Chapter 264 Lion King
Chapter 264 Lion King
Under the gaze of everyone, Prince Tiger walked up to Lucy with his head held high, a smug smile on his face and a tone full of credit: "Hey, you have to thank me. If I hadn't tried my best to invite my father here, with Ryan's terrifying legendary combat power, you and your friends would have suffered a lot today." As he spoke, he exaggeratedly shook his cloak, as if showing his bravery to everyone.
At this time, a lion guard walked quickly to Tiger's side and whispered a few words in his ear. Tiger's originally smug expression froze instantly, his eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief: "What did you say? She actually took Ryan's two attacks?" His voice unconsciously rose, attracting the attention of the people around him.
He looked Lucy up and down as if he met her for the first time, his eyes full of shock and confusion: "How is this possible? Ryan's strength is one of the best in the lion clan. How is it possible for a little fox girl like you to..." Tiger's words stopped abruptly. He really couldn't believe that this seemingly weak girl in front of him had such amazing strength.
Lucy frowned, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but out of politeness, she forced a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your help, but we are not completely powerless." Her voice was crisp but stubborn, and she obviously did not buy into Tiger's slightly arrogant request for credit.
Chen Xian crossed his arms across his chest, his lips slightly raised, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "Yes, if His Royal Highness the Prince had not arrived in time, we really want to see how powerful this legendary full-strength attack is." His words seemed polite, but in fact they were sharp, causing a commotion among the surrounding lion guards, and they all cast dissatisfied glances at him.
Mad Wolf had a look of disdain on his face and snorted coldly: "Hmph, Ryan thinks he can easily defeat us? Lucy's strength is far more than that." His voice was low and powerful, which invisibly gave Lucy some confidence.
Old Fox shook his head and stepped forward to smooth things over: "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, why don't we all sit down and have a good talk. We have come from afar and have many difficulties. We have no intention of offending the lion clan." His eyes were sincere, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes as he looked at the lion king.
The lion king stood quietly by the side, remaining silent. His eyes were deep and majestic, sweeping over everyone one by one, as if he was weighing something. After a long time, he finally spoke: "Breaking into the forbidden land of my lion clan is an unforgivable crime. But since there is something else going on, and for Tiger's sake, I will give you a chance to explain. However, if what you said is untrue, or if you have ill intentions, don't blame my lion clan for being rude." The lion king's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight, making everyone present feel an invisible pressure.
Old Fox took a deep breath, took a step forward, bowed slightly to the Lion King, and looked solemn and steady. He spoke slowly, his voice was a little tired, but firm: "Your Majesty, this is a long story. We were originally looking for the secret of the Qingqiu royal jade pendant, but we encountered a conspiracy by the trolls on the way. The leader was actually a legendary strong man who could summon the ancient beast, the three-headed demon dragon."
Recalling the thrilling battle, a trace of solemnity flashed in Old Fox's eyes: "The three-headed demon dragon was extremely ferocious, spewing poisonous mist all over its body, and every attack shook the earth. We fought it desperately and finally found an opportunity to use the space vortex to temporarily get rid of it. But I didn't expect to be involved in it and accidentally came to your place."
As the Lion King listened to Old Fox's story, a surge of anger welled up on his originally majestic face. He clenched his fists and exuded a strong sense of oppression: "How dare the trolls be so presumptuous! Not only did they break into my lion's territory, but they also used legendary strong men and ancient ferocious beasts. They simply don't take my lion clan seriously!" The lion guards were also outraged, and low roars spread among the crowd.
However, the lion king was a veteran of many battles, so he soon calmed down. He frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he thought that the trolls' actions were most likely for the secret key of the beast god. Thinking of this, he looked at Old Fox deeply, and his eyes seemed to see through everything. Then, he changed the subject: "In this case, let's not talk about the past for now. The fox wine that Tiger brought back before was praised by everyone in my tribe after tasting it. I am discussing cooperation with you, what do you think?"
Old Fox was slightly startled, obviously not expecting the Lion King to suddenly mention this matter, but he quickly regained his composure with a smile on his face: "It is of course great that His Majesty the Lion King has this wish. Fox Wine is a fine wine inherited by our tribe. If we can cooperate with the Lion Tribe, it will surely flourish."
Chen Xian, Lucy and the others looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes. They originally thought they would face a difficult explanation and crisis, but unexpectedly, there was a turn of events and an opportunity for cooperation. But they also knew in their hearts that there might be many variables hidden behind this cooperation.
Tiger listened on the side with a smug smile on his face, as if he was proud of bringing back the Fox Wine. Ryan, on the other hand, still had a gloomy expression and looked at Chen Xian with unfriendly eyes.
Chen Xian just glanced at Ryan and asked about Lucy's situation with concern.
In this tense and delicate atmosphere, a discussion on cooperation with Fox Wine quietly began.
