He Guang said, “Yi Wu belongs to the beast king of Dark Moon City. I can’t deal with her as I please.”
This answer did not satisfy Huanhuan.
She frowned. “That’s the only request I have. If you can’t do it, Your Highness, then please leave.”
He Guang smiled bitterly. “Isn’t there any room for negotiation? I can use other things as payment, whether it’s crystals or slaves.”
“First, we don’t lack crystals. Second, the Rock Wolf Tribe will never need slaves.”!!
But He Guang said, “The slaves I can provide are not ordinary slaves. They’re trained war slaves.”
This was the first time Huanhuan had heard of the words ‘war slave’.
Usually, at this time, Little Brat would have jumped out to explain the meaning of the war slaves to her.
But now, Little Brat was gone.
Huanhuan was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses.
Bai Di was acutely aware that she was feeling down again.
He shook Huanhuan’s hand and whispered, “Are you okay?”
Huanhuan shook her head to show that she was fine.
She said to Shuang Yun, “You know more about this than I do. You talk to them.”
The negotiation was successfully handed over to Shuang Yun. Huanhuan walked out of the divine embassy, followed by Bai Di.
Seeing her distracted, Bai Di couldn’t help but ask again, “What are you thinking?”
Huanhuan was silent for a long time before she said softly,
“I’m thinking of a friend.”
“What friend?”
“A very good friend who has taught me a lot.”
Bai Di thought for a moment. “Did your friend teach you the Dance of the Gods too?”
Huanhuan nodded. “Yes.”
Bai Di remembered what Xue Ling had said and quickly understood why she was in a bad mood. “Did you fight with that friend of yours?” he asked.
“We do have some conflicts.”
“Is it because of what Xue Ling said?”
“It has nothing to do with Xue Ling.” Huanhuan sighed. “I didn’t handle it well and angered my friend, so they went away.”
“Went away? Where did your friend go?”
Huanhuan said gloomily, “I don’t know. I can’t find them now, and I don’t know if they’ll ever come back.”
Bai Di stroked her head and comforted her gently. “No matter what kind of friend it is, you’ll be separated one day regardless. You should learn to adapt.”
Huanhuan felt a lump in her throat.
She moved closer to Bai Di and buried her face in his chest. “I thought they wouldn’t leave. I thought we could be together forever.”
Bai Di hugged her and said gently, “You still have us. We’ll be with you forever.”
Huanhuan clung to him and answered softly.
“Mmhm.”
The negotiations between the two sides came to a standstill.
He Guang was willing to pay handsomely for Huanhuan to help save his soldiers, but he was unwilling to hand Yi Wu over to Huanhuan.
It was not because he could not bear to part with Yi Wu but because Yi Wu’s backer was the beast king of Dark Moon City. He Guang did not want to become enemies with Dark Moon City because of a female.
However, Shuang Yun was determined to get Yi Wu from He Guang. Otherwise, there was no room for discussion.
Neither of them was willing to back down.
Xue Ling said lazily, “Your Highness, you should go back and think about it before coming to talk to us.”
He Guang wanted to say something, but Xuan Wei stopped him.
Xuan Wei said, “I want to talk to His Highness alone.”
“Feel free.”
Xue Ling and Shuang Yun walked out of the divine embassy.
Huanhuan saw them coming out and immediately asked, “How did the discussion go?”
Shuang Yun said, “It’s still the same. He Guang isn’t willing to hand over Yi Wu.”
“What about He Guang’s people?”
“He’s still talking to Xuan Wei in the embassy.”
In the divine embassy, Xuan Wei said in a low voice, “Your Highness, you have to hand Yi Wu over. That way, you can save the lives of those injured soldiers.”
He Guang frowned. “But she belongs to the beast king of Dark Moon City. If anything happens to her on my territory, the beast king will definitely blame me.”
“So what? Your Highness is the prince of the City of 10,000 Beasts. You’re a candidate for the crown prince. The entire world might belong to you in the future. Why would you be afraid of Dark Moon City?”
He Guang was stunned.
Xuan Wei did not seem to think that his words were shocking. He was still as calm as water.
“If you want to ascend to the throne, you have to know how to give and take. On the battlefield of power, there will be no eternal enemies, only eternal benefits. Even if you offend the beast king of Dark Moon City because of Yi Wu, if Your Highness can hold your ground, Dark Moon City can only bow down to you.”
Xuan Wei’s tone was very calm, but his words carried a lot of weight.
After He Guang heard this, he felt enlightened.
He was a noble member of the royal family and one of the candidates for the position of the crown prince. With his status, why would he need to think about being the beast king of a middle city?!
Seeing that he had thought it through, Xuan Wei walked out and called Shuang Yun in again.
He Guang had changed his mind. He said, “I can give you Yi Wu, but you have to keep this a secret. You can’t reveal it.”
When the beast king of Dark Moon City asked about Yi Wu later, He Guang planned to say that Yi Wu was accidentally killed by the demons on the battlefield.
In any case, swords had no eyes on the battlefield. Everyone could barely take care of themselves. Who could care about a female?
She could only blame her luck for being killed by the demons.
Even though the beast king of Dark Moon City would be unhappy about it, he would not be able to find a reason to refute He Guang.
Shuang Yun agreed readily. “Sure, I promise you!”
Once He Guang gave in, the negotiations immediately became extremely smooth and harmonious.
In the end, both sides got satisfactory results.
Accompanied by Bai Di and Xue Ling, Huanhuan followed He Guang and the others to the Black Water River. Some beasts went along with them to help out, including Dong Ya and Mu Xiang.
Dong Ya’s medical skills had improved. Usually, when someone in the Rock Wolf Tribe got a small injury or illness and did not want to trouble Huanhuan, they would look for him for treatment.
Hence, Huanhuan specially brought him along to help this time.
As for Mu Xiang, she insisted on following them. No one could stop her.
Huanhuan had no choice but to agree.
In order to prevent Mu Xiang from acting rashly, Jiu Yuan followed her. He followed Mu Xiang closely and kept an eye on her.
After arriving at the camp, Huanhuan did not have time to rest before she threw herself into saving the injured.
During this period, Mu Xiang wanted to slip away to look for Yi Wu several times. However, Jiu Yuan would catch her in the act and forcefully stop her.
Mu Xiang and Jiu Yuan quarreled several times over this.
In order to save the soldiers, all kinds of herbs were used up. Fortunately, they had an agreement in advance that these used herbs would be paid for by He Guang.
Therefore, the Rock Wolf Tribe did not have to worry about being at a disadvantage.
