Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 437 - 4: The Affectionate Father (Part 4)

"Little girl, it’s very dangerous here, you can’t play around. Where do you live? Let brother take you home, okay?" Li Shuhui said gently.

Li Shuning was momentarily stunned, thought about the plot, and understood in her heart.

She laughed, and this smile softened Li Shuhui’s expression even more.

"Second brother, no need, I’m cultivating here."

Li Shuhui was dumbfounded, calling him second brother?

Looking closely, indeed, her eyes resembled their mother’s.

Li Shuhui ruffled Li Shuning’s hair: "So it is my little sister. Xiaoqin told me mother was pregnant before, I didn’t expect you’ve grown so fast already."

Xiaoqin was Li Shuhui’s maid.

"But little sister, it’s very dangerous here. You have to stay away a bit. If you fall in, you’ll disappear. The clan has tested this."

Li Shuning was momentarily stunned, she really didn’t know this.

However, Li Shuning wasn’t unwise, she retreated many steps before sitting down to cultivate again.

Li Shuhui, seeing this, smiled and also sat down to cultivate.

Afterward, the two continued like this, each cultivating but still paying attention to each other.

On this day, Li Shuwei came to find Li Shuning. Seeing Li Shuhui, he smiled and stepped forward to greet him.

The two seemed to have a good relationship.

Li Shuwei came to call Li Shuning because the White Wolf Clan had an honored guest, and naturally, Li Longyun wanted all the children to go over.

Seeing the three of them coming together, Li Longyun’s face turned somewhat sullen, this was the last thing he wanted to see.

What if those two bastards bullied his son?

If Li Shuning knew his thoughts, she would have been half-dead with anger. What nonsense.

Everyone stood for a while, and then a group of people arrived.

They were from the Human Clan.

The Human Clan and the Demon Clan, although competitive, had a relatively harmonious relationship compared to the Demon Clan.

This time the Human Clan came, they had some matters to discuss with the White Wolf Clan.

Leading the group was a Venerable.

The Venerable was equivalent to someone in the late stage of the Great Demon King’s cultivation.

Among humans, there was also a Saint.

However, there was only one Saint, and he hadn’t appeared for many years.

Even a genius like the old clan leader was only at the late stage of the Great Demon King.

On the side of the Demon Clan, there were many in the late stage of the Great Demon King, but none in the peak period of the Great Demon King.

Li Shuning watched ahead with interest, while Li Longyun’s expression was somewhat ridiculous.

The kind of expression that seemed to expect, to confide, to be close, was disgusting. If you despise the Wolf Clan so much, then leave. Why still give him a second glance?

Now that the Human Clan was here, he must be excited. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

When he was a poor scholar, he used to curse those cultivators every day. Now that he has cultivation, he wants to crawl at their feet.

The old clan leader asked blandly: "Venerable Zhuang, coming from afar is truly tiring. I wonder, what do you aim to do this time?"

Venerable Zhuang smiled: "Old clan leader, this time I’ve come with good news; both sides can benefit."

The old clan leader remained noncommittal and said nothing.

In his mind, there was no way the wolves of the White Wolf Clan could compare to humans. Humans were too smart and too cunning.

Working with them, one had to be constantly vigilant, it’s too tiring. Truthfully, cooperating with humans involves huge risks.

Li Longyun at this time smiled and complimented Venerable Zhuang, making Venerable Zhuang a bit taken aback.

After all, Venerable Zhuang was just an ordinary Venerable. Coming this time, he had no confidence.

Li Shuning, however, knew that Li Longyun considered himself human and liked to be close to humans.

With Li Longyun in this matter, the cooperation ultimately happened, and this was the reason the Demon Clan targeted the old clan leader a few years later.

Because the content of the cooperation nearly drove the Demon Clan to madness.

Li Shuning would not let things happen again.

If otherwise, once the old clan leader left, with her power not rising, allowing Li Longyun to seek his own death, everyone would end up dead.

This time, Venerable Zhuang brought quite a few people, and Li Longyun let Li Shuwei take the youngsters out for a stroll. However, the important matters were only attended by the old clan leader, the clan leader, and that Venerable Zhuang.

Li Shuning gritted her teeth, climbed onto the old clan leader’s leg, clinging to it.

From afar, it seemed like a pendant was hanging on his leg.

Li Shuning blushed, she’d never done such a thing, but there was no other way. She had to do this if she wanted to hear something useful.

Li Longyun was furious: "Yang Tiantian, how are you watching the child, quickly take the child away."

Yang Tiantian was somewhat embarrassed. In front of honored guests, Li Longyun gave her no face at all, making her quite uncomfortable.

Li Shuning hung her head, a sharp light flickering in her eyes.

The old clan leader frowned, in the past few years, he always felt something was odd about his son. Several attempts to probe had found nothing, yet his heart really wasn’t settled.

Where did it go wrong?

Everything was fine before, his son was also his pride. It seemed after he returned injured, he became a bit "rebellious." Was it because he oppressed him too heavily?

"Longyun, children don’t understand. Shuning has always stayed with me, sticking close to me. What’s wrong with that? Enough, let’s go."

After speaking, the old clan leader picked up Li Shuning and headed directly towards the council hall.

Now Li Longyun felt a bit awkward, being rebuked by his father on the spot was quite embarrassing.

He secretly remembered this, he would repay it in the future. He truly didn’t like this daughter.

Venerable Zhuang was also surprised, the clan leader’s behavior seemed a bit... It always felt a bit odd, scolding his wife in front of guests, having no dignity a clan leader should have.

Once everyone sat down, Venerable Zhuang said: "Old clan leader, have you ever heard of the Black Jade Lotus Seed?"

The old clan leader was momentarily stunned, then his face changed: "You didn’t come this time to ask us to help get Black Jade Lotus Seeds, did you?"

Venerable Zhuang smiled: "Old clan leader, we’ve received news that in a treasure land, there are six Black Jade Lotus Seeds. If you’re willing to help, we can split the items evenly after obtaining them. How about it?"

"You should know that only we know the location, old clan leader. Just by helping to get them, you’ll get half."

The old clan leader remained silent, the temptation of Black Jade Lotus Seeds was indeed great.

Black Jade Lotus Seeds are an important medicinal lead in elixir pills; a Venerable who consumes them is very likely to touch the Saint Realm.

And a Great Demon King like the old clan leader could also touch the Great Perfection Realm.

Once touched, someday, reaching Great Perfection is possible.

Not being tempted was impossible, the old clan leader had given up the clan leader’s position to spend more time on cultivation. If reaching the Great Perfection Realm, he could protect the White Wolf Clan for a longer time.

Li Shuning knew, however, that although the Black Jade Lotus Seeds were obtained, the old clan leader ultimately did not use them, letting Li Longyun benefit in vain. In the end, the old clan leader ended up with such a fate, with no benefit from this cooperation at all.

PS: Worked overtime again, only got home at 9:30 PM, sigh...
