Chapter 237 Wenhu's Dilemma
A young member of the Blood Demon Society muttered to himself:
"Even so, she's just a Nascent Soul cultivator. Why should we be so respectful to her?"
Upon hearing this, the president gave him a cold glance, his tone laced with sarcasm:
"You think she's just an ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator?"
At the age of fifteen, he is at the Nascent Soul stage, possesses the Ghost Blood Vine as his spirit pet, and can even fight against cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage without being at a disadvantage.
"Who among you dares to underestimate such a being?"
The demons were speechless, and their contempt for Princess Wood Spirit gradually dissipated.
Instead, there was a deep sense of admiration and awe.
Seeing that the demons' attitudes had changed, the guild leader softened his tone as well:
"From now on, Princess Wood Spirit will be an ally of our Blood Demon Society."
Her rise will inevitably drive the development of our Blood Demon Society.
If you still have objections, you are welcome to test her abilities. However, I advise you to think twice before acting.
Upon hearing this, all the demons lowered their heads, and no one dared to raise any further objections.
They knew in their hearts that this Wood Spirit Princess was no longer someone they could underestimate.
Her talent, strength, and methods are enough to shake the entire demon race.
After the meeting, the demons dispersed in twos and threes, but their hearts remained unsettled for a long time.
The name of Princess Wood Spirit echoed in their minds like a bombshell.
The cooperation between the Blood Demon Society and the Wood Spirit Clan is destined to stir up a huge wave in the demon race.
News of Chen Wan'er's cooperation with the Blood Demon Society spread like wildfire.
Those demons who had previously sought out Chen Wan'er but were rejected were now furious in their own territories, their anger and resentment churning within them.
In some areas inhabited by demons, the wave of resistance against the sale of spirit orbs is even more intense.
On the surface, the market for spirit beads seems to have reached a stalemate.
However, this was merely a facade; in reality, the trading of spirit beads was becoming increasingly frequent.
The demand for spirit beads on the black market has not decreased but increased, and the trading price has risen accordingly.
Just as these demons were secretly speculating that Princess Chen Wan'er of the Wood Spirit would become afraid and compromise,
Just three days later, a bombshell announcement exploded across the demon race like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.
From this day forward, demons who wish to purchase spirit beads may do so.
You must purchase a certain number of items from shops under the Blood Demon Guild to be eligible to participate in the trading of Spirit Power Beads.
Furthermore, members of the Blood Demon Society enjoy a 10% discount, a piece of news that instantly caused a huge uproar.
The effect of this move was immediate. More and more demons chose to join the Blood Demon Society in order to obtain the Spirit Power Beads, and the Blood Demon Society grew rapidly.
Moreover, with the widespread circulation of spirit power beads within the Blood Demon Society...
The strength of the members of the Blood Demon Society has been significantly improved, and the overall strength of the Blood Demon Society has also taken this opportunity to reach a new level.
Those elders who were originally somewhat opposed to Princess Wood Spirit witnessed these changes firsthand.
Their attitude towards Chen Wan'er gradually shifted from initial skepticism and opposition to acceptance and appreciation.
However, amidst this scene of prosperity, a completely different picture emerges.
The wolf clan had previously offended Princess Wood Spirit, and were therefore stripped of their right to openly purchase spirit beads.
As a result, the strength of the wolf demons in the tribe was greatly reduced, and their overall strength decreased significantly compared to before.
Upon seeing this, the wolf clan chief was extremely anxious and rushed around frantically.
He spared no time or effort, asking others to act as matchmakers, all in an effort to find an opportunity to reconcile with Princess Muling.
When the wolf clan chief heard the news that Princess Wood Spirit had reached a cooperation agreement with the Blood Demon Society, he became even more determined to take a gamble.
After spending a lot of spirit stones, they finally managed to get in touch with an elder of the Blood Demon Society, hoping that the elder could help mediate.
Unfortunately, this elder did not have much of a relationship with Chen Wan'er, and was truly powerless to help.
Left with no other option, he had to contact Wenhu privately.
Wenhu is now enjoying immense prestige among the demon race.
Thanks to his relationship with Princess Muling, demons flocked to him seeking favors, and his status and prestige rose accordingly.
But Wenhu knew very well that everything he had now came from his good relationship with Princess Muling.
If you cross Princess Wood Spirit's line, all your glory and status will vanish in an instant.
He recalled the moment when he learned that his position as leader had been taken from him.
My heart was filled with anger and resentment, and I even had the thought of acting impulsively.
Fortunately, he managed to control himself in time and did not do anything rash.
Otherwise, the current miserable situation of the wolf clan would very well be the same fate he suffered back then.
Now, the wolf clan has sent someone to find him, offering very tempting benefits, which has put Wenhu in a dilemma.
Should he go and tell Princess Muling about this?
On the one hand, the benefits offered by the wolves were so tempting that he found it hard to refuse;
On the other hand, he was worried that his actions would anger Princess Wood Spirit, and that would be a loss for him.
Wenhu weighed the options repeatedly in his mind, but still found it difficult to make a decision.
Just as Wenhu was pacing back and forth in the room with a worried expression, the crow demon walked in.
The crow demon keenly sensed Wen Hu's unusual behavior, a hint of doubt flashing in its eyes, and then asked:
"Boss, what's wrong with you today? Why do you look so worried?"
Lately, by following you, I've been rising in status and living a very comfortable life.
But your condition is really making me very worried!
Wenhu raised his head, glanced at the crow demon, hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said:
"Sigh, it's all because of the wolf clan. They sent someone to me and offered me a lot of benefits."
They want me to ask Princess Wood Spirit to put in a good word for them so they can regain their eligibility to purchase Spirit Power Beads.
But as you know, the wolf clan offended Princess Wood Spirit before.
If I were to speak rashly and anger Her Highness the Princess, I'd be in deep trouble. This situation is truly putting me in a dilemma!
Upon hearing this, the crow demon's expression instantly turned serious.
His brows were furrowed, and a hint of worry was in his eyes.
After a moment of silence, the crow demon slowly spoke:
"Boss, you absolutely can't do this! You don't know, I went to the wolf clan with Princess back then."
That wolf clan, from top to bottom, from beginning to end, was constantly courting death.
Especially the Ninth Prince, whose arrogant and domineering manner showed no respect for the princess, was killed on the spot by her.
You didn't see it, but Her Highness was furious.
The wolf clan's current predicament is entirely of their own making.
If we go and provoke Her Highness at this time, we'll only anger her.
Then we'd all be in trouble too. I don't want to take that risk!
Wenhu's expression became even more conflicted after hearing what the crow demon said.
He shook his head helplessly and said:
"How could I not know the stakes involved?"
But the benefits offered by the wolf pack were just too tempting, and I was really tempted.
Furthermore, I was thinking that if I could help the wolf clan solve this problem, I might be able to establish a reputation for loyalty and righteousness among the demon clan.
The crow demon waved its hand hastily and raised its voice, saying:
"Boss, you mustn't be blinded by those benefits!"
Reputation is important, but what use is it if you lose your life?
We owe our current status and treatment entirely to Her Highness the Princess.
If we offend Her Highness the Princess over this, we'll lose everything. You must think this through!
