Chapter 2764 Chaos Wind Demon Wolf!

Once the matter was settled, things would have reached a checkpoint.

As long as Kong Huan received resources she was satisfied with, she would have no reason to make use of this subordinate with whom she was in the same boat.

Fan Lou had thought things through well. He had even set up schemes and plans for himself.

Unfortunately, things would never progress the way that wicked people like himself planned.

On the day before they left, Fan Lou was preparing all the resources they needed to bring with them.

As the guide to this Class 2 world, Fan Lou would need to prepare more resources so he could use them to make connections with the bigshots at important moments. Even if he could not make connections with them, he could at least leave a good impression on them. It was possible that a bigshot would be willing to give him a chance and open up a new path for him!

Before Fan Lou could finish organizing the resources, he noticed that Kong Huan had come to his residence.

As the Boundary Patrol Envoy who led the Sixth Boundary Patrol Team, Fan Lou had his own private residence in the Sky Beyond the Clouds. He was the master of his residence, and everyone else was his servants.

Given Kong Huan's identity and status, she should not come to his residence.

If there were truly any issues, Kong Huan only needed to send out an order, and he would go meet with him.

Her sudden appearance there had to mean that something urgent had happened.

Fan Lou understood better than anyone else just how important Kong Huan's image was to her. He was not the only Boundary Patrol Envoy who Kong Huan was supporting.

Previously, a Boundary Patrol Envoy had helped Kong Huan with a large favor and received a large reward from her.

Later, that Boundary Patrol Envoy became extremely arrogant. Despite continuing to serve Kong Huan, he no longer humbled himself to the extent that he used to.

This Boundary Patrol Envoy's actions had enraged Kong Huan, and she immediately stopped supporting and nurturing him.

Moreover, when this Boundary Patrol Envoy took on private jobs, Kong Huan punished him and kicked him out of the East Universe.

The four universes were constantly competing with each other.

After being kicked out of the East Universe and having held an official position in the East Universe, the other universes would never take him in. He would be forced to roam around the abyss as a homeless nomad.

Fan Lou's smooth development was partially credited to his abilities. But it was also because he was always acutely aware of his place.

Fan Lou knelt on one knee in front of Kong Huan and said humbly, "May I know why you have come to my place of residence? If you needed to speak with me, you could have sent someone to inform me, and I would have rushed to you!"

Fan Lou kept his head low while he spoke.

His demeanor pleased Kong Huan greatly.

It was true that Kong Huan had an urgent matter she needed to discuss with Fan Lou. Otherwise, she would never lower herself to the point of coming to his residence. If word of this matter got out, it would affect her reputation. She would never permit such a thing!

The various representatives from Honor Absent Parliament clashed against each other often. However, they were usually restrained to verbal blows and never reached the point of physical attacks. Once it reached the point of physical attacks, it would be a war between two powerful species

Moreover, the other members of the parliament would also do their best to stop conflict from breaking out.

This was unless the two sides truly reached an irreconcilable point.

Since they were unable to lay a hand on each other and the two sides possessed comparable power, reputation and might were the only weapons they could use against each other!

"Fan Lou, it goes without saying that I came here because I need to speak with you about something. Apart from me, there will definitely be other members of the parliament who will come to speak with you before we set off.

"You need to be clear about whose camp you're a part of! I hate subordinates who are a slave to their desires and are always dissatisfied with their current position and trying to climb the ladder! You became the guide because I put a lot of effort into promoting you. As long as you do well, you won't have to worry about living in comfort!

"You have yet to marry an official wife. I will arrange for a match between you and a female from my species. She will help you manage your affairs in your residence! You will also gain the right to participate in meetings held by my species!"

After hearing what Kong Huan said, the kneeling Fan Lou could not help but begin trembling.

Kong Huan had made such promises, to the extent of arranging for him to be married to a female from the Alluring Foxes. He would even gain the right to participate in the Alluring Foxes' meetings. This was an enormous honor! He would also have the Alluring Foxes' imprint applied on him, and everyone would be able to see that he was a relative of the Alluring Foxes.

In the Sky Beyond the Clouds, the stronger species held higher statuses.

Hence, the Sky Beyond the Clouds had a very different societal structure to the main world.

As the captain of the Sixth Boundary Patrol Team, he had more than 100 unofficial concubines in his residence but had yet to marry an official wife. This was because he had been waiting for just such an opportunity. If he had already married an official wife, he would not be able to grab hold of the opportunity even if it arrived!

