Chapter 291 - 178: Shortsword and Treasure Map
“Rejected again!”
Though the situation was slightly better than last time, not immediately rejected, the outcome did not change.
Initially, he thought about seeing what bothered the Green Wolf Demon King in his premonition first; if he could accomplish it, he would perform the task; if not, he would give up.
Now, he was stuck at the first step.
“Seemingly, I need to find a reason that will catch the Green Wolf Demon King’s attention.”
“Since the Green Wolf Demon King is the sister of the Great Princess, I may start from the Great Princess,” Su Nan speculated.
The disappearance of the Great Princess was well-known among the demon clans in Tianyun County. He could use this to possibly grab the Green Wolf Demon King’s attention.
[You transformed into the appearance of a Wolf Demon and knocked on the door of the Li Mansion. Soon an old man opened the courtyard gate.]
[You directly tell the old man that you have information related to the Skywolf Clan Princess.]
[Hearing your words, the old man’s eyes lit up with delight, swiftly inviting you into the courtyard.]
“Finally got in.”
Su Nan sighed with relief. The first step was successful. As for what followed, he needed to figure out how to get the Green Wolf Demon King to reveal her worries.
[Following the old man to a small courtyard, you noticed the Green Wolf Demon King, clad in white, sitting in contemplation while sipping tea.]
[The Green Wolf Demon King glanced at you, instructing you to spill everything you knew about the Great Princess.]
[You didn’t tell the truth, instead informing them that after the Great Princess was severely injured by a powerful person from the Dianxing Sect, she returned to Sky Wolf Valley. However, she faced a demon beast and after the huge battle, she vanished in the Sky Wolf Valley.]
[Hearing your message, the Green Wolf Demon King was disappointed and without saying much, had the old man escort you out.]
[Naturally, you did not want to leave. You asked directly if Green Wolf had any problems and declared your willingness to help resolve them.]
[The Green Wolf Demon King ignored you, and you were forcibly grasped by the elderly and dragged out of the small courtyard. You refused to leave empty-handed, breaking free from the constraints of the old man.]
[Your actions finally angered the Green Wolf Demon King. On being attacked by her, you passed out.]
[Three minutes later, you woke up in a small river. The frigid water made you snap wide awake instantly.]
[End of first prediction, continue?]
“Well, I’ve managed to meet the Green Wolf Demon King, but it’s still impossible to know what troubles her.”
“So the task isn’t about helping Green Wolf Demon King to resolve a problem, it’s clearly about me being an errand boy!”
He was having a tough time with this errand boy thing, in fact, for the first time in his life.
The most outrageous part was that the other party did not even need his help.
“For the Demon Power, it’s worth it.” Su Nan consoled himself.
Once the premonition cooldown was over, he began predicting again.
[Hearing your information, the Green Wolf Demon King remained expressionless without saying much, directly having the old man escort you out.]
[Naturally, you did not want to leave. You immediately told the Green Wolf Demon King that Hu Xiaotian knew about her troubles was specially sent to assist her.]
[The Green Wolf Demon King, surprised, asked you how Hu Xiaotian found out. Knowing that any answer would give you away, you chose not to answer this question.]
[The Green Wolf Demon King gave you a deep, thoughtful look. After pondering for a moment, she admitted that she had been worried about something recently.]
“It worked!”
Joy flashed in Su Nan’s eyes.
Apparently, mentioning Hu Xiaotian at that crucial moment was effective.
[Three minutes later, you found out that the Green Wolf Demon King and her sister, the Skywolf Clan Princess, had a special senses, enabling them to detect each other’s presence within a particular range.]
[Not long ago, the Green Wolf Demon King sensed her sister’s presence near Tianyun City. However, it was so faint to the point of being ambiguous that the Green Wolf Demon King could not ascertain her sister’s exact location.]
[Moreover, the sense was intermittent, not continuous, as if the Great Princess was alternating between approaching Tianyun City and leaving. This left the Green Wolf Demon King puzzled.]
[The Green Wolf Demon King suspected that her sister might be in trouble, trapped somewhere and in danger.]
[End of second prediction, continue?]
“This is related to the Great Princess!”
“The Green Wolf Demon King can sense the Great Princess near Tianyun City!”
Su Nan was taken aback for a moment. He was relieved that he had not shown the Great Princess since he arrived in Tianyun City, or it would have been troublesome.
Obviously, the Cosmic Ring blocked the senses between the Green Wolf Demon King and the Great Princess.
While the Green Wolf Demon King’s intermittent senses might were likely due to his leaving Tianyun City, or because he logged off the game.
“Good thing this task came up, or else the next time I unknowingly let out the Great Princess, I would probably not know how I died.”
Su Nan felt fortunate.
Looking at the task, without a second thought, he turned around and left.
He decisively gave up this Three-star Task.
“Drunken Wind Pavilion”
Walking down the street, a tavern ahead caught Su Nan’s attention. He instantaneously thought of the shortsword he had on him.
Qian Yu posted on the forum to meet him, appointing this place as the rendezvous point.
The Drunken Wind Pavilion used to be Bear Rock’s lair, but now it was his territory.
“Just in time, let’s see what secret that shortsword holds.”
Su Nan’s mind raced, turning to his precognition..
