Chapter 215: Demon Woman Was Shocked
In the courtyard, Lian Caiyi's words caused Lu Heng to directly pause for a moment.
Um… he had thought that Lian Caiyi came to ask him to save someone.
But the result is the opposite?
The woman before her sincerely wanted to ask Lu Heng to stop, not wanting him to get into a real conflict with the infamous Mermaid Kingdom of the South Sea.
Lian Caiyi knew that the Wolf God was a powerful figure in ancient times.
However, she was aware that the Mermaid Kingdom was an ancient inheritance with various mysterious and terrifying aspects, far from an ordinary small country.
Not to mention the ancient demon Bi Fang that once perished within the Mermaid Kingdom, even the notorious and fearsome Candle Dragon never dared to cause chaos in the South Sea and hesitated to venture near the extreme depths of the Mermaid Kingdom.
If the Wolf God were to truly oppose the Mermaid Kingdom, even if victorious, they would most likely pay a great price.
Moreover, according to the various secret information collected from Luan Xin Ge, the Mermaid Kingdom is located in the South Sea and possesses various mystical formations, weapons, and ancient powers. If all of these were to be used, the Wolf God would likely not be able to escape.
She and Huo Feng had already received great favor and kindness from the Wolf God before.
How could she possibly let the Wolf God risk his life for Huo Feng again!
Huo Feng in the Extreme Hell Prison is unaware of the situation in the Mermaid Kingdom, which makes her hope for help from the Wolf God. If she knew how terrible the Mermaid Kingdom was, she would certainly persuade the Wolf God to stop.
Lian Caiyi's mood is bitter, but her heart is unwavering in wanting to persuade the Wolf God to stop.
Seeing the woman's determined appearance before him, Lu Heng knew that she was not playing hard to get, but sincerely wanted Lu Heng to stop.
But…
In the courtyard, Lu Heng remained silent for a moment, then finally shook his head helplessly and said:
"That I cannot promise."
Lu Heng said, "I understand Miss Caiyi's intentions, but how can I give up when there is still a glimmer of hope for Brother Huo Feng's survival?"
"If I were to give up now, Lu Heng would be plagued with everlasting regret. Nonetheless, attempting what needs to be done is always essential."
"Even if I am limited in power and cannot rescue Brother Huo, at the very least, I tried my best today and won't have any regrets in the future."
Lu Heng's words indicated that he was already resolved to save Huo Feng.
Lian Caiyi was both moved and frightened as she heard his words, "But the Mermaid Kingdom…"
Lu Heng interrupted her with a smile and said, "Rest assured, although the Mermaid Kingdom is formidable, no one can stop me, Lu Heng, if I am determined to go."
Holding the Requiem Seal, Lu Heng had the confidence to proceed.
As long as he wished to depart, no one in this world could keep him back.
Moreover, with the Requiem Seal and the Heavenly Thunder Sword, the result of the fight is still unknown if planned properly.
Lu Heng is very confident in the destructive power of the Heavenly Thunder Sword.
He smiled and said, "Moreover, Miss Caiyi is now pregnant with Brother Huo's blood. If her child loses his father just after birth, how sad it would be… For the sake of the child in Caiyi's womb, I, Lu Heng, must take a chance and can't just sit and watch Brother Huo being executed by the Mermaid."
Lu Heng's words caused Lian Caiyi's face to blush slightly.
Previously, she could still conceal the fetus in her abdomen with her cultivation, but now, severely injured and on the brink of death, she can no longer hide it. The little life in her womb can be easily detected by any cultivator with a single glance.
Confronted with the Wolf God's tease, she was slightly embarrassed.
After all, it was the Wolf God who witnessed her saying to Huo Feng, "I'll get rid of what you left in my body." Now that she's pregnant, isn't she exposing the fact that she didn't keep her word?
Seeing Lian Caiyi being taken aback by the word "fetus" so embarrassed that she couldn't even speak, Lu Heng was about to change the subject when suddenly the voices of the Wu family brothers were heard outside the door.
