Fang Ruotang, a frail and unremarkable girl from the Prime Minister’s household,
one day found herself pestered by a tiny, cutesy creature called the Mirror of Reversal—
and it star...
"Why don't you think about it again? This is, after all, the territory of demonic beasts. There are a lot of these furry creatures here, and you can't possibly take them all. If you like them, let's stand here and look at them a little longer, okay?"
Oh no! I'm going to buy him.
Fang Ruotang pouted, looking unhappy.
"It's not like I can't afford it, why are you stopping me?"
But too much fur isn't good either! If you go out with a bunch of strangely shaped orcs following you, will it look good?
Isn't it exceptionally good-looking and impressive?
Rong Xing: ...
You can't win an argument.
She couldn't stand Fang Ruotang's gaze either.
Most importantly, Fang Ruotang simply didn't listen to his opinions. Even though he disagreed, she still followed the demon-catching team.
Du Zhong patted Rong Xing on the shoulder with an air of superiority.
"Accept your fate!"
The sect leaders' love lives are something that the sect disciples often want to observe.
It's hard to judge.
After all, from their perspective of having lived for over a thousand years, it was astonishing that six men were truly devoted to the sect leader. As for the sect leader, well, he was mostly clueless.
Therefore, whenever the disciples of the sect were tired, they liked to watch several men chasing after their wives.
This can be considered a perk for disciples of the Tianyi Sect!
Fang Ruotang swung her arms and followed the demon-catching team. Unlike the others who kept a distance, she squeezed almost into the middle, practically standing next to the white fox.
The demon-catching team members pushed Fang Ruotang hard.
"Get out of here, what are you looking at?"
Fang Ruotang stood rooted to the spot, the demon-catching team couldn't budge her at all. She opened her big eyes and retorted, "What's wrong with me looking at him? You're holding him up like this, like you're parading him through the streets. Isn't that just for people to see?"
The white fox's silent gaze fell on Fang Ruotang's face.
Fang Ruotang looked up at a pair of amber eyes and thought they were much prettier than her own dark, big eyes, especially now that they were standing in the sunlight.
"Hello!" Fang Ruotang waved her hand and said excitedly, "You're so beautiful."
"Get out of the way!" The demon-catching team immediately lashed out at Fang Ruotang with their whips.
Fang Ruotang still looked silly, waving at the white fox. The white fox's pupils contracted slightly, thinking that this human's fate should be very tragic.
After all, this person doesn't seem to be very bright.
Rong Xing stepped forward, grabbed the whip, and lashed it out.
Even though I wrapped my palm with spiritual energy, it still stung and left a bloody mark.
Rong Xing stared at the demon-catching team wielding their whips, saying nothing harsh, but his actions were even more ruthless. He directly summoned a strange fire, and a magical artifact was burned to ashes.
Although this whip is not a particularly good magical artifact, it is not an ordinary artifact either. It is not so fragile that it would be burned to ashes by a single fire, or even in a few breaths.
Upon seeing this, the white fox's eyes flickered, and it finally looked directly at Fang Ruotang.
Fang Ruotang continued to smile, and seeing the white fox staring at her again, she asked, "You're beautiful, I want you to be my pet, would you agree?"
A hint of ferocity flashed in the white fox's eyes.
He didn't say anything.
Fang Ruotang said to herself, "If you don't say anything, that means you agree!"
"Why did you arrest him? What are you going to do with him? Can I buy him?"
Fang Ruotang seemed to be completely oblivious to the situation.
At this moment, the group of five, including the white fox in the middle, were surrounded by the demon-catching team, which had a slightly larger number of more than ten people.
Although it appeared to be a case of the majority besieging the minority, the difference in numbers was not significant. Fang Ruotang did not perceive any danger, and the others were even more so.
Without saying a word, Ancestor Yan Yun and Ancestor Murong immediately released their Mahayana stage cultivation. Surely they couldn't just randomly encounter a group of people who were all at the peak of the Mahayana stage?
The demon-hunting team struggled to hold them off, while the onlookers had already retreated.
Neither Ancestor Yan Yun nor Ancestor Murong harmed any innocent people. Only the members of the demon-catching team faced the pressure head-on. The captain, whose cultivation was clearly higher, said with a bluish-purple face, "Is this your first time in Black Peak City? Don't you know the rules of our arena?"
"A gladiatorial arena?" Fang Ruotang tilted her head. Just hearing the name, she knew what it was about, but she was still puzzled: "Why did your gladiatorial arena arrest him?"
"This is a matter for our arena. I advise you to stop, or don't even think about leaving Black Peak City alive."
Fang Ruotang looked at the person who was already pressed to the ground by the pressure of the Mahayana stage, but still raised his head and said harsh words to her.
He remained silent for a moment.
They're quite dedicated, actually.
"Okay then! Can I ask you for a favor? Could you do me a favor and sell him to me now?"
Fang Ruotang stepped forward, and a pair of shoes adorned with pearls appeared before his eyes. The pearls were beautiful blue and contained spiritual energy. Upon closer inspection, he was startled to discover that they were actually mermaid pearls.
He looked up abruptly, a hint of fear in his eyes.
Who are you?
"Tianyi Sect, Fang Ruotang."
Fang Ruotang noticed a hint of confusion in his blank eyes.
He explained very considerately, "It's a force from the Eastern Territory. Just know that it's an extremely powerful sect. I'm the sect leader of the Tianyi Sect!"
Fang Ruotang held her head high, looking proud.
The person lying on the ground, with their aching neck, thought angrily, "Your sect is so powerful, is this how you beg for help in such a humiliating way?"
Look, look.
Is this how you beg for help?
The demon-catching team members cursed inwardly, but their faces remained slightly lowered. Except for the captain, none of them even raised their faces, for fear that raising their faces would reveal their resentment.
After all, when they are in a weaker position, they are not so tough as to risk their lives to fight for superiority.
Is it just the Tianyi Sect?
A powerful force in the Eastern Territory.
How come they've never heard of it?
Although the captain found it strange, he wasn't blind. Besides, they were all lying on the ground, so this sect must be powerful. Otherwise, how could they have a cultivator at the Mahayana stage in charge?
When did the Cloud Deep Continent have cultivators at the Mahayana stage?
Even ancestral beings at the Tribulation Transcending stage rarely venture out, let alone those at the Mahayana stage who haven't been seen for two thousand years.
Not only the demon-catching team members thought a lot, but the onlookers did too, and all their scrutinizing gazes fell on Fang Ruotang and her group.
Fang Ruotang felt no discomfort whatsoever; instead, she straightened her back.
She's a show-off and doesn't play the game of hiding her identity, after all, she can't guarantee that everyone she meets is observant.
She doesn't have any particular preferences. She doesn't like the drama of being bullied and then fighting back fiercely. She prefers to let everyone know from the beginning that she is superior.
It is sacred and inviolable.
The only exception is when I want to go fishing and I've got my eye on someone else's storage bag.
"So how many spirit stones do I need to buy him? I really like him, just name your price! If it's reasonable, I'll take him with me!"
Fang Ruotang raised the corners of her mouth in a standard smile, looking like a clever person who was very good at bargaining.
