Monster Refining System

Chapter 31 – Big Loss?

“Sorcery?” Xia Fukun was taken aback by Yao Duwan’s words.

“How dare you make such comments? Have you never reflected on yourself?”

Not wanting to waste any more words on Yao Duwan, Xia Fukun immediately summoned his Fire Python Tiger.

What a joke, I rented it for an hour, so why would I only use it for ten minutes? I will definitely not be an extravagant and wasteful person.

On the other hand, Yao Duwan, who had lost the help of the demon, was now at a loss.

He was just a pharmacologist, how was he going to fight an eighth-grade beast?

After a few minutes, Yao Duwan was badly defeated by the Fire Python Tiger.

Xia Fukun went to Yao Duwan. Just as he did with Yang Guo, he squatted down in front of Yao Duwan, wearing a sneer on his face.

“Can I ask you something?”

Yao Duwan’s rotten face was so badly disfigured and grotesque that it sent chills running down one’s spine. Xia Fukun couldn’t help but look away. He’s such an ugly thing….

“Kid…” Yao Duwan reached out a hand weakly.

“What, you want to give me something?”

Xia Fukun reached out his hand to Yao Duwan.

Yao Duwan: “???”

What on earth is he thinking?

But it doesn’t matter.

Yao Duwan used all his energy to hold Xia Fukun’s hand in his own.

Szz…

As soon as Xia Fukun came in contact with Yao Duwan, smoke could be seen drifting out of his hand, turning it purplish-green.

“Hehehe!

“Why would I let you off for ruining my plan?

“I, Yao Duwan, have been living in the Yaslan Empire for years, and I have never fallen at anyone’s hands. I might be just a pharmacologist, but I focus on poison. I have tried so many poisons that my body is now more poisonous than any poison! Who asked you to be so brainless, to make physical contact with me? Serves you right, rascal! Hahahahahaha!

“But why… I could’ve towered over everyone in the Nine Spiritual Mainland, but you, this rascal, ruined it for me! Ahhhhhhh!”

The more Yao Duwan said, the crazier he got. He started laughing like a madman, but suddenly, he came to a stop.

“???”

Xia Fukun wore a poker face as he squatted right in front of him, and his hands were as good as new.

“You’re fine?”

“Yep.” Xia Fukun nodded.

He stared at Yao Duwan in disdain.

Idiot.

I spent five refinement points on an antitoxin extracted from a precious beast! If I could not withstand such a small amount of poison, then the Monster Refining System must be a swindler!

Of course, Yao Duwan was unaware of that.

Initially, Yao Duwan thought that Xia Fukun was only able to recover after inhaling his poison previously because it was not poisonous enough. However, I have released the strongest poison in my body, and he’s still fine!?

What on earth? We are definitely people of …

Chapter 30 – Reliable

“Oh my god. How long has he not washed his hands for?”

Xia Fukun stared at the giant claw that was reaching out of the crack.

If Xia Fukun had to describe the claw instantly, he would say…

Braised chicken claw?

Of course, that wasn’t important.

The claw stuck to the ground tightly.

A roar could be heard, and a giant shadow shot out of the crack.

And indeed, Xia Fukun was right; this giant shadow only had one claw.

“A single-armed demon.” Xia Fukun was flabbergasted. Why does this demon feel more like Yang Guo than the previous guy called Yang Guo? He actually has a trait of the real Yang Guo after all. (Translator notes: As mentioned earlier, Yang Guo is a character in the Return of the Condor Heroes who lost his arm.)

At the same time, the shadow shook its head.

It had an exceptionally long neck, which spanned about one meter from what Xia Fukun could see. In total, it was four meters tall, which meant one fourth of its body consisted of its neck. In addition, the demon’s skin was cracked open like a volcano, and black lava-like fluid with a rotten smell ran down from the cracks.

Roar!

“Who? Who is the one that got me out of the Abyss?”

The Vanguard Grade demon took a tour around the surroundings and frowned upon realizing that it was in the Nine Spiritual Mainland.

“My lord! It was me!” Yao Duwan shouted to the demon that he had summoned. Even though he did not plan to summon a Vanguard Grade demon, his preparations for a King Grade demon were destroyed by Xia Fukun, so he could only settle for a Vanguard Grade demon.

The demon seemed to only have the ability of a Supreme Realm, but it was actually comparable to a martial artist who was about to break through to the Heaven Realm.

It might have been because of a difference in taste, but the more Yao Duwan looked at the demon, the more fond of it he became.

