Chapter 316: Why Should I Hand Over what I Obtained With my Strength?

Translator: CatatoPatch Editor: Vermillion

Xiao Yue rushed forward and supported Xiao Meng’s body . His complexion immediately became gloomy .

With a resounding clank, he unsheathed the sword in his back . Sword light flickered as it floated above him . It behaved as though it was a meteor which ripped the sky apart as it pointed toward Elder Sun .

“Do you want to fight me?” All of the muscles on Elder Sun’s body bulged and convulsed . His true energy emerged from his body as Elder Sun raised his hand . He sent a terrifying pressure toward Xiao Yue and oppressed him .

“Elder Sun, restrain yourself . ”

Zhan Kong, who was taciturn all along, took a step forward as he stood in front of Xiao Yue . With a wave of his hand, he broke the pressure formed by Elder Sun’s true energy .

Xiao Yue’s complexion was cold as he sheathed his sword . He didn’t have any favorable impression of this Elder Sun .

Zhan Kong was after all one of the White Cloud Villa’s Commanders . Elder Sun didn’t want to offend him, which was why he retracted his true energy . He gave a cold snort in response since he couldn’t do anything else .

“What are all of you looking at? Quickly go and tell Bu Fang to hand over that object!” Elder Sun glared at those ministers who were standing around him . With a loud shout, he gave them quite a fright .

All of the minister’s bodies stiffened for a second before they came back to their senses . They rushed down the city wall toward Fang Fang’s Little Store .

“Stop right there! Which one of you have the guts to go down without my order?” Ji Chengxue angrily shouted at them .

“Your Majesty!” Elder Sun shouted at Ji Chengxue as he shot a death glare at him .

The ministers who were about to rush down hesitated for quite some time . When they saw that Ji Chengxue didn’t refute Elder Sun, they started to rush down the wall again .

The moment they descended from the city wall, they led a huge group of soldiers toward Bu Fang’s store .

Ji Chengxue was enraged at their actions, and his complexion paled . However, he couldn’t do anything about it .

When the Blood Guards saw that Ji Chengxue and the others were creating a ruckus at the top of the city walls, they stared at them with disdain written all over their faces . They laughed coldly at everyone who was standing on the wall .

Ji Chengxue saw that the Blood Guards were laughing at them and shot a cold glare toward them .

. . . . .

On one of the Imperial Capital alleyways, Fang Fang’s Little store .

Bu Fang, still lying on his chair, narrowed his eyes . He was basking lazily in the sun as he enjoyed the warm and cozy feeling of intoxication . Blacky laid before the store as it drifted off into a nice nap . As for the little girl, Ouyang Xiaoyi, she was sitting beside the Path-Understanding Tree . She was practicing earnestly . The sounds caused by Xiao Xiaolong practicing his culinary sounded out from the kitchen unceasingly .

Everything seemed quite peaceful and quiet .

All of a sudden, messy and flurried footsteps came from the alleyway outside the store .

Bu Fang, who was dozing off, instantly snapped awake . He opened his eyes and stared at the group of ministers rushing at him without a shred of expression on his face . When he continued to look at them, he saw that there were groups of soldiers beside them .

When they assembled in front of Bu Fang’s store, the ministers looked at him with a glint in their eyes . It was as though they were looking at some kind of precious treasure when they looked at Bu Fang .

When Bu Fang felt their gazes on him, his whole body trembled . His hair stood on end and he felt as though there was something strange going on .

What did this group of uncles come here for? Why were they looking at him with such a strange gaze?

“Owner Bu . . . “

This group of ministers knew the strength the store had . There wasn’t anyone in the Imperial Capital who didn’t know how terrifying this store was . They would obviously not provoke Bu Fang if they could help it .

“Em? If you want to have a meal, please come in,” Bu Fang indifferently said .

“Owner Bu, today . . . we aren’t here for a meal . We are here because we have a request to make,” one of the ministers forced a smile as he said .

Bu Fang blanked out for a moment . Were these people here to ask for something? Could it be that they want me to lend them money? That’s out of the question . I’m too poor .

He stood up from his chair and placed his hands behind his back . He started to walk into his store without saying anything . Facing this kind of situation, it was better to just remain silent .

“Owner Bu . . . Don’t walk away . We only want to borrow something from you . ” When that minister saw that Bu Fang was going back into the store, a trace of anxiety appeared in his eyes .

” As expected . . . They are really here to borrow money from me . ” T he movements of his leg became quicker and swifter without him realizing it .

When they saw that Bu Fang was running away from them, the ministers almost spurted a mouthful of blood . We only came to borrow an object from you . . . Why on earth are you running away? How are we supposed to carry out a proper conversation if you ran away?

“Owner Bu . . . Do you have an object related to the Shura Sect?” A minister who was unable to endure any longer quickly asked .