"Fan Lou thanks Lordess Kong Huan's generosity! Don't worry. You are the only one I'll serve for the entirety of my life!"

Kong Huan nodded in satisfaction when she heard this and immediately left Fan Lou's residence.

Fan Lou had been following her for a very long time and had always been extremely loyal. Hence, she was not as worried about him.

Firstly, people were generally aware that Fan Lou was part of her camp. It was unlikely that someone like Fan Lou, who already had a master, would be recruited by others.

Additionally, Fan Lou was relatively timid and would not trust the promises of others unless he knew them well, even if they were also the Honor Absent Parliament's members.

The promises of others were unreliable. They could turn on their word at any time. As long as they eliminated Fan Lou in secret, no one would find out about their dealings.

The Alluring Foxes were an elite species, and Fan Lou did not deserve to be their relative.

Kong Huan had made Fan Lou such a promise because she also had no intentions of allowing Fan Lou to live.

After Fan Lou helped her to obtain resources from that Class 2 world, many members of parliament might set their sights on this Class 2 world. It would not be beneficial for her image for it to become known she had brazenly broken the rules.

Rather than nurturing someone like Fan Lou, Kong Huan decided to nurture more members of the Alluring Foxes.

Kong Huan had begun nurturing Fan Lou before joining the Honor Absent Parliament.

Now that she was a part of the Honor Absent Parliament and had attained some authority and power, she could begin claiming profits for the Alluring Foxes.

…

Fan Lou only stood up some time after Kong Huan had left.

He felt his heart racing and was full of hope for the future.

At first, Fan Lou had been holding onto some selfishness and wanted to make use of this trip to the Class 2 world to connect with some parliament members. But now, he felt that he only needed to dutifully remain by Kong Huan's side and do her bidding.

…

Soon after Kong Huan left, Fan Lou received a message from his subordinate while he was in the middle of a meal.

A man wearing a blue fur cloak had come to Fan Lou's residence. He had an impressive background and did not enter Fan Lou's residence immediately. Instead, he informed Fan Lou's subordinate at the entrance that he wanted Fan Lou to come to greet him personally.

The powerful species in the Sky Beyond the Clouds all had their own unique traits.

It was clear with one look that this man was a member of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolf species.

The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves had never even entered the top 1,000 ranks of the East Universe's Species Ranking.

Nonetheless, he was still far from someone whom Fan Lou could afford to offend.

The ranking of the Species Ranking was not only determined by the power of the species' experts but also by the size of the species.

The Chaos Wind Demon Wolf was a branch of the Moon-Worshiping Wolf species and had a rather small population. Otherwise, the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves would definitely be able to enter the top few ranks of the Species Ranking!

When Fan Lou heard that a member of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves was there to see him, he immediately set down his utensils and went to receive this visitor with the utmost respect.

This man wearing a light blue fur cloak finally smiled when he saw Fan Lou's respectful demeanor.

"Fan Lou, Feng Lin and I are old friends. He mentioned you to me in the past. I am here to see you because you are about to lead the team to that special Class 2 world. I will be going with you. The Lord of my family would like to meet with you before we set off. Do you have time?"

The gears in Fan Lou's brain immediately started turning when this man from Chaos Wind Demon Wolves mentioned Feng Lin.

Feng Lin was also a captain of a Boundary Patrol Team. He became a relative of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves a few years ago. After doing so, he held a lavish banquet in his residence, which Fan Lou attended.

Fan Lou had not interacted with Feng Lin many times, but they had no hostility between them. As such, it was unlikely that Feng Lin would speak ill of him.

Although this expert from the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves said that he was here to extend an invitation, in actuality, there was no way he could reject it. If he did not agree, the matter would definitely be reported to higher authorities.

"How should I address you? How could I not accept an invitation from Lord Feng Qing?"

With Fan Lou's agreement, this man from Chaos Wind Demon Wolves said, "Since it is convenient for you, why don't you come with me now? My name is Feng Xuan. I hope that we will be able to help each other and have a good time with you in the Class 2 world!"

Feng Xuan immediately emphasized the part about them helping each other. Fan Lou immediately understood Feng Xuan's intention to come to see him.

With Kong Huan's promise, Fan Lou had already decided to become the relative of the Alluring Foxes, just like Feng Lin had become the relative of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves.

