Chu Feng: I'm Not Selling This Fish

"Enter!"

A majestic voice rang out from the campsite of the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor.

Led by disciples of the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor, the special envoy slowly entered the camp.

At the same time, an elder of the Bing Clan approached Chu Feng and his entourage's carriage and respectfully said, "Miss and son-in-law, an envoy from the Jiang Kingdom requests an audience. We hope you will go."

"Knew."

Bing Yan stepped down from the carriage, her gaze falling on Chu Feng. She extended her slender hand and said, "Husband, let's go."

"Um."

Chu Feng led her by the hand, and under the gaze of countless people, they arrived at a palace transformed from a top-grade magical artifact.

Upon entering, all the elders present stood up. "Greetings, Miss and Son-in-law."

No need for formalities.

Bing Yan spoke with an air of authority and walked towards the main seat with Chu Feng, while Great Sage Golden Wing followed quietly behind them.

The two sat in the main seats, and soon female disciples brought out food and wine and placed them on the table.

Neither Chu Feng nor Bing Yan showed any intention of touching their chopsticks; they simply sat quietly.

A moment later, a disciple hurried in, bowed, and said, "Miss, Master, envoys from the nine King and Marquis under the jurisdiction of my Extreme Cold Mountain Manor have arrived."

Bing Yan waved her hand dismissively. "Let them in."

"Promise."

After the disciple responded, he turned to the Outer Dao, "An envoy from the King and Marquis requests an audience!"

Before long, nine envoys from various King and Marquis, dressed in all sorts of attire, entered the main hall one after another, bowing and paying their respects.

We pay our respects to Miss!

No need for formalities.

"Great Sage."

"Please take a seat."

On their way there, the special envoys learned that the person in charge of the Sexagenary Battle the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor was Great Sage who had returned from the Dao-Seeking Academy.

They did not look down on her because she was a woman; on the contrary, they felt even more awe towards her.

As for the internal affairs of the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor, they dared not inquire about them.

After the special envoys arrived, the banquet began.

The gathering consisted mainly of conversations between the elders and the nine special envoys.

Chu Feng and Bing Yan sat there quietly, occasionally moving their chopsticks.

After the banquet ended and the special envoys left, Chu Feng finally spoke up and asked, "Ninth Uncle, now that the Sexagenary Battle is about to begin, shouldn't you also tell me about the details of this Sexagenary Battle?"

If anyone else had asked the question, all the elders of the Bing Clan present would have slapped them across the face.

The Sexagenary Battle is about to begin, and you're only now asking how to fight?

However, since it was Chu Feng who spoke, no one present felt there was anything wrong with it.

Uncle Jiu stood up and bowed slightly to Chu Feng: "Reporting to the young master, the Sexagenary Battle is divided into three days."

The first day was a contest between young people, and also a battle between some of the most promising young talents.

The next day was the war between the King and Marquis under the six major powers. These six major powers included not only my Extreme Cold Mountain Manor, but also One Heart Temple, Radiant Sword Sect, Clearing Snow Kingdom, Northern Desert Sect, Cloud Night Kingdom, Stargazing Pavilion.

The third day is the main event, featuring a free-for-all wagering battle between the six major forces. These forces have no limit on the number of people they can send and can take turns challenging other forces. Each battle involves wagering on their territories and treasures.

The biggest winner of the Sexagenary Battle will reap the greatest benefits.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "So, the Sexagenary Battle is also a battle for the redistribution of interests?"

Uncle Jiu said, "That's right. Originally, this battle should have been fought by two Great Sage from my Extreme Cold Mountain Manor, but one of Great Sage is in seclusion and cannot participate for the time being. That's why we asked the young master to take the lead."

"If there's something to take, it's fine to sell it."

Chu Feng said nonchalantly.

Ninth Uncle: "Young Master, you are truly virtuous."

Chu Feng continued, "Then I'll take my disciples out for a stroll tomorrow, and I'll naturally rejoin you on the third day."

Ninth Uncle: "Young Master, please make yourself at home."

