"Who said that? I'm not waiting for him!"
Su Xiaorou directly denied it.
Zhang Qiang wanted to laugh but held it back.
He watched Su Xiaorou grow up, so how could he not understand her thoughts?
They just didn't say it outright.
"Oh, I see. I misunderstood. Since we're not waiting for Mr. Lu, shouldn't we leave?"
“We’ve been here quite a while now, it’s about time…”
Zhang Qiang deliberately stopped there.
Su Xiaorou casually ate a few bites of food, her eyes darting around.
Then her eyes lit up, and she came up with an idea for a legitimate way to get close to Lu Yuan.
"Uncle Qiang, let's go check out that secret realm later."
Su Xiaorou finally revealed her purpose.
Zhang Qiang feigned surprise:
"A secret realm? Is it the secret realm that Mr. Lu went to?"
Su Xiaorou brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, feigning nonchalance, yet also revealing a hint of curiosity and surprise:
"Did he go to that secret realm? How would I know? I'm just curious and want to go see for myself, not to find him."
"This is like trying to hide something obvious," Zhang Qiang understood Su Xiaorou's meaning; girls are naturally shy.
“Young Miss, that secret realm is controlled by the seven major powers of Xuanwu City. I’m afraid even Mr. Lu might not be able to enter it.”
Su Xiaorou shook her head:
“He will definitely get in. I believe in him. We will wait for him outside the secret area.”
Zhang Qiang nodded. The young lady was right. Lu Yuan was an S-rank expert, so it wasn't surprising that he could enter.
but,……
"Wait a minute! The young lady just said it wasn't for..."
"Could it be???"
When her lie was exposed, Su Xiaorou blushed, but she refused to admit it.
"What, what! Did I say anything? You misheard me, I didn't say anything! Hurry up and eat, we'll leave after we finish eating!"
Zhang Qiang:…………
Meanwhile, in the secret realm!
"Everyone be careful, this is an S-rank magical beast."
Huang Weisheng quickly began to remind everyone.
Upon hearing that it was an S-rank magical beast, everyone's eyes gleamed with greed, but no one was willing to be the first to stand up for it.
After all, S-rank magical beasts are not easy to deal with; if you can't handle them, you'll get hurt.
Liu Feifei's eyes darted around, looking at Lu Yuan, who rarely made a move:
“Mr. Lu, why don’t you deal with this magical beast? Let us witness the power of your divine beast.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately began to echo them.
Lu Yuan smiled. This was a test of his strength, which suited him perfectly. He had been prepared to make a move as soon as the magical beast appeared.
Who wouldn't love an S-rank magical beast?
"Divine image, information!"
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, he received information about the S-rank magical beast in front of him.
Monster Name: Demonized Armadillo
Monster Level: S
Attack skills: ...
The armadillo (pronounced qiu yu), also known as the "armored rat," has armor made up of many small bone plates.
Each bone fragment is covered with a layer of keratinous material, making it exceptionally hard.
"Okay, no problem!"
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, then let Bai Ling go up.
"Bai Ling, you go! Remember, leave your corpse intact!"
Lu Yuan looked at the big guy with amusement. As long as he killed this thing, he could add another S-rank pet to his pet encyclopedia.
"roar!"
Bai Ling let out a long howl and then charged directly at the armadillo. The armadillo was covered in armor and had sharp limbs, so it was not afraid of Bai Ling.
Or perhaps the magical beasts in this secret realm don't know what fear is, and so, the two magical beasts wrestled together.
However, the armadillo also has a weakness, which is its neck. In just three rounds, it was choked by Bai Ling.
"this……"
"My God, this is so insane!"
"It seems we have a chance to clear the secret realm."
"Yes, that's great! I really want to end this secret realm soon."
Immediately, everyone started talking about it. Some were shocked, some were happy, and some were jealous, each thinking their own thoughts.
"Hey, I'll buy this magical beast of yours. I can take it back and make a suit of armor."
Just as everyone was shocked and Lu Yuan was preparing to collect his spoils, Zhang Bo spoke up.
Lu Yuan was taken aback; he really wanted to see how many soul crystals an S-rank magical beast was worth.
How much are you giving?
Zhang Bo held up one finger:
"One thousand soul crystals!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's lips twitched.
An S-rank magical beast, and a treasure trove from head to toe, worth a thousand soul crystals—how could I possibly ask for that?
The reason Zhang Bo quoted this price was mainly because Lu Yuan came from a very remote rural area, and he wanted to take advantage of him.
"Not for sale!"
Lu Yuan uttered two words.
Zhang Bo didn't take Lu Yuan's rejection seriously, instead thinking that Lu Yuan was trying to sell at a higher price.
"This price is already quite high, you should reconsider! No one else will offer a higher price than me."
"Everyone, how about I have this magical armadillo? Consider it a favor I, Zhang Bo, owe you all!"
After Zhang Bo finished speaking, he was about to step forward to pick up the armadillo's carcass.
The others also fell silent. Although several people wanted it too, Zhang Bo had already made his point, so it was difficult for them to place an offer.
However, Lu Yuan didn't move, but Bai Ling stood in front of Zhang Bo.
Zhang Bo's expression changed, and he took a step back.
"What do you mean? Everyone else doesn't want it, so does that mean I'm the one with the problem?"
Lu Yuan gave Zhang Bo a disdainful look:
"You're not even that good-looking, but you've got some pretty wild ideas!"
"Pfft!"
Luo Qingcheng, who had been silent the whole time, burst out laughing.
"Get lost! I'm not selling. You think you can buy my S-rank magical beast corpse for a thousand soul crystals? You think you're so great? Why should I give you face?"
Lu Yuan was ruthless in his insults.
"You, you..."
Zhang Bo had never suffered such an insult before.
No one in the entire Xuanwu City would humiliate him like this.
Everyone calls him "Boss Zhang" when they see him.
As a result, he was repeatedly humiliated in front of this outsider; it would be strange if he wasn't angry.
However, this matter is not over yet; Lu Yuan's verbal attacks continue.
"What do you mean, 'who do you think you are'?"
"A thousand soul crystals? Where do you get the audacity to say that? Are you Fish Leong?"
Zhang Bo desperately wanted to rush up and kill Lu Yuan, but he knew he couldn't win, so he had to swallow his anger.
"You're something else. I'd like to see who in the entire Xuanwu City will buy your magical beast."
After Zhang Bo finished speaking, he turned around and left immediately, since staying would only bring him further humiliation.
Lu Yuan didn't bother with this idiot. With a wave of his hand, he put the armadillo into his encyclopedia, and immediately, an armadillo icon lit up.
Huang Weisheng, not wanting to make the atmosphere awkward, also stepped in to smooth things over.
Since Huang Weisheng had taken on the role of peacemaker, Lu Yuan didn't say anything more and began picking up the items on the ground.
There were several hundred soul crystals and some materials, but one skill book caught Lu Yuan's eye.
"A skill book! A skill book actually dropped!"
End of chapter!
