The storyteller knew that some of the younger generation were arrogant.
But he had never seen a younger man more arrogant than Sheng Ning.
Those people were tall and strong, and their cultivation was also high. How could Sheng Ning, a little girl with thin arms and legs, be a match for them?
Although, but.
How come a little girl with thin arms and legs has so many strange things on her body?
Not only are there many strange and unusual things, but there are also white tigers and giant pythons...
The storyteller took a deep breath and gripped the armrests of the chair tightly to keep himself from falling to the ground.
How many surprises does Sheng Ning hold that he doesn't know about?
The people outside waited for a long time, and after confirming that the drug had taken effect, they carefully pushed open the door.
Unexpectedly, the first man to step into the room was so frightened by the sight of the white tiger crouching at the door that his pupils shrank and he opened his mouth to scream.
"What are you yelling about?! What if you call all her fellow disciples over here?"
A suppressed, rough voice sounded at the doorway.
The man whose mouth was covered pointed at the white tiger in front of him, his breathing becoming heavier.
Following his finger, the group of people at the door were stunned for a moment upon seeing the white tiger, then their faces lit up with excitement.
"I never expected that little girl would have other spirit pets!"
"This white tiger looks to be at least at the Golden Core stage. Boss, we've hit the jackpot!"
"Boss, look, there's a giant python hanging on the white tiger's back. Let's take the dragon and the white tiger to the young city lord. As for the giant python, hehe..."
A lewd and greedy laugh echoed from the doorway.
A smile appeared on the face of the man who was called the boss.
But soon, the smile in his eyes faded.
The man raised his hand and smacked his subordinate on the head, frowning as he said in a deep voice, "Keep your voices down, or you'll wake the people inside!"
The rustling sounds coming from the doorway suddenly fell silent.
Just after the eight people entered the room, the light from the two still-burning candles was dim.
Yet the light still shone on Sheng Ning and the other person in the room.
"Boss, why is this little girl sitting here?"
"Hey, isn't that the storyteller we bumped into during the day? What's he doing here?"
"They probably came to tip someone off, but ended up getting drugged, haha!"
Laughter filled the room.
The storyteller had indeed passed out while the sleeping potion was evaporating in the room.
Sheng Ning, who was beside him, also had her head bowed.
When she heard the mocking laughter, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, but quickly fell back down.
"But boss, don't you think this room looks a bit strange? The table is broken, and why is there so much random stuff in the room?"
He reached out and touched the black cannon barrel beside him. Suddenly, the barrel seemed to come alive and beeped, startling the underling so much that he almost fell to the ground.
"What kind of damn thing is this? We'll take it back and give it to the young city lord later."
"It's a bit ugly, but it might be useful."
"Alright, hurry up and find the dragon and leave. After you find the dragon, remember to check if a contract has been signed. If it has, take this little girl with you!"
As the storyteller said, these people would naturally not offer a dragon that had signed a contract with a cultivator as a gift to the young city lord.
If Sheng Ning is unwilling to break the contract with the 'Jiao' at that time, these people probably won't let her off easily.
Soon after, another rustling sound came from the room.
After searching the room thoroughly, the group gathered together again.
"We haven't found it, boss. Do you think that dragon might not be this girl's spirit pet?"
"After all, it's a dragon. Such a creature is extremely rare, and it's a precious spiritual pet. How could a small sect possibly give it to a little girl to raise?"
"Impossible. My brother and I saw it with our own eyes. That dragon was only close to this little girl. If it wasn't her spirit pet, whose would it be?"
"Besides, who said this room has been thoroughly searched? They haven't even searched the girl yet, have they? I saw her during the day; she's very pretty. If we send her to the young city lord..."
The increasingly vulgar voices echoed in the room.
The white tiger, which had been lying by the door pretending to be asleep with the giant python, twitched its ears.
Unfortunately, these people were so focused on Sheng Ning that they didn't notice its actions.
After exchanging glances, the eight men surrounded Sheng Ning.
"Pfft!"
"I'm sorry, I really couldn't help it."
A sudden chuckle broke the silence in the room.
Sheng Ning's sudden laughter made the eight grown men stop in their tracks.
Some people thought they were hallucinating and reached up to rub their ears. "Brother, who was laughing just now?"
Just as the voice finished speaking, a faint blue light suddenly illuminated the previously dimly lit room.
It immediately draws people's attention to the blue light.
Upon seeing Sheng Ning's delicate face illuminated by the blue light, the eight people immediately took a step back.
Sheng Ning was amused by their actions, and her smile widened. "Good evening, have you eaten?"
Eight people: ......
Finally, someone reacted and reached out to touch their boss, "Boss, what do we do? This guy didn't faint at all!"
"I'm not blind, I can see it very clearly."
The eldest brother took a deep breath.
Seeing that Sheng Ning had not been drugged at all, he furrowed his brows tightly.
After a long while, he finally spoke through gritted teeth, "Little fellow Daoist, if you don't want to suffer, you'd better hand over the dragon you had during the day to your brothers."
"Otherwise, a delicate little girl like you might not be able to withstand a single punch from your brother."
Is this a conciliatory approach taken first?
Sheng Ning propped his head up with one hand, toying with a dark blue fireball in his hand.
Seeing her calm and unperturbed demeanor, the eldest brother was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder.
"Young friend, if you won't listen to our advice, then we brothers will have no choice but to..."
"What else can we do?"
Finally, Sheng Ning's clear and melodious voice rang out in the room.
She smiled at the eight men surrounding her, "So you can only attack me?"
"Gentlemen, didn't you even bother to find out who I am before you made your move?"
Sheng Ning's arrogant attitude stunned the eight men for a moment.
When they came to their senses, they stared at her for a long time before letting out a soft hum.
“We don’t care who you are. Anyone who comes to the territory of Saluo City must obey the rules of Saluo City.”
"Young friend, do you know who these brothers are?"
Sheng Ning said "Oh," her voice rising at the end, her tone carrying a hint of provocative mockery, "I don't know your past identities."
"All I know is that you will soon be kneeling down and kowtowing to me, calling me your great-aunt."
What an arrogant tone.
The eight men were so angry at her words that they laughed on the spot.
Eight pairs of eyes stared intently at the person in front of them until one of them released his spiritual power, attempting to suppress the overconfident girl.
