Chapter 1235: Chapter 1234 Drinking Wine and Making Merry At the moment, Lin Dong stood up and said with a cupped fist salute to Bai Long: "Lord Bai Long, I must not hide the truth, that woman from the Dragon Country is now my woman." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦 Upon hearing this, the expression on Bai Long’s face changed, becoming unpredictable. The photo Hei Tu had shown him depicted a truly beautiful woman. Definitely one of the most beautiful women he had seen in many years. But now he had to hear that such a beauty had been taken by ’Lin Bei,’ this fellow from his hometown, which naturally left him quite displeased. However, he kept this displeasure to himself. At this point, his appreciated hometown fellow was speaking up clearly in an attempt to make him back off from that woman. After some consideration, Bai Long weighed the pros and cons, and decided to give face to Lin Dong. Bai Long was a man with a strong sense of cleanliness. Now that his subordinate claimed her, that woman was already Lin Dong’s woman. As the leader of the Twelve Zodiacs, to chase after a subordinate’s second-hand woman was distasteful. Even if the woman was incredibly beautiful, he found it repugnant. Instead, he thought it better to grant him this favor, doing a potentially valuable subordinate a good turn. Besides, he did have a high regard for this hometown fellow ’Lin Bei.’ Now, by granting him such a large favor, wouldn’t he owe his very life to him in the future? With that in mind, he said with a smile, "So that woman has already become Lin Bei’s woman, huh." "In our Dragon Country there is an old saying, ’A gentleman doesn’t lay claim to what others love.’ Since that beauty is now Lin Bei’s woman, how could I, as the big brother, take your woman?" With that said, he also reprimanded Hei Tu. "Hei Tu, next time you recommend a woman to me, do a better investigation. I am not one to take my brothers’ women!" Hei Tu was even more displeased when hearing this. She had not expected Bai Long to value ’Lin Bei’ to such an extent that he would forgo such an exquisite beauty, just to do him a favor. Though she was annoyed inside, she dared not show it on her face. "Yes, Lord Bai Long," Hei Tu said, not pleased inwardly but managing to nod with a smile on her face. Then she clapped her hands, and one of her close aides, accompanied by a few beauties from Yinhua Country, came over. "Brother Bai Long, these are a few beauties I have chosen from my ’Sacrificial goods.’ They are all from Yinghua Country and should be quite skilled in serving men." Bai Long nodded with a smile, "Good, let them come over." Then he saw those several beauties from Yinghua Country approaching Bai Long, who pulled them into his arms and began to drink and make merry with them. The rest of the Twelve Zodiacs also had their close aides send up their ’Sacrificial goods,’ including tall and voluptuous beauties from Xiong Country. There were beauties from Paocai Nation, delicate and deserving of pity. There were also beauties from Yingjiang Country, blonde and blue-eyed, with explosive figures. And then there were the modest yet charming beauties from Yinghua Country... Among the Twelve Zodiacs were two women, Hei Tu and Lan Ji, who also had female companions by their side at the moment. Hei Tu, in particular, not only had the company of beauties but also a few handsome men from Paocai Nation serving her. "Come on, set up a table and chairs for Brother Lin Bei too! And pair him with some beauties for company!" Bai Long did indeed admire Lin Dong and now was arranging for him to have his own table and chairs. It should be known that only the Twelve Zodiac Hall Masters could take a seat here. Now by arranging for Lin Dong to have his own table and chairs, Bai Long was elevating him to a status akin to that of the Twelve Zodiac Hall Masters. Clearly, this did not sit well with Hei Tu, Lü Gou, and the rest. Lü Gou said, "Brother Bai Long, why does that kid deserve a seat? He hasn’t accomplished any great feats for our Black Sorcerer Palace, nor does he have the strength, how does he qualify to sit on an equal footing with us, the Twelve Zodiacs?" No sooner had these words left her mouth than Bai Long couldn’t help but laugh, "Lü Gou, look at what you’re saying. It’s just a set of table and chairs for him, how does that make him sit on equal footing with the Twelve Zodiacs?" "Don’t blow things out of proportion!" As he spoke, something else occurred to him. "Right, set up another table and chairs for Jin Weishan!" Jin Weishan was numb with shock, thinking, you finally remembered me, huh? Aren’t I the one who accomplished a great feat? Soon, two more tables and chairs had been set up, especially for Lin Dong and Jin Weishan. Once the two were seated, Bai Long Laughingly Said, "Brother Lin Bei, have you ever experienced the company of foreign beauties? Do you want to give it a try? Women from Xiong Country, beauties from Yingjiang Country, Yinghua Country, Paocai Nation, and so on, each has their unique allure; let me recommend one from each to you..." Lin Dong said with a cupped fist, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Bai Long, but having that Dragon Country woman is enough for me." "Haha, I didn’t expect Brother Lin Bei to be a man of loyalty. Since that’s the case, Brother Lin Bei, you should invite that Dragon Country woman to come and keep you company..." As he spoke, he looked towards Red Rat. "Red Rat, have you not yet invited Lin Bei Brother’s Dragon Country woman to come over and accompany him?" Seeing this, Red Rat could only say, "Yes." Lin Dong found himself unable to say anything. At this time, Hei Tu began to stir trouble, "By the way, Brother Bai Long, about that cruise ship with the Dragon Country sacrifices, it’s almost all stars from Dragon Country and Paocai Nation. They were participating in some event on the cruise ship and were ’invited’ over by our people..." "Now all these dancers and singers are subpar. They just know how to shake their butts and twist their waists, which is uninteresting to watch." "Brother Bai Long, why don’t we pick a group from those Dragon Country sacrifices to dance and sing for our enjoyment, how does that sound?" This was a good suggestion, and Bai Long Laughingly Said, "Good, Hei Tu makes a good point. Since they are stars, they must be good at dancing and singing. Red Rat, you personally go back and select a few to come here and dance, sing, and liven things up for us..." Red Rat looked at Lin Dong and noticed the killing intent in his eyes, but at this moment he remained silent. It was still not the right time to act out, as the Master of the Black Sorcerer Palace had not arrived yet, and Lin Dong could not move against these people. Otherwise, the operation would be a failure. For the greater good, he had to continue bearing it.
