Insufficient balance

  I smacked my lips, and there was a sweet taste. What a coincidence that the roof leaks on a rainy night! I secretly prayed that it wouldn't be poison.

  In a moment of confusion, I swallowed a black gemstone. As the gemstone dissolved and flowed into my abdomen, my body suddenly felt like it had entered an ice cellar, becoming extremely cold all over. A stream of icy air branched off and swirled around my chest, making me feel as though there was a warm, nourishing energy maintaining my heartbeat. I secretly panicked - wasn't this going to freeze me to death?

  Gradually, the meridians in my body were completely washed away by this cold medicinal power, and I fainted with a numbness all over my body.

  In fact, this black gem is not a poison, but rather a great tonic. The demon tribe no longer produces it now. Not only does it have a dazzling appearance, but it also contains a large amount of magic power inside. Its academic name is called Ink Crystal, and it is also known as the Demon Stone. The entire demon tribe can't find twenty pieces, and the crown on the Demon Emperor's head is inlaid with a piece of Ink Crystal that is twice the size of the one I ate earlier.

  In the demon clan, Mo Jing can be said to be a national treasure. It has two effects: one is to wash the tendons and make the meridians in the body more resilient; another effect is that it can change the physique, turning those who are not suitable for learning dark magic into those who can learn dark magic. For those who are naturally of a dark physique, it also has the effect of consolidating magical power to protect the meridians. In the past, the Demon Emperor used a small piece of Mo Jing to wash Mo Yue's tendons and make her meridians easier to cultivate, adding his own dark magic to enable Mo Yue to successfully complete the transformation into a Fallen Angel.

  However, apart from the Demon Emperor, no one else would dare to consume such a precious item. For a fallen angel, washing their bones and replacing their marrow isn't very useful, and ordinary people wouldn't have the fate to practice the Tianmo Quan even if they changed their physical body. Back then, Xiuster Fei was unable to gather twenty pieces of treasure, so he had no choice but to use the most precious Ink Crystal as a substitute. Each piece of Ink Crystal he gave me is worth over a million gold coins in the demon world.

  The medicinal effect of Mo Jing is now most suitable for me, its medicinal power first opens up all my meridians, then reconnects them, and drives out the original dark magic in me to circulate continuously.

  When I first practiced the Crazy Divine Technique, I had once cleared all the meridians in my body, but due to the overbearing power of the Crazy Divine Technique, the meridians inside me became stiff and brittle.

  This time, with the power of Mo Jing, not only did I undergo another marrow washing and bone transformation, but my meridians also became more expanded and resilient, having an immeasurable impact on my future cultivation path.

  Early in the morning, the dazzling sunlight passed through the window and slowly woke me up. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my chest, and I let out a loud cry as two mouthfuls of black blood spurted out like a fountain.

  Black blood fell down, staining the clothes in front of my chest extremely dirty.

  I'm done, I'm going to die. I desperately await the departure of my life. However, after a while, about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, I feel extremely refreshed and comfortable all over, with an unprecedented sense of ease. I narrow my eyes, stretch out my hand to scratch my head, thinking: Am I not dead yet? Wasn't that poison? Suddenly, I gaze at my own hand in astonishment, because I used my right hand. Overjoyed, I quickly examine the meridians within my body and discover that not only have all the meridians fully connected, but they've also undergone a significant transformation compared to before - if the previous meridians were gentle streams, now they're like the Yangtze River. With just a slight circulation of Qi, the dark magic power surges through my body, and at the heart meridian, there's a warm, flowing current constantly circulating, gradually merging with my dark magic power as it fluctuates.

  Because of the overbearing medicinal properties of Mo Jing, any Mo Jing that has been processed by human hands will be made with the finest medicinal materials. The effect of these top-grade medicinal materials is to protect the heart meridian from being damaged by that overbearing power.

  Oh heavens, my meridians have been restored!

  I was so excited that I jumped out of bed after lying there for over a month, and I danced with joy.

  It took me a good half day to calm down from my excitement, although I didn't know exactly what was going on, but I also understood that it must have been the effect of the black gemstone I had eaten. Great, I didn't expect this gemstone to be so useful, now I don't have to worry about getting seriously injured again. In fact, with my current meridian strength, it's not easy to break again even if I want to.

