Ata sobbed, "I...I'm not a thing."
Qi An glanced at him, and Ata obediently shut his mouth.
Qiongqi gritted its teeth and said, word by word, "I am the ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi, my full name is Fugui, not Qionggui!"
If it were anyone else, they would dare call him a pauper to his face...
Qiongqi, no, Fugui, had already torn that person to pieces and swallowed him whole.
But after watching the man casually tear open her barrier and feeling the terrifying pressure, Fu Gui ultimately didn't dare to be reckless.
Oh shit.
Wasn't this big shot supposed to be seriously injured?
Why is her aura still so strong?
As expected of a werewolf who dared to defy the heavens at his peak, the rumors are not exaggerated at all.
Fu Gui was starting to have second thoughts. Maybe he should just give the Chaos Tower back to her; his life was more important.
But what Boss Qi said was really hurtful.
"A penniless wretch dares to call himself 'I' in front of me. When I was in power, you were probably begging for food somewhere. If you know what's good for you, return what I have to you, and I'll spare your life."
Fu Gui's chest heaved, and he almost ground his teeth to powder.
A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!
They've already slapped her left cheek until it's swollen, how can she possibly keep offering her right cheek to be slapped?
cannot!
If word gets out, how will she survive in the underworld after she becomes rich?
Fu Gui gritted his teeth, his chest aching from the effort, but finally, overcome by anger, he threw Ata aside and pounced on Qi An with lightning speed.
"Aaaaaah! This is outrageous! I've already told you I'm not a poor wretch, I'll fight you to the death..."
Qi An's lips curled up; she knew it, this guy couldn't handle being provoked.
Coincidentally, she also wanted to test how much her strength had recovered.
Here it is, a ready-made testing stone.
Ata was thrown to the ground and landed on his bottom. Before he could even rub it, he heard a loud "bang" and the two ancient beasts started fighting.
Qi An added another layer of barrier outside Qiongqi's barrier; otherwise, this small world would be completely destroyed after the two of them finished fighting.
The barrier was filled with thick black fog, and the fierce wind was like countless high-speed spinning steel blades, capable of shattering a person's soul in a matter of breaths.
Ata's fair face was cut by the gale, leaving two bloody gashes. He quickly mobilized all his innate spiritual power to protect himself and looked up with a worried expression.
The figures of two little girls stood quietly at opposite ends.
In the middle, two enormous phantoms of divine souls, one red and one green, fiercely tore at each other and fought, colliding and separating with lightning speed.
Lightning and thunder surrounded the area; if it weren't for the barrier, the Tianxuan Sect would have long been reduced to ruins.
That was the most primitive way of fighting for ferocious beasts, without any fancy moves. The scattered, violent power and roars were terrifying and made one's scalp tingle.
The world of ferocious beasts is simple: it's either you die or I die.
The energy fluctuations generated by each collision between the two divine souls made the barrier teeter on the brink of collapse, as if it would explode into pieces at any moment.
Ata, with tears welling up in her eyes, was terrified that Boss Qi would be defeated, and she cursed herself inwardly.
It's all his fault for being playful; that's how he provoked Qiongqi and caused trouble for the boss.
If it were the leader at his peak, he certainly wouldn't have taken Qiongqi seriously, but Ata had personally witnessed her battered body and soul.
Roars and groans could be heard intermittently from the air, clearly indicating that someone was injured.
Ata looked at the two ferocious lumps, her little hands clenched tightly together, and she made up her mind.
If the leader were to be defeated, he would burn through all his power, tearing through the void to send her away.
Aside from always scolding him, lying to him, despising him, disliking him, and stealing his spiritual power, the eldest brother is actually quite good to him... I guess.
This time, Ata will protect you.
Even if it means losing power and intelligence, becoming an ordinary spiritual artifact instead of a supreme innate treasure, and being unable to take human form again, it is all worth it.
After an unknown amount of time, the barrier set up by Qiongqi had long since shattered, and the other barrier was about to disappear as well, the battle finally came to an end.
The red ball of light suddenly surged, beginning to devour the green ball, which struggled and roared incessantly.
The barrier exploded with a loud bang. Without any obstruction, the violent gale scattered, and the spiritual plants in the valley were pulverized in a few breaths.
Seeing that the area was about to expand and the entire Tianxuan Sect was about to be destroyed, the red light ball paused for a moment, and then released its claws.
The transparent barrier rose again, enveloping the destructive power before dissolving away.
The green ball of light narrowly escaped death, swiftly entering Ye Zhen's body before collapsing with a "plop."
Qi An followed closely behind, possessing Ye Ran and landing next to Ye Zhen, where he grabbed her delicate neck from a distance.
Ata leaped up, cheering and hugging Qi An's leg: "Yay! Boss won! I knew my boss was the best!"
Qi An's lips twitched, and he forced himself to swallow the metallic taste in his throat.
Ye Zhen's face was deathly pale, and she spat out several mouthfuls of blood.
Standing beside Qi An, Ata, now emboldened, arrogantly made a face at Fu Gui:
"Serves you right! I told you my boss is super rich, and I'd make her pay you back, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened, you're going to get a good beating..."
A few drops of blood splattered on Qi An. Qi An frowned, about to drag Qiongqi out and beat him again, and then...
Fu Gui lunged forward and grabbed her other leg.
"Senior, no, Brother Qi, Sister An, please take me with you... I can do anything, I'm much better than this useless baby."
Qi An: "..." No, what kind of new tactic is this?
You can't just cheat like this when you're having a proper fight.
Fu Gui's eyes darted around, his mind racing with calculations.
She was too strong. Even with her soul so badly injured, she could still dominate her. She was completely convinced of her defeat.
Most importantly, she is an extremely wealthy person.
Thanks to his name, Qiongqi was born with terrible luck in wealth. No matter how hard he tried, he was always penniless. Even giving himself the grand name "Fugui" (meaning "wealthy and noble") couldn't bring him any money.
However, this senior, Ya Zi, was completely the opposite of her.
How rich are they? So rich that even Heaven itself can't stand it.
She also has a whole group of demon brothers who work for her to earn money.
Did the mighty Qiongqi bow down to Yazi?
No, it's for the God of Wealth.
Who can resist going in and prostrating themselves before the God of Wealth when passing by a temple?
Anyway, wealth can't be resisted.
She prayed to countless gods of wealth, but it was all to no avail, as she was destined to be poor.
She felt that being a ferocious beast required being more materialistic and practical.
Maybe by following the Demon King, I can get a formal position and have a better chance of escaping poverty, at least enough to make ends meet.
Working odd jobs without any security is exhausting; I often don't know where my next meal will come from.
In the face of a true God of Wealth, what is face? How much is it per pound?
Besides, she can't beat them, so why suffer for the sake of saving face?
Once she's rich, let's see who dares to laugh at her for being incredibly poor.
Fu Gui looked at Qi An with her bright, sparkling eyes: "Rich sister, I'm hungry, I need food."
Ata instantly bristled and pushed Fugui hard: "I disagree. Boss, I'm enough. You're the useless one."
Fu Gui wiped the blood from his mouth and said sincerely, "I'm not here to break you up, I'm here to join you."
