C28 Princess Yi Yun
C28 Princess Yi Yun
Hong Moli lifted her gaze and looked forward.
Suddenly, many figures had appeared and blocked at the entrance to the marketplace.
Roughly a dozen in numbers stood these tall and strong warriors who wore their usual armor.
From a single glance, you could tell that these men were at a completely different level than the ones following Qi Wen previously.
Furthemore, the golden crest of a lion was clearly attached to each of their armor.
These people were indeed the elite warriors of Wild Lion Family.
"It's too late now. Chu Lin, you were too rash…"
Hong Moli looked at the group of well-equipped elite soldiers at the entrance of the market and said to Chu Lin with a wry smile.
Although there was a hidden bitterness in her tone, it held no resentment.
No matter what happens now, the past is already in the past. So, there was no point in blaming Chu Lin anymore.
"Humph! Different situations call for different actions. We'll just have to fight our way out of here."
Chu Lin stared at the group of elite warriors that had already surrounded them and said without a care.
Hong Moli let out a heavy sigh. Since she could not hold Chu Lin back, she could only take it one step at a time.
In the middle of the dozen or so elite Wild Lion Family warriors stood an especially eye-catching figure.
That figure was that of a slender and fair girl who was wearing a golden cloak along with a strange-looking headdress. With each delicate step, she walked towards the two of them.
"Wait... Isn't that..."
"Ah! She's the Wild Lion Family's Princess Yi Yun! Why did she come here?"
"It's said that Princess Yi Yun is the number one beauty in the entire Roaring Tribe. Now that I've seen her with my own eyes, that titled is certainly well-deserved!"
When everyone in the market realized who that person was, they all gasped in awe.
That person was not a Roaring Tribe warrior, nor was she a gifted Awakened Practitioner.
Instead, they got to witness the appearance of a great figure like Princess Yi Yun.
Now that they had seen her in person, the onlookers were naturally quite excited. They would even get the opportunity to brag about how they saw the princess with their own eyes.
"It's actually the little princess of Wild Lion Family, huh? This is going to be quite troublesome."
Hong Moli was shocked upon realizing the girl's identity as she knitted her brows tightly.
"Qi Wen is an Awakened Practitioner who has been working under the Wild Lion Family for a long time. Defeating him in a battle is essentially the same thing as insulting our Wild Lion Family."
"So what? If worst comes to worst, we'll just have to tie the princess up and rush out the entrance."
Chu Lin said without any hesitation.
Even Hong Moli was shocked by those words.
She could tell that Chu Lin was serious when he said this.
At the same time, Hong Moli felt a trace of warmth in her heart. After all, this all happened because he wanted to protect her.
Chu Lin is now going through all these troubles just to get Hong Moli out of her initial tough situation.
"This was certainly not a pleasant trip."
Hong Moli sighed helplessly and said to Chu Lin mockingly.
At this moment, Chu Lin's hand slowly clenched into a fist.
Up till now, he had never one activated his Nether Wolf Gene.
Strictly speaking, Nether Wolf Gene could also be considered to be an ancestral gene.
Not only did the Nether Wolf Gene gift Chu Lin with an explosive speed, but it has also increased his attack power by several folds.
Furthermore, the skill [Roar of the Nether] derived from the Nether Wolf Gene could disrupt the minds of everyone in a certain vicinity in an instant.
Even if the effects of the skill would only last for a split-second, it will nonetheless be more than enough time for Chu Lin to catch Princess Yi Yun.
However, surrounded by more than a dozen elite warriors of the Wild Lion Family...
Princess Yi Yun slowly walked in front of Chu Lin and Hong Moli.
Just when everyone thought that Princess Yi Yun was about to attack the two of them...
Princess Yi Yun moved slightly and bowed politely to Chu Lin.
"Warriors of Weiyang, please forgive my Wild Lion Family, for we have offended you greatly."
A genuine trace of apology appeared on Princess Yi Yun's delicate and pretty face.
"I wonder if I can invite these brave warriors to my Wild Lion Family. We have never been stingy towards such experts like you."
Princess Yi Yun's calm attitude immediately changed when she swept her gaze towards Chu Lin.
"What...? Are my eyes deceiving me...? Princess Yi Yun is actually bowing to that person?"
"Since even Princess Yi Yin is bowing to him, does that mean he's some sort of big shot?"
"An Awakened Practitioner capable of defeating Qi Wen must have extraordinary strength. Princess Yi Yun must be representing her Wild Lion Family to make peace with that person when she still can."
"I'm so envious of him, for he actually received Princess Yi Yun's attention!"
Everyone in the marketplace stared at Chu Lin with looks of envy.
If mere stares could cause damage, Chu Lin would have already been stabbed to death by their jealous gazes.
"Hmm? You want to invite me to the Wild Lion Family? "
Chu Lin was slightly surprised when he heard Princess Yi Yun's words.
To think that she actually wanted to invite him to her Wild Lion Family instead of making things difficult for him.
Standing at his side, Hong Moli too gawked her eyes wide open.
Although Chu Lin was powerful, he was still an Awakened Practitioner with a single gene chain.
That would surely not be enough for someone like Princess Yi Yun from the Wild Lion Family to personally come and invite him, right?
However, Red Jasmine seemed to have recalled an important piece of information at that exact moment.
"Princess Yi Yun... Could it be…"
Hong Moli glanced at Princess Yi Yun with an inquiring look as she asked cautiously.
"That's right, Lady Hong Moli. The Gladiator Tournament of Roaring Tribe is about to begin."
Princess Yi Yun nodded slightly as if she immediately knew what Hong Moli was about to ask.
"Gladiator Tournament? What is that?"
Chu Lin asked curiously.
"The Gladiator Tournament is a tradition of the Roaring Tribe. It's an event that takes place once every three years, but I never thought that it would be held at the same time as the trade gathering this time around."
Shaking her head with a wry smile, Hong Moli's expression turned increasingly awkward.
"Warriors of Weiyang, the Gladiator Tournament is a tradition of the Roaring Tribe that serves as a competition between the three great families of the Roaring Tribe."
Princess Yi Yun explained slowly.
"There are three great families in Roaring Tribe includes the Crimson Dragon, Fierce Tiger, and Wild Lion."
"Since the difference in strength between the three great families is not that great, the Gladiator Tournament will be held between the families to compete for the distribution of the resources for each family over the next three years."
"Both the Crimson Dragon and Fierce Tiger Family have managed to produce powerful Awakened Practitioners this generation. On the contrary, I have only awakened a single gene chain so far, so I'm not even close to matching up against them."
"For the sake of our Wild Lion Family's future development, we can only look for a few other young Awakened Practitioners to serve as representatives of our Wild Lion Family in that coming tournament."
Even after hearing her out, Chu Lin barely understood what was going on. He then turned around and looked at the Qi Wen that was lying unconscious on the ground like a dead dog.
"Could that be the external help you're looking for?"
Chu Lin pointed at Qi Wen on the ground in disdain, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
From Chu Lin's perspective, much less to being immune to Qi Wen's abilities due to his Nether Wolf Genes...
Defeating that idiot would be easier than stepping on an ant, even if he did not have those specific genes to help him in the first place.
