Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 584 I am a Rabbit-Eared Clan 2

The huge, cold, hard, and blunt wolf claws reached out without warning.

Yun Chu closed her eyes in terror, her long ears pressed tightly against her small head, awaiting the tearing pain that might come.

However, the expected excruciating pain did not occur.

The powerful wolf claws did not use their claws, but rather used the edge of their almost soft paw pads with extreme precision to gently flick the flesh.

A sudden feeling of weightlessness washed over me!

Yun Chu let out a short, weak scream.

She was easily lifted up by an irresistible force, her delicate fur at the back of her neck gripped by some unimaginable, exquisite power, leaving her suspended in mid-air.

This height might be just carrying a small thing for You, but for Yun Chu, who is only the size of a palm, the ground suddenly seems unreachable, and all the tiny plants and trees seem to be magnified several times.

The wind swept past her, carrying the chilling scent lingering on her fur and a faint smell of blood, making her freeze like a stone, too afraid to move.

You's movements did not pause or hesitate in the slightest.

He didn't roughly pick her up or throw her down. Instead, he unexpectedly lowered his head and stuffed her into the thick, warm, and dry black hair on his chest!

"Woo..."

The sudden darkness and warmth made Yun Chu unconsciously hum a soft moan.

The world was isolated.

The howling wind stirred up by You's running outside, and the crashing sounds of his huge figure darting through the trees, were all blurred through a thick layer of fur.

Only the strong, steady beating of her heart, like the deep beat of a drum, resonated in her ears, causing her small body to tremble slightly.

This embrace was like a dark yet warm fortress, unexpectedly... non-aggressive?

But the body temperature and scent of an apex predator were so intense that she held her breath, her heart pounding wildly in her chest.

After an unknown amount of time, the bumpy ride stopped.

A cool, dry breeze blew in.

You pulled her out of her chest hair and gently placed her on the ground.

Eyes accustomed to darkness find it difficult to adjust to the dim light in the cave.

This is clearly a natural stone cave.

The entrance to the cave wasn't particularly large, just big enough for You's enormous beast form to barely bend over and pass through, but the interior was quite spacious and dry.

The cave walls bear traces of water erosion, and a thick layer of unknown dried grass and moss covers the corner, resembling a "bed".

Most noticeable are several smooth boulders piled up deep in the cave, next to which is the trace of an unextinguished stone stove, from which the lingering warmth of charcoal ash faintly emanates.

Although it was empty and simple, it was exceptionally clean, without any of the stench of wild beast caves. Instead, there was only the smell of soil, rocks, and dry plants, mixed with the unique, cold scent of You.

"Stay there and don't move around."

A deep, hoarse male voice suddenly rang out, carrying an unquestionable tone of command.

The sound struck Yun Chu's fragile nerves directly, making her shudder.

She looked up sharply at the sound and saw the enormous black wolf shadow slowly taking shape.

The massive bones emitted a faint, teeth-grinding, grinding, and compressing sound.

The swollen black hair receded back into the body like water, replaced by firm bronze skin and smooth, explosive human muscle lines.

In the blink of an eye, the enormous beast vanished, replaced by a tall, robust young man.

He was tall and imposing, with well-defined muscles that exuded a primal power, and wore only a rough animal skin skirt around his waist.

His hair was a pure, deep black, like the deepest night sky, short and stiff, standing upright.

Those eyes—just as sharp and cold as when they were in beast form, like black stone fragments at the bottom of a cold pool, showing little emotional fluctuation.

You casually pulled the medicine pouch hanging from her waist and put it aside. Without even glancing at the stiff Yun Chu, she turned and left the cave again.

Yun Chu was still in shock and dared not move. She could only curl up tightly in the corner that You had specified—behind a dry rock near his "bed".

The cold touch of the stone helped her regain a sense of reality from the chaotic fear.

The impact of those somber words was no less than the fear of facing the rotting jackals directly.

He can even speak Common Language!

It even...transformed?

A transformed adult male black wolf?

Yun Chu's little mind was in complete turmoil, a mixture of fear, doubt, a hint of relief at escaping death, and deeper anxiety.

A moment later, the light at the cave entrance dimmed, and You's figure reappeared.

He held several uniquely scented, verdant herbs in his hand as he walked towards Yun Chu, his tall figure casting a huge shadow in front of her.

"claw."

It was that same cold, emotionless command again.

Yun Chu trembled in fright, but still cautiously stretched out a small front paw, slightly scratched and covered in dirt from the previous escape and fright.

She could clearly see that her pure white downy hair looked even more frail and pitiful against the backdrop of her huge, rough, calloused hands.

You's hands, which looked like they could easily crush rocks, moved with unexpectedly meticulous movements.

He didn't look at her; he was focused on processing the herbs.

He crushed two blades of grass, and dark green sap seeped from his fingers, dripping onto her little paws, bringing a cool, plant-scented stinging sensation.

He then picked up another leaf with sticky sap, carefully wrapped his front paw, which was covered in medicinal juice, with the sticky leaf, and then tied it with a flexible grass stem to secure it.

He did the whole process extremely quickly and efficiently, even with an almost indifferent skill, without hurting her in the slightest.

After treating the scratches on her front paws, he gently brushed his fingers over another tiny scratch behind Yun Chu's soft ear, where a small tuft of fur was stuck together with blood.

He then gently pressed the leaf fragments mixed with the medicinal juice onto it again.

His fingers were cold, but the way he pressed on the wound carried a strange, steady strength.

Throughout, those deep, cold black eyes showed no emotion whatsoever, as if they were handling an ordinary object.

The wound was covered with cool herbs, and the pain was slowly suppressed.

Yun Chu mustered her courage and secretly glanced at You, who was close at hand and focused on processing herbs. Deep within the almost overwhelming fear in her heart, a faint sense of security finally seeped out—although this feeling was mixed with awe of You's powerful strength.

After finishing with the herbs, You got up to clean up the stains that might have gotten on her during the battle.

A suffocating silence fell over the cave once again.

The coolness from the herbs spread across the wound, and Yun Chu's heartbeat finally calmed down a little.

She nestled in a corner of the rock, stealing glances at the tall, silent figure.

He's very strong, and also... strange?

When attacked by the jackals, he was as violent as thunder; when he brought her back, he was as swift as the wind; when treating her wounds, he was surprisingly efficient and decisive yet expressionless; and now he is as silent as a stone.

Why would he appear alone in this dangerous depths of the forest?

Why would you save a completely unknown, worthless rabbit-like creature that can't even transform into human form?

Too many questions churned in her small chest.

for a long time.

Yun Chu tried to move her forepaws, which were wrapped in herbal leaves, and looked at You in the corner, who was silently polishing his weapon (he had taken out a very sharp bone dagger from somewhere). The silent figure looked exceptionally lonely in the dim light.

Taking a deep breath, as if summoning the greatest courage of her life, Yun Chu spoke cautiously to the retreating figure in her still weak and trembling voice:

"Thank...thank you for saving me. May I ask...your name?" Each word was spoken as if stepping on ice, light and trembling.

The action of wiping the bone dagger paused.

You slowly turned around, her cold gaze once again locking onto the small tuft of white fur in the corner.

The gaze was still sharp, even carrying a scrutinizing pressure, but it seemed to have lost some of the original pure unfamiliarity and coldness.

He showed no expression, only uttering a single, deep, and powerful syllable:

"quiet."
