The battle of conquest!_3 The good news was that Yan Yan had not appeared at all; the entire Silver Wolf Legion seemed to have been under Yan Shuang’s control all along.
The bad news was that regardless of whether she was once Yan Nai’er, she was now Yan Shuang, a composed, resolute woman who kept others at a great distance.
Her will and her spirit had grown as formidable as her martial arts, solid as a thousand zhang of glacial ice.
Conquering such a woman was assuredly as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
“Did you just see Fen Mo leave?” Yan Shuang asked.
“Yes,” Suo Lun replied.
Yan Shuang said, “I also asked him why he came to the Silver Wolf Legion, and he was straightforward—he came for me, to marry me.
Do you know how I replied to him?”
“I don’t,” Suo Lun replied.
“I said, I would give him a chance,” Yan Shuang declared.
At this, Suo Lun was suddenly taken aback, not expecting such an answer from her.
Yan Shuang asked, “Do you know who spread the rumor that I am to marry and seek a husband, and also make him the next Wolf King?”
Suo Lun replied, “Was it your esteemed father?”
“It wasn’t my father, it was me,” Yan Shuang said.
“I’m not young anymore, I need to marry and have children.
Moreover, I need a man strong enough to help me control the Silver Wolf Legion, and I will indeed keep my promise.
Once I marry a man, he will become the new Wolf King, and I will retire behind the scenes.”
At that moment, Suo Lun was truly shocked.
This woman spoke so directly about her life’s great matter, without a hint of shyness or even the slightest emotional fluctuation.
“Over this period, I have tested many men, no less than several Light Dragon Warriors,” Yan Shuang continued.
“But the results have been deeply disappointing.
The man I marry must not only be highly skilled in martial arts but also possess supreme intelligence and magnanimity.
So, regardless of whether you came for me or not, I am giving you the same chance.”
In an instant, Suo Lun was nearly at a loss for words.
Yan Shuang continued, “The beard on your face and the deliberately yellowed complexion cannot hide your age.
You might indeed be very ugly, but you are definitely not older than twenty-one.
You may not know that men of different ages emanate distinctly different energy and spiritual auras.”
Suo Lun, once again, had no words to offer.
“Your martial arts skills are very weak now, even weaker than Fen Mo’s,” Yan Shuang observed.
“But it does not matter, as you can become stronger later.
Every time we go into battle, I will bring a candidate to test their temperament, wisdom, and will.
In five days, I will lead an attack.
I will choose either you or Fen Mo to accompany me.”
Upon hearing these words, Suo Lun’s heart skipped a beat.
“Each man is given only one chance to pass the test.
Whoever passes the final test, I will marry,” Yan Shuang declared.
“Tell me, between you and Fen Mo, whom should I bring into battle?”
Yan Shuang stared into his eyes and said, “You, indeed came for me.”
Suo Lun looked down and said, “Yes!”
He really wanted to curse inside.
What on earth had Yan Shuang gone through?
How had she transformed so powerfully, especially her spiritual power, which completely left one nowhere to hide?
Because as soon as you tell a lie, the spiritual energy released by your body would fluctuate and she would capture it.
“Coming for me, what’s so unspeakable about that?” Yan Shuang asked.
“My beauty and figure are unmatched in the world; it’s only natural for a man to lust.
Not to mention, marrying me grants command of a powerful army.”
Once again, Suo Lun had no words to offer.
He realized that in some ways, he really couldn’t handle this woman—she was too strong.
She kept saying she would give everyone a chance, but in reality, she was like an ice mountain towering a thousand zhang high, looking down upon them with an aloofness that truly made people hesitate to approach.
Indeed, conquering such a woman seemed as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
And yet, Suo Lun had no way out.
Her words were very clear: whoever married her would become the new Wolf King and automatically command this mightiest mercenary legion.
“Between you and Fen Mo, I will choose only one,” Yan Shuang said.
“Because a Silver Wolf Legion probably cannot accommodate two Dragon Archers.
Fen Mo has also said, where there is you, there is no him.”
Suo Lun nodded and replied, “And where there is him, there is no me.”
“That’s it then,” Yan Shuang said.
“So, I am giving the same task to you and Fen Mo.
Whoever completes it first will come out on top and will be my next target of evaluation.”
“What is the task?” Suo Lun asked.

I beg for monthly tickets and support.
I’m going to drink something to invigorate myself, and I will write another chapter tonight to ensure an earlier update tomorrow.