  I sat cross-legged, stirring up the dark magic within my body to circulate. After running a cycle, I slowly retracted my energy. The dark magic hadn't strengthened compared to before, but it had become more refined, surpassing even my optimal state. On the other hand, the Crazy God's aura was still extremely weak and hadn't recovered.

  Just then, footsteps sounded and Wolf walked in. Seeing my appearance, he exclaimed with joy: "Young Master, are you better?" I smiled and shook my head, saying: "I'm not fully recovered yet, but I've made great progress. From today on, don't disturb me, I'll be meditating for a few days to recover my strength. When I'm back to normal, it's time for us to leave this place." Wolf said excitedly: "Great! We can finally leave this haunted place!"

  My face sank, and I said: "Don't mention my injury recovery for now, not even to our own people. It's better if others don't find out from your expressions. First, get me some food, I need to replenish my energy. After eating, I'll start my seclusion." ... In my joyful state, I didn't even change clothes before starting my seclusion.

  I dispersed the dark magic into my meridians, focusing my mind to condense the Crazy God's Fighting Aura. At first, it was extremely difficult to condense due to the excessive depletion of aura, but after two expansions of my meridians, my aura circulation speed increased significantly compared to before. When I completed the 49th cycle of seven weeks, the Crazy God's Fighting Aura not only recovered to its original state but also surpassed it. I gritted my teeth and began to operate according to the fourth layer of the Crazy God's cultivation method.

  The current practice is much smoother than before, and I have not encountered any obstacles. After another 49-day cycle, I successfully broke through the fourth layer. I know that I must not be too greedy, if I rush forward too quickly, there will be a risk of going crazy, so I sink the Crazy God's Fighting Qi into my Dantian, slowly waking up from meditation.

  At this point, I finally recovered all my strength and my abilities were further enhanced. After moving around in the room for a while, I felt that my whole body was filled with explosive power.

  I picked up Mo Ming from the bed, stroking its hilt with deep feeling. Without it, I'm afraid I'd still be lying in bed like a useless person. I sighed and said, "Mo Ming, my best friend, thank you."

  The ink-like darkness seemed to come alive, the sword's light swirling and emitting a faint tremble. I pushed open the door, and the azure sky was as clear as my mood. I took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and a weak snore came from the side. I turned my head to see that Wolf was leaning against the wall, dozing off. During this time when I was injured, it was always him and the bear-like guardian who were taking care of me. This guy was really exhausted.

  I patted him on the shoulder, and Wolf suddenly woke up from his sleep, saw me, and exclaimed with surprise: "Young Master, you're out of prison."

  My physical recovery made me feel great, I smiled and said: "Thanks for your hard work, brother."

  Wolf had never seen me with such a gentle expression before, and he said in surprise: "Young master, don't say that, this is what I should do."

  I laughed and said, "Alright, don't mention those things anymore. Look at my disheveled state, get me some water, I want to wash up and change clothes. Then have those guards or whatever they are called bring me something to eat, I'm starving. By the way, how many days did I spend in seclusion?"

  "Wolf said: "It's not just a few days, you've been closed for eleven days."

  "Ah! Has it been that long? I thought it was just a little while."

  "Young master, I'll go get you some water first." Wolf excitedly ran off. It's clear that after these days of interaction, among the guards, both he and Meng Ke have a certain degree of recognition towards me, especially him, who has always been following by my side. Right, that Meng Ke is still at the Sai Si territory, I need to go find Lang Shen later and send someone to pick him up.

  As for the wolf god, I am now very reassured in my heart because I have understood his needs for me. As long as I lead him by the nose, I'm not afraid he won't do what I want.

  After washing up, changing into new clothes and having a full meal, I suddenly felt refreshed and rejuvenated. My original hope of promoting the Beast God religion to unite the beastman tribe was rekindled in my heart once again.

  I called out to Wolf and asked, "During the time I was recovering from my injuries, how's your kung fu coming along?" Wolf looked a bit embarrassed and said, "The brothers have all made some progress, but I'm a bit behind."

