After handing over Wei Siyuan to Yi Xiuzhu, Li Jing walked out of the café and found Yulian standing by the roadside not far off.
"What about the people in the café?"
"No need to worry, they will recover in about ten minutes."
As Yulian spoke those words, she naturally hooked her arm around his.
"Where are we heading next?"
"Thereâs nothing else to do, the rest is up to the Patrol System."
Li Jing replied, turning his head to gaze in the direction of the dark alley.
Several streaks of light shot up into sight, he quietly activated Silent Shadow, leading Yulian away from the café down the street. He pulled out his phone and glanced at it in passing.
At this time, it was close to two in the afternoon.
He wasnât particularly keen on meddling any further.
The core members of the Demon Beast Unionâs Jianghai division had already been wiped out by him, and the few remaining monsters roaming about wouldnât present a significant threat.
If he went on a hunt for them, it would indeed be quite troublesome.
And even if he found any, it wasnât clear what he could gain from it.
There was not much to squeeze out of the known shareholders, not to mention that arresting someone would require solid evidence.
This time, he had cashed in enough. There was no need to waste any more effort.
It was just the right timing to pick up Jiu Li.
However, since he had already told her to come by herself first, he would wait for her to arrive in North City.
Compared to these matters, Li Jing was more eager to head over to the Spirit Market and have Mister Longâs Dragon Horn appraised to see how much it was actually worth.
After a moment of pondering, Li Jing pulled out the keys for the house in the second phase of Closed Moon Flower Garden.
"Yulian, can you do me a favor? I have a friend who will be arriving later. Sheâs planning to settle in North City, and I bought her a house not too far from mine in the second phase of Closed Moon Flower Garden. Could you wait at the villa for her and help her open the door? I have to make a trip to the Spirit Market, and Iâm not sure when Iâll be back."
"A trivial matter, leave it to me."
Yulian agreed readily, taking the keys and asking.
"Whatâs your friendâs name?"
"Jiu Li, like you, sheâs a six-realm advanced fox demon."
Li Jing answered truthfully.
"..."
Yulian was silent.
She hadnât thought much about it before.
Just helping out by welcoming a guest, what could go wrong?
But hearing him say so now, good heavens!
Turns out a contender was coming!
Just like her, a fox demon, and an advanced six-realm one at that!
She felt a sense of crisis immediately.
New fox demon!
The overlap of their roles and purposes was undeniable, wasnât it?
With the five hundred catties of fifth boundary Tiger Demon meat given to her by Li Jing, she was confident she could step into the six realm in a short time.
But this Fox spirit, she comes and sheâs already six realms advance!
Moreover, Li Jing has gifted her a house not far from his own...
Whatâs that saying again?
The nearest tower to the water enjoys the first beam of the moonlight!
She lived in East City, which made it very inconvenient to get involved with Li Jing, only relying on him to take the initiative to come and find her.
This new fox spirit would live so close to him, would she become obsolete in minutes?
Yulian was certainly sharp.
An advanced six-realm fox demon getting involved with Li Jing and coming to settle in North City...
She didnât have to wonder why.
Likewise, seeing Yulian freeze up upon revealing Jiu Liâs identity, Li Jing could not help but laugh silently.
A womanâs heart is as deep as the ocean floor.
He would never understand this.
However, I found it easy to predict the thoughts of the beautiful fox demon in front of me.
Li Jing said to Yulian, who was staring at him wanting to say something,
"You can be at ease, Jiu Liâs charming abilities arenât as strong as yours, her primary talents lie elsewhere. If I need you in the future, I will still look for you."
Yulian pouted at his words.
Of course, she believed what Li Jing said.
Every fox demon has its unique talents, not all could match hers.
But at the same time, as a fox demon, she also understood,
Charming abilities were inherent to all fox demons, with the strength of their abilities dependent on their individual cultivation.
For fox demons who prioritized charming abilities like her, theirs would not be as powerful.
However, if a fox demon possessed high rank, it could still charm those of lower ranks, though it would require more effort.
Yulian sighed and said-
"You said it, donât forget about me when you find someone else. Remember to look for me when something good happens, otherwise this âMrs. Liâ will be upset."
