Chapter 420: Strong Dragon Wants to Overpower the Local Snake

Cooperation?

Lin Yang laughed and asked upon hearing these two words.

"What cooperation?"

Zhu Youjun looked at Lin Yang and said.

"I can sell the Longevity Pill for you."

"With the Zhu Family's signboard, the Longevity Pill you sell will not be priced below one hundred million."

Lin Yang retorted: "If I don't let your Zhu Family sell it, then you won't be able to guarantee the price, right?"

Zhu Youjun fell silent for a moment, tapped the table, and said.

"You're making a fortune by reviving the dead; you'll inevitably attract envy."

"And as a century-old family, the Zhu Family can protect you."

"You should know the principle that it's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree."

Hearing Zhu Youjun's words, Lin Yang laughed and said.

"Do you think your family's tree is bigger than mine?"

Regarding Lin Yang's words, Zhu Youjun neither got angry nor found it strange.

Before coming, he had already learned about Lin Yang.

This is someone who could even subdue Elder Ding Biao, so naturally he has his own pride.

He spoke very calmly.

"Compared to you, the Zhu Family's foundation is not something you can match."

"I dare not say this elsewhere, but in Jinling, when the Zhu Family says 'one,' no one dares say 'two.'"

Seeing Lin Yang silent, he continued.

"Moreover, I didn't come to threaten you; I came to achieve mutual benefit."

"Mutual benefit?"

Lin Yang's mouth curled slightly as he asked.

"I don't know; how exactly is this mutual benefit supposed to work?"

"I'll sell the pills, hang the Zhu Family's sign, and then we'll split the profits fifty-fifty."

Lin Yang, upon hearing this, did not find it strange.

These great families are all very proud.

Whether it was the Huo Family or the Li Family originally, they all felt that relying on their name alone could net them a lot of money.

This method might work for others, but it doesn't work for Lin Yang.

The pills he refines are a one-of-a-kind existence in the world today.

Just relying on the name to split evenly with him is impossible.

"Mr. Zhu, you're a guest today, and I don't want to start a conflict with you—please leave."

Zhu You Shun, hearing Lin Yang's words, couldn't help but frown and ask.

"Do you think the Zhu Family isn't worthy of a fifty-fifty split with you?"

Seeing Zhu You Shun directly bring out the Zhu Family to pressure him, Lin Yang, without any fear, retorted.

"What do you think?"

Hearing this, Zhu You Shun's face darkened and he asked.

"Are you looking down on the Zhu Family?"

Lin Yang shook his head and said: "You want the Zhu Family to pressure me? Sorry, it won't work."

"Please leave."

Seeing that even after bringing out the Zhu Family, he still couldn't suppress Lin Yang,

Zhu You Shun fell silent for a moment, then said to Lin Yang.

"How about a four-six split, with us taking four and you six?"

"Four-six?"

Lin Yang still shook his head.

Seeing Lin Yang shake his head, Zhu You Shun truly became angry this time.

He slammed the table and said: "In your eyes, is the Zhu Family really worth so little?"

I thought Lin Yang would be frightened for a moment, but unexpectedly he replied directly.

"Not bad; in my eyes, the Zhu Family is worth nothing."

Zhu You Shun pointed at Lin Yang and said angrily.

"You dare to offend the Zhu Family—do you believe I can make it impossible for you to get by in Jinling?"

Lin Yang narrowed his eyes, looking at Zhu You Shun.

"Please leave."

Zhu You Shun still wanted to speak, but Lin Yang's voice grew heavier.

"Please leave."

At this moment, Zhu You Shun's body instantly stiffened, and sweat poured from his forehead.

At this time, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

The intense chill made his whole body tremble.

He felt that if he stayed here any longer, he would really be killed.

Panicked in his heart, he left Lin Yang's villa.

After walking outside the villa, the feeling of fear in his heart diminished considerably.

He panted heavily, gazing at Lin Yang's villa.

At the same time, he was utterly puzzled inside.

Why does Lin Yang dare not give face to the Zhu family?

In the past, as long as I mentioned the Zhu family,

even if the other party was unwilling, I still had to give them a share of profit for my family, gritting my teeth.

This time, Lin Yang gave no face at all.

"Could it be just because he is a cultivator?"

Thinking of the grievance he suffered earlier in the villa, Zhu You Shun snorted and said.

"Kid, you're impressive!"

"But once you have witnessed the might of my Zhu family, you will regret it."

Saying that, he stormed off angrily.

At that moment inside the villa, Huo Shui Xian looked at Lin Yang and chuckled.

"As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not crush the local snake; the Zhu family in Jinling is like a local emperor."

"You refusing to give them face like this—really no problem?"

Hearing Huo Shui Xian's words, Lin Yang laughed.

"I am a true dragon of the mortal realm; they are merely earth snakes—I could crush them with a single kick, what is there to fear?"

Lin Yang's metaphor made Huo Shui Xian giggle loudly, her chest rising and falling with laughter.

Then she embraced Lin Yang from behind and whispered with a laugh.

"Come on, true dragon of the mortal realm, it's time to rest."

Early the next morning, Wang Lin arrived at the villa early.

Upon entering the villa, Wang Lin immediately knelt on the ground, his face full of panic as he said.

"Please punish me, Mr. Lin."

Lin Yang didn't even glance at Wang Lin kneeling on the ground, and said indifferently.

"What crime have you committed?"

Wang Lin's forehead poured with cold sweat as he spoke anxiously.

"I sold five hundred million worth of Life-Extending Pills to the Zhu family yesterday."

"Then..."

He lifted his head and glanced at Lin Yang, seeing Lin Yang calmly drinking tea, he gritted his teeth and said.

"Then they pressed me for the source of the Life-Extending Pills."

"I told them about you."

Lin Yang looked at the panicked Wang Lin and said softly.

"The Zhu family people came to see me and proposed a six-four split."

"But I refused them; are you afraid?"

Wang Lin shouted: "I will always stand with you."

"Alright, go to the Zhu family now."

"Tell them I can extend the life of the Zhu family patriarch by ten years."

"However, I will charge one hundred billion—that's ten billion per year; ask them how many years they wish to extend."

Hearing this, Wang Lin swallowed saliva and said cautiously.

"What if they actually come up with a hundred billion?"

"Then I could extend their lives by a hundred years—it's just prolonging life; for me, it's not difficult."

"If they ask about the Life-Extending Pills, just say the Zhu family is not worthy to negotiate with me."

He looked at Wang Lin kneeling on the ground, face full of shock, and asked with a smile.

"What, you don't dare to say it?"

Wang Lin immediately said: "I'll go say it right now!"

Then he rose to his feet and hurriedly ran out.

After Wang Lin left, Huo Shui Xian, wearing a pink nightgown, her hair loosely draped behind her, with a peach-blossom complexion, came downstairs from upstairs.

She came to Lin Yang's side, resting her head on his thigh.

"You say, will the Zhu family get angry?"

Lin Yang stroked her hair and said with a smile.

"Whether they are angry or not, the money still has to be given to me."

"As a dragon that has crossed the river, taking some money from the local snakes is not excessive, right?"

Hearing Lin Yang's words, Huo Shui Xian giggled continuously.