  I smiled and said, "Don't worry, you have a good foundation. This period of time has been tiring for you because of me. Practicing the skill can't be rushed, or it will backfire. How about this? Your mind is quite clever, go find some paper and pen and come to my room."

  Wolff was overjoyed, knowing what I was going to teach him, and he quickly ran out like a child to fetch paper and pen. In an hour's time, I wrote down the training methods for primary fire magic and wind magic on paper.

  I handed him the paper and said, "Follow the method on the paper to practice. This is the magic of humans and demons. Your foundation is mainly in martial arts, try to merge the learned magic into it, which will be an improvement for you. Wind and fire system magic are relatively easier to practice, and there are more types of attacks. If other brothers are interested, you can let them practice together."

  Wolf's hands trembled as he took the paper: "This... this is magic?"

  "I smiled and said: 'This is not magic, it's paper, look.'"

  I muttered an incantation, and a small fireball appeared in my hand. "Use your aura to defend!" I shouted, throwing the fireball at him. Wolf was initially startled, but quickly reacted by swiftly drawing his hands, releasing a pale blue aura that dissolved the fireball I had sent out, exploding into a sky full of sparks.

  "Are you clear? This is magic, I think you're more suitable for practicing wind system magic, you can try it out, but don't give up on internal energy either. No matter what kind of kung fu, when it reaches the highest level, they are basically from the same source." Wolf nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes." He couldn't bear to put down the practice method in his hand.

  I shook my head and smiled, saying: "You can go try now, I'm fine, don't need your protection." Wolf looked at me for a moment, I nodded to him, saying: "Go ahead."

  He bowed deeply: "Thank you, young master." He turned and ran. These are what he should have gotten, can't let them follow me for nothing, in the future, they will be the backbone of the Beastman tribe. Now, I should go find that so-called Wolf God. I reached out to summon Mo Ming, and walked out of the house door.

  At the gate of our residence, the centaur guards and tiger people guards are on duty. Seeing me coming over, they hurriedly salute with respect. Their eyes all reveal a joyful color. I am the spiritual pillar in their hearts, and my recovery also represents that they have gained hope to leave.

  "You don't need to stay here on guard, those werewolves shouldn't harm us, let's all go down and train. Normally sweat more, in battle bleed less, you are all people I brought out from home, I hope you can all return with me safely."

  "Yes, young master."

  I pushed them open and stepped out of the courtyard, but before I had taken a few steps, I was stopped by the Wolf God Guard team. This was a small squad of warriors consisting of ten wolfman soldiers.

  The leader of the small team looked at me vigilantly and asked, "Hurry back to the Jing She, you're not allowed out." I coldly snorted, "What are you, do I need you to control me? I'm not your prisoner."

  My words instantly enraged them, and ten wolf-like soldiers surrounded me. I looked at them disdainfully and said, "Do you think you can hold me back just because of you? Your Silver Arrow Commander is still my defeated subordinate, can you surpass him?"

  The squad leader said calmly: "Regardless of whether we have the ability to keep you, we must do our best, this is our duty."

  "This guy will definitely not just be a small team leader in the future. I'm not looking for trouble myself. With a faint smile, he said: 'Since that's the case, I won't make things difficult for you either. Go find Silver Arrow and tell him I want to see your Wolf God.'"

  The team leader nodded and said, "Okay, then you wait here for a while." It was clear that he had let out a sigh of relief. After all, both I and their Wolf God could fight to the point of mutual destruction. With his skills, how could he possibly withstand me? No one wanted to die in vain. I stood still with my eyes closed, cultivating my spirit. The air here was very comfortable, cool and refreshing with a hint of plant fragrance. That Wolf God guy really knew how to choose a place.

  "Do you want to see the Wolf God?" Silver Arrow's voice came from afar.

  I opened my eyes to see this guy running over quickly, the small team leader who went to report was far behind him. I asked curiously: "Didn't your Wolf God tell you that after I recovered from my injury, I wanted to talk to you about something important?"

  Yin Jian ran up to me, sizing me up and down, saying: "Wolf God-sama had instructed us as such, but I didn't think you could recover so quickly. No wonder Wolf God-sama said you have a life force as stubborn as a cockroach."

