Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: The Pinnacle of the Demon Realm (12)
Half an hour later, a young boy came over to Xiao Zhu and told him to return, no longer needing to go outside the valley.

“Why?”

The boy shook his head: “I don’t know either, but after that lady met with the Valley Master, he sent me to call you back.”

Xiao Zhu returned with the boy to the Valley Master and saw him sitting worriedly beside a pile of Spirit Stones; Xiao Zhu immediately understood.

“Valley Master?”

The Valley Master waved his hand: “I don’t want to see the outsiders from the valley; drive them away.”

“Yes.”

Xiao Zhu was about to leave when the Valley Master suddenly stopped him.

“Drive those two out as well!” The Valley Master’s eyes were full of anger: “Remember, make sure they touch the barrier. It would be even better if the people outside learn that it was she who wouldn’t let me heal.”

“…” Xiao Zhu’s mouth twitched, what had that lady said to offend the Valley Master to this extent?

–

Xiao Zhu was somewhat afraid of Chuzheng; this girl always seemed cold and lifeless.

As for the other one, he always looked gloomy and Xiao Zhu had barely spoken to him.

He relayed the Valley Master’s words, albeit more tactfully, saying it was time for the healed patients to leave the valley now that they were well.

Chuzheng wasn’t very keen on leaving, as departure meant that she would have to face the fear of squandering resources again.

However, since it wasn’t her place and the owner had spoken, Chuzheng couldn’t do something as shameless as stubbornly refusing to leave.

Mainly because the Spirit Stones from her last two bouts of spending were nearly depleted.

She was a bit…poor now.

But she was poor yet happy, right?

Couldn’t life let her continue to be happy?

Couldn’t life cut her, Little Cutie, some slack?!

“Young master, please wait. The Valley Master has something else to say to you.” Another young boy hurried over and stopped Li Tang.

Li Tang was puzzled, the moody Valley Master had only interacted with him once before when he mentioned that Chuzheng wanted to bury him in a pit.

The Valley Master was waiting for him in the medicinal field out back.

Li Tang walked along the field ridge: “Valley Master, you had something to say to me?”

The Valley Master, examining the herbs in his hand, asked: “What is your name?”

Li Tang hesitated, unsure why the Valley Master would ask that question all of a sudden, before replying: “…Li Tang.”

“Who named you?”

“My mother.”

“Would you like to know where your father is?” The Valley Master pulled out a herb and set it aside.

Li Tang was completely stunned; his head was filled with the words his mother said before she died.

— Your father loves you very much.

— Don’t blame your father; he did it for you.

It took a long while for Li Tang to find his voice again: “You know my father…?”

The Valley Master stood up, dusting off his hands: “Your father is in Ziyun Sect.”

The Valley Master watched as Li Tang walked away, looking forlorn, and he sighed softly.

The Demon Clan… sooner or later, they would emerge.

Hmph!

Let it all fall into chaos; that would be interesting!

–

Outside Baiying Valley.

“Senior Brother, how is Senior Sister Fong Lan doing?”

Lin Chen was holding a woman, her face pale and her breath as thin as a thread: “Senior Brother, let’s go back. Perhaps Master will have a way…”

“Yes, Senior Brother, we were able to break in last time because Baiying Valley hadn’t activated its barrier, but now we definitely can’t get in. We should go back to the Sect; the Sect will surely have a way.”

“Junior Sister…” Lin Chen anxiously looked at the person in his arms: “Don’t worry, I will definitely save you.”

“Someone is coming out!”

Xiao Zhu escorted Chuzheng and Li Tang to the valley’s exit, clasping his fists and bowing, “Please go slowly, the two of you.”

As Lin Chen looked over following everyone’s gaze, he immediately spotted the woman walking in the front.

Clad in a pale blue dress, her gorgeous attire made her strikingly radiant, yet an aura of icy detachment surrounded her, compelling people to admire from a distance but not to desecrate.

That person…

Lin Chen frowned; although there were differences from before, he felt he couldn’t be mistaken about that face—it was the girl he had encountered in the Underground Demon City.

She had clearly saved him at the time, but when he came to again, he found himself bound to a pillar by a member of the Demon Clan.

That demon said she had handed him over.

“You let us in; why can they enter? Didn’t you say the quota was full? How can they get in? We want to see the Valley Master.”

While Lin Chen was still in a daze, someone had already gone up to stop Xiao Zhu.

Xiao Zhu remembered the Valley Master’s order clearly, “The Valley Master doesn’t refuse to see you, it’s just…”

Chuzheng walked in front, with Li Tang following behind with his head lowered.

“Stop!”

A loud rebuke came from behind, followed by a fierce attack. Li Tang, distracted and only just recovered, couldn’t dodge in time.

Li Tang’s body lurched forward, bumping into Chuzheng’s embrace; he snapped back to his senses slightly.

The attack hit the tree behind them, causing leaves to rustle down to the ground en masse.

Two leaves spiraled down in front of Li Tang as Chuzheng pulled him behind her, “Is there a problem?”

The person who attacked shouted angrily, “Why did you persuade the Valley Master not to save my Senior Sister Fong Lan? What grudge do you have against her?!”

Chuzheng glanced towards the valley, and Xiao Zhu quickly waved his hands; he was just following the Valley Master’s instructions, it wasn’t his fault.

Chuzheng denied, expressionless, “I did not.”

“You still won’t admit it! How could you be so malicious? If anything happens to my Senior Sister, I won’t let you off!”

Chuzheng’s eyes were cold, “Baiying Valley’s rules are well known. What power do I have to change the Valley Master’s mind? You think so highly of me; I should thank you.”

You want to let yourselves in and find a way to take my body for Song Fenglan’s lifeforce extension?

I’m not stupid!

Of course, I won’t let you in! I just won’t let you in!

The person paused, seeming to find Chuzheng’s words reasonable.

Then, feeling something was wrong, he abruptly pointed towards Xiao Zhu, “He said it, he personally… Where is he? How come he’s gone?”

At the entrance to the valley, there was no sign of Xiao Zhu.

“Blame your own stupidity for being swindled.”

“…”

Chuzheng caught a falling leaf from the air and threw it casually, the leaf suddenly stretched taut, shooting toward the man at high speed.

The man sensed the danger and instinctively went on the defense.

However, the leaf, as if carrying the weight of a thousand catties, broke through his defense, embedding into his shoulders from left and right, as blood seeped out.

“Ah—” The man screamed belatedly.

“Senior Brother!”

“Senior Brother, are you alright?!”

The crowd surged forward.

Someone roared at Chuzheng, “How dare you attack and injure someone!”

Chuzheng calmly stated her reason for inflicting injury, “It’s courtesy to return the favor.”

If she hadn’t pulled away quickly, it would be this weakling who got hurt.

Standing behind Chuzheng, Li Tang’s expression wasn’t as gloomy as usual, showing a hint of confusion, as if he didn’t know where he was.

“We didn’t hit you just now! You have no right to hit back and injure someone!”

Chuzheng: “…”

So if you don’t hit, it doesn’t count as an attack? If someone dodges and avoids injury, the attacker is not at fault? If I don’t hit you, can you blame me?

What kind of fool is this taught by?!

Impressive, really impressive!

Not dealing with you would indeed be a pity!
