"Alright!"
Lin Fan nodded, but in his heart, he did not take the Wolf Clan Great Elder’s words seriously.
In Lin Fan’s mind, the idea that one could pluck the sun, moon, and stars with a re hand was probably just an exaggeration. If it were really possible, wouldn’t that make one a god?
Under the lead of the Wolf Clan Great Elder, Lin Fan returned to the Wolf Clan’s square.
Here, the banquet had already been set up. Tens of thousands from the Wolf Clan had all returned to Wolf God Valley. Countless fine wines had been laid out, bonfires were lit around the square, and nurous golden, greasy roasted ats gave off a rich fragrance. A huge black bear, a white-winged fish as long as a person, and eagles that soared the Nine Heavens had all been brought down by the Wolf Clan and placed on the fire to roast.
"Today, we celebrate the return of the Emperor’s Son; our Sky Wolf Clan celebrates together under the heavens!" the Wolf Clan Great Elder declared loudly.
"Awooo—!"
Accompanied by howls, the Wolf Clan’s celebration feast began.
"Emperor’s Son, please have a drink!"
ng Chong ca forward, carrying two jars of wine, and tossed one directly to Lin Fan, laughing boldly.
"Emperor’s Son, this is the Sky Wolf Brew made from the Wolf Clan Holy Spring, and ng Chong is a descendent of the Sky Wolf God—a leading candidate for the next Wolf King. His personal offering of the Sky Wolf Brew signifies the Wolf Clan’s loyalty to your father across generations, and their loyalty to you across generations. Please, Emperor’s Son, join our Wolf Clan’s celebration!" the Wolf Clan Great Elder said smilingly.
"Please, Emperor’s Son, join our Wolf Clan’s celebration!"
The tens of thousands of Wolf People below the platform raised their jars as well, addressing Lin Fan with respect.
"Good!"
Lin Fan was not pretentious; he picked up the jar and started to drink heartily, feeling a spicy sensation rushing down his throat, and his body instantly becoming hot.
"Great wine!"
Lin Fan couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration!
"Haha, the Emperor’s Son can really hold his liquor!"
ng Chong also lifted his jar, took a hefty gulp, and then said solemnly, "ng Chong of the Sky Wolf Clan requests a challenge against the Emperor’s Son!"
As his words fell, the bustling Sky Wolf Clan square suddenly fell into a deathly silence!
"ng Chong, what are you doing?"
"Nonsense. I think you’re drunk. How can you challenge the Emperor’s Son?"
The Sky Wolf Clan Elders on the scene couldn’t help but scold in a low voice, their faces showing anger.
"Oh? And why do you wish to challenge ?" Lin Fan asked with interest instead of anger.
"Because, the Emperor’s Son is a strong man, and I, ng Chong, am not weak either. I hope to gain combat experience and rapidly strengthen my power through fighting the Emperor’s Son!" ng Chong said earnestly.
Lin Fan looked at the young man from the Wolf Clan before him, a flash of admiration in his eyes, and nodded, "Alright, I accept your challenge!"
"What?"
"Emperor’s Son, you..."
The expressions of the Wolf Clan’s Elders shifted slightly.
"Co on!"
Lin Fan had already put down his jar and stepped directly off the platform, heading to the Wolf Clan’s square.
"Let’s go!"
ng Chong let out a low growl, his eyes bursting with fierce combat intent, and his presence surged wildly, charging towards Lin Fan like a barbaric beast!
The battle between the two brought the atmosphere of the entire Wolf Clan square to its peak!
"Awooo—!"
The Wolf Clan folks cheered joyfully, unable to restrain themselves from howling skyward, the scene blazingly hot. If an ordinary person were there, hearing the simultaneous howls of tens of thousands of Wolf People, they might be scared to death!
Without using his full strength, Lin Fan fought ng Chong for three hundred rounds before concluding the fight.
"Good! That was refreshing!"
ng Chong’s bones crackled, and he picked up two jars of Sky Wolf Brew, striding towards Lin Fan.
