Chapter: Chapter 416
The dragon-person girl, however, was unaware of the intricacies. Even though she harbored some doubts about Lethicia’s words, she inwardly felt that what Lethicia said made sense.
How could two radicals become friends? Only moderates could become friends.
Yes, that must be it. The dragon-person girl successfully convinced herself.
“Here, have some meat. Meeting you here is also a form of fate,” while the others were chatting, Silverfang had already finished roasting the meat. So, Lethicia gestured with her eyes for Silverfang to deliver the meat to the dragon-person girl. “After eating this piece of meat, we’ll be good friends!”
“Friends? Isn’t this a bit too hasty…” Looking at the well-roasted meat in her hand, the dragon-person girl was clearly still a little reserved.
Are friends that easy to make? Shouldn’t one first slowly build a good relationship before achieving friendship through subtle influence?
Shouldn’t this take a long time?
Becoming friends after eating a piece of roasted meat felt too abrupt.
“Abrupt? Not at all,” but Lethicia felt her statement was perfectly fine. As long as there was a mutual liking and the two parties weren’t sworn enemies in mortal opposition, becoming friends was just a matter of a few words.
This was the difference in how the two acquaintances perceived things. Their different upbringings had shaped their personalities in completely opposite ways. It was normal for the dragon-person girl to not understand something that was common knowledge to Lethicia.
As for Miss Bai, she was warily staring at the dragon-person girl. If she didn’t keep a close eye on this person, she felt she was in danger of being cuckolded.
Lethicia was interested in this dragon-person girl, and interest was the beginning of a fall. Bai Ling had to nip such a spark in the bud.
So, before the dragon-person girl could answer, Miss Bai spoke up, “Lethicia, don’t force her. Friends aren’t that easy to make. We don’t know each other yet, so it’s normal for this lady to have doubts.”
Lethicia cast a strange glance at Bai Ling at this address. Why did this guy suddenly start using this term?
“Look at this lady’s attire; she must be a young lady from some tribe. If you try to get so close, wouldn’t she naturally be suspicious of you?” Miss Bai continued with righteous indignation.
Young lady? Lethicia really wanted to roll her eyes. Who among those present wasn’t a young lady?
She and Bai Ling went without saying; they could be considered major young ladies of the entire world. Even Miss Silverfang was an heir to a tribe, so it wouldn’t be wrong to consider her a young lady too.
And this dragon-person girl exuded an aura of nobility that indeed made her extraordinary at first glance. However, Lethicia wasn’t very familiar with the various tribes in the vicinity, so she couldn’t guess which tribe’s young lady this dragon-person girl was.
But judging by the girl’s demeanor, she was likely not from a small tribe. A young lady from a small tribe would likely be at the peak like Silverfang, and the dragon-person girl’s upbringing was definitely better than Silverfang’s.
The Steel Spear Tribe was too far away, so their young lady was unlikely to appear here. But there didn’t seem to be any other major tribes nearby.
So, where did this mysterious dragon-person girl come from?
Looking curiously at the dragon-person girl who was nibbling on the meat, Lethicia’s eyes gleamed with a probing light.
This undisguised gaze made the dragon-person girl quite uncomfortable. She felt as if Lethicia was trying to undress her. Instinctively, she wrapped her tail around herself, and her small wings on her back clung tightly to her spine, adopting a defensive posture.
“You’re scaring her.” Bai Ling was more sensible. She stepped forward a couple of paces to block Lethicia’s line of sight. “Staring at a girl like that is very impolite.”
“You have the nerve to talk to me about politeness?” As soon as Lethicia heard this, she was wide awake. Anyone had the right to talk about politeness, but not Bai Ling, that pervert.
Who was it that had barged into another girl’s bathroom back then? And who was it that always clamored to bathe and sleep with another girl?
Who was it, who was it, it’s so hard to guess.
Surely it wasn’t a certain Sword Saint Miss with the surname Bai?
