Chapter 1999: Stirring Up Trouble

That little white cat was clearly just born, only at the Eightfold of Heaven and Earth realm, and wasn't even wearing a collar.

It lay on the cage, looking left and right.

The clamor here and the aura of ferocious beasts made it shiver, unwilling to move recklessly.

The woman pointed at the shop assistant and scolded, "A cat with no cultivation, you dare demand two hundred thousand Divine Crystals—do you think I'm easy to fool?"

"Miss Wang, how could I, a mere servant, dare deceive you! This truly is a rare specimen just retrieved from the Secret Realm of Chaotic Beast Mountain! Look at this cat's paws and tail—they're unlike any ordinary cat!"

The shop assistant, with a grievance on his face, defended himself.

Ye Liuyun quickened his steps toward the little white cat.

Ling'er immediately reminded him beside him, "Young Master Ye, that woman is the City Lord's daughter, notoriously arrogant and overbearing; you must not provoke her…"

However, Ye Liuyun had already reached them and said to the shop assistant, "I'll buy this white cat; it contains two hundred thousand Divine Crystals!"

As he spoke, he tossed a Storage Ring over, then directly placed the little white cat into the Space World, handing it to Bai Hu for care.

"I've found you a wife! You must take good care of it!"

Ye Liuyun told Bai Hu.

This little white cat is, in fact, a pure‑blood white tiger.

Bai Hu, seeing this, excitedly went up to sniff it all over.

The little white tiger, upon seeing its kind, pressed close to Bai Hu, appearing very affectionate.

"Where did you get it?"

Bai Hu asked excitedly.

"Bought it from the merchant guild.

It is said to have been taken from the Secret Realm of Chaotic Beast Mountain! Keep an eye out; when we reach Chaotic Beast Mountain, we'll definitely check that Secret Realm—maybe we can find more of your kind!"

Ye Liuyun replied to Bai Hu.

At this moment, the surrounding elegant sparrows were silent, and everyone stared at Ye Liuyun with curiosity.

Ling'er, the shop assistant, and the woman were all stunned by Ye Liuyun's actions.

Feng Hong Xiu also shook her head helplessly in secret.

Although she had never seen the woman, after Ling'er introduced her, she knew she was Wang Yufei.

Wang Yufei is the beloved daughter of City Lord Wang Tianqing, and she has a brother who commands the city guard, Leader Wang Yuxing.

The siblings are quite notorious in the city, specializing in bullying the weak and oppressing the populace.

Ordinary people without power dare not provoke them; at worst they'd be maimed, at best their whole family could be doomed.

"Scoundrel, do you know who I am?

I've set my eyes on that item, and you still dare to snatch it!"

Wang Yufei, at that moment, recovered and raised her hand to slap Ye Liuyun's face.

She was only at the mid‑stage of the Fourth Realm, yet Ye Liuyun didn't even flinch, and in one motion seized her wrist.

"Stop! How dare you!"

An elder behind Wang Yufei was about to rush forward to attack Ye Liuyun.

Suddenly, he found himself suppressed by a far stronger pressure, unable to move.

"Both master and servant are too overbearing, striking at the drop of a hat! They need a lesson!"

Thinking of this, Ye Liuyun squeezed hard, and a Snap! rang out, followed by Wang Yufei's anguished scream, clearly her arm having been snapped off by Ye Liuyun.

"When buying, whoever pays first gets it! I don't care who you are; if you dare lay a hand on me again, you'll see what happens! Get out!"

Ye Liuyun let out a final roar, then flicked his hand, sending Wang Yufei sprawling backward, landing hard on the ground.

"You…" Wang Yufei, angry and in pain, was at a loss for words.

She had never suffered such humiliation; clutching her broken arm, tears streamed down unabated.

The Steward of the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance who oversees the ferocious beast market rushed over to mediate.

"Miss, there are Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance experts present; they won't let us fight. Let's leave first."

At that moment, the force suppressing the elder vanished instantly.

The elder dared not attack Ye Liuyun again, assuming the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance had warned them; he could only help Wang Yufei to her feet, sending her a Transmission Voice in secret.

"I've remembered you.

Now wait for me!"

Wang Yufei, crying, snarled at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun sneered, letting out a cold snort, not even glancing at her.

After the elder dragged Wang Yufei away, the crowd gradually dispersed.

"Young Master Ye, you've caused trouble! That's the City Lord's daughter, Wang Yufei, notorious in the city for her arrogance.

She will surely take revenge on you; you should flee quickly!"

Ling'er whispered to Ye Liuyun.

"It's just a City Lord's mansion, nothing to worry about!"

Ye Liuyun replied indifferently.

Ling'er was also baffled by Ye Liuyun's relaxed attitude.

"Could Young Master Ye have an even bigger background?"

So she stopped urging him and continued strolling with Ye Liuyun.

"Young Master Ye, may I have a word?"

At that moment, Feng Hong Xiu suddenly sent a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun.

"Miss Hong Xiu, please speak!"

Ye Liuyun replied.

Feng Hong Xiu also reminded Ye Liuyun: "Although you are my employer, you must not deliberately cause trouble for me! Your target should be the National Preceptor of the Eastern Dynasty, not fighting a woman over a little cat!"

"That is a white tiger with pure bloodline!"

Ye Liuyun merely replied with a sentence, then asked Feng Hong Xiu: "What is the realm of the strongest expert in the City Lord's mansion?"

Upon hearing that, Feng Hong Xiu also stopped blaming Ye Liuyun.

If it truly is a white tiger with pure bloodline, then it would also be worth provoking some trouble.

Such a rare ferocious beast is indeed worth a fortune.

"It looks like the early middle stage of the Seventh Layer!"

Feng Hong Xiu replied.

Ye Liuyun also said nothing more, and with his Divine Sense glanced at the slave inside the Xuan Kong Shi whose toxin was almost completely resolved.

His realm is also rising; estimated after his strength recovers, dealing with a mid-Seventh Layer martial cultivator will be no problem.

"If possible, taking the opportunity to cause a big disturbance in the City Lord's mansion, then spread the news of my presence here to lure the National Preceptor over, would be better than letting him go to the border battlefield to kill soldiers."

Ye Liuyun secretly analyzed his own strength.

Now with Feng Hong Xiu and these newly recruited personnel, plus Ye Tiandao and the Sharp Blade Group, he actually wants to give it a try.

Moreover, his clone has already finished the affairs concerning Shui Bingyue over there, and is now bringing Man Shu and Lei Ming rushing here; they should arrive in about four or five days.

Once they arrive, Ye Liuyun will worry even less about the City Lord's mansion.

"Is there any way to delay for four or five days before clashing with the people of the City Lord's mansion?"

Ye Liuyun thought of this and again sent a voice transmission to Feng Hong Xiu to inquire.

Feng Hong Xiu, although she did not know what Ye Liuyun intended, but she knew he was surely thinking of a plan, thus she suggested to Ye Liuyun: "You can stay at the inn of the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance."

"Even if the City Lord's mansion goes berserk, it will not dare to attack the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance."

"Four or five days is no problem, but if it's too long, the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance might not be able to withstand the pressure from the City Lord's mansion."

Upon hearing that, Ye Liuyun also relaxed.

After strolling for another half day with no further gains, he had Ling'er bring him to purchase some high-realm ferocious beast's essence pellets, to serve as cultivation resources for the monster beasts as reserves.
