Insufficient balance
I smiled slightly and said, "Since you want to go with me, when shall we set off?"
"Of course, the faster the better."
I hesitated for a moment and said: "Since you want to go out with me, I certainly can't call you Wolf God. What should I call you? Do you have your own names?"
The two wolf heads looked at each other in dismay and shook their heads together. The golden wolf head said, "Since the Double-Headed Wolf Clan has been single-handedly passed down through generations, we have never had a name."
I took a look at their beautiful fur and said, "Well, in that case, I'll give you guys a name. It's convenient to call you by names, so let's just call you Gold and Silver, how about it? From now on, when I say 'Gold and Silver', I'm referring to both of you as a group. If I say 'Gold', I'm talking to you." I pointed at the golden wolf's head. "And if I say 'Silver', I'm talking to you." I then pointed at the silver wolf's head.
The two heads of the Wolf God with four eyes turned and turned again. The silver wolf head said, "Although it's a bit tacky, there's no other way now, we accept."
"Whatever you call it is fine, as long as we have fun." Jin's playful heart seemed to be heavier than Yin's.
I nodded and said, "Alright, Jin and Yin, you guys hurry up with the arrangements here, then let's get out of here as soon as possible." As for leaving this place, I was more anxious than they were, it's just that I couldn't show it.
Jin shouted loudly: "Silver Arrow, come in for a moment."
A flash of silver, a swift and agile figure darted in from outside. He bowed respectfully to Jin Yin and said, "Wolf God, do you have any instructions?"
Jin looked at me and said in a low voice, "You immediately go gather all the wolf tribe elders to the Holy Temple, we have important things to announce, this matter is about the future fate of our wolf tribe, must be quick."
The Silver Arrow's body shook slightly, and he looked up at Wolf God Jin and Yin with a puzzled expression, then looked at me.
Yin said somewhat impatiently: "Hurry up and go."
Yin Jian bowed again and replied: "Yes, sir. I'll go right away." After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran out.
I said in a low voice: "Since you've gathered the wolf tribe's elders, we must discuss this carefully and absolutely cannot reveal any weaknesses."
Jin and Yin both nodded heavily, clearly still traumatized by the wolf tribe elders' "care" for them in the past.
Gold and silver led me to the back hall where they rested, the decoration here was very luxurious, the walls were painted with various rare minerals as pigments, the embossed texture was very good, the floor was covered with a long-haired carpet made of unknown materials, what surprised me most was that almost half of their house was occupied by a huge bed, these two guys wouldn't be sleeping all day, would they?
"Hey, isn't our room nice?"
He shot a glance at Jin, saying: "Stop being so smug, Lei Xiang is right. We need to discuss this carefully and unify our words. Whether we can escape this prison depends on whether we can convince those old guys later."
As for persuading the wolf tribe elder, I also feel very nervous, because only by persuading them can I truly succeed in bringing Yunna to our Beast God Sect, and gold and silver are the most advantageous tools to control them. Gold and silver, in order to spread the Beast God Sect throughout the entire beastman country as soon as possible, I have no choice but to use you.
So, I and Jinsil gathered our three heads together to concoct a deceitful tale to deceive the numerous Wolframs.
Beastman Imperial City vs. Demon King's Mansion.
Crash, boom.
Lei Hu, who had just returned from the front line, smashed one side of his room's wall into rubble with one hand, while grasping the housekeeper's neck with the other. His eyes bulged out as he squeezed his voice through gritted teeth: "Say it again, who killed my mother?"
Lei Hu relied on his robust body, which was stronger than Meng Na's, and had already recovered from the blow I dealt him initially.
Bai Hu's face turned bright red as he struggled to free himself from Lei Hu's grasp, his voice trembling with rage.
Lei Hu waved his hand and threw the butler aside, saying angrily: "You speak."
The white fox butler rubbed his throat with his hand, coughing repeatedly, and said in a trembling voice: "Second young master, it was the third young master who killed the mistress."