“Our relationship is different. Do we need to talk about that between us?” Bai Ling, knowing that Lethicia was being sarcastic, immediately resorted to sophistry, although the sophistry was rather pale and weak.
“Oh, you think it’s unnecessary?”
“Yes, unnecessary!”
“Unnecessary my foot! I’m going to beat you to death right here today, you shameless thing!” Lethicia immediately drew her fire poker, preparing to strike Bai Ling’s head with the stick.
Bai Ling reacted swiftly. The moment Lethicia drew her magic sword, she leaped away from her spot, fleeing to a safe distance like a rabbit.
“Don’t run!”
“Only a fool wouldn’t run!”
Staring dumbfounded at the two girls who had started their usual chase, the dragon-person girl forgot to even eat her meat. She just stood there, watching Lethicia wielding the black long stick and chasing Bai Ling around.
“This…” The dragon-person girl cast a pleading glance at Silverfang, who looked as usual. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn’t know what to say.
Silverfang had a stronger constitution. She shook her head helplessly and said to the dragon-person girl, “Don’t mind the two of them. They’ll settle down once they get tired of playing.”
Is this just playing? The dragon-person girl looked back at the two girls who were still chasing each other. Was this flying around just playing?
Even she, a dragon-beastman, didn’t have such terrifying aerial agility.
And the speed of these two was too fast, so fast that even if she concentrated all her energy to observe, she could only see afterimages.
This speed was beyond the dragon-person girl’s comprehension. The strongest beastman warriors she had ever seen couldn’t reach such speeds.
Who were these two girls? Why were they here? Why were they mixed up with Silverfang? Would they have an unforeseen impact on her plan?
As the two girls displayed their extraordinary strength, the dragon-person girl felt a headache coming on. She had initially thought that encountering an heir from an enemy tribe without escorts was already a very bad situation, but now she realized that even worse things were yet to come.
Where did these two ridiculously strong individuals come from? Why hadn’t she received any news about them before?
The dragon-person girl was bewildered and also scared. Everyone valued their lives, and now she clearly felt a threat to her life. If she stayed here any longer, and if these girls found out that she was actually from the Bone Wing Tribe, they probably wouldn’t let her leave.
Compared to her, the two girls over there clearly had a better relationship with Silverfang. If she were recognized by Silverfang, would those two take action against her at Silverfang’s request?
They definitely would.
If she died here, it would be truly hopeless. Her hard-won influence would likely crumble in an instant without her as its leader.
The thought of that scene made the dragon-person girl decide that she had to get away from here quickly.
If she finished eating this piece of meat, she could leave, right? She looked down at the roasted meat in her hand and opened her mouth, revealing her sharp, un-cute teeth.
In just a few bites, the seemingly elegant dragon-person girl devoured a rather large piece of meat, which surprised Silverfang a little.
Even Miss Bai, who had been hungry all day… oh, wait, Miss Bai, who had been hungry all day, probably wouldn’t even need a few bites; she would devour such a piece of meat in one bite.
Anyway, as long as Silverfang knew that the dragon-person girl ate quickly, the rest was minor, yes.
“Um, do you want another piece?” Silverfang asked timidly.
Another piece? No! Absolutely not! The dragon-person girl shook her head and tail rapidly, especially her tail, which was becoming a blur.
Wow, was the meat she roasted that unappetizing? Being rejected so resolutely, Silverfang felt her self-esteem severely wounded. She had originally thought her cooking skills were quite good.
Was the meat she roasted really so repulsive?
Seeing Silverfang’s face gradually turn pale, the dragon-person girl opened her mouth, but the words she wanted to say got stuck in her throat.
No, why are all three of these girls so weird! she roared inwardly. The other two were still chasing each other in the sky and on the ground, and this Silverfang had glitched out; what was going on!
Her intelligent little brain couldn’t comprehend what was happening with these people.
