Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

To remain vigilant, the white wolf transformed back into its original form.

After all, her senses can function at their maximum potential in this form, allowing her to detect potential dangers in advance.

After ensuring that all the enemies were dead and that no other monsters would come anytime soon, the white wolf approached the girl to check on her condition.

But as soon as they got close, the wolf's keen sense of smell detected that the girl's unique scent in the air had become slightly stronger...

"Did you wet your pants?"

The white wolf asked instinctively, somewhat surprised.

The question had barely left his lips when the girl's expression shifted several times before she suddenly fainted.

The white wolf tilted its head in confusion.

I feel like I said something I shouldn't have.

However, she didn't delve into it further. After confirming the girl's condition, she prepared to leave.

But the other person's pale face, ashen lips, and trembling body despite being unconscious all spoke volumes.

If left unattended, the girl would certainly not survive this cold night, even without a monster attack.

"Sigh, humans are such a hassle..." the white wolf sighed helplessly.

But they couldn't bear to just ignore it.

The white wolf moved the girl to the sheltered spot they had been in before, and then used his demonic power to rekindle the campfire that had just gone out. He then threw all the corpses of the monkey demons into the distance.

They also treated the surrounding scent to prevent other monsters or wild beasts from being attracted by the smell of blood.

Then the white wolf returned to the girl's side.

Although the campfire had been lit, the girl was still shivering slightly, seemingly suffering from mild hypothermia. Clearly, a single campfire was not enough to warm her up.

Even though the white wolf was a monster, it was clear that what the girl needed at that moment was a warm blanket.

But clearly, it seems impossible to meet her needs under the current conditions.

No, it's not entirely impossible.

Looking at his own fine, warm fur, the white wolf fell into deep thought.

Thinking of the other party's recently intensified scent, the wolf's handsome face revealed an extremely human-like expression of disgust.

But seeing the girl's slightly furrowed brows and pale face, the white wolf gritted his teeth and made a decision.

Chapter 328 Green and White Wolf

The white wolf crouched close to the fire, looking like a huge white fur ball, and placed the girl on its body, then covered her with its fluffy tail.

Enveloped in warmth, the girl stretched out her curled-up limbs, snuggled against the white wolf a couple of times with some comfort, and changed to a more comfortable position.

His pale face gradually regained its color, the furrowed brows on his forehead smoothed out, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, as if he were having a sweet dream.

Seeing this, the white wolf also lay down on its front paws and closed its eyes.

However, her ears, which stood up high like antennas and kept rotating, proved that she had not let her guard down at all.

……

In the early morning, the sky was a hazy gray.

Before the white wolf could even feel relieved that he hadn't encountered any trouble all night, snowflakes began to fall slowly from the sky.

The first snow of this winter has arrived.

Tiny snowflakes drifted through the woods and landed on the girl's rosy face, the slight coolness waking her from her sleep.

The girl's long, narrow eyelashes trembled slightly; she seemed reluctant to get out of bed.

She felt this was the most comfortable sleep she had had in the past two weeks.

To be more precise, it should be the most comfortable sleep I've ever had in my life, because even at home I don't have such a soft bed and warm blankets.

The girl buried her face in the white wolf's soft belly, took a deep breath, and opened her eyes contentedly.

Then he met the white wolf's somewhat speechless gaze.

"..."

"..."

The air fell silent for a moment.

Gollum—

A sound symbolizing hunger emanated from the girl's flat stomach, breaking the eye contact between the human and the wolf.

The silence deepened, adding to the awkwardness...

"Um, was it your master who saved me?" Recalling the snapping sound of a bowstring being pulled in the darkness last night, the girl tentatively asked.

The person on the mountain with hunting dogs and a bow and arrow must be a hunter, right?

The huge, wolf-like animal in front of us must be the hunting dog kept by the hunter.

"?"

White Wolf tilted his head in confusion, his narrowed eyes filled with deep bewilderment.

This girl has a pretty face, but why does she look a little silly?

