It seemed to see the Little Princess's fear, so Qiao'er held the little white wolf and pushed it forward.
"Princess, it doesn't bite people, it's very well-behaved! Would you like to touch it?"
The little white wolf looked very handsome, though a bit dirty, upon closer inspection, it was indeed white.
Its pair of eyes were dark and bright, looking at her with an innocent and pitiful expression.
Yun Chunnuan thought of her own big golden retriever, and her heart softened instantly.
She was a bit hesitant to touch the little white wolf's head and tentatively touched its front paw.
Who knew, with an 'awoo' sound, the little white wolf's instinctive defense caused its sharp teeth to cut Yun Chunnuan's finger.
Right at the fingertip, where there were two circular spots...
Blood beads instantly welled up and dripped onto the little white wolf's fur on its front paw.
It whimpered, feeling aggrieved and frightened.
Qiao'er slapped its head angrily, "You little thing, are you crazy? How could you bite someone?!"
Worried, Qiao'er threw aside the little white wolf and hurried forward to check the Little Princess's hand, "Oh dear! It's bleeding! If the General finds out, he will surely punish the servant! Boohoohoo!"
She glanced furiously at the little white wolf hiding in the corner, "Why are you so insensible! I'm trying to get the Princess to save you! How can anyone want to save you when you repay kindness with injury!"
Though she spoke harshly, Qiao'er couldn't bear to send the little white wolf back to Madam Jing.
Madam Jing was determined to kill it, and now that the little white wolf was gone, she would surely spread rumors to the General, saying the little white wolf was unlucky and would bring disaster to Bianliao!
Nonsense! It's all nonsense!
She just wanted to find a scapegoat for Ah Yang!
Unwilling to give up the little white wolf, Qiao'er could only wipe her tears helplessly and dared not ask the Little Princess again. She hurriedly grabbed a piece of cloth from the table, tore a strip, and wrapped the Little Princess's slender finger that was bitten.
"I'm sorry, Princess… If you don't want to save it… the servant will secretly send it away! But it's a pity, it's winter now, and with this fur color, it will be ostracized if it returns to the wolf pack, surely it won't survive! Boohoohoo, boohoohoo!"
Yun Chunnuan: "..."
The little maid was quite good at playing the victim.
But she had to admit, it worked.
Though she didn't understand wolves' habits, she had raised dogs.
They're all canines, probably not much different, right?
It was clear the little white wolf had no aggression toward her. The sudden bite must have been because she accidentally touched a sore spot?
Yun Chunnuan didn't say whether she would save it or not, just slowly approached and squatted in front of the little white wolf.
Its pair of black eyes were full of terror, not aggressive at all, but quite timid.
It seemed to be frequently abused.
"I won't hurt you." Yun Chunnuan's heart softened, and she tentatively reached out to touch its head.
The little white wolf blinked nervously but did not dodge, nor did it attack Yun Chunnuan again.
"Awoo…" it whimpered with grievance, then stuck out its tongue to lick its front paw.
Only then did Yun Chunnuan notice the long, deep wound on its front paw.
The fur around the wound was brown, probably because it had bled a lot, and it had licked it clean.
She was about to ask Qiao'er to fetch the antiseptic medicine and treat the little white wolf's wound.
Who knew, a magical scene unfolded before her eyes.
The little white wolf was licking the wound with its tongue, and the area it licked was actually healing visibly!
Yun Chunnuan was shocked.
She thought it might be like described in novels, where the little white wolf's saliva had some magical healing ability.
But when the tongue reached the lower part of the wound, it healed halfway and then stopped.
The wound did not heal altogether.
Yun Chunnuan stared at the scene, feeling puzzled.
"Princess, what are you looking at?" Seeing the Little Princess standing still, Qiao'er approached to check the little white wolf as well.
"Qiao'er, do white wolves have any magical abilities? Like… self-healing?"
"Self-healing?" Qiao'er blinked and saw the wound on the little white wolf's foot as well, "How could it be possible! If it could heal, how could it be injured so badly? Poor thing, surely Madam Jing beat it!"
Qiao'er caressed the little white wolf's head, pleading for it, "Princess, I didn't notice it was injured earlier, maybe you touched its wound, that's why it..."
"I understand." Yun Chunnuan focused on the little white wolf, suddenly her eyes sparkled, "Qiao'er, let's treat its wound first, can you fetch some antiseptic medicine?"
Qiao'er was overjoyed, "Okay, Princess! Thank you, Princess! The servant knew you were beautiful and kind-hearted!"
She cheered and ran out, not noticing the Little Princess's actions behind her.
Yun Chunnuan untied the cloth wrapped around her hand, seeing the wound hadn't healed, she forced out a drop of blood from the base of the finger and dripped it onto the little white wolf's wound.
An even more shocking scene unfolded!
Originally, she just held a magical idea to try it out.
Because after thinking carefully, the little white wolf indeed had no self-healing powers. This wound had been around for a while, if its saliva had such power, wouldn't it have healed long ago?
But that big wound indeed healed halfway right before her eyes!
There's no way she was seeing things or imagining it wrong!
Thinking deeply, its earlier action...
When licking the wound, it had licked the blood bead she had dripped onto its fur.
Yun Chunnuan had a novel idea, could it be her blood that had this ability?
After all, even something like crossing over happened to her, isn't having a strong Golden Finger not too much?
She also approached it with a try-and-see mindset, though she thought it sounded somewhat fanciful.
But!
When the blood bead dropped onto the wolf's wound, it quickly spread and covered the entire wound as if it had its own mind.
Right there under Yun Chunnuan's eyes… it healed!
Even... even fur grew back at that wound area!!!
Yun Chunnuan rubbed her eyes hard, noticing the little white wolf tilting its head, checked its wound, and then looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"What the heck!!!"
This discovery was more shocking to Yun Chunnuan than the beauty of the original owner!
She hugged the little white wolf's head and planted a big kiss, "You're really quite a treasure! Don't be afraid, from now on, this Princess will protect you!"
The little white wolf was quite empathetic.
It didn't know much else, but it knew it was the human girl in front who made the pain go away.
It stood up from the ground and happily wagged its tail, snuggling against Yun Chunnuan's feet.
"Awoo awooo~~~"
Its joyful howl was heard by Qiao'er who had returned with the medicine box and thought the little white wolf hurt again, rushing forward to apply the medicine.
"Qiao'er! Leave it there, I'll do it!"
Yun Chunnuan quickly stopped her, no longer letting Qiao'er see the little white wolf's wound.
She pointed to the torn cloth on the table, "Tear a strip for me, we'll bandage it."
When Qiao'er returned with the cloth strip, she found the little white wolf's leg almost covered in antiseptic...
