"You just wait, you'll get what's coming to you when you get to Tianhuang City!"

He arrogantly and fiercely uttered a harsh remark, but was actually quite cowardly.

He led his cavalry, turned their horses around in a sorry state, and fled in a huge cloud of dust.

After cleaning up the mess, the convoy continued on its way, and it wasn't until dusk that they saw the towering black walls of Tianhuang City.

Huyan Lie led the group to the most bustling street in the city with ease.

It stopped in front of a vast and luxuriously decorated six-story inn.

Jiang Yining stepped off the bone-carved carriage, carrying the five treasures.

Fan Chenxin followed closely behind, carrying a heavy package full of beast cores.

His tall and imposing body blocked all the prying eyes from the surrounding area.

"Madam Jiang, Yunhe Inn is the best place to stay in Tianhuang City. I have already paid the fee in advance."

"You and the child can just move into the top-floor suite and get some rest."

Hu Yanlie stood in front of the counter, took out a large bag of top-grade blood crystals, and handed it to the shopkeeper.

Jiang Yining nodded slightly in response.

She reached out to take the pure copper room plaque handed to her by the shopkeeper, only to find that Wu Bao, who had been holding beside her, was nowhere to be seen.

The little girl was attracted by an extremely pure fragrance of blood and qi at some point.

With his short legs, he slipped into the quiet courtyard behind the inn, a place where no one else was allowed to enter.

In the center of the courtyard, a sacred land was enclosed by precious white jade stones.

A strange species of Nine Nether Orchid with petals displaying an eerie purplish-black color grows in the soil.

The Nine Nether Orchid is an extremely rare and precious natural treasure in the Martial Spirit Realm.

The vital energy emanating from the flowers and leaves was so concentrated that it almost condensed into tangible dew.

Wu Bao sniffed, its heterochromatic eyes gleaming with a greedy light.

Without any hesitation, she climbed over the white jade railing and stomped heavily on the delicate flower petals.

With a slight cracking sound, the priceless Nine Ghost Orchid was trampled into the mud by her.

The remaining flower juice stained her soft-soled shoes embroidered with gold thread.

"Where did this wild child come from, daring to ruin my hard work!"

A deafening roar came from the storage room in the corner of the courtyard.

A man dressed in coarse linen clothes, with his trousers rolled up high and covered in fresh mud, strode out.

The man was also holding a small hoe used for loosening the soil.

His hair was haphazardly tied into a ponytail at the back of his head, making him look exactly like a rough old farmer working in the fields.

He was none other than Lou Xiaotian, the young master of the Lou family, the head of the four major families in Tianhuang City, and the true owner behind the Yunhe Inn.

Lou Xiaotian was furious when he saw that the Nine Nether Orchid, which he had carefully cared for for three years, had turned into a pile of mud.

The terrifying pressure of the peak Qi and Blood Realm erupted from his body without reservation.

The violent shockwave overturned the stone table and benches in the courtyard.

A palpable killing intent locked onto the little girl who was unaware of the enormous disaster she had committed.

Wu Bao was pushed to the ground by this powerful force, pouting as if about to cry.

A white figure appeared in front of her like lightning.

Jiang Yining tightly protected the five treasures behind her back.

On the way, the purple-gold blood energy condensed using the Ancient Savage Spirit Technique met Lou Xiaotian's oppressive aura without reservation.

Two powerful forces, both at the peak of the Qi and Blood Realm, collided violently in mid-air.

It emitted a dull bang, shattering the surrounding precious flowers and plants into dust.

"Try touching one of her fingers."

Jiang Yining's cold and aloof purple-gold eyes pierced straight at the man opposite her.

His fingertips were already gripping a poisoned needle used for self-defense.

Lou Xiaotian's anger faltered upon hearing that clear and pleasant voice.

He looked up at the woman blocking the little girl's path, and stood frozen in place as if he had been immobilized.

It was a face so beautiful that there wasn't a single flaw.

Her beauty was pure and refined, yet possessed an air of inviolability; the red mole between her brows further enhanced her stunning allure.

Lou Xiaotian has been obsessed with cultivating rare flowers and herbs and practicing seclusion for many years.

He couldn't even be bothered to glance at the ordinary, vulgar women in Tianhuang City.

At that moment, my heart was pounding wildly and erratically in my chest.

The murderous aura that had emanated from him dissipated completely without him even realizing it.

He dropped the hoe and frantically brushed the dust off his clothes with his muddy hands.

Instead, it left even more mud stains on the coarse linen clothes.

"I...I didn't mean to do it. I was just worried about the flowers. Is the child alright?"

Lou Xiaotian stammered as he spoke.

Two suspicious blushes appeared on her cheeks, completely erasing her previous fierce and menacing appearance.

He took two steps forward to check on the little girl who had fallen.

However, Fan Chenxin, who had followed up, blocked him with a forceful attitude.

Fan Chenxin shielded Jiang Yining and Wu Bao tightly behind his broad back.

His eyes, filled with hostility, stared at Lou Xiaotian.

If the other party dares to take even half a step forward, he will definitely snap that peasant's neck.

Jiang Yining walked out from behind Fan Chenxin.

He patted the dirt off Wu Bao's clothes and looked calmly at the man whose appearance had changed drastically.

She noticed the innocence and panic in the other person's eyes.

Knowing full well that in the chaotic Tianhuang City, making friends with a powerful and gullible person would definitely be more beneficial than harmful.

"My child is young and doesn't know any better; he ruined your beloved possession."

"The responsibility for this matter lies with me. I am willing to offer the core of a third-tier peak Black Armored Poisonous Python as compensation. I wonder what your opinion is?"

Jiang Yining spoke gently.

Yet, she possesses an undeniable orderliness and a perfect grasp of social skills.

Lou Xiaotian waved his hand repeatedly when he heard her take the initiative to speak to him.

He shook his head vigorously, as if afraid that the other party would actually pull out the beast core to draw a line.

He stole a glance at Jiang Yining's fair and slender neck.

He swallowed hard, trying to make his voice sound more powerful.

"It's just a pot of broken grass; it's nothing compared to the girl being frightened."

"My name is Lou Xiaotian, and this inn is owned by my family. You can stay as long as you like!"
