.

For the preservation of his pack, he yielded to the role of a pet.

He let out a series of barks, prompting the wolves to scramble away immediately, showing not a shred of concern for their king's predicament.

Even Lin Nianlan could not help but twitch a smile at their swift abandonment.

Once his followers had retreated, the king returned to the girl’s side, offering a submissive sound.

Lin Nianlan patted his head affectionately. "Hehe, what a good boy."

Thereafter, she wandered the deep mountain forests with her new pet, the Wolf King, in tow.

The young girl’s idea of entertainment consisted of setting intricate traps to ensnare unsuspecting creatures.

As for how the prey arrived, it was the Wolf King's job to act as the bait.

The mechanics of the lure, however, were of no concern to the girl.

"Big Brother, look! There is a stunning young lady over there, and she has a wolf by her side!"

"Is that really true?"

"Of course! Big Brother, she is as radiant as a fairy. Capturing her to be your bride would surely bring you great joy."

"Very well then, let us move! We will seize her and make her my wife!"

One subordinate interjected with a note of caution, "But Big Brother, the Third Leader mentioned a wolf accompanying her. Can we truly stand against such a beast?"

"Tsk, what is there to fear? It is but one wolf, not an entire pack. What could possibly go wrong?"

High atop the highest peak, Lin Nianlan stood balanced upon the delicate tip of a pine, her toes barely touching the needles, as she remained perfectly still, watching the world below.
