Senior Niu
Fu Chun glanced at his boss, whose face was full of mockery, and said bluntly, "Let me put it this way! The people before you also had a short talk time, but they felt they weren't satisfied with their conversation with Senior Niu, so they paid for an extra short talk. You see, if you also feel unsatisfied, wouldn't you also have to pay for an extra short talk? Isn't this saving you money and doing it for your own good?"
Yue Qianchou chuckled upon hearing this, but then sensed something was amiss. He gulped down a mouthful of tea, his expression remaining impassive...
Guan Zhongkai glanced back at Yue Qianchou, then at Fu Chun in front of him, his facial muscles twitching uncontrollably. He really wanted to kill this guy who was speaking so earnestly. He felt this kid was even more despicable than Niu Youde; seemingly sincere, but harboring treacherous intentions!
"You mean if I speak with Senior Niu again, I'll need to pay extra for an extra hour of his time?" Guan Zhongkai's tone turned cold. Having done business with people all over the world in the World Commerce Association, he'd seen ruthless merchants, but never one this ruthless—utterly outrageous.
"Senior Niu's time is precious, let's not waste time on meaningless chatter." Fu Chun sighed and said, "Mr. Guan, why waste your money? I'm really doing this for your own good, to avoid offending you for no reason. Please go back! There are many people waiting behind you! I'll see you off."
Yue Qianchou looked at Fu Chun with great satisfaction. He thought to himself, "Look at my eye for talent! I picked out such a person right away. He's Cultivation World one of the best in the cultivation world! Only people like him have a future! It seems that old Nong Zhu is the same way, but look at how well he's doing. He's living the high life. I'm so envious!"
"Fu Chun! Well done. These guys from prestigious sects are all scoundrels, they need to be taught a lesson. Go ahead and do it, I'll take care of everything. This boss specializes in dealing with these arrogant bastards." Yue Qianchou and transmitted his voice.
Guan Zhongkai's face darkened. Go back? What a joke! He wasn't his master's biological son; would he tolerate being humiliated again and again? Was there any way out now?
He now truly understood why those people who went out earlier had such dark expressions!
"I'll endure it!" Guan Zhongkai let out a long sigh of relief. Without saying a word, he took out another bag of Spirit Stone from his Storage Bag and handed it to Fu Chun, saying, "Buy another 100,000 high-grade Spirit Stones. Count them carefully for me."
"Mr. Guan, why are you doing this? Senior Niu said he really doesn't want to make money that goes against his conscience." Fu Chun gently pushed it back.
He himself was filled with sorrow. How could he have spoken to late Tribulation Transcendence stage expert from a prestigious sect like this? These arrogant fools didn't even look at them properly; they treated them like dirt. Killing them was as easy as lifting a finger. How many Rogue Cultivators' bones still lay silently weeping in the wilderness! How many more were driven to Rogue Cultivator worse than pigs and dogs?
Now that I have this opportunity, and the boss has promised to back me up, I'd really be doing myself a disservice if I didn't make the most of it. The boss is right, a bunch of scoundrels!
Guan Zhongkai handed over the Storage Bag again, saying each word clearly, "It's my choice."
Saying this makes me want to cry. Was it really voluntary? It was so damn unwilling, but I really had no choice!
To everyone's surprise Fu Chun pushed the Storage Bag back and said in a low voice, seemingly a little embarrassed, "Aren't you making things difficult for me? Someone offered 400,000 high-grade Spirit Stones to buy the second time slot, but you only gave 200,000. Who am I supposed to ask for that much less? I can't afford to pay for it myself."
"Four hundred thousand?" Guan Zhongkai barely suppressed his anger and said, "The price was only two hundred thousand for the time I missed just now. Why has it doubled in an instant?"
"Mr. Guan, this isn't just targeting you. Everyone does it this way. The rules were set by Senior Niu," Fu Chun said helplessly.
Guan Zhongkai glanced at Yue Qianchou, then turned back, his anger turning into a mocking laugh, "You don't even have a reason, you just raise prices like that, you're going too far!"
"Mr. Guan, you can't say that," Fu Chun explained solemnly. "Look, the time you've wasted on Senior Niu is enough for two more people to come in and meet him! That meeting fee would be 200,000, and if you buy another spare moment, that's another 200,000, making a total of 400,000 just right. Besides, no one is forcing you! You can leave if you don't want to! We've already advised you to go back, but you just..."
"Kid, you're playing me!" Guan Zhongkai finally couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed Fu Chun's shirt by the chest. His master was a master at the early Spirit Transformation stage, and his grandmaster was a master at the late Spirit Transformation stage realm. He was also the chief grand-disciple of the World Commerce Association, the most powerful organization in the Cultivation World. When had he ever suffered such a loss?
Fu Chun looked at Yue Qianchou with a slight sense of panic. After all, he had been suppressed by the intimidating power of prestigious sects for too long, and he couldn't help but feel subconsciously afraid. It's natural to feel some fear when someone makes a move.
