Of course, Li Shen was about to nod when the brown-black wolf beastman firm voice interrupted from behind him.
"Captain, that can wait until tomorrow. It's late already, and the kid's been wandering in the forest. Let him rest for now."
Li Shen's heart swelled at that unexpected kindness.
While Li Shen was too moved to speak, the golden wolf beastman let out a heavy, reluctant sigh.
"You think I want to keep him up? I'd love to let him sleep. But what if there's someone out there looking for him right now? That's why I'll only ask the bare minimum, quick and simple, and then it's over. I'm sorry, really. I know you're exhausted, but could you hang on just a little longer?"
"Ah, no, it's fine. I just slept thanks to you, so I'm feeling much better. I also… I have things I want to ask as well…"
But as the words left his mouth, Li Shen realized something.
He still didn't even know where he was.
"Um—um! Excuse me! Where is this place?"
