"I understand... I'll tell the King when I return."
You Tu struggled in his heart for a while, but finally chose to compromise. Not to mention the young man in front of him, whose surface strength was only that of a Semi-Saint but whose depth he couldn't fathom.
Just this Bahuang Slaughtering Tiger, which occupied the body of a Soul-devouring Beast, was beyond their nation's ability to handle. Thinking back to when that Soul-devouring Beast was starving and went crazy, no one dared to stop it. Anyone who did would die; they could only watch as it slaughtered and devoured.
Even though the Yunyou Kingdom is a First-grade kingdom, if a Soul-devouring Beast were really hungry to the extreme, they wouldn't last long.
"See you next time!" Zhang Menglong waved his hand with satisfaction, watching the Yunyou Kingdom's army retreat.
...
"Princess! It seems the Yunyou Kingdom has withdrawn their troops!" The warriors of Xuexu Country saw the distant crowd beginning to break camp, and the dense shadows moving away into the distance, causing an excited cheer to erupt.
"Princess! We have received news from the frontier outpost where the Princes are stationed, the invading army has withdrawn!"
"Just a few minutes..." Xuelan watched as the enemy army slowly disappeared from view, his eyes shimmering with surprise and gratification. Watching Zhang Menglong ride Little White back to the Imperial City slowly, he murmured to himself, "In this world, there truly is such an extraordinary and stunning man..."
After taking Zhang Menglong's elixir, the King of Xuelan Kingdom hadn't fully restored his strength, but had improved significantly, with his injuries showing clear signs of recovery, likely reaching peak form within three days.
Under usual circumstances, such injuries would take even a Saint ten years to recover through self-regulation, and even with the help of ordinary Alchemists, it would take at least a year or two. Zhang Menglong's elixir was regarded as a Miracle Elixir by them.
Once the King of Xuelan Kingdom's strength is restored, even if Zhang Menglong leaves, there will be no more worries. A Saint in full strength would make any other Saint think twice before taking action.
To prevent their enemies from returning and due to Xuelan's warm invitation, Zhang Menglong agreed to stay and be a guest in the Xuexu Dynasty for a few days. By nightfall, several Princes had also returned from their frontier outposts to the Imperial City, and the entire Xuexu Empire entered into a celebration of survival.
...
A grand celebratory banquet was held in honor of Zhang Menglong in the palace. After Xuelan recounted Zhang Menglong's heroic deeds to his father and siblings, they all felt immense admiration for him.
One man and one beast had completely reversed the fate of the Xuelan Dynasty, such achievements were enough to be enshrined in their history books.
"More, more!" Little White lay lazily on a scratching board, being served food by several female officials of the Xuelan Dynasty, enjoying the hero's treatment.
From the accounts given by the returned captors of the Yunyou Empire, Little White had transformed into a mythical beast treading on flames. Everywhere he went, enemies wailed, and anyone attempting to block him fell amidst white flames, seemingly like a Beast God.
"Mr. Zhang, I toast you!" The King of Xuexu Kingdom raised his cup. Though a Saint himself, he clearly understood that this man and beast pair could easily kill him and flatten the entire kingdom.
"No need to be so polite, Your Majesty."
"Mr. Zhang has saved my daughter twice, and this time, even saved our entire Xuelan Dynasty. I don't know how to properly thank you," said the King of Xuelan Kingdom, "I am willing to worship Mr. Zhang as the State Preceptor of our Xuelan Kingdom, sharing half of my kingdom with you!"
Half of a First-grade Kingdom – it's an offer so overwhelming it would shock anyone, encompassing limitless lands and wealth.
"That won't be necessary," Zhang Menglong replied, "I'm not particularly interested in those things."
"Hey you, King, right?" Little White lazily commented, "Don't be so smooth-talking. Do you think my big brother cares about this little wealth? With just a random live broadcast, he can earn astronomical sums, enough to buy your entire dynasty in just a few streams. Be more tangible!"
"Tangible things?" The King was momentarily taken aback.
"Look at your women, drooling while looking at my boss. Just have them marry him as concubines, my boss could fight at three, flirt at five, his genes are top-notch. If your daughter bears him a son, he'll definitely be a top-level Martial Artist in the future, securing your Xuexu Kingdom for all eternity..."
"Just eat your food!" Zhang Menglong glared at Little White.
"This... doesn't sound bad!" The King of Xuexu Kingdom didn't know Zhang Menglong's exact strength, but this Warcraft of the Second Realm could rival Third Realm Martial Artists in strength, and his deferent attitude towards Zhang Menglong clearly indicated Zhang Menglong's terrifying power.
If his daughter could have a child with him...
Ah, that would propel them far beyond the starting line.
Moreover, if this marital alliance succeeded, it would forge inseparable ties between Zhang Menglong and the Xuexu Kingdom. Should they face any trouble in the future, Zhang Menglong would surely lend a hand, right?
"Hey King, I already have a wife and kids. How could I match up to your noble daughter? Let's just drink, come on, more peanuts!"
Xuelan watched Zhang Menglong from beside him. When Little White mentioned those words, her breath had almost stopped; she would be willing to be Zhang Menglong's concubine, or even a mistress! But Zhang Menglong's flat refusal left her feeling regretful and helpless...
...
Another night of revelry stretched until midnight, where both the King and Little White got dead drunk on millennium-old wine, even more exaggerated than the last celebration after the Space-Time Storm. Zhang Menglong, however, remained a bit cautious, not out of distrust for the Xuexu Kingdom but from lessons learned from last time.
He gave a couple of kicks to the sprawled Little White on the floor, then grabbed him by one leg and dragged him into his room.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Zhang Menglong's door was being knocked on.
Zhang Menglong opened the door to see Xuelan holding a bowl of steaming hot liquid outside.
"Mr. Zhang, you drank a lot just now, have some hangover tea."
"Thank you, Princess!" Zhang Menglong didn't let his guard down with Xuelan, as she definitely wouldn't harm him.
But once he drank it, his expression changed immediately. Not only had his energy gone out of control, but even his muscles became weak and powerless.
"What's going on? Gou Dan? Gou Dan?"
[Dean, it's okay, she won't harm you!]
"No, this isn't about harming or not. Is she planning to eat me?"
Before Zhang Menglong could figure it out, he found himself already laid on the bed by Xuelan, with a fair body before his eyes.
"Whoa! Am I being taken? Gou Dan! Restore my body! I know you can do it!"
[Activating Youth Mode!]
"Damn you, Gou Dan!"
[Activating Hidden Settings for Director Zhang Kai, in any encounter of romantic nature, I cannot interfere, and must provide appropriate assistance. All orders prioritize the previous Director's commands!]
"Zhang Kai! I'll never forgive you!"
