Dragon Horses Aren't Horses

"Then let's talk about compensation." Song Shuhang sat down, thinking about what he urgently needed, "Do you have Spirit Beast Crystal?"

"Yes, yes, I have a lot of these," the Black Horse Spirit replied immediately.

Besides being Stud Demon, he is also a horse king. In addition to many horse demons, he also has many horse-type spirit beasts, donkey-type spirit beasts, and camel-type spirit beasts under his command.

Over the years, these spirit beasts have accumulated a considerable amount of Spirit Beast Crystal. Since Spirit Beast Crystal cannot be absorbed and used like Spirit Stone, they only accumulate more and more.

"What kinds do you have?" Song Shuhang asked.

"There are horses, donkeys, and camels. Just these three kinds, but I have quite a few." The Black Horse Spirit forced a smile onto its face.

"Give me a dozen of each kind," Song Shuhang. He already had the horse-type spirit crystal beasts, but he was missing the donkey and camel types... However, since his Whale Swallowing Technique wasn't like the 'Thirty-Three Beasts' where you could only swallow one of each kind of Spirit Beast Crystal, he could continuously devour various Spirit Beast Crystal just like he used Spirit Stone.

"No problem, a dozen of each kind." Although he didn't know exactly how much a dozen was, given Black Horse Spirit's stock, he could produce more than two hundred of each kind.

Of course, he wouldn't take out that many; at most, he'd take a hundred of each.

Although this thing can only be piled up for decoration and cannot be eaten, it is shiny and full of spirit, and it is pleasing to look at.

"Then it's settled." Song Shuhang nodded.

The Black Horse Spirit was taken aback, then excitedly asked, "Is this all the compensation you want, young fellow Daoist?"

"Yes, I only need Spirit Beast Crystal," Song Shuhang replied.

The Black Horse Spirit's eyes immediately welled up with tears again. "You... you're such a good person."

"Hehe." Song Shuhang smiled shyly, then said to Young Master Phoenix Slayer, "As for the rest of the compensation matters, please handle them, Senior Phoenix Slayer. I don't know much about the treasures of the Cultivator World, and besides, it was you who captured the Black Horse Spirit Phoenix Slayer."

"That's right, I'll take over next." Young Master Phoenix Slayer pushed up his glasses, his wisdom shining through from every angle.

Black Horse Spirit broke out in a cold sweat.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer sat down in front of the Black Horse Spirit, crossing his long legs. "You have the Thousand-Mile Fruit, right?"

The Thousand-Mile Fruit is a spiritual fruit that can strengthen a cultivator's legs and enhance their movement techniques. It is often found alongside horse-type spirit beasts and demonic beasts.

"There are some," the Black Horse Spirit replied— the Thousand-Mile Fruit is also very important to horse-type demon beasts and spirit beasts.

"Give me a ton." Young Master Phoenix Slayer adjusted his glasses.

"You might as well just kill me!" The Black Horse Spirit rolled its eyes—what do you think spirit fruits are? Apples? Counted by the ton?

Young Master Phoenix Slayer swung the Demon-Binding Rope and lashed it repeatedly.

The Black Horse Spirit screamed in agony.

Song Shuhang's eye twitched... He felt that Young Master Phoenix Slayer was just looking for excuses to slap the Black Horse Spirit.

"Ten? That's the most I can make," the Black Horse Spirit shouted. "Any more than that, you can kill me and I still can't make any more."

Young Master Phoenix Slayer: "Alright, ten then."

After saying that, he turned to Song Shuhang and said, "Ten Thousand Thousand-Mile Fruit, remember them. Eating them raw can enhance a cultivator's leg strength, which is very beneficial for improving movement techniques. We'll split them 50/50."

"Thank you, senior." Song Shuhang took out his phone and wrote it down.

"Then, two spirit beasts, the Dragon Horse," Young Master Phoenix Slayer continued.

The Black Horse Spirit gritted his teeth. "Okay."

"All white, not all black or zebra-striped. If it's your doing, I'll feel nauseous," Young Master Phoenix Slayer added.

The Black Horse Spirit gritted his teeth and squeezed out a "good".

Young Master Phoenix Slayer concluded, "As for the rest, judging by your poor appearance, you can't offer anything of value. Ten thousand rank 15 Spirit Stone will suffice."

The Black Horse Spirit rolled its eyes again, looking like a dead salted fish. "You can have my life, but you can't have Spirit Stone!"

Young Master Phoenix Slayer's eye twitched, and he pulled out the Demon-Binding Rope, whipping it mercilessly once more.

The Black Horse Spirit screamed repeatedly, "No Spirit Stone! Ah~~ We really don't have any! We used up all the Spirit Stone we had right away. My tribe is so big, where would we get extra Spirit Stone?"

"Even poorer than I imagined." Young Master Phoenix Slayer put away the Demon-Binding Rope with dissatisfaction. "Contact your subordinates and send the goods to the China port. We'll exchange the goods for the people then."

"Give me back my phone, I need to make a call home," the Black Horse Spirit said through gritted teeth.

Song Shuhang blinked—were all the Black Horse Spirit's subordinates horses? It seemed that besides the Black Horse Spirit, there weren't any other Fifth-Grade Transformation horses, were there?

How will they answer the phone then? Will they use their hooves?

"Alright, this Black Horse Spirit is dealt with." Young Master Phoenix Slayer Miefeng pointed to the man in black who was still calling out 'alpaca, alpaca': "What about this one?"

