C12 Snow Wolf

His son had finally taken the initiative to talk to him, and even asked for money. This was a clear sign of acceptance; he acknowledged him as his father!

Xiao Yunlong couldn't possibly refuse.

"Here you go! Just tell me how much you need, son. If it's not enough, call me anytime, and I'll provide for you!"

"I'll start with twenty million. I need it for the short term. If it's not enough, I'll come to you again."

For him at this stage, this sum was just a drop in the bucket. Even ten times that amount might not suffice.

The journey of cultivation was incredibly costly, particularly now as he had to craft his own pills and weapons. The mere cost of materials was a significant financial burden.

Though he now had a naive disciple, he couldn't always take advantage of her goodwill.

No sooner had he spoken than the notification of the bank transfer sounded.

"I may not have many talents, but I do have some money! Just let me know when you need more!"

"Thank you, Father."

Pretending to be the dutiful son was a small price to pay for financial support. As long as his father was willing to provide, Xiao Han was more than willing to play along.

The teaching director couldn't bear to watch Xiao Han's unconvincing performance. It seemed only his biological father was blind to the act.

He couldn't help but wonder if the man before him was really Xiao Yunlong or an imposter!

With the issue resolved, Xiao Han naturally returned to his regular classes, while Xiao Yunlong, having his own affairs to deal with, left after a few words of advice.

Having finished his exams, Xiao Han went back to his school-assigned dormitory.

He was just about to relax on his bed when his gullible disciple called.

"Master! Come quick, there's trouble here!"

"Where are you?"

"I'm on Romon Street. A magical beast is causing chaos, and many people are heading this way. It looks like they're all trying to subdue it. Master, you should come and see!"

Lee Xueyun loved a good spectacle, so upon hearing about the commotion on Romon Street, she didn't hesitate to join in.

After confirming the truth, she wasted no time in phoning Xiao Han.

Xiao Han pondered for a moment, realizing he had nothing pressing to attend to.

Besides, he had been diligently cultivating in solitude and was curious about his current level of strength. Xiao Han had never solely relied on his realm to gauge his combat abilities.

Seeing a chance to test himself, he decided to take it.

He rose decisively and set out for Romon Street.

Lee Xueyun had been observing the fray from an excellent vantage point.

Why hadn't she joined the fray herself?

"Humph, just wait until my master arrives. You'll all have to step aside! Then, I'll make a grand entrance with my master, and you'll all see just how formidable... my master is!"

Xiao Han quickly made his way to her location.

"I'm here!"

He immediately spotted Lee Xueyun sitting by the second-floor window.

The hotel exuded a vintage charm that seemed to soothe the soul.

"What's the situation with the battle?"

"People are still scrambling down there, though many have already left. Whether they'll return for revenge is uncertain. But the greed etched on their faces is unmistakable, even from this distance. If all goes as expected, they'll likely return after they've recovered."

Lee Xueyun couldn't stand the sight of their greedy expressions, which is why she refrained from getting involved.

Xiao Han simply nodded, indicating he understood.

He then took Lee Xueyun's former spot, and it must be said, the naive girl had chosen well; the view was perfect for surveying the action below!

That's when he caught sight of the formidable magical beast!

"Is that a snow wolf?"

Xiao Han was stunned. How could a snow wolf be here?

Such a creature shouldn't venture into the human world on its own.

And something about its strength seemed off. Given the snow wolf's known prowess, these people shouldn't have been able to corner it.

"Master, what did you say earlier? Do you recognize this magical beast?"

Xiao Han shook his head. While he had heard tales of the snow wolf before, he didn't recognize this particular one.

"I thought I misheard... But this wolf is truly magnificent! If only I were stronger, I'd join the scramble for it myself!"

"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed—I'm claiming this snow wolf for myself."

Just as he was preparing to descend, he was taken aback to discover a new group of people arriving below!

"The Yu family?"

He hadn't expected to encounter them here!

They were clearly intent on capturing the snow wolf spirit animal!

"Has the Yu family arrived as well? Where are they?"

Lee Xueyun approached quickly. Preoccupied with their own thoughts, neither of them noticed that they were standing unusually close to one another.

She then saw the Yu family members who had encircled the snow wolf.

"Tsk, they still haven't learned their lesson after last time? Even if they catch the snow wolf, what good will it do? Does their family even have someone capable of taming it?"

Knowing that Xiao Han was also interested in the snow wolf, Lee Xueyun felt as though the creature already belonged to him.

Seeing others trying to claim it, she couldn't help feeling irked.

"Heh, isn't this typical of the Yu family? I'm curious to see what they're capable of now."

After Yu Haifeng shamelessly complained to the director last time, one would think that having dealt with their brothers, the family would have learned to behave.

But it seems...

As Xiao Han pondered this, a cacophony of screams and howls erupted from below.

Looking down, he saw the Yu family members sprawled on the ground, bested by the snow wolf with a single move.

Who knows how many onlookers snickered at the sight. Xiao Han, noticing the wounds on the snow wolf, decided not to just stand by any longer.

He leapt down and landed right next to the snow wolf.

The snow wolf instinctively tried to resist, but Xiao Han firmly pinned it down with one hand, rendering it immobile.

The stark contrast stunned the onlookers. The Yu family had dispatched over a dozen people who failed to lay a finger on the snow wolf.

Yet this young man, seemingly out of nowhere, had immobilized the snow wolf with just the strength of one hand!

"I will forge a pact with you, and you will serve me for life."

Without giving the bystanders a chance to react, Xiao Han claimed the snow wolf as his own.

Upon recognizing the visitor, the Yu family's resentment intensified.