However, Fan Lou was at a loss about how to turn Feng Qing down. It would not be simple or easy to turn down Feng Qing! He held as much authority as Kong Huan did in the Honor Absent Parliament.

However, he couldn't feign agreement due to the pressure he felt. If he agreed and word of this spread, not only would he struggle to prove himself to Kong Huan, but also—if he refrained from assisting Feng Xuan in the Class 2 world and Feng Xuan later disclosed his actions to Feng Qing upon their return—he would be guilty of deceiving Feng Qing.

At that moment, Fan Lou once again cursed his luck. He was stuck between a rock and a hard place. A single wrong move, and he would be crushed.

-

Fan Lou went with Feng Xuan to Feng Qing's palace. This was the first time that he was interacting with Feng Qing face-to-face.

Feng Qing had handsome features, a muscular physique, and a pair of light silver eyes that were full of gentleness and did not carry even a hint of pressure.

Feng Qing chuckled after seeing Fan Lou bow to him, and he said in a gentle voice, "Let's sit down to chat. You don't have to be so nervous around me! The Sixth Boundary Patrol Team finding a Class 2 world like this within your jurisdiction is also a gift from you to me!

"Feng Xuan, go and pluck a few Light Wolf Fruits. Envoy Fan, I'm not sure if you are interested in the Chaos Wind Demon Wolf and the Light Wind Wolf species' bloodline. Three Light Wolf Fruits should be enough for you to obtain a portion of the Light Wind Wolf bloodline's characteristics."

Fan Lou was taken aback by Feng Qing's immediate gift and the way he addressed him.

Fan Lou knew of the Light Wolf Fruit. It was a fruit that Fan Lou would never be able to touch in the past. It was a resource that he could not even buy with money.

Powerful species always had dependent species attached to them.

The Light Wolf Fruit was sacred to the Light Wind Wolves as their ancestors were all buried beneath the Light Wolf Tree.

Members of beast species who consumed the Light Wolf Fruits would obtain traits of the Light Wind Wolves.

Fan Lou just happened to be a member of a beast species.

The Light Wind Wolves' bloodline would enable him to significantly increase his speed, and wind would become his aid instead of an obstacle.

Kong Huan would be hesitant to give him such a reward even if he asked her for it.

Feng Qing's generosity touched but also bothered Fan Lou.

When Feng Qing saw that Fan Lou did not turn him down immediately, his lips curled slightly. It seemed that Kong Huan did not treat her subordinates very well or give them generous promises! Otherwise, he would not be so easily tempted by three Light Wolf Fruits.

Feng Qing and Kong Huan were not considered rivals. In fact, the two of them were not linked in any way.

However, Feng Qing would not show mercy when it came to fighting for profits. He was also unafraid of offending Kong Huan.

It did not take long for Feng Xuan to bring the three Light Wolf Fruits over and place them in front of Fan Lou.

Feng Xuan was aware of Feng Qing's intention.

Given Feng Qing's identity, it was not appropriate for him to extend an invitation to Fan Lou directly. Hence, Feng Xuan picked an appropriate moment and said, "After consuming the three Light Wolf Fruits, there will be sufficient Light Wind Wolf bloodline power in your body to make you a distant relative of the Light Wind Wolves. You will receive the protection of the Light Wind Wolves.

"If you are willing to help Lord Feng Qing, he will be willing to give you the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves' essence blood to change your bloodline. That will make you a branch member of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves.

"This gift will definitely enable your status to skyrocket! I don't think the master you serve will also be willing to gift you the essence blood of her species, right?"

The three Light Wolf Fruits had only tempted Fan Lou. But the mention of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolf essence blood had an effect that went beyond temptation!

Fan Lou lifted his gaze and looked at Feng Qing with his eyes full of hope.

Feng Qing's tone was no longer as amicable. He said sternly, "The Chaos Wind Demon Wolf essence blood is talk for the future. You will only get your hands on it after you've helped me. Additionally, I can personally transform your bloodline so you won't be put at any risk!"

Feng Qing paused before he continued. "Do you really think that Kong Huan thinks highly of you? The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves do not care about bloodline as much as the Alluring Foxes do. The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves have always had a history of taking in other species. But can the same be said of the Alluring Foxes? Think about the other Boundary Patrol Envoys you used to work with. You should be better aware than anyone else where they are now!"