  I angrily said, "What, that guy dares to say I look like a cockroach. Watch me settle the score with him later. Come on, quickly take me to see him." Silver Arrow nodded and led the way in front, while the wolfman squad from earlier hastily made way.

  He wasn't walking fast, just a normal pace, when Silver Arrow suddenly said: "I have a question to ask you."

  "Go ahead and ask."

  "Did you hold back when we were competing with each other at first?"

  I shook my head and said, "I didn't hold back anything. At that time, I was indeed giving it my all."

  "Silver Arrow turned around in anger: "You're lying, if you had gone all out when we were fighting each other back then, why would you still be able to fight Wolf God-sama to a draw? The gap between me and Wolf God-sama is immeasurable."

  I smiled slightly and said, "When I was fighting you at first, I didn't hold back, but I did hide some of my skills. When using my full strength to fight you, there's also the Wolf God behind you, so I couldn't reveal all my trump cards at once. Naturally, I reserved my magic and special skills."

  After listening to my explanation, Yin Jian's face looked slightly better and he said: "Since you have enough ability, why did you still use that method for the final blow?"

  I smiled wryly and said, "Old brother, think about it carefully. I've already told you that there's still the Wolf God behind you. If I exhaust too much physical strength on you, how can I deal with him? You're not unaware of his abnormality. If I don't use special skills, I basically have no chance of winning."

  "Silver Arrow angrily said: 'You are not allowed to speak ill of Lord Wolf God.'"

  I raised both hands and said, "Alright, alright, alright, let's not speak ill of him. Shall we hurry up and go? Do you want to keep your great Wolf God waiting?"

  Yin Jian hummed and turned to continue walking towards the temple. The temple was as grand as it was when I first saw it, and I exclaimed in surprise: "Your efficiency is quite high, it's been repaired so quickly."

  Silver Arrow glared at me and said, "The surface has been repaired, but the seal is gone. The Wolf God said that after he recovers from his injuries, it will take at least three months to re-lay the formation to restore its original state. You wait here, I'll go in and report."

  The temple guardian's expression was a mix of anger and fear, which looked quite interesting. I just wanted to tease them a bit, when the Silver Arrow suddenly ran out: "Go in, the Wolf God is waiting for you inside."

  "I asked: 'Aren't you going in?' Silver Arrow shook his head."

  It seems that the Wolf God wants to have a private conversation with me, and I became even more determined in my thoughts, striding into the temple. The temple was bathed in light under the illumination of the magic lamp, and the Wolf God stood with his back to me at the center of the great hall. He still wore that cloak, only without covering his head this time.

  A clear voice said: "You're here, are you healed from your injuries?"

  I frowned and said, "I don't like talking to someone's back."

  The Wolf God's body shook, and he turned around, both wolf heads filled with surprised expressions. The Golden Wolf Head said: "Your vital energy is full, could it be that your injury has completely healed?"

  "I said irritably: 'What, you want me to lie in bed for a lifetime?'"

  The Silver Wolf Head said, "That's not it, but our injuries have only recovered to 70% so far. When we first saw you, your entire body was severed and you couldn't move at all. But in just over a month, you've fully recovered. This is somewhat inconceivable for us. Is it the power of that sword? We've studied the black sword you have, and it seems to contain a large amount of unpredictable energy, but we don't know how to activate it."

  I smiled slightly and said, "You guessed it right, it was indeed Mo Ming who saved me. Because of the resonance with my soul, when I was injured, it could transmit some of its own power to me to help me heal."

  I certainly won't mention Mo Jing's affairs, and it's also reasonable to say so. Without Mo Ming, I really can't recover.

  The Golden Wolf Head said with a tinge of regret: "What a pity that it has already acknowledged its master, and is of the Dark attribute... Alas..." Judging from his appearance, he seemed to have thoughts of taking it for himself.

  I don't want to continue discussing this topic with them, so I said seriously: "I came here today just to have a good talk with you. I'm very curious about your affairs, and you also have some desire to know me. Since that's the case, why don't we all reveal our secrets?"

  Two wolf heads looked at me with interest, and the golden wolf head said: "Alright, you go first."

