“What’s so good about battle pets? I’ve seen many in my lifetime.” Emperor Longchang was exceptionally enjoying the few little wolf cubs, rolling around and competing to please, and couldn’t help boasting, “That girl surnamed Wang is truly talented, much more interesting than our Imperial Household’s beast tamers.”

“Wait a moment.” As he was speaking, Emperor Longchang suddenly thought of something amiss, his brow furrowing with authority, “These little wolf cubs are very well-behaved and obedient, nothing like what Yao Chengchao described as unbearable?”

“Could it be that Yao Chengchao accidentally damaged my Painting of the Divine Dynasty Twilight, along with some other treasures? Out of fear of his family’s punishment, could he have shifted the blame onto these poor and innocent little wolf cubs?”

“How despicable! Yao Chengchao has gone too far! He clearly is bullying them because they can’t speak, to frame them so shamelessly!”

Emperor Longchang, who always liked to judge others by himself, became more convinced the more he thought about it, his facial expression growing increasingly dark.

Exactly, exactly!

The five little wolf cubs nodded obediently, their innocent and pure eyes gratefully looking at Emperor Longchang.

Kind and amiable old man, you are so right, we’re just a group of well-behaved little wolf cubs, how could we harbor any ill intentions? It must have been that bad guy framing us.

“Hmph~”

Emperor Longchang snorted coldly, his gaze somewhat unfriendly: “Old Yao, check into this, whether it was Yao Chengchao who accidentally broke something and deliberately used the little wolf cubs as a scapegoat, or… if the Yao family intentionally or unintentionally, wanted to get involved in the conflict over the Emperor’s son in our Great Qian Land.”

“Trying to stir up discord through this matter, causing me to develop a hatred for the Changning Wang Clan, and thus influencing the progress of the conflict over the Emperor’s Son.”

At these words, Old Yao’s expression also turned serious.

He immediately bowed deeply and said solemnly, “Yes, Your Majesty. I will send people to investigate immediately.”

As Old Yao left, the five little wolf cubs, sensing that the kind and amiable old man was in a poor mood, immediately employed their clever tricks to amuse him, including standing upside down, lying on the ground with eyes open and tongue out pretending to be dead, and even sitting up, singing “ah woo ah woo”.

Emperor Longchang couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “You little wolf cubs are really quite understanding of human nature, training you Wang family girls must be a talent indeed.”

With the company of these well-behaved and obedient little wolf cubs, Emperor Longchang’s bitter mood improved a lot. He even took out a Luya Rod and started fishing in the Spirit Fish Pond.

The Spirit Fish that came along naturally became the beneficiary of this group of little wolf cubs.

These well-behaved and obedient little wolf cubs gave Emperor Longchang an extremely rare leisure experience, feeling mentally relaxed.

He had started to ponder how he would make Wang Shouzhe give up one willingly when he came to pay his respects.

The third is good, the second also, and the fifth, most obedient and responsive…

Which one should he choose?

For a while, Emperor Longchang found himself caught in a difficult situation again, his choice paralysis acting up. Look at this one—quite good, see that one—also very well-behaved.

Forget it, forget it, might as well negotiate with Wang Shouzhe and just give him all five little wolf cubs.

As for the compensation, well, that will be on the tax reduction in Longzuo County, reducing the increase from fifty percent to thirty percent.

Wang Shouzhe, Wang Shouzhe~

See how good I, Longchang, am to you; you better remember my kindness.

“Hahahaha~~~”

Thinking about all these scenarios, Emperor Longchang couldn’t help but burst into a series of hearty laughs.

Nighttime.

Emperor Longchang had the Eunuch set up a luxurious wolf den, which was now built in the Imperial Garden. The wolf cubs, under the arrangements of the Eunuch, also crawled into the wolf den, each appearing very happy and satisfied.

“Your Highness, should we lock up the fence?” a certain Eunuch asked softly.

Just as Emperor Longchang was about to say “lock” them up, he caught the pitiful gaze of the five little ones and immediately softened his heart.

“If My five little ones are so well-behaved, why should I lock them up?” Emperor Longchang waved his hand, and immediately made a decision, “Arrange for two eunuchs to stand guard tonight.”

That night, Emperor Longchang slept soundly for the first time in a long while.

The five little wolf cubs gave him healing energy, also allowing his mood to relax like it hadn’t in quite some time.

The next morning.

Right after Emperor Longchang rose and washed up, while still at breakfast, he was already eager to check on the five little ones again.

Such excitement and concern, when had it last surfaced within him?

A hundred years, or two hundred years? Or perhaps even longer…

Because of the presence of the five little wolf cubs, even the typically bland breakfast seemed tastier than usual.

Soon, Emperor Longchang finished his breakfast and walked into his Imperial Garden with a cheerful step.

He was thinking about whether to take the five little ones out for a hunt today.

Just then, two eunuchs came tumbling out, screaming, “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!”

“What matter could be so urgent?” Emperor Longchang frowned and scolded with authority.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the five, the five little ones they…”

As the eunuchs explained in a panic, Old Yao miraculously appeared beside Emperor Longchang, reporting, “Your Majesty, about the matter you had me investigate yesterday, I have the results.”

“It turns out it’s not the Cold Moon Yao Clan causing trouble covertly. Indeed, the five little ones are quite mischievous. According to the crew of the cloud manta flying boat, the five possess remarkable hiding and sneaking abilities and have awoken some space abilities. Ordinary cages can’t hold them. If you keep an eye on them, it’s somewhat manageable, but the moment you blink, they’ll ‘swoosh’ disappear.”

“Yes, yes, yes! Just like ‘swoosh’ and then they’re gone, and then there was trouble,” the two eunuchs nodded frantically in agreement, shouting loudly.

Emperor Longchang’s eyelids twitched.

What does “swoosh” and then gone mean? What sort of trouble?

A bad premonition enveloped Emperor Longchang’s heart.

He hurriedly rushed into the Imperial Garden.

A few moments later, a pained and trembling voice came from the garden.

“My Rank 9 Immortal Spirit Flowers, how did they become ruined? My Gold Floral Phoenixes, how did the stems break? My, my top-quality Exquisite Life Spring Fish~~~”

The Spirit Flowers, exotic plants, and Spirit Fish in the Imperial Garden were all precious species, usually cared for meticulously by professionals. Damaging a single leaf or scraping off one scale was enough to cause heartache, but now, the garden was a complete mess.

“You five little ones, you…” Emperor Longchang trembled with anger, preparing to punish them, but then he saw their five pairs of innocent and pitiable eyes blinking at him.

Kind and benevolent Old Master, we’re just a few little wolf cubs. Just a bit playful, what’s wrong with that?

Pfft~

Emperor Longchang nearly coughed up blood and couldn’t help but roar, “Wang Shouzhe, you rascal! You’re really trying to ruin me. I, I won’t let you off easily!”

How is it that after that Wang Shouzhe appeared, the life of Emperor Longchang started to be filled with surprises at every turn?

Could it be that Wang Shouzhe truly is the bane of Emperor Longchang?
