"Hmm, I'll take Pus and Xiaotian home anyway, since I haven't been working these days."
Mai Xiaomai nodded and said.
"That works. Your dad and I have our own activities and often can't be home. It's pitiful to leave Pus and Xiaotian behind."
Mai's mom looked at the little ghost wolf, "But what breed of dog is Xiaotian? Many people ask me, and I can't answer."
"Xiaotian is not a dog; it's a wolf."
"A wolf?"
Mai's mom was startled and looked at the little ghost wolf in fear, "Will it eat people?"
The little ghost wolf gave her a sidelong glance, as if to say, I'm not interested in eating people.
"Haha, other wolves might eat people, but our Xiaotian won't."
Mai Xiaomai patted Xiaotian's head and said with a smile.
Of course, she couldn't be sure if the ghost wolf would eat people; Abis hadn't mentioned it to her.
However, she believed that such a spiritual animal could definitely distinguish between right and wrong.
The little ghost wolf nodded in agreement.
