Chapter 312: Episode 29.3 Passionate Speech

Standing before the awaiting crowd, Bai Tingfeng flashed a small, polite smile before starting his speech.

"Thank you so much for your applause. You all watched the video of what happened in the Newtian Marsh so I am going to drop the embellishments about the killing of the Eight-Headed Hydra and let me say what I honestly thought at that time: I think I’ll be dead."

Bai Tingfeng said as an introduction and earned smiles from his fellow hunters in the banquet hall.

Shen Yuan even laughed loudly because this was far from the usual stiff and conversationally inept Bai Tingfeng he used to tease.

"I am not joking" Bai Tingfeng continued astutely. "You can ask the Hunter Association agents and Baihu Guild’s hunter who were with me that day, and they will all agree that we died more than a hundred times in that dungeon."

"The Eight-Headed Hydra, as tricky as it looks, has eight ways to make a human body disappear in just a split second. Just a single misstep on our part, and we would either turn into dust, ash, or even a sticky red goo. We will not even know how we died until we turn into something that used to be human. That monster’s neck and body? They are a legitimate weapon in its own right. Its body’s density is enough to crush and hit people with a force capable of breaking every bone in the human body. The thick scale that covers the Eight-Headed Hydra makes it impervious to physical and magic attacks of awakeners levelled A-class and below," Bai Tingfeng slowly took a step approaching the banquet guests.

At that moment, no one can resist looking at him. Alphas, betas, and omegas, everyone is helplessly attracted to him— and it was not even in a sexual sense.

"The power of this guy..." Shen Yuan can’t help but murmur. He can understand the admiration and awe for his husband.

Before Bai Tingfeng becomes his spouse, he is the crowned male lead of the manhua, Their S-class Affairs. The ability to attract attention was innate.

That’s his all-natural cheat.

If he wants to, he can be an effective public speaker who surpasses even those who received training from childhood to be politicians!

Shen Yuan’s eyes sparkled as he continued listening.

But suddenly, the atmosphere turned a little colder.

"In that description, add a little insanity into the monster’s temperament. Do you still think that I am joking when I say that I and everyone else in the dungeon died hundreds of deaths?"

Everyone was silent and full of solemnity.

"With me standing here now, I can understand how cool it must be to say that I survived a legendary-level abomination. That I single-handedly killed the Eight-Headed Hydra." Bai Tingfeng strongly delivered his every word.

It was as if he was subtly hinting how his feat got magnified more than it should be.

It made Prime Minister Mo’s expression fluctuate slightly while Chairman Mao gave a satisfied nod.

"As a swordsman, that final stroke was indeed impressive. I will not lie about that. However, as a hunter, I want my fellow hunters to focus on something else. Let’s look at the people in the video."

Bai Tingfeng pointed at the empty air behind where the prime minister’s projection screen used to hover. That passionate action—albeit it points to nothing— grabbed everyone’s hearts in the banquet hall. The listener’s heart was pounding. They are anticipating Bai Tingfeng’s words.

Bai Tingfeng did not disappoint and continued pouring his heart out, "All those people came home safe and sound. They are the same people who thought Newtian Marsh would be their graveyard. Yet now, they are back to their family and in great condition to carry on with their jobs. They are alive to tell the tale of the Eight-Headed Hydras."

Having families mentioned, the guests all instinctively felt soft. Everyone here has a family of their own. Each time they enter the dungeon, they all have a silent prayer: to go home safely to their family.

They felt a little envious of the surviving members of Bai Tingfeng’s team.

"Bai Tingfeng did well," One foreign hunter commented.

Bai Tingfeng must have heard it because his next words were a direct answer to that statement.

"No, it wasn’t thanks to me. There’s someone who hasn’t received their rightful recognition for their contribution to our success. He is the reason why we successfully thwarted the diabolic plans of the terrorists behind the recent attacks."

Bai Tingfeng paused and looked at his husband. "It was my husband, Shen Yuan, who made our survival. His presence has been there with us even at the start of our exploration. The powerful talismans seen protecting my hunters and Hunter Association’s agent against the lightning-charged bellows and poisonous breath of the Hydra? Those are all his handiwork, and he gave it all for free. Believe it or not, the talismans gave us enough buffer time that prolonged our survivability."