Lei Hu let out a mighty roar, his body overflowing with yellow energy as he punched out with incredible force, sending the white fox butler flying into bloody fragments. The room was filled with the stench of blood and flesh. As he bellowed, he continued to swing his fists wildly: "Lei Xiang, you bastard, how dare you kill my mother! I'll tear you limb from limb!"
The originally sturdy house could no longer withstand his energy's rampage, and it collapsed with a loud crash. From outside the Bimeng Wangfu, one could clearly see a faint cloud of dust rising from within the palace. Leihu emerged from the ruins, while the surrounding servants had long been frightened away without a trace.
He couldn't find an outlet for his emotions and punched the courtyard wall again.
At this moment, a huge figure blocked his way, hard to withstand his furious attack, and with a loud noise, Leihu's body was blown back into the ruins by the opponent's powerful energy.
Leona's figure, which dominated the world, appeared in his line of sight.
"You've just recovered from your injury, and now you're acting crazy again. Do you want to tear down my palace?"
Lei Hu saw his usually feared father, somewhat subdued in tone, and roared: "Dad, Lei Xiang that bastard, he...he killed my mother."
"You can be in charge for me."
Lei Ao's expression was abnormally calm, and he said lightly: "I already know about this matter. I had long since given the order that no one is allowed to call Lei Xiang a mongrel again. Did you think my words were just for show?" A majestic aura suddenly appeared on this man who was even more powerful than Meng Wang, instantly suppressing Lei Hu's furious anger.
"Lei Hu angrily said: 'I don't care who he is, he killed my mother, I will chop him into ten thousand pieces.'"
Lei Ao said, "Your mother also brought it upon herself. Who told her to provoke your younger brother for no reason? She's dead and that's that. You'd better behave yourself. I'm already annoyed that we lost the battle, if you continue to provoke me, don't blame me for not being polite to you."
Lei Hu's anger was ignited once again, his thunderous roar could be heard throughout the imperial city: "Is that all there is to it? He killed my mother, your wife!"
Lei Ao frowned and said, "There are plenty of women around, don't be foolish again. If you want to take revenge on Lei Xiang, you'll have to rely on your own strength. Last time, if I hadn't protected you, you probably wouldn't have had the chance to shout here anymore. I've made an exception and taught you the profound skills of Tianlei Xiaozhang, and promised to let you be my successor, but what about you? You're always so eager to fight and never make progress. Being unable to defeat Lei Xiang can only be blamed on your own lack of effort. As a warrior, everything depends on yourself, do you understand? However, I must remind you that for now, don't provoke Lei Xiang, he's the emperor's favored person. When I just returned, the emperor had already sent someone to inform me not to make things difficult for him because of anyone or anything."
Due to excessive clenching, the veins on Leihu's hands were exposed, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire as he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Good, Leixiang, you wait for me, one day I will let you taste the flavor of death."
Lei Ao said calmly, "Remember my words, if you want to take revenge, you have to rely on yourself, practice more. You're definitely not his opponent now. If I find out that you've destroyed anything else in the mansion again, I'll kick you out." After finishing speaking, Lei Ao turned around and left.
It seems that the Bei Meng Wang Fu needs to be renovated again. Yun Na Ling, Wolf God Temple.
I smiled slightly and said to Jin Yin, "Alright, let's leave it at that."
Jin exclaimed: "I don't believe those old guys won't surrender this time."
"Be careful later, don't reveal any weaknesses, this is the only chance. If they find out something, it will be even harder for us to escape."
"Report." Silver Arrow's voice came from outside.
Jin and Yin looked at me, Jin said: "Come in." A silver light flashed, and the Silver Arrow knelt down at the door of the house: "Reporting to Wolf God, the elders of the tribe have gathered in the Holy Temple, waiting for your instructions."
"Hmm," he replied, "you go first, we'll be right there."
