Chapter 101: The Wolf Cavalry

"Sis, don't push me. I'll give it proper thought later."

"Okay!"

The carriage fell silent for a moment.

"Sis."

"Hmm?" Seeing her cousin hesitate, Arola smiled and gave her a playful tap. "You're usually fearless and outspoken. When did you start struggling to finish a sentence?"

"Sis, then I'll say it."

"Go ahead!"

"How did it feel last night?"

"You little brat, are you trying to get yourself killed?" Arola's face flushed red. This girl really had no filter. What kind of girl asks about such private bedroom matters?

Actually, Niruis's face was just as flushed with shyness as her cousin's. But curiosity could kill a cat. As princesses, they were among the most noble girls in the beastmen. Though headstrong, their upbringing in such matters was strict. No one had ever explained the affairs between men and women to them. Before, they knew nothing. Now that her cousin had firsthand experience, Niruis, driven by curiosity, naturally wanted to ask about it... unfortunately, the little girl asked too directly.

Even though they usually shared everything, how could one easily speak of such things? Yet, this young Behemoth princess didn't know how to read the room. She grabbed Arola's hand and shook it insistently. "Please, tell me, tell me!"

"In your dreams!" Arola also blurted out a crude phrase. "Little girl, if you're so curious, go experience it with Brother Xu Feng yourself and you'll understand."

This time it was Niruis's turn to blush. She pouted and started tickling her cousin. Arola wouldn't just sit there and take it; she fought back. The two girls tussled together, their laughter carrying far from the carriage.

Xu Feng smiled. His two fiancées really got along well. Hmm, hopefully, with Xiaoya's persuasion, Niruis could behave a bit better. Gentleness was too much to hope for; he'd just be thankful to all the gods if she stopped opposing him at every turn.

As the bravest clan among the beastmen, the Behemoth King led his Force Legion stationed at the border, guarding the exit of the northern wilderness, facing off against humans from afar. From here to the Snake Clan's territory, even by carriage or horseback, it would take three days. Though it was a long journey, there was absolutely no fatigue or hardship from the journey itself. Both the Snake Clan and the Behemoth were among the Beast God Four Clans. The two young princesses were of such high status. Along the way, the beastmen they encountered were either flattering or bootlicking, doing their utmost to entertain them.

And Xu Feng was even more in the spotlight, attracting everyone's attention. His duel with Niruis had already made him famous throughout the Orc Kingdom. And having both young princesses in his arms had undoubtedly stirred up immense envy.

Men were jealous, while Xu Feng's handsomeness and eloquence also won cheers from many beastmen. In short, along this journey, his prominence even overshadowed that of the two young princesses.

"Hmph, so full of himself!" Seeing Xu Feng waving to the cheering beastmen, Niruis curled her lip.

"What's wrong, little girl, jealous?" Arola teased, looking at her cousin.

"Nonsense."

The Behemoth Clan's young princess quickly retorted. "Not at all. I just can't stand his smug look."

After a long talk with her cousin, over the past two days, the notoriously willful Princess Niruis had quieted down considerably. Although she still often picked small fights with Xu Feng, compared to before, she had clearly reined in her temper a lot. Perhaps... this was a good start.

The sun gradually sank behind the western mountains. They had covered more than half the journey to the Snake Clan territory. That evening, they arrived at a plain. The land ahead stretched flat and open, devoid of any signs of habitation. It seemed they would have to camp in the wild tonight.

"Let's rest here!"

"Yes, young master!"

The Behemoth Clan valued bravery and martial prowess. That battle had earned Xu Feng their respect. Moreover, he was now betrothed to Princess Niruis. The simple and honest Behemoths no longer treated him as an outsider.

The procession stopped to prepare camp. Xu Feng walked to the carriage, lifted the curtain, and very gentlemanly extended his hand.

Arola smiled slightly, holding her boyfriend's hand as she jumped down from the carriage. Niruis, however, shot him a sidelong glance. Who needs that? With a light, agile turn, the girl's movements were truly crisp and neat... just a bit disrespectful!

Xu Feng shook his head but didn't mind. Why argue with a girl? A real man should be magnanimous. Besides, this disobedient girl was still his fiancée. Hmph, one day, he'd make her behave obediently in front of him.

"Tired? Go rest over there for a while."

Xu Feng considerately took Arola's hand but deliberately ignored the Behemoth Clan's young princess. Magnanimity was one thing, but with girls, one couldn't just indulge them completely. Sometimes, it was necessary to give them a little cold shoulder!

"Ni'er, let's go!"

Arola, however, took her cousin's hand. She knew this girl was proud and arrogant, but she also didn't want her relationship with Brother Xu Feng to become too strained. She had to play the peacemaker.

She still had to give her cousin some face. Besides, after hearing her cousin's story with him, Niruis actually didn't dislike Xu Feng that much anymore now. It was just... she couldn't quite let go of her pride.

So Xu Feng held Arola's hand, and the Snake Clan's young princess held Niruis's hand. The three of them walked forward together. But just then, a strange sound reached their ears.

Dense as raindrops, continuously striking the earth, yet clearly not the sound of hooves. In the distance, a great cloud of dust rose. This was...

On the horizon, a faint shadow appeared. As time passed, it became clearer and clearer, imprinting itself into people's sight.

Furry faces, fangs glinting coldly, red-eyed Giant Wolves, and the fearsome riders upon them—Wolf Riders!

In this world, humans, beastmen, and elves formed a tripartite balance of power. Among them, the Orc Kingdom was a loose alliance of many clans. Naturally, the most powerful were the Fox, Behemoth, Snake Clan, and Mermaid—the legendary Beast God Four Clans.

Besides them, the Tiger Clan and Wolf Clan also possessed considerable strength. The bloodthirsty Wolf Riders could instill fear in any enemy. Judging from the rising dust, this troop of Wolf Riders numbered at least over three thousand.

Niruis's expression changed. Although the Behemoth and Wolf Clan had always been on good terms, it was very strange for the other party to appear here. As the saying goes, one must guard against others. Though this young princess was willful, she was still a smart girl. She immediately stepped forward. "Stop work! Prepare for battle!"

Roar!

The Behemoths responded with a resounding roar. Though vastly outnumbered, as the bravest clan among the beastmen, they showed no fear. The Behemoth warriors serving as guards this time numbered three hundred in total, one-sixth of whom were mammoth heavy cavalry. Fifty massive mammoths were positioned at the front, ready to meet the charge of the Wolf Riders.

However, the other party showed no hostile intent. They stopped at a distance of about fifty meters. The wolfmen dismounted their steeds and sheathed their blades.

"What do they want?"

Arola frowned. Xu Feng was also puzzled, deciding to wait and see.

Huan Yu: A new day, begging for recommendation votes. Esteemed readers, please move your noble little hands to support me. I'll work hard.