“Human?” The demon took a glance at Yao Duwan and realized that he was indeed holding a seal.

“Do you wish to sign a deal with me? If you do, you will have to work for the Abyss from today onward.”

Yao Duwan agreed without hesitation.

“My lord vanguard, that is not a problem. Yao Duwan understands this!”

Seeing how straightforward Yao Duwan was, Xia Fukun couldn’t help but frown. I knew he was bad, but it seems like he’s an enemy of mankind. I can’t let such a person live!

“Great, hahaha. It’s been a long time since I visited the Nine Spiritual Mainland.”

The demon stuck out its long and slick tongue, licking away the foul-smelling fluid that was leaking from its cheek. It wore an excited smile on its face.

“However, my lord vanguard, before anything else, I hope you can help me settle a problem,” Yao Duwan …

Chapter 29 – The Demon Comes Out

My name’s Xia Fukun, and I’m currently full of fiery fury.

Back on Earth, I always despised child traffickers. My blood boiled, and I couldn’t help but curse when I saw posts about child trafficking online. How can you harm those innocent and pure children just because of your self-interest?

However, Xia Fukun did not have the freedom to act as he wished on Earth due to the limits of his power.

But it was different now. He was now living in the Nine Spiritual Mainland.

Anger was written all over Xia Fukun’s face as he stared at Yao Duwan hard.

His expression gave Yao Duwan a huge shock. Xia Fukun’s reaction was so scary that Yao Duwan even thought that Xia Fukun’s family member was among the fallen victims.

“Unforgivable.”

Fires of fury were smoldering in Xia Fukun’s eyes. As soon as Yao Duwan heard Xia Fukun, he heard a roar coming from his back.

After getting rid of Yang Guo with Ye Qingwan, Xia Fukun stored the Fire Python Tiger, but he was so furious upon discovering Yao Duwan’s inhumane acts that he let it out again.

The yin energy in the air was immediately suppressed by a scorching fire.

“This…”

Ignoring Xia Fukun, Yao Duwan could feel that there was a strong opponent behind him. He turned around and was welcomed by the Fire Python Tiger, which was pouncing up to him.

“An eighth-grade beast!?”

Yao Duwan held his breath and dodged the attack.

Similar to Yang Guo, Yang Duwan had the ability of a Warrior Realm. However, he was a pharmacologist as well and had picked up strange skills, thus he was able to dodge the attack of the Fire Python Tiger.

“Damn it! I didn’t expect this rascal to have such a helper!”

Obviously, Yao Duwan did not think that the Fire Python Tiger was Xia Fukun’s pet. How could a fourth-grade beast trainer summon an eighth-grade beast? Thus, he thought that the Fire Python Tiger was just Xia Fukun’s partner.

“A dead man should speak less,” Xia Fukun said coldly. In his eyes, Yao Duwan was already dead.

Yao Duwan was dying to get rid of Xia Fukun, but facing the Fire Python Tiger’s continuous attacks, he was unable to spare any effort to handle Xia Fukun.

So, when he saw Xia Fukun going up to destroy his setup for summoning the demon, Yao Duwan’s face fell immediately!

Go and die, rascal! I was planning to summon a King Grade demon to sign a deal with, but now I can only summon a Vanguard Grade demon.

Yao Duwan sighed and gave himself a strong smack on his chest.

Pui!

Yao Duwan vomited blood.

Immediately, a strange rune appeared in front of him.

It grew bigger and bigger, enveloping Yao Duwan and his surroundings slowly.

Even though the Fire Python Tiger tried to attack him, all its efforts were in vain. It was now impossible to attack Yao …

Chapter 28 – Going Against Yao Duwan

Inside the Bu Peng family, Bu Peng anxiously stared at Yao Duwan, who was standing right in front of him. Yao Duwan was currently performing a ritual, or rather, “making” the Blood Grains for Bu Peng.

There were butterflies in Bu Peng’s stomach. The ten Blood Grains were extremely important to Bu Peng. With them, he could form a suicide squad to snatch all the gold mines in the Yaslan Empire. By then, he would no longer be the largest gold mine business in the Yaslan Empire, but… the only!

There was a difference between the “largest” and the “only.”

At that point, he would have control of the Yaslan Empire’s currency in his hands.

As for the mercenaries that followed him, Bu Peng was not worried about them at all. With Yang Guo, he was sure that the mercenaries would be taken care of. I pay him splendidly! His pay is an unimaginable number for ordinary people!

