Chapter 456: Chapter 456: No Way to Succeed?
What a joke, this is Iron Face’s treasured spiritual pet. If the Wind-Chasing Fox kills it, Fang Hu would be done for.
Wishing to foster good relations?
Go eat shit!
Fang Hu hurried forwards, while Jiang Xiaobai was already prepared to step in.
At the critical moment, the Wind-Chasing Fox extended its tongue and licked the puppy’s head. Its humanoid expression was filled with reverence and doting!
What is going on?!
“Woof!”
The puppy barked cheerfully, its tail wagging like a motor.
Immediately afterwards, the Wind-Chasing Fox respectfully knelt down, resting its head on the ground as if paying homage to a king.
And this puppy, audacious as ever, jumped straight onto the head of the Wind-Chasing Fox while continuing to yelp at Jiang Xiaobai.
Everyone was flabbergasted by such a turn of events.
“This…”
Jiang Xiaobai was momentarily stunned, quickly turning to Fang Hu for an explanation.
Fang Hu stood rigid in place, staring unblinkingly at the puppy atop the Wind-Chasing Fox’s head, his eyes filled with shock.
He understood what was happening.
“Sir, this is incredible. This spiritual beast is extraordinary!”
Fang Hu regained his bearings, looking at Jiang Xiaobai excitedly: “Generally speaking, spiritual beasts can sense each other’s bloodlines. In the world of spiritual beasts, one’s status is not determined by strength but by their bloodline!”
“The Wind-Chasing Fox showed such respect presumably because of his bloodline!”
These words caused a stir among the crowd.
After all, the Wind-Chasing Fox’s rating was already divine, which is nearly the highest level in this world.
And the puppy’s bloodline was even stronger than that of the Wind-Chasing Fox?
What in the world is that?
Above divine?
Jiang Xiaobai too couldn’t hide his amused smile, “No wonder you’re so odd. We still have no idea what you are or what use you might have.”
With a slight chuckle, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and approached the cage to observe the interaction between the puppy and the Wind-Chasing Fox.
And just as Fang Hu described, the Wind-Chasing Fox treated the puppy with respect and doting.
“Who would have believed there would be spiritual beasts stronger than the divine class? Had it not been for our meeting with the Sir, we would not have witnessed such a scene!” Fang Hu couldn’t help but exclaim.
After watching for a while, Ao Yan strode into the cage, gently stroking the smooth fur of the Wind-Chasing Fox.
The sensation was pretty good, and the large body of the Wind-Chasing Fox felt comforting to the touch.
Then Ao Yan turned towards Jiang Xiaobai – her meaning was clear.
Jiang Xiaobai nodded immediately:” Alright, since you like it, let’s take this one home.”
The rest was simple, Mr.Qian couldn’t wait to gift Jiang Xiaobai the things he wanted.
Thus, the important task of the trip had been accomplished. Jiang Xiaobai had intended to leave quickly after the job was done.
But in the end, with Ao Yan by his side, how could he miss such a great opportunity to relax and have fun?
Even though Ao Cheng was present as a third wheel, Jiang Xiaobai expressed that he was understanding.
In the evening, Mr.Qian held a banquet for all. After the feast, Jiang Xiaobai approached Mr.Qian.
“Mr.Qian, do you know what this is?”
Jiang Xiaobai proceeded to produce a black stone from his hand; the World Stone he acquired at the market that very day.
To his surprise, Mr.Qian instantly recognized it.
“Seen it before, it’s a mysterious stone. My family has a lot of them, all bought from others who got them. We don’t know what it does, we just know it’s indestructible!”
“Hold on, Sir, I’ll have someone bring it to you!”
Soon, five world stones were laid in front of Jiang Xiaobai who was overjoyed.
It seems that the search for World Stones wasn’t as hard as he thought?
“Thank you, Mr. Qian.”
“No need for thanks, Sir! It’s a rare visit from you, why don’t you tour around? The scenery around here is beautiful, and there are plenty of fun places to visit!”
“Conveniently, my daughter will be returning tomorrow. I’d like her to meet with you, Sir. After all, in the future, the Qian Family affairs will be handled by them.”
Jiang Xiaobai understood Mr.Qian’s intentions. As long-term partners, getting to know each other was necessary.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Xiaobai returned to his room.
Looking at the empty room, he felt like crying.
Where is Ao Yan?
Just as he was wondering, Ao Yan suddenly barged in the door and removed the black robe she was wearing.”
“I don’t know how you can bear to wear this thing all the time.”
Ao Yan muttered her complaints and then silence fell between them.
The atmosphere turned awkward.
“Uh, it’s getting late, how about we get some rest? We can go out and explore tomorrow,” Jiang Xiaobai suggested.
To his surprise, Ao Yan agreed directly. Not only that, she went straight to the bed and lay down.
There was even a gap left for Jiang Xiaobai!
Jiang Xiaobai was utterly stunned!
“Hehe, I have a great wife!”
Without hesitation, he lay down next to Ao Yan. This kind of advantage would be foolish not to take. Even if Ao Yan was going to beat him up, he wouldn’t have it another way.
Ao Yan didn’t make a sound, but Jiang Xiaobai could sense her body stiffen.
“Don’t make a move, or you can try the consequences.”
A chilly voice came from Ao Yan. “Our prior agreement still stands. There, that’ll do. I’m going to sleep.”
“Oh.”
Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t too bothered. Even if it was past his bedtime, who cares?
He was not afraid. Continuing like this he’d soon catch up to Ao Yan’s cultivation level.
Being able to be this close to Ao Yan made him satisfied, it was clear their relationship was progressing quickly!
But what he didn’t know was that Ao Yan, throughout the entire night, didn’t even think of resting, let alone cultivating!
She remained extremely stiff and managed to endure till dawn.
In the early morning, Jiang Xiaobai came out of his room refreshed, only to be taken by surprise by Ao Cheng standing outside.
“God damn it, are you fucking insane? Eavesdropping?”
Jiang Xiaobai rolled up his sleeves ready to beat him up. Terrific, Ao Cheng was behaving more and more shamelessly.
“Did it work?” Ao Cheng asked excitingly.
Jiang Xiaobai’s mouth twitched: “Are you dreaming?”
“Tsk, Jiang Xiaobai, you’re really useless. My sister was like that, and you could have just gone with the flow, and everything would be set.”
Hiss!
Jiang Xiaobai stared at Ao Cheng in shock. He hadn’t noticed until now that his brother-in-law was being a bit of a turncoat.
“Never mind, let’s not talk about that. There’s a good show outside. A group of experts from the Qian Family has arrived and they’re treating the Qian family like dirt. Come on, let’s go and watch the fun!”
Having said that, Ao Cheng dragged Jiang Xiaobai out with him.