"And when Shen Yuan finally arrived, he took us out to the clutches of death." Bai Tingfeng said smiling softly.

"He readily healed the poisoned hunters and agents the exact second his feet touched the dungeon ground. He was willing to brave danger and fight the S-class boss monster despite being tired from fighting a powerful S-class necromancer."

"My husband, he..." The alpha sighed.

"Made me become the best version of myself by unconditionally believing in me. I always hear people say that my husband was lucky when he married me. But in reality, it was the other way around. I got myself a sweet deal when I got someone like Shen Yuan as my husband. You don’t know the lengths I am willing to go just to keep him by my side."

At that moment, Shen Yuan’s heart skipped a beat. And so did the other omegas who were hearing it.

"Oh my god! This is the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen!"

"Where can I get someone like him?"

The celestial fox spirit mentally fondled his nine tails. Yes, his Bai Tingfeng is the sweetest and he’s all his now, sisters and brothers! Shen Yuan wore a triumphant smile to match his racing heart.

When Bai Tingfeng’s gaze landed on him, Shen Yuan secretly bulged one side of his cheeks, saying: Get ready to get blown away once we are alone later!

Bai Tingfeng nearly choked at his Shen Yuan’s naughtiness.

But of course, not everyone was elated to hear heartfelt words from Bai Tingfeng.

In one corner of the banquet hall, Mo Zhu silently retreated and ran away with tears streaming from his face.

Overwhelmed by everyone’s reaction, Bai Tingfeng awkwardly cleared his throat, "I apologize for being corny. Anyway, the main point of my speech was that the slaying of the Eight-Headed Hydra was group work. Without my Shen Yuan, my guild’s hunters and agents from the Hunter Association, I doubt I would have ever had a chance to deliver the final blow."

The representative hunters from different heard this and were thoughtful about it. They all felt that they had a review of the basics of being a hunter and it highlighted the important aspect that powerful hunters often forgot: teamwork.

"Cooperation goes a long way in achieving great things and ensuring our survival. Now, if there’s anything or anyone that threatens our peace, my opinion is that let’s all bond together to stop them. That is the right way..."

Bai Tingfeng immediately put down the microphone. Before anyone could even react to the end of his powerful speech, he immediately handed it to Chairman Mao.

"Nice speech. It was a pleasant surprise," The chairman complimented Bai Tingfeng.

"Thanks, Chairman Mao."

"Great job out there," Prime Minister Mo swiftly held Bai Tingfeng’s hands, shaking them.

"I’m sorry if I seemed to forget to mention your husband. It was not intentional at all. I just thought that since the people are more interested in the Eight-Headed Hydra, it would be more impactful if the focus was on you."

Bai Tingfeng made a sour smile and whispered, "Well, we were told this banquet was also a way to make allies with other countries against the presence of the Cardinals. In my respectful opinion, if we want to achieve that, then we must show our strongest cards— and that includes my husband who sent two S-class terrorists to prison."

Call it fate or impeccable timing, this is the moment that the guests finally snapped from their trance and gave a loud round of applause.

Chairman Mao and Mo Lihua felt awkward.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mo flashed a graceful smile, "What a brilliant idea! I will take note of that."

Bai Tingfeng did a noncommittal nod. He doesn’t believe those words.

Mo Lihua also made a perfunctory compliment, and Bai Tingfeng responded to her with a hum.

The tension between them is still obvious.

It shows in the few pictures of this brief exchange.

With the dreadful speech finally done, Bai Tingfeng returned to his seat where Shen Yuan was waiting with a wide, excited smile.

"You now know how to talk."

"I knew a thing or two about public speaking, but I must admit. I didn’t expect that pouring my heart out made me look more competent than I actually am."

Bai Tingfeng’s eyes sparkled. "So, how was it?"

Shen Yuan coquettishly leaned into the alpha’s ear and whispered, "You just made me hot and bothered. Shall I take you out tonight?"

Bai Tingfeng laughed deliciously. Guess his performance made someone’s heart flutter.
