Chapter 103: The Frustrated Red Flame Tiger

~7 min read 1,397 words

Zhang Yi watched the Red Flame Tiger looking frustrated, and his heart felt incredibly satisfied.

This silly tiger must be regretting it so much that its guts have turned green.

However, now is not the time to gloat; he must quickly enter the Lingfu and take the Jubiao family to see it.

If he is late, the competition at the Arena will end, and there will be even more Demon Beasts passing by.

If word of this extorted Lingfu gets out, it will be troublesome.

Nudi seemed to understand Zhang Yi's thoughts as well, flapping her wings and slapping them against Zhang Yi's head.

The force was not great, but it was full of warning.

"What are you dawdling for? Get in quickly! This Lingfu isn't yours, so stop showing off!"

Zhang Yi rubbed his head and rolled his eyes, "I know, you don't need to tell me that."

He muttered to himself: This woman is becoming more and more like a nagging housekeeper.

But he dared not retort out loud, turning his head to call out to the Jubiao family: "Let's go, follow me inside to take a look."

The Jubiao mother nodded excitedly.

The family marched imposingly into the Lingfu, leaving a group of Demon Beasts outside watching longingly.

Envy, jealousy, and hatred!

What kind of dog-shit luck did this kid have to actually get the key to a Lingfu!

The Red Flame Tiger felt its face burning even more, having lost face to the point of no return.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone hadn't come to their senses yet, it tucked its tail and ran away sneakily, fearing someone would remember its promise to "stand on its head and eat shit."

Crossing the gate of the Lingfu, Zhang Yi felt as if he had passed through a thin membrane, and the view before him suddenly opened up.

While it was said to have opened up, it was actually just changing from dim to slightly less dim.

The interior space of this Chu Ji Lingfu was not large; one could see to the end at a single glance.

Xiaopugongying and the little earth dragon had never seen such a setup; as soon as they entered, they went wild, running back and forth in the limited space like two marbles bumping around in a box.

The little earth dragon excitedly dug at the ground with its small claws, occasionally arching up a small mound of dirt, only to excitedly push it flat again.

Xiaopugongying was even more exaggerated, flying directly up like a drunken fur ball, drifting up and down, emitting "hee-hee-hee" laughter.

The Pterosaur, however, stood in place with a look of disdain, shook its wings, and complained, "This is a Lingfu? This is too shabby! There isn't even a decent piece of furniture; it's empty, like a bird's nest."

Zhang Yi rolled his eyes and said irritably: "You kid, be content; I even cleaned this up! Before you came, it was full of dust and spiderwebs, dirtier than a pigsty."

The Pterosaur snorted disdainfully: "Pfft, just this? And you have the nerve to call it a Lingfu? The place I lived before was truly luxurious, with all kinds of heavenly treasures piled up like mountains and spiritual spring waterfalls everywhere. Nothing like this place, which doesn't even have a blade of grass."

"The place you lived before?"

Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow, looking the Pterosaur up and down, "Are you bragging? You? You lived in a luxurious Lingfu? I think you were probably picked up from some trash heap."

The Pterosaur was about to retort but was interrupted by the Jubiao mother.

"Alright, Xiao Feng, stop talking."

The Jubiao mother said gently to Zhang Yi, "Having something is better than having nothing. Although this place is a bit simple, it is a Lingfu after all, and the spiritual energy inside is very abundant; it is a good place for cultivation."

Although the Pterosaur was somewhat reluctant, it still obediently shut its mouth.

The Jubiao mother looked around, joy appearing in her eyes. "The spiritual energy is indeed dense, much stronger than outside. With this Lingfu, our cultivation speed can be greatly improved."

Zhang Yi nodded: "That's right, although this Lingfu is a bit small, it has everything it needs; it has all the necessary functions, and it is very safe inside, so there won't be other Demon Beasts disturbing us, and we can cultivate with peace of mind."

After settling the Lingfu, the next problem was the accommodation arrangement. This Chu Ji Lingfu had cramped space and could hold at most two people.

Zhang Yi took the lead in proposing: "I think it should be like this: I will take Xiao Pu and the little earth dragon in; they are still young and need someone to take care of them."

Nudi raised her phoenix eyes, her red lips parting slightly: "I was the one who found a way to get this Lingfu, so I want to live in it too."

Zhang Yi spread his hands: "Then how do we live? We can't just squeeze into a pile, can we?"

Nudi replied without hesitation: "One person per day, taking turns."

The Pterosaur flapped its wings with a look of disdain: "You humans are so troublesome. Whoever wants to live in this broken place can; anyway, this master won't. It's better to stay outside and be free."

Seeing this, the Jubiao mother quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Xiao Feng, although this Lingfu is simple, it is rich in spiritual energy and is of great benefit to cultivation."

She turned to Zhang Yi and Nudi and said: "Children, I think we should arrange it like this: Zhang Yi and Xiao Pu and the little earth dragon for one day, and Nudi for one day, taking turns living there, how about that?"

Nudi pondered for a moment and nodded: "That's fine, let's do it that way."

Zhang Yi naturally had no objections.

Thus, the accommodation arrangement for the Lingfu was happily decided.

In the end, under the arrangement of the Jubiao mother, it was decided that Zhang Yi and Nudi would each take turns bringing Xiao Pu and the little earth dragon to live there for one day.

At the same time, the Arena competition at the Demon Saint Mansion came to an end.

Having watched the competition for a day, the Demon Beasts were tired of sitting.

They dragged their exhausted bodies as they walked back.

"Hey, today was really tough; I almost died there."

A wild boar demon covered in wounds complained as he walked, his wounds still oozing blood.

"Who's to say it wasn't? To fight for a Lingfu, it cost me my old life..."

A one-eyed wolf demon echoed, covering his empty eye socket with his claw, "My eye was dug out by that damn pangolin! Next time I run into him, I'll definitely skin him and pull out his tendons!"

"Forget it, with your three-legged cat skills, you want to skin someone? It'll be good enough if you don't get skinned by them!"

A sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked weasel demon mocked, "I think you'd better stay far away next time, so you don't lose your other eye!"

The wild boar demon and the wolf demon were about to retort when suddenly, a massive rhinoceros demon interjected, "You guys, tell me, is what I saw today real or fake?"

"What thing? Being all mysterious." The weasel demon asked curiously.

The rhinoceros demon lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I saw today that the Wangri Bird family actually entered the Lingfu zone of the Demon Saint Mansion!"

"What the hell?! The Wangri Bird family entered the Lingfu zone?!" The wild boar demon widened his eyes, looking incredulous, "Old Rhino, you didn't see wrong, did you? That's the Lingfu zone! Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get in there!"

"Exactly! Old Xi, are your eyes playing tricks on you?"

The wolf demon also expressed doubt, "What qualifications does that Wangri Bird family have to enter the Lingfu zone?"

"Pah! I saw it clearly! The Wangri Bird family entered the Lingfu zone together! It is absolutely true!"

The rhinoceros demon said with certainty, "At the time, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, so I specifically rubbed them, but it was still them! Furthermore, I also saw the Red Flame Tiger!"
