Chapter 262.1: Soul Back in Place
“Are you alright?”
He was so cold his entire body was shaking, but that voice seems to bring him a sliver of warmth.
He struggled very hard to lift his head, and right before his eyes was a pair of clean white boots. Looking higher up, he saw the girl’s exquisite and adorable face, the expression on her face a little curious as she looked worriedly at him.
“Are you okay?” The young girl opened her mouth to ask.
She then reached a tiny hand out to push all the wolf corpses off him. For such a tiny person, she was really quite strong as the body of each and every single wolf was bigger than she was, but she was able to shift them all aside easily, to pull him out from there.
“It’s such a cold day today. How did you come running out to a place like this all on your own? Where do you live?” The young girl asked as she looked at him with wide eyed wonder.
He did not respond, but just fixed his dark black eyes upon the young girl in front of him, the expression on his face wary and guarded.
“What’s wrong? Is it because it’s too cold?”
The young girl had a pair of extremely beautiful eyes that were at that moment looking rather concerned, her smile warm, which felt like it was a sliver of sunshine that suddenly appeared in this incessant snow that had not stopped for many days.
Which caught him off guard and shone right into his heart.
“Let me take you home. What is your name?”
His cold indifference and wariness did not make the young girl become impatient with him. She stretched her fair and adorably small hand out before him and said: “Don’t be afraid. I am not a bad person. I will help you so just come along with me!”
He looked at her for a long while before he slowly came to offer his hand up to her.
But then, the young girl’s tiny palm felt even colder than his own hand that had turned icy cold from being in the snow for several days.
When he first touched her hand, he was surprised by the low temperature and he pulled his hand back in a snap.
The young girl seemed to have noticed it and she then retracted her hand quickly to rub her hands together, breathing her warm breath onto her palms intermittently. “Sorry about that. Because the techniques I am cultivating has some side effects, it makes my body temperature become cold like this. Give me a moment here, it won’t feel so cold after I give my hands a good rub…..”
However, in the very next second, he felt as if he was possessed as he reached out to hold her hand.
Met with the young girl’s puzzled eyes, his lips moved slightly and it was a long while before he managed to spit out three soft words: “I’m not cold.”
He had been living with the pack of wolves for so many years and had never once opened his mouth to say a single word, but he had not lost his ability of speech. It was because he had never met a human and there was no one for him to talk to.
Even if he did, they would be afraid of him and did not dare to speak to him.
This was the first time he was taking the initiative to speak to someone.
