Chapter 824 - 467: Talented Youth
...
"I would have invited you in a gentler way, but I was sure you wouldn’t accept the invitation, so I had to use other methods to bring you here," he said with a smile, as if there was nothing wrong with kidnapping someone.
"When we were in the sacred dungeon, we were such good friends," he said. "And I noticed you have a special relationship with Yan Xiaobao. If I tell him you’re here, I’m sure he’ll come see me soon."
"Don’t worry, your stay here will be very pleasant. No one will be unkind to you, and I will ensure you remain in contact, so you won’t feel bored." He continued, like an excited child.
"Why are you so concerned about Yue?" she suddenly asked. "In the underground city, you were only interested in him, and now you’ve resorted to kidnapping me to have him visit you."
Hearing this question did not anger Zhong Hui. Instead, it made him laugh. "I like talented young people; I’m sure you already know that."
"So far, every talented youth I’ve discovered has become part of my frozen army, but this time is different. Although he is the most talented young person I’ve ever seen, I just want to be friends with him. There are some goals in life that I cannot achieve on my own, but with his help, I have a very good chance of accomplishing them."
Sha Yun asked no more questions. She had seen Zhong Hui before, and she knew about his obsession with Yan Xiaobao. Hearing that he hoped to have Yan Xiaobao help him with something, Sha Yun was no longer afraid. If Yan Xiaobao found out she was mistreated, no doubt he would ensure he took revenge on General Frozen and, in turn, never help him.
Sha Yun quietly exchanged some chilly words with General Frozen. He wanted to hear about their daily life and Yan Xiaobao’s progress.
Many conscious members of Frozen General’s forces were shocked to see their leader Zhong Hui so excited and youthful. He was extremely powerful, capable of shattering mountains with a flick of his hand. He could gather thousands of fans with a word. If he wished, he could shake the entire world. He was one of the supreme beings in this realm, and he would never lower himself to converse with ordinary people.
Yet, here he was, chatting and joking with Sha Yun. Initially, she had been very tense and worried, but over time, she was moved by Zhong Hui’s voice and energy. Soon, laughter revealed everything that was happening. Her barriers were now completely broken, and a smiling Zhong Hui listened intently. He was a perfect listener, marveling at the right moments, showing concern where needed, and displaying indignation when appropriate. Seeing the attention she was getting, Sha Yun was not as alert as before.
When Wang Yue held her hand and dragged her along to their friends, Wang Julong’s face turned red. At first, she tried to get her hand back, but upon noticing Yan Xiaobao had no intention of letting her go, she finally accepted it, feeling a warmth in her heart. Though she was embarrassed and very worried about how their friends would react, she still felt joy inside.
As Yan Xiaobao approached their group of friends, Huli jumped forward, landing in Yan Xiaobao’s embrace. She sat in his arms, happily looking at the rest of the world. Even though she was held with just one arm, the little fox seemed content.
Wang Julong was too focused on being shy, but when she finally glanced at her friends, she stopped in her tracks. Her hand suddenly tightened on Yan Xiaobao’s hand, and her lips pressed together. She and her friends had noticed the Third Prince. She was shocked, and it was obvious she was not happy.
"Don’t worry," Yan Xiaobao murmured. "I’ll make sure nothing happens to you." This sentence slightly calmed Wang Julong, and her facial expression returned to normal. After hiding her facial expression, a facade covered her face, making it impossible for anyone to guess what she was thinking. Her expression made Yan Xiaobao sigh, as he understood she did this when under pressure.
Wang Julong at that moment felt a mix of emotions. Not only was she putting pressure on herself and suppressing her anger, but she also felt confused. She glanced at Yan Xiaobao, seeing him holding something resembling a black fox in his arms. The fox was clearly very satisfied and lay comfortably in his arms. Besides the fox, there were four Saints whom she had never seen at the gathering.
"Boss, congrats on finding your wife!" one of the Saints called out with a laugh, and the others began to cheer as well. This statement once again turned Wang Julong’s expressionless face bright red.
Being called Yan Xiaobao’s wife, she felt embarrassed, her eyes shyly lowered. On the other hand, Yan Xiaobao felt so happy that even looking at the Third Prince couldn’t ruin his mood.
"Now, we just need Ma Kong and Sha Yun," Yan Xiaobao said with a laugh. "Sha Yun should be with some half-blooded expert in the tomb. When I saw their group, they seemed relatively strong, so I shouldn’t worry about her."
"Ma Kong is with his family. They have very powerful experts, so he will be fine too. I think the best course of action now is to return to Muchuan City. When we return, we can begin to divide the spoils from our adventure."
Hearing this, the four Saints nodded. Although Yan Xiaobao personally gained some things they wouldn’t ask for, items like pills, armor, and weapons were equal among them.