Upon hearing Yulian self-proclaim as "Mrs. Li," Li Jing couldnât help but smile and nod, silently heaving a sigh of relief.
Regardless of how Yulian suppressed her natural charm, it was always subtly working, and the closer they were, the more likely he was to be affected.
At the moment, Yulian was arm in arm with Li Jing, practically inseparable.
Yulianâs pitiful appearance was enough on its own to make a personâs heart ache and instinctively want to comfort her.
This feeling was quite tormenting.
There was a popular saying on the internet -
"Itâs not entirely the fault of King Zhou Wu, indeed there is some truth to it."
Just as he was about to say he would bring Yulian to the second phase of the Closed Moon Flower Garden immediately, she bit her lip and asked-
"You are in a hurry to go to the Spirit Object Market, seems like you made a great profit from your meeting with Zhao Leshan. What about my reward...?"
"Your reward will certainly be given,"
Li Jing replied, noticing the expectant look on her face, and after pondering for a moment, he said-
"After this incident, you must be ready to attack the Six Realm. The 500 kilograms of Fifth Boundary demon beast flesh I provided earlier should be enough for your transition to the Six Realm. Getting more from the Fifth Boundary wonât serve any purpose."
Then, he continued-
"On this trip with Zhao Leshan, we killed a Six Realm snake demon which had awakened its Dragon Transformation talent. Its body is quite damaged, probably only a dragon horn remains intact. So, Iâll send this Sixth Boundary Big Monster to be appraised and get its intact parts, the remainder will be yours."
Upon hearing that Li Jing killed a Six Realm snake demon that had awakened its Dragon Transformation talent, Yulian was greatly surprised.
Snake demons, they werenât all that rare.
But those who possessed the Dragon Transformation talent, they were extremely scarce.
A snake demon at the Six Realm level was even rarer.
Just that one dragon horn itself could probably be worth tens of billions.
Li Jingâs luck, it was really something.
His battle strength was remarkably impressive.
Others might not be aware, but she knew the truth.
Li Jing was still far from the Six Realm, he was still in the Fifth Boundary.
It would already be unfathomable if he was able to kill a Sixth Boundary Big Monster, but for him to kill a snake demon at the Sixth Realm that had the Dragon Transformation talent, it was unimaginable.
Among all the monster races, a snake demon with Dragon Transformation talent was known as unbeatable within their own realm.
Unless a few select monsters with similarly extraordinary talents, all other monsters would find it difficult to compete within the same realm.
However, having followed Li Jing for so long, Yulian had become numb to this.
This man was able to kill Fifth Boundary demons as easily as killing chickens, basically without exerting much effort.
Back in the capital city, he even took on two at once, killing one Sixth Boundary Demon and capturing a Sixth Realm human cultivator.
Accepting the fact that he could kill a Sixth Realm snake demon with Dragon Transformation talent doesnât seem too hard after all.
Upon hearing that after appraisal, if the Six Realm snake demon killed by Li Jing only had a dragon horn intact and the rest could be given to her, Yulianâs body softened even more.
The whole Six Realm snake demon!
Once she steps into the Six Realm and cultivates ascetically while eating, she might even have the opportunity to advance to the middle-stage of the Six Realm!
Materials from damaged monsters have little use in the hands of humans.
But they can still emit light and heat in the hands of monsters. At most, they are slightly troublesome to cook or not very tasty.
Some organs that were originally medicinal materials may contain "nutrients" that are several times more abundant than the flesh!
What more is there to say?
How nice it would be if someone could raise me!
Leaning entirely on Li Jingâs arm, Yulian canceled the effect of the appearance changing talisman and restored her original appearance, looking affectionate.
"Youâre going to have a fox demon friend in the Six Realm here soon. The entire snake demon is mine, isnât that a bit too much?"
Li Jingâs mouth twitched when he heard this.
Why is she becoming so sarcastic when weâre having a proper conversation?
"She was not involved in this, no need to keep it for her."
Li Jing shrugged off the changes of the appearance-changing talisman, and casually said.
