Chapter 109: Gentle Human x Fierce Wolf Beast 21

City C.

Bright sunlight poured down from above, and the buildings lining the streets were brimming with a futuristic vibe.

Jian Tong walked along the road, gazing at his hometown in memory, yet finding not a trace of familiarity.

“Time changes everything; the world is no longer the same.”

He wasn’t usually a sentimental man, but seeing this scene now filled him with a sense of melancholy.

Five hundred years was enough to change many things.

The home that the original owner had longed for was no longer what it once was. Even City C retained only its name, not its essence. All memories had been buried in the river of history.

Jian Tong walked slowly, wandering through his old haunts.

Li Xiao stayed close by his side, followed by four burly bodyguards.

They walked for a long time, so long that the ache in Jian Tong’s legs overshadowed the pain in his head.

Standing at the end of the street, Jian Tong turned back to look at the long road he had walked. It felt as though something in his mind was slowly dissipating.

For the first time in days, his mood was unexpectedly light.

The last trace of resentment from the original owner was gradually fading, allowing Jian Tong to feel both physically and mentally at ease.

“The past is gone; the future is yet to come.”

He took Li Xiao’s hand, saying, “Li Xiao, I won’t get sick anymore.”

Li Xiao enveloped Jian Tong’s fingers, intertwining them with his own in a possessive gesture.

“Mhm, shall we go home?”

The past was now a distant dream, and it was time to cherish the present.

Jian Tong looked up at the tall Li Xiao, a soft smile appearing on his jade-like face.

“Alright, let’s go home.”

He let Li Xiao lead him down another road, the two of them walking shoulder to shoulder, inseparable.

“Li Xiao, do you like watching dance performances?” Jian Tong asked with a smile, glancing at the wolf beast beside him.

Li Xiao pinched the soft flesh of Jian Tong’s hand. “If the dancer is you, then I like it.”

He was a rough man, not one for artistic pursuits, but if Jian Tong wanted to dance, he would undoubtedly be his most devoted audience.

Jian Tong looked at him for a moment, then said with a grin, “I’ll dance for you later, just for you. How does that sound?”

Li Xiao smiled and nodded. “Sounds good.”

His heart raced involuntarily, once again captivated by the elegant beauty before him.

Jian Tong tilted his head. “In the future, I’d like to reopen the family’s traditional Chinese medicine shop. It’s a way to return to my original path.”

“I’ve pursued my passion for dance, and now it’s time to return to reality and carry on my parents’ legacy.”

Li Xiao’s arm around Jian Tong tightened slightly, and he whispered in the young man’s ear, “Whatever you want, as long as it makes you happy.”

Jian Tong looked up at him, his smile radiant.

Li Xiao met Jian Tong’s dark eyes, which reflected fragments of dazzling light.

“Tongtong, from now on, I’ll be your family.”

He held Jian Tong’s hand, unable to resist bringing the pale fingers to his lips for a kiss.

“I’ll create many beautiful memories with you and stay by your side for the years to come.”

Jian Tong chuckled softly, the brilliant sunlight shining on him, making him appear soft and exceptionally striking.

The beastmen around them, seeing that smile, felt their restless hearts beat faster. If not for their fear of being beaten up by Li Xiao and the bodyguards, they would have already approached to strike up a conversation. The gentle and sweet young man was truly captivating.

Ahhh! Let go of that beauty and let me take his place!

Jian Tong and Li Xiao walked side by side, moving in sync along the unfamiliar street.

“Tongtong, do you want a wedding?”

“I used to want one, but now it doesn’t matter. Having you by my side is enough.”

“How can it not matter? Let’s have one~” Li Xiao wanted to publicly declare his claim. How could he let Jian Tong brush it off like that?

Jian Tong smiled softly. “As you wish.”

Li Xiao looked down at Jian Tong’s face, his brown eyes carrying a hint of danger and possessiveness.

So obedient. It made him want to do something mischievous.

He gently squeezed Jian Tong’s wrist, his voice deep and sultry. “Tongtong, let’s return to City A and hold a grand wedding.”

“I want to tell everyone that you’re mine.”
