Chapter 311: Bargaining

"Golden-haired Xiezhi, what's going on with you?"

Fairy Yunxiao frowned and said.

Moreover, before the Golden-haired Xiezhi could answer, Little Dragon Girl Lingling had already spread her little arms and legs to block in front of the Golden-haired Xiezhi.

"You're not allowed to bully Little Gold, Little Gold is mine!"

Little Dragon Girl Lingling said solemnly; looking at it, this little girl especially likes her new pet.

Hearing that, Fairy Yunxiao and the others exchanged glances, all looking helpless.

Little Gold, what a lousy name!

Moreover, this Golden-haired Xiezhi and the few behind him are not just pets; they are the Seven Attendant Immortals of their sect master, the Sect Master of the Way of Heaven.

Although they couldn't withstand even a few moves in Daoist Cihang's hands.

But any one of them, if thrown out, would be a figure capable of founding a sect and becoming an ancestor.

Right now, these few have actually become the pets of this little girl before them, yet Fairy Yunxiao and the others have never heard of it—when did their tempers become so good?

They were curious about what Daoist Cihang had done to these few to make them so docile.

"Lingling, don't be rude to the guests!"

Just then, a voice came.

Following the direction of the voice, one saw Daoist Cihang, with a clear and cold aura, walk in, and by her side was Ao Yifan with a gentle smile.

As for her demeanor, Ao Yifan greatly admires Daoist Cihang.

No matter how bold and fiery she is in private, in front of outsiders she always appears as a cool and aloof goddess.

This contrast is also what makes Ao Yifan unable to let go.

"Master!"

"Mother!"

Muzha bowed to Daoist Cihang, while Little Dragon Girl Lingling ran up on her short legs to Daoist Cihang and began to complain.

"Mother, they're all bad people who want to snatch my Little Gold!"

Little Dragon Girl Lingling pointed at Fairy Yunxiao and the others with a childish voice and said.

"Hey, you stinky girl!"

Fairy Qiongxiao couldn't take this, rolled up her sleeves and prepared to teach this tattling little girl a lesson.

But Fairy Bixiao next to her quickly pulled her back, because, among those present, aside from the eldest sister Fairy Yunxiao, they probably weren't a match for Daoist Cihang.

Daoist Cihang gave Fairy Qiongxiao a faint glance, then instructed Little Dragon Girl Lingling: "Lingling, haven't I told you? When outsiders are present, you must call me Master."

Hearing that, Little Dragon Girl Lingling was a bit confused—clearly she is her mother, why should she call her Master?

However, Little Dragon Girl Lingling obediently nodded and said, "Oh, Mother, no, Master, Lingling understands, but I don't want them to snatch my Little Gold."

Hearing that, Daoist Cihang nodded, then turned to Fairy Yunxiao and said, "I know why you've come today, but you, the Seven Attendant Immortals of the Sect of the Cut allied with the Western Teaching, killed my senior brother Guangchengzi; you must give an explanation, otherwise I will not readily hand over the person."

Hearing that, Fairy Qiongxiao pursed her lips and said, "Hey, Cihang, everyone here is our own; you can fool outsiders, but fooling our own—do you think that's appropriate?"

Hearing Fairy Qiongxiao's words, Daoist Cihang frowned and looked toward the Holy Mother Wudang among them.

Noticing Daoist Cihang's gaze, Fairy Qiongxiao grinned and said, "Our own people, all our own."

Hearing that, Daoist Cihang glanced at Ao Yifan beside her, who was sizing up the Holy Mother Wudang.

In an instant, Ao Yifan realized the other party had misunderstood something, and quickly waved his hands, saying, "Don't look at me like that—I didn't do anything."

After saying that, Ao Yifan turned his head to Fairy Qiongxiao and said, "Qiongxiao, didn't I tell you not to spread my affairs? I'm busy now."

"Tch, cut it out—every time you act all resistant, but when have you ever really refused?"

Fairy Qiongxiao had pretty much seen through this guy, gave Ao Yifan a white-eye and said.

"Slander, she's slandering me!"

Ao Yifan said excitedly.

At that moment, the Holy Mother Wudang furtively poked Fairy Qiongxiao's arm.

Having received the Holy Mother Wudang's signal, Fairy Qiongxiao said, "One thing at a time—let's set aside the matter of these Golden-haired Immortal fellows for now; as usual, the split is six for me, four for you."

"No way, fifty-fifty!"

Ao Yifan shook his head.

"What?"

Hearing Ao Yifan raise the price, Fairy Qiongxiao jumped up in shock.

"We've always been on a six-four split, you suddenly raising the price isn't appropriate—after all, I contribute people and effort, you just need to lie back and collect money, yet you want an even split; doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Fairy Qiongxiao said.

"My conscience certainly won't hurt—after all, Golden Spirit and Fire Spirit over there are also on a fifty-fifty split, and their request is merely that I compensate them once for free."

Ao Yifan said solemnly.

"Well, Golden Spirit and Fire Spirit, they actually dare to steal my business—that's really over the top!"

Fairy Qiongxiao said dissatisfiedly.

At this moment, she really wanted to go back right away and have a good talk with the Holy Mother Golden Spirit and the Holy Mother Fire Spirit.

There's nothing to be done—this behavior of stealing people's business is really too underhanded.

"Fine, fifty-fifty it is—but I also want you to compensate me once for free, no, twice!"

Fairy Qiongxiao said, "After all, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to earn this money."

"This, that'll do!"

Ao Yifan thought it over and finally nodded.

While Ao Yifan and Fairy Qiongxiao were haggling, Muzha beside them really wanted to escape.

Muzha truly wished he were still as innocent as a child, thinking back then that his father merely wanted to find him a master, which is why he sent him to Daoist Cihang's school.

But, Mu Zha is really no longer a child now.

Sometimes, Mu Zha really wishes he couldn't understand what these adults are saying.

"Dad, I see now, you are this kind of dad!"

Mu Zha wanted to cry but had no tears; he decided that he would never touch a female immortal for the rest of his life.

After all, only by being a pure and self-disciplined male immortal would one not have so many worries like his father.

"Fellow Daoist Cihang, can we borrow your cave abode for a moment?"

After agreeing on the price, Qiongxiao Fairy looked at the Cihang Daoist and said.

Hearing that, the Cihang Daoist thought for a moment and said, "Fine, but you have to pay."

"You..."

Qiongxiao Fairy, feeling choked with anger, finally took out a magic treasure resembling a pellet drum and threw it at the Cihang Daoist.

"This is suitable for that little girl to master the use of a magic treasure; I give it to you."

Qiongxiao Fairy said.

Catching the pellet drum thrown through the air, the Cihang Daoist nodded and said, "All right, my cave abode is yours to use as you wish."

Next, Ao Yifan entered the cave abode together with the Wudang Holy Mother, while Xiao Bai Suzhen stared at everything with a pair of big, adorable eyes.

She seemed to have understood something, yet also seemed to understand nothing.