"What I give you is what you deserve. This time, my gains are much more than ever, and you have the most credit. Of course, I have to give you more. You donât have to thank me or think about anything else. Just remember that I will never treat you unfairly if you help me."
Yulian liked what Li Jing said.
This kind of pure reciprocity, indeed, she doesnât need to consider anything else.
If it were someone else, she might have been pondering whether they had any ulterior motives for her.
Lifting her eyes and glancing at Li Jing, Yulian protruded her small mouth and said with a giggle.
"Itâs a pity youâre already married, or we might have the chance to become intimate and develop a relationship. If you can support me, I wouldnât have to work hard. Being Mrs. Li peacefully is much easier than busily balancing work and cultivation."
Li Jing was dumbfounded.
The subject is so abrupt that he is caught off guard.
He doesnât dare to answer this topic bluntly.
Whether itâs a demon or a human is not the key.
The key is that the other party is Yulian!
What if she took the banter seriously?
If he attracts this monster, who can wipe out a Fifth Boundary creature with just one glance, itâs not as simple as an incurable problem.
"Letâs go, Iâll take you to the Closed Moon Flower Garden."
He said casually, then activated the Silent Shadow and, taking Yulian with him, turned into a thunderbolt and left.
...
After a while, Li Jing took Yulian to the villa he bought in the second phase of the Closed Moon Flower Garden. He left her waiting for Jiu Li to come, and went alone to the Spiritual Objects Market.
Itâs not a big deal to promise Yulian an entire snake demon of the sixth realm.
This time, Yulian contributed greatly.
Without her, things would not have gone so smoothly.
One hundred and sixty-billion incoming cash and the extermination of the Jianghai Branch, her contribution was significant.
Mister Long was almost ruined and probably couldnât sell for much. It was suitable to give to her, saving him the trouble of getting a large amount of Fifth Boundary monster flesh as a reward.
The flesh of monsters is relatively cheap.
But even if itâs cheap, as long as the quality is up to par, it can still be used for bartering.
After the battle with Mister Long, Li Jing realized a problem.
The Linglong Tower is still not stable enough.
A single Mister Long almost overthrew the Linglong Tower. Wouldnât it be more dangerous to encounter stronger opponents in the future?
Li Jing doesnât like danger.
As for nurturing the spirit weapon, he can only wait.
Feeding the spirit weapon is something he can control.
He doesnât need to cultivate himself, nor does he need to consider for himself.
Since this is the case, all available resources in his hands should of course be used for critical things.
Feeding the two spirit weapons until they are "fat" and capable of supporting him in crossing ranks to kill enemies is more reliable than spending elsewhere.
Upon arriving at the Spiritual Objects Market, Li Jing went directly to Xu Jiayiâs appraisal shop, which he was familiar with.
Just as he turned into the shop, he saw Xu Jiayi, swinging her long legs while sitting at the counter studying a tablet.
He was about to greet her when a shop assistant, noticing his entrance and changing face, nudged Xu Jiayi.
Her arm was tugged, and she looked up with a frown, naturally setting her gaze on Li Jing.
When their eyes met, her bright eyes lit up, bouncing off the counter and rushed over within a few steps.
"Brother Li, Iâve been looking forward to seeing you!"
?
Li Jing slowly typed out a question mark.
Xu Jiayiâs enthusiasm baffled him.
Still puzzled, Xu Jiayi pulled him aside, raised her tablet, poked her screen, and questioned him in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"Is this...your doing?"
Li Jing heard her voice and instinctively looked down.
What he saw on the tablet was a news headline stating that the Shangcheng Manchun bathhouse had been identified as a base for the Demon Beast Union and was leveled by the Management Bureau.
Taken aback, Li Jing looked at her curiously.
"Didnât the news say the Management Bureau did it? How did you think of me?"
"How could I not think of it?"
Xu Jiayi chuckled, grabbed Li Jingâs arm as if she was afraid he would run away, and complained.
"Once the news was out, it was all over the internet! All kinds of information were flying around!"
As she spoke, she laughed.
