Is Xu Hongqiu really the naive young girl lacking in worldly experience as Xu Nanling imagined?
Although she indeed debuted not long ago, as the daughter of the leader of the Whale Gang, she had always held herself to the highest standards since childhood, never willing to fall behind others. She was naturally well-versed in all matters of social interaction. If it were anyone else, she would definitely be tougher than Xu Nanling imagined.
But the one who came was Di Nvfeng.
Xu Nanling was around forty years old this year, and his growing period just missed the years when Di Nvfeng was active in the martial arts world. So in his perception, she might just be one of the more stubborn among the thirty-six peak masters of Shu Mountain, not much concept.
But Xu Hongqiu had carefully studied the information of all the great powers in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and among the people who left a deep impression on her, Di Nvfeng could definitely be ranked in the forefront.
Such a character, wherever she went, hundreds of birds would worship her, the Flood Dragon would hide at the bottom of the abyss, the jackals would dig the earth and bury their heads, and the tigers would make the sound of a civet cat…
What right did you, Xu Nanling, have to speak loudly to her? Because she was smiling now?
“Senior, please calm down.” Xu Hongqiu didn’t retreat, but instead stepped forward to persuade.
“You guys, go and carry him back.” Di Nvfeng casually gestured to a few subordinates of the Whale Gang behind her, as if she was ordering her own servants.
Those few people actually didn’t resist at all, they immediately obeyed and went to carry Xu Nanling, no one dared to hesitate.
Then Di Nvfeng reached out and pressed Xu Hongqiu’s shoulder, saying, “I’m not angry, it’s just that he suddenly shouted and scared me.”
After a while, several subordinates carried the limp Xu Nanling back and propped him up in front of everyone.
Xu Nanling’s bones were all broken and his internal organs were shattered, he couldn’t run away. Although his injuries were severe, his spirit was still clear. He looked at Di Nvfeng without daring to say a word, even his difficult breathing was restrained.
“Last night you indiscriminately beat my disciple, I actually came to seek justice.” Di Nvfeng’s face was filled with grievance, “As long as you can give a satisfactory answer, we will leave immediately.”
“Master, Miss Xu is a good person, let’s not be too petty…” Chu Liang advised from behind.
“Alright, then let’s not be petty with others.” Di Nvfeng nodded, looking at the barely breathing Xu Nanling, she said, “You slapped my disciple, so I’ll slap you back, fair, right?”
“I…” Xu Nanling was about to speak,
He immediately remembered, hurriedly lowered his voice, and whispered, “Didn’t you already kick me…”
“That’s because you yelled at me.” Di Nvfeng frowned, “Just now I only used half of my strength, the slap I’m going to give you won’t be so light.”
Xu Nanling quickly waved his hand, his face full of despair.
Di Nvfeng wasn’t lying, she really didn’t use half of her strength just now, and she didn’t even use her best fire. Otherwise, Lord Ding Shan, who had a higher cultivation level than Xu Nanling, would have been killed in the same way.
“Senior!” Xu Hongqiu stood in front of Xu Nanling, looking at Di Nvfeng, “We can offer compensation.”
There was no other way, it was clear that they came to blackmail today.
Although Xu Hongqiu also wanted to see her second uncle punished, if Di Nvfeng really killed him here, she would definitely not allow it.
After all, she was the one in charge in the Beast Hall now, all the people were under her control, and she was responsible for everything. If she allowed such a thing to happen, she would have no credibility in the Whale Gang in the future.
She had to protect him.
“This is a bit embarrassing…” Di Nvfeng finally smiled, “We are not unreasonable people, how about this, you just compensate for my disciple’s medical expenses.”
“Master, how can we ask for money from them?” Chu Liang quickly stopped her, “Miss Xu is a good friend, talking about money hurts feelings.”
“Then what should we ask for if not money?” Di Nvfeng countered.
“There are all kinds of spirit beasts in the Beast Hall, why don’t we just take one back to raise?” Chu Liang suggested, “Our Silver Sword Peak is just short of a mount.”
“That won’t work.” Di Nvfeng shook her head, “Don’t you know about my Phoenix’s pressure? The monsters of the first four realms will be scared to death, they can’t be raised.”
“Then let’s just take a fifth realm one back, raise it well, and it will be a testament to our friendship with the Whale Gang.” Chu Liang suggested.
“Huh?” Di Nvfeng seemed to think for a moment, “I think this idea is not bad, what do you think, Miss Xu?”
Xu Hongqiu looked at Di Nvfeng, then at Chu Liang, and couldn’t help but smile, “Okay.”
…
Although there were many monsters in the Beast Hall, there were few of high realm. A sixth realm monster might only appear once or twice a year, and a fifth realm monster was usually the main product of the store.
At this moment, there were four in the yard.
The prices in Glutton City were inflated, like the fourth realm monster that Xu Hongqiu killed the other day, the selling price was already several thousand Rosefinch coins. And a fifth realm monster, the selling price was definitely over ten thousand!
“Both of you can choose at will, whichever one you choose, you can take it away.” After Xu Hongqiu guided them, she stepped back and folded her hands, apparently not intending to give any explanation.
As for which one to choose, it was all up to their own abilities.
The four monsters were trapped in a huge cage, each showing different demeanors.
One was a gigantic black turtle, its body rough and pitch-black. Its heavy shell resembled a small city gate, resting on a rock that looked like a small mountain, exuding a sense of tranquility.
Another was a thick and lush tree demon, seemingly possessing some sort of mystique. All of its branches had grown into the shape of wild beasts, all with their eyes closed. However, to Chu Liang, it felt as if they could open their eyes at any moment.
There was also a pure white cat demon, with tri-colored pupils, lazily lying there with an air of arrogance, not even bothering to open its eyes to look at anyone who approached.
The last one was a strange beast covered in bright golden fur, its species unidentifiable. The fur on its head was shorter, making its head appear large… or perhaps it was just naturally large. It was sleeping, mouth open and drooling, looking rather unintelligent.
“Choose an expensive one.” Di Nvfeng whispered to Chu Liang after taking a look around.
“I don’t recognize any of them.” Chu Liang whispered back.
In terms of identifying strange beasts, both master and disciple were equally clueless.
“Even if they are all fifth realm demons, their prices can vary greatly. We need to choose the one with the best quality.” Di Nvfeng said.
“I have an idea…” Chu Liang leaned in to whisper in Di Nvfeng’s ear.
“Sounds good.” Di Nvfeng nodded slightly, then straightened up, her gaze falling on the four demons, her pupils contracting slightly.
Boom.
The next second, her phoenix pressure suddenly poured out, as if the surrounding air had suddenly solidified.
Although the people standing around the Beast Hall were not the targets of the pressure, they still felt a palpitation, and those with lower cultivation levels almost fainted!
“Roar–“
The four demons reacted differently to this.
The giant turtle quickly retracted its limbs and head, closing its shell as if to say, the world has nothing to do with me.
All the branches of the tree demon opened their eyes in an instant. The beast-like forms were indeed not false, but the branches on both sides were frightened as soon as they opened their eyes and hurriedly retreated back into the canopy!
The arrogant white cat, its tri-colored pupils shining brightly, no longer appeared proud. It lay on the ground, seemingly submitting.
On the contrary, the seemingly simple-minded golden beast suddenly sprang up, letting out a deafening roar! Its golden fur stood on end, like a sword or a halberd standing tall! It glared at Di Nvfeng, the source of the pressure, with its back arched and head raised, revealing a fighting stance!
Chu Liang pointed and loudly declared, “Big head! You’re the one!”