Just as Bu Peng was watching Yao Duwan carry out his ritual attentively, a voice suddenly rang through his ear.

“Bu Peng, what are you doing?”

“Huh?”

Bu Peng was caught by surprise. This is such a familiar voice, where have I heard it?

Moreover, who in this household would address me with my name instead of Master?

Bu Peng turned around, confused, only to see Xia Fukun’s grinning face.

“???”

When someone was extremely strained, they would lose their voice.

Just like Bu Peng. Before he could let out a scream, Xia Fukun had already cupped his mouth.

“Shh, I just want to ask you; what are you doing?” Xia Fukun said with an accent. But Bu Peng should still understand me.

“Why are you guys here…? Where’s Sir Yang?”

After Xia Fukun let go of him, Bu Peng stared at him and Ye Qingwan in confusion.

“Sir Yang? Oh, you mean the one that’s great at dirty tricks?”

“Yes, Sir Yang is well-known for his swordsmanship…”

Not wanting to listen to Bu Peng boast about Yang Guo further, Xia Fukun waved his hands and took out Yang Guo’s sword from the storage ring.

“His sword is here with me. Why do you think I’m here?”

“You guys… bribed Sir Yang?” Bu Peng was gobsmacked.

Bang!

Xia Fukun smacked him in the face.

“Speak human language.”

Xia Fukun glared at Bu Peng and continued.

“Are you sure that this old man is making you Blood Grains?”

Xia Fukun pointed at Yao Duwan, who was working not far away.

“Yes, Sir Yao would not lie to me,” Bu Peng said confidently.

“Can you feel it?” Ignoring Bu Peng, Xia Fukun turned to Ye Qingwan. Bu Peng might just be plain stupid.

“No, but it feels off. It’s a very uncomfortable feeling. The other party might be performing an evil ritual, or he may be trying to summon a demon to make a deal with it.”

“Demon?” Xia Fukun was slightly shocked.

Wow, there are demons …

Chapter 27 – Touched

“Eighth… eighth-grade beast?” Ye Qingwan was clearly taken aback by the Fire Python Tiger too. Only now did she realize it was Xia Fukun who summoned it.

This guy… this can’t be real, right? How could a fourth-grade beast trainer summon an eighth-grade beast?!

Ye Qingwan couldn’t help but be reminded of what Xia Fukun said to her earlier.

“Erm, I can trust you, right?”

If Xia Fukun’s ability to summon an eighth-grade beast as a fourth-grade beast trainer was spread out… Ye Qingwan believed that it would make not only the Yaslan Empire or the Scarlet Water province crazy, but the entire Nine Spiritual Mainland!

Fourth-grade beast trainer, eighth-grade beast.

Which means that…

He would be able to summon an Assimilation Realm beast when he reaches seventh grade!?

All of a sudden, Ye Qingwan’s breathing became rapid.

At the same time, Xia Fukun appeared next to her. She took a glance at him and asked, “So the giant flying snake at the Misty Swamp was summoned by you, right?”

Xia Fukun smiled, not answering her question.

Looking at Xia Fukun, a weird feeling arose in Ye Qingwan.

She turned to Xia Fukun again subconsciously.

“Aren’t you worried that I’ll spread your secret?”

Hearing her words, Xia Fukun took a deep breath and looked at Ye Qingwan seriously.

“There are only two types of people in my world: friend or foe. My friends are living, and my foes are dead or soon to be.”

Ye Qingwan jumped up in fear and stared at Xia Fukun.

“So which am I?”

Ye Qingwan had seen many guest masters in this world, as she was part of the Ye family, and most were absolutely cruel. They would do anything for themselves and their benefits.

But for a reason she didn’t know, she secretly hoped that Xia Fukun wasn’t such a person.

Xia Fukun smiled at Ye Qingwan’s question.

“You’re the third type.”

“Third type?” Ye Qingwan was slightly taken aback.

“Mm, you’re my woman.”

“Get lost!” Ye Qingwan furrowed her eyebrows and sulked.

“Haha!” Xia Fukun laughed out loud before turning to Yang Guo, who was in despair.

He had vowed to Bu Peng that, with him here, the young mercenaries would surely be taken down. However, he never would’ve thought that…

Both of them are beast trainers! What’s even worse is that the guy can summon a beast that’s way beyond his grade!

I could understand if a fourth-grade beast trainer summoned a fifth-grade beast, but this is an eighth-grade beast!

Even if you want to cheat, isn’t that too much?

