Facing those few little wolf pups with their pure and innocent eyes, appearing as if they were so pitiable that you could strike them if you wanted to, Emperor Longchang raised his hand several times, yet he could never bring himself to strike down.

“Enough, enough, this time it was my misjudgment,” Emperor Longchang sighed, the anger on his face receding, “Since you five little ones are so mischievous, I have decided to give you a small punishment as a lesson.”

“Come, lock them in cages, set up a small Isolation Array Method, and find two, no, ten eunuchs to take turns guarding them. They must not be out of sight for even a moment,” Emperor Longchang ordered, “Starve them for five days, no, three days will do.”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” the eunuchs immediately bowed and took their leave, beginning to search for suitable cages to carry out Emperor Longchang’s orders.

“The cages must not lack water, and they must be lined with soft silk,” Emperor Longchang added another instruction, then left with a dark face to head to Zhuozheng Pavilion.

He could no longer bear to stay in the devastated Imperial Garden.

It pained his heart, it was frustrating, just looking at it was uncomfortable.

It wasn’t until two full days later that Emperor Longchang’s depressed mood had somewhat recovered, and the anger towards the little wolf pups had subsided quite a bit; he began to miss them again.

Having starved for two days, they should be much more well-behaved now, right?

Early that day, Emperor Longchang once again went to the Imperial Garden to visit the little wolf pups.

“We greet Your Majesty.”

Upon seeing Emperor Longchang, the eunuchs on duty rushed to pay their respects.

“Are the five little ones behaving?” Emperor Longchang asked with his hands clasped behind his back.

In the midst of speaking, his gaze swept over the specially constructed wolf den. Seeing that the railings were intact and the Isolation Array Method in good condition, his heart instantly felt more at ease.

The five little ones obediently stayed inside the wolf den, their butts seated on the cushion, their backs straightened, their eyes looking forward without distractions, their movements neat and uniform.

Upon seeing Emperor Longchang, a look of longing and excitement appeared in their eyes as they stuck out their tongues and “panted woefully,” even their silvery-gray fur seemed to flutter joyfully.

“Reporting to Your Majesty,” the eunuchs quickly answered, “We have followed Your Majesty’s decree without shifting our gaze for a moment, and the five little wolf pups have all been good, never leaving the den.”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Longchang immediately became overjoyed and, with a bit of showiness, said to Old Yao, “What did I say, Old Yao? These little ones are naturally well-behaved; they just have a bit of mischief and need careful guidance.”

“Somebody, release them. They are still young, at their most active age; having been confined for two days, they must be feeling stifled,” Emperor Longchang said, his heart aching a little as he couldn’t bear it. “I will take them out for a stroll, to relax a bit.”

The imperial craftsmen worked quickly, and in just two days they had repaired most of the damaged Imperial Garden. At least on the surface, it looked almost the same as before. However, those precious exotic plants appeared “slimmer” and wouldn’t regrow to their original state any time soon.

Emperor Longchang walked around the Imperial Garden with the five little ones, occasionally teaching them to recognize some of the expensive varieties, while continuously lecturing them, “You can play anywhere you like in the garden, but if you randomly cause destruction, you will suffer again.”

He appeared so patient, truly resembling a kind old master.

The five little ones were also obedient, listening attentively and nodding repeatedly. They even occasionally urinated, irrigating the exotic flowers, as if apologizing for their past misdeeds.

“Very good, very good, indeed you haven’t let me down with my instructions,” Emperor Longchang was greatly comforted and very satisfied.

After strolling with the five little ones, he simply took them to Zhuozheng Pavilion. There were still some governmental affairs to handle today, and having the company of the five little ones would make his mood lighter.

In the evening, Emperor Longchang handled some tricky state affairs and looked up to see the five little ones sitting obediently within Zhuozheng Pavilion.

They lay or sat, or simply leaned against the emperor’s leg to sleep, not one of them causing any trouble.

At that moment, Emperor Longchang’s heart was warm, feeling that his training of the five little ones was quite effective.

If he’d known earlier how fun and healing Silver Moon Grey Wolves were, he would have ordered the Desert North Barbarian Tribe to contribute a few to him sooner.

In this cozy atmosphere, time quickly passed by. Before they knew it, it was time for the evening meal.

The eunuchs went to the imperial kitchen to bring Emperor Longchang’s dinner.

As the Transcendent Emperor, Emperor Longchang’s physical functions were naturally extremely robust. With a single step, he could stabilize mountains, and with one punch, shatter peaks. To maintain such a strong physical body, his daily consumption was naturally not small.

Even though he was older and had long stopped pursuing breakthroughs in strength, the demand for replenishment of blood and spiritual energy remained very high. Besides needing to eat advanced Spirit Meat and Spirit Food to replenish blood and moisten the flesh, he also needed to regularly consume and refine the Rank Six Spirit Yuan Treasure Pills made from Heaven and Earth Treasures.

Otherwise, simply meditating and absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy was hardly enough to maintain his formidable strength.

After all, the stronger the body, the faster the metabolism, and the greater the daily consumption of blood and spiritual energy. Without adequate replenishment, there might not be an issue in the short term, and the stored energy in his body could last a long time. But if denied sufficient long-term replenishment, the Profound Martial cultivator’s body would gradually decline and eventually exhaust.

Take Emperor Longchang’s dinner today, for example, which required the leg and spine meat from a Level Five Snow Pattern Spirit Meat Cow.