Bu Fang’s body, which was about to reach the kitchen, suddenly stopped moving .

“Did all of you came here to borrow an object related to the Shura Sect?” Bu Fang narrowed his eyes as he summoned the five worn-out talismans . The array formed by them immediately appeared on his hand .

He turned around and waved the talisman array on his hand before asking, “Are you looking for this?”

Those ministers didn’t have high hopes when they heard the other minister’s question . They didn’t expect that Bu Fang would take out the thing they were looking for .

After they came back to their senses, they couldn’t help but curse Bu Fang in their minds . It seemed like this kid truly thought that they came here to borrow money from him .

“Indeed, indeed! Owner Bu, can you lend it to us?” The eyes of one of the ministers immediately brightened . It seemed like Owner Bu really had something which belonged to the Shura Sect .

Did the Shura Sect’s Blood Guard come to the Light Wind Empire for such a worn out object?

The corners of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched as he threw the array toward the ministers . The array slightly revolved in the air before his system’s dimensional storage retrieved it .

“I won’t lend it to you guys,” Bu Fang replied to them with no expression on his face .

Puf . . .

Those ministers almost wanted to cry . They thought that Owner Bu was going to lend them the item and they had already prepared themselves to catch the talismans . However, he took it back in mid-air . . .

“Why should I lend it to you?”

“This involves our Light Wind Empire survival . . . ” One of the ministers quickly replied .

This array formed by worn-out talismans could decide the fate of the Light Wind Empire? Was this worn-out object valuable?

Bu Fang took out the talismans once again as he started to study it . After looking at it for quite some time, he stored it back . He didn’t discover anything unusual about it .

. . .

Outside the city gate, the Blood Guards were about to explode from anger . The compass which they used to sense the Soul Congregation Array kept on fluctuating . It glowed for some time before becoming dim again . The process repeated itself quite a few times . What the hell was going on?

They really wanted to rush into the Imperial Capital to take back the Soul Congregation Array .

. . .

Those ministers were quite frustrated and they quickly told Bu Fang what happened on the city wall . They hoped that he could empathize with them and hand over the object in his hands .

“Why should I hand the talisman to them? Go back and tell the Blood Guards to come and take it if they have the abilities to do so,” Bu Fang calmly said .

After refusing their request, Bu Fang ordered the ministers to leave .

“Owner Bu . . . You just need to hand over this object to them and you can buy a day worth of time for the Light Wind Empire . This is extremely important for the survival of the Light Wind Empire . “

A minister who wasn’t satisfied with Bu Fang’s response said .

“Why should I hand something which I obtained with my strength?”

Bu Fang retorted before completely ignoring them . He returned to the kitchen and left the ministers alone at the front of the store .

Although the expression on the ministers’ faces changed, they eventually gave up . They didn’t have the power to force Bu Fang to do anything . Neither did they have the ability to cause trouble here . The fearsome reputation of the store was well-known in the capital .

“Your current actions will lead to the suffering of countless people in the Imperial Capital . ” Another minister was unresigned and he shouted toward the kitchen .

“Don’t try pressuring me by using the common people . Get lost!”

An apathetic shout resounded from the kitchen . The shout made all of them jump in fright and they immediately looked around . To their relief, they didn’t see the supreme beast . When they saw that the clothes-stripping crazy demon didn’t appear, they let out a long breath and started to leave .

They were at their wit’s end . They had no idea how to deal with someone like Bu Fang who had a temper as stiff and smelly as a latrine stone .

This group of ministers eventually returned to the city wall .

The atmosphere atop the city wall was heavy, just like before .

“How did it go? Did you guys bring the object?” Elder Sun asked in a cold voice .

“We . . . We didn’t . Owner Bu… He ordered us to leave,” quickly replied one of the ministers, who was terrified of Elder Sun .

The blood guards standing in front of the city wall had been impatient since a long time ago . The moment they heard the minister’s words, the bloody glow in their eyes deepened .

“You mean that Owner Bu actually possesses the object? Good . . . “

Looking at each other, the two Blood Guards saw the impatience and irritation in each other’s eyes .

They immediately roused their true energy as they planned to rush into the Imperial Capital .

However, the moment they roused their true energy, something happened .

A resounding cry came from the skies . A giant Intense Sun Bird descended from the skies as it extended its wings . A boiling hot breeze was stirred up in the surroundings the moment the bird appeared .

There was a slightly fat elderly man sitting cross-legged atop that Intense Sun Bird . That old man wore an amicable and warm expression on his face as he took a bite from the popsicle in his hand .

The Intense Sun Bird chirped as it landed above the city wall .

When they saw the figure on the bird, experts from the Hundred Thousand Mountains’ Clear Sky Pagoda immediately revealed a cheerful look . They simultaneously bowed towards the figure as they shouted out .

“We greet the Great Elder, Ye Yunqing!”