"Yes." The eyes of Jīn and Yín were filled with some trepidation, and I gave them an encouraging look: "This is something that cannot be avoided. Whether or not you can regain your freedom depends on yourselves." This also concerns whether or not I can take the most solid step forward among all the beastmen. As Jīn and Yín arrived at the Holy Temple, the scene before us was truly shocking.
In the center of the temple, more than a hundred werewolves stood upright, almost all with white beards, and two-thirds of them were leaning on crutches. No wonder Jin and Yin were intimidated - anyone who encountered such a group of half-baked and unripe guys would also be frightened out of their wits.
A hoarse voice echoed throughout the temple: "Pay respects to Lord Wolf God." All the elderly wolf tribe members bowed in unison.
Jin cleared his throat and said, "No need for formalities, elders. Silver Arrow, please show the elders to their seats." As he spoke, Jin sat down in his own seat, with me sitting beside him. If we didn't let these shaky old men sit down soon, I'm afraid most of them would collapse. It's really puzzling why they still cling to power at such an advanced age - wouldn't it be better for them to go home and enjoy a peaceful retirement?
After the group of elders sat down, almost everyone cast curious, vigilant and hostile glances at me, but no one dared to ask questions because of the face of gold and silver.
"This time, I invited all the elders to come forward, there are a few things that need to be announced. Before making the announcement, I would like to express my gratitude for your care and support over the past decade."
An elderly werewolf with a full body of silver fur stood up, leaning on his cane, coughed twice and said: "Wolf God, we are all your subjects, serving you is what we should do and it's our duty. You're not going to bring up the matter of leaving again, are you? Without your leadership, our wolf tribe will return to the dark life we had before! Please reconsider."
Yin used his Dou Qi to force the sound into a line, transmitting it to me: "This old guy is the first elder of the Wolf Tribe, before we came he was the most powerful person in the Wolf Tribe, and he's also the grandfather of Silver Arrow."
Jin smiled somewhat awkwardly and said, "Elder Yin Xiang, the few things I'm going to announce today are all in the best interest of our Wolf Tribe. Please take a seat first."
It's really a family, the grandfather and grandson are both "licentious" and "crafty". Yin Lian looked at Jin Yin with some confusion, coughed twice, and sat down.
On his left, the only middle-aged silver-haired wolfman among the group of elders said: "Please instruct us, Wolf God." Silver said to me: "This wolfman is now the leader of the wolf tribe, Silver Arrow's older brother, Silver Hair." What I found incomprehensible was that the leadership of this wolf tribe were all from the Silver Arrow family.
Jin's stern gaze swept across the elderly men in front of him, and he said in a deep voice: "The first thing I want to announce is that from today on, all the wolfmen under Yunna's leadership will join the Beast God Sect."
His words were like a thunderclap, stunning the wolf tribe's elderly in attendance. Silver Hawk trembled and stood up again, respectfully saying: "Wolf God, this Beast God Sect..." Gold raised his hand to stop him from continuing, solemnly saying: "Everyone should know that our beastman tribe's highest deity is the Beast God. Without the Beast God, there wouldn't be a today for us beastmen. The Beast God Sect was established under the Beast God's guidance, and its purpose is to help us beastmen become the strongest race on the continent." The elderly immediately began whispering among themselves, clearly skeptical of his words.
Jin looked at me and I nodded for him to continue with the plan. Jin cleared his throat and continued, "Everyone, please be quiet. I'd like to ask you a question. Silver Fur, as the leader of the Wolf Clan, I'll have you answer this." Silver Fur hastily stood up, bowed and said, "Please go ahead and ask."
Jin's eyes emitted two sharp glints, staring tightly at him, and solemnly said: "I'd like to ask you, since I came to Yunna, have I been of any help to you?"