At the same time, news that the person in charge of the Sexagenary Battle of the Extreme Cold Mountain Manor had changed from the manor lord to the eldest daughter of the Bing Clan also reached the ears of various forces.

The next day, the sun was high in the sky.

Chu Feng yawned and led his disciples slowly into the Ancient City of Loulan.

Unlike yesterday, when there were few pedestrians on the road, there were quite a few cultivators on the way to the Ancient City of Loulan today.

A moment later, the group arrived at the Ancient City of Loulan.

Upon entering the city, Chu Feng and his group saw many cultivators setting up stalls and hawking their wares on the streets.

"A hundred-year-old Tian Shan snow lotus, come and take a look."

"A snow leopard possessing the bloodline of an ancient divine beast—don't miss it!"

"..."

Listening to these shouts, Chu Feng suddenly felt as if he had returned to a time in his previous life when he went to the market.

He asked with a smile, "My disciples, shall we go and pick up some bargains?"

Xu Caichen asked, "Master, in such a small place, are there any bargains we can find?"

Chu Feng waved his feather fan and said, "You brat, you still don't believe in your Child of Destiny?"

Xu Caichen's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he murmured, "How could I have forgotten about that? Master, let's go together."

"Let's go, let's broaden our horizons."

Chu Feng said with a smile.

The group wandered around the stalls, but after a while, they didn't find anything interesting.

Just as everyone was about to leave the stall, Chu Feng's gaze was drawn to a koi fish.

It was Dragon-Tail Koi, but the stall owner was selling it as an ordinary koi.

He stepped forward with a slight smile and asked, "Fellow Daoist, how much is this fish?"

The stall owner, a middle-aged man wearing a straw hat, said with a smile, "This fellow Daoist clearly knows his stuff. This koi fish of mine is..."

"Stop, I only want to know the price."

Chu Feng interrupted his verbal incantation without even thinking.

"Ten thousand low-grade spirit stones."

The stall owner immediately noticed that Chu Feng was very interested in his koi fish that had fallen from the Western Sea, so he started with a ridiculously large sum of money.

"One thousand."

Without a second thought, Chu Feng cleaved the object in half.

"Make a deal."

The stall owner readily agreed.

Chu Feng casually took out some spirit stones from his storage ring and tossed them onto the stall owner's stall, then took the koi carp out of the owner's fish tank.

The koi fish was still struggling in Chu Feng's hand.

Seeing this, Chu Feng laughed and said, "Little girl, don't move, or I'll boil you in a pot in a bit."

Upon hearing this, the koi fish indeed stopped moving. Its eyes flickered slightly, and it gave Chu Feng a pleading look.

Seeing this, Chen Qianqian exclaimed excitedly, "Master, this koi fish has intelligence!"

Upon hearing this, the stall owner's face darkened instantly. A koi fish with sentience—wouldn't he be losing out big time by a thousand low-grade spirit stones?

He was trying to get the fish back when a pair of eyes stared intently at him. He looked towards the owner of those eyes and saw that the person was giving him a little finger.

Sensing the killing intent in the other person's eyes, he immediately abandoned the idea of speaking.

Just then, a loud voice came from not far away. "Amitabha, Heaven cherishes life. Since this koi has already gained sentience, why does the benefactor..."

Chu Feng didn't give him a chance to speak, nor did he even look at what the other person looked like. He simply said, "Monk, I'm not selling this fish."

Not far away, a young and handsome monk with a monastic scar on his head froze on the spot upon hearing these words.

It wasn't until Chu Feng and his group had walked away that he realized he didn't want to buy fish, but rather that they should be released back into the wild.

The young monk hurriedly caught up with Chu Feng and the others, about to speak, when Qin Qin, who was following behind Chu Feng, turned around and said in a murderous tone, "Monk, didn't you hear what my master said?"

hiss...

The young monk sensed the terrifying murderous aura and gasped, but for some reason, upon seeing the koi, he suddenly mustered his courage and said, forcing himself to speak, "Lady, please don't misunderstand. I simply cannot bear to see you eat this intelligent fish. I hope you will release it."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng smiled and said, "Little monk, why don't you say that she is destined for you, and that it is a marriage between you?"
