Beast Arena (Part 1)

Chapter 009: Beast Arena (Part 1)

Zhang Lingyun had expected that his taunting of Qin Shaofeng would at least provoke some anger.

But he was wrong.

"Steward Fang, I'm not here for anything else today. I just want to take a look at some low-level Demonic Beasts. If I like any, I might take a few home to play with!"

Ignored!

Completely ignored!

Qin Shaofeng acted as if he hadn't heard Zhang Lingyun at all, smiling as he spoke to Steward Fang.

"Qin Shaofeng, you..."

Qin Shaofeng's attitude enraged Zhang Lingyun once more. His expression darkened, and he almost couldn't help but charge at Qin Shaofeng.

But then he saw Steward Fang and immediately remembered where he was – a place even his own father wouldn't dare offend!

A cold sweat broke out on his brow, and Zhang Lingyun quickly suppressed his anger.

However, the way he looked at Qin Shaofeng was filled with even more fury.

Meanwhile, Qin Shaofeng continued to act as if Zhang Lingyun didn't exist, smiling at Steward Fang.

This young master of the Qin family doesn't seem to be in the desperate state of having his cultivation crippled and Dantian shattered, as the rumors suggest!

Qin Shaofeng's demeanor earned a silent nod of approval from Steward Fang. He chuckled and said, "Oh, I see. What a coincidence! Our Beast Arena just received a batch of excellent low-level Demonic Beasts recently. I'll take you to see them right away, Young Master Qin."

However, Steward Fang clearly hadn't forgotten about Zhang Lingyun. Although he generally looked down on Zhang Lingyun, as a businessman, he eventually offered a smile and said, "If you're interested too, Young Master Zhang, why don't you come along?"

After shooting an angry glance at Qin Shaofeng, Zhang Lingyun considered it for a moment before nodding to Steward Fang. "Alright then, thank you for your trouble, Steward Fang!"

Following Steward Fang, Qin Shaofeng and Zhang Lingyun arrived at the backyard of the Beast Arena.

Normally, ordinary people weren't allowed into the backyard of the Beast Arena. This wasn't where the beasts fought, but where they were kept. Non-staff were forbidden from entering.

However, given the status of Qin Shaofeng and Zhang Lingyun, Steward Fang didn't make a fuss about it.

As Steward Fang had said, the Beast Arena had indeed acquired a new batch of low-level Demonic Beasts.

The beasts in the cages throughout the backyard exuded a wild aura, clearly new to the arena and yet to be tamed.

But these didn't meet Qin Shaofeng's requirements.

Under normal circumstances, the combat power possessed by low-level Demonic Beasts suitable for the arena would be far superior to the chickens and ducks in the Qin Manor.

Although the giant fire turkey and the domestic porcupine were classified as low-level Demonic Beasts by the system, Qin Shaofeng knew that any one of these beasts, at the same level, could easily slaughter all the chickens and ducks in the Qin Manor.

Therefore, the price of these low-level Demonic Beasts would definitely not be low.

Sigh, this is bad. I don't have much in the way of Gold Notes, so I can only buy a few.

Qin Shaofeng was troubled. He only brought a little over a thousand Gold Notes, which meant he could afford at most two or three low-level Demonic Beasts.

In this world, wealth was measured in gold and silver.

One tael of gold was equal to ten taels of silver. A thousand taels of gold in Gold Notes was actually quite a sum.

After all, an ordinary family could live comfortably on about ten taels of silver a month.

"Which Demonic Beasts have caught your eye, young sirs? I can offer a discount!" Steward Fang said at this moment.

Despite mentioning a discount, the way he looked at Qin Shaofeng and Zhang Lingyun was no different from how he'd look at two fat sheep.

He could see the conflict between Qin Shaofeng and Zhang Lingyun, but the situation only benefited him.

After all, conflict led to competition!

And competition allowed him to make a substantial profit!

Alas, if only Steward Fang knew that I only have a little over a thousand Gold Notes on me, I wonder if he'd still have such thoughts.

Seeing Steward Fang's enthusiasm, Qin Shaofeng chuckled inwardly and then said hesitantly, "Well, actually, I..."

But before Qin Shaofeng could finish speaking, Zhang Lingyun on the side immediately sneered, "Our Young Master Qin certainly won't disappoint Steward Fang. Given his current tastes, I suspect Steward Fang will make a fortune!"
