“What did you say?”
Hua Jieyu flew into a rage. The gentle demeanour she had shown moments ago vanished instantly, replaced by the fury of a tigress.
“Hua Jieyu, if you truly want a spot in the Boxing King Tournament, put away your seduction techniques. Otherwise, do not blame me for being impolite.”
Li Feng said coldly.
If not for the fact that Hua Jieyu had used her seduction art, causing the Nine Heavens Heart Scripture in his body to circulate automatically, he would have fallen for her trick. However, this was the first time he realised the Nine Heavens Heart Scripture could counter seduction techniques. It seemed the scripture he cultivated was far more mysterious than he had imagined.
“You…”
Hua Jieyu’s expression changed. She had not expected her seduction art to have absolutely no effect on Li Feng. This dealt her a heavy blow.
Seduction art was not only her pride but also the foundation of her confidence. If it had no effect on Li Feng, would she not lose her unique advantage in front of him from now on?
“Hua Jieyu, this is your last warning. If there is a next time, I will truly take you, break your seduction art, and make you my slave.”
Li Feng said coldly.
“You…”
Hua Jieyu glared at Li Feng with icy eyes and said, “Young Master Feng, do you have the ability to do that?”
“Hahaha, Hua Jieyu, you had better not ask a man if he has the ability. Whether I have it or not, you can try for yourself and find out.”
Seeing Hua Jieyu’s face turn livid, on the verge of exploding, Li Feng sneered. “Right now, with so many acquired ninth-layer, half-step innate, and innate experts in Golden Buddha Temple, I am not afraid. Do you think I have no way to deal with you?”
Hua Jieyu’s expression changed.
“Hua Jieyu, although you are a woman, you had better not test my patience. Let alone you alone right now, even if you brought the four heavenly kings from the rogue cultivators here, I would still have confidence in killing all of you. Do you believe me?”
Li Feng said in a deep voice.
“Arrogant.”
Hua Jieyu snorted coldly. But inwardly, she became wary. When Li Feng spoke like this, he was either boasting or truly had the strength. Hua Jieyu felt the second possibility was more likely, because Li Feng was the person she found most difficult to see through.
“Arrogant?”
Li Feng sneered, staring intently at Hua Jieyu. “People say the Flower Demon Hua Jieyu has weapons all over her body. If there is a chance, I really want to try them out. But today, I only want to make a deal. If you do not want to trade, then get lost.”
Hua Jieyu took a deep breath. Li Feng’s arrogant tone made her furious, but she knew now was not the time to leave. If she left now, she would truly miss out on a spot in the Boxing King Tournament. To enter Dark Prison Island again, she would have to wait another hundred years. She did not have a hundred years to wait.
“Fine. Let us trade. What do you want for one spot?”
Hua Jieyu said in a deep voice.
“Hahaha, Hua Jieyu, it is not about what I want. It is about what you can offer. As long as I am satisfied, I will give you the spot. If I am not satisfied, even if you offer a divine pill, you will not get one.”
Li Feng smiled as he spoke.
“You…”
Hua Jieyu’s expression changed. She said in a deep voice, “This is not fair.”
“Not fair? Hua Jieyu, oh Hua Jieyu, are you some commoner? In the world of martial cultivators, the strong reign supreme. There is no such thing as fair or unfair.”
Li Feng sneered.
Martial cultivators?!
Hua Jieyu noticed the two words Li Feng used. Nowadays, almost everyone called them ancient martial artists. Only those from ancient forces and sects used the term “martial cultivators.” Could this Young Master Feng come from one of those ancient forces or sects?
Yes, that must be it. Otherwise, he would not say the word “martial cultivators” so naturally.
At this thought, a trace of seriousness flashed in Hua Jieyu’s eyes.
If Li Feng truly came from those ancient forces or sects, then he was even more extraordinary. She absolutely could not make an enemy of him.
“Hua Jieyu, I will give you only three chances. If the items you offer in these three chances do not satisfy me, then our deal ends here.”
Li Feng continued.
“What if you deliberately refuse to be satisfied?”
Hua Jieyu asked.
“Are you stupid? I do not have time to play games with you here. If I did not want to trade with you, I would have told you to get lost already.”
Li Feng said coldly.
“You…”
Anger flashed in Hua Jieyu’s eyes.
“Very angry? But that is the truth. Hua Jieyu, if you think what you offer cannot satisfy me, then bring out your most valuable item.”
Li Feng looked at Hua Jieyu and said seriously, “Of course, during this process, you can use your seduction art to confuse my mind. But that depends on whether you can afford the price.”
“Don’t worry. I will not use seduction art on you.”
Hua Jieyu said in a deep voice.
Now that she knew Li Feng might come from those ancient forces or sects, she no longer dared to use seduction art on him. People from those forces and sects always had ways to counter seduction techniques.
