Chapter 236: Chapter 236 - To Play The Long Game (1)

“What I mean is, you release me, and we’ll fight again. I won’t accept it since you won unfairly like this!” the third elder argued stubbornly.

“As the saying goes, all is fair in love and war. I only want the result. As for the process? It doesn’t matter as long as it achieves my goal,” Leng Ruoxue said calmly. Well, she should still think about how to negotiate with the Dragon clan!

The third elder was so angry that he couldn’t speak, and only after a while did he manage to squeeze out, “You… You’re despicable!”

“Am I despicable?” Leng Ruoxue asked Feng Zhan with an innocent face.

“How can Master be despicable? Those who don’t know what’s good for themselves and do nothing but rely on their identity as divine beasts are the despicable ones!” Feng Zhan said softly without even looking up.

“Inflame, go invite the Dragon Emperor over!” Leng Ruoxue instructed Inflame outside.

“Okay. I’ll go find that stinky dragon now.” Inflame, who was guarding outside, immediately flew happily to find Long Hao.

After a while, Long Hao very reluctantly arrived at the third elder’s residence.

Long Hao looked at the third elder, who was growing flowers, and suppressed his laughter to say dignifiedly, ” Erm, may I know why Miss Leng is looking for me?”

“Dragon Emperor, I want to exchange him for Feng Da. Is that okay?” Leng Ruoxue asked indifferently, her beautiful eyes staring at Long Hao.

“I’m fine with it. But I don’t know…” Long Hao glanced at the third elder and stopped mid-sentence. Alas! These elders of the Dragon clan were all stubborn old men. He couldn’t force the third elder to agree even though he was the Dragon Emperor.

“Don’t even think about it. I will never hand him over to you,” the third elder said stubbornly. He would rather die than let his son lose his freedom and be controlled by humans to work like a draft animal.

“Would you rather die than submit?” Leng Ruoxue questioned coldly.?What’s wrong with this third elder?

?She really didn’t understand why this old man was so insistent.

“Yes, you can kill me. But don’t expect me to hand him over to you!” the third elder said resolutely.

“Why? Give me a reason!” Leng Ruoxue asked patiently. She couldn’t really kill the third elder, right? After all, this old man was the father of that fire dragon.

“I don’t want my son to be enslaved by humans and lose his freedom!” the third elder roared furiously.

“Who told you that being contracted with a human means that you will definitely be enslaved by humans? If I’m not mistaken, the reason why that fire dragon left the Dragon clan was that he was bullied in the clan, right? To tell you the truth, if it weren’t for me, your son wouldn’t have been able to advance to become a divine beast now. Not only are you ungrateful, but you even repaid kindness with ingratitude and captured my subordinate. Hmph!” Leng Ruoxue said with an ice-cold tone, her face covered in frost.

“No, it’s impossible!”?How can my son’s advancement to divine beast be related to this little girl? Wasn’t it Ao’er’s own efforts??The third elder was incomparably shocked and was unwilling to believe Leng Ruoxue’s words at all.

“If you don’t believe me, you can call that fire dragon over, and we can confront each other face to face,” Leng Ruoxue suggested. This old man could doubt her words, but he wouldn’t not believe the words of his son, right?

“Come, get Huo Ao to come over,” Long Hao ordered his subordinates.

“No need to get me. I’m here.” A red-haired young man walked in.

“Ao’er.”

“Father!”

“Miss, please show mercy and let my father go!” Huo Ao walked to Leng Ruoxue, knelt down, and begged. It seemed that his master was right. His father was indeed the unlucky one.?Alas! The female jinx is really too terrifying.

“You are asking the wrong person. It’s your father who is finding trouble with me.” Leng Ruoxue didn’t even look at the fire dragon, and her tone was even colder than before.

“Father, it’s all thanks to Miss that I was able to advance to divine beast,” Huo Ao explained directly. He had heard everything they said outside.

“Ao’er, is what you said true? But how is this possible? She’s only a human!” the third elder asked in disbelief, his face full of astonishment.

Even Long Hao and Feng Zhan were surprised.

“Miss is an alchemist,” Huo Ao said.

“She can concoct pills that can advance holy beasts?” Long Hao asked anxiously. If this was the case, he would have to reconsider Leng Ruoxue’s position.

Huo Ao stared at Leng Ruoxue for a while and then nodded. “Yes.”

“Miss Leng, I agree to return that human to you. Please let the third elder go!” Long Hao immediately said emphatically after hearing what Huo Ao said.

“Third Elder, do you have any objections?” Leng Ruoxue asked while looking at the third elder.

“N-no.” Although the third elder was still a little unwilling, he knew very well that he had to back down in the face of major issues concerning the Dragon clan.

“In that case, let’s exchange!”

“Okay, Miss Leng. What about our deal?” Long Hao couldn’t help asking.

“As usual, of course,” Leng Ruoxue said generously. She wanted to extend the line to catch big fish, so she would give them some benefits first.

“Very well. Let’s exchange the essence restoration grass and that human first. As for Miss Leng’s other condition, I have to discuss it with the elders,” Long Hao said amiably and sincerely.

“Stinky dragon, you really know how to take advantage of others, don’t you? My master is exchanging her subordinate for your third elder. This has nothing to do with the deal, right?” Feng Zhan said with contempt and ridicule.

“How am I taking advantage of her? Didn’t we agree on this beforehand?” Long Hao retorted awkwardly with a hot face.

“It’s okay.” Leng Ruoxue smiled generously. If she didn’t let these petty dragons take advantage of her first, how could they take the bait? Hehe, anyone who dared to take advantage of her had to pay the price.

“You stupid bird, look at how generous Miss Leng is. No wonder she can become your master,” Long Hao provoked proudly.

Feng Zhan rolled his eyes at him, despising him in his heart.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Miss.” Feng Da was brought to the third elder’s residence.

“Seems like you didn’t suffer any physical pain.” Leng Ruoxue looked at the excited Feng Da with tears in his eyes. Feng Da’s clothes were a little disheveled, and his face a little haggard, but he was in a better condition than she had imagined.
