Welcome, Angel Investor—I'll Conquer the World for You!

Not long after Yun Yun finished eating, her seal was lifted, and she also sensed Xiao Chuan's departure.

For Xiao Chuan to escape from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's grasp, his strength—or rather, his speed—was definitely no less than hers.

Feeling the strange taste in her mouth, Yun Yun immediately went to the riverbank and gulped down several mouthfuls of water to rinse it away.

During the three days she had spent with Xiao Chuan, she had roughly come to understand what kind of person he was.

Whether he was good or bad.

But from another perspective, this guy was the worst—without equal!!

Recalling those scenes, Yun Yun's cheeks flushed slightly. The dignified Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect had actually done such things.

It seemed only the two of them knew. If anyone else found out, she would be too ashamed to go on living in this world.

After Xiao Chuan left, a hint of loneliness appeared on Yun Yun's face. This Youth would never stop at the Jia Ma Empire.

Perhaps when they met again, his cultivation would have already surpassed hers.

Yun Yun knew this had been a transaction. Now that their deal was over, it was time for them to return to their separate lives.

Three days later.

As Xiao Chuan flew along, whenever he saw a horse pass by, the image of Dou Qi Transforms into Horse would appear in his mind.

Damn it!!

At last, Xiao Chuan looked at the map and finally arrived at Black Rock City.

Among all the major cities of the Jia Ma Empire, Black Rock City ranked among the best.

Xiao Chuan's purpose in coming here was simple: the various precious medicinal ingredients in Gu Te's possession.

Especially the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

It was one of the essential ingredients for refining the Blood Lotus Pill.

After entering Black Rock City, Xiao Chuan immediately asked around and soon learned where Gu Te lived.

He did not like bargaining with people. He preferred direct and extreme methods.

For example, "borrowing"!!

Another word for it was investment. Throughout the Dou Qi Continent, the most successful investor was Hai Dong Bo.

He was an Angel Investor.

As for whether Gu Te wanted to be an Angel Investor, don't worry about that. My rules are the rules!!

It was a dark and windy night.

Gu Te was inside, toying with the treasures he had acquired. He had spent his entire life's effort collecting them.

These treasures were like his concubines. He cherished every single one, wishing he could hold them all while he slept.

Gu Te was in an excellent mood. He lay in his rocking chair and closed his eyes when a wave of drowsiness suddenly swept over him.

There was no sound of wind outside.

Instead, it was strangely quiet.

A Black Shadow suddenly appeared outside the house and slipped into Gu Te's home at the fastest speed.

Although Gu Te was in the Dou Spirit Realm, it would have been utterly embarrassing if Dou Wang Xiao Chuan had been detected by him.

After entering the house, Xiao Chuan quickly came up behind Gu Te and leaned close to his ear. "All your treasures have been stolen!"

Gu Te jerked upright, but before he could react, Xiao Chuan's hand chop had already struck him.

Gu Te rolled his eyes and collapsed back into the rocking chair.

Xiao Chuan looked at the paper and brush on the table and wrote out an IOU. Even he laughed after finishing it.

"Everything borrowed today shall never be denied. If I truly cannot repay it, then pretend I never said anything."

Xiao Chuan immediately cleaned out all of Gu Te's treasures. He was doing it for Gu Te's own good, after all—the more he invested, the larger his shareholding would be.

"Gu Te, so you could hold a larger share, I nearly filled up my Space Ring. Do you think that was easy for me?!"

Xiao Chuan felt that was about enough, but when he saw that Gu Te still had a Space Ring, he steeled his heart and could only take it away through tearful reluctance.

Let him state this first: it was not that he was greedy. He simply wanted Gu Te to hold more shares!!

"You'll thank me in a few days!" Before leaving, Xiao Chuan patted Gu Te's shoulder and then leaped out of the house.

A night passed.

Gu Te woke from his coma. He had had a nightmare last night, dreaming that all his treasures were gone.

But thankfully, it had only been a dream.

Yet Gu Te could not understand why the back of his head hurt so much, as if someone had driven an elbow into it.

"Eh, where did my storage ring go?"

"Where are my treasures?"

"Which bastard did this!!"

Looking at his completely ransacked treasure vault, Gu Te felt like dying. "Who exactly did this?!"

Soon, he spotted the IOU lying on the table. After reading it, he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

It was infuriating!!

Leaving an IOU was one thing, but the bastard had not even left a name!!

Wasn't this just freeloading?!

"Don't let me find out who you are, or I will tear out your tendons and skin you alive!"

Gu Te was so furious that he nearly failed to catch his breath, almost losing his status as an Angel Investor.

High in the distant sky, Xiao Chuan sneezed. "Could Xun Er be missing me? Or perhaps Ya Fei."

She somewhat missed Ya Fei's grandmother.

Back then, they had been too careless. They had not updated their methods with new tricks, and in the end, they had missed out.

They had to try it another day!

Xiao Chuan was in no hurry. Wherever he went, he would take a look around, treating this as a trip.

This was a desert region. The sun scorched the earth, and waves of heat rushed toward him.

Having lived two lives, it was Xiao Chuan's first time coming to a desert. Just arriving here made him never want to come again.

The reason he liked summer was because when summer came, girls would wear short skirts and sway around in front of him.

This place was utterly deserted. It would be good enough to see a magical beast—where would people come from?

After flying for several more days, Xiao Chuan finally received Xiao Yan's good news. This guy had finally broken through to Nine Stage Dou Disciple.

[Xiao Yan broke through to Nine Stage Dou Disciple → Congratulations, Host, on breaking through to Nine Star Dou King!]

"My good little brother, you really haven't disappointed me." Xiao Chuan said happily, "Cultivate well. Third Brother will conquer the world outside!"

He followed the crowd through the city gate, but when it was his turn, the guards stopped him.

"To enter the city, you need..."

Before the guard could finish, the Aura of a Dou Wang erupted from Xiao Chuan's body, instantly forcing all the guards before him to their knees.

"Do I still need it?"

"N-No need..."

the guard said with difficulty.

Xiao Chuan asked, "Which direction is the Mo Tie Mercenary Group?"

Feeling the pressure vanish, the guard immediately pointed respectfully in one direction. "The Mo Tie Mercenary Group is over there!!"

Xiao Chuan gave a grunt and entered through the city gate, heading in the direction indicated.

After he left, two figures appeared among the crowd.

"Who is that guy? He's so strong! And he specifically asked for the Mo Tie Mercenary Group?"

"Could he be an enemy of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group? He sure looks like one. Should we go back and notify the commander?"

"I think we should. If the Mo Tie Mercenary Group is gone, Shi Mo City will belong to us from then on!"

These two were members of the Sha Zhi Mercenary Group.

There were a total of three mercenary groups in all of Shi Mo City. The Sha Zhi Mercenary Group ranked first, while the Mo Tie Mercenary Group led by Xiao Chuan's two older brothers ranked second.

The Bao Feng Mercenary Group ranked third.

Together, they ruled all of Shi Mo City, but the conflicts between the mercenary groups had grown increasingly intense.

Especially between the Sha Zhi Mercenary Group and the Mo Tie Mercenary Group—they had reached the point of being utterly irreconcilable.

By now, Xiao Chuan had found the Mo Tie Mercenary Group. He stepped inside and saw two familiar faces standing in the spacious Martial Arts Arena.
