Summary: A drabble moment of Lang with Shihong & Jingjing
Note: You can considered it as a sort of sequel to this drabble here
“1.. 2.. 3, 4……. 7…. 8…… 10—Damn, not this shit again….!!”
A large wolf with reddish-brown fur stopped in his own tracks, letting out a loud irritated growl. Yet again, after hours of hunting and killing every single foolish human hunters who come into the territory to hunt….
From tearing their limb off to biting their head off their neck, he was sure that every single one was laid before him in a mountain pile of dead bodies. Letting out another frustrated growl, the red wolf cursed “That damned slippery human…!”
“A mile ahead he had ran off from your position at 8 o’clock, southwest direction… And making a big roundabout to the entrance, Shihong.”
Hearing the familiar child-like voice from his back, Shihong turned around to only show a rather more annoyed expression than before “You could’ve come here without her, Lang.”
The darker navy grey fur wolf that Lang was sitting on, turned her head slightly to snort “And leave our leader defenseless from those humans? Has the bloodlust finally gotten too much in that empty skull of yours, Shihong?”
“Who says I’m talking about our leader’s capability? He’s more than capable of dealing any of those humans or those livestock from the Xiaolin temple. Unless… You dare to doubt his capability there?”
“That’s enough, Jingjing.” As Lang intercept the quarrel between the two, he got down off from Jingjing and approached towards Shihong. With his arms to the back, Lang turned his head to face Jingjing before turning back to the front and chided “Jingjing had accompanied here, is because I’ve something for her to be done.
As for you, Shihong, I believe not only today’s hunting would be enough for our fellow brothers and sister for the next few days…. It would’ve at least stirred up some commotion among the villagers soon enough.”
“The villagers?” Shihong snorted, he stared at Lang with a dubious look and added “Those bunch don’t even dared to set a foot here. They must be really stupid to ask for their death wish if there’s backup coming here!!”
Raising her brows at Shihong’s obvious statement, Jingjing retorted “You do realize the only reason why backup is coming, because you killed most of the humans…. Leaving only ‘one’ to run for his life?”
“Do you have any solid proof from those foolish humans that they are here now? Like they would be that foolish than ever to give themselves out.”
To speak of Shihong’s words, a loud gunshot from a distance afar in the southwest of their position was heard. It was followed by an unfamiliar masculine voice shouted “That’s the fucking eighteenth time you carelessly misfired, idiot!!”
Deadpan expression shown onto Shihong’s face at the voices, while Lang merely shrugged and said “It’s your own fault for letting that human run off alive…. So, I’ll need you to negotiate with them to ensure they’ll leave with the severed heads of their friends…
I don’t wish for any unnecessary interferences of tonight’s briefing with them. So, ensure they won’t take a single footstep here for the following week before we left, Shihong.” With that said, Shihong immediately whipped his head to Lang and growled with frustration “Oh hell no!
There’s no way I’m making peace with those livestock who stepped foot in our territory in the first place!! Besides, you brought her to do it, right?!!”
“Who’s planning to clean up your own mess that you made, Shihong?” Jingjing scoffed at Shihong’s outburst amusedly, and retorted “I’m tasked by Brother Lang to gather the rest of our brothers & sisters up on the mountain for tonight’s briefing.”
Lang nodded slightly, and soon added “Yes… Which is why, you’ll be accompanying Shihong together to gather everyone in the main hall before sundown, Jingjing… Along with convincing the humans to leave the territory for the next coming weeks.”
With both wolves whom were glaring daggers at each other, they whipped their head in sync and shouted incredulously “What?!!”
Shihong growled angrily “You better tell me right now this has to be one of your jokes!”
“I agree for once, there is no way I’m going to clean up the shit his filthy paws had messed up!” said Jingjing.
“That’s right, I do not need anyone to persuade those livestock like this sorry excuse of a helper!”
“I dare you to say that again for some excuse of a predator who let goes of his prey!!”
