"Not a single one of them had any!"
"Old man, where are the Black Tortoise Divine Pills?"
"Spill it, or you'll be sorry!"
Cao Yu had pulled a pile of Storage Soul Tools off the group, but none contained the Black Tortoise Divine Pills he wanted. There were plenty of bizarre things, though.
Especially on this old man.
He looked perfectly respectable on the surface, but in reality, he got up to wilder things than anyone.
The old man's Storage Soul Tool held quite a few goodies.
Things like Bewil... Intoxicating Powder, Har... Har... Pleasure Pills, and Tiger... Penis Wine.
Tsk, tsk!
Quite something.
"Hey! Old man, you're a fucking talent!"
Steward Liu was so ashamed he wished he could bury his head in the ground. This was a full-blown public humiliation.
He smiled bitterly. "Young master, how could a servant like me possibly have Black Tortoise Divine Pills? Something that precious is only held by the Black Tortoise Sect's sect master and, besides him, the elders."
"You've got the wrong person!"
Having found no Black Tortoise Divine Pills, Cao Yu wasted no more time and simply had the Shadow Clone take them into the air.
They arrived at the Black Tortoise Sect together.
The Black Tortoise Sect's grounds were many times larger than the Cao Clan's.
Looking down from midair, he could see quite a few Black Tortoise Sect disciples training inside.
Boom!
"Take this!"
They clashed with Soul Power, fighting fiercely.
Then everyone looked up at the sky and spotted these uninvited guests.
The guards posted outside the Black Tortoise Sect spotted them and hurriedly shouted.
"Flying is forbidden here! Get down immediately, or we won't hold back!"
Cao Yu said nothing more and simply had the Shadow Clone release nine entirely red Soul Rings.
The terrifying pressure of a Limit Douluo instantly made everyone in the Black Tortoise Sect's breath catch.
Those who could not endure it fell flat on the ground, unable to move.
He turned his gaze to the old man and said, "Throw them back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Steward Liu and the others dropped from midair. A surge of Soul Power supported them, so they were not too disheveled.
The Shadow Clone's presence had already alarmed the Black Tortoise Sect.
Before long, several old men and a middle-aged man flew over from afar, calling loudly.
"Senior, what brings you to the Black Tortoise Sect?"
Meanwhile, the people outside stopped to watch the spectacle.
The Black Tortoise Sect disciples lying on the ground looked eager. "The sect master and elders are finally here!"
"We're saved!"
"I wouldn't count on it. These elders only just advanced to Soul Douluo. Even with the sect master, they're no match for them."
The middle-aged man looked to be in his forties or fifties, with a beard and a very stern expression.
He bowed with his hands clasped and said respectfully, "I am the sect master of the Black Tortoise Sect. May I ask what brings you here, Senior?"
"I won't waste words. This is a robbery!"
"Hand over the Black Tortoise Divine Pills!"
The older man in his forties shifted his gaze to the side, only then realizing that this handsome youth was the one truly in charge.
With a Titled Douluo guarding him, this youth was clearly no ordinary person!
But this youth actually wanted to rob them?
Although he did not know what they wanted the Black Tortoise Divine Pills for.
Could he refuse to hand them over?
Judging by this group's stance, if he refused, the Black Tortoise Sect might vanish from the Heaven Dou Empire in an instant.
When the time came, even everyone in the Black Tortoise Sect combined might not be able to stop that Titled Douluo.
After all, those terrifying nine entirely red Soul Rings had already chilled the sect master's heart halfway through.
This was no ordinary Titled Douluo!
So he turned and quietly said something to an elder, who took a Storage Soul Tool from his robes.
Then the elder took a pile of medicinal pills out of it.
The older man accepted them and said, "Young master, look, these are the Black Tortoise Divine Pills you wanted. This is the Black Tortoise Sect's entire stock. It's all here."
"I also hope you'll show us mercy, young master, and spare the disciples of my Black Tortoise Sect."
Having successfully obtained the Black Tortoise Divine Pills, Cao Yu nodded and said, "Very good. Since you know what's good for you, I won't make things difficult."
The Shadow Clone withdrew its nine Soul Rings. The pressure of its Soul Power immediately plummeted, and everyone climbed up from the ground, sighing in relief.
The older man hurriedly wiped away his sweat. His back was soaked with it. Seeing that Cao Yu still had not left, he muttered inwardly.
Why hasn't he left yet?
But our Black Tortoise Sect doesn't have anything else good.
Running into something this awful is eight lifetimes' worth of bad luck!
Cao Yu raised his head and said coldly, "What, feeling the pinch?"
The older man hurriedly waved his hands and said fearfully, "No, no!"
Cao Yu asked with a grin, "We didn't force you just now, did we?"
"You di... N-no!" The older man hastily corrected himself.
"We didn't?" The Shadow Clone raised its hand and aimed it at them.
"You really didn't!"
"Call me handsome."
"Handsome!"
"Very good! Here's your reward. Take it! Let's go."
[Ding! Applying Tenfold Cashback to your spending. Congratulations, host, on obtaining one hundred million Gold Soul Coins!]
With a broad wave of his hand, a crude Storage Soul Tool landed in the older man's hands.
He probed it with Soul Power, and what he saw next left him dumbfounded.
T-ten million!
The older man's eyes shone golden.
A robber who pays you?
That's far too unprofessional!
It's practically a disgrace to the profession of robbery.
But he soon figured it out.
It seems he only wanted to toy with the Black Tortoise Sect, not actually rob us!
The older man could only chalk this up to a wealthy young master's twisted sense of amusement.
The older man's attitude became respectful, and he said with a beaming smile, "Would you like to come in and sit for a while, noble young master? Have some tea, and offer these juniors a few pointers while you're at it."
Cao Yu looked at him rather strangely and said, "No, your Wang... Black Tortoise Sect's ways are far too... I won't interrupt your fun."
Without lingering any longer, the Shadow Clone soon carried Cao Yu off into the distance again.
Only after they had left the Black Tortoise Sect did the older man and the others descend from midair.
"Dad, what do they want the Black Tortoise Divine Pills for?"
Just then, a boy who looked about fourteen came over.
The older man said, "Sanshi, sometimes you shouldn't ask what you shouldn't ask. Otherwise, you'll be the one to suffer. Do you understand?"
"Also, if you run into that noble young master in the future, remember to build a good relationship with him. Do you hear me?"
"Oh, got it." Xu Sanshi nodded.
Following the system's prompts.
He finally found a restaurant that met the requirements.
It was already mealtime, and quite a few people were seated inside.
They drank fine wine and ate delicious food, their faces full of enjoyment.
Cao Yu tapped the table and called, "Boss! One roast chicken."
The owner replied from the kitchen, "Coming right up! Anything else, young master? Would you like some wine?"
"A bowl!"
Before long, a delicate fragrance drifted over.
A stunning beauty carried a tray over and set it on the table.
"Hello, here are the roast chicken and wine you ordered. Please enjoy."
Cao Yu watched her without blinking. Perhaps the girl noticed, because her face flushed slightly, and she shyly left.
So this is Jiang Nannan?
No wonder she's the number one beauty of the Shrek Outer Court! She really is gorgeous.
He thought silently to himself.
Then Cao Yu dug into the roast chicken, tearing off a large drumstick and pairing it with fine wine. He could hardly have enjoyed the meal more.
His appetite was greater today than ever before.
Cao Yu openly admired that stunning beauty, then took another bite of his food.
Truly, beauty good enough to feast on!
