Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter
Chapter 512 - 170: Divine Spirits Hidden in the Graveyard of Yin and Yang, Teasing the Wolf Mother, Forging the King’s Axe, Gazing Upon the World’s End
This brought a sense of assurance and joy to the Ice Barbarians of the Xuefang Clan.
They happily shouted the names "Barbarian King" and "Wolf Mother" as they danced around the fire.
From the main tent by the fire, Xuefang Yan strode out quickly, approached Li Yuan and Wolf Mother, bowed in salute, then smiled and asked, "Have you met the Barbarian King and the Wolf Mother? Are the Barbarian King and Wolf Mother now wed?"
Wolf Mother slightly raised her head, revealing a divine aura, and said, "In accordance with the divine will, successive Wolf Mothers will coexist with the Barbarian King."
Xuefang Yan clenched his fist, raised it, and said, "Great! This is wonderful!
From now on, our Nine Flames will have the protection of both the Wolf Mother and the Barbarian King!
The union of Wolf Mother and Barbarian King is a blessing for our Nine Flames Clan!"
Li Yuan silently glanced at the woman before him, saying nothing.
However...
He had no desire to have any relation with the woman before him, nor with any of the previous Wolf Mothers.
There were too many issues with these women.
If they were by his pillow, one could never tell when they might stab him with a knife or sell him out from the shadows.
Besides, in terms of looks, the Wolf Mother could not compare to Cui Huayin.
Having known beauty so striking as Cui Huayin’s, he had developed quite the resistance to such allure.
In his eyes, a woman of the Nine Flames Clan’s exalted status like the Wolf Mother could not compare to Zhenyan Xue, even though Zhenyan Xue was just an ordinary woman of the Zhenyan Clan.
Nonetheless...
Since the Wolf Mother spoke thus, it did offer him some benefits.
So, he would play along with the notion of "coexistence," but once they returned, he needed to explain it clearly to Zhenyan Xue, lest she misunderstand.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Li Yuan said, "Xuefang Yan, take me to the wolf pen."
"Yes, Barbarian King!"
Xuefang Yan’s eyes burned like fire as he turned to personally lead the way.
This Xuefang Clan was where the Wolf Mother raised the Ice and Snow Giant Wolves, and there were many wolf pups here.
While the wolf pups had not yet fully grown, their power was only on the level of the Ninth Grade, which suited Li Yuan’s needs.
Li Yuan spent some time and unceremoniously established a Divine Soul Connection with five of the wolf pups.
Five was his limit at this moment.
Wolf Mother looked at him oddly and said, "I didn’t expect the Barbarian King to be so versatile."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Have you changed your mind?"
Wolf Mother asked curiously, "What mind?"
Li Yuan said, "To teach me your secret skills so I can see the scenery farther away for you."
Wolf Mother was somewhat at a loss...
...
...
There was neither day nor night on the Frozen Soil.
It was not known how long it had been deep in the Immortal Tomb, before the labyrinth.
Pa.
Pa.
Led by the Ice and Snow Giant Wolf, the little wolf pups walked into the labyrinth.
Meanwhile, at the entrance, stood a man cloaked in black holding the remaining four wolf pups and a woman draped in Silver Gauze.
Li Yuan didn’t mind revealing this special Beast Tamer’s power, as it was no longer his biggest trump card; exposing it to others didn’t bother him.
His greatest trump card was "in the Black Market Ghost Realm’s area, Celestial Thunder Enters Fourth Grade, Green Snake Fire, Nine Nine Eighty-One Body-Breaking Blade Qi."
With such power, even if Qing Hancheng came, it would be cut down.
Even if it couldn’t be cut down at once, it could at least be wounded.
And as long as it was wounded, no matter the ends of the earth, Yan Yu could logically step in.
However, in Wolf Mother’s eyes, the power Li Yuan casually revealed was not so simple.
She had already guessed something, and with considerable shock, she glanced at Li Yuan and said, "Barbarian King, are you able to see the image within through those wolf pups?"
Li Yuan nodded, suddenly speaking softly, "The Nine Flames Clan sees us now as husband and wife. Though not in fact, we’re allies. Therefore, this little hidden ability of mine doesn’t need to be concealed from you."
Wolf Mother hesitated and said, "You mean it?"
Li Yuan sincerely replied, "I can see the image inside through the wolves, only... I can only tame Ninth Grade Demon Beasts, hence the wolf pups. Speaking of which, I don’t even know your name."
Wolf Mother shook her head and said, "I have no name. Since I have memory, I’ve been Wolf Mother, and they only refer to me as Wolf Mother.
I know that for someone as strong as you, your lifespan won’t be short. After I die, the next Wolf Mother will still be your woman.
I believe she will make the same choice as I did."
Li Yuan placed down the four wolf pups, suddenly patting her on both shoulders, and said with a serious tone, "But in my eyes, the Wolf Mother, with whom I’ve gone from being strangers and wary to trusting, is only you."
Upon hearing this, Wolf Mother’s delicate body shuddered; never had anyone spoken to her like this because such a person couldn’t have existed before...
Li Yuan reached out, pulling the woman shrouded in Silver Gauze, full of ill intentions and riddled with mysteries, into his arms.
Wolf Mother felt her mind "buzz," then went blank.
She savored this embrace slowly... slowly... Her expression turned from dazed to cold, and her lips curled into a cold smile, as if some force constantly reminded her, corrected her, to prevent her from straying from the path of fate.
The cold smile turned alluring...
Wolf Mother laughed, "As long as the Barbarian King is willing to guard this place, all Wolf Mothers will be your wives, all Barbarian races will be your subjects."
The Frozen Earth Clan’s original name was Nine Flames, but ever since outsiders called them the Ice Barbarians, and since Li Yuan declared himself the Great Barbarian King, the Nine Flames Clan also became the Barbarian race.
Li Yuan released her from the embrace, and he once again sensed something amiss with the Wolf Mother. His impromptu performance had clearly worked, yet it was... countered.
A man and a woman, each harboring their own secrets, appeared to stand harmoniously at the entrance of the labyrinth.
Li Yuan bent down, picking up the four wolf pups once more, keeping them warm so that after the first wolf pup had any issues, they could continue forward.