I’m Yang Guo, a Warrior Realm martial artist who uses dirty tricks – no, I mean, a sword as my weapon, and it’s impossible for me to defeat an eighth-grade beast.

Very soon, Yang Guo was defeated by the Fire Python Tiger that Xia Fukun summoned.

“I’ll give you another chance, do you have anything valuable on you?” Looking at Yang Guo, who was on his deathbed, …

Chapter 26 – Grade Eight Fire Python Tiger!

“Hahaha! The Bu Peng family is really stupid. I wonder why they still think I’m going to make them Blood Grains.”

Having the thought that he’d be able to make his deal with the demon so effortlessly, Yao Duwan was giddy with excitement.

At the same time, Xia Fukun and Ye Qingwan managed to sneak into the Bu Peng family.

“Where are we going?” After entering the Bu Peng family, Xia Fukun asked Ye Qingwan.

“To the place where the yin energy is strongest,” Ye Qingwan said after some thought.

The yin energy in the Bu Peng family was unlike how it should be when one made Blood Grain. It was so strong that it was as if a demon was going to make an appearance.

“Okay.” Xia Fukun nodded.

He had no opinions anyway. Thus, he followed Ye Qingwan closely.

As long as it’s not a Heaven Realm martial artist, I should be able to handle anyone, as long as I’m not killed before I can summon a beast.

Just as both of them were prepared to make a move, a figure came to them under the moonlight.

“Greetings. May I know your reason for trailing after us?”

It was none other than the Bu Peng family’s guest master.

Bu Peng ordered for him to be here to prevent Yao Duwan from being disturbed during the crucial moment.

“A Warrior Realm….” Feeling the energy waves from the man, Ye Qingwan’s face fell.

She might have been a sixth-grade beast trainer who possessed power equivalent to a Warrior Realm, but she was not experienced as a combat beast trainer, so it might be hard for her to win in a battle like this.

“Are you the dog of the Bu Peng family?”

Before Ye Qingwan could say anything, Xia Fukun stepped out. He was similarly aware that the man was in the Warrior Realm. However, unlike Ye Qingwan, he was not bothered by it.

“How rude!” the guest master rebuked angrily and pulled out his sword. Under the moonlight, the sword shined brightly.

“A martial artist who has a sword as a weapon….” Ye Qingwan’s face fell again.

There were differences between martial artists of the same realm. Most martial artists fought with only their skills; normally, only a martial artist who had reached the Supreme Realm would make use of a weapon. Since the martial artist in front of them had a sword as a weapon, then he would probably be much more difficult to deal with compared to ordinary Warrior Realm martial artists!

“Don’t play around with him, let’s get rid of him right away.” Having a stronger sense than Ye Qingwan, Xia Fukun could feel that the yin energy was getting stronger, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

After saying that to Ye Qingwan, he summoned out his Super Strength Ape.

The Super Strength Ape might have only been a fourth-grade beast, which was equivalent to a martial artist at …

Chapter 25 – Conspiracy

After exiting the guild, Bu Peng left on a horse carriage.

Other than him, the Bu Peng family’s guest master was sitting inside too.

Just like the bodyguards that the wealthy men on Earth had, the guest master was hired with a huge sum.

The guest master was a martial artist in the Warrior Realm. With the Bu Peng family’s wealth, it was not a big deal to hire him.

“Master, there seems to be a few people trailing after us. Should I get rid of them now?” The guest master sat with his arms folded and a sword in his hands. With his eyes slightly shut, he had the bearing of a strong martial artist.

“A few people?” Bu Peng linked the stalkers to Xia Fukun and the group subconsciously. “Hehe, there’s no need to rush. Let’s return to the family first. This is the capital after all. There are too many eyes here. The lord won’t let you off if you take action against them now. Let’s head back, we can deal with them later on.”

“Okay.”

Xia Fukun and Ye Qingwan would never have thought that they would be discovered as soon as they started following Bu Peng.

As for Bu Peng, he did not think of Xia Fukun and the group as anything more than ordinary mercenaries. If he was aware of Ye Qingwan’s and Qingmu Xuan’s identities, he would definitely dare not give such an order.

After all, as a Yaslan Empire citizen, who would wish to offend the strongest man in the Yaslan Empire?

The Bu Peng family was not located far from the capital, so it did not take much time for Bu Peng, as well as Xia Fukun’s group who were trailing behind him, to arrive at the Bu Peng family.

