The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time Chapter 39
Advertisement
"Urghh… gwuahhh…ahh...graaa..."
Suddenly in a hidden place within one of the rare unoccupied cave that hasn't been made as a territory of some beast, there is currently a group of wolves that was surrounding a person figure that can only helplessly lay down in the ground, which if a person was taking a closer look will letting out a breathy gasp of horror because that person doesn't have the appearance of what a human should look like anymore.
Inside the deep cave, the thick smell of blood scent continues to spread around the place, unable to completely dissipate which is making the group of wolves to have become more bloodthirsty and violent toward the person that lay on the ground.
And soon the noise of a chewing sound along with the crunching bones has soon echoed out at the abnormal bloody place which was quickly followed by a bloodcurdling scream and a howl of unimaginable pain that continues to reverberate for a long time before finally turning silent, which only the sound of weak breathing resound.
Finally unable to have enough strength to even let out a tiny sound of protest and a scream of pain, the person just lay there with empty eyes, completely have been broken apart.
And the entire time, a small and thin figure wearing a thin dirty white robe which was the sole evidence of how much hardship and suffering he has experienced in the past few days, just remain calm as he sat a few distances away from the situation happening.
Completely remaining indifferent as Shao Cheng watches in disinterest and a rather detaches manner about the whole cruel ordeal before him.
The gruesome, inhuman and bloody scene has never once caused a single ripple to appear on his cold heart that has long been numb, sometimes forgetting the importance of life because of what he has experience in two lifetimes.
After all, his heart has always been small that only a few can enter it from the start, so to make Shao Cheng feel even a tiny bit of sympathy and pity to an enemy that has wanted to kill him in a rather humiliating way is a bit ridiculous idea.
Especially to a person that aspired to do an immoral act to Ren Yuan that has become his special companion after being together with him every single day when he has lived like a ghost after dying in a previous life.

So, really, his answer is no, Shao Cheng doesn't feel anything from what he just witness, in fact, he just came here to release some of his anger which was just too late already since Ren Yuan traitor friend has already lost his mind when he arrives.
Probably witnessing the way the wolves have used his subordinates to snack on during the Snowstorms has caused his mind in great turmoil that he wasn't able to handle it, which Shao Cheng has rather told the big wolf leader to make Peng Pao watch the death of his people which will soon be his turned after all of them has died.
Who would have thought that the traitorous bastard has a rather weak will and was unable to handle the mental torture as he succumbs to the pressure so easily? This man really has the courage to betray Ren Yuan?
Suddenly Shao Cheng couldn't help but feel sorry for Ren Yuan for having such rotten subordinates and friends, which he decided to check them absolutely later on and keep watching them continuously.
He couldn't allow another repeat of Peng Pao to happen in the future once again.
"...now then should I go back?"
After all, Shao Cheng has been here for at least an hour now the two people that he left in that cave are probably worried right? Or maybe not? Anyway, Shao Cheng is still rather worried about some unexpected situation happening that will cause Ren Yuan in great danger while he is away.
Although he was brimming with cold anger toward Ren Yuan for pulling such a bad joke, nonetheless, what can Shao Cheng do but helplessly forgive Ren Yuan's actions? After all, despite how much Shao Cheng dislikes that side of him, that is already part of the man's personality, which is especially bad but was something that Shao Cheng couldn't change no matter what.
After all, even when the Ren Yuan in the previous life has grown old, but that man's bad nature, unfortunately, remains the same.
Shao Cheng couldn't fault Ren Yuan for just being his true self, right?
So just like in the previous life, Shao Cheng was able to slowly deal with his anger while his thinking process becomes calm once again which make him feel a bit incompetent.

The previous life experience is definitely useful in order to deal with this Ren Yuan on his new life while letting out a sigh soon after since Shao Cheng doesn't know if he should cry or laugh for that idea just now.
"What do you think Little Ren?"
Turning his attention at the small wolf cub on his arms that have been staying docile the entire time, Shao Cheng couldn't help but asked the young cub only to recieve a wet grey eyes that brim with confusion about his question which has cause a wry smile to appear on Shao Cheng face before gently petting the wolf child in a rather tender manner.
This grey eyes young cub was one among the remaining children of the group of wolves that he managed to save their lives, which Shao Cheng felt a bit adorable as it kind of reminds him of Ren Yuan, especially having a similar eye color, even the shape of the eyes almost completely looked the same that Shao Cheng couldn't help but become fond of it so quickly.
And what is great about his Little Ren is about how docile it was on his arms while being fierce and showing the true definition of a lone wolf with a cold and indifferent attitude the entire time to other creatures beside Shao Cheng.
Seeing this wolf cub being compliant and quiet on his arms, Shao Cheng's mood has greatly improved because of the adorable Little Ren which was the complete opposite of the bigger Ren who seemed to have been born to irritate him for his entire life.
After a few more minutes of gently caressing the little wolf cub, Shao Cheng has finally deemed that it was time to return back, after all, there is two-person that couldn't cook to save their life.
So even though Shao Cheng still has that small tiny amount of anger on his heart, but the pitiful hungry look on the pale exquisite face of Ren Yuan has caused him to finally go of the wolf cub on his arms that seemed to protest as it let out a sound, causing Shao Cheng to glance on it once before turning around decisively as he left the hidden cave.
After all, the Bigger Ren is far more important than the Little Ren that has a group of wolves packs that can protect its life.
Damn... now that Shao Cheng thinks deeply about it, isn't he a bit peculiarly considerate to Ren Yuan?
With a bewildered look as that thought keeps reflecting on his mind, Shao Cheng figure has taken a step at the snow-covered world before using his internal energy to lightly walked on the ground which is covered with a layer of thick snow which he soon dashes ahead, after all, it is almost time for lunchtime soon.
"... am I a nanny now?" and to the two grown-up men too?
Feeling about how unfair life is, which Shao Cheng has long figured out, couldn't help but prefer to at least take care of beautiful women which he will be able to at least appreciate with his eyes, although, the images of Ren Yuan wearing a woman dress couldn't help appear on his mind causing Shao Cheng to almost stumbled over his steps.
"Damn, what did I just think just now?"
Feeling weirder and weirder at the way he has been reacting toward Ren Yuan in the past few days, Shao Cheng decided to take a break from him after their situation is over since he got the feeling that something unusual will happen to him unexpectedly if this keeps going on.
However, before Shao Cheng was halfway to the hidden cave that he has been using as their hideout and place to stay with during the snowstorms, someone has suddenly appeared before him that causes his body to tense up in alert since he was a bit caught off guard from the strange thought on his mind.
This is definitely Ren Yuan's fault which usually the most reason for what has caused his problems happening in the previous life.
