章 36: The Fox makes a discovery

Chu Yun held his ground as Xiao Ziyi approached them. At his side, Tan Ruo went a little straighter, her fan held protectively in front of her face.

Xiao Ziyi came to a stop in front of the two of them, she was almost as tall as Xiao Zai, and just as imposing. She reminded Chu Yun of the first snow of winter, beautiful at first, but if you touched her you'd only feel cold.

A lot of the Zui wolves were like that, he wondered it if had anything to do with the colder climate, or if it was exclusive to them.

Tan Ruo was far more agreeable, and her disposition was more cheerful -- but then again, Chu Yun couldn't be sure she was a wolf at all.

Like in Xin, there were other species living in Zui, despite the wolves being in power for centuries, similarly to the Xin foxes. Only a matter of numbers decided who held power, no king would be foolish enough to alienate an entire group of citizens and risk having a revolt on their hands.
