Capítulo 38: Two wolf pups?

Rousing from his sleep, Chi Cheng squinted to adjust his vision to the bright light shining over his face. Sitting upright, he found himself lying on a thin mattress with a white sheet covering him.

Running a hand through his hair, he tilted his head to the side when he sighted two wolf pups that were seated on his lap. They resembled the two white wolves he summoned to his aid earlier in the Forest Forest, but they appeared barely a few weeks old.

"Is it really you two?" Chi Cheng reached for one of them and the pup wolf nuzzled into his touch, wagging its tail victoriously.

The other pup wolf trotted along his leg and brushed its head against his midsection, rumbling a soft sound in its throat.

"How did you two get so small?"

The two pup wolves settled on their hind legs, looking at each other sullenly. As if pouting, they scrunched their noses and let out a soft bark.
