Chapter 460 The Ferret Clan
With the wolf clan trial imminent, the entire city of Beiyue has been under lockdown since the first heavy snowfall of the year.
Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and glaciers, the massive city resembles a sleeping animal.
The young girl pushed open the window and saw the heavy snow outside.
"Daddy!" she called out in a childish voice as she turned around.
"It's snowing heavily outside again."
A kind-faced middle-aged man sat on a stool behind the little girl, and upon hearing this, gave his daughter a gentle smile:
"Yes, it's snowing heavily outside again!"
The little girl reached out to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky, unaware of the fleeting sorrow on her father's face.
"Father, Pearl wants to go out and play!"
"Let's go out later. The city is covered in snow, there won't be anyone outside!" The middle-aged man frowned and gave his daughter a perfunctory answer.
"No!" came the little girl's cheerful voice from behind him.
"I saw the handsome older brother I saw last time!"
The middle-aged man suddenly looked out the window in the direction his daughter was pointing. On the long street of Beiyue City, which had been deserted, a young man had appeared out of nowhere.
The man, dressed in white and holding an umbrella, was smiling as he looked at the little girl by the window.
Lian Chuan had actually spotted the little girl long ago; she was the ferret he had met briefly at Chang Jun's birthday celebration. She had a white pom-pom on her head and looked incredibly cute as she shook her head.
The young man used his magic and reached the window in a few steps. He immediately saw the middle-aged man trembling behind the little girl.
Lian Chuan sighed inwardly. He raised his hand to touch the little girl's head, but just as his fingertips were about to touch it, the white ball of fur suddenly dodged backward.
Lian Chuan's eyes widened suddenly.
"Sir!" The middle-aged man behind the little girl quickly stepped forward and hid his daughter behind his back.
"My daughter is rude."
Lian Chuan looked at the little girl hiding behind her father and said somewhat awkwardly:
"So, was that an ear just now?"
Upon closer inspection, he realized that the little girl's cheeks were indeed covered by her hair, and her ears were not visible.
The little girl popped out from behind her father and stuck her tongue out at Lian Chuan:
"Brother, you have no manners!"
"Only the oldest and most senior members of a clan would touch someone's ear!"
Lian Chuan silently cursed himself in his heart.
It has to be said that he was raised by his senior sister and always picked up that person's bad habits.
I can't help myself when I see cute things.
"grown ups!"
"My daughter was rude; I am willing to atone for her sins!"
Hearing his daughter's words, the middle-aged man on the side had already thought about how he would die in his next life. At this moment, he spoke again with trepidation.
Lian Chuan couldn't hold back any longer, and the young man solemnly addressed the middle-aged man:
"Don't talk!"
The middle-aged man stopped speaking, but his small eyes remained fixed on Lian Chuan, the worry in them seeming to overflow and drown him.
Seeing how frightened the man was, Lian Chuan abandoned his plan to present himself as approachable to the general public.
The young man nodded to the little girl:
"What's your name?"
"pearl!"
"Little Pearl, things aren't very safe in Beiyue City lately. Stay home with your father and don't go out for the time being."
Pearl nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, brother, we live underground, it's very safe!"
Lian Chuan chuckled softly. After nodding to Pearl's father, he turned and left.
Only after the young man's figure disappeared into the vast snowstorm did the middle-aged man pull his daughter out from behind him.
"Do you know who he is, my little darling!" The middle-aged man ruffled Pearl's hair.
"I know, didn't Father say that's Brother Silver Moon Wolf!"
The middle-aged people's popularity is overwhelming:
"I know you still..."
Pearl's clear voice interrupted her:
"He doesn't eat baby ferrets! He even protects us!"
"Lord Changjun too! They're all protecting the pearl!"
The middle-aged man paused for a moment upon hearing this, and then gently stroked his daughter's round little ears.
"Pearl, even so, you must respect your elders!"
The Silver Moon Wolf established the Northern Yue City in the Northern Region, protecting all the surrounding demon races. He was well aware of this favor.
It is precisely because of this kindness that we should be even more respectful.
"But Father, won't they be lonely without anyone to talk to and play with?" Pearl asked, her voice full of confusion as her father led her towards the underground cave.
"If my older brother and sister don't play with Pearl, Pearl will be heartbroken!"
"You girl!"
"I'll make sure your mother punishes you!"
"Mother will never handle Pearl!"
As the father and daughter talked, they slowly entered the cave hidden beneath the mansion. Behind the narrow passageway inlaid with luminous pearls was a small village located in the warm underground.
They belong to the sensitive and easily startled ferret family.
Pearl skipped and hopped to the village entrance, only to suddenly realize that the atmosphere inside the village was a bit strange.
All the elders stared at the small square in the center of the village as if frozen in place, their eyes filled with awe.
Pearl followed the gaze of her elders and saw the clan chief and a woman with a full head of silver hair in the small square.
Xue Chongyu looked at the sable clan chief before him. His voice was extremely solemn:
"Our clan leader has a favor to ask of us regarding this matter. The ferret clan excels at stealth and reconnaissance. Starting tomorrow, we must carefully investigate everyone who appears in Beiyue City."
"Changjun said that this matter concerns the survival of the Northern Region."
Pearl wanted to hear what the pretty lady was saying, but as soon as she opened her ears, her father, who came up behind her, covered them.
She looked up at her father and noticed that his expression was very serious.
Not only Father, but also Mother, Brother, and Sister not far away, and even the usually smiling clan chief all had extremely solemn expressions on their faces.
"Rest assured, young lady, as Lord Changjun has ordered, our clan will certainly provide all its assistance!"
"I will not give up even if I die!"
Xue Chongyu looked at the old man in front of him and slowly nodded:
"Thank you!"
Pearl's ears were only released after the pretty woman left.
The middle-aged man who had been covering her ears slowly stood up, met his wife's gaze, and then smiled with relief.
"Pearls!"
The middle-aged man grasped Pearl's shoulders, turned the little girl to face him, and spoke in an incredibly gentle voice:
"Beiyuchuan is our home!"
"Daddy... what's wrong?" Pearl twitched her little ears, feeling a little sad but not knowing why.
The middle-aged man smiled:
"nothing?"
"If you see that guy again, remember to talk to him!"
"Pearl, we all love you!"
Her mother, older brother, and older sister all crowded around from behind, surrounding Little Pearl.
"Pearl, we all love you!"
