Chapter 182 The Clan Chief Gives Gifts
Manager Hua bowed slightly to Chen Wan'er and the others with a respectful expression.
"Distinguished guests, please rest here for a while. I will go and invite the clan chief here."
"Please rest assured, everyone. Our Mandala Flower Clan has always valued morality and would never force you to stay."
Chen Wan'er and the others exchanged glances, realizing that they couldn't escape for the time being.
Let's stay and see what other tricks they have up their sleeves.
Just then, Steward Hua hurriedly left, and the little princess seized the opportunity.
He immediately stood up from the ground and walked quickly to Chen Wan'er.
Her eyes were filled with pleading, and she almost knelt down with a thud.
"Sister Chen, please, take me with you!"
The little princess's voice was trembling with tears as she said urgently:
"I have countless rare treasures in my collection, and I will offer them all to you with both hands, as long as you agree."
Moreover, you are new to the demon realm and unfamiliar with the place, so you desperately need a guide, and I am definitely the most suitable candidate.
"There's no place in the entire demon realm that I don't know. Wherever you want to go, I can lead the way."
Chen Wan'er quietly watched the little princess, her gaze sweeping across her face, but she did not immediately respond.
Seeing that Chen Wan'er remained silent, the little princess grew increasingly anxious and quickly said again:
"Sister Chen, I was blind to your greatness at first and misunderstood you."
I thought you were just a pretty face, all looks and no substance.
Chen Wan'er couldn't help but chuckle and teased, "You don't need to belittle yourself like that."
Hearing Chen Wan'er finally speak, the little princess felt like she had grasped a lifeline.
She hurriedly said, "Sister Chen is absolutely right. I am the one who is all show and no substance."
And you, sister, possess extraordinary strength, are a queen of unparalleled power, charm, and universal love.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to have mercy and take me with you on your adventures!"
With my title as the little princess of the Mandala Flower Clan, you will be able to proceed much more smoothly and save yourselves a lot of trouble.
If you don't trust me, I'm willing to swear an oath to Heaven.
To prove my sincerity, I will never do anything to harm you.
As soon as she finished speaking, the little princess did not hesitate and immediately began to make a vow to Heaven.
"As long as Sister Chen agrees to take me with her on this adventure, I promise to follow her lead in everything from now on."
Without a second thought, and without ever betraying or selling out them.
If I break this oath, may my entire Mandala Flower Clan suffer divine retribution.
Completely destroyed, with no chance of recovery.
The little princess speaks very quickly and fluently.
Without the slightest pause or hesitation, as if afraid that the slightest delay would arouse Chen Wan'er's suspicion.
Just then, the clan leader rushed over and happened to hear the last few words of the little princess's oath to Heaven.
His eyes widened in anger, his face flushed red, and he shouted angrily, "This is utter nonsense!"
Chen Wan'er also felt that she was being a bit ridiculous; if she was going to make a vow, then so be it.
Why doesn't she talk about herself? Instead, she makes the whole clan take the blame for her.
Hearing her father's angry roar, the little princess cleverly dodged and hid behind Chen Wan'er.
She knew in her heart that as long as she hid behind Chen Wan'er, her father's anger would have little effect on her.
Suppressing his anger, the clan chief looked at Chen Wan'er, cupped his hands, and said:
"Young friend, I am already aware of what just happened."
My little girl is naturally mischievous and has often offended me. It is truly my fault for not disciplining her strictly enough. I hope you will forgive her.
Chen Wan'er, with a polite smile on her face, waved her hand and said:
"No problem, no problem at all."
If she hadn't shown those skills just now, would her father have valued her so much?
The clan leader looked at Chen Wan'er with gentle eyes and asked:
"Young friend, you must have come to the demon realm for training, right?"
Chen Wan'er nodded slightly, her eyes filled with anticipation, quietly waiting for the clan leader to continue.
"To be honest, the situation of the demon race is not peaceful right now."
The clan chief frowned slightly and said with a solemn expression:
"The various demon clan forces often fight each other for scarce resources and territory, resulting in constant disputes."
Since you are all friends of Young Master Tang Xuan, if you don't mind, you might as well stay in my Mandala Flower Clan for the time being.
Here, you will all be well protected and have no worries about food and clothing.
At this point, the clan chief paused briefly, looking at Chen Wan'er with sincere eyes.
"Of course, if you are determined to leave, I will not force you."
Chen Wan'er thought to herself, it seems that this clan chief is a reasonable person, which makes things much easier.
She cleared her throat and said sincerely:
We are deeply grateful for the chieftain's kindness and appreciate it.
But as practitioners of Taoism, our aim is to refine ourselves.
How can one always hide under the wings of others, seeking protection?
We still plan to leave today, to rely on our own strength to venture out into the world, broaden our horizons, and gain experience.
After hearing Chen Wan'er's words, the clan leader couldn't help but show his appreciation.
He nodded slightly and clapped his hands lightly. Several demon servants carried several exquisite boxes and walked steadily forward.
"It's a good thing that young people are energetic and ambitious; they are truly a force to be reckoned with!"
The clan chief smiled broadly, his eyes filled with admiration.
"These boxes contain a small gift from my Mandala Flower Clan. It is nothing but a token of my respect, and I hope you will accept it with a smile."
Looking at the boxes, Chen Wan'er couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
Sending something out of the blue feels a bit suspicious.
As the saying goes, "Those who offer unsolicited kindness are either treacherous or thieves." Could there be some hidden secret behind this?
She quickly waved her hand, politely declining, saying, "The clan leader's hospitality is too kind of us."
As guests, we have already been impolite to visit without bringing a gift.
How could we possibly accept the clan chief's gift again? It would be utterly unreasonable.
"Young friend, there's no need to worry."
The clan chief waved his hand and said calmly:
"I also have a favor to ask, which is why I resorted to this tactic, so my friend doesn't need to feel guilty."
The little princess's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
He popped his head out from behind Chen Wan'er in an instant, his face full of excitement, and asked:
"Father, does this mean you agree to let me go out?"
"shut up!"
The clan chief glared at the little princess and said irritably:
"It's not a question of whether I agree or not, but whether my young friend is willing to take you along."
You are lazy and unambitious. Look at you, you are about the same age as your friend, but he has already cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, while you are only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
You still have the nerve to keep clamoring to go out and make your way in the world, without even considering your own capabilities.
No, you can't do that kind of praise and criticism nowadays!
Isn't this just making her the target of hatred?
Hehe, but Chen Wan'er likes it!
Looking at the boxes filled with treasures, he thought that with so many precious items, bringing the little princess along wouldn't be a bad idea.
After all, they were new to the demon realm and were indeed in need of a guide.
If they could have a sincere and honest person to guide them, that would be wonderful.
As for the fact that the little princess's cultivation level is low, it doesn't really matter, since we don't expect her to fight on the battlefield anyway.
