Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law
Chapter 577 - 577 Sky Wolf Strikes!
Damn it, what the hell is this mess!
Not bothering with Shangguan Wan'er who had fallen into the bathtub, Jiang Feng stepped out, still seething, and grabbed a towel to dry himself.
Luckily, it's summer, so it won't take long for his wet body to dry off, but the lingering floral scent and Shangguan Wan'er's fragrance made him uncomfortable.
Shangguan Wan'er blushed, quickly tidied her clothes, and stood up from the bathtub.
She glared at Jiang Feng, unsure what to say, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"Nothing good ever happens when I run into you!" Jiang Feng shot a cold look at Shangguan Wan'er and said.
"How's this my fault? I didn't know Aunt Lan would come!"
Shangguan Wan'er defended herself, placing her hands on her hips, feeling wronged and glaring at Jiang Feng as if he had taken advantage when she'd clearly suffered!
Jiang Feng initially wanted to scold her but seeing Shangguan Wan'er completely drenched, her clothes clinging to her, he turned his gaze away, cursing his bad luck!
Following Jiang Feng's gaze, Shangguan Wan'er quickly realized her own predicament and exited the bathtub barefoot. She dried herself quickly and put on clean clothes.
Unfortunately, she didn't have any men's clothes there to offer Jiang Feng a change. Seeing Jiang Feng drenched made her feel a bit apologetic.
"Jiang Feng, did you hear what Aunt Lan just said?"
"What?" Jiang Feng feigned ignorance.
"She expressed her apologies to you, repenting for her previous wrong decisions. You can feel her sincerity, can't you?" Shangguan Wan'er asked, staring at Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng let out a cold laugh: "Would she repent if I wasn't tough and my power exceeded her expectations?"
"You..." Shangguan Wan'er was left speechless but quickly added, "Aunt Lan did it for my good before. If she had another choice, she wouldn't have arranged it that way. She now realizes her mistake. Surely, you're giving her a chance to make amends, right?"
"If hindsight were beneficial, then everyone could make mistakes without worry." Jiang Feng sneered, "But don't worry. I'll handle the Sky Wolf Alliance. They're also my enemies, and I promised Dong Ruyan I'd return the favor!"
"Ruyan?" Shangguan Wan'er was taken aback, not expecting another "deal" between Jiang Feng and Dong Ruyan!
Just as she was about to inquire, they heard hurried footsteps outside the room, but this time it wasn't Kong Guyoulan—it was Dong Ruyan!
Shangguan Wan'er frowned slightly. Speak of the devil, no sooner had they mentioned Dong Ruyan than she appeared!
At that moment, Dong Ruyan stormed in, rushing toward the inner chamber, shouting urgently, "Mistress, something's wrong!"
Hmm?
As she entered the inner chamber, Dong Ruyan was startled to see Jiang Feng soaking wet, clearly surprised, and then looked toward Shangguan Wan'er.
"Ruyan, what's got you so panicked?" Shangguan Wan'er asked, feigning calmness.
Fortunately, she had already dressed by then, preventing Dong Ruyan from noticing any slip.
Dong Ruyan was full of suspicion but knew it was not the time for questioning and said, catching her breath, "Mistress, bad news! The Sky Wolf Alliance is here again!"
"What?" Shangguan Wan'er was suddenly taken aback!
She knew that for the usually composed Dong Ruyan to be so flustered, something big must have happened. She hadn't expected a Sky Wolf invasion!!
"When I brought this guy to the island earlier, the Sky Wolf coincidentally invaded the headquarters, and the Fox Master personally led the defense!" Dong Ruyan said solemnly, "On my way here, I saw Aunt Lan urgently rushing over. The Fox Master has already fought the Sky Wolf's Fourth Master but is at a disadvantage..."
"Is mother's injury acting up again?" Shangguan Wan'er asked anxiously.
"Yes! The Fox Master's injury hasn't healed, and facing the opponent's formidable Fourth Master, she couldn't withstand it..." Dong Ruyan finished bitterly and then said to Jiang Feng, "Jiang Feng, it's time to fulfill your promise. You must do what you promised me!"
Jiang Feng, expressionless, directly left the inner chamber.
"Hey! You..."
Shangguan Wan'er and Dong Ruyan exchanged a glance and hastily followed.
...
At this time, at the forefront of the Demon Moon Headquarters island, nearly a hundred men, led by the Sky Wolf Alliance's Fourth Master, Mad Wolf, were pressing against the retreating Demon Moon Alliance members relentlessly!
These female assassins of the Demon Moon Alliance, like caged birds, were trapped together. Though furious, they felt helpless.
The trio Chun Zhiyao, Xia Qinya, and Qiu Miaomiao supported the injured Demoness. Kong Guyoulan and the five protectors, who'd arrived late, all stood indignantly by the Demoness's side, glaring angrily at Mad Wolf!
The Demoness had just fought Mad Wolf, but as Dong Ruyan said, she was not his match!
During her previous battle with the Winged Tiger Alliance's old patriarch, the Demoness got injured, and she still hadn't fully recovered.
And this Fourth Master of the Sky Wolf Alliance, Mad Wolf, despite being only the fourth in rank, had power reaching above the late-stage Maestro Level.
Such a realm is on par with an elder of the Winged Tiger Alliance, and given the Demoness's severe injuries, she naturally couldn't be his match!
"Demoness, stop trying to toast me with a drink, can't you see your predicament? Hahaha, your best choice is to lead your people to surrender to us; otherwise, I'll have to be ruthless and suppress you brutally!" Mad Wolf laughed arrogantly at the Demoness.
"In your dreams! You think the Demon Moon Alliance will submit? Wishful thinking!" The Demoness, with a face full of frost, retorted angrily!
Mad Wolf laughed heartily: "Still planning to resist? Haven't you suffered enough? Demoness, I advise you to see reality. The Demon Moon Alliance's glory days are over! Being annexed by our Sky Wolf Alliance is your fortune; otherwise, you'll end up as someone else's slaves, subjected to even more cruel abuse!"
"Mad Wolf, our Demon Moon Alliance isn't for the weak, don't underestimate us. Your endless greed will only lead you to pay a heavy price!" The Demoness said through gritted teeth, glaring at Mad Wolf.
"Hahaha! Demoness, are you trying to make me laugh? Look at your Demon Moon Alliance; these people are all young beauties. Is this what assassins are supposed to be? Women are born to serve men! If you return to our alliance and willingly serve us, making us happy, we naturally won't mistreat you. Otherwise, if you're hellbent on toasting me with a drink, it'll be too late to regret it!
Mad Wolf sneered at the Demoness, speaking with utter disregard!
