Snow Wolf swallowed the dried meat in a few mouthfuls and smacked his lips with unfinished content. His sapphire-like eyes still stared at Ning Xue with some degree of resentment.
"So, little doll, what's your name?"
It asked angrily, its tail swaying slightly unconsciously, as if it was still savoring the taste of the dried meat.
"Ning Xue."
Ning Xue answered calmly.
"Fujiwara Ning Xue... nice name."
Snow Wolf complimented casually, just think of it as reward for the dried meat.
And Ning Xue has no objection to the surname Fujiwara. After all, for him now, surname is nothing.
It doesn't matter anymore...
After the taste in its mouth completely dissipated, its eyes returned to their majestic look.
"So, Fujiwara Ning Xue, you went through all the trouble to find this place just to tell me that your family is a bunch of bastards who don't keep their word, right?"
Its tone still contained the heartache of being stabbed in the back, but compared to the furious rage just now, it was already calm.
Ning Xue looked directly into Snow Wolf's eyes and stated the purpose of this trip word by word.
"Senior, according to my notes, I know that there is a powerful partner Snow Wolf Clan here.
I came here hoping to gain your recognition, sign Summoning Contract with you, and gain the strength to fight side by side."
"Sign a contract?" Snow Wolf hummed with an unknown meaning, and at the same time, he had an expression that said so.
"That's how you humans are. When you lose a fight, you come to others for strength.
What kind of friendship from generation to generation, bah! I shouldn't have believed the words of your ancestors in the first place."
It walked around Ning Xue, its huge body carrying fine snow foam.
"If you want to sign a contract, this time it's not something you can do by just talking or offering something."
"Follow the rules, but you have to accept my test."
"Only if you pass the test can you prove that you are qualified to fight alongside us and gain our power."
Snow Wolf stopped, his eyes became sharp, and a powerful pressure was faintly exuded.
"What's more, you Fujiwara Clan are still in debt to me for so many years! You want to waste money with nothing? No way!"
"So I decided I wanted to add something a little more this time!"
Ning Xue's brows were slightly raised under the mask. He was not surprised by the test, but with the inclusion of private goods, he felt that the difficulty of the test might become even higher.
"Senior, what kind of test is it?"
Snow Wolf grinned, revealing sharp white teeth. The look made Ning Xue inexplicably have the illusion of seeing the white-haired beast version of Might Guy.
"It's very simple.
First, prove your strength.
Second, prove your sincerity."
It raised its paws, pointed at the glacier in the distance that had not melted for thousands of years, and said.
"Have you seen that ice cliff? No need Chakra, climb up.
By the way, pick some flowers for me and make some tea for me.
I haven't had a drink for a long time since you humans left."
Ning Xue looked up and saw an ice cliff so smooth that even birds could not stand on it.
He glanced at Snow Wolf next to him, who looked majestic, but in fact the tip of his tail was still slightly swaying happily from the jerk just now, and the corners of his mouth under the mask twitched uncontrollably again.
He had reason to suspect that this Snow Wolf was intentional. It was clearly the ancestor's fault, but he was left to bear the blame.
After taking a deep breath to calm down, he pointed to the top of the mountain and asked.
"Senior."
Ning Xue's voice passed through the mask, still remaining calm, "Does the flower you are referring to grow in that kind of place?"
"What? Is there a problem?" Snow Wolf opened one eye and felt happy.
Ning Xue did not answer immediately, but raised his head and turned on Byakugan, silently observing the surroundings of the ice wall, and then focused on several traces on the wall that were obviously scratched recently.
After a moment, he replied leisurely.
"I was just thinking that such a steep and smooth ice cliff would make it difficult for even the most adept climbing animals to gain a foothold.
After all, the senior is so tall and powerful, but he couldn't climb up, let alone a little baby like me?"
He paused, considered for a moment, and then continued.
"And the scratch marks on it... seem to be quite new."
The air solidified instantly.
Snow Wolf The tip of the tail that was swinging leisurely suddenly froze, and the closed eye suddenly opened, and the blue pupil suddenly shrank because of being exposed to his thoughts.
It made a short gurgling sound from its throat, choking on saliva, and its huge body stiffened visibly.
"Nonsense... nonsense!" Snow Wolf's voice suddenly rose to a higher level, with obvious panic and stern expression, "I... I am... polishing my claws! Yes! Polishing my claws! If I want to go up to that kind of place, I can just jump...!"
"Boy, just tell me if you don't dare to go?"
There was obvious anger in his tone.
