Chapter 4: You’re Asking for Too Much, You Refuse to Listen When I Try to Reason With You
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Li Batian stared at Jiang Ping coldly.
He didn’t think Jiang Ping would dare to object.
“Patriarch Jiang, if you want to get over this matter, one spirit nurturing pill is not enough.”
“You must add something else!”
“Otherwise, hmph!”
His tone seemed unquestionable.
Although he did not finish his sentence, the meaning behind it was self-evident.
Chen Zhong’s heart sank when he heard this.
‘This person is taking things too far. The spirit nurturing pill is so precious, yet he felt that it wasn’t enough. He is clearly trying to take advantage of our Jiang family! Sigh, we do not have the strength to protect ourselves. It looks like our Jiang family is going to spend a lot of money today,’ Chen Zhong thought to himself.
Jiang Ping couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.
He didn’t expect that Li Batian’s appetite would be so big.
He lowered his head and looked at Wan’er, who was holding his hand tightly.
Then, he let out a sigh.
He turned his head and said to Li Batian.
“Brother Li, we can discuss anything, but let’s go somewhere else.”
Li Batian was immediately delighted.
Sure enough, Jiang Ping didn’t dare to object at all.
But he still concealed it very well and didn’t reveal even a trace of his excitement.
He just nodded indifferently.
At the same time, his gaze paused on Jiang Wan’er.
Then, he said, “Follow me.”
Following that, he took the lead and walked out of the pavilion.
Jiang Ping turned his head and looked at Chen Zhong.
“Uncle Zhong, wait here with Wan’er.”
“Patriarch, why don’t we forget about it?”
Chen Zhong was clearly uneasy. He had a worried expression on his face.
However, Jiang Ping waved his hand gently and patted Wan’er’s head as he said softly.
“Wan’er, be good and wait for me here. I will be back soon.”
Wan’er didn’t know what her father wanted to do.
But it was really comfortable to be patted by her father in this manner.
Thus, Wan’er subconsciously nodded.
Jiang Ping smiled when he saw this and comforted Chen Zhong.
“Uncle Zhong, you can rest assured. Everything will be fine.”
After saying that, he let go of Wan’er’s small hand and followed Li Batian.
Chen Zhong felt uneasy.
He still nodded perfunctorily, but his face was filled with worry as his gaze fell on Jiang Ping’s departing figure.
...
Li Batian brought Jiang Ping to a remote and quiet house, which was surrounded by bamboos. There were almost no servants or maids passing by.
Looking at such an environment, Jiang Ping couldn’t help but feel happy.
‘Great, no one will know then,’ Jiang Ping thought.
Jiang Ping followed Li Batian into the house and closed the door behind him.
Li Batian turned around and sat down. He was about to ask Jiang Ping to sit down.
But when he looked up, he found that Jiang Ping had already sat down.
And he seemed like a different person.
But he couldn’t tell exactly what was different.
At this moment, Jiang Ping looked at Li Batian nonchalantly.
He said indifferently, “Say it. If the spirit nurturing pills aren’t enough, what else do you want?”
Li Batian was instantly stunned.
Jiang Ping’s current attitude was completely different from when he was outside.
He no longer appeared weak. Instead, he now had a dashing and casual attitude.
But Li Batian soon composed himself.
He shook his head gently and threw out all these doubts.
Then he said flatly, “Patriarch Jiang, I’m not asking for too much.”
“You know my son is talented and precious.”
“Not only is he the treasure of our Li family, but he’s also a child that everyone is envious of even in Xiaoyu Town.”
“Now...”
As he listened to Li Batian’s nagging, Jiang Ping could not help but snort.
Although he rarely interacted with outsiders, he was not ignorant.
The Li family’s youngest son, Li Xiaojiang, was a child that everyone despised in Xiaoyu Town!
Li Batian was really shameless, lying through his teeth.
Wan’er was still waiting for him, so he did not want to waste time with Li Batian. So, he simply waved his hand and interrupted him.
“Just say it. What else do you want?”
Li Batian was a little unhappy to be interrupted.
He said coldly, “Since you’re so quick-witted, I’ll say it directly.”
Li Batian paused and the corner of his mouth curled up.
“I want a spirit transcendence pill!”
Hearing this, Jiang Ping’s gaze immediately narrowed.
How dare he ask for a spirit transcendence pill!
This spirit transcendence pill was even more precious than the spirit nurturing pill.
It was a pill that helped Qi refinement cultivators break through to the core building realm.
Not to mention in Xiaoyu Town, even in Fusheng City, it was a treasure that people would fight over!
He was obviously being greedy after he saw how quickly Jiang Ping agreed to his first request.
Jiang Ping was silent for a moment, then his gaze suddenly turned sharp.
“Brother Li, you really dare to ask for that? What if I don’t give it to you?”
Looking at Jiang Ping’s expression, Li Batian didn’t care at all.
People would get angry when they were cornered.
However, he didn’t care at all about the anger of the weak.
A dangerous light flashed in his eyes, and his voice was aloof and indifferent.
“You try that!”
As soon as he said that, Li Batian’s aura suddenly changed.
A vast and majestic aura instantly poured out and pounced towards Jiang Ping.
The furniture and decorations around Li Batian shook under the terrifying aura.
Even the porcelain bottle on Jiang Ping’s right hand was on the verge of tipping over.
This was the strength of the third level of the refinement realm that Li Batian was so proud of!
He believed that such strength was enough to make the Jiang Ping bend the knee.
Now that things had come to this, he had torn off his last facade.
No longer holding back, he threatened, “You’re not giving it to me? Then don’t even think about walking out of this door today!”
He snorted coldly and continued.
“And your daughter outside has to pay the price too.”
Jiang Ping’s eyes instantly widened, and icy rage flashed in his eyes.
His daughter was the most invaluable treasure to him.
Now, Li Batian actually dared to use Wan’er to threaten him. This completely infuriated him.
His voice was like permafrost, making Li Batian’s hair stand on end.
“You don’t want to accept a proper apology, and you even want to be greedy and ask for more?”
“How dare you use my precious daughter to threaten me. You really don’t know what’s good for you.”
In an instant, an extremely powerful aura surged out from Jiang Ping’s body like a surging waterfall.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The sounds of shattering rang out one after another.
Porcelain bottles, wooden tables, chairs, and jade adornments were shattered one after another.
Li Batian was completely stunned. He stared blankly at the scene before him, but couldn’t say anything.
In front of this fierce and surging aura, he was like a raft on the ocean.
If he was not careful, he would be drowned by the monstrous waves and die.
“No, this is impossible!” Li Batian screamed.
