Chapter 1433 - What Did You Do To Her?

Chapter 1433 - What Did You Do To Her?

Xantanla's residence didn't have any guards to speak of. To be more exact, it was basically a big building separated into two parts. One part was a huge open area that allowed very big things to fit inside. That was the area Xantanla used when she was in her demon beast form. The other part was a normal-sized residence for when Xantanla was in her human form.

Although it didn't have any guards, there were still two female cultivators who worked for her on other things related to the house. It was one of them that attended Rean and Roan when they appeared. She then guided the twins to where Xantanla was resting while talking to them, "You want to buy Xantanla's Molten Divine Rock Flowers? I'm sorry, but I find it quite hard to succeed. Also... are you sure you want to even get close to her?"

Rean nodded in response, although he didn't know why everyone was so afraid of getting close to the female demon beast. "It's fine. If she doesn't sell it, we'll just enter the Blazing Sands and look for the flowers ourselves."

Not long after, the twins were brought to the part of the residence where Xantanla could stay in her real form. As for Kentucky, he simply waited outside.

Eventually, the twins were able to see what kind of demon beast Xantanla belonged to. She was a Desert Fire Queen Dog. Well, in Rean's opinion, she simply looked like a very oversized beagle with fiery red fur, not that Xantanla would know what a beagle was since it was a species from back on Earth. 'Quite cute...' he thought while looking at her.

Xantanla, who seemed to be sleeping, finally opened her eyes, muttering, "Hmm? It shouldn't be the time for snacks yet."

Rean and Roan's mouths twitched in response. Did that mean she ate people from the humanoid races as snacks? Oh well, since humanoid races ate the meat of demon beasts, it did make sense that demon beasts ate meat from the humanoid races in exchange. This wasn't Earth, after all. Well, to be more specific, the big carnivores from Earth would definitely eat humans if they were hungry and were given a chance.

Rean and Roan then put those thoughts behind them before Rean stated the reason for his visit. "We got information from the Vulture Organization that you might have some Molten Divine Rock Flowers."

Xantanla narrowed her eyes in response, saying, "I do have some, but I need them for my cultivation. If that's all, you can leave already. They're not for sale."

Rean smiled after hearing that. "Are you sure? I'm pretty confident that I can pay for them even if you ask for some ridiculous price. That's how much we're in need of them at the moment."

Xantanla found it quite hard to believe. "Hmph! Is that so? Then what about 50 Rank Two Divine Stones each? It's more than double the price. Will you pay for it? Hahaha!"

Rean's eyes lit up after hearing that. Isn't that half the price they paid to Arfs? "Oh! How many do you have, then?"

Xantanla's laugh froze when she heard that. "Wait! Are you really willing to pay that much?"

Rean nodded without thinking twice. "We need fifteen of those flowers. You don't happen to have this many, do you? I have 750 Rank Two Divine Stones here with me."

"This..." Xantanla's impression of the twins quickly changed. Even her, with her connections and position, didn't have half as many Rank Two Divine Stones. She wondered if Rean and Roan were part of some of the several big powers of the Treavin Continent. One must remember that Treavin didn't have one main power that stood out from the rest, like Lanqueas and Huring. That meant the twins could be pretty much from any of the others who had similar strength in their own regions. "Who are you?"

Roan shook his head, saying, "Who we are doesn't matter. What matters is whether you have the flowers or not. We have the Divine Stones, so we would like to pay and just leave."

Xantanla didn't like Roan's behavior and wondered if she should just kill them and take the Divine Stones for herself. She was at the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm, but that wasn't all. With her terrain advantage, she could even fight some cultivators and demon beasts at the Initial and Middle Stages of the Void Tempering Realm. Naturally, if she could keep the flowers and the twins' Divine Stones, that would be the best since she needed both.

The twins then saw the red color of killing intent surrounding them and obviously knew why it was there. Rean then smiled at Xantanla before saying, "Please ignore my brother's behavior. He's like this to everyone, and that includes me, his own flesh and blood."

Rean changed the topic straight away after that. "Leaving that aside, Lady Xantanla is so cute. Your fur is so shiny with its fiery red color. At first, I didn't intend to pay too much for the flowers. But as soon as I saw you, I made up my mind that I would try to please you however I could. Just... would Lady Xantanla let me pet her fur a little? I simply love it."

In an instant, the red color of killing intent disappeared like smoke. No one ever treated this terrifying Peak Stage Transition Realm demon beast like that before. Unlike Rean, who thought of her as a cute red beagle with big ears, others only saw a 'humanoid race eating' demon beast that few had the courage to get close to. "W-w-w-what are you even talking about, brat?! Are you making fun of me? I'm a Desert Fire Queen Dog!"

However, Rean got close to Xantanla as his eyes shone brightly. "So cute... Just let me stroke you a little bit. I swear it won't be for long. How about this? I'll pay an extra ten Rank Two Divine Stones for the flowers if you let me pet you a little. Twenty if you let me hug you!"

Xantanla felt a chill on her back and immediately jumped back. At that moment, the only thing she wanted to do was to get away from him as far as possible. "S-s-s-stay away from me, pervert!"

Xantanla's servants looked at that with shook in their faces. 'Who is that? What did you do with Xantanla?'
