In the past, Xique would have had to patiently make excuses, as the world was controlled by the Zhou and Dongdan families.
If she wants to live a peaceful life, she must be pragmatic and at least not offend Dong Danzhanpeng.
But now that the young lady has been found, Xique feels there's no need for that anymore:
Miss is not only her backbone, Miss is also her spirit!
With Miss around, her magpie-like back will always be ramrod straight!
As for cultivation resources, pshaw, who cares!
She had so many spirit stones in her storage ring that she could crush that disgusting bastard Dongdan Zhanpeng to death!
I don't know where this guy gets his confidence from.
Looking like a toad, he still dares to make a move on her. He's not even worthy of carrying her shoes!
“Young Master Zhanpeng, you’re overthinking it. I can earn my own cultivation resources. I don’t need to beg you for them. If you don’t think much of my meager cultivation and don’t want to hire me, then I won’t force you. We can part ways now.” Xique didn’t even glance at Dongdan Zhanpeng, and was very assertive.
“Nianyao, you…” Dongdan Zhanpeng was very surprised.
Ever since he took a liking to the magpie's hands and guessed that the magpie might be disguising its true appearance, he had tested the magpie several times.
But in the past, Xi Que had always been very tactful and polite in refusing him; last time, she even promised to think it over carefully.
But why did this girl suddenly become so assertive tonight?
Dong Dan Zhanpeng recalled the interaction between Xi Que and Ji Fengyao during the day and suddenly realized what was going on. He sneered, "Nianyao, you don't think that just because you exchanged a few words with that alchemist girl, you can climb the social ladder and follow her, looking down on me, do you?"
The magpie gave Dong Danzhanpeng a look of concern for someone with intellectual disabilities:
What does it mean to climb the social ladder?
That was originally her young lady!
Dong Dan Zhanpeng clearly failed to grasp the true meaning of Xi Que's gaze, and feeling very self-satisfied, he continued to intimidate her: "No matter how capable that alchemist girl is, she is just one person. My Dong Dan family controls the lifeline of the entire Maple Moon Continent."
Without the approval of our Dongdan family, even that alchemist girl cannot leave this place.
Even if she could refine pills, how many spiritual herbs could she gather in the wild?
Without the spiritual herbs, even with her extraordinary skills, she would be unable to use them.
Nianyao, you are a smart person. Would you rather follow me, who controls the lifeline of the entire continent, or follow a pill master who, in the end, also has to bow down to our Dongdan family for a little bit of resources? I believe you can figure it out.
"My patience is limited..."
As Dong Danzhanpeng finished speaking, Ji Fengyao on the rooftop noticed that Xique was already frowning in annoyance.
Knowing that Xique had reached her limit, he quickly used his divine sense to call out to her.
When Xi Que learned that Ji Fengyao had arrived, he was overjoyed, and Dong Dan Zhanpeng's voice in his ear became even more extremely annoying.
She slammed her hand on the table in a fit of rage, interrupting Dong Danzhanpeng's disgusting words, and shouted, "You can get out now!"
The people living in this courtyard are all Dong Danzhanpeng's trusted subordinates.
Since everyone here is a cultivator, even if they don't deliberately eavesdrop, their hearing is still quite good.
Moreover, with the magpie roaring so loudly, everyone in the yard must have heard it.
Dong Danzhanpeng felt as if his face had been ripped off by a magpie, his face burning with embarrassment. He stood up angrily and said, "Nianyao, don't be so shameless. Don't you know who you are? If I hadn't been in such a hurry to come out and hadn't had time to bring any beauties, do you think I would have taken a fancy to an ugly woman like you!"
