“Ouch!”
A seductive voice came from inside the cave.
“What kind of wind is blowing you over from Demon Ridge?” Blackwind Granny said with a smile.
“We’ve been old friends for a long time. Stop pretending to be all cordial,” said the man in black indifferently.
Blackvvind Granny’s smiling face froze and disappeared, replaced by a mocking, cold sneer.
“You Bat King never pay a visit unless there’s something of interest to you.
Speak up. What is it?”
The man in black looked up at the cave entrance and said, “You haven’t changed at all – always making a mess in your lair. What else could it be? It’s for our upcoming plan. My subordinates need to drink blood every day, and we can’t wait any longer. If it weren’t for your promise of providing us with enough human blood, I wouldn’t be here to help.”
Blackwind Granny naturally understood and said, “We each take what we need, don’t act unwilling. Once our goal is achieved, you will be duly rewarded.”
The man in black said, “The human race’s sect is a bit tricky to deal with. If we confront the Immortal Yearning Sect head-on, we’ll be no match for them. So will the Spider King take action?”
He had heard from the mouths of several powerful demons that there was a Blackvvind Granny in Blackwind Cave, who was quite strong. What was more important was the powerful demon behind her, known as the Spider King. Although it had only recently entered the Demon King Realm, its power was not weaker than that of his old Demon King title.
The man in black was the king among the Bat Demons, and being bats, they tended to inhabit dark corners and were virtually everywhere. As a result, they were extremely well-informed and covert. To fight against a human sect and take control of its territory, everyone needed to work together.
“We have already prepared traps in every city, waiting for the sect members to jump in. Our only worry is being discovered by disciples in the Initiation Stage.” “What’s so special about those at Initiation Stage? Haven’t many of them died at my hands?”
The man in black licked his lips and smiled cruelly.
Blackvvind Granny said coldly, “Don’t be so arrogant. Take things slow. The Immortal Yearning Sect is just the first obstacle. There are still Immortal Sects guarding the human race. To take control of the surrounding thousand miles in this operation is already quite an achievement.”
The man in black laughed but said nothing.
“Hurry up and get ready. Because the human race lights lamps every night and it’s hard for us to act unseen, my children have already been hungry for days.” The man in black turned back into a giant bat and flew away from the cave, spreading his giant black wings.
“After all, it’s still a competition.”
After the Bat King left, a deep and powerful voice sounded from the Bone Mountain.
“Sir, are you awake?” Blackwind Granny called out softly toward the ten-meter-high Bone Mountain.
A large number of skulls fell to reveal a huge figure inside.
A giant spider, as big as a hill, stood much taller than Blackwind Granny.
The upper part of its body formed a human figure more than three meters tall, with a man’s face, and a well-defined eight-pack abdomen. Its body was covered with golden lines, and it wore a dark golden battle armor.
It stood in front of a bloody pool, as endless blood qi flowed from the pool into its nostrils. Its human face showed an expression of pleasure.
This was the Spider Demon King mentioned by Blackwind Granny.
He was the king of an eight-hundred-mile stretch of hills, with a power comparable to a human Golden Core, the Spider King of the green-eyed human-faced spiders.
Even a wild pig in a pigsty was considered a Pig King. So why not top it off and give himself a fancy title like Spider King?
“He’s very cunning. Don’t trust him too much. The size of the cake in this land is limited, and we’re still competitors with him,” said the human-faced Spider King indifferently.
“So, what does the sir plan to do?” Blackwind Granny asked respectfully in front of him.
“It depends on the situation. We’ll sit back and watch the tigers fight, but inevitably, we’ll have to face the sects ourselves. When the time comes, the ones to die cannot be us, and at the very least, we must retreat with our whole bodies intact.” The human-faced Spider King looked deeply at Blackwind Granny.
“Everything will be up to you, sir,” Blackwind Granny said with a charming smile.
Then she called out to a nearby cave, “Little Green, it’s your turn to serve the King today.”
Immediately, a “giggling” sound was heard. A relatively small human-faced spider emerged from the darkness, her face resembling a young girl.
“Yes.”