"There were so many witnesses at the scene, although they couldnât explain exactly what happened, whether it was the Patrol System or the Management Bureau that took action, but they at least confirmed that someone unknowingly isolated this bathhouse into Subspace and eradicated the entire base. Neither the Management Bureau nor the Shangchengâs branch arrived at the scene at first time. You are so mysterious, maybe others wouldnât think of it but why wouldnât I?"
Before Li Jing could respond, she winked at him.
"Brother Li, not only do you have a âprevious recordâ, but now youâre here in the shop, that just confirms it, right?"
At these words, Li Jing was lost for words.
If Xu Jiayi was to put it this way, it could be correct.
People familiar with him and knew about what he did in the Central City would easily associate this with him.
And with Xu Jiayi, he had actually walked right into it.
Li Jing shrugged while looking at Xu Jiayi, who was still clinging to his arm without causing much of a sensation, he shrugged.
"Alright, I admit that it was me who did it."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiayiâs eyes lit up even more, and she asked in a lower voice.
"So, youâre here to get your loot appraised?"
"Yeah."
Li Jing smiled and said,
"Itâs not convenient outside. Letâs go to the appraisal room and talk."
"Okay!"
Xu Jiayi cheerfully agreed, and while leading him towards the appraisal room, she yelled at the shop assistants.
"Close the shop, weâre closing temporarily. Gather in the appraisal room!"
A few shop assistants instantly complied.
Two days ago, Li Jing had sent a Fifth Boundary Big Monster. Xu Jiayiâs shop had kept the source of the material confidential both internally and externally, so no one was aware who sent the Fifth Boundary Big Monster.
But the appraisers at the shop were all witnesses, so itâs impossible not to know this, as they all associated it with the Central City Seeking Immortal Winery.
As the news about Manchun Bathhouse came out, they, like Xu Jiayi, had their own speculations.
For this reason, when they saw Li Jing arrived, someone reminded Xu Jiayi who was engrossed in studying the news; the main person has arrived.
They had to tread cautiously on this matter.
Keeping the material of the Fifth Boundary Big Monster a secret had put a lot of pressure on the appraisal shop.
They werenât exactly being bullied, but the key was that there were too many people trying to pry for information.
With Li Jing as a customer, they certainly had to watch their mouths.
In this appraisal business, whatâs important is not how many professional techniques youâve learned for different directions of appraisal, but how much appraisal experience you have.
Appraisers must grow through practice, otherwise they may make grave mistakes.
In this line of work, a single grave mistake could be disastrous.
Xu Jiayiâs appraisal shop has an excellent reputation, with many new and regular customers.
But most customers come to appraise various artifacts, elixirs, and created talisman objects.
Materials from monster beasts are relatively rare.
In a first-tier metropolis like Jianghai, the opportunity to see high-quality monster materials is limited.
Itâs rare to encounter a Fifth Boundary monster.
As for monsters from the Six Realm, thereâs no need to mention.
Throughout Hua Country, appraisers who have had the chance to see a complete corpse or even handle it personally are rare.
Thanks to Li Jing, a few senior appraisers had just such an opportunity two days ago, even stepping up to operate.
No matter who peeped or where the news leaked from, if Li Jing was unhappy and didnât come next time, who could bear this responsibility?
As the appraisers busily closed the shop outside, Xu Jiayi pulled Li Jing into the appraisal room, asking excitedly.
"What did you gain this time?"
Li Jing saw her excitement, smiled, withdrew his hand from her arms and took out the corpses of Mister Long and six female monsters from the Fifth Boundary, including Yao Jiali, all at once.
Seven monster corpses fell on the ground, instantly occupying more than half of the spacious appraisal room.
Mister Long was a python monster with a considerably large size.
In his dragon transformation state, his body length was a full hundred meters.
After death, when the dragon transformation was lifted, his main body still had more than forty meters, and the snake body had an approximate diameter of five to six meters.
In comparison, the six female monsters from the Fifth Boundary seemed petite.
Of course.
This is only relatively speaking.
Aside from Yao Jiali who was a leopard demon and appeared quite slender, the remaining lion, two tigers and two wolves were all considerably robust, each individual being at least the size of a sedan.
Xu Jiayi was stunned when she saw the seven giant monster corpses. Her bright eyes instantly locked onto the dragon horn on Mister Longâs head.
