Looking at Jiang Ran, his situation is a bit special.
Jiang Ran didn't say anything... Actually, it was because he wanted to take the opportunity to trick Kenroshi Okami into talking.
He wanted to ask this Ken Ruoxi what his real purpose was in taking Shirley back alive with all his efforts. He couldn't possibly be planning on marrying her, could he?
However, in the current situation, if Jiang Ran asked Ken Ruxi this question, it would definitely hurt the morale of his own side. At that time, everyone would definitely think that "Lord Fei Ke" was planning to negotiate terms with the enemy, and if the conditions were right, he might really sell out Shirley.
Therefore, Jiang Ran was speechless.
In addition to the above concerns, Jiang Ran also encountered another layer of limitation, that is, he could not read Ken Ruxi's mental activities.
This guy looks young, but he is actually 64 years old. He is a sixth-level warrior over level and is the second son of the real Wolf King.

Looking at these monsters whose three main values are all close to 20,000 and the total value is nearly 60,000, Jiang Ran can only remain silent for the time being and wait to see how this Kenroshi Okami will react under everyone's condemnation.
·
Based on his inherent impression of the werewolf clan, Jiang Ran thought that Ken Ruoxi would be angry or even issue a cold-blooded order to kill, but the final reaction of this young master of the werewolf royal family was: laughing.
"Hahahaha, I'm just kidding."
"I've been wanting to say this kind of villain's lines for a long time."
Ken Ruoxi laughed exaggeratedly, and he even clapped his hands, signaling the werewolf troops surrounding everyone to relax the encirclement a little, in order to ease the tense atmosphere on the scene.
"In my opinion, we are all smart people. There is no need to do stupid things, right?"
Ken Ruoxi said this, looking at Shirley meaningfully, then turned her gaze back to Jiang Ran.
·
"What should I call you, handsome boy?"
Kenruxi took two steps back while speaking, and found a big rock to sit on, looking very relaxed.
But even so, Jiang Ran didn't think that this guy had any flaws that could be used for a sneak attack. His whole body was impenetrable.
"Just call me Fike."
Jiang Ran responded calmly. Even if he couldn't read the other person's mind, he could still understand the other person's current mental state through micro-movements.
Jiang Ran believed that in the current situation, whether in terms of the quality or quantity of strength, Ken Ruoxi's side had an absolute advantage, but the other party deliberately treated them with courtesy, which obviously had a special purpose.
(Are they worried that Shirley might threaten to commit suicide?)
What on earth is this Kenroshi Okami planning...?
"Fike, I remember this name," Kenrushi touched his chin, and then looked at the werewolf royal warrior Wamudo who was lying not far away and gasping for breath.
"My subordinate, Wamudo, was just being 'taken care of' by you... Feike."
Kenruoxi beckoned with her fingers, and immediately two werewolf warriors came forward to give Wamudo emergency treatment.
"It's mutual. I've received a lot of 'care' from him." Jiang Ran replied with a forced smile.
Whether Wamudo is dead or alive, it doesn’t make much difference to Jiang Ran. What he really needs to deal with now is this Kenroshi Okami.
This guy clearly possesses the strength of a monster, yet he manages to pretend to be harmless. This kind of person is the most dangerous.
·
After a brief conversation, the two sides looked at each other for three seconds, and then Kenroshi suddenly got to the point.
"Since you are a good warrior, I will tell you the truth, Fike."
Kenroshi's words immediately quieted the atmosphere.
"I'm not here to kill anyone. I'm just here to take Shirley away."
As he spoke, Ken Ruoxi took out a bottle of potion from his cloak and threw it to Jiang Ran.
"This is a potion that can remove the 'magic disabled' status. Just give Shirley a drink, and she'll be back to normal within five minutes."
Jiang Ran took the potion and made an identification in a covert manner, and found that the potion was actually genuine.
But even if the potion is real, it doesn't mean anything.
"Who are you to Lord Bingjixing? What gives you the right to take her away? It's Lord Bingjixing's freedom to decide whether to go with you or not."
Jiang Ran pretended to be slightly angry, but he remained calm inside.
He knew that now was a good opportunity to get to know Kenroshi Okami.
Unexpectedly, Ken Ruoxi smiled politely at this time, and then nodded in agreement with Jiang Ran's point of view.
"Well, you're right. This is indeed Shirley's freedom... and I believe that Shirley will choose to go with me."
When Kenrushi said this, he suddenly clapped his hands. Then, the werewolf troops that surrounded everyone immediately lifted the siege, and then quickly trotted to gather behind Kenrushi, forming a neat square formation, as if they were planning to evacuate.
Such an inexplicable development left Captain Pride, Branch Chief Pame and others completely confused.
"Shirley."
Kenroshi stood up, leaped onto a large rock, and looked down at the Ice Star Shirley from above.
In his eyes, Shirley was the only one left at this moment, and he did not take anyone else, including "Fike", seriously.
"I'll wait for you in Driss Town, at the latest before sunset tomorrow... If you don't show up by then, I'll have to tell Kane and Jenny on your behalf that you don't want to go back with me to see them."
When Kenrushi said the names Kane and Jenny, Shirley's body trembled violently, and then she looked at Kenrushi with wide eyes and an expression of disbelief.
Kenroshi was very satisfied with Shirley's reaction. At this time, he became very frugal with his words. Without saying another word, he immediately returned to the ground and left with the werewolf troops.
Just like that, this sudden crisis that could have killed Jiang Ran and all of his companions ended in such an inexplicable way.
Everyone looked at Ice Star Shirley in surprise, hoping that she could explain what the enemy's last words meant, but Shirley kept silent, just frowning and looking in the direction the enemy left.
