Volume 1, Chapter 58: Sponging Off the Wealthy

Su Wan'er's smile froze on her face. With tears welling up, she said with grievance,
"Elder Sister, this umbrella is newly bought, and I haven't even used it yet."

Not only that, but the Xiao family elders who had originally stayed behind to cultivate were also staring at the scene in front of them in utter shock. They had no idea what on earth had happened.

"Reporting to the captain!" Two soldiers ran in frantically once again, looking utterly disheveled with their armor and helmets discarded.

About six or seven miles outside Shifa County, there was a dense forest shrouded in mist year-round. This was the Purple Star Secret Realm, also known by the locals as the Misty Forest.

Given the role Zhou San usually played, it was impossible for him to gain such a huge harvest. To say he owed it to Qin Tian's blessing was absolute truth.

"In addition, I need you to dispatch a few elders to obey my commands and cooperate with my operations. After all, the strength of the three honorary elders is there for all to see. Without enough top experts, even with an exceptional opportunity, success in the end cannot be guaranteed." Xiao Yunfei pondered for a moment before putting forward another demand.

"You are not allowed to be so perfunctory with me! Being with me in the past wronged you too much. From now on, as long as you are happy every day, that's all that matters!" Holding my hand, he led me through a cluster of purple-leaf plums, turning into the backyard amidst the fragrant scent of golden bell-shaped wintersweet blossoms.

"Second brother, you idiot! Yang Fan gave instructions repeatedly, and look how you handled things!" Yang Ming城 roared angrily.

A chorus of wailing echoed through the air. Deprived of support, the Mountain Ridge Giant plummeted heavily straight from the back of the Golden-Winged Battle Eagle.

The price was not considered high. If this item were actually put up for auction outside, it would fetch a much higher price than this, but everyone here knew full well that many of the items here were unmentionable and saw no light of day.

The palpable military aura rushing toward him reminded Gao Shuai of Zheng Jing; she was always so serious and meticulous. Moreover, this commander possessed the same heroic bearing as Zheng Jing—standing nearly one meter eighty tall, with an athletic physique and a resolute face, she was truly striking.

"Rest assured, Sister Yue'er, I will definitely accomplish it, because I am a genius, and because I am the man you have chosen," Chu Linfeng said.

Neither Youhuan nor the eldest young master spoke. At this moment, one was making false accusations while the other denied them, and neither could do anything to the other. Leng Wuqing certainly could not make a move here; after all, this was the territory of the Netherworld Mansion, and they had far more experts present than the ones he had brought.

Such powerful beings were a massive catastrophe for the Immortal Realm, forcing it to go all out to deal with them.

This old man was truly formidable. Aside from Lingyin Jin'er, it seemed no one else had ever managed to venture there entirely on their own before.

Upon returning home, Mom and Grandma stopped discussing the matters regarding Uncle and Aunt. After all, that was their family business, and even Grandma had no way to say much about it. Life simply returned to its normal routine.

These ancient spiritual liquids poured madly into the bodies of the three, allowing their strength to grow rapidly.

Three days later, at the very edge of the Wind Country's yellow sands, a mysterious figure wearing a black mask and a hooded cloak, followed closely by a stooped, corpulent figure wearing a bamboo hat, stepped consecutively onto the solid bedrock.

"You'll get used to it gradually, just get used to it slowly!" Still tightly clutching the quilt and refusing to let go, Wu Chi perfunctorily brushed her off with embarrassment.

Three days had passed, yet there was still no news whatsoever from Uncle Li's side. Not a single phone call, nor any sign of the man—there was simply no way of knowing whether the matter had succeeded or not.

The Tianlan Empire was rich in resources, yet two hundred million was equivalent to the entire imperial court's revenue for two years. Now, with a single person commanding a fortune of two hundred million based on just one sentence, everyone was left completely stunned and unable to react.
