Insanely Pampered Wife: Divine Doctor Fifth Young Miss
chapter-356

“You’re right.” The Snow Wolf King said. “In the past, people would come in and we would fight with their contract beasts. But our powers were always greater than theirs.”

“How long ago was that, when people would come in?” Wei Zi Qi asked.

“I’ve forgotten, it was too long ago.” The Snow Wolf King said. “Although we do take a long time to grow in our rank, it means that the strength and power in our bodies is greater than those of other spirit beasts’.”

“So you’re already a divine beast. If you are not able to promote to a sacred beast, what will happen? Sima You Yue asked.

“I can feel that the power in my body has grown, but I will never be able to promote. As such, I am destined to forever be the same as all other spirit beasts. If I do not die in battle, then I will die by old age.” The Snow Wolf King said somewhat nonchalantly.

“Have you ever thought about leaving? So that you will not be subjected to the rules of this place and become a sacred beast, or perhaps an even higher ranking?” Wei Zi Qi said.

“Not really.” The Snow Wolf King said. “My ancestors had once said that when someone enters the place, we should think if a way to get out. But each time, the human beings just disappear in front of our eyes, and we have never found a way to use them as a way to leave.”

“Because of the restrictions from the laws?” Ouyang Fei asked.

“I think so.” The Snow Wolf King sighed.

“If you guys could leave, would you want to?”

“If it means having to form a contract with a human, then I would rather stay here forever.” The Snow Wolf King said resolutely. He had seen another form a contract with a human to leave. But if he had to do that, then he would rather remain where he was.

“What if it does not have to be a contract?” Sima You Yue said.

“You have a way?” The Snow Wolf King asked.

“There is a way, but it will require you to pay a price. After all, if you gain something you will have to sacrifice something else.” Sima You Yue said.

The Snow Wolf King stopped in his tracks, and looked at Sima You Yue to ask, “Then I will have to see if this sacrifice would be worthwhile.”

Sima You Yue knew that the snow wolves were a proud species, and now she had seen it for herself. She thought about how it would lower its head to propose an exchange for the stone skeleton flower, but it was definitely just for them to be able to save their High King.

“If it requires you to trade a short amount of freedom for an eternal state of freedom, would you consider that worthwhile?” Sima You Yue smiled, asking.

“A short time of restriction… How long do you mean?” The Snow Wolf King asked suspiciously.

“A hundred years.” Sima You Yue said. “If you can grow in your rank to become a sacred beast or whatever, a hundred years would just be a short portion of time in exchange for a longer amount of true freedom. And, I will not ask to much of you, only that when necessary that you lend a helping hand.”

The Snow Wolf?King looked at Halcyon. Indeed, she had a sacred beast, and they were really worth nothing much in her eyes.

“I will discuss this with my clan.” The Snow Wolf King said,

“That’s no problem. Anyway we will be staying here for a year.” Sima You Yue said. Following that, the Snow Wolf King never brought the topic up again, but just introduced the place to them as they walked around.

“It’s here.” The Snow Wolf King stopped walking, and pointed to a cave. He brought the group into the cave, and after they had passed through the passageway, they reached a spacious underground cavern. “This is the place.” The Snow Wolf King said.

Sima You Yue and the rest looked around them. As they entered the cavern, they could sense a thick and dense spirit energy. The spirit energies seemed to undergo some traction, and started to make their way to the lake.

“If you train here, you will definitely attain even better results for the amount of effort that is put in.” The Snow Wolf King said.

“Letting Zi Qi train here would definitely be good.” Sima You Yue said. “But for Fourth Brother, I don’t think this is ideal.”

Wei Zi Qi has some ice attributes, but Sima You Le only has fire attributes. This place was cold to the bone, and did not have much elements to develop fire.

“Do you need a place for fire attributes?” The Snow Wolf King asked.

“That’s right. Forth Brother and some of the others have fire attributes.” Sima You Yue said.

“I know where you can train fire attributes. It’s just opposite to where we are now.” The Snow Wolf King said.

“Where?”

“At the sabre-toothed tiger clan’s turf.” The Snow Wolf King said. “We are water and ice attributes, and they are fire attributes.”

“The sabre-toothed tigers? Your enemies? Are you asking us to sort out the sabre-toothed tigers on your behalf?” Sima You Yue squinted, saying.

The Snow Wolf King’s expression turned awkward for a second. How could the great and mighty snow wolves make a plan that relies on mere humans to destroy their enemy? What an embarrassing thing that would be!

“You need that place to train, so it would be a win for both of us.”

“I’ll consider it.” Sima You Yue said. “However, let’s settle the issue that you have here first. Bring us to see your High King.”

As the Snow Wolf King observed Sima You Yue, he remained unsure about what was crossing through her mind, so he said nothing, but brought them out of the cave. As they left, they countered a huge pack of wolves at its entrance.

“Our King.” As they saw the Snow Wolf King, all the other wolves bowed in respect.

“Even you have been alerted.” The Snow Wolf King looked at the elder wolves. Seeing that he was also treating them with respect, it seems that these elder wolves were of high positions as well.

“Yes. When we heard what had happened, we could not help but make an appearance.” The head of the elder pack said.

“Mmhm. I also have something I would like to discuss with you.” The Snow Wolf King said. “Let us go and save Firmament.”

Sima You Yue and the rest followed the Snow Wolf King and the rest to cross over to a summit that was rather close by. At the summit was a case made of crystal.

“This is where our High King is.” The Snow Wolf King said, pointing at the crystal case. As Sima You Yue looked closely, she noted that it was not a coffin, their High King, Firmament, who had been encased in a block of ice.

“What are you going to do?” Sima You Yue asked.

“We plan to remove the seal, and then administer the flower and other prepared medication on him.” the Snow Wolf King said.

“If you just give him the medicine like that, it might not be that effective.” Sima You Yue said.

“I know, but we have no way to refine pills for him, so we can only count on this way to give him the medicine.” The Snow Wolf King said.

“I can help you to refine a pill for injuries.” Sima You Yue offered.

“Really?” The Snow Wolf King looked at Sima You Yue. “You’re an alchemist?”

“That’s right.” Sima You Yue said. “I can look at your ingredients, and then make pills based on that.”

The Snow Wolf King looked at the elder wolves, and communicated to them in their language, before turning to Sima You Yue, replying. “Alright.”

As such, everyone started to turn around, and the wolves brought them to where their medical supplies were kept. But this time, only Sima You Yue and Halcyon went, and the rest went to another place to rest. As Sima You Yue looked at the supplies that the wolves had, she was extremely surprised. They had many ingredients that even the spirit pagoda did not have. They had just put all the precious ingredients together mindlessly. Some of that had even been gnawed on by the younger wolves, and was thrown to the side in half.