For a moment, she thought she was hallucinating.
She rubbed her eyes vigorously. After making sure she wasnât mistaken, she turned her head and took a deep breath.
"This ... this snake monster has the talent to transform into a dragon?"
"Didnât you just see it?"
Li Jing shrugged, saying.
"This snake monster is at the intermediate stage of the Six Realm, a bit formidable. It took me quite a bit of energy to kill him. Unfortunately, he wasnât as durable as the ox demon last time, and his main body has mostly been destroyed."
Hearing his words, Xu Jiayi opened her mouth silently, speechlessly.
"Brother Li, canât you stop bragging?"
"Tsk."
Li Jing clicked his tongue, saying.
"Iâm just stating facts. Isnât it a pity that such a large snake monsterâs main body is destroyed?"
"..."
Xu Jiayi was rendered speechless. She pouted and said.
"Well, of course itâs a pity, but this dragon horn alone can easily overshadow that ox demon you brought the other day."
As the two were talking, several senior appraisers from the shop came in as a group.
Upon entering the door and seeing the seven monster corpses, all the appraisers froze.
Then, all their gazes fell on the dragon horn on Mister Longâs head.
"Dra ... dra ... dragon horn!?"
An older appraiser stammered on the spot, clutching his chest as if he couldnât bear the shock.
Another appraiser quickly supported him and helped him catch his breath.
Upon seeing the appraisers entering, Xu Jiayi promptly raised her hand.
"Now get to work. This Six Realm snake monsterâs main body is heavily damaged. We need to first confirm whether there are valuable parts inside its body. Weâll deal with the other monsters from the Fifth Boundary later."
Upon her command, the appraisers went straight up to the task.
Unable to withstand the temptation, the confused appraiser hurried over to the snakeâs head, not caring about his discomfort anymore.
The one who couldnât withstand bit down hard, suppressing the discomfort in his body with his Spiritual Qi, and quickly followed.
The eight appraisers in the room seemed to have reached a tacit understanding and simultaneously flocked to the snakeâs head.
Seeing this, Xu Jiayi tugged at the corner of her mouth.
But she couldnât help but empathize.
A snake demon that had awakened its dragon transformation trait was a rare specimen indeed.
If finding a live one was difficult, finding a dead one was nothing short of extraordinary.
The number of appraisers who had ever encountered such a thing in the whole of Dragon Nation could probably be counted on one hand.
If it werenât for Li Jingâs presence, she too wouldâve loved to go over and take a closer look, perhaps even touch it.
Coveting with her eyes on the dragon horn, Xu Jiayi finally spoke.
"Letâs finish the matter at hand first. Brother Li is in a hurry. The dragon horn can wait, there will be plenty of opportunities later for all of you to study it."
At Xu Jiayiâs words, the appraisers reluctantly left the snakeâs head and began to busy themselves with their tasks.
Seeing that the appraisers were back to work, Xu Jiayi turned around.
"Brother Li, this dragon horn of yours is incredibly valuable, but itâs also incredibly difficult to deal with."
"Iâm aware."
Li Jing responded, smiling slightly.
"Is your shop interested in this dragon horn?"
Xu Jiayi raised an eyebrow, saying,
"Of course weâre interested. Having this item in our shop isnât as simple as having a piece of shop treasure. It could attract countless customers and possibly even Seventh Realm strong ones."
With that, she continued in an intriguing way.
"But buying this dragon horn will cost too much."
"We can negotiate the price. Weâre both reasonable people here, no need to beat around the bush."
Li Jing shook his head and replied,
"I donât need anything else, only high-quality nourishing spirit materials. After the appraisal is done, you give me 1.5 times the estimated value in cash. How about that?"
"1.5 times?"
Xu Jiayiâs eyes flashed brightly, and she responded with a radiant smile,
"Being able to obtain it at 1.5 times the estimated value, our shop would make a huge profit even if we just put this dragon horn on display. If youâre willing to accept the loss, Brother Li, I have no complaints."
"Itâs not about losses. This item is just a display in my hands too."