“Ahem!” Clearing his throat to gain the attention back of his siblings, Lang moved his head to face both Jingjing and Shihong before then continuing “It’s not a joke at all, Shihong.
Killing their comrades would leave the humans absolutely restless until their vengeance is satiated…. It would be a problem if they decided to take it out on our siblings and the children.”
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Shihong questioned with a snarl “And you don’t trust me with getting rid of them?”
“As much as the easiest way would be to kill them would be good…. We need to make peace with them before we leave. It would be troublesome, if our location gets out to the world… Especially if it’s ‘them’ we’re speaking of, Shihong.”
A burst of bright orange flames completely shrouded Shihong’s body, covering him in the flames as to only a shadow figure of the wolf. With a bright red light, the wolf slowly changes to the form of a human, the flame slowly disperse to reveal.
The said human had notable darker bronze tan-skin color with reddish brown short hair and orange silted eyes, wearing a red sleeveless changshan with a large broadsword hanging at his back.
Folding his arms crossed, he spoke with a deep rough voice “To be clear, all I had to do is to ensure those livestock to leave this place, right?”
Lang nodded at his words, affirmed “Yes. Return their comrade’s head to convince them to stay away from here as long as possible, Shihong.”
“Whatever” grunted Shihong. He headed to the pile of dead bodies he had collected, and easily pulled the heads off from the bodies with one tug. Uncaring of the blood spilling and dripping from the necks and the heads, Shihong turned and headed off to the exit.
However before he leave, Shihong turned his head to glance at Lang and spoke “I do get a head start to gobble up those monks in exchange for this, Lang?”
As Lang nodded faintly, a small smile curved up on his lips as he replied “Of course, it’s an all-you-can-eat season… So, eat to your heart’s content, Shihong.”
With a satisfied smirk shown on the bronze-tan man, he turned his head back to the front and declared as he headed off “Just don’t expect to leave some leftovers when the time comes.”
Cautiously watching as Shihong walks away, Jingjing turned her head to Lang and asked “Do you truly think there’s enough of them for his hunger to be satisfied?”
“I’m sure it’ll be, Jingjing. Otherwise… The humans he’s to negotiate would be a substitute to do so, if he’s not able to hold back his bloodlust.”
“I see…” Jingjing quietly closed her eyes, as foam of bubbles begin covering her wolf’s form till nothing is left to be covered. A second later, the foam of bubbles changes the form of a wolf to a human as it slowly unveils the figure.
The figure reveals to be a tall woman with dark navy-grey colored hair tied up in a side ponytail to her right, stoic grayish blue eyes eyeing carefully at the direction where Shihong had left. She had worn a blue sleeveless changshan with matching armbands and a sword tied by the cloth around her waist.
Pulling off the rest of the heads among the pile of dead bodies easily via grabbing their hairs, the woman spoke as she walked off “If you could pardon me.... I’ll be leaving him there with those livestock, if his bloodlust had finally gotten overboard in that skull of his.”
Replying with a small nod, Lang quietly watched as Jingjing headed off to the same direction as Shihong did with trails of dripping blood coming from the severed heads. Minutes later after she had left, another female voice from the back spoke “Brother Lang, are you sure it’s alright to leave it to both of them?”
Lang merely chuckled, answered knowingly “Jingjing is capable of keeping Shihong grounded from his bloodlust. As much as Shihong dislike the thought of working with her... I do believe they would make a great team together hand-in-hand, Lin.”
As soon as the name escaped from his lips, a grayish green haired ponytail girl landed onto the ground with one of her knee in a kneeling position. She had worn a sleeveless dark green changshan with both her upper thigs strapped with daggers in it.
Turning around, Lang with his smile intact spoke “Welcome back, Lin. How did it go?”
“Both the Xiaolin Dragon of Water and Master were speaking to their pupils about their plans to leave the temple for a week. The Xiaolin Dragon of Water is on his trip to visit an old friend, while the Master would be returning back to his homeland to visit his family.