She looked quite attractive and lively, with long hair – but the essence of her appearance was quite off-putting.
The human-faced Spider King didn’t seem to mind, nodding with satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Huai’s pawnshop, which had been closed for a few days, finally reopened.
Business was booming, as customers were backed up from the previous days.
Among them, there were many gamblers who cried out, “Pawnshop Young Master, if you’re not open, we’re out of money.”
If it weren’t for the gamblers, Zhao Huai wouldn’t have been able to earn so much money through high-interest loans.
You think we have no background?
Sorry, but whether in terms of dark schemes or legitimate means, you really can’t outplay or outfight us.Today, for the first time, Zhao Huai’s pawnshop was very busy.
As always, the melon-eating girl Pei Xiangyun didn’t do a thing. She just squinted her apricot eyes and watched Zhao Huai work.
Yu Qinghan wanted to help, but she was also worried about getting in the way.
After all, evaluating treasures is a specialized skill.
So, she could only watch helplessly.
“Sis, come play chess with me.”
Since the sisters were bored, they had no choice but to go inside and play chess.
Pei Xiangyun brought out a pear from somewhere, took a bite with her cherry lips, placed a white piece, and spoke while eating,
“Sis, I’ve been asking around about our brother-in-law’s background lately.
Guess what, it’s a complete blank.
Yu Qinghan picked up a black piece without lifting her head, seemingly deep in thought, “What are you thinking about now?”
Pei Xiangyun grumbled, “You haven’t seen him that night, how he grabbed my clothes and interrogated me, controlling his sword to leave while saying Xia
Country needs a change – so imposing. It’s like he wanted to stir up the world. He even went to the Imperial Palace, killed a bunch of people, and defeated the four skilled fighters in the capital city with his hands. I really don’t know his identity or background.”
Yu Qinghan opened her hand, implying, ‘so what?’
Pei Xiangyun, with her jade hand supporting her forehead, was left speechless. “Sis, you were able to marry him out of nowhere.”
“As long as my husband cherishes me, I don’t care about anything else.”
Pei Xiangyun wanted to say something but hesitated, for she didn’t know how to argue.
What could she say? Could she say that this man had ulterior motives?
Her brother-in-law boldly entered the Imperial City with just a sword, fought against a Golden Core expert overnight, and deterred opponents from all sides. Who in the world could do that? And who would have the courage?
No one would dare to say that her brother-in-law had ulterior motives, or else her sister would probably be the first to chop them down.
Anyway, her sister was indeed a … love-brain.
In her brother-in-law’s words, it was like this:
Yu Qinghan placed her piece and chuckled, “You said that I married someone without knowing anything, but that’s because you don’t understand the feeling of being deeply attracted. It’s because you’re still little. But I doubt you’ll understand in the future either. It might be challenging to find a husband.”
“I’m not little!”
Pei Xiangyun, all puffed up, felt teased by her sister and got her nose rubbed in dirt.
Suddenly, the pear in her hand had lost its flavor.
She was full again.
After being busy for a while, the guests finally left.
Zhao Huai took a deep breath and checked the accounts.
He then stood at the entrance of the shop, taking in the summer breeze, which was quite refreshing.
With nothing to do, Zhao Huai lifted his brush, intending to write a poem.
The previous one had been burned, so it was time for a new one.
He ground the ink and picked up the brush. When he finished, he read it slowly, “A peaceful home brings prosperity to all matters.”
After the ink dried, he packed it up to hang on the wall.
Finishing these tasks, Zhao Huai sat down, took a sip of tea, and took out the golden bronze coins, rubbing them gently.
Without these, he might not have been able to save Madam, nor would he be as leisurely as he was now.
Let’s see how his fortune is today.
[Misfortune and fortune are intertwined, let’s take a look]
[Hexagram one: It takes a three-feet sword to vanquish demons, and those who tied the bell shall untie the bell. Your fortune today is ‘Misfortune.’] Trace Guidance: Demons are hiding in the city, a sign of a great calamity.
Upon reading this, Zhao Huai’s eyelids jumped. Forget it, he shouldn’t have said that flag.
