Long Jun was surprised and alarmed. He grabbed Lu Meili by the side and dragged her away from the shrieking woman. 

Aside from Han Lu's guards, everyone else jumped away from her, alarmed.

"Ah! Get it away from me!" Han Lu continued to yell hoa.r.s.ely in panic. Whatever was on top of her head was spilling liquid on her face. She swatted it away before it fell on the ground. 

"Those are thunder wolves!" someone shouted. With that, they prepared themselves to defend themselves. 

Han Lu continued to scream on top of her lungs like a woman who could not defend herself, despite being a dragon s.h.i.+fter herself. 

Her face was covered with blood, and she looked like a woman from a human horror movie at that moment. 

'SLICE!' 

'PLOP!' 

Han Lu's guards moved to save her by slicing the Thunder wolves closer to her, and that helped her calm down. 

"They were already dead!" another one exclaimed, after looking closely. The wolves' remains were chopped down and now scattered on the muddy ground. 

Looking at Han Lu's dress that was tainted by blood, it seemed that the wolves were indeed already dead before the lady's guard attacked it. 

"Where did that come from?" Another s.h.i.+fter asked curiously. They were used to lower beasts avoiding them. 

Just one dragon s.h.i.+fter was enough to make a mid-cla.s.s beast like Thunder Wolf to get cautious. So having them suddenly appear in the middle of the group of s.h.i.+fters was very surprising. 

Also, Thunder Wolves moved in packs, so it was baffling why three dead wolves accidentally appeared before them. 

Unless it was thrown to the Han lady deliberately. However, who would have had the guts to do that? 

Those who realized that someone was watching them, put their guard up and looked around for any clue. 

"Lady Lu, go back and change your clothes! Else you will attract the attention of other beasts because of the smell of blood!" Lou Hana could not help but comment on her worry. She walked towards Han Lu and gave her a handkerchief to wipe the blood off her face.  

The Han family guards agreed as well and persuaded Han Lu to return with them as soon as possible.  

"This…" Han Lu was trying to think of another excuse. She found Long Jun's actions suspicious, and she wanted to find out what he was hiding. She also wanted to personally do something about the woman who had tried to capture Long Cheng earlier. 

In Han Lu's opinion, anyone who tried to get close to Long Cheng should vanish. Especially women like Lu Meili, who managed to get the prince's attention.

"Lady Lu, it is very dangerous to stay any longer at the Thunder Forest with you like this. We cannot have any unnecessary accidents, as we would not prioritize you over our mission." Long Jun said seriously. 

Han Lu still wanted to refuse, but she knew that the smell of blood was very enticing for any lower beast around. 

Though Han Lu's guards could've handled that, no one wanted any unnecessary fight. Just like what Long Jun had said, there wasn't any need for an 'unnecessary accident.' 

Long Jun had also blatantly declared that he would not help if anything did happen. 

This was the second time she needed to go to change her clothes, and it was more frustrating than following Long Cheng around. However, it seemed she had to go this time for the sake of her safety. 

Han Lu also could not jeopardize the guards' lives since they had already warned her about the danger. Her father fumed when he learned her disregard for her subordinated lives, and she might get punished for it. 

And she could not be on her father's bad side when she needed him to continue persuading the king regarding her mating. 

 Han Lu had no choice but to leave faster than Long Jun's group so she could come back as well. Of course, not before promising to see Long Jun later. 

'At  last, she left…'

Long Jun grinned. For him, whoever had caused the death of the thunder wolves was helping them have a peaceful journey without Han Lu around. 

Just as they were feeling relief and getting ready to leave, the dragon s.h.i.+fters heard many growls and thumping sounds of steps coming their way.

They subconsciously looked at the carca.s.s and stepped back when they remembered how vengeful the Thunder Wolves were. What if they were blamed for the death of their pack members?
