"City Lord!" Cheng Bai pleaded.
Yuan Heng lowered his eyes, his light-colored pupils were covered by his long eyelashes, and the thoughts in his eyes were also mostly obscured. Only a hint of contemplation was revealed from his closed eyes, which carried a hint of foresight.
"Mayor, I've heard from the elders in my family that the meat of sea bass is tender and fresh, and my brother likes it the most. Is that true for you, too?" Yuan Heng suddenly asked.
Xining paused, and replied: "Yao'er has never eaten this Haiqiong."
"That's perfect. This time we two are going to hunt Haiqiong not for the wedding banquet, but to give the young man a taste... This way it won't be considered a bad custom."
“…” Xi Ning was silent.
Cheng Bai replied, "Yes, let's just treat it as hunting for Xiao Jiaobao to taste. We must have this competition. Please agree with the city lord."
"…" The two were full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit. Xi Yao sighed as he watched them, "Didn't you hear clearly what I just said? This Lie Hai Qiong is no small matter."
"Yuan Heng and I must have a life-and-death battle, and Lie Haiqiong is the best choice." Cheng Bai said stubbornly.
"..." Upon hearing this, a hint of sarcasm flashed across Yuan Heng's eyes. This Cheng Bai really hated him. In his eyes, after this duel, one of the two would probably die.
Xining looked at Yuan Heng and asked, "What did you say?"
"I think this fight is feasible." Yuan Heng said in a firm voice, looking so confident that victory seemed to be within his grasp.
Xining's heart was shocked. For a moment, he actually thought that this ancient orc was really sure that he could hunt Haiqiong back. But that was Haiqiong. His father had led a team of strong orcs to hunt her, but in the end, they all died in the mouth of an adult Haiqiong...
Over the years, countless brothers have married into Ning'an City, but only a few families have hunted Haiqiong back. Even if they did, they would be underage Haiqiong. How could an orc...
"No." Before Xining could say anything, a male voice came from a distance, and Cheng Li hurried over.
Arriving in front of Xining, Cheng Li immediately knelt beside Cheng Bai, stretched out his hand to push Cheng Bai's head down, and pressed it to the ground: "City Lord, this Hai Qiong may not be captured even if you gamble your life. Cheng Bai is ignorant, please stop this ridiculous duel."
"Brother!" Cheng Bai struggled but failed to break free from Cheng Li's grip, and shouted angrily from below.
Cheng Li said sarcastically with a cold face: "You can't even break free from my suppression, and you still want to hunt Hai Qiong?"
"Brother, I have my own way!" Cheng Bai struggled.
Cheng Li did not speak. He held Cheng Bai tightly and said to Xining, "City Lord, in the Sky Fox Clan, it takes dozens of beastmen from two families to go and hunt Haiqiong, and they only hunt young Haiqiong. It is not certain that they can hunt them back. The two of them went alone, they are going to die."
"Yes." Xining raised his head and sighed, "Even I don't have the confidence that I can hunt a young Haiqiong alone, let alone the two of them who have no experience at all. It is very likely that they will make mistakes when tracking."
Cheng Li continued, "If the tracking goes wrong and we can't find Haiqiong, it's fine. The worst result is that we find an adult Haiqiong. An adult Haiqiong is extremely destructive. Even if all the orcs in the city are mobilized, they can't hurt it at all. If the two of them really meet an adult Haiqiong, there is no chance of survival."
