Chapter 565: You

Ying naturally also went along with Yao's performance, slowly stood up and looked at the terrified, trembling man; he nodded and said, "Of course, if you're hungry you can eat him first."

Eat people? In an instant, the atmosphere became tense.

Sure enough, as soon as the words were spoken, the man dropped to his knees begging for mercy, his demeanor clearly frightened by them, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I won't dare again."

After saying that, the man tried to look up at Danluo for help, but Danluo's gaze stunned him; his warning look was also successfully captured by Nan Qinghuan and the others.

It was indeed his doing.

Since that's the case, let's let this man witness their true strength!

Nan Qinghuan also stood up, sneering, "Yao, do you need assistance?"

In fact she just wanted to scare the man into revealing that he was sent by Danluo, but the man was clearly threatened; he dared not speak recklessly and just trembled, kneeling there.

He looked as if awaiting death.

Yao, seeing this, didn't hold back; in front of everyone he let out a sudden roar, and after that he Beast Transformed into a black wolf, then, before Danluo, he bit the man to death!

This scene also terrified Danluo; his hand gripping the cup trembled slightly.

Is this the true power of Beastmen? It was originally to receive the Dragon City Lord, but this banquet turned into a bloody place; Yao became a wolf queen and bit the man to death, yet he did not eat him.

Quickly, he reverted, a strand of fresh blood still at the corner of his mouth; he stuck out his tongue and licked it, seeming to savor it.

Someone, take this corpse away, don't frighten the City Lord.

Yes.

Ashu had long prepared people to drag the body here; after the corpse was taken away, Yao finally turned and walked step by step to Ying's side, the two sharing a knowing smile, "Ying, I'm done."

Good, well done, let's drink, City Lord, weren't you scared?

Everyone stared at Danluo; Danluo's face was pallid, yet he showed no obvious fear, only a small laugh, "Haha, never expected Yao to be a Beastman; Ying, there are many capable people in your city."

You're welcome, here, drink.

City Lord, I, Yao, toast you with a cup.

Yao extended his hand, raised a cup to toast Danluo; Danluo, having seen his recent Beast Transformation, also stood up immediately, his hand gripping the cup trembling slightly.

Come, drink.

He gulped the cup down; this scene caught Ying's eyes, and Ying burst into laughter, "City Lord truly has a great capacity, here, fill it up."

This night, the banquet lasted until midnight before ending.

After Ying sent someone to let Danluo rest, Rongdi and a few others stayed here to discuss matters.

Ying, I just saw it clearly; that man was sent by Danluo, I think he can't stay, we must kill him.

Yes, Ying, I also agree with Rongdi; he sent people here to probe our affairs, meaning he wants to prepare an attack, we should kill him.

Youchao Xuan also thought this was right; Ying sat there, looked at Nan Qinghuan, "Qinghuan, what do you think?"

"Me?"

Nan Qinghuan's mind is now full of thoughts of her child; she misses the child, wants to go back and hold the child to sleep.

Yes, Qinghuan, say something, how shall we handle this?

Rongdi listened closely to Nan Qinghuan; he always believed her decisions were correct, so they should follow them.

Nan Qinghuan took a deep breath, her gaze turning outward; after a moment she murmured, "Actually, I also agree with Rongdi's view, kill Danluo."

This remark puzzled Jiguang, "Nan Qinghuan, aren't you opposed to killing?"

That was in the past, but now it's different; this time Danluo came to scout our strength, Yao's performance tonight scared him, which is good, yet he certainly won't stop there; he'll return, and next time will be when he attacks us. If we can foresee this, why not strike first?

Indeed, Nan Qinghuan had thought of it: since a battle is inevitable, then fight, deliver a single decisive blow to avoid a hundred, as Grandpa Mao once said; she felt it fit here perfectly.

"Strike first is strongest?"

Rongdi furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, "Then how do you propose we act?"

At the fourth watch, Danluo was personally escorted by Youchao Xuan to the guest's residence, a two‑story cottage where both upstairs and downstairs had people handling things, looking quite proper.

The dwelling was luxurious, a house Danluo had never seen before; everywhere was tidy, and the furniture, all wooden carvings, looked fine.

It was better than his own place; arriving in Kuaihuo City brought him many gains, and it dampened his earlier ambition, because he was frightened by the recent ghastly scene.

"City Lord, you may rest here tonight; our people are below, any request you have you can give them, and they will serve you."

Youchao Xuan politely explained, and Danluo smiled, "Thank you, your place is indeed much better than mine, truly enviable; I heard you transformed from a Tribe into this?"

Youchao Xuan knew he was probing for information, and answered bluntly, "No, not a single Tribe, but many Tribes formed what we are now; now many Tribes live here, everyone is a master of this place."

"Master, are you the master here?"

Danluo had never regarded the people of Dragon City as masters, because he himself is the master of Dragon City.

Exactly, the masters here are the Common People, not Ying.

"Common People?"

Danluo furrowed his brows, muttering to himself, while Youchao Xuan said briefly, "Please rest early, I take my leave."

Leaving those words, he hurried away; after they left, a man rushed to close the door—Danluo's personal guard, tall and broad‑shouldered, who had also witnessed his comrade being torn apart by Yao at the banquet.

So tragic.

"City Lord, what should we do now?"

Danluo moved to a side and sat down, lifting a ceramic cup to examine it closely; the cup bore a pattern, truly beautiful.

Who would have thought Ying's city would become so powerful, those few are all Beastmen; luckily we came to investigate, otherwise a blind attack would cost us.

The City Lord is right; their force is indeed formidable, so what now? Didn't the Baiqi Tribe chief claim they weren't strong, how…

"Hmph, Mao Ye Ye treated me Danluo like a fool; luckily I came this time, otherwise we would have lost before even launching an attack."

The guard also thought it reasonable; they almost were taken as big fools.

"Then City Lord, should we still start our plan?"
