Chapter 102: Dream On!

When they slowly followed Bai Di and the others to the top of the mountain, they found Shuang Yun and Shen Yan locked in battle.

The places where the Silvery Frost White Wolf touched would freeze. The albatross flapped its wings and dodged, but it could not find a suitable opportunity to attack.

The other beasts of the feather tribe stood nearby and watched. They had no intention of interfering.

Huanhuan was worried that Shuang Yun would be injured. She was about to rush forward to stop him when Xue Ling stopped her.

“No one can interfere in a duel between male beasts. I advise you not to act rashly.”

Huanhuan was unwilling to give in, so Bai Di took her hand and advised gently, “It’s good to let them fight. The conflict will only get worse if they keep everything bottled up. It’ll be better for both sides if they vent it.”

“But I’m worried that Shuang Yun will be injured…”

“You have to believe him. The Silvery Frost White Wolf isn’t weak. He’ll be fine.”

Huanhuan had always been very convinced by Bai Di’s words.

She dismissed the thought of stopping him and stared intently at the Silvery Frost White Wolf, silently praying that he would win.

Xue Ling glanced at the two of them, his mood worsening.

When Huanhuan made it clear that she wanted to cut ties with him, he flew back to the top of the mountain in a fit of anger. He had not looked for Huanhuan again.

It had been four days since they last saw each other.

Although Xue Ling did not say it, he actually missed the little female. However, he could not bring himself to ask for peace.

He deliberately let Jiu Yuan go down the mountain to inform the others just now so that Huanhuan would come up.

She did come, but she completely ignored his presence.

He took the initiative to talk to her, but she ignored him. Bai Di said something and she obeyed.

Xue Ling’s thin lips curled into a mocking smile.

The more she acted like this, the more he didn’t want to let go of her!

Shuang Yun finally tied with Shen Yan.

Both sides were slightly injured, and their auras were a little chaotic. However, the hostility in their eyes dissipated a lot. They even felt a little like heroes.

Shuang Yun returned to human form and slowly bandaged his wound.

Shen Yan was already dressed. His white robe made him look even taller and more heroic.

He glanced at the wolves that had trespassed into his territory. His gaze paused on the little female beside Shuang Yun. Was this the little female Xue Ling had taken a fancy to?

She was quite cute, but she was a little small. If she wasn’t pregnant, Shen Yan would have suspected that she was underage.

Shen Yan looked at Xue Ling and deliberately smiled mischievously. “I didn’t expect you to like such a small female. Your taste is very unique!”

Xue Ling smiled ambiguously. “It’s good for them to be younger. I can dote on her.”

Shen Yan was already used to his elder’s devilish style. He was not disgusted by his words at all. Instead, he gossiped excitedly, “Why do I feel that she doesn’t have any feelings for you? She hasn’t even looked at you since she came. Don’t tell me you’ve been dumped?!”

Xue Ling glanced at him, his smile cold.

A strange and ferocious aura of danger assaulted him. Even Shen Yan could not withstand it.

He heard Xue Ling squeeze out some words.

“Dumped? Dream on!”

Shen Yan was speechless.

He suddenly felt sorry for the little female who had been targeted by Xue Ling!

After venting their anger, Shen Yan and Shuang Yun could finally put aside their grudges and sit down to have a good talk.

Since Huanhuan and Bai Di were already here, they stayed with Shuang Yun.

Xue Ling did not leave either.

Shuang Yun told Shen Yan about the mineral vein.

Shen Yan acutely grasped the key point. “How do you know there’s a mine at the bottom of the mountain?”

Shuang Yun had long thought of an excuse. “Actually, the old witch doctor told me about this before, but at that time, I had yet to awaken my soul beast. I wasn’t strong enough to protect the mineral vein, so I didn’t mine it. Later, many things happened one after another. It was only today we could settle the matter of the mineral vein.”

Shen Yan was not easy to deal with.

He acutely sensed that Shuang Yun was not telling the truth, but he did not pursue the matter.

On the other hand, Xue Ling looked at Huanhuan meaningfully.

Huanhuan immediately felt as if she was being stared at by a ferocious beast. A sense of danger arose, scaring her so much that she quickly looked up to find the source of that gaze.

However, Xue Ling had already retracted his gaze and was holding his chin as he looked at the scenery outside the window.

Bai Di noticed something strange about her. He took her hand and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

The scary gaze had disappeared. She slowly relaxed and shook her head. “Nothing.”

Shen Yan said seriously, “If you want to dig and mine, what if the mountain collapses?”

Shuang Yun said, “We’ll try to be careful when we mine. If we really can’t manage it, we’ll have to move.”

Shen Yan frowned. “No, we finally found a suitable place to live. Our houses have already been built. If we suddenly move, I won’t be able to explain it to my people!”

“We plan to build more habitable houses from the bottom up after we empty the mine. When the time comes, I can give a portion of the houses to your people.”

Shen Yan was more interested in this suggestion.

“It’s not easy to build houses. Can you guarantee that the houses won’t collapse?”

Shuang Yun roughly explained the plan they had discussed last night.

Shen Yan was gradually convinced.

“If it’s as you say, we can consider agreeing to your request—”

However, before he could finish, Xue Ling suddenly interrupted him.

“I disagree.”

Everyone immediately looked at him.

Shen Yan respected his opinion. Hearing Xue Ling’s words, Shen Yan immediately asked, “Do you think there’s something wrong?”

Xue Ling said leisurely, “They’re talking nonsense. No one knows if it’ll come true in the end. If it doesn’t, won’t we suffer a huge loss for nothing?”

He had a point. Shen Yan hesitated again.

Shuang Yun glared at Xue Ling unhappily. “What do I get by lying to you?!”

“You’ll have to ask yourself that. How could I know?!”

“You’re just looking for trouble!”

Faced with Shuang Yun’s anger, Xue Ling only smiled casually. “I’m just telling you the worst case scenario. I just hope our tribe leader can reconsider before making a decision. I’m doing this for the sake of the feather tribe.”

If Shen Yan wasn’t familiar with this guy’s personality, he would have believed his nonsense.

For the sake of the birds? When this guy threw a tantrum, he could kick the entire bird race away like a ball!
