The beautiful woman walked up the steps, felt as if something was in front of her, looked up and saw the white wolf standing on the steps above her.

The woman was stunned for a moment, as if she was startled by the sudden appearance of the white wolf, the bamboo basket fell to the ground, making a "bang" sound, but she immediately regained her composure and lifted the bamboo basket again, but the little fox beside her has been trembling since she saw the white wolf, and it seems that she does not dare to look at the white wolf.

The little fox's performance aroused the white wolf's curiosity, and he couldn't help but stop when he was going to go down the mountain directly, carefully observing the little fox's every move, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt that he had seen this little fox somewhere.

Seeing the white wolf's actions, the little fox became even more flustered, hid behind the woman, and blocked the white wolf's sight with the woman's legs.

"If you want to go down the mountain, hurry up, don't get in the way in front!" seemed to be infected by the little fox's emotions, and the woman's voice also trembled a little, I don't know whether it was anger or fear, she glared at the white wolf with dissatisfied eyes, and her tone was quite unfriendly.

"Sorry, I was a little distracted. The white wolf felt that he really shouldn't be in the way, so he turned sideways, jumped down the steps, and went directly behind the woman.

The white wolf had planned to descend the mountain like this, but he still couldn't resist his curiosity and turned to look at the little fox hiding behind the woman.

"Where do I seem to have seen you?" The white wolf felt as if the little fox was afraid of him, so he tried to keep his tone as quiet as possible to avoid irritating the little fox.

"I.... I haven't seen you..."The white wolf's efforts to avoid irritating the little fox had obviously failed, and the little fox was visibly more frightened at the sound of his voice, his voice trembling like his body.

"Well..... Really? Maybe I'm mistaken. The white wolf held up his chin, trying to find the little fox from his memories, but found nothing, seeing the little fox so scared, the white wolf felt that he should leave, he had been working hard in the fox village to show that people and animals were harmless, but now there were still foxes afraid of him, which made him feel a sense of frustration.

"You guy, get out of here! didn't you see that scared him?" Before the white wolf left, the woman in front suddenly turned around, stared at the white wolf angrily, and at the same time lifted the little fox's neck, hugged him into her arms, and finally took a step back, the whole action was done in one go, like a cloud of water.

"Good.... It's my fault, I'm leaving, right?" Although the woman's attitude was quite arrogant, the white wolf did not intend to reply, when he was still a human, the white wolf did not like to have verbal disputes with people, he thought that it was just a waste of time, and he did not need to waste his precious time on arguing with others.

Seeing that the white wolf was no longer entangled, the woman hurriedly lifted the bamboo basket, held the little fox who couldn't walk, and climbed along the steps towards the top of the mountain.

It wasn't until she saw the ancestral hall that the woman stopped, looked back, and found that the white wolf hadn't followed, so she exhaled a long breath, her whole body was paralyzed, and she sat down on the last step of the stairs, gasping for breath.

"Sister.... Let's get that egg back to him. After resting for a while, the little fox in the woman's arms suggested timidly.

"Are you embarrassed to say it? I almost saw it all to you!" the woman blamed as she pushed the little fox from her arms, but not with a particularly hard push.

"I'm sorry... Sister... I was scared as soon as I saw that guy .... I don't want to do this either...."The little fox who fell to the ground was very aggrieved, and looked at her sister pitifully.

"You're scared.... Actually, I was scared to death just now, you were supposed to protect me, but you hid behind me, are you a man? The woman raised her eyebrows and reached out to catch the little fox.

"Sister, I've grown up!" Seeing the woman's outstretched claws, the little fox quickly dodged and hid to the side.

"Cut, it's quite quick to react at this time, when will you be able to react in times of danger so that my sister can rely on you?" The woman withdrew her hand, and then stood up with her hands on the ground, and now she was out of breath.

"I'm sorry sister... I'm so useless..."The little fox blamed himself, crouching on the edge of the steps with his head bowed, as if he was reflecting.

"My lovely brother, grow up quickly... Forget it, let's go and deliver food to grandma first, although she only eats one meal a day, but now she should be hungry, let's not delay here. The woman lifted the bamboo basket with her left hand and walked to the mountain road next to the ancestral hall, and the little fox immediately followed.

It was getting late, and it was twilight again, and the day seemed to be coming to an end again, and the mountains and forests were empty and gloomy, except for the sound of women's footsteps echoing on the mountain path.

Just five minutes after the woman and the little fox left, a beast followed, it had a huge body, sharp teeth, sharp claws, the beast put its nose to the ground, sniffed carefully, and then looked with its scarlet eyes in the direction where the woman and the little fox had disappeared.

"Sure enough, it was her, who almost tricked me. The beast muttered to himself, in a deep voice.

This "beast", the white wolf who was returning and returning, he did not notice anything strange until he reached the foot of the mountain, and he carefully compared the smell of the woman, only to find that her smell was exactly the same as that of the thief who stole the dragon egg.

As for why he didn't find out earlier, the reason was probably that his attention was all drawn away by the little fox, and he didn't pay attention to the smell of the woman, and she was still carrying a basket of fragrant food in her left hand, which covered up her own taste, which briefly deceived the white wolf's nose.

"You can't be mistaken, she's the one who stole the dragon's egg. "The white wolf confirmed the identity of the female thief, before entering the fox village, because he did not carefully compare the difference in smell, he once mistook the red leaves for the thief, in order to prevent the misidentification of the thief, which led to the reoccurrence of wronging others, since entering the fox village, the white wolf has been carefully distinguishing the smell of each fox.

In fact, as Momiji said, every adult female fox emits a special scent, and the difference in this smell between each different fox is quite small, and it is easy to mistake someone if you are not careful.

However, the white wolf is not afraid of being regarded as a pervert, basically approaching all the female foxes around him, carefully comparing the smell of their bodies, but none of them are the fox he is looking for, but the hard work pays off, and today he finally found his goal.
