Chapter 551: Nine Sons of the Dragon, Each Different! (Please subscribe and support)

"Our friends are all busy with their own affairs now, so they have no time to help us."

"We might as well go in and investigate. If it's just a legend and no resentful dragon truly exists here, then we can seize the treasure, can't we?"

"Besides, no one has ever seen that resentful dragon, so we cannot be certain whether it truly exists inside."

Hearing Wang Yuping's words, the Thousand-Year Snake Charm naturally wanted to step up and help, so she looked at the two of them and spoke.

"Wang Yuping, you need not persuade him; he is nothing but a coward, timid as a mouse."

"He was scared out of his wits merely by hearing their legend; he simply dares not go."

"Even if we persuade him further, it would be useless. What strength does a person with a shattered courage have to help us seize the 'Zero Five Three' treasure?"

"So if he won't go, let him be. The two of us can go together; perhaps we can still gain some benefits."

"For such a cowardly man, we cannot count on him."

The Thousand-Year Snake Charm's words, combined with her expression, indeed left Lin Bai feeling utterly helpless.

For he truly could not provoke this young lady; she was no ordinary troublemaker and usually enjoyed provoking him with words.

Sometimes she even beat him with fists and feet; if not for some special reason, he would have long since slipped away.

How could he be entangled by this fellow? Moreover, the Thousand-Year Snake Charm had always harbored other intentions toward him.

Although she never showed it, Lin Bai knew it clearly; he knew this fellow's feelings toward him were not purely admiration.

She had other thoughts as well. After hearing the Thousand-Year Snake Charm's words, Wang Yuping covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

For she also knew that the Thousand-Year Snake Charm and Lin Bai were at it again, trading barbs.

However, such matters had long become routine to her, and she knew Lin Bai was absolutely not a person who feared trouble.

It was simply that, quite obviously, the Thousand-Year Snake Charm was using the method of provocation, wanting Lin Bai to go with them.

So Wang Yuping spoke to Lin Bai again: "Lin Bai, look, the Thousand-Year Snake Charm has already said so much."

"If you still refuse to go, wouldn't you truly be, as she says, timid as a mouse? We might as well go and investigate."

"If we encounter something we cannot resolve, we can always return and seek their help."

"If we can break the formation there, enter, and seize the treasure, we can bring those treasures back to them."

"That would count as fulfilling some of their wishes."

With these two women speaking back and forth like this, Lin Bai felt somewhat unable to hold himself back.

He could only, with great helplessness, nod to the two of them, and then helplessly spoke.

"If we wish to enter and investigate carefully, that is not unreasonable. I, Lin Bai, am willing to lead the two of you inside to investigate."

"But once inside, no matter what, the two of you must obey my commands."

"You must absolutely follow my orders; do not act rashly. Whatever I, Lin Bai, tell you to do, you shall do. You must never act on your own initiative."

"Because once inside, there will obviously be certain hidden risks. If you act on your own and encounter other problems, then I, Lin Bai, will not be responsible."

Lin Bai raised this issue first, for he also knew that this woman, the Thousand-Year Snake Charm, was extremely difficult to deal with.

Moreover, this fellow was a thousand-year-old snake demon, with extremely formidable strength, and was utterly cold-blooded.

Therefore, Lin Bai had to set three rules with her; otherwise, once they entered, she might cause chaos again.

That would bring him great trouble. Lin Bai was not foolish; of course, he did not wish for such matters to cause him too much trouble.

That was why he spoke those words just now. After hearing Lin Bai's words, the Thousand-Year Snake Charm nodded to him.

Then, with complete indifference, she said, "Rest assured; once inside, I will obey you."

"However, there are certain matters where, of course, we must retain the right to make our own choices."

"It is not as if every matter must be reported to you for approval; doing so would only make things more troublesome for us."

Lin Bai said no more, then looked at Wang Yuping, for he knew Wang Yuping was relatively reasonable and well-mannered.

Moreover, Wang Yuping's strength was also quite formidable; this time, the few of them entering together could give it a try.

Even if a resentful dragon truly existed, Lin Bai could find a way to deal with it. Although there would be risks, since ancient times, great fortune has been sought amidst danger.

What opportunity exists without risk? Therefore, Lin Bai could view this matter with an open mind.

After careful thought, Lin Bai looked again at that middle-aged man.

Seeing the aggrieved expression on that middle-aged man's face, Lin Bai spoke again.

"I just gave you a chance; this time I give you another chance. You must seize it. Have you not always wanted to enter and seize the treasure? How about joining us this time? And after this matter,"

"it will also allow me to see your sincerity, and whether everything you just said is truly real."
