God of Pets

Chapter 291 If this life isn't enough, we'll make up for it in the next.

The little horse that had been following Chen Guan and the others ran up to the woman and neighed softly at her twice, as if it were trying to say something, before glancing at Mei Qingta.

Mei Qingta was both surprised and delighted when she saw these women.

He had some doubts about everything his elders had said, after all, it was too incredible.

Lingzhi Castle, nestled deep in the clouds, is more magnificent and spectacular than any other ancient castle.

The fact that Zhixian could transform into human form was indeed quite incredible.

Although Mei Qingta knew that the elder wouldn't lie to him, he still couldn't help but wonder if the elder had exaggerated a bit.

But now that he had seen Zhixian Castle with his own eyes, the shock was even stronger. This made Mei Qingta realize that the elder had not only not exaggerated, but his words were too conservative and could not describe the shock of Zhixian Castle at all.

“Lord Zhixian, I am Mei Qingta, and Mei Yingshan is my grandfather Xuan. I have come here to fulfill the promise between my grandfather Xuan and you, Lord Zhixian.” Mei Qingta mistook this woman for the Lord Zhixian that my grandfather Xuan had mentioned.

The immortal Zhixian that Mei Yingshan saw was none other than the Ancestor Zhixian.

He only said that Zhixian was extremely beautiful. When Mei Qingta saw Ling'er's beauty, he naturally assumed that Ling'er was the Zhixian that Mei Yingshan had mentioned.

"Mei Yingshan?" Ling'er pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Mei Yingshan is the human cultivator who exchanged the Azure Stone Liquid for the Stone Spirit Mushroom with us, right?"

Ling'er appears as young as a girl, but her actual age is beyond human comprehension.

However, for Zhixian, her age can only be considered that of a teenage girl.

She had met Mei Yingshan and remembered the deal Mei Yingshan made with the Old Ancestor Zhixian.

The Kongqing Stone Liquid is considered a relatively precious item for the Zhixian people. It can slow down their petrification process. Therefore, when it was discovered that Mei Yingshan possessed Kongqing Stone Liquid, the Zhixian Ancestor had someone bring the dying Mei Yingshan into the Zhixian Ancient Castle.

He also exchanged some woody Ganoderma lucidum for Kongqing Stone Liquid.

“That’s right.” Mei Qingta was overjoyed; Zhixian really did remember his great-grandfather.

"Our Mei family has kept our promise to you, Lord Zhixian, and has been collecting Kongqing Stone Liquid generation after generation. After so many years, we have finally come here again to complete the transaction with you, Lord Zhixian." Mei Qingta said, taking out a box from the package she was carrying.

I carefully opened the box. It was very well cushioned inside, and in the middle was a crystal bottle about the size of a thumb.

Inside the bottle was more than half full of a clear, bluish-green liquid that emitted a fluorescent glow.

This tiny bit of Kongqing Stone Liquid, seemingly a very small amount, not even enough for a sip, is the culmination of generations of hard work by the Mei family.

Because this kind of thing is so rare, the Mei family has been collecting it drop by drop over the generations, and over the years, they have only managed to gather this little bit.

However, the Kongqing Stone Liquid that Mei Yingshan traded with the Zhixian Clan was less than one-tenth of what was here, yet he received so many rare and precious Lingzhi mushrooms in return.

With so much ethereal liquid, it should be worth at least ten times what it was before.

Moreover, the Zhixian tribe does not have the human concept of good and evil. Those who are good to them and beneficial to them are their friends. This is the original saying passed down by Mei Yingshan.

Mei Qingta brought so much Kongqing Stone Liquid this time, so even if we asked them to help kill Chen Guan, it shouldn't be too difficult.

His thinking was correct, and Mei Yingshan's words were also correct. Unfortunately, he didn't know that for the Zhixian clan, Chen Guan's benefits far outweighed the Kongqing Stone Liquid in his hands. Mei Qingta directly presented the Kongqing Stone Liquid, which had been collected by the Mei family for generations, with both hands. Although the Zhixian clan did not have a human sense of good and evil, they were very trustworthy.

When Mei Yingshan was on his deathbed, the Zhixian Clan could have simply taken his Qing Shi Liquid, but they still chose to trade with him.

Therefore, Mei Qingta was not worried about this. He had brought so much Kongqing Stone Liquid, and the Zhixian Clan should not disappoint him.

Ling'er gestured for a fairy to come over and take the Kongqing Stone Liquid from Mei Qingta's hand. The fairy then handed the Kongqing Stone Liquid to Ling'er.

Ling'er held the bottle, examining it as she asked, "What do you want to exchange these Azure Stone Liquids for?"

"I want to exchange for a stone spirit mushroom that is over ten thousand years old. How much you can exchange for is up to you, Immortal Spirit Mushroom. I have only one request." Mei Qingta glanced at Chen Guan standing there and said, "Please, Immortal Spirit Mushroom, kill this human."

"You want me to kill him for you?" Ling'er looked at Chen Guan, then turned her gaze to Mei Qingta and asked.

“That’s right, this is one of the conditions for exchanging the Azure Stone Liquid. If you, Immortal Zhixian, can help me, I can take less of the Stone Spirit Mushroom,” Mei Qingta said.

"Fine, are you sure you want to exchange this for his life?" Ling'er asked Mei Qingta again, pinching the bottle between her middle and index fingers.

"I'm sure," Mei Qingta replied confidently.

Even if it meant losing some of the stone spirit mushrooms, Mei Qingta was unwilling to take the risk herself; Chen Guan was too strange a person.

"Alright, then so be it. I'll accept the Azure Stone Liquid." Ling'er said, putting the Azure Stone Liquid away.

Mei Qingta was excited: "It's finally coming to an end. Although there were some twists and turns, the result is good."

He's already planning to finish the deal with Zhixian as soon as possible. He should still have time to silence Zhu Hongzhi and Bai Yueguang; they shouldn't have gone far.

But Ling'er did not order Chen Guan to be killed as he expected. Instead, she reached out her hand as if asking him what she wanted.

"What does Lord Zhixian mean by this?" Mei Qingta's expression changed, sensing that something was amiss.

“To kill him, the Azure Stone Liquid you gave me earlier isn’t enough; we need to add something else,” Ling’er said.

Upon hearing this, Mei Qingta looked as if she had swallowed a fly, her face turning extremely ugly. She was caught between wanting to say the words and not wanting to say them.

He originally thought that having Zhixian kill Chen Guan was just a side job, but he didn't expect Ling'er to say that the Kongqing Stone Liquid was not enough to exchange for Chen Guan's life.

“Lord Zhixian, what a precious treasure Kongqing Stone Liquid is! Our Mei family has traveled through many secret realms and risked our lives for generations to collect so much Kongqing Stone Liquid. Isn’t it enough to exchange it for a human life?” Mei Qingta felt a strong sense of foreboding.

“Of course not. This person is extraordinary. If you want his life, you will need to pay a much higher price,” Ling’er said calmly.

“I’m out of empty bluestone liquid,” Mei Qingta said.

“Something else can be used as a substitute.” Ling’er looked at Mei Qingta and said with a smile, “For example, your life, but even if you add your life, it still won’t be enough to exchange for his life.”

"Alright then, I'll accept these Azure Stone Liquids and your life for now. In your next life, collect more Azure Stone Liquids and bring them back; perhaps that will be enough to exchange for his life. Then I'll definitely help you kill him."

Mei Qingta's pupils contracted, her nerves nearly breaking down. She stared intently at Ling'er, never imagining that such a beautiful woman could utter such wicked and shameless words.
