The World of Beasts: Snake, I am the mother of all dragons

Lie Xiaotian had a faint smile on his face, his expression calm as he responded unhurriedly, "This is a beast tide after all. From ancient times to the present, it's all thanks to the concerted efforts of everyone that Beast City is what it is today."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd, as if seeking support.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"City Lord Lie is right. This is a matter of life and death for Beast City. We should all do our part."

"Yes, that's true. If I rely on myself alone, I can definitely defend against the beast tide."

"Yes, at this critical moment, no one can let down the chain."

These voices intertwined together, forming a powerful public opinion pressure that seemed to drown Bai Luoluo.

Unfortunately, these words that may fool others cannot fool her.

Bai Luoluo gently spread out her hands, a calm smile still on her face. "Of course I understand all of this, but times have changed. It's not that easy for me, Soul-Suppressing Hall, to do this thankless task."

Bai Luoluo's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no sign of compromise. As soon as these words came out, they instantly aroused public anger.

"No, how could you be so selfish?"

"We are all working for the future of Beast City, but you only care about your own gains and losses!"

"That's right, the Palace Master, I think he's a coward."

The crowd's accusations came like a tide, and they were all filled with righteous indignation and anger, as if Bai Luoluo had committed an unforgivable crime.

Some even shouted, "Get her out! People like her don't deserve to stay in Beast City!"

Fierce emotions burned in the square.

Seeing this, Lie Xiaotian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible smug smile.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. This is because young people lack experience!

There was a hint of sarcasm in Lie Xiaotian's smile, as if he had foreseen his own victory.

However, Bai Luoluo scoffed at this. She chuckled disdainfully: "Are you sure you want to chase us away?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tuoba Ye stood up suddenly, his voice loud and firm: "If the Palace Master is expelled, then my Tuoba family is willing to follow!"

His words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears.

"What? No, Master Tuoba, you..."

Immediately afterwards, the heads of the Ye, Mu, Mao and other families spoke out, saying that if Bai Luoluo was expelled from Beast City, they would also relocate with their entire clan.

This sudden change made the scene suddenly quiet.

The originally passionate shouts completely disappeared, and everyone was stunned. They did not expect that Bai Luoluo had such a strong appeal that could make these aristocratic families choose to support her without hesitation.

Bai Luoluo shrugged, a teasing smile on his face: "Why don't you continue talking? You're playing dumb intermittently."

"It seems you also know who the real main force charging into battle for this Beast City is?"

"..."

Everyone fell into silence for a moment. They all knew that if these noble families left Beast City with their entire clans, the strength of Beast City would be greatly reduced.

Not to mention the beast tide, even the living standards will drop significantly in the future!

clap clap clap!

As Bai Luoluo's applause rang out, attention was once again focused on Bai Luoluo.

"Times have changed, everyone. If you want me to make selfless contributions to the Soul-Suppressing Hall now, I'm sorry, but I won't be able to accompany you."

"I'm just an ordinary orc palace master. I will only be responsible for the people under my command."

"I believe you've all heard of this. After all, I'm the one who sponsored the Holy Healing Spiritual Juice."

As soon as Bai Luoluo finished speaking, everyone's faces showed surprise without concealment.

"What? The Holy Healing Spiritual Juice actually came from the Soul-Calming Palace Master?"

"Doesn't that mean that the Soul-Calming Hall has an endless supply of Holy Healing Spiritual Juice?"

"Wouldn't that mean our lives would be more secure?"

"What the hell are you dreaming of? That belongs to the Soul-Calming Palace."

For a moment, the entire forum was in an uproar again, with discussions and exclamations intertwined.

Lie Xiaotian saw that the situation was not right, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly said in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"

Bai Luoluo spread his hands and said casually, "It's very simple. We can each protect our own. I will protect the people of the Soul-Calming Hall, and as the city lord, you should selflessly protect everyone, right?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in her words, as if she was hinting at something.

Upon hearing this, Lie Xiaotian's face instantly became as gloomy as the sky before a storm, so dark that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

He secretly speculated in his heart: "What did the other party discover? Is he implying something about me?"

But Lie Xiaotian was, after all, a shrewd and cunning smiling tiger. He quickly adjusted his mood and pretended to have learned his lesson.

"It seems like you have a lot of complaints about me. Ah, I guess it must be that I, Lie Xiaotian, didn't do something well enough."

"How about this? I, Lie Xiaotian, am willing to give up my position as city lord to you. As long as you are willing to protect everyone and help them survive this beast tide, then I, an old man who is ready to retire, will be satisfied."

There was a hint of sincerity and helplessness in Lie Xiaotian's voice.

"Oh my god, City Lord Lie is truly dedicated to the public good. He doesn't even want the position of City Lord anymore?"

"Should the other party be satisfied now?"

"It's a pity that our Lord Lie has worked diligently for so many years, but he never expected to be marginalized."

The unsuspecting orcs were moved to tears.

They also praised Lie Xiaotian's magnanimity and selflessness.

When Ye Ling and the others heard Lie Xiaotian's extremely hypocritical words, they all showed disdain on their faces, "Just putting on airs."

It seems that the other party is really preparing to take action against them, and is even willing to abandon the position of city lord.

Don’t even think about who has been working hard to gain legitimacy in the past and now.

This scene was seen by some orcs below. They seemed to have caught something and immediately became alert.

One of the burly orcs stood up, pointed at Ye Ling and the Mao family, and said loudly: "The Ye and Mao families are both supporting families of Beast City. They usually receive a lot of protection from Beast City, but now they are willing to abandon Beast City. They are really unworthy of the blessing of the Beast God!"

"I don't know if the Master Wuji will seek justice when he returns."

"..."

When Ye Ling heard this, her face darkened instantly and anger surged in her heart.

He never imagined that his family, who had saved lives and worked hard for Beast City for many years, would be suspected like this.

"Sure enough, if you give too many smiles, you'll end up with bad habits."

"These people usually benefit from our help, but now they turn around and blame us. How ungrateful!"

When the orc saw that Ye Ling did not respond, he thought he had hit the other party's sore spot. A smug look appeared on his face, and his chest puffed out higher.

However, before he could be happy for too long, Bai Luoluo's crisp laughter came from above.

Bai Luoluo looked at the orc with a sharp gaze and said, "Since you are so keen on selfless dedication, our Lord Lie is short of manpower, right? You won't refuse to join the frontline battle, right?"

If the knife doesn't cut you, you won't feel pain, right?
