Chapter 212: Olive Branch and Alliance

Sponsored Content

He’lian Lie had been following the movements of Lou Mu Yan and Luo Ye’s teams.
He guessed that they would set off at night, so he waited here, and as expected, they indeed arrived.

“Is Lord Luo and Young Miss Lou going out of the city to travel?”

Lou Mu Yan saw that he was holding a folding fan and looked like an amorous sir, but she didn’t dislike it, “Mm.”

“I wonder if this one He has the honour to join?” He’lian Lie’s handsome face revealed a modest smile.

Luo Li rolled his eyes at him “No.”

This He’lian Lie looked at Lou Mu Yan with an impure gaze.
He didn’t like it.

“Lord Luo, the Trade Fair is about to start, how about we join forces?” He’lian Lie suggested.

The end of the Trade Fair also meant that the points competition would reach its climax—elite teams from various kingdoms would flock to the central city and would also attack without restrain.
Most kingdoms would choose a temporary alliance.

He was originally going to form an alliance with two other kingdoms, but he changed his mind after seeing Lou Mu Yan.

Lou Mu Yan’s talent in Arrays was simply too amazing.
He no longer thought about having her marry him and return as his imperial concubine.
He couldn’t control such a woman, but he couldn’t let go of the opportunity to befriend her.

Although he was the most favoured Prince of the most powerful kingdom in the Eastern Region, but he also bore the responsibility behind his noble status.
Each kingdom had its own Array Masters that built their own Great Kingdom Protection Array.

Dong’xun Kingdom also had its own Great Array, but it was only one step away from perfecting its defence, and this step required a Grade 5 Array Master to complete.

But Grade 5 Array Masters were very rare on the entire Tian’ling Continent.
Any who came out was an existence that affected countless major forces.
Dong’xun Kingdom also tried to invite them but failed.

A talent like Lou Mu Yan might have the possibility of becoming a Grade 5 Array Master in the future, so it definitely wasn’t wrong to befriend her.
What’s more, Yan’zhou Kingdom was one of the small, affiliated kingdoms of Dong’xun, so they were also considered to be tied.

Seeing Luo Ye consider it, he turned to look at Lou Mu Yan with a smile and said: “Speaking of which, Young Miss Lou and I are both from the Eastern Region.
How about joining forces in the following points competition?”

Lou Mu Yan naturally found that He’lian Lie wanted to befriend her.
Thinking of He’lian Lie’s identity, she smiled, “Sure!”

The Ling Clan and the Lou Clan both settled in the Eastern Region and there were many hidden enemies, such as the Xue Clan and Gu Clan, plus the black-clothed forces that attempted to assassinate her at the Glacial Mountain Range, so it always made her feel a little uneasy.

He’lian Lie was the Prince of the strongest kingdom in the Eastern Region and to be able to participate in the Tian’ling Continent Tournament for Hegemony meant that his status naturally wouldn’t be low.
It would be beneficial for both the Ling and Lou Clan to befriend him.

Since He’lian Lie extended an olive branch1, she would naturally take it.

Luo Li furrowed his brows, but he was from a Clan in a superpower kingdom to begin with, so he figured out the key to why Lou Mu Yan agreed.

“Sure, then let’s join forces.” Luo Ye sighed.
Even Lou Mu Yan agreed to join forces with He’lian Lie, Luo Li definitely must get involved too.

“Lou Mu Yan, we’re also allies now.” Although Luo Li disliked He’lian Lie, but he wouldn’t mess up Lou Mu Yan’s decision.

Her Clan was in a small kingdom of the Eastern Region, so if she was on friendly terms with He’lian Lie, then she could get the Imperial Family of Dong’xun to take care of her somewhat.

Lou Mu Yan blinked at Luo Li and joked: “I thought we were allies long ago.”

“Of course, you promised to be with us yesterday.” Luo Li raised his chin proudly.

