The Knight from the Fairytales-Chapter 6: Oh My Buddha

In the remote eastern region of the kingdom, there were some cities and villages. Here lived a little girl loved by everyone, and everyone adored her, but the one who loved her most was her grandmother. This grandmother would gladly give her everything she had, and even thoughtfully made her a hat that fit perfectly. Once the little girl wore it, she never wanted to wear any other hat again. Over time, everyone started calling her Little Red Riding Hood, rarely using her real name Reike anymore.
On this day, Little Red Riding Hood received a piece of cake and a bottle of wine from her mother. These were to be delivered to her sick grandmother, hoping her grandmother would recover from her illness.
Meanwhile, there was a clever wolf in these parts, possessing human-like intelligence. When he saw Little Red Riding Hood, he thought: "Oh, this delicious-looking person is much better than that old woman deep in the forest. But how should I eat her?"
Thus hidden deep in the bushes, he quietly watched Little Red Riding Hood carrying cake and wine as she hurried toward her grandmother's house.
And here lies the main story - yes, that's me, this wolf. I'm currently hiding in the bushes.
I should stand up immediately, then approach and trick Little Red Riding Hood into going to a remote place, while I run to the old woman's house. That's how the story plot should go.
I'm a wolf who has awakened intelligence! I'm a wolf who can speak human language! A being like me is more than qualified to be a wolf king, but that knight behind me is making my back go cold with his stare!
How detestable! Does he think I don't know the allusion about the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind? This guy is clearly waiting for me to make my move.
This damned knight obviously wants to play the hero saving the beauty, then win the maiden's gratitude, gain fame, have love at first sight with Little Red Riding Hood, and live happily ever after.
But Little Red Riding Hood is still a child! I just want to eat her, but what is this beast worse than an animal thinking?!
The wolf thought many things, but didn't dare make any rash moves. He feared his head would be chopped off and become part of the knight's achievements.
Beihai watched the wolf's back from behind the tree, feeling it was very familiar. Dealing with this kind of creature was something he was extremely skilled at, having already gained experience twice.
Now if only this evil wolf would rush out quickly, so Beihai could chop off his head.
Beihai stared at the wolf and smiled. This was clearly an experience farm. His smile grew increasingly dangerous, his hand already resting on his sword hilt, while mentally urging this evil wolf: "This damned wolf, hurry up and go harm the little girl!"
Thus the triangle reached its most stable state, and for a moment everything froze, leaving them no choice but to watch helplessly as Little Red Riding Hood went to her grandmother's house.
How detestable! Does he think I don't know the story about the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind? This guy is clearly waiting for me to make my move.
Beihai was somewhat surprised. Had he been exposed?
But soon, after the wolf advanced several dozen steps, his knees went weak, directly sliding along the ground and banging his head against it.
What intelligence? What future wolf king? What joke! Only by kneeling and sliding fast enough can this knight not kill me.
That wasn't enough - the wolf directly grabbed the knight's calf, then pressed against it and kissed his foot.
After doing this, he clasped his hands together and immediately began begging for mercy on the ground. Tears and snot immediately flowed out, truly crying with both tears and mucus.
"Kind knight, I'm just a pitiful wolf. I'm so hungry. Could you give me some meat to eat? Everything I've done was out of necessity."
Beihai was dumbfounded. This wolf was different from the ones he encountered before!
The two he met before, although somewhat clever and able to speak human language, pretty much all wanted to eat Beihai. This was the first time Beihai encountered one who knelt and slid so quickly.
The wolf continued crying at Beihai's feet. When his gaze fell upon Beihai, he saw the shiny silver armor. How could he fight against that? His sharp claws couldn't possibly harm the other party.
Beihai hadn't encountered this situation before either. Plus, since the other party was already kneeling, he really found it hard to strike for a moment. Oh my Buddha, this evil wolf is somewhat unusual - to be so clever. Keeping him would definitely be a great danger.
Just as both sides were locked in stalemate, at some unknown time, a monkey appeared from somewhere, jumping onto a tree and starting to shout loudly: "Kind knight, you must not believe this evil wolf. He's deceiving you."
Hearing the monkey's words, Beihai placed his hand on his sword hilt again.
Looking at the wolf crying with tears and mucus, Beihai's expression darkened.
Oh my Buddha, I really want to chop this wolf. Plus with an animal assisting nearby, chopping him doesn't seem like a bad idea.
But when Beihai looked at this wolf, he originally wanted to maximize benefits. Now it seemed he needed to think of another method.
Chopping the other party would merely gain some attribute points. Mainly, this wolf currently hadn't become too involved with Little Red Riding Hood.
You should know that even Little Red Riding Hood has two versions.
One version has monsters and the grandmother being made into soup. But the wolf before him was clearly from the original story.
Even in the original story, there were two wolves. To maximize benefits, this wolf temporarily couldn't be killed. He could even try a different approach - perhaps the rewards gained would be greater.
"Wolf who's still hungry! I will help you, but you need to make an oath to me."
"You must promise never to harm humans or animals again. I will help you with all my ability and strength, using my reputation to vouch for you, so you will no longer face human hostility."
Beihai crouched down, directly grabbing the wolf's shoulders and pulling him up.
To be honest, every time Beihai says he'll help with all his strength, he'll inevitably face some testing later, like some idle little fairies deliberately saying outrageous things to test Beihai.
But for now, that monkey immediately jumped up.
"Kind knight, you're too kind. But this wolf isn't worthy of your help. He's deceiving you. After you leave, he will definitely eat people."
The wolf who was pulled up hadn't even dried his tears yet, but reacted very quickly, about to kneel down again immediately.
"Kind knight, your mercy makes me feel ashamed. I will definitely follow your words carefully. I will no longer harm people."
In fact, this wolf only thought this knight was too stupid, too kind. How could there be such a naive existence in this world?
Once this knight leaves, he must definitely eat that little meatball and taste her flavor.
But, but this knight's trust, his willingness to sacrifice his own reputation - and I'm just a wolf! He's actually willing to vouch for me. His kindness truly makes me feel somewhat ashamed!
That monkey anxiously scratched his ears and cheeks, finally having no choice but to run toward the depths of the forest to seek reinforcements.
Beihai lifted the wolf up again, feeling somewhat speechless inside.
Oh my Buddha, why is this guy crying again? But it doesn't matter - this stupid wolf thinks an oath can be casually deceived so easily?
Mine isn't an ordinary verbal promise.
