Chapter 99: The Chu Ji Lingfu Obtained Through Bluffs

Sure enough, Zhang Yi and Nudi were blasted out by the Great Demons.

"Get out, get out, get out! Where did this little piece of trash come from, daring to negotiate terms with us! Is a Lingfu something you can even covet? Why don't you go take a piss and look at your own reflection!"

A Great Demon with a face full of fat pointed at Zhang Yi's nose and cursed, spraying spit all over Zhang Yi's face.

Zhang Yi wiped his face in a bedraggled manner, feeling furious inside, yet he dared not lash out.

He glared fiercely at Nudi: "It's all your fault! Can't you just keep that mouth shut? Now look, everything is ruined!"

Nudi rolled her eyes, looking disdainful: "Blame me? These fat pigs are narrow-minded and lack stature, what does that have to do with me? This Empress was merely speaking the truth."

Zhang Yi almost couldn't catch his breath; this woman really was...

"Speaking the truth? That was you opening your mouth like a lion! You don't even look at your own worth, why would they give you a Lingfu for free?"

"What is this Empress's status? Staying in their Lingfu is doing them a favor!"

Nudi raised her chin haughtily.

Zhang Yi was completely speechless, thinking to himself that this woman was truly beyond saving.

Is this a question of whether they think highly of you or not?

You are practically acting like you're above the heavens!

"You hurry up and leave! Don't stay here and cause trouble for me!"

Zhang Yi waved his hand impatiently, shooing Nudi away as if chasing a fly.

After Nudi left, Zhang Yi took a deep breath, rubbed his face, put on a fawning smile, and walked into the Demon Saint Mansion once again.

This time, he had learned his lesson; his attitude was extremely low, and his tone was as humble as possible: "My lords, this little one knows he was wrong. Just now, I was ignorant and shouldn't have made those excessive demands."

"This little one was only wondering if I could borrow a Chu Ji Lingfu for a few days. I will move out immediately after the competition ends and will definitely not disturb you lords."

Seeing Zhang Yi's attitude change so drastically, the Great Demons were also somewhat surprised.

They exchanged glances, feeling that although this brat was annoying, as long as they could keep him quiet for a few days and stop him from coming out to cause trouble, giving him a Chu Ji Lingfu wouldn't be a loss.

"Ahem!"

A Great Demon cleared his throat, "Brat, what you just said, is it true?"

"Absolutely true! This little one swears to the heavens, I will never go back on my word!"

Zhang Yi held up three fingers and said solemnly.

The Great Demons whispered among themselves again.

"This brat is truly an uncertain factor; who knows what kind of mischief he's brewing?"

"Indeed, but as long as we can keep him quiet for these few days, giving him a Lingfu is no harm."

"But we've never had such a precedent before..."

"Isn't that because we've never encountered a weirdo like the Wangri Bird before? This brat is slippery as an eel; who knows what kind of trouble he'll stir up? Giving him a Lingfu to keep him quiet is better than him coming out to cause trouble every day."

"That's true, then let's give it to him. Hopefully, this time, he can stay quiet."

After the discussion, a Great Demon said to Zhang Yi: "Alright, brat, we'll agree to it this time. However, you must remember what you said; as soon as the competition ends, move out immediately, otherwise..."

"This little one understands! This little one understands! Many thanks to you lords!"

Zhang Yi bowed and scraped, looking overwhelmed with gratitude.

A Great Demon led Zhang Yi toward the Ling Fu Qu.

Along the way, Zhang Yi saw all kinds of Lingfu; the Gao Ji Lingfu were magnificent and golden, with overwhelming spiritual energy; the Zhong Ji Lingfu were ancient and elegant, filled with misty spiritual energy; but when he reached the Chu Ji Lingfu area, Zhang Yi instantly felt it was dull and uninteresting.

These Chu Ji Lingfu were drab and gray, with thin spiritual energy, simply incomparable to the Gao Ji Lingfu and Zhong Ji Lingfu he had seen before.

"Just... just this?"

Zhang Yi pointed at a dilapidated little courtyard in front of him and asked in disbelief.

The leading Great Demon waved his hand impatiently: "Just this! Take it or leave it! If you don't want it, get lost!"

Zhang Yi cursed silently in his heart; the drop in quality was too huge!

The Gao Ji Lingfu he saw earlier had spiritual energy so dense it was like milk; he had wanted to dive right in and cultivate for a few hundred years!

Looking at this Chu Ji Lingfu again, the spiritual energy was as thin as plain water; it was practically trash!

"My lord, this... this spiritual energy is too thin, isn't it? If this little one cultivates here, I'm afraid the effect will be minimal..."

Zhang Yi said with a mournful face.

"You brat are still complaining? It's good enough that you have a place to stay! Don't be ungrateful!"

The Great Demon glared at him, "Even for this Chu Ji Lingfu, many little demons are fighting to get one! Don't you go getting a bargain and still acting like you've been wronged!"

"Well... alright then."

Zhang Yi suppressed his dissatisfaction and reluctantly agreed.

After all, it was free.

Other Demon Beast didn't even have one if they wanted it.

How should I put it, it's better than nothing.

The Great Demon tossed him a token: "Take it! This is the key to the Lingfu, don't lose it!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Zhang Yi took the token, pushed open the door, and walked in.

A rich wave of spiritual energy rushed toward him, as if he were in a forest at dawn, carrying the fragrance of soil and the scent of plants.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling every pore on his body relax.

"Tsk tsk, it really is worthy of being a Lingfu in the Demon Saint Mansion; even a Chu Ji Lingfu is this wonderful."

He looked around; this Chu Ji Lingfu was actually just an independent little courtyard.

The courtyard was not large, and in the center stood an old, crooked peach tree, with a few green, unripe peaches hanging sparsely from the branches; it was hard to say if they would ever grow to maturity.

Under the tree was a stone table and a few stone stools, which looked quite old, their surfaces covered in moss.

The surrounding walls of the courtyard were built from a type of grey-black stone, pitted and uneven, covered in unknown vines, and looked quite dilapidated.

Apart from this old peach tree and the stone table and stone stools, there were no other decorations in the courtyard.

The ground was covered with some gravel, which creaked when stepped on. Zhang Yi walked to the wall, reached out to touch those vines, and discovered that they actually emitted a trace of faint Qi.

"These vines are actually quite interesting."

Zhang Yi thought to himself, "I wonder what species they are, to be able to grow in a place where Qi is so thin."

Walking into the house, Zhang Yi discovered there was only one room, and the area was not large, only about twenty square meters or so.

The room was simple, with only a wooden bed, a wooden table, and a wooden chair.

Some sundries were piled in the corner, covered in dust.

"This is too shabby!"

Zhang Yi could not help but complain, "Is this really a Lingfu? It's practically a dilapidated shack!"

It was clear at a glance that those Great Demons were usually lazy and neglected the maintenance.

He walked to the bedside, patted the mattress with his hand, and discovered it was stuffed with hay, hard as a rock, and not comfortable at all.

He walked to the table again, reached out to touch the tabletop, and discovered it was also covered in a thick layer of dust.

"Can people really live in this place?"

Zhang Yi's heart was filled with questions.

He walked to the doorway, looked at the courtyard once more, then returned inside, pacing back and forth with his brows tightly locked.

"Their family has six people; if they all move in, won't it be too crowded?"