“Should we go in?” Xia Fukun asked Ye Qingwan.

“There’s no rush. Since we’re sure that Bu Peng’s back at his family and the Blood God’s Blossom is there, we can find a place to stay the night first.”

Following Ye Qingwan, the trio came to an inn nearby.

“Tonight, you will come with me to the Bu Peng family to check it out. I feel that the place is filled with yin energy.”

Hearing Ye Qingwan’s words, Xia Fukun nodded. Xia Fukun could sense even better than Ye Qingwan, so if Ye Qingwan could feel the yin energy in the Bu Peng family, he obviously felt it even earlier.

However, he was confused about why such a family was filled with yin energy.

Could it be…?

…

Inside the Bu Peng family, Bu Peng stood in front of a guest room.

“Sir, this is the Blood God’s Blossom you have asked for. I hope that you can stick to your promise about the ten Blood Grains!” Bu Peng said through the door cautiously.

“Hehehe….”

Evil laughter could be heard coming from the guest room. The next minute, the door flew open, and Bu Peng was sucked …

Chapter 24 – The Bu Peng Family

Under normal circumstances, Xia Fukun and the group could have just made their way to the mercenary guild to declare the completion of the mission.

However, Ye Qingwan mentioned that she was interested in finding out the identity of the man who was looking for the Blood God’s Blossom to make Blood Grain.

Xia Fukun being the way he was, he obviously went with Ye Qingwan’s idea, and Qingmu Xuan was still a child who did not have any judgement of her own.

Two days later, in the capital of the Yaslan Empire, Xia Fukun and the group finally returned. They first went to a bathhouse to clean themselves up. The Misty Swamp is not a place for humans to stay. Xia Fukun smiled bitterly seeing the insect bites all over his body.

When Xia Fukun exited the bathhouse, he saw that Ye Qingwan and Qingmu Xuan were already waiting for him. They had changed into different clothes too.

Xia Fukun did not pay much attention to Qingmu Xuan. What’s there to see? She’s just a child.

But Ye Qingwan had changed out of her white flowy clothes and was now wearing something akin to a kimono. There were pink cherry blossoms sprinkled all over the clothes, and it brought out the shape of her bosom well. Or perhaps it was Ye Qingwan’s hair that was still slightly wet from the bath that made her look so exceptionally alluring and lovely.

“What are you looking at?” Seeing that Xia Fukun had his eyes plastered on her, Ye Qingwan’s face fell, unhappy with his actions.

“Looking at a beauty….”

Being used to Xia “Speaks Without Thinking” Fukun, Ye Qingwan did not pay any more attention to him.

When the group reached the mercenary guild, Ye Qingwan took out three conical hats. She did not miss out on Xia Fukun’s one this time around. Sensing the difference in Ye Qingwan’s attitude, a proud smile could not help but creep up Xia Fukun’s face.

It’s all going in a good direction!

Qingmu Xuan was dragged away by Ye Qingwan, but she turned around to Xia Fukun and gave him a thumbs up secretly.

In fact, after knowing Ye Qingwan for such a long time, she had never seen Ye Qingwan showing any care to any males.

This was a good sign.

When Qingmu Xuan paid a visit to the Ye family, she saw many arrogant young and handsome talents going after Ye Qingwan. Qingmu Xuan didn’t like any of them though. She might have found Xia Fukun annoying, but it was easier to interact with him in comparison to the other known talents.

And that was the reason why she was helping Xia Fukun get Ye Qingwan.

But it was still up to Xia Fukun and Ye Qingwan to make the relationship blossom.

In the VIP room on the second floor of the mercenary guild, after learning from the guild that the mercenaries who picked up …

Chapter 23 – Crazy Collecting

“Hey! Surprise!”

The bushes rustled ferociously. Right before Ye Qingwan summoned her Flame Sparrow for an attack, a familiar figure leaped out of the bush.

Ye Qingwan: “???”

Qingmu Xuan: “???”

“What’s wrong? Aren’t you surprised to see me?”

Xia Fukun rubbed his nose.

Ye Qingwan took a deep breath, holding in the urge to shout at Xia Fukun.

“What about the Bicephalous Demonic Wolf? How did you escape from it? It’s a beast at the peak of the seventh grade!”

“Escape? Why would I need to do that?” Xia Fukun gave her a wide smile.

“I’m not sure if you saw it, but there was a gigantic eighth-grade beast that appeared out of nowhere, and it swallowed the wolf in an instant. It went that direction afterwards,” Xia Fukun said, pointing toward a direction.

