Chapter 18
Absurd! The Owner Shows Up!

In the courtyard, bathed in moonlight, a pack of wolves surrounded the area.

The alpha wolf was entirely white, with a ring of pale gold fur around its neck, giving it an especially handsome appearance.

It was staring at Lin Fan, who was walking out of the house.

The live stream's barrage of comments instantly exploded.

“Holy crap! A pack of wolves! Damn! Where did they come from? I'm getting chills!”

“What kind of wolves are they? The alpha is freaking awesome!”

“Dude, you're worried about the breed of wolf right now? This is serious! Lin Fan is toast! This is a pack of wolves!”

“Hold on, Lin Fan! I already called the cops!”

“Hold on? Easy for you to say! By the time the cops get here, Lin Fan's grave will be three feet high!”

“We can announce the feast in advance! With that many wolves, no one can help!”

“A Bao, run! Don't care about your master! This isn't the time for loyalty!”

“I agree! A Bao, don't get hurt! You're the only Kung Fu Panda in the world! You're not just a national treasure, you're a world treasure!”

“Hmm? Kung Fu Panda? Do you guys think A Bao can fight off the wolf pack?”

“Are you freaking dreaming? It’s a pack of wolves! Dozens of them!”

“So scary! How can there be a wolf pack? How did they get into the courtyard?”

...

How did the wolf pack get into the courtyard?

This was the same huge question that filled Lin Fan's mind right now.

Wolves generally don't actively invade human settlements.

Especially not when there's firelight.

Unless it was a pack of starving wolves, desperate enough to attack, regardless of the consequences.

But looking at them now, each wolf was incredibly strong.

The alpha, especially, had an aura that was far from starving.

What exactly caused this wolf pack to appear here?

With this deep question in mind, Lin Fan stepped out of the wooden house and into the courtyard.

“Awooo!”

The alpha's howl was full of warning.

Lin Fan, with his jade pendant, could communicate with animals without any barriers.

He understood what the alpha was warning him about.

Alpha Wolf: "Stop!"

Lin Fan stopped, spread his hands, signaling that he meant no harm.

“This is my place! You're trespassing on my territory!”

He was trying to communicate with the alpha.

“Awooo!” (Give back, my thing.)

The alpha's voice was low and powerful.

???

Lin Fan was stunned.

What?

The alpha wants him to give back something?

Give back what?

When did I take your thing?

Is the alpha confused?

“I didn't take your thing, you're mistaken! Please leave my territory!”

Hearing Lin Fan's words, the live stream viewers all turned to stone.

“What the hell?! Lin Fan can actually talk to wolves? I thought he could only talk to pandas!”

“Look at him, he's actually negotiating with the alpha? I'm speechless!”

“Is he that badass? He dares to negotiate with wolves and tell them to leave? I'm getting weak in the knees just watching!”

“No, you guys are missing the point! Listen to Lin Fan, it seems like the reason the wolf pack is here is because Lin Fan took something of theirs?”

“Took something from the wolves? Getting chased to get it back? Wow, this is getting interesting! I need to grab a drink!”

......

The barrage of comments in the live stream had no impact on the tense atmosphere in the courtyard.

Lin Fan's words directly caused the alpha wolf to arch its back.

This was clearly anger.

“Awooo!” (I, smell, scent!)

???

Lin Fan was baffled.

The alpha says it smells a scent?

What scent?

There's nothing here that smells like… wait, crap!

Blood Ginseng!

The next second, Lin Fan's mind suddenly became clear.

It must be because of the Blood Ginseng's strong medicinal fragrance!

But, wait, why does the alpha say give back its thing?

Meaning the Blood Ginseng is theirs?

This Blood Ginseng was clearly a gift from A Bao, how could it belong to the alpha, that makes no sense!

Wait a minute!

Could it be that A Bao stole the Blood Ginseng from the wolf pack?!

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Fan's eyes widened.

He couldn't help but look towards A Bao, who was just climbing out of the house.

“Yng Yng…” (Beat, beat wolf.)

As soon as A Bao came out and saw the wolf pack, it immediately got angry.

Lin Fan: !!!

His heart sank. A Bao's reaction, could it be that he knew this wolf pack?

“A Bao, was that Blood Ginseng theirs?”

“Yng Yng…” (Wolf, bully, me.)

“So, you took their Blood Ginseng?”

“Yng Yng…” (Wolf, bad, grow ground.)

“Awooo!” (My, territory, guard, thing, give out!)

Lin Fan: …

He finally understood.

Damn it, the Blood Ginseng really belonged to the wolf pack!

The wolf pack had bullied A Bao before, so A Bao directly stole the Blood Ginseng they were guarding in their territory, and gave it to him as a gift for becoming his master!

And he wanted to increase the value of the Blood Ginseng, using the Spirit Liquid to re-cultivate it.

This caused the Blood Ginseng to greatly increase its medicinal effects, emitting a strong medicinal fragrance.

And wolves' sense of smell is incredible.

They can smell things six to ten kilometers away!

They smelled the Blood Ginseng's fragrance, so they came to find it!

Damn!

Lin Fan, having figured out the situation, was dumbfounded.

The live stream viewers were even more dumbfounded, as if they were listening to a tall tale.

“What? The Blood Ginseng was stolen from the wolf pack by A Bao? Am I hearing this right? Damn, that's ridiculous!”

“I'm stunned! So, this is the owner coming to get it back?”

“Wolves: Hello, police? Someone stole something! Who stole it? A panda who knows kung fu!”

“Wait! You guys missed the point! The point is, the wolf pack bullied A Bao! That's why he stole the Blood Ginseng!”

“Because he was bullied by the wolf pack, he stole their Blood Ginseng and gave it to Lin Fan as a gift for becoming his master? Using someone else’s gift? My mind is blown!”

“I think it makes sense! They bullied A Bao, so they deserve to have it stolen!”

“Yeah! They bullied A Bao, who’s so cute, they deserved to have it stolen!”

“Damn, you guys have no principles… alright, I think A Bao did great too!”
