Chapter 6: The Demon Envoy's Files!
Lu Xiaobai's pleasant voice instantly brought Feng Shayan back to her senses.
A fleeting hint of embarrassment crossed her face, but it was quickly suppressed by the young lady's assertiveness.
Just as they were about to regroup and try to win him over, Fengshayan discovered...
Lu Xiaobai's eyes, which shimmered with a deep blue light, never left Zhang Chulan, who was locked in combat in the distance!
It was as if she, the young lady of the World Society, was less attractive than Zhang Chulan, who had been beaten to a pulp, when she stood in front of him!
An indescribable sense of frustration spread through the heart of the sand gull.
She bit her lower lip, thinking to herself:
Yeah, I just called him Feng Baobao's gigolo, and now he's shamelessly clinging to me... Who wouldn't be happy about that?
What if it were her?
I guess I'll have to give them the cold shoulder.
"Uh...hehe..." Feng Shayan cleared her throat, trying to force out what she thought was a very friendly smile, and softened her voice a bit.
"Um... little brother?"
"It was my fault just now, I spoke without thinking. I apologize! Let me introduce myself, my name is Feng Shayan, and I am the daughter of Feng Zhenghao, the chairman of Tianxiahui Group."
When she mentioned her father's name, a hint of pride unconsciously appeared between her brows.
Looking at the boy in front of him who was even younger than his younger brother Feng Xingtong, he thought that the title of one of the Ten Elders should have some weight, right?
however……
Silence, deathly silence.
Lu Xiaobai didn't even lift her eyelids, as if her words were nothing but air, and as if she herself were nothing but air.
This feeling... it's exactly the same as that of Feng Baobao next to me, who speaks with a Sichuan accent and is just as infuriating!
The veins on Feng Shayan's forehead throbbed twice, instantly forming a clear "well" shape, and her body trembled slightly with anger.
She clenched her fists tightly.
This kid! He's so good-looking, how come his personality is so unlikable!
I only said one thing to you, why are you being so petty?!
Little did she know that Lu Xiaobai had no interest in paying attention to her and didn't want to know her at all.
If she hadn't been so close and staring at him, making him feel annoyed, he wouldn't have even bothered to say anything polite.
"Hey!" Feng Shayan's patience finally ran out, and her voice rose a few decibels.
"Hey you! You just said it was impolite for people to stare, and now look at your own attitude! Pretending to be deaf and dumb is considered polite?"
silence.
Lu Xiaobai remained silent.
His profile was excessively beautiful, and excessively indifferent, under the moonlight. He completely ignored the sand gulls, whose anger was escalating right next to him, as mere background figures.
The sand martins really couldn't hold back any longer!
From childhood to adulthood, when has she ever been ignored like this?
She is a powerful space-type superhuman!
She's the eldest daughter of the World Society! She's the biological daughter of Feng Zhenghao, one of the Ten Elders!
Doesn't she have any pride?!
Looking at Lu Xiaobai's exquisite yet aloof profile, a surge of anger rushed to his head.
She really wanted to grab his hand and give that pretty face a good squeeze, to teach him what manners and respect really meant!
"call--!"
Feng Shayan took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the urge to attack.
But she suddenly took a step forward, her right hand moving with lightning speed, and with a bit of anger and embarrassment, she slapped Lu Xiaobai's shoulder—she was determined to make him take her seriously today!
Just as her fingertips were about to touch the white trench coat!
A hand with distinct knuckles and slightly rough texture, like an iron clamp, suddenly reached out from behind and gripped her wrist tightly!
A familiar force came, and Feng Shayan's wrist seemed to be welded to mid-air. No matter how hard she tried, she could not move forward even an inch!
Then,
A familiar yet irritating voice, thick with a Sichuan accent, rang lazily in her ear, carrying a hint of icy warning:
"Can't you see he doesn't want to talk to you? Take one more step closer, and believe me, I'll chop your hand off right now!"
It's Feng Baobao!
The sand swallow's movements suddenly froze.
She slowly, very slowly lowered her head, the strands of hair falling across her forehead obscuring her expression, making it impossible to see the emotions in her eyes.
Only her clenched fists, cracking loudly, betrayed the raging anger and humiliation churning within her.
"Holy crap! Boss! Calm down! Calm down!"
"Yes, yes, don't be impulsive! Please don't be impulsive!"
The two women from the World Alliance who had been watching the battle with bated breath rushed over as soon as they saw the situation was turning against them.
They grabbed Feng Shayan's arms from both sides and dragged her backward.
Their faces were full of wry smiles as they apologized to Feng Shayan while also glancing apologetically at Feng Baobao and Lu Xiaobai.
Being caught in the middle is a bitter pill to swallow; it's hard to be a good person!
Just as she was being helped back a meter or two, Feng Shayan suddenly broke free from the support of her two subordinates.
She raised her head, her chest heaving violently, as if she were trying her best to suppress the anger that was about to burst forth.
She tried her best to maintain a calm and composed expression.
His gaze passed over Feng Baobao, who was blocking his way, and locked firmly onto Lu Xiaobai once again.
She took a deep breath and decided to ignore Lu Xiaobai's indifference and throw out the prepared bargaining chips directly—since the other party was unmoved by reason, she would use the most direct benefits to move him!
"Sir!"
The sandpiper's call was deliberately raised, carrying an undeniable confidence:
"I imagine the 'company' pays you quite well, right? Of course, with your abilities, you absolutely deserve that value! But what I want to say is..."
She spoke faster, as if afraid of being interrupted, or as if she didn't care whether Lu Xiaobai was listening or not.
After all, there are plenty of strange people in the world of supernatural beings.
She had no choice but to take a gamble:
"I mean, you deserve better!"
