Chapter 437 - 439: The White Wolf's Request
"So you were ultimately saved by a wolf, and in gratitude for its lifesaving, you even agreed to sign it up to participate in the Competition Among Ten Countries?" Feng Bailing almost squeezed these words through her teeth.
She looked at the unlucky trio in front of her, covered in dust and dirt, and her face was speechless.
She sent Feng Luochen, Hong Xuan, and Dongfang Yong to escort the goods of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce out of the country in the name of Feng San to toughen them up. She didn't expect that they would encounter a group of leopards on the way, and moreover, a group controlled by someone, which almost led to their annihilation.
However, fortunately, they managed to safely deliver the goods to Li Mubei's men in the end.
Being able to control a group of leopards, Feng immediately thought of Xiao Junci, but according to the description, the leopards were even stronger than the Tanlang Army.
Could there be others besides Xiao Junci capable of beast control?
Feng Bailing was somewhat worried. She also thought of Dugu Xiaojin; it had been half a month, and she didn't know how Dugu Xiaojin was doing in the Imperial Academy.
Seeing her own sister with tightly furrowed brows and silent, Feng Luochen's trio also felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Dongfang Yong secretly gave Feng Luochen a look.
"I told you before, this won't work. Moreover, Feng Bailing has always disliked me; how could she possibly agree to help?"
Feng Luochen grimaced.
"The wolf saved us, under those circumstances, its strength was so much greater than ours, we couldn't not agree; otherwise, if it got angry, it might kill us just like it wanted to kill those leopards."
When the White Wolf King proposed to participate in the Competition Among Ten Countries, everyone's eyeballs nearly popped out. Dongfang Yong wanted to refuse outright, but it was Feng Luochen who agreed, saying his sister was Prince Wu's Princess Consort, and she would certainly agree to his request.
"Sister, please help us out this time, go and speak well to Dugu Wu. We were driven to extremity, and we joined the Phoenix Mercenary Corps Group. You don't know how formidable that woman called Feng San is. She made us sign a servitude contract; we have to work our lives off for her. If we don't handle this well, she will take our lives."
Feng Bailing glared at her naive younger brother.
Is she really that fierce and vicious?
Feng Luochen only felt a chill on his neck; why does his sister's gaze look so familiar?
"You can't blame them for this, the situation was really dangerous at that time, you don't know; the group of leopards was comparable in strength to a Wuji Earth Seal master. That White Wolf was even more monstrous, it initially had the strength of a Wuji Fire Seal. Later, after it bit one of the leopards, it suddenly went berserk, reaching the strength level of a Wuji Water Seal master, not to mention just us three, even ten more of us couldn't beat it. Moreover, the White Wolf King isn't a common beast, Dugu has been unable to recruit suitable hands; if we can recruit a Wuji Water Seal level powerhouse, it would also be a big help for Dugu. Aren't you the Princess Consort of Prince Wu, shouldn't you consider more for Dugu?"
Hong Xuan was very astute, stepping forward to persuade.
"A Wuji Water Seal level wolf? You guys aren't teaming up to deceive me, are you?" Actually, Feng Bailing was also very interested in this White Wolf; after all, the last time from the Crown Prince Mansion, it was the White Wolf King that dragged out a corpse.
It's just that Feng Bailing has never seen this White Wolf in person.
"If I'm lying, my senior brother Lu Yin will remain a bachelor all his life."
Hong Xuan spoke righteously.
"Hong Xuan, how can you speak like this, your senior brother, me, am handsome and elegant, wealthy; how could I possibly remain a bachelor."
Lu Yin just walked in; he had just rushed back from Mercenary City, originally wanting to find Dugu Wu in the study. He couldn't find Dugu Wu but ended up seeing Feng Bailing.
"I said that in order to make Feng Bailing believe me."
Afraid that Feng Bailing and Lu Yin wouldn't believe, Hong Xuan clearly explained the whole situation.
It turned out that on that day, after they were attacked by the group of leopards, during their moment of crisis, the White Wolf rushed out.
The White Wolf, which looked as big as a calf, had extraordinary strength, and after killing all the leopards present, they and the goods were finally safe.
After this battle, Feng Luochen and his companions realized that their strength was insignificant in front of true powerhouses; they were unable to withstand a single blow. Hong Xuan was saved by the White Wolf King and felt immensely grateful. She stepped forward to thank the White Wolf King, but what happened next astonished everyone,
The White Wolf King, big as a small hill, suddenly spoke human language.
"I saved you not for nothing; you must agree to one condition of mine."
At that moment, the trio, including Hong Xuan, were shocked. The White Wolf King was known for its bravery, but a talking White Wolf King was like a demon, wasn't it?
The first reaction of Hong Xuan and others was to run away, but the White Wolf King seemed to see right through them. It showed its exceedingly sharp claws and with a loud bang, it broke a large tree, which would take three to four people to embrace, in half.
It roared at them, and the three of them immediately stood still, not daring to move.
It was Feng Luochen who was more quick-witted. He stepped forward and said,
"Boss Bai, oh, Wolf Boss. What are your conditions? Money or life, we have no money, but three lives for you."
The White Wolf King only said one sentence.
"I want to participate in the Competition Among Ten Countries; at the end of the month, I will come to find you."
"So you three just agreed to him. You should have at least asked Prince Wu; he might not agree, seeing that…"
Lu Yin glanced at Feng Bailing next to him.
Feng Bailing and Dugu Xiaojin will also participate in the Competition Among Ten Countries; Prince Wu has spent a lot of money to hire people, mostly for the safety of Feng Bailing and Dugu Xiaojin.
The White Wolf King is very powerful, but its origin is unknown.
With Prince Wu's cautious character, he wouldn't allow it to join his forces.
"However, the Competition Among Ten Countries indeed does not prohibit animals from participating."
Feng Bailing didn't see Lu Yin's concerns.
She thought of Xiaojin; Xiaojin has a natural affinity with beasts, and if the White Wolf King joined them, Xiaojin would probably be very pleased.
"Senior brother, did you recruit anyone in Mercenary City?"
Hong Xuan asked curiously.
It had been a month since Lu Yin had left, and he hadn't brought anyone back.
Lu Yin showed an embarrassed smile.
"Actually, I only managed to recruit two or three people in Mercenary City, and those people are not very strong. I heard that some countries have gone to major mercenary cities to recruit manpower earlier than us. So, we couldn't recruit any promising candidates."
"Given that, letting the White Wolf King join might be a good strategy, but convincing Prince Wu…"
Feng Bailing's voice had barely faded.
"Sis, it's up to you to deal with Prince Wu."
Feng Luochen, along with Hong Xuan and Dongfang Yong, swiftly left the scene.
Looking at Lu Yin, Lu Yin shrugged his shoulders.
"You are his Princess Consort, naturally, you should convince him. I'll give you a hint; you might use your charm."
