It is indeed almost time for Lord Wolf King and Lady Wolf Queen to rest. Normally, even if they did not ask Zi Lan to come over, they would have come to see Zi Lan in person.
Zi Lan was still curled up in the room with a snow pear in her arms. The two fur balls, one big and one small, were curled together, both of them were laughing.
The Wolf King and the Wolf Queen did not come in person but asked Zi Lan to go over, which meant they were going to the study, which usually meant something important.
Zi Lan was still feeling reluctant to let go of the little ball of fur that he had worked so hard to roll. He hesitated and kept rolling it tightly, with his tail wagging.
Xue Li also heard what the wolf officer outside said.
She didn't want to separate from Zi Lan, but it sounded like something important, so she nudged him through her fur and said, "The Wolf Queen is calling you, why don't you hurry over?"
Zi Lan also knew it was not good not to go.
He moved reluctantly and said, "Then I'll go?"
"Um!"
The two were interrupted by the Wolf Officer when they were in the middle of a heated discussion, and they were really flustered.
Zi Lan reluctantly and slowly let go of Xue Li. He clearly felt Xue Li moving around in his arms just now, but as soon as he let go of the little fox ball, he saw that Xue Li was still tightly curled up, as if she had not moved at all.
Zi Lan didn't want to disturb the little fox. To get to the wolf king and queen, he had to stand up and transform into a human.
Zi Lan opened the door.
The wolf officer was standing outside the door, not knowing what was going on. He was overjoyed to see the young master coming out so quickly. He said in surprise, "Young master, are you okay? The Wolf King and the Wolf Queen are waiting. Let's go over there quickly."
But just as he finished speaking, he said "Huh" again and asked, "Young Master, why is your face so red?"
Zi Lan hurriedly turned her face away, put her finger on the bridge of her nose to cover it up, and pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay, it's a little hot in the room."
But after saying this, his face seemed to get even redder, and he just said, "Let's go."
The wolf officer naturally followed without any objection.
But having said that, Zi Lan kept looking back as he walked.
When he quietly turned around to look at Xueli, he saw that Xueli, who had originally curled up into a ball, also secretly poked her head out from her tail to look at him. But when Xueli met his gaze and realized that he was also looking at her, she was immediately frightened and quickly curled up again with a "woo" sound.
Zi Lan turned back in panic, but as soon as she turned back, her cheeks burned even more.
The Wolf Officer was originally chatting with Zi Lan about some things in the Wolf Palace, when he suddenly turned his head and saw Zi Lan's expression.
Wolf Officer: "Eh? Young Master, why is your face getting redder and redder?"
Zi Lan: "…My head is still a little hot, it will be fine if I let some wind blow."
Wolf Officer: “Oh.”
On the other side, Xue Li originally wanted to take a sneak peek at Zi Lan, but unexpectedly she was caught by the other party. The eye contact scared her so much that she buried herself again and didn't dare to come out for a long time.
But she couldn't hold it in anymore after a while, and she calculated that Zi Lan had already walked a long distance away from the wolf officer, so she reappeared.
She ran to the door and looked, and found that Zi Lan had indeed gone far away.
Xue Li ran around the room several times before she turned back into human form.
Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were full of spring, and her expression was flustered, yet also a little excited.
Xue Li touched her burning cheeks in panic, and when she saw that there was no one else around, she quickly ran back to her room.
Xue Li had been living in the Wolf Palace for a while. The interior of the residence arranged for her by the Wolf Queen looked more and more like the house Xue Li had lived in before. The shelves were filled with all kinds of herbs and doctors' utensils, and the scent of herbs filled the air as soon as one entered the house.
Normally, Xue Li should be practicing normally, but today, when she placed the herbs in front of her, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time and kept wagging her tail shyly for a long time.
…
At the same time, the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen called Zi Lan to the study because the twenty-eight tribes of star-controlling beasts were about to gather in the Wolf Palace to discuss important matters.
However, when the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen saw Zi Lan coming, they were also surprised by his expression.