At this moment, thousands of emotions stirred up huge waves in Shirley's heart, but she was just a lone boat in this ocean, unable to decide her own destiny, and unable to expect help from others.
However, what Shirley didn't know was that even if she said nothing, there was a young man who had already seen through her heart.

8.53 - Ice Star Shirley (Part )
"Shirley, you are the pride of your parents."
When Shirley was just beginning to understand things, the phrase she heard most often was her parents' affirmation of her.
Born with white hair and green eyes, she already possessed the talent to become a "Deer Spirit".
Everyone who sees this adorable little baby will praise him, "Oh my god, you will definitely be an excellent Deer Spirit in the future~!"
And Shirley herself thought so too.
Every day of her childhood started and ended with being praised.
At that time, she was still called Shirley Snow Deer.
·
"Shirley, mom and dad are looking forward to seeing you~"
Under the eager gaze of her parents, Shirley grew faster than all other babies of the same age.
She was able to roll over earlier than others and talk faster than others. When she was able to stand up and walk, other babies had just learned to crawl.
When she was able to use cutlery to eat by herself, other babies would only mash the mashed potatoes fed to them.
Therefore, this baby girl with white hair and green eyes was not only called "extremely gifted" but also "genius". Some flatterers even boasted that Shirley might be the reincarnated son of God.
However, everyone knew that it was flattery, because the Snow Deer family had never had a great man who could reincarnate as the Son of God.
But this does not affect everyone's recognition of Shirley, because her talent and intelligence are unquestionable.
Under such countless expectations, Shirley's family's treatment in the snow muntjac family has become more and more enviable and jealous.
·
"Shirley, Mom and Dad believe you can do it~"
By the age of four, Shirley had already begun preparing for the Snow Deer family's talent test.
In the Snow Muntjac family, the talent test to become a "Deer Serving Spirit" is usually conducted at the age of six. A very small number of people who are confident will choose to take the test a year in advance to speed up their training after becoming a "Deer Serving Spirit".
And Shirley is one of the very few who are confident.
Until the day of the talent test, everyone thought that Shirley would pass the test without a doubt. However, on the day of the talent test, Shirley's test results disappointed everyone.
No, not everyone should be disappointed.
Perhaps the only ones who are truly disappointed are Shirley's parents and those in the Snow Deer family who consider the overall situation.
As for the rest of the people, they were actually secretly celebrating the death of this young genius - after all, the resources that can be allocated in a family are always limited. If Shirley's family fell into decline, other families would naturally be able to live a better life.
In these so-called large families, the most scarce "goods" are actually called "family affection".
·
"Shirley, it's okay, you still have your parents here."
Amidst all the sarcasm and ridicule, only Shirley's parents still protected her.
However, the failure of the talent test caused serious psychological trauma to the young Shirley. She refused to listen to her parents' concern and fell into autism.
Someone once said that if you have never seen heaven, you will not feel any pain even if you spend your whole life in hell.
Shirley's pain did not lie in her failure in the talent test, but in the fact that she fell from the center of attention to a stinking ditch where no one cared.
As long as she lives, this pain will haunt her endlessly and drag her into a deeper quagmire.
So, Shirley, who was only five years old, began to attempt suicide.
After one failure, she would try again the second time, the third time...until one time, when her father accidentally fell from the roof and nearly died in order to stop her from committing suicide, Shirley stopped her behavior of disregarding life.
On that day, it was the crimson blood that flowed from her father's body that brought colors other than black and white back into Shirley's world.
This color is written as "red" and pronounced as "family affection".
·
"Shirley, this isn't your fault. It's your parents who failed to protect you."
His father, who was seriously injured while trying to save Shirley, began to live a bedridden life.
But neither the father nor the mother blamed Shirley at all. Instead, they reflected on their own failures in parenting.
In order to reduce Shirley's mental burden, they always smiled in front of Shirley, as if their father was not unable to get out of bed, but had become a big baby who loved to sleep in.
In such a warm living environment, Shirley's autistic heart began to gradually awaken.
She realized belatedly that even if others looked down on her, so what?
These people have nothing to do with her at all, so why should she care about the opinions of these passers-by A, B, C, and D.
The only people in this world who truly love her are her father and mother.
As long as her parents still care about her and love her, as long as her parents still recognize her, that is enough!
Finally, her parents' unremitting efforts paid off. Their smiles and words once again touched Shirley's heart and helped her stand up again from the quagmire of failure.
"Shirley, it's okay, you still have your parents here."
When her parents told her this again, Shirley cried and threw herself into her parents' arms.
Yes, it is enough for her as long as she has her parents by her side.
·
"Shirley, becoming a deer spirit isn't the only option in life. An ordinary life can also be very happy. Look, your parents are both ordinary, and aren't they both very happy?"
Half a year later, Shirley's father recovered. Although their family life was not as good as before and they were often ostracized and bullied, it was back on track.
However, Shirley could not accept such a life. She did not care how others evaluated her, but she could not accept that her parents suffered because of her.
So, while she was still six years old, Shirley launched her second challenge to the "Deer Spirit Talent".
But, wishes can be beautiful, but things like "talent" have never been related to "hard work".
Shirley failed her second talent test again, and this time, the sarcasm and ridicule people directed at Shirley's family was even worse.
However, Shirley has grown up this time. She was no longer defeated by the malice of others, but calmly accepted the reality that she could not become a "Deer Spirit".
"Mom and Dad, you're right. Becoming a Deer Spirit isn't the only option in life. I want to leave the Snow Deer Clan and find my true talent."
