In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 119 You've really put me in a terrible situation!

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li already knew about the Amethyst Winged Lion King, so they weren't surprised when it spoke.

On the contrary, Xiao Qing, who was standing next to Xiao Ran, covered Hong He's mouth in astonishment.

He stared blankly at the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"It...it can talk?"

Seemingly sensing Xiaoqing's gaze, the Amethyst Winged Lion King bared its teeth and glared at Xiaoqing.

"Little girl, what are you looking at? Believe me or not, I'll eat you as a snack!"

"Ah!" Xiaoqing screamed and quickly hid behind Xiao Ran.

While comforting Xiao Qing, Xiao Ran said to the Amethyst Winged Lion King in an annoyed tone,

"Lion King, Xiaoqing is my personal maid. If you scare her again, I'll let you taste a roasted lion's head!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King immediately covered its head with its paws in terror.

"Hehe, I was just joking with this little girl, why take it seriously?"

Then he nodded in approval.

"Human, you're so lucky!"

"What do you know about Warcraft?!"

Xiao Ran cursed in annoyance.

Then he turned to comfort Xiaoqing, took her hand, and pulled her out from behind him, saying...

"Don't worry, Xiaoqing, the Lion King is very kind and doesn't usually eat people."

Under Xiao Ran's reassurance, Xiao Qing slowly poked her head out.

Seeing the Amethyst Winged Lion King making funny faces again, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Seemingly sensing that something was amiss, he quickly reverted to his usual composed demeanor, bowing his head and standing obediently beside Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were amazed to see how Xiao Ran had managed to become so obedient to the little girl in just one morning.

They exchanged a glance and both wore smiles like those of aunts.

Xiao Ran didn't see the expressions on his two older brothers' faces.

Ask the Amethyst Winged Lion King directly.

"Tell me, what happened? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll be making you wait for two hours today!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King looked distressed.

"No! No! Human, let me explain!"

The "time" that Xiao Ran mentioned did not simply refer to the hour.

As they traveled, the Amethyst Winged Lion King noticed that Ling Ying, the eighth-level Dou Huang, was not with them, nor was the female human Dou Huang. Gradually, he became more arrogant and started kicking and shoving.

Therefore, depending on the severity of the situation, Xiao Ran would use Yin Fire to grill the Amethyst Winged Lion King for a period of time ranging from fifteen minutes to an hour.

Despite Xiao Ran's nonchalant tone, the Amethyst Winged Lion King knew that the scorching soul from that Yin Fire was truly deadly.

He quickly raised a paw, pointed at Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, and said in a pitiful voice,

"Human, you be the judge!"

"Tell me, your two elder brothers are capable of being regimental commanders, but with my strength, they wouldn't even agree to be appointed as the fourth regimental commander."

"Is there no law anymore? Is there no justice?"

Xiao Ding quickly said apologetically,

"Lion King, I'm sorry, please don't be angry."

"It's not that my second brother and I are unwilling to appoint you as the fourth regimental commander, but the key is that with your strength, you are more than capable of dominating the entire Gama Empire."

"Moreover, none of the mercenary groups around Motie City have a member as strong as you."

"Therefore, you are truly wasting your talents in such a small temple as ours."

Xiao Li nodded solemnly and said...

"Yes, yes."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King glared at Xiao Ding with annoyance.

He asked Xiao Ran,

"Then why can this human participate, but I, the king, cannot?"

"This...this..." Xiao Ding hesitated upon hearing this.

He dared not tell the Amethyst Winged Lion King that this matter was within the Xiao family's territory.

Although Xiao Ran could subdue the Amethyst Winged Lion King, the king didn't care about the two brothers.

If they are angered again, they will suffer in the future.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran immediately stepped in to smooth things over.

"Alright, that's enough. Lion King, stop fooling around."

"If you're still not sober, I'll take you deep into the desert tomorrow, and we'll have a chat with Queen Medusa to help you sober up, how about that?"

"W-what? Medusa, the Queen?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was shocked but stubborn, and curled his lip in disdain.

"Pah, so what if she's a queen? I'm not afraid of her at all."

"However, I am still drunk. Let's talk about it after I'm sober."

With that, the Amethyst Winged Lion King shook its large head and strode into the courtyard.

Watching the departing figure of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly.

After all, this guy is pretty fast at traveling.

He might have a bit of a temper sometimes, but you can't just kill someone because he has a bit of a personality, can you?

Xiaoqing watched the comical appearance of the Amethyst Winged Lion King and secretly covered her mouth, chuckling to herself.

Xiao Ran turned to look at Xiao Qing and smiled.

"Just laugh if you want to, don't hold it in."

Xiaoqing's cheeks flushed red, her expression tightened, and she quickly regained her serious demeanor.

Watching Xiao Ran walk towards the two regimental commanders, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, I felt that his back view was even taller.

Watching this scene,

Xiao Ding chuckled and patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder.

"Ran is indeed extraordinary; he is truly loved by everyone and even lions fawn over him."

Xiao Li nodded with a smile.

"That's right, that's right, Ran is the role model for all of us brothers."

Xiao Ran rolled his eyes.

"Brother, when did you start making up new words?"

"But don't give me that nonsense."

"I'm asking you, when are you going to give Miss Xuelan, such a good girl, an explanation?"

"When I was eating earlier, Miss Xuelan was talking about my eldest brother, and she was so worried that she almost burst into tears!"

"Second brother, don't you think so?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li pretended to be heartbroken and clutched his chest.

"Ah! So it was you, Ran-di, who came to rescue us. I, your second brother, am just an extra! How sad!"

"What do you think?" Xiao Ran said with a smile.

Xiao Li immediately looked at Xiao Ding with resentment and said,

"Brother, what Ran said makes sense."

"I see that Ran is here too, so let's brothers witness this together."

"Why don't you and Miss Xuelan get married tonight?"

Xiao Ding blushed and waved his hand.

"Go away, go away! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up."

Then, looking slightly embarrassed, he said...

"With my burly appearance, Miss Xuelan might not even look at me."

Xiao Li's eyes lit up immediately, and he said,

"So, if Miss Xuelan agrees, will my elder brother also agree?"

"This, this..."

Xiao Ding was taken aback upon hearing this.

Everyone in the mercenary group knew of Xue Lan's deep affection for him.

He's capable of running a huge mercenary group, and he's not a blockhead, so how could he not understand?

However, for various reasons, he never revealed his feelings.

Seeing Xiao Ding hesitate, Xiao Li refused.

He gave Xiao Ding a shove.

"Alright, brother, what kind of behavior is this, being so fussy?"

"Give the girl a straight answer, whether she agrees or not."

"Miss Xuelan has been with you for at least five or six years now, hasn't she? The young girl is almost an old maid!"

"Besides, now that our Ran is so successful, we can only drift along here and have no goals to strive for."

"If you don't find our sister-in-law now, I'll be the first to rebel against you, the regimental commander!"

Xiao Ran nodded in agreement.

"Yes! I support Second Brother this time!"

Xiao Ding blushed and scratched his head.

"But, but..."

Xiao Ran waved his hand.

"No buts, I'll go ask Miss Xuelan what she thinks later."

Then he turned to look at Xiao Li.

"Second brother, could you please make arrangements for the members of the mercenary group? We're holding our eldest brother's wedding tonight."

Xiao Li clapped his hands.

"Okay! Let's do it this way."

After saying this, the two brothers each went their separate ways.

Watching Xiao Ran leave with his little maid.

Xiao Ding's expression was a mixture of joy, surprise, and helplessness.

He slapped his thigh.

"Second brother, Ran brother! You, you all..."

"You...you've really put me in a terrible situation!"
