Chapter 1209: Chapter 1209: Terms for Reconciliation

"Does the current situation not align with your tribe’s interests? Why make things more complicated?" Pei Yan wasn’t too surprised by Long Jin’s act of pleading for the Fenrir Race. He glanced at the space passage about to open, sighed at their swift arrival, and casually teased.

Long Jin shook his head with a wry smile, saying, "Currently, both tribes are jointly managing the Dragon Realm. My father not only needs to stabilize his tribe’s power but also calm the unstable hearts of the Magic Plane tribe, who just lost their Clan Leader. Although they were the ones who made the mistake, I still have to strive to give them another chance. If their conditions don’t satisfy you, you can refuse them later. This will be my last effort; Fenrir Race can’t blame me then."

"Oh, so you’re making me play the villain again?" Pei Yan rolled his eyes at the embarrassed-looking Long Jin. He no longer jested with her and focused his gaze towards the Dragon Palace. Members of the Fenrir Race had already approached Pei Yan.

Seeing the arrival of Tushan Suisui, who had just won Hu Jiu’s favor, she stood up from a half-kneeling position and signaled to her clan members. Under her lead, the Nine-tailed Fox Race naturally stood beside Hu Jiu. As Tushan Suisui leaned tightly against Hu Jiu and placed her hand on his back without any displeasure, Fenris, the Clan Leader of the Fenrir Race, knew her daughter had already fallen behind in this first round of competition.

"Respected Mr. Pei, hello, I am Fenris, Clan Leader of the Fenrir Race." The female Clan Leader of the Giant Wolf Race stepped forward and extended her hand to Pei Yan in friendliness.

"Oh, hello!" Pei Yan didn’t expect the Clan Leader of the Giant Wolf Race to be female. With his mother as a model for managing a tribe, Hati, living in such an environment, would naturally not be used to being someone else’s puppet. Her hostile attitude towards him now made sense. Unfortunately, Hati didn’t understand that to avoid being controlled by others, one must first have the power to surpass others. Pei Yan had reached this point after paying a great price, and why should a fledgling girl compete with him, relying on her tribe? For Pei Yan, who had maneuvered among all major forces for so long, he truly didn’t consider this tribe’s strength noteworthy.

Thus, facing the Fenrir Race’s friendly gesture, Pei Yan merely nodded and replied indifferently. The accompanying members of the Giant Wolf Race showed anger on their faces, with some wanting to speak out in reproach. However, Fenris, with her hand suspended in the air and not getting any response, prevented it and smiled at Pei Yan before continuing, "Mr. Pei, my daughter just offended you with her words. This resulted from my lax teaching. Please believe that what she said was merely a moment of impulsiveness and doesn’t represent our tribe’s stance! Hati!"

Upon receiving the message from Long Jin, Hati’s mother, Finley, could no longer sit still. Her daughter didn’t realize the importance of this marriage alliance, but as the Giant Wolf Race’s Clan Leader, she understood it well. This alliance not only pertains to their tribe’s interests but also represents a crucial step in connecting the Beast Race on the rising Magic Plane with the Ancestral God’s descendants. The current change in the Dragon Realm was apparent to anyone, and this Young Master, who had signed a contract with Pei Yan, now highly esteemed across various planes by the Ancestral God, would become a representative of the Ancestral God’s will in the Dragon Realm if he survived this war. If they don’t win his favor now, in future disputes between the two races, he might inevitably favor one side.

Clearly, the Ancestral God has implicitly allowed both sides to send tribesmen to serve Hu Jiu, granting equal competition opportunities. Yet her daughter foolishly wasted this chance with an ill-conceived plan to take initiative in this relationship.

"Mr. Pei, please forgive my ignorance and recklessness! To offend someone as powerful as yourself was my most foolish mistake!" Having received a severe scolding from her mother along the way, Hati finally realized the gravity of the situation. Under her mother’s reprimand, she hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to apologize to Pei Yan.

"Hmm!" Pei Yan replied coldly with a deadpan expression. Apologize? Expecting to soften my stance with a few impersonal apologies? Today I’ll teach you how treacherous society truly is.

Pei Yan’s attitude left Hati’s face embarrassed, yet Fenris had anticipated this outcome. Judging by Pei Yan’s past deeds, without shedding some blood, he wouldn’t let this matter go easily. Bearing this in mind, Fenris didn’t become angry at Pei Yan’s reaction but instead smiled more sincerely and stepped forward, continuing, "I understand that my daughter’s behavior cannot calm your anger with merely an apology. Thus, to express our remorse and better facilitate our tribes’ cooperation in the upcoming war, our race is willing to dispatch five hundred Level Five Wolf Race members to sign master-servant contracts with the Investigation Hall agents."

"What?" While Pei Yan had yet to react, Tushan Suisui of the Nine-tailed Fox Race exclaimed in shock.

Though Pei Yan was secretly impressed by this offer, having dealt with veteran negotiators for long, he learned to conceal his true thoughts. Instead of responding immediately, he pretended to ponder, and secretly sent a message to Long Jin, asking, "Five hundred Level Five Wolf Race members, is their combat strength strong? Are they all from the Fenrir Race?" ℴ

Long Jin almost burst out laughing at the question, but to avoid revealing any flaws, she restrained her amusement and responded secretly, "What are you thinking? Do you think Divine Beasts are merely cabbages? Any Beast Race capable of reaching the Divine Beast level is limited by Heaven and Earth’s restrictions on offspring numbers. Considering the entire Fenrir Race of under three thousand, it’s bold of you to assume all five hundred are from them."

"Then these five hundred Wolf Race members?"

"The Fenrir Giant Wolf Race is the leader among all Wolf Races in the Magic Plane. Other species such as Silver Wolves, Icefield Wolves, and Night Wolves, view the Fenrir Giant Wolf Race as the legitimate descendants of the Wolf God. You could say that in these groups, aside from the Ancestral God, the Fenrir Race’s Clan Leader’s words are more influential than even the commands of the two Dragon Race Leaders. These Wolf Races do not belong to the Divine Beast Race without Heavenly Dao restrictions, and their numbers are considerably vast. Of course, their combat strength is relatively lower, speaking of ’Level Five’, their combat abilities are equivalent to Level Four Plan Cultivators, and their combat methods are quite basic. Furthermore, due to their innate talent, apart from a few exceptional individuals in the tribe who can break through the limits and reach Level Nine, most members in their lifetime will only stop at Level Six or Seven."
