Chapter 244 - Greedy Dragon Clan, Ideological Education (4)
"Master, this Dragon clan is too much. Why don"t I lead some of our clan to destroy them?" Feng Zhan suggested after catching up to Leng Ruoxue.
"There"s no need. I"ll let the Dragon clan know that it"s not so easy to take advantage of me," Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly. If she wanted to settle it with violence, she would have done it a long time ago and wouldn"t have waited until now. Moreover, she had always believed that submission of the soul was much more important than violence, so she would make the Dragon clan regret it.
"Master, will the Dragon clan agree?" Feng Zhan asked uncertainly.
"Fifty more divine beasts is better than none, so they will definitely agree," Leng Ruoxue said very confidently. This was the main reason why she dared to negotiate with the Dragon clan.
"I hope the Dragon clan is sensible. Otherwise, don"t blame me for being nasty," Feng Zhan said fiercely, killing intent s.h.i.+ning in his eyes.
"Feng Zhan, do you have a great enmity with the Dragon clan?" A few drops of cold sweat dripped down Leng Ruoxue"s forehead. She couldn"t help wondering curiously why dragons and phoenixes always wanted to fight?
"Uh, how should I put it? Actually, there isn"t much enmity between our two races. We just don"t like each other. When we meet, we have to fight each other. Otherwise, we won"t feel comfortable all over. Moreover, the Phoenix clan and the Dragon clan also like to drag each other down," Feng Zhan explained with some embarra.s.sment. These enmities were engraved into their bones and had been pa.s.sed down generation after generation. Therefore, dragons and phoenixes had always been unable to get along peacefully.
"But why do I feel that your two races are a little like lovers bickering and fighting?" Leng Ruoxue asked doubtfully.
"How is that possible! No member of the Phoenix clan would like those stinky dragons!" Feng Zhan jumped up excitedly and denied.
"I"m just saying casually. Calm down. There"s no need to overreact," Leng Ruoxue quickly comforted.
"Master, those stinky dragons shouldn"t be coming again today. Please let me in!" Feng Zhan changed the topic awkwardly.
"Okay." Leng Ruoxue sent Feng Zhan into the bracelet alone but didn"t follow him in. Instead, she returned to her room in the wooden house and went to sleep.
…
Dragon Island.
The second elder left the Phoenix clan"s territory and returned to Dragon Island in embarra.s.sment.
In the main hall of the Dragon Island, Long Hao and the others were waiting for news from the second elder.
"Second Elder, how was it? Did you succeed?"
All the elders crowded around the second elder and bombarded him with questions as soon as he walked into the main hall.
"No, Leng Ruoxue didn"t agree." The second elder glanced at the Dragon Emperor, who was also staring at him intently. He sighed heavily and then sat down in his chair.
"Humph! This Leng Ruoxue really doesn"t know what"s good for her. Our Dragon clan thinks highly of her and is willing to transact with her, but she actually refused," the seventh elder roared indignantly and took the lead to launch an attack.
Long Hao rolled his eyes at the seventh elder and asked directly, "Second Elder, what did she say?"
"Except for the pills for advancement, there are no problems with the rest." The second elder didn"t beat around the bush and directly revealed the result.
"She refused to give us the pills to advance?" Long Hao asked again.
"Yes, she refused to change that one." The second elder sighed helplessly. He had tried his best.
"Your Majesty, since Leng Ruoxue doesn"t know how to appreciate favors, why don"t you let me lead people to s.n.a.t.c.h them!" The seventh elder stood up from his chair and volunteered.
"Go on. If you don"t come back, we won"t go save you," Long Hao said coldly while looking at the seventh elder like he was an idiot. s.n.a.t.c.h? If he could, he would have s.n.a.t.c.hed them from Leng Ruoxue a long time ago. Why would he bother to think about making a deal with her?
"…"
Facing the strange gazes of the elders, the seventh elder only felt his face burning and wanted to find a hole to burrow into. Uh, I seemed to have said something stupid just now.
"Second Elder, what do you think of this matter?" Long Hao asked. After all, he was the one who handled this matter, so he should know Leng Ruoxue"s att.i.tude better than anyone else.
"Your Majesty, I think Leng Ruoxue"s condition is far from what we expected, but it"s not impossible to agree," the second elder said after some thought. In fact, he also felt that the Dragon clan"s conditions were a little too excessive.
"First Elder, what"s your opinion?" Long Hao turned to the first elder, who had his eyes closed.
"I have no objections. Your Majesty can decide," the first elder said indifferently without even looking up.
"Second Elder, go to the Phoenix clan tomorrow and say that we"ve agreed. Bring fifty clan members there and transact directly with her," Long Hao directly ordered after hearing what the first elder said.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will go and make arrangements then." The second elder didn"t want to delay any longer and left immediately.
Early the next morning, the second elder set off with the Dragon clan members.
…
In the wooden house in the Phoenix clan…
Feng Moran stood outside Xue"er"s room and knocked on the door.
"Hi, Big Brother Feng, what"s the matter so early in the morning?" Leng Ruoxue asked after opening the door.
"Xue"er, thank you," Feng Moran said with a face full of grat.i.tude. He knew that Xue"er wouldn"t have accepted the Feng family at all if not for him.
"Big Brother Feng, there"s no need to be so polite between us," Leng Ruoxue said helplessly. She would treat anyone that she regarded as one of her own as family.
"I know, but I still have to thank you." Feng Moran knew very well that Xue"er had never treated him as an outsider. But he didn"t know how to express his grat.i.tude other than thanking her.
"Big Brother Feng, did you come to see me so early in the morning just to say thank you?" Leng Ruoxue couldn"t resist teasing.
"No, I"m here to tell you that a group of dragons is outside," Feng Moran quickly explained. He knew that Xue"er hated it when others disturbed her sleep.
"Oh, hehe. Big Brother Feng, you"re going to have a dragon as your contract beast too." Leng Ruoxue smiled with satisfaction. It seemed like those dragons were not hopeless yet.
"Xue"er, I only need King Kong," Feng Moran said calmly. There were many people in the mercenary group who didn"t have a divine beast yet, so how could he want a dragon?
