Chapter 394: If He Were Here

Chapter 394: If He Were Here

Nalan's lips were tightly pressed together, as if she was somewhat angry with Su Youyue.

But she couldn't find a single word to refute it.

Because even though she didn't want to admit it, she felt that this Lady Xie's words had some truth to them.

However, she was being too arrogant. The men of Great Shen were so cowardly and timid that unless the brave warriors of their Wolf Hunter Clan captured them as slaves, they wouldn't dare come here, probably wetting their pants in fear the moment they arrived!

"The reason they are still here today is because they are women and cannot match the strength of men. It's because our Great Shen is weak and cannot match your Dongrong. But what will happen in the future is still unknown; who will rule the world is yet to be determined."

Su Youyue said coldly.

Before hearing Nalan's remarks, she could still treat her as an innocent young girl. But now she remembered that no matter how innocent and naive Nalan might be, there was still the hatred between their countries.

Nalan indeed said angrily, "Your Great Shen will never be able to defeat our Dongrong, just like you being captured by General Tuoba here, all because your man is not as strong as our General Tuoba."

Hearing this, Su Youyue almost rolled her eyes. "If my man were here, he could beat your General Tuoba so badly that his own mother wouldn't recognize him."

"..."

The two women glared at each other, neither willing to back down.

At that moment, a voice suddenly came from afar, "Look who I see, Nalan, who is this little beauty next to you?"

Just hearing this voice made one feel as if three layers of grease could be scraped off. Both women frowned and turned to look back.

Nalan's face changed first, then she reluctantly bowed, "Lord Tuoba Yi."

As she bowed, she subtly moved Su Youyue behind her.

Feeling the lecherous gaze of this greasy man, and noticing Nalan's small action, Su Youyue sighed inwardly.

Sometimes, you have to admit that even those who disagree with you aren't necessarily bad people.

Then she began to speculate about Tuoba Yi's identity. Since he shared the same surname as Tuoba Xiao, could he be Tuoba Xiao's brother?

It shouldn't be... Although she hated Tuoba Xiao, she had to admit that Tuoba Xiao was extremely handsome, with particularly striking eyes, which bore no resemblance to the brown eyes of this fat man before her.

Tuoba Yi pushed Nalan aside, the fat on his neck jiggling. "Little beauty, what's your name? Who brought you here? Never mind, doesn't matter. I am the son of the Wolf Hunter Clan's chieftain, and no one dares to take away a woman I fancy. From now on, you'll follow me, and I'll ensure you live a life of luxury!"

Nalan's face changed, and she hurriedly said, "Lord Tuoba Yi, this woman was brought back by General Tuoba Xiao. You can't take her away."

"Tuoba Xiao brought her back?" Tuoba Yi was taken aback, then laughed strangely and kicked Nalan in the stomach, "Nalan, have you lost your mind, daring to lie to me? How could Tuoba Xiao ever bring a woman back! Get out of my way!"

The young girl, caught off guard, was kicked hard in the stomach, her face contorted in pain, unable to get up for a long time. Seeing Tuoba Yi walking towards Su Youyue, she tried to grab his sleeve.

The onlookers around them pointed and whispered, but no one dared to step forward to help. After all, not many knew that Tuoba Xiao had brought back a woman, and Tuoba Yi was the son of the chieftain. How could they dare to provoke him?

When Tuoba Yi saw that Nalan actually dared to block his way, his anger flared up instantly, and he raised his foot to stomp on her hand. However, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

The moment he turned around, he saw the beautiful woman from Central China smiling at him.

In an instant, all of Tuoba Yi’s anger vanished, and he was completely entranced, reaching out with his greasy hands toward Su Youyue.

Su Youyue smiled, calmly raising her hand, each finger as delicate as a freshly cut scallion. Seeing this, Tuoba Yi hurriedly reached out to catch her hand, but to his surprise, her fingers suddenly lifted and aimed straight for his eyes.

With his mind still preoccupied with thoughts of the beauty, Tuoba Yi was caught off guard and was promptly poked in the eyes. The intense pain made him howl, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Looking at her retracted fingers, a hint of regret flashed in Su Youyue’s eyes.

It was a pity that she hadn’t used enough force to blind the lecher outright.

But even if she had blinded him, she wouldn’t have been afraid. If it caused General Tuoba Xiao to clash with the leader of the Wolf Hunter Tribe, it would only make things more interesting for her!

“Bitch! Grab this bitch!” Tuoba Yi, coming to his senses, roared in uncontrollable fury.

Seeing this, the burly men behind him rushed toward Su Youyue, who immediately took off running.

Nalan was stunned by the scene.

It was over; she had failed the task General Tuoba had given her, and he would surely punish her!

But in this situation, she remembered to prioritize Su Youyue’s safety first and quickly joined the chase.

As Su Youyue ran, she threw things from the stalls around her, temporarily halting the warriors’ pursuit. This allowed her to run in the direction where Tuoba Xiao had gone earlier.

However, she had no idea where Tuoba Xiao was exactly.

In the blink of an eye, the pursuers were about to catch up, and Su Youyue, startled, caught a glimpse of a flash of white in her peripheral vision. She immediately shouted, “Xiaoyue!”

This white wolf had injured her before, and during their journey with Tuoba Xiao, it had been quite aloof toward her. But at this critical moment, she couldn’t afford to be picky.

To her surprise, the white wolf leaped forward, rushing to her side. Not only that, it let out a long howl, summoning wolves from all directions.

Suddenly, Su Youyue was surrounded by wolves, forming a protective circle around her, making her look formidable.

Not only was Su Youyue astonished, but the pursuers were even more taken aback.

“It’s Xiaoyue!”

“Could this woman really be the one General Tuoba Xiao brought back?”

“So what if he brought her back! Grab this bitch! I’m going to teach her a lesson!” Tuoba Yi, who had just arrived, was panting heavily, his eyes red with rage.

“Everyone, attack!”

“If these beasts dare to resist, skin them and use their hides to make wolf caps! We are the Wolf Hunter Tribe, after all. Do you want to be without wolf caps? Are you still Wolf Hunter Tribe warriors then?”

For some reason, after Tuoba Yi spoke, Su Youyue felt that the men, who had been hesitant, became agitated, eyeing the wolf pack with predatory intent.

Xiaoyue bared its teeth, its snow-white fur bristling as if electrified, each hair standing on end like a needle.

Just as tensions were about to boil over, a light and airy voice suddenly cut through the air.

"Oh? Who wants to skin Xiaoyue? Say it again, this general didn't hear clearly."

If Lord Xiao Xie were here, he would beat little Tuoba so badly his own mother wouldn’t recognize him!

Little Tuoba: ? Say it again

Lord Xiao Xie: I’m on my way.
