Lu was having none of it when these women tried to flirt with her, as he growled at them to back off, while Lou looked miserable because he couldn’t get a little bit of fun.
He was not a womanizer, but he wouldn’t turn down some affection here and there. After all, Nala was left with Sabian in Diandem pack and he couldn’t get his need met when she was not around, but this lycan ruined it and he couldn’t even complain.
"There, you can ask for the fruit to him," Mark said, pointing his finger at a skinny man, who was talking with someone on one of the ships at the harbor.
"Thanks," Lou said, he flicked a silver coin to Mark and approach the skinny man, who he pointed, while Lu was following behind him. Lou then talked to the man. The sky was very clear and the wind was rather cold.
Lou didn’t want to go to Capital City, he didn’t think there was anything left there, more so the last time he was there, they couldn’t find the fruit. In that case, this harbor was the best place for him to find the fruit Iris wanted.
"How much money do you have?" Lou asked the lycan. He came here in hurry, so he didn’t bring much with him.
"I don’t have any money," Lu replied honestly.
Lou was upset. "You dragged me here to get the fruit, but you didn’t have any money?" If he could, he wanted to kick his leg. Unfortunately, he was not that brave.
"What? You don’t have any money with you? You should know to bring money."
Lou wanted to retort, but he saved his energy. Arguing with this lycan wouldn’t bring him anywhere. In the end, he exchanged his magic stone with three Golden Seed fruits, where Lu immediately took it from his hands.
"I bought that fruit." Lou wanted to give the fruit to Iris himself, forgetting there was no way he would be able to do so with the lycan around.
"You exchanged these fruits with the magic stone that Howling Wolf pack provided. The Howling Wolf pack belonged to Cane and Cane is me." Lu looked so smug with the three Golden Seed fruits in his arms, he couldn’t wait to see Iris’s expression when she woke up. "Let’s go back."
"Didn’t he say that he is not Cane not long ago?" Lou grumbled, but he created a portal and took them back.
But before that, they saw three ships sailed toward the harbor.
"More merchants?" Lou squinted his brows. The merchant should have sailed to Winter Moon pack after they got news from them, so they could march together toward Moon Dew pack. "I don’t know there will be more merchants..."
"Hey, let’s go back!" Lu urged him. frёewebηovel.cѳm
With that, they returned. It was almost morning and Lou only got three more hours to sleep before they had to move again and Lou had to go back to Chrystal Moon pack to check what ships he saw last night.
"Where did you get this?" Iris was surprised to see what Lu gave to her. Three Golden Seeds fruit. She just woke up and the first thing she saw was Lu’s red eyes stared at her, which startled her a little.
"I got them!" he said excitedly, but he didn’t want to tell her how he could get them. "Eat! I have a hard time and have to go through a lot of trouble to get them! You should eat them all!"
Iris was a little bit suspicious, but then she didn’t prod further, because the moment her tastebuds tasted the sweet and sour taste of the fruit, she enjoyed it so much.
"Thank you," Iris said genuinely. She kissed him on the cheek.
Lu determined to drag the merchant back to the harbor and get more fruit for Iris, but Lou actually didn’t return to their entourage even after they reached the border of Winter Moon pack’s territory.
"Just like we expected, the whole place is protected by dark magic," one of the magic users reported back to them after a thorough investigation.
Iris could already tell, but the elders insisted for their magic users to check on the situation too, just to make sure, since in their experience, no one could tell black magic only by a single glance.
"Luna Iris, you can start to purify the black magic." Elder Xarex approached Iris.
"I never said that I will purify the black magic from the shield." Iris was still upset because the elders questioned her ability to detect the black magic, but now once they had confirmed it, they came to her to do the job? "Why don’t you ask to your magic users to do it instead? I don’t want to be questioned anymore in front of my pack member."