The young Dragon Prince is ought to be following the Xiaolin Dragon of Water of his trip, as such... Only the elder monks, the apprentices and the young Xiaolin Dragons would remained at the temple.” Lin reported and soon noticed the smile on Lang’s face had grown notably wider.
He let out another chuckle as he said “I see~ Thank you for the hard work as always, Lin.”
“No, it’s my duty to serve and protect you, Brother Lang.”
Before Lang could nod, he then heard Lin spoke once more “But Brother Lang.... Is the word ‘team’ you’re using the right word..... For your scheme you’ve come up with?”
Smiling innocently, Lang folded his arm to the back and replied in a carefree tone “It can’t be helped when both are oblivious to their own hearts, Lin~ Besides, you too had think they would make a great ‘team’, won’t they?”
Staring at her human brother-figure in complete silence, Lin replied with an impassive voice “Shihong would be very unpleased of your schemes... As Jingjing would be as well, Brother Lang.”
Pouting slightly, Lang merely sighed “Can’t a dear old brother worry of his siblings welfare? Oh well~”
Shrugging off with a carefree smile, he then changed the topic “Lin, would you mind helping out to carry this pile back?”
“Naturally, Brother Lang. But...” Turning her head to signal the said direction where Shihong had gone, Ling queried “What about that pile of humans?”
“I’m sure Shihong would bring it back himself, since Jingjing would be there to help him carry back after all~ If not, he would most likely had eaten everything down to the bones before gathering our brothers and sisters, Lin.”
Nodding silently, Lin then begin to help Lang in carrying the dead piles of bodies back to their home. However while doing so, the cries of human whom screaming at the arrival of death came a while later... To which for Lang, it was nothing but music to his ears.
In his form as a child, Lang often acts more at times like a child and also usually enjoy giving light teasing from time to time.
However despite his form as a child, he does able to act as a leader and authorities to give out orders or getting attention of his wolves to command them.
He's also sort of shipping Shihong & Jingjing together, which somehow made Lin wondering if he really should be playing around with Shihong's temper
Does have his sadism in the drabble to allow Shihong to kill if he deems necessary to do it.
He's at times rash and hot-headed especially if his prey got away in his hunt
Often at throat with Jingjing, but still ended up working with her many times... Much to their dislike
Wields a broadsword as his weapon of choice for combat.
Also dislike greatly to talk to humans to negotiate with them for peace, and even transforming to one... Unless it was for battle
The Blue Oni to Shihong's red oni
Often mocks and dislike at times of Shihong's unnecessary bloodlust that would cause them trouble with the humans
Quite protective of Lang, her brother figure
Wields a katana by her side as a weapon figure
Often being paired up with Shihong by Lang usually to restrain Shihong's bloodlust, knowing she's capable to do it. But is still oblivious for now at Lang's intention of shipping her and Shihong together.
The Spy & Assassin among her siblings
Like Guizhi, she's also tasked by Lang to do spying-related jobs
Has a quiet and serious personality
Though very loyal to Lang, she often wonders with concern if Lang should even be trying to pair her other two siblings up.
Even though she gives Omi & the other grandmaster proper titles, she views them nothing as enemies to be eliminated and a complete threat to Lang.
Being a direct descendant of Dojo Kanojo Cho, Drakken is next in line as stated by Lin to rule his world of Dragons. (Someone please confirm or give me headcanon regarding of this)
This drabble shows more of Lang's side of being both father & leader figure to his siblings and the other wolves
Even the main wolves were raised as siblings, only Duyi & Tengfei have blood-relations to each other. The rest of the other wolves have no direct relation to them or each other at all. (So a big ouch to Duyi as he lost his last remaining family)
Also display little of Lang's true sadistic side he harbours towards the others.
Yes, he's planning something big time for the monks when Omi and the main master are gone from the temple.
