What?! Mo Huaiyu’s eyes widened. “Thirty percent is mine?!”
“Senior Sister, isn’t taking seventy percent a bit unreasonable?”
Mo Huaiyu protested. However, An Ruojun gave a delicate snort and said indifferently, “Fine, if you have objections, brat, how about I take ninety and you take ten? Do you feel the love coming from your Senior Sister?”
How is it getting even less?!
Mo Huaiyu said angrily, “Senior Sister, even a rabbit will bite if forced into a corner. Don’t push me.”
The way the youth spoke, combined with his youthful face, sounded “milk-ferocious”—utterly adorable rather than intimidating, which only made people want to tease him more.
An Ruojun extended a jade-white hand toward Mo Huaiyu and said, “Go ahead, bite.”
Infuriating! Does she really take me for a pushover?
Just as his anger meter was about to max out, An Ruojun continued to provoke him: “Even if I let you bite, brat, other than covering my hand in drool, what else can you do?”
As she spoke, An Ruojun moved closer to Mo Huaiyu.
The overwhelming pressure like a mountain bore down on him, obscuring half his field of vision.
Facing such immense pressure, Mo Huaiyu couldn’t help but gulp and take half a step back.
She was at the Cave Heaven Realm; even if she stood completely still, it would be difficult for Mo Huaiyu to break through her defense.
“Sister, Mo Junior Brother did discover this treasure, after all,” An Ruoxi spoke up for Mo Huaiyu at this moment.
“I know that, of course.”
An Ruojun looked at the little milk dog who was beginning to panic, feeling utterly delighted.
For some reason, seeing the youth look so furious yet utterly helpless against her made her heart tremble with excitement.
In the end, Mo Huaiyu obtained forty percent of the treasure.
Although it wasn’t as much as he hoped, it was better than the previous ten percent.
He owed it to Ruoxi for fighting for his benefit.
The remaining sixty percent was split equally between An Ruojun and An Ruoxi.
However, just as Mo Huaiyu was silently thanking Ruoxi, on the other side, An Ruojun was telepathically communicating with her sister:
Ruoxi, how is it?
I told you, as soon as men have money, they turn bad.
Look at this brat, he’s only gotten forty percent and is already happy enough to fly to heaven!
That’s right!
This was all a setup devised by the two sisters, An Ruojun and An Ruoxi.
Back when the three were looking for the treasure, An Ruojun had secretly messaged her sister, saying they absolutely could not let the brat get all the treasure, otherwise, he would definitely sneak around behind Ruoxi’s back to find other women, citing many similar cases within the Spirit Sect.
At that, even An Ruoxi’s heart wavered.
Just imagining Mo Junior Brother falling into another woman’s arms in the future made her feel deeply miserable.
Thus, the two women played “good cop, bad cop,” setting up a trap for the completely oblivious Mo Huaiyu.
I’m sorry, Mo Junior Brother.
An Ruoxi secretly reproached herself.
“Ruoxi Sister, what’s wrong? You look lost,” Mo Huaiyu said happily while accepting the spiritual stones, magical treasures, and pills, suddenly noticing An Ruoxi’s depressed expression.
“It’s nothing.”
An Ruoxi bit her red lips and ultimately said nothing, concealing the truth.
By the time the three returned to the City Lord’s Manor, it was already late at night.
……
City Lord’s Manor.
“Luo’er, are you saying a Dao Platform Realm youth beat you into this state?”
City Lord Sun Lie stood before the bed, looking at his son’s severe injuries, his eyes gloomy.
In Tianshui City, to think someone dared not to give him face!
“Father! You must uphold justice for me!”
Sun Luo groaned bitterly.
“These are extraordinary times, but rest assured, Luo’er, Father will avenge you.”
Currently, quite a few core disciples from the Spirit Sect had arrived.
Acting recklessly according to their past style definitely wouldn’t work; therefore, they had to endure.
After checking on his son’s injuries, Sun Lie left the room and entered a secret chamber, where two figures were already seated.
As soon as he sat down, Sun Lie spoke: “A core disciple of the Spirit Sect has died. Third Brother, didn’t I tell you to restrain yourself?!”
Hearing this, the burly man rubbed his bald head and said, “It couldn’t be helped. Who told that kid’s spiritual root to be so tempting? I couldn’t resist.”
“Sigh. Eldest Brother, among the three of us, Third Brother’s cultivation technique is too deep; it’s normal for him not to be able to resist.
However, Third Brother has wiped away all traces thoroughly.
I assume it won’t be traced back to us.”
A young man spoke, raising his hand.
If Mo Huaiyu were here, he would be absolutely shocked, for this youth was none other than Yan Nantian, who had been dealt with by An Ruoxi.
However, the one An Ruoxi dealt with was only his avatar.
“I hope so. Third Brother, if you make a mistake again, don’t blame me for not being merciful.”
As Sun Lie spoke, a sinister energy swept through the secret chamber.
The burly man immediately trembled.
“I understand, Eldest Brother, rest assured, I will definitely not do it again!”
Suddenly, a paper crane flew into the secret chamber.
Sun Lie extended a hand to catch it, opened it, and was instantly stunned.
“Eldest Brother, what does it say?”
Yan Nantian asked.
Sun Lie’s face was ugly.
“Tomorrow, the Peak Master of the Hundred Flowers Peak of our sect will lead people here to thoroughly investigate the Demon Sect matter.”
As soon as he spoke, all three faces were filled with horror.
“How can it be so fast?!”
Sun Lie now looked as if he had eaten three kilograms of feces.
“Eldest Brother, what should we do?”
The burly man asked, his tone panicked, for he had personally killed a core disciple of the Spirit Sect.
“As things stand, let’s withdraw tonight!”
Sun Lie said, seemingly reluctant.
“It seems I will have no choice but to leave Tianshui City tonight.”
“Eldest Brother, before we withdraw, we mustn’t let go of that Hundred Flowers Fairy from the Spirit Sect.” Yan Nantian had fought An Ruoxi today.
Just feeling her spiritual energy made him extremely excited.
Such wonderful spiritual energy—her spiritual root must be of top quality!
“Naturally.”
Sun Lie wouldn’t easily let go of the Hundred Flowers Fairy either.
She was a fat sheep!
Holding the Hundred Flowers Fairy hostage would definitely allow them to extort a large amount of spiritual treasures from the Spirit Sect and make a fortune.
“Third Brother, go to the treasury now, take all the spiritual treasures, and then come to the City Lord’s Manor to rendezvous.
You still remember where the treasury is, right?”
“I… I understand…”
“Eh? Third Brother, why are you sweating profusely again?”
“Haha, it’s a bit hot, it’s fine. I… I’ll go right away.”
……
“Hmm-hmm~”
An Ruojun was humming a tune, which, paired with her pleasant voice, was truly beautiful to listen to.
However, to Mo Huaiyu, it sounded like the whisper of a demon king.
My spiritual stones… so many spiritual stones…
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but clutch his chest, nearly coughing up blood.
Just as Mo Huaiyu returned to the City Lord’s Manor, he happened to run into the City Lord.
“Eh? Why is the City Lord out in the middle of the night…”
Before Mo Huaiyu could finish speaking, when he saw the youth behind the City Lord, his pupils contracted instantly.
It was the Pavilion Master of Chunfeng Pavilion from today!
Didn’t he die at Ruoxi’s hands?!
Sun Lie was equally bewildered.
The three had just finished discussing, the burly man had flown off to get the spiritual treasures from the treasury, and Yan Nantian was just about to leave, never expecting to run straight into Mo Huaiyu’s group just returning.
“Attack!”