"Don't you understand? That's right, I must be confused. I'm not a monster, how could I understand? But where did Mr. Hunter go so early in the morning..."

"I have no master, and I'm currently planning to join the ranks of the master of this mountain. If he's willing to accept me, that sir will become my master. As for the hunter you mentioned..."

"I don't know anything about hunters; I've only been here with one person from the beginning."

The white wolf interrupted the girl's rambling.

"Huh!? You can talk? That means you're saying..."

The voices of the white wolf and others were very gentle, like the eldest sister in a family, giving people a feeling of being cared for.

But to the girl's ears, it was like a thunderclap.

Thinking about her inexplicable conjectures and her self-talking, the girl awkwardly started digging at the three-bedroom apartment under her feet.

Toes: This is a high-level game.

"Sorry, I heard the sound of a bowstring vibrating last night. I thought some hunter had come and saved me..."

Despite being born into an ordinary village family, where a group of unruly people lived, the girl still maintained good manners, perhaps because she had heard various stories since childhood.

At least when faced with such an embarrassing situation, they still have the courage to admit their mistakes.

It has a kind of feeling of emerging from the mud unsullied.

Of course, White Wolf didn't actually feel embarrassed; on the contrary, he thought the girl was being a bit too pretentious.

"Um, how should I address Miss Wolf?"

"Just call me White Wolf."

"Eh? Can't you tell me your name..." the girl said, somewhat disappointed.

Although she couldn't do anything for the white wolf, she at least wanted to know the name of her benefactor so that she could feel grateful in her heart.

"I don't have a name," the white wolf said calmly. "Apart from those great demons, ordinary demons like us rarely have our own names."

White Wolf's statement was not an excuse to avoid revealing his name to the girl.

In fact, in this world, language is the earliest incantation, writing is the earliest symbol, and names are the earliest covenant.

For powerful Onmyoji, sometimes simply speaking the name of a yokai and drawing its form can even force the yokai to become their own shikigami.

For monsters, their names are often a weakness and a constraint.

Therefore, ordinary monsters do not give themselves names, so as not to let others know and use it as leverage.

Yokai such as the Ubume and Itsumade are referred to by their race, and yokai of the same race also have their own ways of distinguishing themselves from one another.

A yokai that has a name is either one that was given to it by the onmyoji after it became a shikigami.

They were either protected by a great demon and given a name by their master.

However, there are also some stubborn little monsters who insist on giving themselves names. These are just not very bright and want to add a weakness to themselves.

Of course, such constraints also depend on the specific strength of the entity; it's not like any Onmyoji can just come along and command monsters at will simply by knowing their names.

For a great demon, even if people know his name, they can't do anything to him. In fact, they can gain power by displaying their fame and gaining respect.

Therefore, great monsters all have their own names.

For example, Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji of the Oni clan, Tamamo-no-Mae of the Fox clan, Natsuhiko's wife, and Ryougetsu-senji of the Inu clan.

"Is that so? Then I'll call you Miss White Wolf!"

Upon learning that the other person wasn't unwilling to tell her name, a smile appeared on the girl's delicate face.

"My name is Qing, the Qing of 'blue'."

As he spoke, Qing patted his conscience, which was beginning to take shape, causing a stir.

In this era, surnames were reserved for nobles; good citizens like Qing in the village could only use their own given names.

Those of even lower status are not even given names, and are not even considered human, being given the title of "non-human."

"Is your name Qing...?"

"Well then, Qing. I'm going to search for the owner of this mountain next. What are your plans? If you're going down the mountain, I can give you a ride."

"Miss White Wolf, if it's alright, please let me go with you!"

"Would you like to eat something before we do that?"

Chapter 329 White Wolf Joins the Battle

"Awooo—" A melodious wolf howl rang out in front of the shrine.

"Awoo~" As if exchanging a secret signal, the God of Fate also let out a wolf howl. After doing this, the silly guy excitedly reported to Xia Yan: "It's that white wolf from Seven Horns Mountain!"

"White Wolf?" Xia Yan looked at the ponytail tied with a red rope at the back of White Wolf's head.
