Chapter 58: Hehehe

The moment the two of them noticed each other, a sense of disdain filled their hearts. Shang Xia could only think about how unlucky he was.

Of course, the others didnt notice their exchange at all. They had no idea what the two kids were thinking about.

The old lady standing on the other side laughed, Why do we have to behave so secretively All of us are old friends! Theres no need for such pettiness To the one standing outside, why dont you come in for a chat? Theres no need to behave so cautiously. I have complete control over the territory I own. If word gets out that you have to stand guard outside, people might think that Im mistreating my guests.

There wasnt the slightest trace of movement that came from the entrance and the old woman wasnt angered in the slightest. Instead, a look of surprise appeared on her face. Oh? What a mysterious concealment art. Its no wonder it feels so familiar.

Ji Wenlong interrupted her as a trace of irritation flashed through his eyes. Enough. Theres no need for all this nonsense. Lets get straight to the point. If your Wind Swallow Race chooses not to take part in the battle, we can reach an agreement on something.

The old woman revealed a grin but a trace of mockery could be seen in her eyes. Old bastard, all you can do is fight. Your brain cant handle this. Who am I supposed to be talking to today?

Ji Wenlong snorted in contempt. However, he remained silent after. It was true that he was absolute trash at negotiating. Shang Ke and Shang Bing emerged from behind him.

Despite that, the old woman didnt look at them. Her gaze fell onto Shang Xia who was a distance away.

Oh my, whose descendant is this? He looks so likable Wait a minute. He looks pretty familiar too. As she spoke, she gestured for him to come closer. She looked like a kind old grandmother beckoning for her grandson to approach.

As Shang Xia walked forward slowly, he thought about the way she spoke to Ji Wenlong. There was no doubt she was also an expert at the Fourth Order of the Primary Realm. Those creatures they know as old monsters who devoured their opponents without spitting out so much as bones should be used to describe her.

Coughing lightly, Shang Ke interrupted, Elder, you shouldnt scare the kids. All of us are pressed for time. Lets talk about something more practical, shall we? The longer we stay here, the more likely it is for us to catch someones attention. I dont think you want to be caught talking to us, no?

The old lady finally retrieved her gaze and she stared at Shang Ke. I know you. Youre the next in line of the Shang Clan!

Ahem Im the fifth in line. Shang Bo is my third brother Shang Ke explained.

The old woman didnt care too much about what he said. The smile on her face didnt fade as she continued, Is that the kid who caught the Mutated Rain Swallow?

Youve seen him. Lets talk about what we agreed on

Hehehehehe. She interrupted him again. Well, I changed my mind!

Ji Wenlong, who had been standing passively at the side perked up all of a sudden. As he got ready to fight the old swallow, an uneasy silence descended in the valley.

Shang Kes expression changed slightly. Youre the ancestor of the Wind Swallow Race. Are you going to go back on your words?

She chuckled in response, Theres no need to rush things. Why dont you listen to my suggestion?

She glanced at Ji Wenlong at the side before ignoring him completely.

Shang Bing stepped up and attempted to diffuse the situation. Please.

Raising an eyebrow in surprise, she didnt seem to recognize him. However, she eventually spoke. My promise remains. If you get the kid to hand over the method to tame a Mutated Rain Swallow, Ill find another reason to withdraw an expert at the Martial Intent Realm. Ill also personally promise not to touch anyone on the Tongyou Peak who has a cultivation base lower than the Fourth Order Primary Realm. What do you think?

Shang Bing sank into contemplation.

In fact, her suggestion was extremely tempting. If they took into account the battle that was about to break out, every single Martial Intent Realm cultivator made a difference.

As for her promise, it was enough to stop her from going for those who were weaker than her.

Shang Ke chuckled in response, Looks like youre facing a lot of pressure too!

The old woman glanced at him and snorted, Het, thats not an attitude you should be coming in with. Dont forget, I havent even seen the live Mutated Rain Swallow. Im already showing my trust in you guys by agreeing to this.

Even though she seemed to be compromising, the threat behind her words couldnt be more clear.

If not for Ji Wenlongs presence, Shang Ke and Shang Bing would have been crushed by the pressure she was emitting.

A helpless smile formed on Shang Kes face. Were not bringing the bird out because were afraid youll change your mind again.

