Betrayed by the Succubus, I Raise a Twelve-winged Angel

Chapter 280: The Snow Wolf Clan’s Request

In a room entirely constructed of ice.

Aster Grant was seated on a cold ice bench, flanked by two towering Snow Wolf Clansmen.

Opposite him, Seraphina gazed at him with an unabashedly probing look.

Her silver-white long hair cascaded like an icy waterfall, almost blending in with the ice crystal decorations around her, and her ice-blue eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Her slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the ice table before her, making a crisp knocking sound, and then she spoke in a clear, cold voice:

"Human, state your purpose for coming to the Snow Kingdom."

Although she sensed no trace of the Demon Clan’s aura from this human’s body.

She still needed to interrogate him for precaution’s sake.

Aster Grant didn’t answer immediately but silently surveyed his surroundings.

He observed that everything about the Snow Wolf Clan—

from the tables and chairs to the wall decorations, even the weapons hanging in the corners...

was all forged from ice.

The entire space seemed dominated by pure white, almost allowing no room for any other color.

The Snow Kingdom was isolated from the entire outside world, virtually with no communication with the outside.

However...

He recalled what he witnessed when passing through the Snow Wolf Clan’s territory:

Aside from the presence of this Seraphina who reached Monarch Level, most other Snow Wolf Warriors were mediocre in strength.

And yet, such a seemingly weak clan had never been disturbed by the Demon Clan.

It was peculiar!

And when Seraphina saw that this human completely ignored her question, her eyes flashed with cold light, and she suddenly stood up.

Her snow-white palm, with fierce momentum, heavily slapped the ice table, making a "bang" sound, causing several fine ice cracks to appear on the tabletop.

"I asked you a question! Answer me!"

Aster Grant couldn’t help but slightly twitch the corner of his mouth.

Logically speaking, this Snow Wolf’s strength...

[Snow Wolf (Seraphina)]

[Talent: Myth Two Stars]

[Level: Monarch Tier Three]

[Power: 80000]

[Constitution: 70000]

[Spiritual: 70000]

[Speed: 80000]

[Skills: Extreme Cold Domain, Absolute Zero....]

Glancing over the Snow Wolf’s attributes panel, Aster Grant silently evaluated in his mind—

With Seraphina’s strength, it could only be considered very average.

Even with the currently remaining combat power of Elara Silverwood, it would be enough to easily defeat her.

However...

Aster Grant recalled what Lilith had said.

To have the Snow Maiden help heal his magical creatures, he must gain the Snow Wolf Clan’s approval.

And now, even though this Snow Wolf’s strength is not as good as his, he had no choice but to swallow his pride.

"I came here to find the Snow Maiden!"

"How dare you!"

Hearing that Aster Grant’s purpose was to directly seek the Snow Maiden, Seraphina instantly flew into a rage, with her ice-blue eyes gleaming with frosty light.

She gave a hard slap on the ice table, emitting an intense chill around her:

"Take this presumptuous human away and execute him!"

Aster Grant: "..."

Meanwhile, within the Beastbond Space,

Lilith was leisurely leaning against the branch of the Tree of Life, watching the scene outside with great interest.

She was no stranger to the Snow Wolf Clan—

they were considered her old friends.

She knew well that this seemingly aggressive Seraphina was essentially a kind spirit.

Although she was shouting to "take Aster Grant away and execute him," she actually just wanted to scare him a bit.

Moreover...

With Aster Grant’s current strength, the Snow Wolf Clan couldn’t possibly take him on.

Even with Lazuli and Veridia temporarily out of combat, just Elara Crimson and Scarlett alone would be enough to sweep through the entire Snow Wolf Clan.

Therefore, she had no worries about Aster Grant’s safety.

What truly troubled her at this moment was how to contact the Snow Maiden.

Currently, her strength was less than ten percent, making her unable to help.

In the end, Aster Grant still had to gain the Snow Wolf Clan’s approval and let them lead him to meet the Snow Maiden.

After all, near the cave where the Snow Maiden resided, there was a very strong Guardian presence.

That was also why she couldn’t approach the Snow Maiden’s cave.

Of course, there was another important reason she wasn’t helping.

And that was...

Aster Grant still didn’t realize her intention to form a Blood Covenant with him!

What did this mean?

Would she really have to put aside her pride and personally ask?

Beside her, Lazuli watched Lilith’s internal conflict, rolling her eyes in silence.

Wanting to form a contract with the master, yet not willing to speak up!

But since Lilith was unwilling to take the initiative, she would never speak up for her either.

After all, given Aster Grant’s ability to enhance the talent of magical creatures, many magical creatures longed to contract with him; why should the master have to beg for a contract?

Moreover...

Her gaze fell on the frustrated Lilith.

This Blood Progenitor already harbored special feelings for the master; if just a Blood Covenant was already so "dangerous," what would happen if she truly signed a contract with Aster Grant...

Unthinkable!

Thus, delaying as long as possible seemed to be the best course of action.

Unfortunately, Lilith was completely oblivious to this, stubbornly holding onto the dignity of a Blood Progenitor, unable to lower herself.

And this outcome, she could only blame herself.

Currently.

Faced with Aster Grant’s plea for help once more, she chose to ignore it again.

Seeing that no response was forthcoming, Aster Grant’s brows furrowed slightly.

This Snow Wolf had already given the order for his execution, and he could not really sit back and wait for death.

With this in mind, he was ready to summon Elara Silverwood and forcibly break through the current predicament.

His goal was to meet the Snow Maiden, not to get entangled with the Snow Wolf Clan.

If he couldn’t gain their approval, he didn’t mind using force to make them lead the way.

However, just as he was about to take action——

Seraphina suddenly raised her hand, stopping the Snow Wolves that were dragging Aster Grant outside.

"Wait!"

Upon hearing her command, the two Snow Wolves immediately stopped in their tracks.

Seraphina walked slowly to Aster Grant, speaking seriously:

"The Snow Maiden detests humans and is not someone you can meet at will."

"And when your kind seeks the Snow Maiden, it’s usually for the same reason—to ask her to save someone."

"Am I right?"

Hearing this, Aster Grant nodded.

Seeking the Snow Maiden to aid his magical creatures was indeed the case, so he had no intention of hiding it.

Seeing he didn’t deny, Seraphina continued:

"If you’re willing to do me a favor, I can make an exception to take your magical creature to beseech the Snow Maiden for aid."

"With my identity making the request, the success rate is far higher than going yourself."

"How about it?"

Upon hearing this, Aster Grant pondered deeply.

This Snow Wolf had a point.

His goal was merely to heal his magical creatures.

The process wasn’t all that important.

"Deal."

And seeing Aster Grant agree, Seraphina spoke:

"In that case, first, tell me the most touching love story in the human world?"

Upon hearing this, even someone as experienced as Aster Grant found himself suddenly stunned.

"What?"

"The most touching love story?"

"Is that right?"