“Huh? Why did Silverfang turn like this?” Just then, Lethicia caught up with Bai Ling. She lightly tapped Miss Bai on the head with her magic sword, then returned to her original spot with satisfaction. Seeing the situation, she poked at the glassy-eyed Silverfang and asked with a confused expression.
The dragon-person girl, with a苦瓜脸 (ku guā liǎn – bitter melon face, meaning a dejected expression), quietly explained what had just happened.
After hearing the cause and effect, Lethicia let out a long “Oh,” and then casually stated that the dragon-person girl didn’t need to worry about Silverfang’s condition. This was a normal state of low self-confidence, and she would recover after a while.
“Is that so? I thought something had gone wrong.” The dragon-person girl also breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that nothing had gone wrong; if something happened to Silverfang, she probably wouldn’t be able to leave either.
Taking this opportunity, she requested to leave. “Um, it’s getting late. If everyone at the tribe finds out I’m missing, they might get very worried…”
“Ah, that’s what I overlooked. I’m truly sorry for keeping you here for so long.” Hearing the dragon-person girl’s words, Lethicia also showed an embarrassed expression. “I’m really sorry, this was my own impulsiveness.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Spending time with the three of you was very relaxing for me.” The dragon-person girl said this without changing her expression, completely spewing falsehoods. Relaxing? She had been extremely tense!
But she had to say it like this, so as not to arouse their suspicion.
“Hehe, by the way, what’s your name and which tribe are you from? Maybe we can come visit you in the future?”
The dragon-person girl’s expression became even more flustered. She definitely couldn’t say she was from the Bone Wing Tribe, but she also didn’t dare to mention other tribes. If these girls had visited those tribes, they would naturally know she was lying.
After all, she knew that with her appearance, she would be an undisputed focal point in any tribe, attracting everyone’s attention.
This made it really difficult for her to make up a lie.
Resting her chin on her hand, Lethicia looked at the dragon-person girl for a while. When she didn’t receive an answer, she instead showed an understanding smile. “Forget it, forget it. It seems you don’t want to tell us about your tribe. What about your name, can you at least tell us your name?”
“We’ve been playing together here for so long; it should be okay to know each other’s names, right?”
Name? That she could do. The dragon-person girl was overjoyed upon learning that she didn’t have to concoct a lie about her tribe, and she was even willing to reveal the name she had been reluctant to say. “My name is Linglong!”
Linglong? That name didn’t sound very beastman-like. Lethicia narrowed her eyes. “That’s a very nice name.”
“Yes, yes, I also think this name is very nice.” The dragon-person girl agreed wholeheartedly this time. She truly thought her name was good.
Afterward, following a rather insincere farewell, the dragon-person girl walked back in the direction she came from, looking back at them from time to time.
Lethicia watched as the girl disappeared into the jungle. After sensing the girl’s aura and her rapid escape, she couldn’t help but chuckle. “This girl is truly interesting.”
“Where is she interesting?” Bai Ling immediately picked up the conversation. She knew that when Lethicia said something like that, she needed someone to ask.
Silverfang had played that role before, but now that the dog-girl was temporarily melancholic, she had no choice but to play that role.
“If I’m not mistaken, that girl should be from the Bone Wing Tribe,” Lethicia replied with a light smile. “She probably knows Silverfang, so she dared not tell us which tribe she’s from.”
“Then the Bone Wing Tribe really does hide a lot of things. That girl’s strength is very high,” Bai Ling stated indifferently with her arms crossed. With her eyesight, she could naturally tell the combat level of that girl.
Compared to the Lion Head from the Steel Spear Tribe encountered earlier, that seemingly weak girl could fight at least five or six Lion Heads simultaneously, and even win!
This was definitely a hero-level unit, not a common grunt.
“Yes, I’m starting to believe in metaphysics now,” Lethicia stretched lazily. It was just a whim to go out, but she encountered a big shot from an opposing faction. How to describe this luck? It was very strange.
