Chapter 21: Chapter 22: The Heavenly Tribulation Arrives
Xiao Hei nodded, and let out another strange cry. The alluring butterflies seemed unwilling to leave, but still orderly left the man's body. When all the alluring butterflies had left, Wulun finally saw Huai Lin's appearance clearly. He was covered in small blood spots, and his body began to swell and turn purple. Although he had lost a lot of blood, his body was twice as big as usual, looking horrifying.
"Alright, you can talk now?" Li Ge held Xiao Hei, showing no sympathy.
Because she had lived in the mountains for a long time, Li Ge was closer to animals than to people. So, the pitiful appearance of this man didn't arouse her pity at all.
Hearing Li Ge's words, the anxiety on Wulun's face froze. He never expected this girl to be so ruthless. However, he had to admit that the girl's methods were more effective than his. He had originally wanted to use emotional tactics to make Huai Lin speak, but it seemed this girl's method was more useful. Seeing Huai Lin half-dead, Wulun didn't even admit that he was secretly happy.
Seeing that the witch didn't plead for him, Huai Lin had no choice but to stammer, "I… I was ordered by the crown prince of Lanhán to kill the Azure Wing King. The prince said that the Azure Wing King is at his weakest now and it's easy to succeed."
"The crown prince of Lanhán? How did you know Mo was in a special period?" Li Ge was puzzled. Could it be that these two countries were colluding?
She soon got the answer. Huai Lin continued, "Twenty years ago, the crown prince of Lanhán saved me. He knew I was looking for someone, so he helped me. But for twenty years, I haven't found him. The ancestral instructions said that after a thousand years, this 'wolf blood curse' would lose its effect. So, I gave it to the crown prince of Lanhán, and he passed it on to the crown prince of Chaofeng. So…"
After listening to Huai Lin's fragmented words, Wulun slapped him in the face, shouting angrily, "You are really foolish! The ancestral instructions said a thousand years, but it's only a month away! How could you forget? But luckily, you stumbled upon it and did the right thing. The Chaofeng Azure Wing King is the wolf king we were looking for. Luckily, luckily!"
Wulun said, patting his chest. Luckily, heaven had eyes and brought the Azure Wing King to our clan. Otherwise, our clan would be doomed. It didn't matter, but failing to fulfill this final wish for the little master was unbearable to face the ancestors!
Li Ge nodded secretly. The crown prince of Lanhán? She remembered it. After she left, she must avenge Mo.
"Where did the wolf that looked exactly like Mo come from?" Li Ge didn't forget the wolf that had made Mo a suspect in everyone's eyes.
Li Ge's words made Huai Lin's swollen face stiffen, and his eyes began to dodge. After hesitating for a moment, he didn't say anything. Li Ge gently stroked the smooth fur of the little one in her arms and casually asked Xiao Hei, "Xiao Hei, your friends haven't eaten enough yet. Why don't—"
"I… I'll say it." Before Li Ge could finish speaking, Huai Lin couldn't wait to speak. He even looked at the door in fear, afraid that the alluring butterflies would come back.
After so many years, he had developed a pampered habit in Lanhán, so he couldn't bear the pain he hadn't experienced for decades. Therefore, he knew that the only way to survive was to tell the truth. Thinking of this, Huai Lin stammered, "That wolf was summoned by me. I have a special skill, Master Wulun knows it. It's just that I can only summon solitary beasts. It's far inferior to beast taming. That wolf was abandoned by its pack because of its strange appearance, so I wanted to use it to confuse your vision, but I didn't expect… the wolf king is the wolf king. It's incomparable to all other beasts."
"Beast taming?" Li Ge raised her eyebrows. Could it be such a coincidence?
As soon as Li Ge's words fell, Huai Lin shook his head vigorously. He said, "It's not beast taming. I can only summon a few solitary beasts. It's far inferior to beast taming."
Li Ge didn't care about the details. She knew Mo's personality. She had to stick with him. She smiled at the wolf king and said, "Mo, let's go back and take revenge later. For now, it's most important to lift the curse."
The wolf king's eyes scanned Li Ge, but didn't release the terrifying pressure.
Li Ge was secretly happy. Mo's attitude towards her had changed from cold to basically accepting everything she said. This made her feel that Mo was coming back. So, Li Ge was in a good mood and said to the little one in her arms, "Xiao Hei, you think this Elder Huai Lin is also quite pitiful. Why don't you solve his alluring butterfly poison?"
As soon as she said that, she said to Huai Lin coldly, "Now, you can send a message to the crown prince of Lanhán, saying that the matter has been resolved. Remember, this is your only chance. If you don't seize it, Xiao Hei has many tricks waiting for you."
Huai Lin heard this and immediately wilted. He had originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to send a message to the prince for reinforcements. But now he realized that this girl was very clever. He knew that if he didn't do as she said, Xiao Hei would have many tricks waiting for him.
Li Ge put Xiao Hei down and turned around with a bright face towards the wolf king, saying, "Mo, let's go."