The wolf queen was surprised and asked, "Lan'er, why is your face so red? You don't have a fever, do you?"
Zi Lan said embarrassedly: "No, it's just hot, don't worry, mother."
Speaking of this, Zi Lan couldn't help but think that the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen might have read his letter. Thinking that his parents had read the content of his confession to Xue Li, Zi Lan suddenly felt uncomfortable from head to toe. He was afraid that his parents would notice something, so he made his expression more upright.
"That's good."
The Wolf King and the Wolf Queen did feel that Zi Lan's attitude and expression were a bit strange, but fortunately they were not at the point where they could see through people's minds with just one look. Although they were suspicious, they did not ask any further questions. Instead, they were both comforted that Zi Lan could feel the heat.
Zi Lan was afraid that the wolf king and queen would continue to delve into this issue, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Dad, Mom, I wonder why you called me here?"
Hearing this, the Wolf Queen also got to the point: "Lan'er, you know that we are about to hold the Star Control Meeting. According to the time, the gods of several tribes should be here soon. We want you to go with us to pick them up. Most of them are the elders who held you in your arms when you were a child, and you should meet them."
Zi Lan was slightly surprised when he heard this.
He knew that the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen had already sent invitation letters to the Star-Holding Divine Beasts in each fairyland, and that the Star-Holding Conference should be held in the near future, but he did not expect that the other beasts would come so soon.
The twenty-eight star-holding beasts are of great importance in the entire fairy world. The gathering of all twenty-eight tribes of beasts is a great event. The Heaven is ruled by all the gods, so the gathering of all twenty-eight tribes of star-holding beasts to discuss matters is almost the same as the Heaven Assembly held once a hundred years.
As the young master of the Wolf Realm, Zi Lan naturally cannot be absent from such an occasion.
He hurriedly said, "Okay. Shall we go now?"
The wolf queen said, "No hurry, change into formal clothes first."
Formal meetings with gods from other fairylands require a whole set of complicated and solemn etiquette, which means that the meeting between the gods is different from the usual private communication. Although the wolf king and wolf queen did not inform Zi Lan too much in advance because he was recovering from his injuries recently and was afraid of disturbing his mind, they had already prepared the necessary preparations for Zi Lan long ago.
Of course, they had already picked out the formal clothes for Zi Lan to wear for the meeting.
Several wolf officers helped him put on the cumbersome formal uniform. At this time, Zi Lan's blush had faded, and his normal complexion was actually still a little sickly, but the style and color of this formal uniform were very bright, which immediately made him look more energetic. Zi Lan was already handsome, and now he looked even more elegant, like the breeze and bright moon.
The wolf queen was very satisfied and nodded, saying, "After all, he is our son, and he has grown up now. Let's go and pick him up."
The Wolf King and the Wolf Queen then took Zi Lan to the Wolf Palace to wait. Even though they were in their own fairy palace, for the sake of the formation and considering Zi Lan's health, the three of them still rode on the gorgeous fairy chariot.
All three of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and hundreds of wolf officers were lined up in two rows, which looked very majestic.
Soon, several fairy chariots appeared in the sky. They were also pulled by celestial horses and guarded by colorful birds. It was obvious at first glance that they were very solemn.
The fairy carriage landed on a wide flat stone ground. Those who got off the carriage were several gods and immortals from the Pegasus, Golden Dragon and Golden Dog tribes, as well as the accompanying immortal officials.
All twenty-eight tribes of divine beasts will gather together this time, and they are just the first few to arrive.
The God of the Golden Dog Clan was very sympathetic when he saw the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen. He immediately smiled and blinked at them. The Wolf King and the Wolf Queen also smiled, and there was an obvious sense of closeness between the two clans.
The Dragon King and the Dragon Queen of the Golden Dragon Clan were holding the confused Little Dragon Girl's hand. After they got off the fairy carriage and greeted the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen, they kept looking for which one was Zi Lan. When they saw the young master standing quietly behind the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen, they could hardly believe their eyes.