Seeing the direction that Xia Fukun was pointing, Ye Qingwan turned to Qingmu Xuan.

That was indeed the direction that they saw the Hydra flying toward, however…

It still doesn’t make sense!

So, an eighth-grade beast appeared out of nowhere.

It ate the seventh-grade beast.

And left you, this piece of trash, alive?

Ye Qingwan shook her head.

“So, what you mean is that the Bicephalous Demonic Wolf is already dead, and we can carry on with our mission?” Ye Qingwan asked.

By right, if not for the appearance of the Bicephalous Demonic Wolf, Ye Qingwan would not have put a stop to this mission. Other than coming across the Bicephalous Demonic Wolf, it was a smooth mission for them. And if they left now, they wouldn’t know what they might meet with when they came again.

“Mm, but I’m not sure whether the eighth-grade beast will return or not.”

Xia Fukun’s words made Ye Qingwan frown.

When she first saw the Hydra, Xia Fukun never crossed her mind. But now… she was sure that the figure was none other than Xia Fukun!

However, she was unable to believe that.

Ye Qingwan was clear on Xia Fukun’s power. He’s a martial artist at the peak of the Profound Realm and a fourth-grade beast trainer!

Even though Xia Fukun was unlike any other, it was too far-fetched to link him to an eighth-grade beast. Thus, Ye Qingwan could only buy Xia Fukun’s story.

“However, I think I found the Blood God’s Blossom on my way here,” Xia Fukun told Ye Qingwan.

“Oh?” Ye Qingwan took a deep breath. Is this guy really so lucky?

Of course, Xia Fukun wouldn’t be totally honest. Not only did he find the flower, he also got the Hydra to get rid of the sixth-grade beast that was guarding the flower.

“Where is it?” Ye Qingwan asked Xia Fukun.

“Here.”

Xia Fukun took the flower out of his pocket. He stored it in the storage ring originally, but he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to explain where he got the storage ring, thus he put it in his pocket on his way here.

Taking …

Chapter 22 – Give a Reason

“A giant flying snake?”

Well…

To be fair, Ye Qingwan had never seen any snake that could fly, other than the snakes of higher grades that had evolved into dragons, which could fly perfectly. However, the giant snake with nine heads that was about twenty meters long that just flew past them did not have a single feature of a dragon! Furthermore, Ye Qingwan saw a blurry figure standing on the fifth head of the snake. Due to the snake moving at a rapid speed, she could not see it clearly though.

“Why does that figure… seem so familiar?” Ye Qingwan squinted her eyes and turned around. I wonder how that Xia Fukun guy is doing. I hope he can escape safely!

On the Hydra, Xia Fukun sneered when he saw the three mercenaries getting closer.

“Run! Let me see how you run! Damn it! I will make sure I get you after spending eleven refinement points!”

The mercenaries who were running for their lives did not hear Xia Fukun’s words, but they could feel the pressure behind them getting larger. They picked up their speed, running with all their might. It might have been the fastest they had ever run in their lives.

However, it was useless….

How could a Profound Realm or Warrior Realm be competition to a Supreme Realm?

Within the blink of an eye, the Hydra flashed by them, blocking their escape route.

“Run. You can continue. Can you still run?”

Xia Fukun sat on the Hydra’s middle head, holding a fruit that he just picked up while staring at the three mercenaries angrily.

“We are doomed….”

Looking at Xia Fukun and the giant Hydra that was blocking their way, the mercenaries had no other course of action but to stop in their tracks.

“Senior… Senior, what are you doing?” The scar-faced man was in an awkward position now. He was hoping that Xia Fukun was unaware of their motive.

To be honest, if they were aware that Xia Fukun could summon an eighth-grade pet, they would never ever have stalked them in their entire lives!

“What am I doing?” Xia Fukun threw the unfinished fruit at the scar-faced man.

The scar-faced man dared not dodge. He stood there, allowing the fruit to land on his face.

“What are you doing? Why were you following us?”

Hearing Xia Fukun’s words, the scar-faced man took a deep breath.

Of course….

The teenager in front of us can summon an eighth-grade beast as and when he likes, so he must be more than a Profound Realm martial artist. It’s not surprising that he managed to sense our presence.

So what nice lie can allow us to escape his hands safely?

…

I’m called Scarface, and I’m now trembling in fear.

Not only that, but I’m also in deep regret. Why did I not pick up more knowledge when I was in school? I would be able to come up with a better …