"While our World Society may not have the same depth and foundation as the 'Company' in some aspects, if you are willing to condescend to join us, we will certainly grant you the highest level of respect and the most exalted status! Whatever you desire!"
"Money! Power! Status! Top-tier cultivation resources! A vast network of connections!"
"Our World Society can meet all your needs! And the terms will definitely be far more generous than what the 'Company' offers!"
Feng Shayan originally wanted to add "beautiful women" as an option.
After all, regardless of gender, the desire for the opposite sex is an instinct ingrained in our bones, and it is often the most touching quality.
But she swallowed the words back.
Looking at Lu Xiaobai's almost ethereal beauty under the moonlight, she instantly found the condition utterly ridiculous.
Such a being, with the mere snap of his fingers, could probably draw countless women like moths to a flame, willing to abandon all dignity and wealth for just one night...
woman?
For him, it was probably the cheapest and most readily available thing.
What kind of being is worthy of, or truly possesses, a "treasure" like Lu Xiaobai?
This question is a thought that involuntarily arises in the minds of almost everyone who knows Lu Xiaobai.
Of course, Feng Baobao is an exception...
Just when Feng Shayan thought her impassioned "poaching declaration" was about to sink without a trace—
"Um……"
A very faint nasal sound, as if it were made unconsciously, came from Lu Xiaobai's direction.
The sand martins perked up suddenly! They reacted!
Immediately afterwards, Lu Xiaobai's ethereal and calm voice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, rang out.
Although his gaze remained fixed on the distant battlefield:
"Although I'm not particularly interested... if you can find the materials I need for me... I'll give you an equivalent amount of magic potion, or alchemy or magical items in exchange."
He heard it! He really listened!
and many more……
Magical potions? Alchemy tools? Magical implements?
These words seemed somewhat unfamiliar and strange to most of the extraordinary people present.
But Feng Shayan, as the eldest daughter of the Tianxia Society, was well-informed and, in a moment of change of mind, immediately grasped the key point!
That's it!
The mysterious and incredibly capable young man in front of me is not some kind of "superhuman" from within the country!
He is a "magician" from the West!
Although both "superhuman" and "magician" are terms for people with supernatural abilities, the intricacies, systems, and backgrounds behind them are worlds apart!
No wonder he possesses such incredible support, healing, and even enhancement abilities, yet he is nowhere to be found in the domestic community of supernatural beings, as if he appeared out of thin air!
It turns out that they were never even in this "circle" before!
This realization instantly elevated Feng Shayan's assessment of Lu Xiaobai's value to a new level.
This also strengthened her resolve to win him over (or at least establish a business relationship with him).
A "master alchemist" and "alchemist" from the Western magic system?
This is an absolute treasure!
boom--!!!
Just as Feng Shayan was rapidly calculating how to respond to this "deal," the battle that had attracted everyone's attention in the distance finally erupted with a deafening roar, announcing its end!
The blinding electric light and the heavy golden light collided fiercely for the last time!
Zhang Chulan was like a mad tiger.
Pushing the "Runic Runes" to their limit, his fists and feet, crackling with violent electric arcs, bombarded Zhang Lingyu's golden light shield like a storm!
boom! boom! boom!
The golden light trembled violently! Zhang Lingyu's expression was solemn, forced to proceed cautiously step by step by this brute force and reckless fighting style.
However, the gap in spiritual cultivation is insurmountable!
Just as Zhang Chulan's lightning-fast punch was about to strike Zhang Lingyu's face, the old force had just dissipated and the new force had not yet arisen—
Zhang Lingyu's figure swayed slightly like a ghost as she precisely dodged the attack!
At the same time, he condensed a ball of golden light to the extreme in his left hand, and struck Zhang Chulan's wide-open chest with lightning speed, even though it was delayed!
Bang-!
A muffled thud!
The electric light on Zhang Chulan instantly dissipated!
His eyes widened in shock, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he was sent flying like a tattered sack, crashing heavily several meters away and rolling a few times.
Zhang Lingyu withdrew his palm and stood up.
His plain Taoist robe was stained with some dust, the cuffs were torn, and his breathing was slightly rapid, indicating that his victory was not easy.
He looked at Zhang Chulan lying on the ground, a fleeting complex emotion flashing in his cold eyes before finally settling into calm.
The dust has settled.
Feng Shayan immediately ignored the outcome of the battle and stared intently at Lu Xiaobai:
"Magic potions? Alchemy tools? Excellent! Mr. Lu, the World Trade Center will accept this deal! What materials do you need?"
Lu Xiaobai's right eye, which had been shimmering with a deep blue light, finally withdrew from Zhang Chulan's direction.
He tilted his head slightly, looking directly at the sand swallow for the first time, his gaze as calm as if he were assessing an object:
"Someone will give you the list later. As for the reward... we'll see what you find."
After saying that, he ignored him and walked towards Zhang Chulan, who had fallen to the ground, the hem of his white trench coat fluttering in the night wind.
The sandpiper stood frozen in place, watching the indifferent departing figure, a surge of resentment rising in its chest.
Let's see what we can find first! This is like treating a errand boy like a servant!
"You...!" She was so angry she almost exploded, but thinking of that mysterious ability and its immense value, she swallowed it back and forced out through gritted teeth:
"...Okay! I'll wait for your list!"
She watched Lu Xiaobai walk towards Zhang Chulan with a sense of sullen resentment, then glanced at Feng Baobao, who had her arms crossed and looked like she had known this all along. She felt extremely humiliated tonight.
But looking at Lu Xiaobai's aloof and ethereal figure under the moonlight,
That intense, determined possessiveness burned even brighter than before!
This Western magician... she and the World Society are definitely going to have her!
