“Miss Leng, if I’m willing to bring my clansmen to acknowledge you as my master, I wonder what benefits we can obtain?” The Seventeenth Elder asked somewhat embarra.s.sedly.
Three days ago, when Feng Miao came to look for him, she had already said that she hoped they would acknowledge Leng Ruoxue as their master. She had even said that this was a great thing and that they would regret it if they rejected her. However, at that time, he had tried to trick them for half a day,
but Feng Miao did not say anything, This made him a little angry, so he casually brushed them off and did not give these humans a reply. However, now he knew that it was impossible not to give them an answer. Furthermore, almost half of their clansmen were still in their hands!
However, even if he wanted to acknowledge her as his master, he had to fight for sufficient benefits for his clansmen. Moreover, he was truly curious exactly what ability this young human woman before him possessed to make them willingly acknowledge her as their master. After all, they were from the
Phoenix Clan! So, how could ordinary beasts compare to them?
At this very moment, the Phoenix Clan’s lofty sense of superiority still occupied their thoughts. And this was also the common understanding of all humans in the Boundless Heaven Continent apart from Leng Ruoxue and the others and the beastmen. However, this seventeenth elder would soon know
that in Leng Ruoxue’s eyes, all the beastmen were equal. However, this did not include the Phoenix Clan in the Boundless Heaven Continent that had angered her!
“Seventeenth Elder, if I remember correctly, I only gave you three days to consider this matter. It’s already been a long time, don’t you think it’s a bit too late to discuss this with me now?” Leng Ruoxue said in an extremely cold tone. Hm, she would usually only give them one chance. If she couldn’t grasp
it, then she naturally wouldn’t have another chance in the future.
“But, it’s only the fourth day! We’ve thought about it for three days, and we’ll give you an answer on the fourth day. Isn’t the timing just right?” The seventeenth elder quibbled.
“First Elder, do you have too many deals with humans?” Leng Ruoxue mocked. Hmph! This old man was playing word games with her and playing dirty tricks with her. A simple beast had learned all the tricks of humans who didn’t keep their promises. No wonder the Phoenix Clan was taken down so
easily.
“Uh! We do have a lot of dealings with humans, but that doesn’t stop us from making deals with each other,” the Seventeenth Elder promised while feigning ignorance. However, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy in his heart. This girl was actually so sharp-tongued at such a young age. She didn’t even use
vulgarities when she scolded others. Boohoo… The language of humans was really broad and profound! Fortunately, he usually preferred to study the things of humans. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t have been able to hear the sarcasm in her words! However, under the current circ.u.mstances, he could
only continue feigning ignorance until the end.
“Seventeenth Elder, I will only give you one chance. Right now, you no longer have any chance to bargain. You only have two choices. One is to surrender, and the other is to fight!” Leng Ruoxue saw that this old man who had lived for an unknown amount of time was acting stupid, so she could only be
more straightforward to prevent him from continuing to pretend.
“Uh! Miss Leng, don’t be like this! If there’s anything, we can have a good talk,” the seventeenth elder said with a chuckle, his att.i.tude very good.
“Old man, it’s too late. Since you guys aren’t willing to surrender, then let’s not waste time and just fight!” Leng Ruoxue said straightforwardly.
“Er! Don’t be rash, Miss Leng, Fighting is a barbaric act. We’re all polite children. It’s better to resolve this matter in a civilized manner,” the seventeenth elder said in a hurry. In any case, he didn’t want to be tortured! He didn’t want to take the risk of losing the first elder and the others. Sob… The Phoenix
Clan was getting worse by the day!
“Isn’t this world where the strong are respected? If we don’t use force, how can you be convinced? Furthermore, martial force is also the fastest solution. So, Seventeenth Elder, take this
direction of seventeenth elder.
After Leng Ruoxue finished speaking, she directly threw a light blue colored water attribute profound energy in the
“Ah! How can you hit me just like that!?” The Seventeenth Elder hurriedly jumped aside and dodged that water attribute profound energy attack. However, there was still a portion of water droplets that touched his body, and it was so painful that he couldn’t help but cry out softly!
‘Wu… What kind of water was this? Why did it hurt so much!? Furthermore, the water droplet even carried a frightening cold aura. One had to know that he was a fire-attribute beast, so the thing he hated the most was naturally water. However, not to mention water-attribute profound energy, even
water-attribute profound techniques would find it very difficult to injure him. However, Leng Ruoxue’s profound energy caused him to feel pain. This was truly inconceivable. However, the other clansmen who were also affected were much more miserable than him. Sigh! Who asked those clansmen to
have such low strength!
“What else?” Leng Ruoxue looked at the seventeenth elder with a bit of amus.e.m.e.nt, as if what she heard was a joke. Actually, she really didn’t use too much force just now. Otherwise, those little phoenixes that were affected would have long been frozen into ice.
“Uh! Can we not fight?” The seventeenth elder’s handsome face was full of charm as he smiled and said, boohoo… Leng Ruoxue’s display of power earlier actually made him feel a lingering fear. This was not a good sign, so he really did not want to fight!
“Sure.” Leng Ruoxue nodded her head. Just as the seventeenth elder was about to heave a sigh of relief, she added, “You can choose to surrender yourselves.”
“Uh! Can I choose the third option?” The Seventeenth Elder refused to give up.
“1m sorry, there’s no third option,” Leng Ruoxue sneered. She did not want to waste any more words with this old man who was pretending to be a fool, so she gave everyone a look.
Everyone understood and immediately surrounded the seventeenth elder and the other phoenixes. The beasts were still baring their teeth and glaring at them like a tiger watching its prey
Sob… The seventeenth elder and the other members of the Phoenix Clan were very upset. They were actually afraid of these people or beasts who were weaker than them but were threatening them.
The Seventeenth Elder exchanged glances with the other elders and said helplessly, “We surrender.”
Sob… Those who know the truth are the elites. Surrendering is better than being beaten up and then being captured! At least they didn’t suffer any physical pain.. The seventeenth elder kept hypnotizing himself and consoling himself!
