Chapter 217: Transaction, Jing Yuheng is a Wealthy Woman

The black goat, having eaten and drunk its fill, lay on the ground, boredly basking in the sun, looking quite content.

Chen Chuyang saw this and blinked.

This state is too relaxed, just a second ago it was still so furious, wanting to kill everyone, and now it's just given up, its attitude changed too fast, leaving Chen Chuyang somewhat unable to react.

"You lazy bum, you're really... good at acting, huh?"

It can be confirmed now; it had been acting all along, all that anger was just an act.

It was just to boost its courage, and also to trick Chen Chuyang.

So, I've been tricked?

"Hey hey, I'm not acting; I can't beat you, I can't resist, since you don't even want to kill me, what do I have to worry about?"

"Don't block my sunbathing."

"..."

Chen Chuyang was despised; this goat didn't know what it was about to undergo, so it could be arrogant to its heart's content.

Jing Yuheng got to see what it means to change faces faster than flipping a page; this change of face was just too fast.

It no longer recognizes people, still despising Chen Chuyang; only this goat would dare speak to its master like that.

In the fish pond, bubbles rose, and a small carp poked its head out.

"Master, is this your newly acquired pet?"

The small carp looked at the black goat with eyes full of hostility; it was the master's most beloved pet and also the master's capable assistant.

Is this black goat here to vie for favor?

"Pfft."

It sprayed water, shooting a jet at the black goat.

The black goat quickly dodged, then stared at the small carp.

"Baa."

"Pfft."

One fish and one goat were spitting at each other.

Yes, you didn't missee; they are indeed spraying at each other.

This scene is both laughable and speechless.

Chen Chuyang didn't care anymore, letting them make a fuss on their own.

Jing Yuheng was drawn to the small carp; its snow-white body now bore streaks of red light, that glow was faint yet enough to catch your eye—once you glanced, you couldn't look away.

The fight between the black goat and the small carp stopped; the goat walked up to the carp and jeered, "Hey, little carp, from now on call me big brother."

Small carp: "..."

It should be the big sis, okay? A newcomer actually dares to take her position—impossible.

Other things can be negotiated, but this one cannot.

"What are you looking at? You can't even talk—if you've got the ability, speak up!"

"I'm stronger than you, my cultivation is higher, I'm also more capable; from now on you'll be my little sister, and I'll protect you."

The black goat seemed to see the small carp's extraordinariness, and first acknowledged it as a little sister.

Indeed, the small carp is female.

The fight flared up again.

For the position of boss, who among Chen Chuyang's pets is the big one—neither the goat nor the fish would yield.

Jing Yuheng didn't know what to say; is the black goat before her still a ferocious beast?

Why is it different from the ferocious beast she knows?

Rumor has it that this ferocious beast is brutal and violent, bloodthirsty and irascible; once it flies into a rage, it cannot be resisted.

The number of people who have died in this beast's jaws is at least counted in the thousands.

Back then, to seal it, a huge price was paid, nearly causing the Great Qi Dynasty to suffer great damage to its vitality.

This was still a lucky break; otherwise...

Take another look at the black goat before you—are you sure it's a ferocious beast?

"Is the record wrong, or is this person problematic?"

Chen Chuyang tamed the black goat—this is too absurd, and it happened right before our eyes.

Without using any other means, just strength plus sweet dates, together they tamed it?

This black goat is really lacking in dignity, isn't it?

What happened to the dignity of the ferocious beast we were promised?

Having dealt with the black goat, Chen Chuyang approached Jing Yuheng and said, "You know your situation."

Jing Yuheng nodded: "What do you want to do?"

"Relax, you don't need to be so wary of me."

"Hehe." She couldn't help but be wary; Jing Yuheng feared being tricked, this man's silver tongue was too strong, his ability to deceive too great, she was afraid of being fooled again.

"Actually, I can help you leave silently."

Jing Yuheng's heart stirred.

Outside, many people were watching her.

Especially those with ill intent, who wished she were dead.

They didn't want her to return alive; as for who the mastermind behind the scenes is, Jing Yuheng had some guesses.

She also worried; these days she had mostly recovered, and it was time to leave, but she lacked confidence.

"Go on."

Chen Chuyang rubbed his hands, grinning as he looked at Jing Yuheng.

Jing Yuheng understood at once, and said speechlessly: "Rest assured, as long as I can return safely, you won't lose your things."

Chen Chuyang is a talented person; the elixir in his hand caught Jing Yuheng's eye—she needed elixir.

She had plenty of materials, and could trade a batch of elixir with Chen Chuyang.

She had tried the elixir's effects; it worked well, and though there were some side effects, they weren't a problem.

Even within the Black Dragon Guard, the elixir's vital energy was scarce.

Not everyone can possess elixir, and good elixir is even rarer.

Jing Yuheng had taken a liking to the elixir Chen Chuyang gave the Heishanyang to eat; her intuition told her that this elixir would be of great use to her, and if she could have a sufficient supply, she believed her strength would increase greatly, and at that time her subordinates could also be strengthened.

Then they could escape their current predicament, and…

Moreover, the princess herself could… accomplish even more.

"When the time comes, tell me what you need, and I'll try to send it to you."

The words of the trade weren't made clear; she was probing.

Chen Chuyang understood her meaning and laughed: "As long as your stuff satisfies me, we can also trade elixir."

"I need spiritual elixir, spirit stone, or any kind of materials."

"The precondition is that you make it back alive."

Jing Yuheng alive is more useful than dead.

If she can return alive, those people won't be able to cause trouble for him, and he and the Chen Clan will gain a period of development.

Using space to buy time.

The Chen Clan lacks nothing more than time.

With Jing Yuheng's strength, upon returning she will surely turn the world upside down.

"Here you go."

Jing Yuheng gritted her teeth, took out a lump of ore that emitted a golden glow.

"Spirit gold—I didn't expect you to have stashed such a fine thing."

Spirit gold, a primary material for forging weapons, this stuff is precious.

A piece like this isn't something Chen Chuyang could afford to buy.

Weapons forged from spirit gold will have their hardness increased by a grade.

Spirit gold belongs to the fifth grade, making it quite rare.

"If you want it, I can send you a batch."

"Same quality?"

"Yes."

"Do you have a lot?"

"Quite a bit."

Jing Yuheng's little temptation—even if it was just empty promises—Chen Chuyang bought into.

You can tell at a glance that this woman is a rich lady, loaded with treasures; if she makes it back, wouldn't she…

Songcatongzi—can't let her die.

This woman, I've got her covered.

"Good, come on."

Chen Chuyang pressed a few points on her body, masking her aura.

Just like an ordinary person.

"All right, now you're just like an ordinary person; even someone who knows you well wouldn't notice."

"You should know how to pull off a disguise, right?"

Jing Yuheng was astonished at her own change—her true qi and spirit aura had vanished completely, turning her into another person.

As long as she alters her appearance a bit and changes slightly, no one will be able to find her.

This trick isn't simple.

"This trick of yours?"

"Want to learn? Sure, but you'll have to pay tuition."

"……."
