Prime Originator

Chapter 918 – Poke Me Too

"The Desolate Netherbird Tribe is that afraid of the Blue Luan Tribe? Did Softfeather reveal her identity as the daughter of the current Blue Luan Tribe's leader, Bluewinter?" Leon wondered.

"Not at all. Softfeather didn't have to do anything. The Desolate Netherbird Tribe's army retreated the moment they saw her," Lilith said after shaking her head.

"The Blue Luan Tribe is powerful but also quite reclusive. Thus, Desolate Netherbird Tribe was probably cautious after seeing a Blue Luan in our clan. They didn't know what sort of relationship we shared with the Blue Luan Tribe."

"Nevertheless, that happened two weeks ago. We haven't heard much from the Desolate Netherbird Tribe since then. Even Nethergrass City, which is closest to us, has been quiet—too quiet, in fact. It's rather strange."

Lilith mentioned her doubt after the matter was brought up. However, she quickly shook her head after and said, "Come, let me introduce you to my parents."

"No need, Lilith," a middle-aged man's voice trickled over.

Shortly after, everyone saw the clan leader and his wife approaching them from the other end of the hallway.

"How can I make our Desolate Crow Clan's great benefactor and savior come and meet me? It is only appropriate that I would come and meet the savior instead," the Desolate Crow Clan's leader, Lidoran, stated.

A few moments later, Lidoran and his wife, Lilianna, stopped beside Lilith and checked Leon out from top to bottom. Their gazes quickly flickered with approval and respect.

"Well met, Prince Leon. You are extraordinary, as I heard. No, perhaps you are even more extraordinary than that! We honored that you would grace our clan with your presence once more," Lidoran greeted humbly with praises.

Although the Desolate Crow Clan's leader couldn't tell the depths of Leon's strength, the clan leader had met the Desolate Netherbird Tribe's leader before.

But even the Desolate Netherbird Tribe's leader could not compare to Prince Leon in aura alone.

Words could not describe how Lidoran felt about Leon's aura. It was like the king of all beasts was dwelling inside of him.

Nevertheless, Lilith and her mother, Lady Lilianna, were surprised by Lidoran's humble words. He did not speak like an elder to a junior but a subordinate to his lord.

"Likewise, clan leader. It's good to see that you are doing fine," Leon replied. He did not know much about Lilith's father. Thus, he could only reply as such.

Even so, it was enough to put a smile on Lidoran's face.

"Hahaha, this is all thanks to Prince Leon's blessings. If you did not help my clan awaken their bloodline and improve their strength, it wouldn't have been possible for them to rescue the elders, my wife, and I," Lidoran stated.

"Please stay with us for today, Prince Leon. Allow us to act as proper hosts and treat you to a sumptuous feast and thank you for everything you have done for our Desolate Crow Clan," Lidoran offered shortly after.

However, Leon smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, but I will have to turn down your offer, clan leader."

"Since I've been away for quite some time, there are also other places that I wish to check up on right away. As an apology, allow me to offer some primordial cultivation techniques that prove useful for your clan."

"Primordial cultivation techniques?" Lidoran uttered with surprise.

Leon nodded.

However, he found it inappropriate to poke the Desolate Crow Clan's clan leader on the forehead. Thus, he called Lilith over and poked her instead.

"Hm… Lilith, come over here."

"What is it?"

Streams of information shortly flowed into Lilith's confused head after being poked on the forehead. It didn't take long before her eyes widened with shock.

"The Grand Desolation Technique? Storm Roc Revolving True Wind Art? The Godfiend Body Forging Method?" Lilith uttered with surprise.

Lilith became even more shocked by their potential as more information flowed into her mind.

"These are all True Divinity methods!"

"What!"

Lidoran was shocked after hearing his daughter's cry of surprise. In the next instance, Lidoran glanced at Leon with reverence.

"Weren't you going to teach me the methods, Prince Leon? Why did you give them to my daughter instead?" Lidoran voiced his doubt.

"This is only our first meeting," Leon mentioned before adding, "As such, I found it inappropriate to poke the forehead of the Desolate Crow Clan's clan leader."

"Hahaha, what is inappropriate about receiving more blessings from our Savior? I don't mind at all. Please poke me a few times too, Prince Leon," Lidoran gleamed with anticipation.

"Ahem," Leon coughed and said, "Clan Leader, please speak more concisely. Your words can be rather misleading when taken out of context."

"What?" Lidoran quickly revealed a baffled look before turning to his wife and asked, "What is Prince Leon talking about?"

However, Lilianna stared at her husband weirdly.

Then, she chuckled and said teasingly, "I was wondering why you don't touch me at night anymore since we returned from the prison cell in Nethergrass City… It turns out it was because you are g—!"

"Stop! Don't say anymore!" Lidoran pleaded before saying with a bitter smile, "You know that's not the reason. How can I be… No, never mind that."

Lidoran finally understood what was going on. Even so, he was caught off guard. He didn't expect Prince Leon to make a joke.

"Prince Leon sure knows how to joke," Lidoran said wryly.

Leon smiled.

He didn't expect Lilith's mother to play along with it either. Nevertheless, he glanced at Lilith and said, "It looks like you got your playful side from your mother."

Lilith replied to him by poking her tongue out.

Shortly after, Lilianna turned to her husband and said sensibly, "Dear, since Prince Leon is busy, we should not insist on keeping him. It will only make things difficult for Prince Leon instead. Also, we don't need to trouble Prince Leon further when our daughter can teach the techniques to us."

"Right… I was too excited and didn't think of that," Lidoran nodded after some self-reflection.

After sparing a few words, Leon, Aria, and Darlene bid farewell to the Desolate Crow Clan.

They returned to the cellar and adjusted the Teleportation Array's coordinates before stepping into the spatial rift and disappearing to the other side of it.
