"How's the situation?"
Xiao Tian lay back in his chair with a satisfied smile, watching the strange beasts set up their new home, and sent a voice message to Elder Ye Ming.
"Lord City Lord, the young prodigy of the Peacock Clan, after setting a price for his treasured five-colored feathers at the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion, bought one hundred bags of rice from the Zhongliang Rice Shop."
Xiao Tian couldn't help but laugh.
"Lord City Lord, I've also made arrangements with the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion."
Xiao Tian Xiao even more heartily.
"Poor little birds, who told you to fall into my hands! Since you're going to live on my turf, how can I not squeeze something out of you?"
When the Golden-Winged Great Peng King learned that the rice shop did not accept gold or silver, and that Kong Tianye had to exchange his own five-colored feathers for 100 bags of rice, he was so angry that he almost flew into the city lord's mansion.
"Damn it! If this continues, won't we be killed?"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng King suddenly regretted coming to Luo Cheng. Rather than suffer humiliation, he would have preferred to fight to the death against the monsters in the fog.
"This can't go on! Otherwise, sooner or later we'll be skinned alive by that evil human Xiao Tian!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng King, now possessing a human heart, has secretly approached the City Lord's Mansion!
However, the two noticed it as soon as it approached the city lord's mansion!
Those were Xiao Tian and Chu Feng.
Xiao Tian was too lazy to deal with the Golden-Winged Great Peng King, so he let Chu Feng handle it.
Just as the Golden-Winged Great Peng King was about to enter the city lord's mansion, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, sending shivers down his spine. He instinctively turned around, his hand forming a claw, and ripped away.
Why is Peng King so agitated?
Clang!
Sparks flew as Chu Feng easily blocked the Golden-Winged Great Peng King's fierce attack with his bare hands, staring at the Golden-Winged Great Peng King with a 'kind' look.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng King was greatly alarmed. He looked at Chu Feng and was surprised to find that, in this Luo Cheng, besides the evil human Xiao Tian, there was someone else who could rival it.
Who are you?
Chu Feng smiled and said, "The city lord's secretary."
The Golden-Winged Great Peng King's face instantly turned icy cold, and he said in a chilling voice, "Where is Xiao Tian! I want to see him!"
" Peng King, our city lord has left Luo Cheng. If there's anything you need, you can speak to me."
"You?" The Golden-Winged Great Peng King sneered, clearly understanding that Xiao Tian didn't want to see it at all.
"Talk to you? I want enough food. I brought my people to Luo Cheng with good intentions, but Xiao Tian's humiliation of us has enraged me!"
Chu Feng laughed and said, " Peng King, our city lord has always been open-minded and charitable. Although you are of a different race, our city lord set aside his prejudices, allowed you to enter the city, and gave you land to live on. He never intended to make things difficult for you, so how could you be considered a humiliation?"
Xiao Tian did not actually make things difficult for the Golden-Winged Great Peng King and the others; he simply wanted to exploit them and gain profit.
Xiao Tian's motives were so pure, how could they be called evil?
The Golden-Winged Great Peng King finally understood what the language gap between humans meant!
"Then please inform your city lord that our clan intends to leave Luo Cheng!"
Chu Feng was not surprised at all upon hearing this, and smiled, "Alright, if the Peacock Clan and other alien races choose to leave Luo Cheng, we will definitely cooperate and send you out of the city, as long as it does not affect the lives of other citizens."
The Golden-Winged Great Peng King's face darkened; it seemed they would have to pay a price to leave the city.
"When will your city lord return? I need to see him!"
" Peng King, I'm sorry, our city lord is always elusive, and I don't know when he will return. If he does return, I will inform him of your situation."
At this moment, the Golden-Winged Great Peng King felt extremely aggrieved, as if he were about to enjoy a delicious lunch only to find half a dead fly inside.
"Snort!"
Xiao Tian, who witnessed the conversation between the Golden-Winged Great Peng King and Chu Feng throughout the city, was laughing so hard his stomach hurt.
Five days have passed in the blink of an eye!
The Golden-Winged Great Peng King was constantly worried about the food for his people. The price of grain in the city was rising day by day. He had inquired and found that the price was only exorbitant when sold to them, while it was only the normal market price when sold to the humans of Luo Cheng.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng King tried various methods but failed to purchase grain at the normal price, seemingly being monitored throughout the process.
"Damn it! At this rate, our resources will be depleted sooner or later! Are we going to have to sell our blood, feathers, and spare parts to survive in the future?!"
