hao ren walked over glazed with moonlight, he did not look any worse than some movie stars and his eyes were akin to that of a king. he smiled as he neared the group and bowed as he said, "i apologize, i was playing with the wolves." xia yulei walked over and grabbed his ear. the young man winced and wailed, "oww, teacher, i am sorry." xia yulei scolded him, "what do you mean by playing with the wolves, you gave me a scare of my life." hao ren replied, "but they are really friendly, or do you think i would be able to come back in one piece. i can call them over if you want me to." xia yulei let him go and frowned, when ye yue said, "okay, okay, forget it. isn't he back yet? look at our savior pt teacher, do we need to rush to a hospital?" hao ren recalled that he sealed the spirit points and he waved his hand to unseal. the next moment, salem woke up with a start. the crowd dispersed and the forest fell silent. hao ren found a boulder and sat there, before he sensed a movement behind him. he knew that it was han lingshi, and he still turned around and he was shocked, the young lady was looking at him with tears in her eyes. hao ren quickly got down the boulder and he asked worriedly, "what happened? are you hurt?" han lingshi shook her head and then she threw herself in his arms as she bawled. she was scared by the sudden wolf attack, the raging thunder, and then his disappearance. the young man could sense all this and he stood there silently patting her back. he took a deep breath and after han lingshi calmed down, he let go of her. han lingshi realized what she did and broke the hug and turned away to hide the blush on her face. hao ren said, "don't worry, the boulder cast a shadow and nobody saw it. thank you for caring about me, and i am sorry to have made you worry. i will be careful next time." han lingshi nodded, and said, "good night." hao ren wished her back and his gaze followed her till she entered her tent in the center of the camp. the young man took a deep breath and jumped back on to the boulder. he did not feel like sleeping or sitting inside the tent to cultivate. the tribulation has just passed at the sky was clear. hao ren looked at the stars, thinking about the world that he left behind. even though he knew that he can go back to that world once he has won the heart of his wife again, he still wondered if the people left behind were fine. as he was gazing at the stars, a few wolves moved around the camp and came close to him despite the fire torches and sat down on the ground. hao ren did not shoo them away, and they did not make any fuss either. ... in the morning, salem saw the scene of a young man sitting on the boulder with a group of wolves around him sleeping as peacefully as if they were house dogs. he gulped in a mouthful of saliva. following him the others also woke up and they saw the scene only to be stunned. han lingshi sighed and mumbled, "this guy said he would not let me worry again and look at him now." salem was surprised and confused as he asked, "bare handed? ho..." explore more stories at empire as he was about to say how, hao ren stood up with a medium size fish in his hands. he tossed the fish to the bank, and saw the wolves standing up. he said, "be patient, i will catch for you as well." the wolves all licked their lips and sat down again, but their eyes did not leave the fish. hao ren caught fish at a frightening pace. in twenty minutes, he caught ten fish, on an average one per minute. salem also went inside the stream, but he did not grab even one after such a long time. he was close but eight times the fish evaded him, they were just that slippery. hao ren fished for an hour, and then he picked up ten fishes, threw them to the wolves and then came to the side with his knife. he prepared the fish and began to skewer them with wooden sticks to roast them with some honey and seasoning herbs. the people all gathered over, even the ones that went out to trek came back, and began to eat. han lingshi looked at the people and frowned. she looked at hao ren who took the last fish for himself and said, "hao ren, you have done so much for us, how can you be so selfless?" hao ren shook his head and replied, "i am fishing for compliments from everyone. nothing in this world is for free." the people were surprised but then they all chuckled and han lingshi smiled as she said, "you are the best chef." hao ren bowed and said, "thank you. what else shall i do for you?" one girl wanted to say something when han lingshi cut her off, "how about you sing a song for us?" the people cheered, the girl who was cut off was cursing han lingshi internally but whatever, who cares about the side characters? the young man took a deep breath and heard a notification, *ding: sing a love song. look at your wife no more than two times while doing it.* hao ren sighed and said, "fine." everyone became focused, and hao ren began to sing. his voice was mellow, and it was filled with longing. he sang about love, and the people could see him dancing with a girl. during the chorus hao ren cast a gaze to han lingshi before he closed his eyes. he used the counting meter to make sure that this glance was counted, and again when the chorus came, he looked at han lingshi. this made the girl feel as if her heart was in her mouth. thankfully, the song came to an end, because had the young man looked at her once more, she would have fainted. in her mind, she thought, 'why was he looking at me? what did i do? could it be he has a crush on me? shit, what are you even thinking about, bah, bah, bah..'
