"Afterwards, the old servant carefully checked every corner of the Imperial Kitchen, and finally discovered a not-so-large cave in an extremely concealed area. He also found this tuft of fur beside the cave."

At this point, Old Yao took out the small tuft of fur, his old face full of a bitter smile: "Your Majesty, does the texture and color of this fur look familiar?"

"This..." Emperor Longchang’s eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, "That’s impossible, my little five are all obediently staying in the wolf nest. There’s a designated person watching them at night, it couldn’t be theft..."

At this point, Emperor Longchang lost the confidence to continue speaking. He took the tuft of fur and headed straight for the backyard garden.

In the Imperial Garden, the exquisite wolf nest, the diligent eunuchs, and the obedient little five, everything was as usual.

After the eunuchs opened the wolf nest gate, the little five immediately dashed out and circled around Emperor Longchang. Such warm-hearted attachment and obedient demeanor made Emperor Longchang’s heart feel warm, and he couldn’t help but start doubting his judgment again.

These little five are so well-behaved, how could they steal ingredients? Did I wrong them again? Maybe it was another spirit beast with a similar fur color...

"Have you all been good at night?" Emperor Longchang squatted down and patted each of their heads, his voice sounded somewhat gentle.

"Awoo awoo~~" The little five howled in unison, nodding repeatedly.

"Then who left this tuft of fur?" Emperor Longchang took out the tuft of fur and began to interrogate, "Second one, you’re usually the liveliest, did you do the bad thing? Fifth one, you sneakily hide in the back, was it you?"

The little five squatted on the ground, looked at each other, then looked at the Emperor with innocent eyes.

Dear kind grandpa, what are you saying? We don’t understand a word!

"Your Majesty, according to your order, as long as the little five are inside the wolf nest, we have someone watching them all the time." The eunuch in charge chimed in, "We always have two people watching, we can confirm the little five haven’t left." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Check the wolf nest." By this time, Emperor Longchang was already half-convinced, "Mainly check if there’s a cave."

The eunuchs immediately took orders and went to check the wolf nest.

At first, they didn’t find any problems, until one eunuch lifted the specially laid soft blanket in the wolf nest.

In the corner, there was indeed a small cave, just big enough for the small wolf cubs to pass through.

"How is that possible?" The eunuchs were shocked.

The little five have always been under their watchful eyes, when did they dig a hole?

Emperor Longchang looked at it, and suddenly felt dizzy.

His expression was like that of someone whose trusted children suddenly turned into law-breaking criminals, filled with disbelief and complex emotions of deceit and betrayal.

His face darkened, his eyes fixed on the little five: "Confess honestly, how exactly did you do it?"

"Ooo ooo~"

Seeing the evidence exposed, the little five knew they couldn’t escape, so they drooped their heads immediately, ears pinned to their heads, faces full of regret, presenting a "I’m sorry, I will definitely change" demeanor.

At the same time, they nudged each other, pushing the fifth one out.

Fifth one came out reluctantly, looking pitifully as he began his performance in front of the Emperor.

He squatted in the original spot, shook his fur, then stepped back.

Something magical happened.

Originally one fifth one, suddenly turned into two. The extra one could blink and stick out its tongue, looking truly lifelike. A Black Tortoise Cultivator with slightly lesser skills simply couldn’t see the problem. Especially under moonlight, it could be completely authentic.

Then the fifth one stepped back again, creating a second illusion, a third illusion...

"Moonlight Illusion Technique? You little five, how many hidden cards do you have?" Emperor Longchang’s mouth twitched.

Who would have thought that each of these little wolf cubs possessed great divine techniques, not only invisible tracking skills, spatial abilities, but also illusion skills?

They cleverly utilized their illusion abilities to confuse the eunuchs, then secretly dug a tunnel!

Although these abilities are just minor tricks to the dignified Emperor Longchang, if they dared to perform them in front of him, they’d definitely be seen through in no time.

But these little wolf cubs are still young, not even Tier Five yet~~ where did they learn all this crap?

Even though Emperor Longchang was knowledgeable and experienced, he was shocked by them at the moment.

It’s not surprising for Silver Moon Grey Wolves to awaken moonlight illusion-related abilities, the surprising part is they’ve awakened them at this level and can use them skillfully. And they even managed to fool the watching eunuchs.

It’s important to know, the bloodline of Silver Moon Grey Wolves is very ancient, and quite noble, they can only be considered pups before reaching Tier Five. In their pack, the Wolf King enjoying the best resources can even rise to Tier Nine.

Generally speaking, Silver Moon Grey Wolf cubs are considered to enter their teenage years upon reaching Tier Five, and can officially participate in hunting, at which point domestication becomes difficult.

This is also why Wang Lici wants to return them as soon as possible. These five little cubs have already reached Tier Four Middle Stage, and in ten years they’ll reach Tier Five.