Lou Mu Yan just liked his tsundere, explosive appearance the most, “Luo Li, you really look very much like the cat I once raised.”

That cat was adopted by her when she was a child.
Later, it followed her to cultivate every day, and after it transformed, it was very similar to Luo Li’s appearance.
However, in order to save her, it died in a Secret Realm.

Therefore, after getting acquainted with Luo Li, she also had the feeling of extending her like for that cat towards him.

Luo Li’s face darkened.
This woman already said he was like a cat that exploded with anger last time too, “I’m not a cat.”

Yun Zi Mo and the others also saw how close Lou Mu Yan was to Luo Li, and they were extremely surprised.

One must know that Lou Mu Yan appeared gentle and refreshing on the surface, but it was too difficult to truly enter her heart and befriend her.

After reaching an alliance agreement, Lou Mu Yan and the others rushed out of the city gate towards the next large city.

Large-sized Beast Tides didn’t gather every day.
At night, under the guidance of Mo Yan, they managed to block two waves of medium-sized Beast Tides and advanced a few ranks.

“Lou Mu Yan, how can you calculate it more accurately than my Elder Brother?” Luo Li approached her and said with a smile.

The places she guided them to were all gathering places of the Beast Tides and it was impossible to detect using Mental Energy from so far away, so how did she find it?

Lou Mu Yan looked at him in amusement, “I didn’t calculate it.”

“You’re such a strange woman.” Luo Li shook his head with a smile and didn’t inquire into her secrets anymore.

This woman didn’t properly improve her cultivation base, but just liked to study these unconventional things.

Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him, “You’re the strange one.”

In fact, apart from Yun Zi Mo and the others, He’lian Lie and his group were also curious as to why Lou Mu Yan could so accurately grasp the trend of the gathering of medium-sized Beast Tides.

The more they interacted with this woman, the more it led to new discoveries, as if she had an endless sense of mystery.

After killing two waves of medium-sized Beast Tides, Lou Mu Yan led the three teams to surround and kill several small Beast Tides.
In any case, ‘grasshoppers still had meat no matter how small they were’.

The level of Demonic Beasts between each large city also increased.

Now, one could basically no longer see Tier 2 or 3s in small Beast Tides anymore.
Most of them were composed of Tier 5 or 6 Demonic Beasts.
The more they killed, the faster the points increased.

Seeing her ranking on the jade tablet advance to thirty second, Lou Mu Yan’s fighting spirit grew more intense.
What came next was the key timing to snatch points.

“Lou Mu Yan, you’re still five ranks behind me.
Maybe I might enter into the top ten a step ahead of you.
You better give it your all.” Luo Li still remembered the promised competition that day with Lou Mu Yan.

“It’s boring to simply compete, how about we make a bet?” Lou Mu Yan suggested with a smile, looking at the tsundere little cat.

Luo Li rarely had the opportunity to get close to her, so he naturally wouldn’t let it go, “Sure, This Little Master agrees, what’re we betting with?”

“I haven’t figured it out yet.
Why don’t we promise each other a condition within their ability?” Lou Mu Yan thought about it and asked: “Or what do you want to bet on?”

The thought of ‘I want you’ rose in Luo Li’s heart, and he quickly covered the strange look in his eyes, “Then let’s bet on a condition within our ability.”

“Sure!” Lou Mu Yan stretched out a palm and gave Luo Li a high-five as a sign of agreement.

“There shouldn’t be any suspense in the results.
Lou Mu Yan would probably win.” He’lian Lie shook his fan and interrupted.

He didn’t think the two of them could really advance into the top ten, but if there was such a possibility, he also thought that Lou Mu Yan had a better chance of winning.

“Humph, what do you know, little pretty face?” Luo Li glanced at He’lian Lie—this amorous ghost really was annoying.

Lou Mu Yan chuckled: “Enough, let’s hurry first, it’s almost dawn.”

The three teams arrived at the large city where the Trade Fair was located when dawn barely broke.