Song Shuhang replied, "Once we arrive in China, let's find a way to send him to Senior Medicine Master. Then we'll deal with him when Venerable White returns."

"The Medicine Master? Then give it to me. I'm going to the Medicine Master's place anyway; I need him to refine a pill for me," said Young Master Phoenix Slayer.

"Then I'll have to trouble Senior Phoenix Slayer!"

"You're welcome, it's just a small favor." Young Master Phoenix Slayer pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a cruel light.

The man in black who was shouting suddenly felt a chill run through his body, and his shouting stopped.

Two days later.

July 25th, Thursday. Sunny. By White Whale Saber Expert.

White Whale Saber Expert is Song Shuhang's Daoist name today.

The Seven Lives Talisman Lord's luxury cruise ship arrived at the Sanghai City dock in Huaxia.

Originally, Song Shuhang wanted the cruise ship to dock directly in Wenzhou City, but... all of Black Horse Spirit's subordinates were gathered in Sanghai City, so he had no choice but to have the cruise ship dock in Sanghai.

"We're back, China, we're back!" The passengers on the ship were all beaming with excitement as they disembarked.

Some people huddled together, tears streaming down their faces.

The people around them were looking at the group of passengers with strange eyes.

Afterwards, the passengers said goodbye to each other and went their separate ways.

They rushed home using all sorts of transportation.

Gao Moumou and Tubo planned to go to the airport first to see if there were any flights home.

"Shuhang, aren't you coming back with us?" Gao Moumou asked.

Song Shuhang laughed and said, "I have to go with a friend to take care of some things. It's okay, don't worry about me. We'll call each other when I get home."

Beside him, Young Master Phoenix Slayer gave Gao Moumou and the others a friendly smile.

"Then take care of yourself," Gao Moumou, waving his hand.

Since Shuhang had other matters to attend to, Gao Moumou and the others went to the airport first.

On the way, Gao Moumou asked, "By the way, who's that friend of Shuhang's? Has anyone seen him before?"

Tubo: "I haven't met him, but Shuhang has all sorts of friends. Even that island lord is his friend; I can't imagine how the two of them became friends."

Zhuge Yue: "Did you guys notice how cute that friend standing next to Shuhang was? I really wanted to go up and touch him."

Gao Moumou: "..."

Tubo: "Cute? No way." He simply couldn't associate the humanoid creature with glasses, whose lenses occasionally reflected a glint of intelligence, with the word 'cute'.

"You guys really have no taste. It's clearly so cute," Zhuge Yue murmured.

******************************

Sima Jiang, carrying the large box, said to Song Shuhang, "Well Shuhang, I'll be going now. I need to contact Harvest Express to deliver this package to the customer."

Beside him were two Chu Household, who were also going back with Sima Jiang.

"Jiang, no rush." Song Shuhang waved his hand. "Wait for me a moment. I'm acquainted with that old man from the Chu Household, and I also have something to discuss with him. Let's go together in a bit."

"Okay." Sima Jiang nodded. Being able to travel with Song Shuhang would also enhance their friendship.

"Jiang, wait here for a moment. My friend and I are going to pick up some things, and we'll be leaving in a bit," Song Shuhang said with a smile.

Song Shuhang and Young Master Phoenix Slayer entered a warehouse at the dock.

There, several men in black suits stood guard over the warehouse with cool expressions. On such a hot day, just looking at their clothes made you feel unbearably hot.

"Huh, it's a human." Song Shuhang. He had thought that the Black Horse Spirit's subordinates would be horses.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer, carrying two large boxes, asked, "Are all the goods here?"

"Yes, it's all here. Please check." A man in black opened several wooden boxes.

First are three hundred Beast Spirit Crystal, in three categories: horse, donkey, and camel. They were all 'carefully selected' – Spirit Beast Crystal were all born from Second-Grade- grade spirit beasts.

Only among the camel-type Spirit Beast Crystal were a few 'Third-Grade' ones. This was because there were relatively few camel-type Spirit Beast Crystal, and it was impossible to collect enough low-grade Grade Second-Grade, so they had to use precious Third-Grade Spirit Beast Crystal to make up the difference.

Then, in a small box, were ten fist-sized purple-gold fruits, which looked somewhat like green dates. These were the 'Thousand-Mile Fruit,' and their effects were best achieved when consumed directly without being refined into pills.

The last two boxes should contain the two Dragon Horses.

The two boxes weren't very big; they didn't seem big enough to hold an adult horse.

"This guy isn't going to send us two foals, is he?" Song Shuhang guessed— the Spirit Beast Crystal the other party sent would all be 'carefully selected' and replaced with low-grade Second-Grade.

Judging by this pattern, the Dragon Horse they send is probably a young horse, right?

"If he dares to send a young pony, I'll beat him to death," Young Master Phoenix Slayer said coldly.

Then, Young Master Phoenix Slayer opened the box.

As soon as the box was opened, a strong smell of seawater hit us.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a violent glint in his eyes. "You dare play word games with me, huh?"

Young Master Phoenix Slayer opened a box he had brought, revealing a Black Horse Spirit bound like a dumpling inside.

"Filthy, filthy, filthy," the Black Horse Spirit whimpered.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer took out the Demon-Binding Rope and began whipping the Black Horse Spirit repeatedly...

"Ahhh~~ It hurts so much~~ Ahhh, no~ Ahhh~ Stop~~" the Black Horse Spirit screamed repeatedly.