"Yo ho! You're the first person to dare mess with me in front of me today. People from the World Commerce Association are something else!" Yue Qianchou slammed his teacup heavily on the coffee table, let out a cold "humph," and the terrifying aura contained within the black fire in his body surged out instantly.
The temperature inside the hall instantly dropped to freezing point, and a powerful and fierce icy aura enveloped Guan Zhongkai.
Despair, death, indifference, and other extreme negative emotions struck Guan Zhongkai like a heavy blow. His face turned pale instantly, and he hurriedly released Fu Chun. Looking at Yue Qianchou with a face full of terror, he stammered, "Senior... please calm Bai Qi, please calm down, let's... let's talk this out."
The despair emanating from the icy air rendered him almost devoid of any thought of resistance. At this moment, Yue Qianchou sat there as if Death himself were staring down at him from hell.
Fu Chun shuddered and took several steps back before escaping the chilling aura emanating from Guan Zhongkai. He stared at his boss in shock... When Guan Zhongkai grabbed him, he had sensed that the terrifying aura that suddenly enveloped Guan Zhongkai came from his boss—a terrifying aura that made one's soul tremble.
Although the terrifying aura wasn't directed at him, Fu Chun had no doubt that it could kill him with just that aura—it was terrifying!
For the first time, Fu Chun looked at Yue Qianchou with extreme awe, wondering just how high this boss's cultivation level was, as his abilities were becoming more and more frightening with each display!
"Now you know we can talk this out?" Yue Qianchou made an exception and spoke up without asking for money, but this was not a good thing for Guan Zhongkai. He said in an unusually cold tone, "You dare to touch my people in front of me? You're tired of living?"
These words brought tears to Fu Chun's eyes. It felt so good to have someone protecting him and supporting him! Since entering the Cultivation World, he had never heard such heartwarming words. They were more comforting than any other words.
"Misunderstanding... Misunderstanding, senior... Misunderstanding..." Guan Zhongkai stood there trembling, trying to teleport away from the terrifying aura that enveloped him, but found that the True Essence in his body seemed to have frozen as well.
The Netherworld Ghost Fire that can separate the human world from the underworld are no joke; they are rolling black flames burning between the two realms, a symbol of life and death for both. It should be known that even with Bi Changchun's cultivation level, he could not cross the Netherworld Sea of Fire, so its immense power is unimaginable.
When Yue Qianchou was still in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, he was able to control the black flame aura to subdue Ziyi, who was at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage Transcending stage. Now that his cultivation has soared to the mid Tribulation stage Transcending stage, his control over the black flame aura has improved dramatically. After locking onto Guan Zhongkai, he can sense his every move and increase his pressure at any time to prevent him from escaping. He also won't be as reckless as he was with Ziyi before, causing her to faint on the spot.
Of course, if Guan Zhongkai had escaped before Yue Qianchou locked onto him, Yue Qianchou wouldn't have been able to do anything about it, given the difference in their cultivation levels; he couldn't have caught up. The key issue was that he was momentarily careless and locked onto; trying to escape? With his current cultivation level, that would be very difficult.
Now, Yue Qianchou wanted him dead, it would be as easy as crushing an ant!
"Misunderstanding? I think you're just too arrogant!" Yue Qianchou sneered. "Don't think the World Commerce Association is so great. There are some people and some things that your World Commerce Association can't afford to mess with. Do you believe that even if I kill you right now, Yin Baikang won't be able to do anything about it?"
To be honest, given both old and new grudges, Yue Qianchou really wanted to kill him right now. However, for the sake of long-term planning, he decided to spare his life for the time being.
"I believe... I believe." Guan Zhongkai sensed a glimmer of hope in his words and hurriedly grabbed it, saying, "Please, senior, have mercy!" He had completely given in.
"Hmph! Show mercy? My hand is indeed merciful, and not just any merciful hand. And..." Yue Qianchou's face was cold and full of murderous intent, whether intentionally or not, as he slowly said, "You should have known when you entered this door that my words are golden and precious. You forced me to make an exception and speak... Hehe! How should we settle this score? You decide."
"This junior is willing to offer one million high-grade Spirit Stones to apologize to the senior!" Guan Zhongkai quickly replied.
He was now 100% convinced that Niu Youde was a Spirit Transformation stage expert, because the aura he emitted was terrifying, so much so that he couldn't even run away. Even his master couldn't do that! If this powerful aura alone was so formidable, what would happen if they actually fought? So he didn't feel wronged at all by calling himself a junior.
"One million? Heh heh! Your life is worth far too little!" Yue Qianchou suddenly shouted, "Money or your life?"
"This is terrible! This is terrible!" Guan Zhongkai was already barely holding on, was nearly scared to his knees by the sudden shout. Trembling, he said, "Senior, how much do you want!"
"How much do I want? I'm afraid you can't afford what I want." Yue Qianchou casually crossed his legs and pointed to the Storage Bag on his waist, saying, "I won't make things difficult for you, lest I accuse you of bullying a junior. I've always been kind and benevolent, and I'm not such a greedy person. I don't want more than what's in this Storage Bag; take as much as you have!"
