Chapter: Chapter 444
“Linglong, I’m leaving this girl to you. No need to spare my feelings, educate her harshly and let her understand the cruelty of this world,” Leticia said with a pained expression, holding the delicate hand of the Little Dragon Girl.
“Wait, someone tell me what’s going on now! Leticia, are you exhausted? The potion matter isn’t urgent; you can relax a bit!” Linglong, whose hand was being grasped, broke out in a cold sweat as she sensed the killing intent emanating from beside her. A sharp gaze was fixed on her face, as if wanting to scratch it.
If this continued, her face might really be injured by the glare of this white-haired girl beside her!
For the sake of her own life, the Little Dragon Girl desperately tried to pull her hand away from Leticia’s grip, but in terms of strength, she truly could not match Leticia.
“If you don’t agree to me, I won’t let go!” The black-haired girl puffed her cheeks slightly, making her cute little face appear especially enticing.
It’s unfair to act cute! And don’t try to charm me; this little dragon girl can’t handle your cuteness!
With such thoughts screaming in her mind, Linglong cast a pleading look toward Bai Ling, whose face was nearly black with anger, hoping this white-haired girl could rescue her from this terrifying hell.
Here, the only person who could stop Leticia’s antics was Bai Ling.
The stunned Silver Fang, who was brought by Leticia to broaden her horizons, still hadn’t recovered from the shock; she never imagined that the goddess of the Bone Wing Tribe was this sister whom she had met a few times.
Her brain was overloaded; Silver Fang was unlikely to rely on this girl for a while.
“Don’t make it difficult for Linglong; don’t forget the real business we came here for,” Bai Ling firmly tugged on Leticia’s ear, speaking in an exceptionally gentle tone close to Leticia’s ear.
Yes, extremely gentle.
It would be even better if she could ease up her grip a bit.
“Hey, hey, hey, be gentle, be gentle! My ear’s going to be ripped off; it’s really going to fall off!” Under Bai Ling’s strong intervention, Leticia had no choice but to release Linglong’s soft little hand, wanting to protect her ear from Bai Ling’s grasp.
But how could Bai Ling, already unhappy in her heart, let Leticia off so easily? She pulled Leticia far away from Linglong before finally letting her go.
“You little pervert, do you believe I’ll break your legs if you keep harassing that girl?”
“Slander! Pure slander! Can this be called harassment?” Leticia exclaimed, her eyes wide; she was clearly pleading for help!
“Just look at my face, and then look at Linglong’s face. If we were entangled together, everyone would think Linglong is the one harassing me!”
“Sorry for not being as pretty as you!” Linglong shouted in exasperation. Getting caught in the crossfire wasn’t the most angering part for her; what truly infuriated her was that what Leticia said was indeed the truth.
Leticia’s looks were indeed superior to her own.
“Alright, alright, Leticia, why do you want Silver Fang to come here? This isn’t exactly a leisurely place, especially at this time; there are plenty of matters to handle.”
Knowing that further discussion on looks and who was harassing whom was futile, Linglong collected her emotions and asked her most puzzling question.
Why was Leticia throwing Silver Fang over to her side?
If Leticia had swapped Silver Fang for one of her other beastmen clan chiefs, Linglong could understand; it would simply be a way to help the heir build a good relationship with her and learn some things along the way.
Doing this would also show that she had no intentions of betrayal, after all, sending the heir to Linglong’s side was essentially using her as collateral.
But now that it was Leticia who brought her, Linglong couldn’t make sense of it. Silver Fang and Leticia did have a good relationship, but there was no need to send her to Linglong.
If it were about using her as a hostage, there wasn’t any need whatsoever.
Linglong still didn’t grasp Leticia’s and Bai Ling’s true power; she only knew that these two girls were very, very frightening, and she wouldn’t last a single attack under them.
Such people were ones she could completely trust because there was no point in not trusting them; they wouldn’t need schemes to deceive her.
If it came to learning something here… Linglong was quite self-aware; what she knew was nothing compared to what Leticia knew. It was like comparing a myriad of stars to a bright moon, or rather, one star against a bright moon—there was simply no comparison.
“It’s just to let her learn more. You know the Silver Fang Tribe has been too calm; this girl isn’t growing at all. I can indeed teach her some things, but without practical experience, it’s just empty talk,” Leticia rubbed her face, hiding the remnants of a bad smile. “You have many tasks, just right for this girl to experience the darkness and cruelty of reality.”
“Being a carefree child is also nice; if she follows me, she might become a bad child,” Linglong sighed, glancing at Silver Fang, who was frozen in place, steam practically rising from her head.
“Isn’t everyone here a bad child? In this world, you can’t survive without being bad, and besides, Silver Fang will take over her tribe in the future. If she doesn’t turn bad now, will she wait until later to stumble?” Leticia looked at Silver Fang with the gaze of a disappointing child, letting out a long sigh. “This girl has a good character; I quite like her. She helped me a bit before, so I wanted to help her avoid some detours.”
That was just Leticia’s nature—repaying kindness and seeking revenge. Since Silver Fang had helped her in the beginning, she would certainly think of ways to repay her.
But Silver Fang didn’t have exceptional talent. Leticia couldn’t guide this beast girl to enhance her strength, so there was no choice but to approach the situation from another angle.
“I’m a good child! I don’t understand those schemes!” Unfortunately, there was still an atmosphere destroyer present. Our pure and kind Bai Ling raised her small hand, solemnly declaring that she wasn’t a bad child.
Oh my good sister! Is this the right time to say that? Leticia coughed violently a few times, and Bai Ling’s interruption instantly shattered the atmosphere she had just managed to build.
Glaring fiercely at the innocent-looking Sword Saint, Leticia gritted her teeth and forced out the words, “Yes, you won’t ambush, you won’t play dirty tricks, and you won’t cling to a girl you just met like a sticky candy.”
