Wolf-Raised Cub with a Space: Surviving the Disaster Years

On days when she didn’t have to go to the private academy, Shen Ningning didn’t want to stay idle at home.

Every day, she made a trip to Xiangyun Village, bringing some fresh vegetables and meat for the village women to cook into meals.

Afterwards, she would store it all in her Immortal Realm.

Shen Ningning’s guess had been correct. Cooked dishes placed inside wouldn’t spoil, even after two or three days.

For this purpose, she cleared a shelf in the kitchen hall of her Immortal Realm, lining it with fragrant and delicious dishes.

In the future, if she got hungry at the academy at night, she could just grab a plate and eat.

She had gone to the village several times, spending forty taels to have the women help cook.

Adding that to the wages she had already paid out, Shen Ningning now had three hundred and eighty taels left.

The little one felt like she had more money than she could ever spend.

While living a good life herself, she didn’t forget to nourish all of Wolf Mountain.

The weather grew hotter and hotter. She rode the Black Wolf King under the blazing sun, leading the pack on a run through the mountains.

Shen Ningning went to check on the few Spiritual Springs she had previously coaxed out.

Wherever the Spiritual Spring water flowed, the surrounding trees and plants grew exceptionally lush and tall!

The Black Wolf King sniffed the soil by the stream’s edge and let out a soft AWOO toward Shen Ningning.

He was telling her that animals like deer and squirrels had been here.

Shen Ningning nodded in satisfaction. "With something to drink, they won’t have to worry about dying of thirst!"

On such hot days, a water source was crucial.

But food was just as important.

So, riding the Black Wolf King, the little one and her pack left a basket of meat and fruit wherever they went.

She also scattered pear tree seeds she had brought from the Immortal Realm.

The Spiritual Spring would gradually moisten the soil of the entire Wolf Mountain, allowing the seeds to slowly sprout.

While they certainly wouldn’t grow as fast as those watered by the spirit rain in her Immortal Realm, she believed that in half a year, the pear trees on the mountain would surely bear sweet fruit!

As long as the animals in the mountains could gradually get enough to eat, their home wouldn’t attract other wild beasts.

「That night.」

Grandma Qin was already asleep. Shen Ningning lit a lamp and read, listening to the chirping of crickets outside the window.

The mad scholar taught so much that the little one liked to pull out her notes and review them whenever she had time.

Past midnight, Shen Ningning yawned, her watery eyes clouded with sleepiness.

She washed up and had just lain down on her bed.

When she heard the fierce roars of the wolf pack from the main gate in the distance.

"Is that Langlang’s voice?!" She instantly recognized the Black Wolf King’s cry.

She immediately threw off her covers, slipped her feet into her shoes, and ran outside.

As soon as she reached the front courtyard, she saw the pack had Lang Si completely surrounded.

A terrifying, low growl rumbled in the Black Wolf King’s throat. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Lang Si was so scared he was prostrate on the ground, whimpering nonstop.

Shen Ningning hurried over. "What’s going on! Why are you fighting!"

Her arrival made the pack slowly part ways.

But the moment Shen Ningning drew near, the Black Wolf King blocked her path.

"AWOO~" He wouldn’t let her get closer, telling her it was dangerous.

Confusion filled Shen Ningning’s watery eyes as she looked at Lang Si.

She saw Lang Si shift his chubby body slightly, only then revealing a small, white-furred she-wolf cowering behind him!

If not for the wolf’s easily recognizable ears, Shen Ningning would have mistaken it for a dog.

It was so thin, and it trembled all over, its tail tucked between its legs in fear from the Black Wolf King’s roars.

When Lang Si saw Shen Ningning, it was as if he had seen his savior.

He whimpered, forcing the sound from his throat.

"You’re saying you want to keep her?" the little one asked.

Lang Si nodded repeatedly.

The Black Wolf King let out an furious howl, filled with intimidating ferocity.

He would not allow this she-wolf to be taken in.

The current pack was mostly composed of the Black Wolf King’s own offspring, his siblings, and their descendants.

It was a family.

A wolf pack demanded absolute submission.

And this lone wolf from the outside was very likely to do things that went against the pack’s ways.

