151 KEEP AN EYE ON HER PART 19 (1/2)
When they heard a howl of a wolf, Xue Lin instantly stopped walking and prevented Ge Chen from going further as well.
”It's okay, they won't harm you.” Ge Chen's voice was as calm as water. He wasn't afraid at all.
”Are you sure? They are carnivores.” Xue Lin still hesitated.
Ge Chen assured her, ”Yes, I'm sure. They are my pet after all.”
Xue Lin frowned. ”Why are you acting like they are some kind of domestic animals?” She pulled him back as he tried to move forward.
Ge Chen chuckled. ”I'm impressed that you know that they are carnivores.”
”This is the basics of general knowledge.” Xue Lin grunted. She still didn't move.
”Are you having a hard time walking? Why don't I carry you?” Ge Chen exactly knew why she didn't move but he wanted to tease her a bit.
”No need! I can walk just fine.” Xue Lin tightly held his wrist and pulled him with her.
Ge Chen noticed her legs were shaking and he held back his laughter. They walked hand in hand and heard the wolves' howls from time to time. Seeing Xue Lin shiver, he said, ”Just relax, they won't attack you unless they are ordered by me.”
Xue Lin looked at him with a wary gaze, ”Are you threatening me?”
Ge Chen cleared her misunderstanding by saying, ”That's not my intention. All I'm saying that they won't dare to harm you.”
”I know they don't attack people without a reason. They are not as devious as humans after all.” Knowing human nature, she could say that animals were more trustworthy than humans.
”What if they are hungry?” Xue Lin couldn't imagine what would happen then.
Will they still listen to Ge Chen if their stomachs are empty?
Xue Lin couldn't stop herself from speaking, ”What do they usually eat?” She tried to hide her nervousness by talking.
Ge Chen casually replied, ”Human meat.”
”You are joking, right?” Xue Lin drily laughed.
”...” Ge Chen smiled mysteriously and said nothing.
Xue Lin's face became ghastly pale. Even if he was joking, she couldn't stand it anymore. She stopped walking forward and pulled his hand. ”All right, we have walked enough. Let's go back.” She turned around and dragged him with her.
”There is no need.” Ge Chen was still calm.
Xue Lin didn't want to listen to him. ”No, I'm not feeling okay. Let's head back.”
