234 Turning Hostility into Friendship
Probably because the atmosphere was too silent, Qian Yuan said, “But this is probably just senior Long Zhan’s guess. It was already seriously injured before the battle ended. In the end, it was unknown who won and who lost.”
Ye Xuan couldn’t help but sigh. “I hope so.”
He hoped that things had not reached the worst point yet. Otherwise, not only he, but everyone else would have to face a terrifying and unimaginably powerful enemy.
“But what does the last sentence mean? Be careful of the sky?”
Ye Xuan looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly, and there were no clouds in the sky. It was so quiet and beautiful like a landscape painting. Occasionally, birds would fly past, and the painting instantly became vivid.
Qian Yuan shook his head, indicating that it didn’t know either. “Senior Long Zhan left behind these two sentences and completely disappeared. I can’t sense his existence anymore.”
The first sentence made everyone’s heart heavy, and the second sentence was without a beginning or an end. Ye Xuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and he didn’t know what kind of chit-chat Long Zhan was playing.
Qian Yuan guessed, “Maybe the sky is referring to that terrifying creature? It seems to be coming from the other side of the sky.”
Ye Xuan didn’t think so. After all, the previous sentence had already reminded them, so there was no need to repeat the same words. Perhaps Long Zhan had a deeper meaning, but only it knew that.
Shen Changlin was more open-minded. “Forget it, don’t think too much. Things will work out when they come to it. Things haven’t happened yet, so there’s still a chance.”
Ye Xuan also agreed with him. Instead of being afraid of future enemies, it was better to think of ways to improve their strength. At least on the day of the disaster, they would be able to pick up weapons to protect themselves instead of being afraid and waiting to be slaughtered.
Qian Yuan also nodded. “The reason why I can successfully transform into a dragon was all thanks to Brother Ye’s help. I hope Brother Ye can stay and drink with me.”
The great demons below had already gone to prepare. After all, it was a happy occasion for Qian Yuan to break through its bottleneck, improve its cultivation, and purify its bloodline. Ye Xuan and Shen Changlin looked at each other. Seeing Qian Yuan’s enthusiasm, they couldn’t refuse.
The rough palace was filled with high-class people and looked very lively. However, fierce demonic beasts of all shapes and sizes were sitting in the seats of honor, while two humans were sitting in the main centers.
One had to know that they and humans were like fire and water, and had even reached the point where they would not rest until one of them died.
Now, two humans were sitting here casually, and Qian Yuan seemed to be very respectful to them.
The jaws of many great demons who were unaware of the situation almost dropped when they saw this scene.
“What’s going on? There are actually two humans sitting beside the lord.”
One of the well-informed demonic beasts explained, “Don’t you know that Lord Flood Dragon can advance successfully this time all because of these two humans?”
“Haven’t you noticed? The lord’s bloodline has become even purer.”
Many demonic beasts below the stage were whispering to each other, and Qian Yuan’s words later on prooved their words.
“It’s all because of the two of them that I have such a great opportunity this time. From now on, Ye Xuan and Shen Changlin will be our distinguished guests. Seeing them is like seeing me. You can’t be rude to them.”
One had to know that Qian Yuan also hated humans in the past. To be able to make it say such words, it was enough to show how much Ye Xuan had done for it.
Because of Qian Yuan, those demonic beasts all sent out signals of goodwill to the two of them.
“I hope the two of you can forgive me if I’ve offended you before.”
“We thought you were the same as those cunning humans, but it seems that we were mistaken.”
“You’re the lord’s benefactors, and you’re the lord’s friends. In the future, you’ll be our friends as well.”
All the credit went to Ye Xuan, and Shen Changlin only benefited from him. Watching the demonic beasts raise their glasses was a novel experience he had never had in his life.
This was the first time he had drunk and chatted with so many powerful demonic beasts.
There weren’t many twists and turns between demonic beasts, and their temperaments were extremely straightforward. Before, they were hostile because they were on different sides. Now that Ye Xuan had done a favor for Qian Yuan, it meant that he had done a favor for them.
Some of the more forthright demonic beasts raised their glasses and drank with Ye Xuan and Shen Changlin.
Shen Changlin couldn’t refuse. He drank cup after cup and soon felt light. “Elder… Elder Ye, why do I feel a little dizzy?”
Shen Changlin’s alcohol tolerance was average. He wouldn’t fall over after a few cups. However, this wine was brewed by the wine monkey. The taste of the wine was full and the aroma was rich. This kind of wine was the favorite of demonic beasts.
The smell of alcohol dissipated quickly and it had strong aftereffects. Thus, it was not suitable for human consumption. Who would have thought that Shen Changlin would drink so many cups in one go?
Ye Xuan couldn’t bear to watch Shen Changlin pulled the human-shaped tiger-headed demonic beast next to him, began to call it brother and play drinking and finger-guessing games with it.
He wondered what he would think after he woke up.
Qian Yuan also raised his glass to Ye Xuan. “If it wasn’t for you, I’m afraid I would still be stuck at a bottleneck and unable to break through. I’ll remember this great kindness in my heart. If you need my help in the future, just let me know.”
Ye Xuan didn’t forget his ultimate purpose here.
The purpose of giving the Dragon Pearl to Qian Yuan– First was to sell him a favor, second was to fulfill Long Zhan’s wish, and most importantly, to resolve the grudges between the demonic beasts and Changping.
“I do have something to do.”
“Just say it,” Qian Yuan said heroically.
“I wonder if we can bury the hatchet regarding Changping.”
