Chapter 316: Wolf and salted fis.h.!.+
Upon hearing Li Muyang’s words, the Wolf King’s first reaction was ‘You took away my pearl and now want to trick me to come with you, do you think I’m stupid?’
However, seeing the earnest look on Li Muyang’s face, it felt that perhaps this time his invitation was from the heart?
After all, who doesn’t want a super strong fighter like him?
As a result, the Wolf King stared warily at Li Muyang, saying: “Why would I go back with you?”
“If, don’t get mad, I’m just saying if,” Li Muyang whispered to appease the Wolf King’s angry mood. “If s...o...b..ll is unwilling to return the Wolf pearl to you, what would you do?”
“I will kill you.” The Wolf King said furiously. “I will not leave stop till you die. If I don’t get the wolf pearl, you’re not going to leave the illusion.”
“Impulsive.” Li Muyang said. “Too impulsive. This solution that hurts both sides, is not one that the Wolf King that is famous across the world for its beauty and wisdom should choose.”
Beauty and wisdom? Famous?
The Wolf King was taken aback for a moment, ‘I am so famous in the outside world?’
Right, the human beings that have entered the illusion must have spread his heroic ways, thus attracting the outside world to respect and wors.h.i.+p it.
“What do you suggest then?” The Wolf King asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice. Although the expression on its face was still vicious, but its tone of speech was more mild. Even if Li Muyang said a word or two wrong, it would not immediately pounce on and tear at him.
“What do you want?” Li Muyang asked.
“My Wolf pearl.”
“What else?”
Wolf King looked over at the other side where s...o...b..ll was spitting out bubbles, adamantly unwilling to accept defeat. “The heart of the weak water.”
“Right.” Li Muyang smiled. “Our goals are the same. I have the heart of the weak water, and my weak water heart had swallowed your wolf pearl. If you go out of here with me, and spend some time with the heart of the weak water, you guys will get closer.
Then if you ask s...o...b..ll to return your pearl, would it refuse? You saw it just now, how long have I been with it in the illusion? Yet it did not care about its life and protected me. s...o...b..ll has a strong sense of righteousness. If it hadn’t saved my life, you’d have trampled me to a patty. Right?”
“——” The Wolf King did not respond. But deep down, also thought that there was a little sense in Li Muyang’s words. This weak water heart has not seen what the world is like, easily deceived by the sly human beings. Wolf King felt that it could easily win its heart if it tried. Then at that time, it would possess both the heart of weak water and Wolf pearl.
However, Wolf King had never left or taken a step out of the illusion. He was born and raised here, and grew up absorbing the light of the red moon.
Who knows what will happen once it reached the outside world?
If that cunning dragon betrays itself after going out, what should it do?
As though had seen through the Wolf King’s mind, Li Muyang then added, “If s...o...b..ll does not return your wolf pearl, and you do not want to leave the illusion, what would your situation be?”
The Wolf King was silent and did not respond.
“Without the wolf pearl, you can’t absorb the red moonlight. Even your own soul would have been lost, there’s no way you could cultivate and break into the next realm, and you can’t use your power. Even you will slowly weaken, slowly grow old. At that time, you will be replaced by the new Wolf King. Is this the life you wanted?”
“——”
“If you lost the Wolf pearl, lost the dream and pursuit of a wolf, what is the difference between you and a salted fish?”
“What is a salted fish?” The Wolf King asked.
“It’s a specialty dish of Jiangnan.” Li Muyang explained. “Dried freshwater fish, great with a bowl of rice porridge every morning. Very refres.h.i.+ng and tasty.”
“What’s wrong with being a salted fish?” The Wolf King was puzzled.
“——”
Li Muyang, not wanting to answer
answer such a childish question, looked at the Wolf King and said, “You think about it. If you don’t like the suggestion, let’s go separate ways. I will probably not come back to this place in the rest of my life.”
After a brief paused, he looked at s...o...b..ll that had jumped onto his shoulder and continued, “You can fight if you want. s...o...b..ll will play with you. It is the heart of weak water. As long as there are water elements, it has endless energy to fight with you. Without the Wolf pearl, you can’t absorb the red moonlight for usage. Most likely that if you are not beaten to death you will be exhausted to death.”
“——”
Li Muyang was not in a hurry, he knew that the Wolf King needed some time to consider.
After all, this was the place where it was raised, and if it suddenly left like that, who knows what the outcome would be?
Li Muyang touched s...o...b..ll’s paw, and it slapped him with its little paw. Evidently, it didn’t like this kind of intimacy.
Li Muyang was amused, reaching out to touch its nose. It quickly retreated, constantly puffing out bubbles, like a big-eyed fish blowing out bubbles in a pond.
“s...o...b..ll, where did you hide just now? Didn’t you swallow me? Why did you spit me out again?”
“Pfff——”
“How is the situation of the water illusion now? Have all my friends escaped?”
“Pfff——”