"Reporting to the Wolf God, Master Yu Huaifeng is here."
The Wu family brothers' loud announcement surprised Lu Heng - why is this Master Yu here again?
Didn't he just left a while ago?
Curiously, Lu Heng said, "Please let him in."
Then, the gate of the small courtyard was opened again, and Chief Minister Yu Huaifeng appeared in Lu Heng's sight with a narrow gift box.
"I have met the Wolf God… Oh? Miss Lian Caiyi is also here? Haha… That just saved me a trip."
Yu Huaifeng walked in with a kind smile that made Lian Caiyi slightly surprised.
This… Chief Minister is so respectful to the Wolf God?
This is quite different from the rumors circulating in the city.
Wasn't it said that the Wolf God and the Mermaid Kingdom are at loggerheads with each other, mutually hostile?
How come Chief Minister Master Yu has such an amicable attitude…
Lian Caiyi was shocked in her heart, but didn't show it on the surface, instead weakly smiling and saying, "Please forgive Caiyi for not being able to get up, Master Yu…"
Yu Huaifeng quickly waved his hand and said, "You are being too polite, you are a patient now, you should rest properly, no need for formalities."
After speaking, Yu Huaifeng turned to the Wolf God.
He knew that the Wolf God was straightforward and disliked formalities, so he smiled and went straight to the point.
"I, Yu Huaifeng, have come here on behalf of our lord to present the Deep Ice White Lotus from our lord's collection as a token of gratitude for the guidance given by the Wolf God."
Saying so, Yu Huaifeng opened the gift box and showed everyone the Deep Ice White Lotus inside.
Lu Heng was somewhat surprised, but still smiled and accepted the gift.
"Thank you for this generous gift from your lord, for I am in need of this treasure at present."
After accepting the gift, Lu Heng looked towards Yu Huaifeng, waiting for what was to come next.
The Chief Minister's swift return undoubtedly suggests that there must be other messages to convey, rather than just presenting a single Deep Ice White Lotus.
Yu Huaifeng didn't keep Lu Heng waiting for long, but spoke with a smile.
"Before coming here, the lord asked me to convey a message to the Wolf God that the proposal is feasible. However, the Mermaid Kingdom is currently under intense scrutiny and cannot release the captives directly without accounting for the victims' families."
"Thus, the lord has devised a new plan of action and hopes the Wolf God is aware of it…"
Afterwards, Yu Huaifeng provided a detailed description of the lord's plan to the Wolf God and Lian Caiyi in the courtyard.
Lu Heng was impressed with the lord of the Mermaid Kingdom's decisive actions. Upon hearing Ye Huaifeng's report, the lord quickly formulated a plan to deal with the issue.
While Lian Caiyi stood by listening to Yu Huaifeng's account, she couldn't help but become increasingly shocked as she listened.
Finally, her eyes grew so wide with disbelief that she stared in amazement at the Wolf God.
She found it almost impossible to trust her own eyes and ears.
The Mermaid Kingdom, which was always known for their overbearing and face-saving behavior, was now willing to pay the price of a direct attack against the ancient demon because of face-saving purposes.
How can it be that they would willingly step back in deference to the Wolf God?
Are these still the same Mermaids who would rather die than lose face?
Is the Wolf God's face really so great that even the Mermaid Kingdom is willing to compromise and make concessions? This…
If this matter is spoken out, I'm afraid no one in the world will believe it!
Moreover, this Master Yu even said thank you for the guidance of the Wolf God… Did the Wolf God guide them in any way, that this group of Mermaids would offer such precious treasures as the Deep Ice White Lotus and make concessions to express their gratitude?
Lu Heng didn't mention the reason for the Star Sea inheritance, and Lian Caiyi, who didn't know the karma, was directly stunned.
In a state of unbelievable shock.
To be able to give guidance to this group of face-saving Mermaids and still make them willing to compromise and make concessions… how great a gesture of goodwill that must be!
The guidance of the Wolf God is definitely not an ordinary matter.
Unfortunately, with such a significant matter, it is unlikely that outsiders will ever know.