The mighty Golden-Winged Great Peng King, whose bloodline had returned to its ancestral form, was extremely frustrated at this moment. Suddenly, it had a thought that it would disregard its clan, escape from Luo Cheng, and roam Carefree in the vast world!
" Peng King! Come with me to the City Lord's Mansion to retrieve our people!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng King's expression changed drastically. It didn't know when Chu Feng had appeared in front of it. This kind of unpredictable and elusive method had left it completely unaware. If he were to harm it, it would likely be in grave danger.
"Could it be the Carefree Realm? If even the secretary is like this, then could Xiao Tian have already reached the Carefree Realm??"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng King began to feel uneasy. He sent it to the City Lord's Mansion to retrieve the people; had one of his clansmen committed a crime?
Upon arriving at the city lord's office in the city lord's mansion, the Golden-Winged Great Peng King only saw the Peacock King, the Nightingale King, the Savage Bull King, and the White Crane King wearing platinum handcuffs. Although the four had not been tortured, they were in somewhat poor mental condition.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng King finally met Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian's face was ashen, his eyes filled with malice. This meeting made the Golden-Winged Great Peng King tremble with fear, knowing that it was no match for Xiao Tian at the moment.
Xiao Tian sat casually in the chair, and the invisible pressure emanating from him, like a self- Great Dao, made the Golden-Winged Great Peng King realize there was a problem.
" The Carefree Realm! This fellow has truly reached the Carefree Realm!" The Golden-Winged Great Peng King felt a deep sorrow; it feared that revenge was now hopeless.
"Lord Xiao... City Lord Xiao, what has my juniors done wrong?"
"Hehehe..." Xiao Tian Xiao coldly, clearly furious.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng King sensed that the surrounding layout had changed, becoming incredibly cold, causing all the blood vessels in its body to involuntarily contract.
" Peng King, when we first entered the city, I instructed you to manage your men well. But what did you do? You ignored my words! Your men are actually threatening the very lifeblood of countless citizens of Luo Cheng —the granary! Are you addicted to banditry? Can't you tolerate even a little bit of rules and order?"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng King's face was grim, and his cold eyes swept over the four fools: the Peacock King, the Nightingale King, the Savage Bull King, and the White Crane King.
The four of them dared not meet the gaze of the Golden-Winged Great Peng King, humbly lowering their heads and not daring to utter a sound.
" Peng King, do you know how much damage was done to the granary? It's enough to feed your voracious beast herd for two months!"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng King had already realized that he was about to suffer a huge loss.
" City Lord Xiao, how will you compensate us?"
Xiao Tian sneered, " Peng King, is this a matter of compensation? This is a matter of attitude! If we run out of grain, we can continue planting. We can tighten our belts temporarily and get through this. But if your attitude is not corrected and you continue to cause such incidents in the future, and next time you blow up our granaries and kill our grain farmers, will our Luo Cheng still exist?"
The Golden-Winged Great Peng King was furious; Xiao Tian had clearly found an opportunity to provoke it.
" City Lord Xiao, I will teach my men a lesson! If there is a next time, City Lord Xiao, just kill them!"
The four, including the Peacock King, couldn't help but tremble!
"Hehehe..." However, Xiao Tian was not impressed or satisfied with the Golden-Winged Great Peng King's words.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng King's expression darkened as he stared at Xiao Deva Path, " City Lord Xiao, what do you intend to do?"
Xiao Tian took out a piece of paper and handed it to the Golden-Winged Great Peng King.
After reading this, the Golden-Winged Great Peng King was so angry that he almost revealed his true form!
The document contained a plan, in which the City Lord's Mansion would be responsible for some of the food, but the Peng King and his companions would need to provide certain financial support, such as five-colored feathers, ox horns, cowhide, Bai He crane feathers, and other spiritual items.
This is an unequal treaty!
But even the Golden-Winged Great Peng King was helpless; it had no possibility of resistance! It couldn't resist! It was powerless to resist!
"Very well! I agree!"
Xiao Tian Xiao. That's it? So easy? He was disappointed. Actually, he would have preferred to eat Cola chicken wings.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng King caught the fleeting look of disappointment in Xiao Heavenly Eye, and felt a chill run down his spine.
"Evil fellow! How terrifying! Trying to provoke me into death, to become Cola chicken wing on my dinner table?!"
After paying bail, the Golden-Winged Great Peng King took his four juniors with him and left the city lord's mansion feeling extremely frustrated.
