Good heavens, could this Wolf King be a time traveler from ancient times? But if he walked out looking like this, people would definitely mistake him for a period drama actor or a cosplayer, right?
Whatever, even if they think he's crazy, it's none of my business.
With that thought, Qiqi puffed out her chest and lifted her chin high.
The Wolf King saw the girl gripping a stick with both hands, looking so tense it seemed like all her fur was about to bristle, and couldn't help finding it a bit amusing.
What was this foolish woman trying to do? Use a broken stick as a gun?
But he had just eaten and was in a better mood, and after all, she was his lifesaver, so he cupped his hands and said, "May I ask for the young lady's name?"
"Gu Qiqi."
Her mouth answered before her brain could react, and Gu Qiqi wished she could slap herself!
Was it okay to casually answer questions in front of a monster? She had to be careful not to fall into his trap, get entangled by him, and be doomed for eternity!
She silently scolded herself for being lovesick, yet the corner of her eye caught the Wolf King's lips curving slightly—was he smiling?
Hey, that smile was so alluring and seductive~
Oh well, with a man this stunning, it was fine to swoon a little now and then!
Qiqi easily forgave herself.
That handsome smile only flickered for a moment before vanishing.
He cupped his hands and said politely, "Thank you, Miss Qiqi, for saving my life. I've indeed disturbed you here, so I should take my leave."
As he spoke, he fumbled in his chest for a while, then, finding nothing, pulled the jade pendant from his waist: "For saving my life, I ought to repay you generously, but I came to this world in haste and couldn't prepare a proper gift... This is the king's token of the wolf clan. Though not valuable, please accept it as a token of my gratitude! Until we meet again!"
Without waiting for a reply, he shoved the jade pendant into Qiqi's hand, then flicked the hem of his black robe and strode straight out the door!
Gu Qiqi was momentarily stunned, unable to adjust to the violent demon man suddenly transforming into a refined gentleman.
The Wolf King quickly passed her, went outside, crossed the courtyard, and reached the gate.
Qiqi's home was a small courtyard house, and since she lived alone, she had installed a high-quality security door.
The Wolf King stopped, hesitating slightly before the door.
Qiqi was wondering what he intended to do when she heard a "crack," and the lock shattered!
Then, with an air of casual elegance, he opened the door, glanced left and right, and his figure vanished with a "whoosh" behind the wall.
The wooden stick in Gu Qiqi's hand fell to the ground with a "thud," and her expression was utterly disheveled.
After a long moment, she rushed to the door to check, but the moment her hand touched the lock, the metal object instantly crumbled into a pile of dust, carried away by the wind!
Seeing the gaping hole in the door handle, she turned back to look at the big hole in the living room ceiling and finally couldn't help roaring at the sky—
You violent, damn demon man!
If you don't know how to unlock a door, why didn't you ask me to open it for you?
Would it kill you to call me? Would it?!
Do you have any idea how much a security door costs?! How much!!!!!
That fierce surge of resentment shot into the sky, making the handsome man strolling leisurely in the alley shiver. He stopped, turned to look back at the small courtyard at the end of the lane, shook his head, and a smile curled at the corner of his lips.