“Then bring out your first item. Remember, you only have three chances.”
Li Feng said in a deep voice.
Hua Jieyu took out a jade bottle from her spatial bag.
“What is this?”
Li Feng asked.
“Foundation Consolidating Pills.”
Hua Jieyu said in a deep voice.
“Foundation Consolidating Pills?”
Li Feng was stunned. He had not expected Hua Jieyu’s first item to be Foundation Consolidating Pills.
“That’s right. There are ten Foundation Consolidating Pills in this jade bottle. This should be enough for one spot, right?”
Hua Jieyu said in a deep voice.
Li Feng shook his head.
“What? You are still not satisfied? Do you not know the value of one Foundation Consolidating Pill? Each one is worth at least several hundred million.”
Hua Jieyu’s expression changed.
“It is not about value. I know the value of Foundation Consolidating Pills, but in my eyes, they are trash.”
Li Feng shook his head as he spoke.
“What do you mean?”
Hua Jieyu looked at Li Feng coldly. She felt Li Feng was deliberately making things difficult for her.
“Foundation Consolidating Pills are priceless, but they are useless to me. Hua Jieyu, do you think someone at my current realm still needs Foundation Consolidating Pills?”
Li Feng sneered.
Foundation Consolidating Pills were indeed valuable. Li Feng wanted them too. Even though he now had Foundation Consolidating Liquid, the pills were more effective. Even if he did not need them, he could give them to Hu Yuanyuan and the others.
But since the one offering them was Hua Jieyu, he rejected without hesitation. With Hua Jieyu’s skills, she surely had more good items on her. This was a perfect chance to take advantage of her. How could he let it go?
Hua Jieyu was stunned. After thinking it over, she felt Li Feng’s reasoning made sense. Li Feng was already at the innate realm. He truly did not need Foundation Consolidating Pills. Rejecting them was reasonable.
“Hua Jieyu, take your Foundation Consolidating Pills back. You now have only two chances left. If you cannot offer something that satisfies me, our deal ends here.”
Li Feng said in a deep voice.
Hua Jieyu put away the Foundation Consolidating Pills and took out a jade box.
“Young Master Feng, I think the item in here should satisfy you.”
Hua Jieyu said.
“Whether it satisfies me or not, I will only know after seeing it.”
With that, Li Feng reached out to take the jade box.
“Wait.”
Hua Jieyu suddenly stopped him.
“What? Do you think if I know what is inside, I will rob you?”
Li Feng frowned.
“Your words just reminded me. I cannot rule that out.”
Hua Jieyu said in a deep voice.
“Rule out your sister.”
Li Feng snorted impatiently. “If that is the case, our deal ends now.”
“You…”
Hua Jieyu glared at Li Feng in anger.
“Hua Jieyu, remember, you are the one trading with me, not the other way around. If you keep worrying about this and that, can this deal even continue? I do not want to play games with you here.”
At this point, Li Feng glanced at Hua Jieyu and continued, “Of course, if you really want to play with me, we can arrange a time another day and have some real fun.”
“See for yourself.”
Hua Jieyu automatically filtered out Li Feng’s last sentence and handed the jade box to him.
“This is…”
When Li Feng saw what was inside the jade box, his expression changed. He had never imagined the item in the box would be this.
“How about it? This should be enough to trade for a spot in the Boxing King Tournament, right?”
A trace of reluctance flashed in Hua Jieyu’s eyes. If not for her desire to enter Dark Prison Island, she would never have taken this item out.
Li Feng fell silent.
The item in the jade box tempted him greatly. He wanted it too. But…
After looking at the item in the jade box, Li Feng shook his head and said, “I do not need this. Take it back.”
With that, he closed the jade box.
“You do not want it…”
Hua Jieyu looked incredulous. In her impression, Li Feng should have been overjoyed to get this item. How could he refuse it?
What was going on?
Could Li Feng not know the value of this item?
Impossible. He was not an idiot, and he was an innate expert. How could he not know its value?
Yet he refused it anyway. Why?
“That’s right, Hua Jieyu. Keep this item for yourself. I do not need it.”
A trace of reluctance flashed in Li Feng’s eyes, but he still handed the jade box back to Hua Jieyu without hesitation.
“You…”
Hua Jieyu looked at Li Feng, so angry she did not know what to say.
“Now you have only one chance left.”
Li Feng ignored the furious Hua Jieyu and said expressionlessly.
Hua Jieyu bit her lip, then took out another item from her spatial bag.
“This is…”
Li Feng looked at the long wooden box in Hua Jieyu’s hand, puzzled, and asked.
“You will know once you see it.”
Hua Jieyu placed the wooden box in Li Feng’s hands.
“So heavy.”
Li Feng’s expression changed. This one-metre-long wooden box actually weighed over two hundred jin. Curiosity rose in him. When he opened it, his face filled with shock.
“This… how is this possible…”