  I nodded and said, "Since this idea was mine to begin with, I should be the one to say it first. My name is Lei Xiang, and I'm a hybrid of human, demon, and beast bloodlines - overall, there's more beastman blood in me."

  Having heard this, the Wolf God did not feel surprised, because from my performance, they had already seen that I must be a mixed-blooded person. I continued to say: "My father is the first brave warrior of the beastman today."

  The two heads of the Wolf God simultaneously fell silent and said: "Bimon King."

  "What? It seems that my father still has some status in your minds!"

  The wolf god smiled awkwardly, and the golden wolf head said: "Among the beastmen, what can make us feel fearful is probably only him. We once disguised ourselves and fought with your father, but were beaten so badly that we almost couldn't retreat wholeheartedly."

  Their words made me secretly shocked, originally I thought that with the Wolf God's strength, it should be evenly matched with Father, but unexpectedly, Father actually had such strong strength, no wonder he could rival the Dragon Rider.

  "I am not only the son of King Mong, but also the adopted son of the Beast Emperor. My mission is to assist the Beast Emperor in unifying the entire beastman tribe and making them develop into one of the three strongest forces on the continent."

  The Silver Wolf Head said: "You're wrong to say that, the Beastman Country is the Beast Emperor's in itself, what's there to unify?"

  Before I could even respond, Jin Lang's head rushed to say: "You're so stupid, the Beast Emperor is nominally the king of the beastmen, but how many territories can he really control? At least our territory he can't fully command."

  I nodded and said, "You're absolutely right. The Beast Emperor can now control only his own Lion tribe and my father's Bimon tribe. As for the other tribes, they often pretend to obey but secretly disobey. So, I'll represent the Beast Emperor to personally take care of them."

  The Silver Wolf Head sneered and said: "You think you can with just you and your dozen or so subordinates?"

  I said calmly, "Not bad, just relying on me and my subordinates. Since I've promised to be honest with you, of course, I'll tell you about my plan, so that you know I really have the possibility of completing this task. I'm still under 18 years old, more than a year ago, I was sent to the Dragon God Empire by the Beast Emperor. The Beast Emperor is very wise and wants the beastmen to flourish. However, as you all know, the intelligence of the beastmen is very low. Although in terms of numbers, our beastman tribe is not less than other tribes, but our combat power is much weaker. Why? It's because we don't have a commander with superior tactics or experts who can break through enemy lines. My purpose for going to Dragon God was to spend several years learning their knowledge and then bring it back to the beastmen. That's how I ended up in the human kingdom."

  As I spoke up to here, the Wolf God's four eyes shone brightly, and the Silver Wolf Head asked: "Is the human tribe fun?"

  I gazed wistfully and said, "That's a beautiful country. The food there, the people there, the scenery there... even now, thinking about it still fills me with longing."

  Everything I said is true, especially for the sisters Ziyan. Every time it's late at night and people are quiet, I think of them, and it's also the hope of seeing them again that motivates me.

  The light in Langshen's eyes grew brighter, and Yinlang's head hung low as he said: "Unfortunately, we can't leave here, or else I'd really like to go over there and take a look."

  I secretly rejoiced in my heart, knowing they had already started taking the bait.

  "After more than a year of hard work, I finally completed the task and returned to the Beastman Empire with a wealth of knowledge. After consulting with the Beast Emperor, we decided to unify the entire Beastman Empire through religious means. This way, we can strip the tribal leaders of their power and return the Beastman Empire to the Beast Emperor's control, and then govern it properly, which will surely make our Beastman Empire strong."

  "Religious method?" Jin Lang Tou said: "Is your Beast God Envoy identity also derived from this?"

  I nodded in surprise at the wisdom of the Wolf God, "Not bad, we are going to organize the Beast God Sect. As is well known, the Beast God is the god of all beastmen, and it is only reasonable to use his name. Our plan is to eliminate all bandits under the name of the Beast God's messenger, and then send others with the same identity to help poor areas develop agriculture, smelting, and let them escape poverty, making the Beast God Sect deeply rooted in people's hearts. After a few years, when the Beast God Sect prospers, the Beast Emperor will announce that he is the leader of the Beast God Sect, ordered by the Beast God to lead the beastmen tribe to develop, thus naturally achieving the goal of unifying the beastmen tribe." Silver Wolf puffed out his chest and said, "So you're going to clear us out as bandits? With just these twenty people? I'm afraid it's more likely than the Mongol Army coming."