What? Her expression changed all of a sudden. You brought it with you? Is that why that brat outside isnt coming in? Is he afraid that Ill snatch it from you?

You wont dare to do it. Ji Wenlong snorted at the side. Updted chapters n nvelbin(.)com

His words were like a fart that the old lady ignored. Instead, an interested expression formed on her face. Alright, bring it out. I promise not to change my promise. Hehehe, I might even add some favorable conditions for you guys if I see it.

Shang Ke looked at Shang Bing and they suppressed the smile that was threatening to break out on their faces. They werent surprised by her reaction at all. Turning around, Shang Ke signaled to Shang Xia.

At that moment, Shang Xia was listening to their conversation casually. He didnt expect to be called on so soon.

Since they were afraid that the members of the Wind Swallow Race would do something stupid, they advised him not to approach.

When he thought about how Yan Nier was going to be used as a bargaining chip with those from the Wind Swallow Race, a sense of distaste filled Shang Xias mind.

It was true that the deal would greatly reduce the casualties of the Tongyou Peak, and Yan Nier wouldnt be in much danger. However, he hated the feeling that his fate was controlled by others!

Even if Yan Nier was a mere bird, she was Shang Xias bird!

Seeing Shang Kes signal, Shang Xia could only call for Yan Nier despite his reluctance.

It didnt take long before a loud cry was heard and a tiny figure shot towards him.

The tiny black figure was headed straight to Shang Xia, but when she felt the terrifying aura coming from inside the valley, she started to chirp noisily in mid air. Yan Nier circled the skies trying to make sense of the situation.

The look on the old womans face had long since changed. Her eyes were wide as she stared at the tiny bird circling the air. Her grip on her staff tightened and her fingers were trembling slightly.

Even with her countless years of cultivation, her thoughts were in a mess.

If not for Ji Wenlong ready to pounce, she might have chosen to risk it all.

Tamed The brat actually managed to tame a Mutated Rain Swallow!

What did that represent?

With the thinning of the Wind Swallow Races bloodline, a live Mutated Rain Swallow was the only hope for them to purify their bloodline!

Now, their only hope lay in the hands of the little kid standing before them!

It was no wonder Shang Ke was afraid she would change her mind again.

There was a point where she actually thought of sacrificing herself to capture the Mutated Rain Swallow!

No She also wanted the kid who could tame them!

The last part of her rationality brought her back to reality. Of course, there was also Ji Wenlong who was standing at the side.

After Shang Xia reassured it again and again, Yan Nier finally returned to his shoulder.

When that happened, the old woman of the Wind Swallow Race wasnt the only one who was surprised. Ji Wenlong and the others were equally as shocked.

They might have heard that Shang Xia tamed the Mutated Rain Swallow, but they couldnt believe their eyes.

Sucking in a cold breath, the kind look on the old womans face was nowhere to be seen. She forced a smile and said, Youre right. I changed my mind.

Shang Ke nodded. He had expected as much. Hurry up and add your conditions. However, Ill remind you that killing a golden goose wont provide you with much returns.

The old woman stared at Shang Ke before revealing a wide smile. She addressed Shang Xia out of the blue. Little brother, do you have any arranged engagements?

Seeing the stunned expression on Shang Xias face, she continued while dragging Yan Ming over. This is my baby granddaughter. What do you think about taking her as your wife?

Before Shang Xia could say anything, she continued, Look at her. Shes a great beauty in my Wind Swallow Race! She has a great figure and people will kill for her looks! Look! She has a tiny waist and a beautiful butt She looks good in clothes or without!

Grandma

The old woman ignored the cries of her granddaughter. As long as you marry her, Ill give you anything in my power! All I ask for is for the two of you to quickly give birth to some grandkids for me

Shang Xia waved his hand in haste and declined instantly. Many thanks for seniors kind grace. Im afraid that my lifespan will shorten if I accept your offer Thanks, but no thanks!

The smile on the old ladys face didnt fade, but her tone became a lot more serious. Kid, think about it carefully. As long as you marry my granddaughter, you will receive my protection!

Ahem My ancestor Shang Bo will protect me anyway Theres no need to trouble senior! Shang Xia rejected the offer again.