Li Jing said calmly,
"But I do have a condition. The parts from the ox demon a few days ago should still be on hand. I need your shop to buy them at the agreed price along with this dragon horn. And these six Fifth Boundary monsters, I want them all exchanged for high-quality nourishing spirit materials."
"This..."
Xu Jiayi hesitated before nodding.
"Okay, I will calculate the cost for you. The high-quality nourishing spirit materials you need are specific, we might not have enough stock, we might have to borrow from other shops."
"Thatâs not a problem, I can wait."
Li Jing responded.
"Alright. The valuation of the dragon horn will take a while. Once the results are out, Iâll go upstairs to fetch the existing high-quality spirit materials from the shop to give you, and then Iâll go to other shops to borrow some more."
Xu Jiayi said before adding,
"Also, Master Moâs array disk arrived a while ago, Iâll get that for you as well in a bit."
"Sounds good."
Li Jing smiled.
When it came to negotiations, things were always straightforward between people who understood how the business worked.
Li Jing was well aware that the dragon horn was difficult to deal with.
Even if he was trading it for something else, not many people in Dragon Nation would have the ability to make that trade, especially given his specific demands.
Similarly, Xu Jiayi mentioning that the dragon horn would be difficult to handle hinted at her interest in it as well.
For Li Jing, this was a good sign.
Stuck with a highly valuable dragon horn that he had no use for, he was at a loss of what to do with it.
He could sell it off cheaply to a wealthy merchant or individual, but that was not ideal.
Replacing the conditions with Xu Jiayiâs family was much better.
It was better to take a loss with oneâs own people while imposing some conditions.
After two days, there was no movement from Mister Zhangâs ox horns and other parts; he didnât want to wait much longer.
If he retailed as usual, it could possibly take several months or even years to sell.
Keeping it in the Capital would perhaps make it easier to dispose of.
Unfortunately, the Capital was currently in a complete mess. All the wealthy and powerful individuals were busy backstabbing each other and unlikely to have the energy or time to earnestly research and purchase materials.
If they did have the leisure to do so, they would have sent someone to Jianghai once they heard the news.
LÇ Jingâs prior decision to bring Mister Zhang back to Jianghai for disposal was due to this consideration.
...
Because Mister Long was so large and there were six other Fifth Boundary monsters, the appraisal work took almost five hours.
It was not until eight in the evening that the appraisal was completely finished.
The dragon horn was ultimately valued at 13 billion.
Such a price was quite attractive.
Just as expected, all the other parts of Mister Long were almost entirely destroyed.
Only the head, where the dragon horn was, was well preserved.
However, since Mister Long was a snake that had become a monster, he neither had poisonous teeth nor a venomous pancake. Besides a brain, his skull only had two rows of somewhat sharp teeth.
One canât expect much from the teeth of a python.
Monsters like Mister Long, who have awakened the talent of dragon transformation, usually focus their cultivation on their dragon horns.
The appraisal confirmed this. The two rows of about a hundred teeth were roughly equivalent to the Fifth Boundary level, and they could barely be worth 200 million.
That was the result of him having many teeth...
However, with the valuation of the dragon horn, Li Jing didnât anticipate much.
When it came to the six female monsters, it gave him a headache.
Six female monsters.
The only thing special was Yao Jiali, and that was because her body was relatively light, her fur smooth, which could fetch a good price.
The remaining five couldnât compare to Sun Biao.
Sun Biao at least had a whip.
And it was special!
One additional part made a world of difference.
The six female monsters were worth about 1.9 billion in total.
Among them, Yao Jiali was worth 400 million, and the remaining five averaged about 300 million.
After the valuation, Li Jing had Spirit Weapon Qingfeng carve out the dragon horn from Mister Long and handed it over to Xu Jiayi, while he kept the remaining carcass.
Then he waited in the store for another two hours.
Eventually, he got a total of 323 spirit materials for nourishing spirit weapons from Xu Jiayi.
Xu Jiayi really had endurance.
She had nearly emptied her familyâs inventory by swapping 128 high-quality nourishing spirit materials worth 64 billion, including the parts of six female monsters, Mister Longâs two rows of teeth, and Mister Zhangâs components.