  I smiled slightly and said, "At the beginning, when I knew of your existence, I indeed wanted to exterminate you all. But when I saw the prosperous scene of Yun, it changed my mind. You must not ask me how I came to know that you were hiding here, this is something I will never say."

  The golden wolf head said angrily: "What is called hiding, we are openly and fairly settling here. You tell us all these things, aren't you afraid that we will expose you in front of other tribes? We still have some weight in front of other tribes." I said: "Okay, let's assume you are open and fair, as for whether you will expose me or not, I still have confidence. Now it's your turn, my story is over, I think the great wolf god won't tell lies to deceive me, right?"

  The wolf god puffed out his chest, and the golden wolf head said: "What's good to cheat about? You just want to know our origins, right? Let me tell you, our double-headed wolf clan has existed since ancient times. Back then, rare birds and beasts were everywhere. That nine-headed worm in the neighboring domain was also around back then."

  I smiled and said, "So to say, you are indeed the so-called Wolf God." The Silver Wolf Head said, "Actually, saying we are Wolf Gods isn't wrong either. With our strength, we absolutely surpass all of the wolf tribe."

  The Golden Wolf Head said: "Later, our clan was almost wiped out in the war between gods and demons at that time, leaving only this single lineage. Let me tell you, we are nearly a hundred years old now. Speaking of which, your father's generation is even younger than us." A hundred years old? Old monster?

  I said with doubt: "You are all so old, aren't you going to die of old age?"

  "Pah, pah, pah, you're going to die! We are still in our prime."

  The Golden Wolf Head said: "Our Double-Headed Wolves' lifespan is very long, we can live for more than 500 years. In other words, according to your way of speaking, we are now just around twenty years old."

  I smiled and said: "Since you're only twenty years old, don't pretend to be a senior in front of me. Continue, how did you get here? In the history of beastmen, there has never been a double-headed wolf."

  The Golden Wolf Head said: "Since our clan only has us left, we Double-Headed Wolves have always lived in a secluded and safe forest. Our intelligence is not inferior to that of humans at all. Moreover, with two brains, we can think twice as fast and learn extremely quickly. However, it's also because of this double-heartedness that we are unable to reach the ultimate realm."

  "I asked in surprise: 'Why is that?'"

  The two wolf heads glared at each other, and with one of their wolf hands, they pointed to the other's head, saying furiously: "It's all because he always fights me for control of our body."

  "I advised them: 'Don't quarrel, continue speaking.'"

  The golden wolf head looked at the silver wolf head with a hint of embarrassment and said, "In our generation, we were also able to live in peace and quiet, practicing diligently in the forest, living a carefree life. Until over ten years ago, one day, after finishing our practice, just as we were about to find something to eat, suddenly, a strange human burst into our lives. When we saw him, he was already on the brink of death. Originally, we wanted to save his life, but who knew that his injuries were too severe and he died soon after...".

  At this point, the golden wolf head seemed somewhat embarrassed, and the silver wolf head continued, "Why not say it? You don't want to say it, I'll say it. That person is already dead, so we took everything from him and buried him. What's there to be embarrassed about?" After finishing speaking, she also gave the golden wolf head a glare.

  I smiled slightly and said, "You're right, material things are brought neither at birth nor taken away at death. It's better to leave them for the living to use." The golden wolf head sighed bitterly and said, "It was precisely because of those things that we were prompted to come here. You see, when we first took things from him, there was a book among them called 'The Strange Tales of the Continent'. Since we were born clever, our parents had taught us to recognize characters before they left us, so that we could practice. We read that book and became deeply infatuated with its contents, yearning to leave the forest life behind. So, we finally left our ancestral home and came to the Beastman Country. At first, we played very happily, and no one noticed us. But then, we met a wolf man who saw us and bowed exceptionally respectfully, saying that we were the Wolf Gods. It was all because of our momentary greed, wanting to experience the thrill of being a wolf god, that we followed that wolf man here."

