Chapter 982: Will Be the Father
The child had bit through the skin on her wrist, it was even bleeding. Despite being small, this child was plenty vicious.
Ning Shu tucked the kid under her arm, then hunted down a few rabbits for dinner.
When she got back to the cave and Xuan Hongyu saw that Ning Shu had come back with such a big child after just one trip out, he asked mildly, “What’s with the child?”
Upon seeing a stranger, the child immediately started snarling at Xuan Hongyu. It was a strange sounding wolf cry since the voice was so young and immature.
“A wolf baby?” Xuan Hongyu smiled as he picked up the child. His eyes narrowed slightly. Who knew what he was thinking?
When the child ended up in Xuan Hongyu’s control, he started whimpering softly towards Ning Shu. His tone was very pitiful and it seemed like he was asking Ning Shu to save him.
“I heard that people who grow up drinking the milk of beasts have unusual innate skills.” As Xuan Hongyu spoke, he glanced towards the child’s lower half. “The general of Chen Nation is rumored to be a wolf baby as well.”
Chen Nation was a nation on the border of this nation. The two nations were similar in terms of power.

“Master, please allow this subordinate to look after this child instead. He’s still very wild.” Ning Shu couldn’t help but feel that Xuan Hongyu wasn’t up to anything good.
Xuan Hongyu lifted the child with both hands. “Alright, this prince has decided to raise this child! Let’s see what special abilities a wolf child possesses. In the future, I’ll have him fight a few rounds with Chen’s general.”
Ning Shu scratched at her hair: No…
Her plan had been to teach the child to be a bit more normal, then find a family for the child, not to have the child stay with the two of them.
However, Xuan Hongyu actually wanted to raise this child. Could it be that he wanted to raise this child to become a death soldier?
“Master, it’s really hard to raise a child. It’s better if we send the child away,” said Ning Shu. There was no need to raise this child into a death soldier. Xuan Hongyu didn’t have anything left right now and was even being hunted down by Xuan Xiaotian’s people.
He had no chances of turning the tide unless he went back to his fiefdom.
Ning Shu asked, “Master, are we heading to the fiefdom now?”
“There’s no hurry.” Xuan Hongyu set the child down on the bed and the child immediately crawled to the corner before turning to confront Xuan Hongyu. He leaned his body forward in an attack-ready posture.
Xuan Hongyu was actually very happy. “A child this little actually has such sharp senses.”
Ning Shu covered her forehead. She was starting to regret bringing this child back. She hadn’t expected Xuan Hongyu to be this interested in this child.
However, she had no plans to give the child to him. This child was unlucky from the start, so if he stayed with Xuan Hongyu, he’d only become more unfortunate. “Master, this subordinate will find a family for this child tomorrow. Master, it’ll be inconvenient to bring a child around with your identity.”
Xuan Hongyu lifted his brows as he looked at Ning Shu coldly. “Eleven, are you disobeying my instructions?”
“Eleven is simply thinking of your well-being, Master,” replied Ning Shu calmly. “Master, what kind of person do you want to raise him to be?”
“This prince has already said that this prince wants him to grow up to be like Chen’s general.” Xuan Hongyu looked displeased. It was clear that he was very unhappy with Ning Shu’s disobedience.
Ning Shu said, “But a child needs parents.”
“Parents? Then I’ll be this child’s father.” Xuan Hongyu grinned. It was clear that he was very interested in this child and was serious about raising him.