Within only two hours, she had miraculously borrowed 195 related spirit materials to make up for the shortage of the dragon horn.
Although fewer of them were of the wind attribute, and most were of yin, metal and water attributes, it was quite impressive for her to borrow so many from other families with such ease.
spirit materials for nourishing spirit weapons.
Of these, only 111 were of the wind attribute, the remaining 212 were of yin, metal and water attributes.
In this aspect, Li Jing didnât mind.
Itâs not that he was biased towards Linglong, but rather that Qingfengâs awakened attribute was hard to handle.
If he was picky, what could he do?
Having acquired such a large number of spirit materials to nourish spirit weapons, Li Jing left the spirit materials market feeling clear-headed and refreshed.
high-quality spirit nourishment materials, worth nearly 20 billion!
It was painful to dump this many, needless to say.
But he was looking forward to seeing how far Linglong and Qingfeng would grow after digesting all of this.
So far, he had only fed them a bit more than a hundred high-quality nourishing spirit materials, and they shared them between them, the rest were not of good quality.
He found a secluded place, called the two spirit weapons, and distributed the heaps of spirit materials to them.
Linglong, the little glutton, couldnât suppress her excitement. She rolled away her share of 212 items as if she was afraid Li Jing would renege, and hid them in his dantian.
Seeing the 111 items, Qingfeng was somewhat moved and said very modestly "Thanks for the feed, master", then rolled the spirit materials back to his spiritual platform.
These two wastrels barely appeared before each of them disappeared, leaving Li Jing to muse under the night breeze.
Twenty billion...
Just like, gone.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Xia Ai, asking her to transfer six billion to Ren Jie.
No sooner had Xia Ai completed the transfer, Ren Jie immediately sent a message.
"???."
Seeing the three question marks she sent, Li Jing composed a message.
"You should have seen the news by now, and you should be aware of the Intelligence Department and Special Action Teamâs progress. The matter is settled, the six billion is the 10% I promised you. If you think itâs too much, you can return 50 million to me. Initially you said there would be at least two Fifth Boundary Big Monsters, I only saw one in the cafe."
After a while, Ren Jie replied.
"So, you got 60 billion from the Demon Beast Union?"
"I donât like what youâre saying, I got it with my skills, how could you say I cheated?"
Li Jing replied, then composed a message.
"The matter ends here, you and I are even."
"Okay."
Ren Jie replied, then sent a voice message.
Li Jing was slightly irritated when he saw a voice message, raised his hand and clicked to play it.
"Good big brother, remember to include me next time thereâs such a big money-making opportunity."
"..."
Li Jing.
Ren Jieâs coquettish "good big brother" over the phone made him messed up.
Human nature, itâs not a big deal.
He had seen plenty of it in the female monsters around him.
If Ren Jie organized another union stronghold for him to poke into, he wouldnât mind calling her his own sister.
But for Ren Jie, an over two hundred years old Late Six Realm big demon, to send such a voice message without a second thought, it was weird.
Mysterious big demon, even your persona has collapsed huh!
Without much thought, Li Jing composed a message.
"If thereâs an opportunity, I will definitely look for you."
The chances of him and Ren Jie cooperating again in the future wouldnât be much.
After all, sheâs just expert at camouflage.
Once the hurdle of the Demon Beast Union was over, Li Jing couldnât think of anywhere else heâd need her.
Ren Jie, drifting around in the Intelligence Department with growth in the Dark Alley, certainly had plenty of information, but she herself, as a patrol, needed to exchange information for rewards.
Most of her information could be seen in the Patrol System, there was no need to specifically interact with her.
However, nothing is absolute, whether he would need her or not depends on the future.
After replying to Ren Jieâs message, Li saw it was already past ten oâclock at night. He didnât delay any longer and transformed into a thunderbolt heading towards the second phase of the Closed Moon Flower Garden.
Yulian had messaged him in the evening that Jiu Li had arrived at the villa.
He had to meet him and take Yulian back to East City.
It was getting late and he had to hurry.
Everything else could be put aside.
There was still a Liu Sisi waiting for him at home ...
...
