The news of the imminent battle spread throughout the rock mountain. All the beasts automatically entered a state of preparation for battle. The atmosphere became very tense.
Ah Gui specially found Huanhuan and expressed that the Divine Wood clan was willing to join the battle!
When he arrived, Huanhuan was rolling out pancakes. As she stuffed the minced meat into the dough, she asked, âIs this your own opinion? Or is it the opinion of your entire Divine Wood clan?â
Ah Gui held his head high. âThe entire Divine Wood clan!â
Huanhuan smiled. âYouâre so young, but youâre so arrogant.â
âIâm not young anymore. Iâm an adult!â
âYour body is of age, but your mind is still underaged.â
Ah Gui was indignant. âIâm an adult psychologically too! Iâm an adult now!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMature adults donât represent others at will. Itâs fine if you want to participate, but you have to go back and discuss it with your people first. After youâre sure everyone agrees, you can come to me about this.â
âBut Iâ¦â
âI donât want to hear the word âbut,ââ Huanhuan said as she carefully placed the meat pancakes in a pot that had been heated up with oil. She slowly fried them. âAre you staying for dinner with us?â
âNo, Iâm going back to eat with Aunt Xue Hui.â
Huanhuan picked up two fried meat pancakes, wrapped them in tree leaves, and handed them to him. âTake them.â
The smell of the meat pancakes made him swallow. He took the food with both hands and said awkwardly, âThank you. Iâll get going.â
âOkay, bye!â
After Ah Gui left, Huanhuan continued to fry the meat pancakes slowly.
At this moment, all the beasts on the rock mountain were preparing for the upcoming battle. Even Big Goody was actively preparing for battle with her three younger brothers. Only Huanhuan was still in the mood to eat pancakes at home.
The box of ashes in the space was gone. Huanhuan guessed that Sang Ye must have found his fatherâs grave and buried his mother and father together.
She wondered where Sang Ye was nowâ¦
Huanhuan fell into a daze.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that the meat pancake was slightly charred. She quickly picked it up and put it aside.
Huanhuan took a new meat pancake and fried it in the pot. She asked casually, âDo you think weâll encounter Xing Chen and Han Ying when we attack the demons this time?â
The system, which was focused on watching cartoons, was shocked and protested loudly, âDonât casually mention the demon kingâs name. What if he really appears?!â
âIt canât be that coincidental, can it?â
âWhat if itâs just that coincidental?!â
Huanhuan replied resentfully, âAlright, letâs not talk about him then. Letâs talk about Han Ying.â
As long as the demon king was not mentioned, the system would be calm. âHan Ying is the commander of the demon raceâs army. If you want to kill any demons above the general level, you can consider targeting him.â
Huanhuan hesitated. âThatâs not good, right? No matter what, heâs Sang Yeâs biological uncle. If I give birth to Sang Yeâs children in the future, the children will have to call him âGranduncleâ.â
âAs the saying goes, familial relations donât exist on the battlefield. You have to kill even your childrenâs granduncle!â
Huanhuan still felt that this was not good. âThere are many generals of the demon race. Thereâs no need to target Han Ying.â
The system asked, âBut isnât Han Ying the only demon general youâre familiar with?â
âLetâs wait and see. Golden Crystal City has already sent people to investigate. Perhaps theyâll bring back some useful information.â
Since she said so, the system could only wish them luck.
It was not until evening that Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and the children returned. Huanhuan brought out the fried meat pancakes for them to eat.
She asked, âHowâs the training going?â
As he ate, Shuang Yun said, âPretty good. Everyoneâs morale is high.â
Bai Di poured two bowls of water for Big White and Little White. âI went to talk to He Guang. Theyâve fought with the demon army a few times recently. They know the demon army better. Heâs only seen two high-level demons above the general level. Theyâre both very strong. Unless we have experts above eight stars, we shouldnât attack them easily.â
Huanhuan immediately thought of Xue Ling. âXue Ling should be above eight stars, right?â
âMhm.â
Huanhuan made the decision. âThen let him do it.â
Bai Di stroked her head. âThereâs no hurry. Iâll discuss it with Xue Ling later.â
When Xue Ling returned, Bai Di talked to him and asked if he could help kill the demon general.
Xue Ling agreed readily. âSure. As long as Huanhuan is willing to give birth to my children, killing even 10 generals wonât be a problem!â
Huanhuan wanted to hit him. She blushed and glared at him. âCanât you be serious?!â
Xue Ling hugged her. âHaving children is the most serious thing.â
Two days later, the troops of the other five beast cities arrived at the Black River one after another. They set up camp by the river.
They were not far from He Guangâs camp, but they maintained a clear attitude.
In view of He Guangâs status as a prince, when the five city lords first arrived at the Black River, they took the initiative to greet He Guang.
The five city lords did not want to waste time. When Shuang Yun arrived, they would immediately hold a cooperative meeting to discuss their next battle plan.
Logically speaking, the Rock Wolf Tribe was the main force in this battle. Shuang Yun was equivalent to the overall commander of the entire army. However, the other five city lords were all old foxes who had been in power for a long time. How could they be willing to give up their authority so easily?
They often had differences of opinion, but neither of them was willing to give in. They all insisted that they were right. The atmosphere was very unhappy.
At first, Shuang Yun would say a few words to mediate, but later on, he couldnât be bothered and just sat still.
He leaned back and watched the five guys argue.
It wasnât until they were tired of arguing that they stopped and looked at Shuang Yun together to ask why he wasnât talking.
Shuang Yun smiled and said, âIâm a straightforward person. Compared to using my mouth, I prefer to solve problems with my fists. If you canât come to an agreement, letâs fight. Weâll listen to whoever wins.â
The five of them fell silent.
As the city lord, he actually wanted to rely on fighting to decide who everyone should listen to. If word got out, it would definitely make people laugh their heads off.
In the end, it was the city lord of Golden Crystal City who took the initiative to say, âCity Lord Shuang Yun, youâre the head commander. Give us your opinion and weâll listen to you.â
Shuang Yun chuckled.
The city lord of Golden Crystal City quickly nudged the two city lords beside him. Although they were unwilling, this stalemate was not a solution. The two of them could only say, âWeâll listen to you.â
In the end, only the city lord of Blue Crystal City remained silent.
Everyone focused their gazes on him. He smiled helplessly. âSince everyone has said so, letâs listen to City Lord Shuang Yun.â
