"Boss Hu, he definitely has three million Supreme-grade Spirit Stones! I even feel like it might be more!" Li Xiaoming incited further. "Moreover, that broken token definitely hides some secret. Even just snatching that token back would be a huge profit!" However, thinking about the sixty percent share he had to give Boss Hu, Li Xiaoming felt slightly unreconciled! If not for his inability to gauge the strength of the white-robed youth accompanying Ye Feng, why would he seek outside help for such a golden opportunity?
"You'd better not be lying to me!" The scar-faced robust man glanced coldly at Li Xiaoming. "If I don't gain anything from this trip, don't blame me for getting rough with you!" Only then did Boss Hu stride into the Inn.
"Master, this... isn't this going too far?!" Inside the second-floor Guest Room, the Blood-Devouring Mantis looked at the two thousand Low-grade Spirit Crystals arranged neatly, its face darkening!
... ...
Being prodigal is one thing! But someone is about to rob you, even having developed killing intent, yet you've prepared so many Low-grade Spirit Crystals to give them? This Mantis hereby dubs you the Ceiling (Pinnacle) of the prodigal world!
"Too far?" Ye Feng scoffed. "If it weren't for the Syst—" He stopped himself. "You wouldn't understand!" Ye Feng really wanted to say he had argued forcefully with the System just to get this amount, and even then, he felt it was too little. After all, this was the first time someone tried to rob him – a very commemorative occasion!
"This guy is really lucky. He came here to rob someone, but ends up happily leaving with two thousand free Low-grade Spirit Crystals. That's equivalent to two hundred thousand Supreme-grade Spirit Stones," the Blood-Devouring Mantis remarked, sounding somewhat envious.
"What are you thinking?" Ye Feng looked at the Mantis as if it were an idiot. "He came to rob me, even wanted to kill me, and you think he can just take my Low-grade Spirit Crystals and leave alive?"
"Keep a close eye! The moment he takes these Low-grade Spirit Crystals and prepares to leave, attack and finish him off!"
Damn! You can play it like this? Hearing Ye Feng's words, the Blood-Devouring Mantis could hardly believe its ears, feeling like its entire worldview had been overturned! Its gaze towards Ye Feng underwent an earth-shattering transformation. If anyone ever called its master a simple prodigal again, it would definitely fight them to the death! Could a simple prodigal be this cunning?!
"Remember," Ye Feng reminded again, worried the Mantis might slip up, "you absolutely must wait until he takes all these Low-grade Spirit Crystals before you make a move. This is a commemorative event!"
Listen to that! Are those words even human! Toying with someone in the palm of your hand, and it's still a commemorative event!
Terrifying! Utterly terrifying! The Blood-Devouring Mantis felt that the one-armed madman it had seen earlier was already freakish enough, but now it felt Ye Feng was even more freakish!
"This must be the Guest Room!" Just then, a low inquiry sounded from outside the door.
"Master, two people have arrived. The newcomer is at the seventh layer of the Nascent Soul Realm. He should be the helper the stall owner found," the Blood-Devouring Mantis quickly reported the situation outside.
"Come in, the door's unlocked!" Hearing the Mantis, Ye Feng called out to the two men outside, a trace of excitement in his voice.
Creak!
The door was easily pushed open. When Li Xiaoming and Boss Hu saw the two thousand Low-grade Spirit Crystals neatly arranged in the Guest Room, and especially Ye Feng sitting behind them looking at the two with an excited expression, both men's faces changed instantly!
"I know why you two are here!" Ye Feng said with a smile. "Your willingness to rob me shows you think highly of me. Here are two thousand Low-grade Spirit Crystals; I hope you won't disdain them!"
Furious! Hearing this, both Li Xiaoming and Boss Hu felt anger surge within them!
"Enough! We're here to rob you! Are you trying to dismiss us like beggars?" Li Xiaoming was the first to shout angrily at Ye Feng. "You think a mere two thousand Low-grade Spirit Crystals can send us away? What we want isn't just this, but three million Supreme-grade Spirit Stones!" After all, his promise to Boss Hu was three million Supreme-grade Spirit Stones. These paltry two thousand Low-grade Spirit Crystals were only worth two hundred thousand Supreme-grade Spirit Stones, a shortfall of a full two million eight hundred thousand! If this angered Boss Hu, he himself would be in danger!
"System! What the hell did I tell you?! I said this amount of Spirit Crystals wasn't enough! Now look, I, a grand prodigal divine magnate, am being disdained by damn robbers! Tell me how to handle this!" Hearing Li Xiaoming's furious rebuke, Ye Feng turned his anger towards the System. What should have been a commemorative event had been twisted into a memory too painful to recall. A grand prodigal divine magnate being disdained by robbers – there was simply nothing more disgraceful!
Boom!
Just as Ye Feng's angry words towards the System faded, a terrifying aura descended abruptly. Space beside them tore open, and the golden-armored robust man, wielding his golden battle blade, stepped out directly.
Phew! Seeing it was the old acquaintance, the golden-armored man, the Blood-Devouring Mantis beside Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief. It really didn't want to see that oppressive and terrifying one-armed madman again.
What's going on? I haven't encountered any danger yet! What are you doing out here? Seeing the Prodigal Guard appear, Ye Feng stared blankly, utterly confused!
Swish!
With a flash of golden Blade Qi, Li Xiaoming and Boss Hu, who hadn't even reacted yet, were instantly Annihilated.
What just happened? Watching the golden-armored man appear, kill the two with one strike, and then immediately leave, Ye Feng was truly dumbfounded!
"Ding! As a prodigal divine magnate, the significance of the Host being robbed for the first time is extraordinary. Such individuals are fundamentally unworthy of being recorded in your prodigal growth journey!" Just then, the System's voice suddenly sounded in Ye Feng's mind.
...
Hearing the System's words, Ye Feng's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably! He had questioned the System, imagining countless possibilities in his mind, but he truly hadn't expected the System to play such a slick move!
The Blood-Devouring Mantis beside him was also completely bewildered! Although it really wanted to ask Ye Feng what was going on, seeing Ye Feng collect the neatly arranged two thousand Low-grade Spirit Crystals from the floor with a dark face, it very sensibly kept its mouth shut!
"Let's go, back to the sect!" Ye Feng had completely lost the mood for leisure and spoke directly to the Blood-Devouring Mantis.
"Ding! Due to a System calculation error, the Host is specially compensated with 100,000 Prodigal Points, awarded 100x 9th Grade 9th Rank Thousand Feather Sword Formation Flags, and awarded the Nine Dragons Burning Heaven Cauldron x1!"
Just as Ye Feng walked out of the Inn, still simmering with pent-up anger, the System's voice sounded in his mind again.
"System, at least you have some conscience!" Hearing the System admit its mistake and even offer these rewards as compensation, Ye Feng finally cracked a smile. Anger was anger, but who would argue with rewards!
