Chapter 101: The Roadblock

Zhang Yi pointed at the little Earth Dragon and Xiao Pu to the side, saying indifferently, "I plan to take these two little ones with me. As for you, don't go joining in the fun."

The Pterosaur instantly wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.

The flame of hope that had just ignited in the Pterosaur was instantly extinguished by a basin of cold water from Zhang Yi.

He wore a mournful face, looking pitifully at Zhang Yi, just like a puppy abandoned by its owner.

"Brother Yi, good brother, can you really bear to let me sleep on the streets? At the very least, we've carried guns together, whored together... cough cough, we've been through so many storms together..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a flying dagger-like glare from Nudi landed on him.

The Pterosaur immediately closed his mouth tactfully and sheepishly rubbed his nose.

At this moment, Nudi walked up gracefully, arms crossed over her chest, her red lips parting slightly: "I don't agree."

Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow and asked with a half-smile: "What don't you agree with? You don't agree with me, Xiao Pu, and the little Earth Dragon living in the Lingfu? You don't happen to be thinking..."

"That's right."

Nudi interrupted him without any avoidance, "This idea was mine, so naturally, I must move in as well."

Her tone was overbearing and left no room for doubt.

Zhang Yi widened his eyes, pointing at Nudi in disbelief: "Forget it! You, a Nudi of the Yao Jie, actually want to fight two little runts for territory? Have you no shame?"

Nudi glanced at him with contempt and said indifferently: "I am not fighting them for it."

Zhang Yi was stunned, then laughed: "Doesn't that make it right? Those who know the times are heroes!"

However, before his smile could fully bloom, it froze on his face. He only heard Nudi add softly: "I am taking them with me to live there."

Zhang Yi: "..."

He felt he had been magnificently played by Nudi; his chest felt as if it were blocked by a giant boulder, unable to go up or down, feeling stifled and uncomfortable.

"You... this is robber logic!"

Zhang Yi pointed at Nudi, too angry to speak.

Nudi, however, did not care about his protest at all, merely raising an eyebrow and looking at him with a half-smile.

That look seemed to say: What can you do to me?

Zhang Yi took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

He knew that reasoning with this overbearing Nudi was no different than playing the lute to a cow.

In the end, he could only nod helplessly, which counted as tacitly accepting Nudi's unreasonable demand.

The Jubiao mother to the side watched the "clash" between these two and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She suggested: "Since that is the case, why don't we all go and see what the Lingfu of the Demon Saint Mansion is really like? Let this old woman broaden her horizons too."

Neither Zhang Yi nor Nudi objected.

Thus, the group marched imposingly toward the direction of the Lingfu.

Xiao Pu and the little Earth Dragon hopped and skipped ahead excitedly, full of anticipation for the "new home" they were about to move into.

The Pterosaur, like a tagalong, followed closely behind Zhang Yi step by step.

Zhang Yi felt uncomfortable being watched by him and said irritably: "Stop looking, there's no share for you in the Lingfu! If you want to live there, go trick the Elders of the Demon Saint Mansion yourself!"

Upon hearing this, the Pterosaur's eyes lit up, and he immediately perked up.

He leaned in close to Zhang Yi and asked in a low voice: "Brother, teach me, how did you succeed in tricking them? Is there a secret?"

Zhang Yi squinted at him and said pretentiously: "The secret is... you have to be thick-skinned!"

"And you have to... drop a bird dropping on the face of the Demon Saint Mansion Elder in front of all the Demon Beasts."

The Pterosaur's mouth twitched, and he couldn't say a word.

The Lingfu was located in the back mountain of the Demon Saint Mansion, with a quiet environment and abundant spiritual energy.

Looking from afar, one could see exquisite little buildings scattered among the mountain forests, resembling a human fairyland.

Xiao Pu and the little Earth Dragon ran ahead like two wild horses off their leashes, occasionally turning back to urge the adults lagging behind to hurry up.

Nudi maintained a cold and aloof appearance, following Zhang Yi unhurriedly, her beautiful eyes occasionally sweeping over the surrounding scenery.

The Pterosaur, like a sycophant, followed closely by Zhang Yi's side, chattering incessantly about this and that, trying to extract more secrets about "tricking" the Elders from Zhang Yi.

"Brother Yi, tell me the truth, did you use some kind of beauty trap? Like batting your eyelashes at the Elder or something?"

The Pterosaur winked and asked with a lewd expression.

Zhang Yi rolled his eyes at him in disgust: "Do you think all Elders are as lecherous as you? I relied on real skill!"

"Real skill? What real skill? Tell me about it, let your brother learn something too!"

The Pterosaur looked expectant.

Zhang Yi smiled mysteriously, deliberately whetting his appetite: "Heavenly secrets must not be leaked!"

Just at this moment.

A massive Red Flame Tiger blocked their path.

The Red Flame Tiger was covered in raging flames, its tiger eyes glaring fiercely at Zhang Yi's group, and it roared in a low voice: "Who are you people? How dare you trespass into the forbidden area of the Demon Saint Mansion!"

Xiao Pu and the little Earth Dragon were so scared they hid behind Nudi, and the Pterosaur also subconsciously took a few steps back.

Zhang Yi stood out with a calm expression, smiling and cupping his hands: "This Tiger Brother, we are not trespassing; we have been invited to live in the Lingfu."

Upon hearing this, the Red Flame Tiger became even angrier: "Nonsense! The Lingfu is prepared for the Demon Beasts who won the Arena competition. What qualifications do you losers have to live there?"

Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow: "Losers? I haven't finished competing yet. Besides, what does it matter to you where we go? You aren't the guard dog of the Demon Saint Mansion, are you?"

"You..."

The Red Flame Tiger was so angry at Zhang Yi's words that its whiskers stood on end, "You brat really don't know what's good for you! Let me tell you, the Lingfu is a restricted area, no idlers allowed near! Get lost if you know what's good for you, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite!"

Zhang Yi sneered: "Impolite? I'd like to see how you plan to be impolite! I am going in today!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

The Scarlet Flame Tiger laughed in extreme anger, "If you can get in, I'll eat shit head-first!"

Zhang Yi looked at him with an amused expression and said slowly, "You said it yourself, don't go back on your word when the time comes!"

Having said that, Zhang Yi led the group and continued walking forward.

Seeing this, the Scarlet Flame Tiger became even more furious, opened its bloody maw, and was about to pounce toward Zhang Yi.

Just at this moment, Nudi suddenly made a move.

Her figure flashed, appearing instantly in front of the Scarlet Flame Tiger, and with a light wave of her slender jade hand, a powerful force sent the Scarlet Flame Tiger flying, causing it to crash heavily onto the ground.

The Scarlet Flame Tiger struggled to climb up, its eyes filled with terror.

It had never imagined that this seemingly delicate woman would possess such terrifying strength!

"Scram!"

Nudi coldly spat out the single word.

The Scarlet Flame Tiger was so scared it didn't dare let out a peep, tucked its tail between its legs, and fled in a dejected manner.
