Chapter 250: Two Punches Shatter a Revenge Dream

~7 min read 1,215 words

Cheng Shuili flicked her hand, slowly clenched it, and then delivered another thrusting punch!

The effect of adding ten points of Strength was obvious; the iron gate let out a huge roar with her movement, and this not only left a mark on the gate but also slammed it out of its frame.

Under Laolang's shocked gaze, the iron gate slowly fell outward, leaving only the bearing fixed to the frame to spin feebly.

Among the group, Su Rui was the first to react; she stepped onto the iron gate, aimed, seized Laogou, and pressed her dagger against his neck—he had to behave honestly even if he was being dishonest.

After eliminating this biggest threat, the remaining two beastmen found it even harder to recover from their shock.

Laolang opened his mouth wide, looked at the iron gate, then at Cheng Shuili, the truly "delicate" little girl, and stared in disbelief at her pure white palm.

Not knowing what possessed him, after a moment, Laolang suddenly knelt up straight.

He tilted his head back and let out a howl, looking extremely agitated.

When Cheng Shuili thought she could ignore it, the simple beastman started banging his head alone with a "bang bang bang," while shouting, "Having Lao Da as our king! It's a blessing for our wolf clan!!!"

If previously Laolang's loyalty was only to Wolf Fang, now he only wants to recognize Cheng Shuili.

Even the king is afraid of comparison!

What were the previous kings?

As long as they can comfortably lead their own bloodline from above, it's fine to ignore those lowly wolves as well!

But those kings? They'd love to eat their flesh and drink their blood!

Among the dozens of wolf kings that have come and gone, Laolang had never heard of anyone like Cheng Shuili before.

Let's set aside combat power for now; no, combat power cannot be ignored.

Their wolf clan has a martial tradition!

Laolang heard a few brothers in the clan mention recent disputes, saying that the old wolf king gave Wolf Fang to a human, and the clan members were not very satisfied.

In Laolang's view, Lao Da doesn't need to argue with these stinky wolves; a single move could drop a pack of wolves' jaws.

Not right...

How can such a matter still have Lao Da act personally?

Since Lao Da thinks so much for him, Laolang should also do his part for Lao Da!

Cheng Shuili didn't realize that from the moment her two punches shattered Laogou's revenge dream, she became the wolf clan's genuine new king!

Time returned to the present; Cheng Shuili wore a worried expression, feeling that this rookie's brain wasn't very effective.

Could it be that she got dazed from head‑banging?

Seeing Laolang about to start a few more head bangs, Cheng Shuili quickly placed both hands on him, and regardless of whether he could endure, she pulled the beast up from the ground with a single effort.

She even pulled him so fast that Laolang couldn't even steady his footing, and only after Cheng Shuili gave him a hand did he regain his balance.

At that moment Laolang admired Lao Da even more, impatiently expressing his loyalty: "Lao Da! From now on you are the only Lao Da for us brothers! Whether you become king or not, you will always be our eternal Lao Da!"

Those words were truly spiteful.

Cheng Shuili had just become one, and she has no intention of stepping down yet.

She treated Laolang's words as sleep talk, calmly soothing the beastman's emotions.

During this, Laogou interjected several times, each time being silenced by Su Rui pressing her dagger against his throat.

The deep master‑servant bond between the two made the guide beside them turn green with envy; he also wanted to follow Cheng Shuili's lead!

If before one could only see this human's connections and abilities, now we can see this human's true strength!

In a place like this, humans with such overall quality are rare.

The guide pursed his lips, unsure how to speak for a moment.

Rushing to become someone's servant—no matter how you look at it, it's awkward, right?

While he was still hesitating, Su Rui couldn't help but urge, "Lao Da, should we finish this off directly?"

The quiet Laogou was startled, suddenly struggling, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'm useful! I'm far more useful than that dumb wolf who only wags its tail!"

He twisted his body trying to crawl toward Cheng Shuili's feet, and Su Rui simply let go of the dagger and instead stepped on his back with a foot.

Laogou's face slammed hard onto the ground, yet he still strained to lift his head, saliva mixed with the fresh blood splatter from the iron gate dripping from his mouth corner:

"The black market… the black market's tunnel map! I know all the secret passages! I know every hidden warehouse of the Rat Clan!"

He gasped rapidly, then flashed a strange grin, as if convinced Cheng Shuili couldn't resist the temptation: "Also… servant, don't you need a servant? Only I can do this job here! Only I can! Spare my life, and from now on you may choose any of my servants at will!"

"Returning it is fine too, returning it is fine!"

Su Rui hadn't yet delivered the killing blow, but hearing that, her eyes reddened instantly; she crouched, thrust the dagger beside Laogou's neck, the blade leaving a blood mark, and with a slightly closer motion she sliced his trachea.

If I had known now, why the past?

The Rat King is a friend; Cheng Shuili naturally wouldn't be interested in those Rat Clan warehouses.

She waved her hand, telling Su Rui to be straightforward.

Su Rui let out a cold laugh, the dagger's cold flash flashing, and she cleanly slashed across Laogou's throat.

"Pfft—"

Fresh blood gushed out instantly, Laogou's eyes widened, his throat emitted a "hoho" gasp, his hands instinctively covered his neck, yet he couldn't stop the torrent of blood.

He staggered back two steps, the ferocity on his face gradually giving way to fear; finally he abruptly turned his head toward Cheng Shuili, as if unable to understand why anyone would dislike wealth, then with a thud he collapsed, twitched a few times, and fell silent.

Cheng Shuili gave the corpse a casual glance, turned to Laolang and said, "Clean it up."

Laolang immediately straightened his back, his wolf tail involuntarily swayed, "Yes! Lao Da!"

After speaking, he dragged Laogou's corpse, moving swiftly toward the deeper alley.

Su Rui flicked the blood off her dagger, frowned, and said, "Lao Da, the warehouses and secret passages he mentioned before death…"

Cheng Shuili waved her hand, cutting her off: "It's a friend's property; it would be impolite for us to just take it."

The guide stood nearby, about to speak but held back, finally just swallowing, daring not to interject.

Just as it quieted, a rat beastman with a bow on his neck silently emerged; Su Rui jumped, while Cheng Shuili merely raised an eyebrow slightly.

Even though this place is a bit far from the black market's main district, it's still within its area; how could there be no little rats?

I'm afraid even Laolang and Laogou don't know, right?