  I said, "Isn't that great? At least here you are respected as wolf gods. You look like you're regretting something. Are you regretting leaving your den in the forest?"

  The Golden Wolf Head said, "We don't regret leaving that forest, but we do regret coming here. At first, everything about this place was novel to us, and all the wolf people treated us with unusual respect. They even chose this place to build a temple for us to live in. When we first arrived, Yunna was just like any other territory, extremely poor and plagued by bandits. To repay the kindness of these wolf people, we used our intelligence to help them improve their situation, and after several years of effort, it has been very effective, as you saw when you came. At the same time, to avoid unnecessary trouble, I ordered all the wolf people to keep the news sealed, not to let Yunna's current situation be known outside."

  I exclaimed in surprise: "Since you've done everything so well, what's there to regret?"

  The Silver Wolf let out a sigh and said, "Because we helped the wolf people improve their living conditions, they have even more reverence for us. Since we left our original place, we wanted to see more places and pursue some new things. However, every time we bring up leaving, a large group of white-bearded wolf people cry and wail, not letting us go. When they get anxious, they threaten us with death. After all, we've been here for over ten years and have deep feelings for everything here. We really can't bear to leave like this. Life here is not as free as it was when we were in the forest, so we regret it."

  I thought to myself, it's just as I judged, these two guys like to pursue novelty and are afraid of loneliness, so they're easy to deal with.

  I nodded and said: "So that's how it is. Alright, now we've both understood each other. I have a question to ask you."

  The wolf god nodded and said, "Go ahead."

  I said in a low voice: "My question is, what do you want to do with me, let me go or kill me, give me an answer." The two wolf heads looked at each other, unable to speak for a moment.

  "I said in a cold voice: 'I don't have time to stay here with you mushrooms. If you want to kill us, the wolf tribe will also have to pay a considerable price and face the danger of being exterminated by the Beast Emperor. Think carefully.'"

  The two wolf heads looked at each other and nodded, the golden wolf head said: "We've thought it through, we can let you go, but there's one condition." I thought to myself: "Here it comes." "Speak,"

  The Golden Wolf's voice changed, and he begged: "Take us with you, we're really fed up with living here."

  I was overjoyed in my heart, but I frowned and said, "How can that be? Take you away, your wolf cubs will not eat me up."

  "Impossible, impossible," Silver Wolf Head said hastily. "You can use the Beast God's name, and when the time comes, we'll cooperate with you. We'll just say that the Beast God has a task for us, and it'll be fine, won't it?"

  I sat silently, not speaking, deep in thought. The golden wolf head hastily said: "You bringing us along will have its benefits." I tilted my head and said: "Oh, what benefits?"

  The Golden Wolf Head said: "If you lead us away, we can let you recover Yunna Territory without bloodshed and make all the wolfmen join your Beast God Cult. How about that? Isn't such a condition tempting enough?"

  I was overjoyed in my heart, this is exactly what I wanted. On the surface, I calmly said: "This condition is indeed very tempting, but if you follow me, you have to agree to two conditions."

  To avoid future troubles, I must secure the greatest advantage for myself. The Wolf God said, "Speak." I said in a low voice, "Firstly, you must follow my arrangements and not take any private actions." Silver Wolf's head was stunned, "Isn't that making us your subordinates?"

  I glared at him and said, "Not a subordinate, but a friend. Second, you must help me with the entire Beastman Restoration Plan." The Golden Wolf Head said, "This is simple, the restoration process should be very interesting, we agree."

  The Silver Wolf Head suddenly covered the Golden Wolf Head's mouth with his hand and said, "Don't agree to it yet. That whatever Lei Xiang, you want us to agree to your terms, what can you guarantee for us?"

  This guy is really cunning, not willing to suffer any loss. I smiled slightly and said, "My guarantee is that following me, your lives will be very exciting. Is that enough?"

  The Silver Wolf Head withdrew his hand from pressing down on the Golden Wolf Head and said with relish: "Deal."

  I stretched out both hands and simultaneously with the two hands controlled by the two heads of the Wolf God, we struck a triple blow. And so, I and my lifelong most important partner - the Wolf God, made an unchanging pact for life.
