"Aoooh!!"
Soft soft's ears twitched, picking up a faint sound that she immediately recognized as White White's voice, accompanied by a hint of distress.
Without hesitation, Soft soft ran towards the source of the sound.
As she got closer, the sounds became clearer—it was indeed White White, along with some children laughing.
"What are you doing! Don't bully White White!" Soft soft shouted as she reached the scene, her anger rising.
Seeing the situation clearly, Soft soft was furious. She rushed over and knocked down the boy who was about to throw a stone at White White.
"White White!" Soft soft quickly picked up the young wolf cub, who was now dirty and covered in red stains from the wounds caused by the stones.
Tears welled up in Soft soft's eyes, and she felt heartbroken seeing White White in pain.
"Woo, woo..." The little wolf cub whimpered weakly, trembling in Soft soft's arms.
The other children who were about to throw stones at White White stepped back, afraid to continue their cruel act.
Meanwhile, the boy Soft soft had knocked down got up angrily.
"You dare to knock me down! I'll beat you to death!" He shouted, picking up a stone and attempting to throw it at Soft soft.
Swiftly, Soft soft dodged the stone and kicked the chubby boy again.
"Why are you bullying White White?!" Soft soft was furious, especially knowing that White White had been hurt by these children.
"Waaah... You hit me! I'm going to tell my mom that you hit me!"
Soft soft looked at the other children, her eyes red with anger. The other kids were intimidated and shook their heads.
"Wu Yong told us to do it, it's not our business!"
"Yeah, it has nothing to do with us."
These children usually followed Wu Yong, the chubby boy who Soft soft had just beaten up. He was known for being a troublemaker, and his parents doted on him. However, now that they saw Soft soft easily dealing with Wu Yong, they were afraid to mess with her.
Wu Yong continued crying, but Soft soft ignored him. She searched through her bag and took out a small porcelain bottle.
Opening it revealed a pale blue ointment with a faint fragrance.
Soft soft applied some of the ointment gently on White White's injuries.
"Don't worry, White White. It will feel better soon. Let me comfort you," Soft soft blew softly on the injured area while applying the ointment.
The little wolf cub whimpered, looking at her with watery eyes, full of affection and trust.
"Who dares to bully my son! I'll teach them a lesson!" Suddenly, a sharp and loud voice rang out.
Soft soft looked in the direction of the voice and saw a stout and fierce woman running over.
Her face was filled with anger, and she immediately started scolding and berating Soft soft when she arrived.
"Ahh! This wicked brat injured my son like this! Worthless piece of trash, you deserve to die!"
Soft soft looked at the woman, her small face wrinkled in thought, but she didn't say anything. She just clutched White White tightly in her arms, feeling a little scared.
After all, she could easily handle children, but facing an adult was a different matter.
The woman continued berating Soft soft while holding Wu Yong, but others in the village stepped in to intervene.
"Li Miao, don't you see that you're an adult? Why are you chasing after a child to hit her? Have you no shame?"
"Shameless! You don't care when your child bullies others, but when he's beaten, you go on like this!"
The argument escalated, with the villagers expressing their disapproval of the woman's behavior.
Li Miao was infuriated and tried to attack, but Soft soft's protector, the old lady, stood in the way.
Soft soft was about to step forward and protect the old lady, but the old lady pulled her back, facing Li Miao with a straight posture.
"Come on! As an old woman, my body is not in good shape. If anything happens to me later, your family will have to pay for my medical expenses. Come on, hit me!"
Li Miao's anger subsided when she heard about medical expenses. Money was the most precious thing to her, and she didn't want to be in debt if the old lady ended up in the hospital.
"Don't even think about getting away with this! Hand that brat over, or we won't let this matter rest!"
"Forget it, she's just a child after all, and your son is perfectly fine," someone tried to reason.
"Who said I'm fine! It hurts all over!" Wu Yong immediately started wailing loudly, but his expression didn't match the pain he claimed to be in. However, his parents believed him, and they comforted him while also trying to teach Soft soft a lesson for supposedly hurting their son.