Zi Lan's eyes still carried the natural sharpness of the Snow Wolf Clan, and he was wearing a white fur coat, but he looked much healthier than before, without any abnormality. There were no other wolf officers around him, and it seemed that others were not as nervous about him as before.
The last time they saw Zi Lan was several years ago. They had heard that the young master Zi Lan practiced hard and spent a lot of effort to resist the cold. Most of the time, he looked like an ordinary person, but other people's reactions could not be faked. In the past, no matter where Zi Lan went, he would always bring at least one person to accompany him nearby.
The Dragon King and the Dragon Queen didn’t know to what extent Zi Lan had recovered, but the scene before them undoubtedly ignited a glimmer of hope in their eyes.
Everyone was invited into the house by the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the Dragon King immediately turned the topic to Zi Lan and said, "This... is Young Master Zi Lan, right?"
Zi Lan bows his head.
The Dragon King said with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, it has grown so big."
The Dragon Queen couldn't wait to ask, "Young Master's cold, has it been cured?"
The wolf replied, "The cold evil has been completely removed, but it still needs to recuperate and cannot stay outdoors for a long time. It should be completely fine within this month."
So, the rumors are indeed true.
The Dragon King and the Dragon Queen's eyes lit up.
The Dragon Queen then stroked the Dragon Girl's hair, pulled the little Dragon Girl to her front, and asked sincerely: "Wolf King, Wolf Queen, to be honest with you, I brought my daughter here this time specifically to meet Fairy Xueli. We also heard rumors about Fairy Xueli in the Dragon Palace. I heard that she was a disciple of Fairy Shaoyin..."
The Dragon Queen paused for a moment and said, "You all know my daughter's situation. I wonder if you can let us meet Fairy Xueli?"
Xue Li was not in the hall at this time.
Even though the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen already considered Xue Li as their half-daughter-in-law and fully intended to keep her in the Wolf Palace for a long time, this time they were receiving other divine beasts and kings as the Snow Wolf Clan, and Xue Li's identity had not yet been made public. The Wolf Queen had intended to introduce her to everyone solemnly when the Star Control Conference was held, so she did not call her over. When she heard the Dragon King and the Dragon Queen's request, she was stunned.
As soon as the Wolf Queen saw the Dragon King and the Dragon Queen coming with the sick Little Dragon Girl, she knew they might have something to ask for.
As parents, the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen could not possibly not understand the torment and helplessness of the Dragon King and the Dragon Queen.
The Queen of Wolves thought for a moment and said, "Fairy Xueli is not the medical fairy of the Wolf Palace, but our guest. I can certainly help introduce you, but I may not be able to cure you. It depends on what Fairy Xueli says. Moreover, today... we are a little too formal. Fairy Xueli is usually simple and frugal. We didn't prepare anything in advance. If we just invite her over, she may not feel comfortable. How about I find her a formal dress and ask her to come over for tea first?"
After hearing what the Wolf Queen said, the Dragon King and the Dragon Queen realized that they had been a little too abrupt because of their deep love for their daughter, and they hurried to thank the Wolf Queen.
The Wolf Queen then stood up, but at this moment, the Wolf Officer ran in in a panic!
"Lord Wolf King, Lord Wolf Queen, something bad has happened!"
That wolf official road.
The Wolf King recognized him as the immortal official who was responsible for leading the other gods coming to the Wolf Realm from afar. He was supposed to be on duty in the air, so he immediately asked, "What happened?"
The Wolf King thought for a moment and said, "There are carriages from several tribes of immortals, so they should have arrived by now."
"That's why something went wrong!"
The wolf officer said.
"The carriages of the Jade Rabbit God and the Pheasant God happened to meet at the same place, and both Gods brought their own princesses! As everyone knows, the Jade Rabbit and Pheasant tribes have been arguing over which tribe is more beautiful and which one is the most beautiful in the Nine Heavens in recent years. Now the two tribes have collided head-on and argued for a few sentences. Although it can't be considered a quarrel, the princesses of the two tribes started to compare with each other on the spot! Now the passing gods have gathered to watch, and a large section of the road to the Nine Heavens has been blocked!"