Though he couldn’t overpower Lin Fan with martial prowess, he hoped to defeat Lin Fan in a drinking contest!
The celebration of the entire Wolf Clan continued from morning until late into the night. Lin Fan got drunk two or three tis along the way. By the ti he woke again, it was already early the next morning.
A breeze brushed Lin Fan’s cheeks, bringing with it a cool sensation as it glided across his forehead.
Lin Fan abruptly opened his eyes and found a young Wolf Clan girl gently wiping his face with a handkerchief!
"Who are you?"
"Oh, Your Highness... you are awake... My na is Wei Ya, I am ng Chong’s sister," the Wolf Clan girl said with a shy smile.
Only then did Lin Fan notice that the girl before him bore a striking resemblance to ng Chong, with a perfect human face. When she smiled, two small dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth. Her long hair cascaded down, and her pupils were as pure as gemstones, untainted by the slightest impurity. Her skin was as fair as snow, her short-sleeved arms like lotus roots, holding a silk handkerchief that had just wiped his cheeks.
The only difference between Wei Ya and humans was the pair of Wolf Clan ears atop her head.
Lin Fan reached up, patted his head, and with no interest in admiring the Wolf Clan girl, silently circulated the True Yuan within his body, dispelling the excess alcohol, and finally sobered up.
He looked around the Wolf Clan square and saw that most werewolves were already drunk, lying haphazardly on the ground, while the rest of the werewolves who weren’t drunk were cleaning up debris on the square.
"Sigh!"
Lin Fan looked up at the distant statue and heaved a sigh, originally thinking that entering Wolf God Valley would bring news of his father.
Now it seed that while he knew his father’s identity was certainly extraordinary, any further news was nowhere to be found.
"Your Highness, what’s wrong?"
Wei Ya stared with big, innocent eyes at Lin Fan.
"It’s nothing!"
Lin Fan shook his head, stood up tall, and walked towards the direction of the statue with his hands behind his back.
Wei Ya quickly followed behind Lin Fan, she now served Lin Fan, according to the Great Elder of the Wolf Clan’s instructions.
Lin Fan arrived under the statue, circled the massive structure inspecting it, and then gently lifted his hand to touch the statue.
Suddenly, Lin Fan’s entire body jolted as if struck by electricity. He then slowly closed his eyes, and his whole being beca like a statue, maintaining the position of touching the statue, rigid in place, motionless.
"Your Highness?"
Wei Ya blinked her lashes, her pretty face almost pressing against Lin Fan, curiously examining him.
anwhile, a wolf howl ca, originating from the outskirts of Wolf God Valley, piercing the void, echoing and circling above the entire Wolf God Valley.
"Awooo—!"
The sound was piercingly mournful, as if struck by imnse panic, and all the Wolf Clan lying asleep on the square were startled awake in an instant!
"Humans are attacking!"
A low roar ca again.
"What? An attack!"
"Damned humans! Go, they actually found Wolf God Valley, move! Assemble all Sky Wolf Clan warriors, follow to battle!"
A few Wolf Clan Elders soared into the air, leading the charge towards the entrance of Wolf God Valley.
"Da da da!"
All the Wolf Clan warriors woke up, and after a burst of hurried footsteps, tens of thousands of Wolf Clan warriors surged towards the entrance of Wolf God Valley!
"Wei Ya, take good care of His Highness, don’t let him get hurt," said the Wolf Clan Great Elder, then he also headed toward the entrance.
"Okay."
Wei Ya naively nodded, leaving only Lin Fan and Wei Ya on the entire Wolf Clan square.
At that mont, Lin Fan seed to have entered a mystical space, surrounded by bizarre and shimring lights. Looking around, Lin Fan saw not far from him, there was a figure!
This figure, standing tall and upright with hands clasped behind, was nearly identical to the statue on the Wolf Clan square!
"Father!"
Lin Fan was shaken to his core!