Silver fur puffed out with a thud as he knelt to the ground, extremely devoutly saying: "Wolf God, what you have bestowed upon us cannot be described in just two words - 'help'. If it weren't for your leadership and guidance in developing our production and teaching us various knowledge, Cloud Village would probably still be the most backward tribe among the beastmen, only able to be slaughtered by others. Therefore, we fundamentally do not want to believe in any Beast God; in everyone's heart, you are the only one who is truly our god."
In the end, Yin Mao was so moved that he was choked with sobs. It could be seen that he was truly grateful to Jin and Yin. Jin and Yin's eyes flashed with a hint of relief at the same time, their years of hard work had not been in vain.
All the elder wolves present knelt down with Yin Mao, and Yin Guang said: "Wolf God, is there anything we have done wrong? If so, please tell us, and we will do our best to correct it."
Jin slightly shook his head and stood up from his seat, saying in a deep voice: "Everyone, please rise. I didn't mean anything else."
He glanced at the group of elders with puzzled faces and said calmly, "The reason I asked you this question is to tell you my true identity. I am actually a member of the Beast God Sect, and it was the old man himself who sent me to help you, guide you. So, you shouldn't be grateful to me, but rather to the great Beast God. Without him, there wouldn't be our today. The Beast God has not forgotten his people."
I stood up and said, "That's right, Lord Wolf God is correct. The Beast God has not forgotten us, his people, and Lord Wolf God is one of the twelve beast gods' messengers of the Beast God faith."
Two sharp glints shot out from the silver hawk's eyes, sizing me up and down before saying, "You're clearly human, so why do you call yourself a descendant of the Beast God?"
Jin and Yin walked up to me and said, "Let me introduce everyone. This is the current vice sect master of the Beast God Sect. He's not human, but a hybrid of human and beast. His body contains the strongest bloodline of the giant beast, Bi Meng. This time, he came to Yunnan to inspect whether my work has been completed smoothly."
"In that case, of course it's going smoothly. Vice Headmaster, you should be able to see from our wolf people's lives just how great a contribution the Wolf God has made for us."
I secretly smiled to myself, knowing that they had already begun to gradually accept the Beast God religion. I smiled slightly and said, "Yes, the Wolf God has done a good job, he used over a decade to lead you all in development, but there is one thing he did extremely wrong."
I got this far, and the silver-haired one lowered his head with a hint of shame. Silver suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "What did the Wolf God do wrong? Didn't you see the prosperous scene of our Yun?"
"I calmly said: 'Tribe leader, please don't get angry. Just now, the Wolf God has already said that he is one of the twelve beast god messengers of my Beast God Church, and the twelve beast gods are the core of my Beast God Church. Their mission is to help the vast number of beasts, make you strong, and condense the entire beast nation into a most solid force. The Wolf God's mistake was that he was too self-centered, only developing in Yunna, you should know the situation on the border, although it can't be said that people are struggling to survive, but they are also living in poverty. As a member of the beast nation family, the wolf tribe has already become strong, but can you just watch other beast brothers live in hardship? The Beast God requires us to lead the vast number of beasts to prosper together, so I hope from now on, you can help the poor beasts around you and let them live a rich life like yours.'"
The silver wolf looked at me with a puzzled expression and said, "Help them? What good would that do for our wolf tribe?" I sighed and didn't respond.
Jin Dao: "Silver Hawk Elder, you and I used to think alike. What benefits can helping other clans bring to our werewolf clan? This is also one of my biggest mistakes. You all should know that in this three-nation war, we were defeated once again. Why is that? It's because our army's cohesion and combat effectiveness are too weak, due to a lack of resources and being suppressed by the demon tribe. Tell me, can our werewolf clan alone resist the Dragon God Empire and the demon tribe? No. Therefore, only by making the entire Beastman Nation strong will we have the most powerful support for our long-term development. The entire Beastman Nation is our largest home; if we can't even protect our common homeland, how can we talk about development?"
The elders below seemed to be moved by the golden voice's words. "Wolf God, what should we do then? Should we distribute the food we've stored to other races?" asked Yin Xun.
