He wore a golden crown and a jade belt, possessing an outstanding appearance and a reserved demeanor. Although handsome, he had no effeminate features and held a folding fan, which he gently waved.
The woman in pink seemed like a completely different person when she saw him.
She said softly, "Sanlang, I have already paid. I was planning to deliver it to your residence, but I didn't expect you to come in person."
The young man in brocade robes frowned slightly, unwilling to say more to her, and simply nodded and thanked her.
The beautiful woman blushed with embarrassment and twisted her body several times.
"Big brother, could you spare one for me?"
Linglong finally asked, somewhat unwillingly, "I want to raise one as a spirit beast. I promise I will never harm it. Please."
The young man in brocade robes looked at the short man wrapped up from head to toe, but before he could speak, the beautiful woman in pink preemptively threatened:
"Don't even think about it. You dare to covet Silver Fox? I'll eat you up if you don't."
"You can have this silver fox if you want," the young man in brocade robes said.
"Really? Thank you."
"There are two conditions: either defeat me, or Little Silver Fox will voluntarily go with you. The choice is yours."
"ah?"
Linglong was a little stunned. She looked at the man in brocade and then at the little silver fox beside her. She had a feeling that there was no way she would get anything this time. She couldn't help but feel disappointed. It was all her fault for taking too long to choose.
Clinging to her last shred of hope, she approached the little silver fox and said as sincerely as possible, "Is there anyone who wants to be my spirit beast? I will treat it very, very well."
Although she was very sincere, what she said was really dry. The little foxes blinked their big, watery eyes at her, and their silvery-white bodies ran to the young man in brocade robes as the hunter released them from their restraints, clearly answering her question with their actions.
A-Jiang tugged at the dejected Linglong, signaling her to leave. The demon race acts recklessly, so it's best not to provoke them.
After this ordeal, the three lost interest and were about to head back when a tremendous rumble, accompanied by a tremor, startled them so much that they nearly collapsed to the ground. Many wooden bridges outside the building had broken, countless cracks had appeared in the rock walls, and rocks were falling from the cliff face.
Ah Jiang pulled Xiao Pang and Linglong to a corner to squat down, took a wooden board to cover their heads, and cautiously looked outside.
A white ball of light pierced through the second-floor ceiling, ripped off the roof, and rushed outside the light curtain.
After the white light went out, everyone saw the two groups of people confronting each other in the air through the hole.
On one side was a large group, all dressed in dark, close-fitting clothing and wielding various magical artifacts. On the other side stood the young man in brocade robes they had just met, with the pink-clad demoness and a dozen or so small silver foxes standing several feet behind him. The two sides were talking, but they were too far apart to hear each other.
A-Jiang asked a stall owner who was taking refuge nearby, "Uncle, do you know what's going on here?"
The stall owner looked at her and said, "See those men in black? They're from the Demon Suppression Hall. They've mobilized so many people and made such a big show of force. It seems that the man and woman on the other side must be powerful demons of high status in the demon race."
"The Demon-Suppressing Hall?!" Linglong exclaimed in shock.
"Young friend, you know this too?" The stall owner was surprised.
I've heard my elders mention it a little.
The stall owner nodded, not asking any further questions, but sighed and said, "The people from the Demon Suppression Hall haven't been around the cultivation world for many years. Now, many junior cultivators don't even know how terrifying the Demon Suppression Hall is."
In the short time it took to say those two sentences, the two sides in the sky began to fight. At this level of battle, A-Jiang and the other two could not see how the two sides were fighting. They could only see the huge destruction caused by the magic.