Like harming Shen Ningning or attacking Grandma Qin.

Therefore, the Black Wolf King would absolutely not harbor such a dangerous element.

But Lang Si continued to whimper and plead.

Earlier today, he had snuck out and secretly eaten a few of the chicken legs Shen Ningning had left out for other wild animals.

Then, he discovered this timid she-wolf behind a large tree.

Perhaps because white-furred wolves were rare, Lang Si immediately offered his food to her.

After she had eaten her fill, he decided to take advantage of the night to bring her back.

The Black Wolf King’s eyes were chilling as he stared at the she-wolf. At his command, the pack would surge forward and tear the white wolf to pieces!

Shen Ningning reached out her small hand and repeatedly smoothed the Black Wolf King’s fur.

The black fur on his back stood on end with anger. Under the moonlight, his yellow eyes glowed; anyone else would have been scared to death at the sight.

But the little one just kept comforting him. "There, there, Langlang, don’t be angry. Lang Si might be greedy, but Grandma is especially fond of him."

Wolf Three snorted from the side—

’It’s just because that fatty loves to act spoiled!’

For Shen Ningning’s sake, the Black Wolf King didn’t continue to menace Lang Si.

The little one looked at the white she-wolf and saw that she was also looking back, trembling.

Her beautiful, emerald-green eyes were filled with confusion and fear.

Shen Ningning took a closer look at her.

She saw that the wolf had injuries on her hind legs and belly from fighting.

The wounds had already scabbed over, but there were still dark bloodstains on her beautiful white fur.

’She must have suffered a lot out there.’

Shen Ningning hesitated for a moment.

Her voice was soft and gentle. "Langlang is the head of this family. If he says we can’t take her in, I won’t force him to change his mind."

After all, the Black Wolf King’s authority had to be preserved.

She couldn’t just ask him to change his decision on a whim because her heart softened.

Lang Si let out a sorrowful whine.

Wolf Three ran over and stepped on his tail, telling him to be quiet so he wouldn’t disturb Grandma Qin’s rest.

The white she-wolf lowered her gaze dejectedly, stood up limping, and prepared to leave the residence.

Shen Ningning couldn’t help but add in her gentle voice, "But you can live near our house. You don’t have to go far."

"I’ll have Lang Si bring you food and fresh water every day, so you won’t go hungry."

The white she-wolf looked back and blinked slowly at Shen Ningning, as if to say thank you.

Then she left the residence, her figure disappearing into the dark night.

Lang Si wanted to see her off, but the Black Wolf King pinned him down with a single paw.

’How did I end up with such a useless son!’

’He can’t even think straight when he sees a pretty she-wolf.’

’Pathetic!’

The furious Black Wolf King bit a tuft of fur off Lang Si’s neck.

Shen Ningning quickly hugged his head. "Langlang, you’re not allowed to be angry! If Grandma sees Lang Si is bald tomorrow, won’t she be worried?"

The Black Wolf King stopped tormenting Lang Si. He nudged Shen Ningning onto his back with his head and carried her back to her room to rest.

The rest of the pack hurried to follow, afraid they’d be too late to get a spot.

Every night, they had to sleep on the floor of Shen Ningning’s room. Those who couldn’t grab a good spot had to sleep by the door.

Since Lang Si had angered the Black Wolf King today, he didn’t even get the spot by the door and had to sleep in the courtyard.

「The next day.」

True to her word, Shen Ningning had Wolf Three carry a bucket of meat outside the residence.

Lang Si also brought over the fruit and a large pork bone he had saved for himself.

The Little White Wolf had spent the night curled up in a corner behind the residence.

When she saw them bringing food, she wolfed it down. It was clear she had been starving!

After she finished eating, she even pushed the wooden bucket back on her own.

For the next two days, the Little White Wolf obediently ate her food and didn’t wander far.

「Early on the third day.」

Shen Ningning felt that she had observed the Little White Wolf’s good behavior long enough. ’I can probably convince Langlang to let her join us now.’

However, before she even got out of bed, she heard Wolf Three’s urgent howls from outside!

That was the signal for a pack attack!

The little one rushed over at once. "What’s happening?!"