I smiled slightly and said, "I'll answer this question on behalf of the Wolf God. What you need to do is not to distribute food to them, but to give them seeds and teach them farming methods. Of course, before they have their first harvest, you still need to provide for their meals. But once they have a harvest, you can collect it back with interest. This way, you won't change the lifestyle of the Yunna people, but thoroughly help other races. What do you think, elders?"
The old face of Yin Huan showed a satisfied smile for the first time: "This method is good, I agree. There are many people around us who want to learn from us about farming, it's just that in the past... This matter will be handed over to us to handle, and we will definitely make the name of Lord Lang spread throughout the Beastman tribe."
"Wait, you're supposed to spread the Beast God's ideology, let all beastmen know that we only have one god, and that is the Beast God. It is under his care that we can become strong. All races must take the Beast God as their highest totem, and all beastmen should be the most loyal followers of the Beast God doctrine."
All the elders said in unison: "Respectfully obeying the Wolf God's decree. Swearing to be loyal to the Beast God until death." I exchanged a smile with Jin and Yin, our first goal had been achieved. Next was how to get Jin and Yin out of here.
"I said: 'Everyone, elders, because of the mistakes made by the Wolf God here, I must take him back to the Beast God to receive punishment.'"
"What? Punish Lord Wolf God? Vice Sect Master, please don't! Without Lord Wolf God, we wouldn't be here today. You can't take him away!"
Looking at this group of old wolves kneeling in front of me, I said in a deep voice: "This is the rule of the Beast God, which cannot be changed by anyone. If you do wrong, you must accept punishment, however..."
"What's wrong?" asked Yinmao hurriedly.
"However, as long as you all listen to the Beast God's will from now on and do what was just said well, the Beast God will definitely go easy on the Wolf God. The better you do and the more beastmen you help, the lighter the Wolf God's punishment will be."
Yin Lie hurriedly said: "We will, we definitely will. However, Vice Sect Master, can you not take away Lang Shen? Without his guidance, our Wolf Tribe will lose direction and be unable to move forward."
Jin and Yin harbored a deep resentment in their hearts. Every time it was this old man who blocked their way, not letting them leave. This time if they didn't go, later there would be no more opportunities.
Ginta, who had not spoken until now: "Silver Wing Elder, I understand your concern for us, but when one makes a mistake, they must accept punishment. As a member of the Wolfman tribe, I will bravely face this. Don't worry, nothing will happen to me. After some time has passed, the Beast God will send other messengers to help you."
I hastily chimed in: "The Wolf God didn't commit a serious offense, I'll take him back to deal with it and he'll be back as soon as possible."
The silver-haired one bowed respectfully and said: "Master, you must put in a good word for our Lord Wolf God! All of us wolf people will be grateful to you."
Jin and Yin suppressed the excitement in their hearts, Jin said: "You can rest assured, I am a good friend with the vice sect master, he will definitely speak for me in front of Beast God."
Dizzy, these two guys have made me a "good friend" just to leave here. The overall situation has been settled, and the Wolf God announced a series of reform methods, arranging the future development of the wolf tribe in an orderly manner. This guy is indeed much smarter than humans with his two brains.
Every time they announce a policy, the elders below can't help but give their heartfelt approval. This guy is indeed a talent.
"Everyone, I'm counting on you. Do as I say and our werewolf tribe will surely become the strongest among all beastmen. Tomorrow, I'll quietly leave with the vice masters, so don't come to see us off."
As he spoke, Jin's words were tinged with a inexplicable sadness, after all, he had lived here for over a decade and there were some emotions that were hard to let go of.
All the elder wolves stood up neatly, under the leadership of Yin Hui and Yin Mao, they knelt down on the ground with a rustling sound, knocking their heads three times: "See off Lord Wolf God."
