Chapter 1088: 493: Cultivation at lightning speed! Secret meeting with the Chieftain’s daughter!

"I wonder how my foster father is doing. Did he manage to capture a Gryphon?" Dina sighed and said, "During the days my foster father has been away, Du Yan took over the military power of the Foreign Tribe Army. Constantine deliberately supported him, increasing the daily allotment of meat and food by thirty percent, and everything is incredibly fresh. Now the entire Foreign Tribe Army is praising Du Yan for his abilities."

Lanling indeed felt a hint of wonder in his heart; Constantine was nothing like a Chieftain of the Barbarian Tribe. He seemed more like a high-ranking noble of the Human Kingdom, with his deep scheming and endless small tactics.

Dina said, "You need to grow stronger quickly, establish your prestige within the army, and make sure you don’t get overshadowed by Du Yan."

Lanling was startled and said, "What, you’re supporting me to inherit my uncle’s position?"

"Of course!" Dina said, "Even though you’re a scoundrel, you’re not the kind of scoundrel who forgets gratitude."

With that, Dina cast Lanling a fierce glare.

This scoundrel sneaked around every day for his illicit affairs and went further and further with his debauchery, overturning all his previous notions about matters between men and women.

"You’re even fairer today," Lanling said casually.

Dina’s cheeks reddened again. It had been four days since she stopped taking medicine, and her skin tone was gradually returning to its natural color.

"Lanling, you’d better not underestimate Du Yan. His martial arts skill surpasses mine by a significant margin." Lanling said, "If you wish to inherit my foster father’s position and take command of the Foreign Tribe Army, you must not only surpass him in martial arts but also in prestige and military accomplishments. We Demon Clan People don’t care about supposed intelligence; we only recognize visible results."

"I understand!" Lanling replied.

Dina said, "If Du Yan ends up in command of the Foreign Tribe Army, he’ll undoubtedly treat it as his dowry and marry it off to Nini’an, using it as the capital for his path to wealth and prosperity. If you were to take command, what would you do?"

Lanling replied, "I’d seize opportunities to break away and declare independence, recruit displaced Barbarian wanderers to grow stronger, eliminate and annex surrounding tribes, launch a relentless expansion, and eventually establish the Flame Demon Empire!"

Dina quivered and said, "You intend to restore the grandeur of the Flame Demon Emperor?"

Lanling nodded and said, "That is my ambition!"

Dina became thrilled and said, "If that day ever comes, there will undoubtedly be countless Demon Clan People rallying behind you. Though countless years have passed, the tales of the Flame Demon Emperor remain deeply engraved in people’s hearts."

Lanling said, "Once the banner of the Flame Demon Emperor is raised, it will certainly attract many supporters. However, it will also draw the attention of the Northern Moduo Empire, leading to an unrelenting conflict. Until I have between three to five thousand miles of territory, I cannot raise that banner."

Dina said, "Du Yan’s vision is too narrow. All he ever thinks about is becoming a high-ranking official within the Chimera Tribe and focusing solely on marrying Nini’an."

Lanling said, "I suspect that Nini’an is not a simple girl."

Dina said, "Who would dispute that? Constantine II only inherited his father’s cruelty but none of his cunning. However, Nini’an completely inherited her father’s cunning and her mother’s beauty, bewitching the outstanding young men of the entire tribe, leaving them utterly entranced."

Lanling remarked in disbelief, "Is it really that extreme? She’s lovely, but not more so than the second wife or Ali."

"Hmph, that’s only in your eyes," Dina retorted unhappily. "You’re infatuated with Ali, so of course, you think she’s more beautiful. But in the rankings within the tribe, your Ali only comes in third place, while Nini’an is ranked fourth."

"What rank are you?" Lanling asked.

"You’re so boring..." Dina replied.

"Fourth place?" Lanling asked again.

"Yes..." Dina responded absentmindedly.

Lanling said, "Once your skin tone has fully recovered, you’ll surely surpass Nini’an to claim second place. And I bet your figure ranks first."

As soon as these words left his mouth, Dina flew into a rage and said, "Lanling, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to tease me? In your mind, am I no better than that kind of woman like Ali, easily subjected to your flirting and disrespect?"

Lanling froze, unsure of how he had triggered Dina’s anger, and quickly raised his hands to signal a truce.

"My mistake. I won’t say anything like that again," Lanling hurriedly apologized; he would never try to win an argument with a woman.

Lanling then asked, "Do you think Du Yan has a chance of marrying Nini’an?"

"Who knows!" Dina replied irritably but quickly reverted to her usual tone. "It won’t be easy. Nini’an is highly renowned, exceptionally skilled in martial arts, and the daughter of the Chieftain. Plenty of outstanding young men aspire to marry her—especially the young Chieftain from the Ankara Tribe. Even within the Chimera Tribe, the Gryphon Cavalry Captain and the Tribe Cavalry Commander are both strong contenders against Du Yan."

Lanling asked, "All these men are infatuated with Nini’an?"

"Infatuated is an understatement," Dina replied. "Her beauty and reputation have spread across hundreds of miles."

Lanling said, "A girl who can manipulate so many outstanding young men must either genuinely enjoy the game of love or have grander ambitions."

Dina said, "Would you consider joining the fray? With your charm, you might even win her favor."

Lanling responded with a cold laugh.

First, he wouldn’t follow in the footsteps of someone like Zhi Yan. Second, in the Barbarian world, relying on women to ascend to power is even less stable than in the Human Kingdom.

"I’m going to take a bath and sleep; do as you please," Dina said.

Lanling immediately stood up and headed to his uncle Suo Mo’s cave to bathe and sleep!