Jin and Yin's eyes shone with tears as they excitedly walked up to Silver Spear, their hands respectively supporting their grandson: "Elder, Clan Leader, while I'm away, the Wolf Tribe will be in your care."
"Lord Wolf God, you must come back soon. We will all miss you." Yin Huan tightly hugged Yin Huan, and Yin burst into tears, while Jin sighed endlessly.
Seeing this scene, I doubted for the first time whether I had done wrong and whether I should not have encouraged Wolf God to leave his hometown. Of course, this thought only flashed by.
I saw off the elders and patted Jin and Yin on the shoulder, saying: "Now you still have time to regret."
Jin and Yin suddenly turned around, both of their faces simultaneously shouting: "Ah! Liberated! Regret? We won't regret it at all. From now on, we'll just come back often to take a look." I was stunned, they really were playing with their hearts more than anything else. I helplessly said: "Then you two still don't hurry up and pack your things."
A flash of gold and silver light, and it disappeared before my eyes.
I couldn't help but shake my head and followed them, by the time I walked into their room, it was already in a mess, clothes were flying everywhere, the whole house was messed up.
One moment it was gold, the next silver, they were having a grand old time. I couldn't help but laugh and say: "Just take what you need, taking too much is cumbersome."
Jin was packing things up while saying to me: "We have made such a great sacrifice for you, how will you repay us?"
"Return the favor? No need, you guys have also achieved your goal of going out to play, right? Otherwise, I'll help you find a beautiful woman with a great figure in the Demon Clan next time." As I said this, I couldn't help but think of Mo Yue's stunning figure and beautiful appearance, and my heart skipped a beat.
Unexpectedly, Yin Nuohou let out a loud roar: "No way, you dare, if you find a beautiful demon girl for me, I'll tear her to shreds."
I was left speechless by her. Jin Ze had a helpless expression on his face: "What? Yin, don't you like beautiful women?"
Yin suddenly looked down with a hint of shyness and said: "I, I'm just a beauty, aren't I?"
The silver one made me feel like I was laughing and crying at the same time: "What? You're actually female."
"None, she is the only female, and I am male, we are a pair of yin-yang."
What's this "hermaphrodite" you speak of? I'd never heard of it before, and my interest was piqued. "What do you mean by 'hermaphrodite'?" I asked.
"We Double-Headed Wolves are all hermaphrodites, with the golden head being male and the silver head being female. Once we reach a certain age, we can produce offspring through our own bodies."
I stupidly said: "Automatically, how can you use one body?"
A flash of gold and silver light, and before I could react, I was heavily blown out. Fortunately, the wall of this room is still quite solid. Silver's angry voice came: "You actually asked someone such a question?"
"It wasn't me, it was her."
I stood up, rubbing the sore spot on my chest, and apologized to Yin: "Sorry, sorry, I was rude, I just asked because I was too surprised, really sorry."
Yin's face finally eased up, and she pouted: "Don't ask people such questions in the future." "Yes, Miss Yin. Then how old do you have to be to have a baby?"
"You're asking for it!" The golden light flashed again. Although I was prepared this time, my power without transformation was far inferior to theirs, and I was beaten out once more.
"Jīn's voice came: 'I'm not too clear about this either, it should be over 200 years old, I guess you won't see it. Yín, don't have such a big temper, we still count on him to take us out to play.'"
Yin angrily said: "Are you a man or not? He bullied me like this and you didn't help me, humph." Jin helplessly said: "He was just asking questions, he didn't do anything to you anyway."
Yin Da was furious: "What do you mean I'm not being taken care of? Do you want him to take care of me or something? Don't bother with me anymore."
I walked over with a frown, looking at their interesting expressions. Jin was at a loss for what to do, while Yin turned her head to the side, pretending to be angry. They were indeed inseparable, no matter how much they quarreled, they couldn't leave each other's side. How amusing! "Alright, alright, stop arguing and hurry up with packing, don't you want to leave early?"
