Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 981: Chapter 981: Prehistoric Overlord (9)

”Which rascal!”

A sharp shout echoed from the courtyard.

Then a woman dressed in fiery red appeared in the courtyard.

The fiery red clothes she wore were made from the fur of some animal, resembling modern fur clothing, and it looked utterly soft.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Damn!

Hold it in!

Hong Jiu squinted, eyeing Chuzheng, then laughed after a moment, ”A Phoenix? Rare guest.”

Hong Jiu’s attire wasn’t much different from the other beasts outside, just that her fiery red beast fur added a touch of allure and charm to her.

Chuzheng: ”...”

All the bosses in the world know me, yet I don’t know them.

”I heard you can heal.” Chuzheng restrained her urge to touch the fur and maintained a serious tone.

”I can’t.” Hong Jiu leaned bonelessly against the frame in the courtyard, her snow-white long legs crossed, long and straight, with red soft fur brushing over her thighs, tempting.

Chuzheng’s foot landed on the fallen door plank, and it shattered upon impact.

”Help me heal someone.” Maybe not exactly ’someone’?

”I said, I can’t.” Hong Jiu smiled, but there was no trace of humor in her eyes.

Chuzheng prepared to take action.

Nothing that can’t be solved with fists.

If she wins, she can even pet the fur!

[Main Mission: Please spend three Three-leaf Immortal Vines within half an hour.] Why solve things physically when spending a little can do the trick? Can’t we be a little more civilized?

Chuzheng: ”...”

Chuzheng took a deep breath.

Hong Jiu was already on high alert by now, ”Considering you’re a Divine Beast, I’ll overlook the matter of you kicking my door, but now please leave.”

Chuzheng’s wing shifted slightly.

Hong Jiu was ready for a fight.

Crimson wings swung over, suddenly spreading wide.

Three juicy Three-leaf Immortal Vines lay on the wings.

Hong Jiu: ”...”

Almost thought there was going to be a fight.

Hong Jiu stared at the Three-leaf Immortal Vines, seemingly tempted, and after pondering for a moment, she took them, ”Come in first, and fix the door for me.”

Chuzheng instructed Tun Xiang to bring the person in and fix the door by the way.

Tun Xiang: ”...”

-

About fifteen minutes later.

Chuzheng was kicked out of the door, along with the Three-leaf Immortal Vines thrown out by Hong Jiu.

”You didn’t tell me you wanted to save this wretched creature, I can’t save him, even if I could!! Now get lost!”

Hong Jiu slammed the door shut.

Tun Xiang held Tu Yan, at a loss.

Chuzheng kicked the door again.

Tun Xiang listened to the crackling sounds coming from inside, trembling all over.

The battle between great beings is truly brutal.

Soon, Tun Xiang was back inside.

Hong Jiu sat inside on a stone chair, with a solemn expression and seemingly unscathed.

Chuzheng stood in the center, cool and composed.

Hong Jiu tapped her fingers on the stone chair, ”Tu Yan has killed many beasts, he is a menace, yet you want to save him!”

Chuzheng replied indifferently, ”That’s my business.”

The Good Person Card is the public enemy of the Prehistoric Era; what can she do, she’s quite hopeless too!

”Heh.”

Hong Jiu sneered, the allure in her brow vanished, leaving only a coldness.

This Phoenix obviously hadn’t matured, yet possesses such power, she had underestimated her.

”By saving him, you’re implying you’ll go against the entire Prehistoric Era in the future.”

Chuzheng looked at her, ”What’s the difference?”

”...”

Hong Jiu recalled her current situation.

Seems like... there really isn’t much difference.

On the contrary, if she follows Tu Yan, her troubles might actually lessen a lot.

Ordinary beasts wouldn’t dare provoke Tu Yan...

She admitted her lack of skill.

Hong Jiu had Tun Xiang set the person down and went forward to examine.

Hong Jiu frowned, seeming uncertain about Tu Yan’s state.

”His injuries are not severe.” The injuries on his body are ordinary and have been treated, they’re healing.

”Then why doesn’t he wake up?”

”I need time,” Hong Jiu frowned.

-

Chuzheng sat in the courtyard watching Tun Xiang fix the door.

Tun Xiang worked, sweating profusely, turning only to meet Chuzheng’s icy gaze, feeling immensely responsible, and continued to work harder.

Hong Jiu didn’t emerge until evening.

Her alluring and charming face appeared a bit inscrutable.

Chuzheng stood up, ”What’s the result?”

”The beast soul is unstable,” Hong Jiu said with a smile in her tone, ”He’s been cursed, which I can’t undo.” The tone was distinctly gloating.

Cursed?

Could it be Yuan Ning?

Chuzheng didn’t care about Hong Jiu’s tone, ”How can it be undone?”

Hong Jiu clicked her tongue, beginning to set conditions, ”I can tell you, but three Three-leaf Immortal Vines aren’t enough.”

Chuzheng scanned her, asking nonchalantly, ”What else do you want?”

Hong Jiu’s red lips curled slightly, her fingertip pointed into the void, ”Your feathers.”

”... You actually want to pluck my feathers!”

”What if I refuse?”

Hong Jiu shrugged, ”Suit yourself. But I must remind you, his condition is dire, if you can’t swiftly find a way to alleviate it, the consequences...”

After all, she’s not in a hurry, so Hong Jiu wasn’t afraid at all.

Chuzheng could continue to beat Hong Jiu up.

But is what she says true or false?

She couldn’t risk the Good Person Card.

Chuzheng exhaled a breath.

Good Person Card, Good Person Card.

-

In the lush jungle, the air was humid, with a scent of rot.

The arm-thick vines wound around the towering trees, crisscrossed on the ground.

Chuzheng tread on these vines forward.

Suddenly, something softened under her feet.

She looked down and saw something similar to nearby vines, but what she stepped on was soft, and also...

It moved!

A head lifted beside her, a giant snakehead darting at her.

A snake!

Damn!

Why the hell are you sleeping on the road! Is this a sting operation!!

”Ah!”

Tun Xiang’s scream sounded from behind.

Chuzheng dodged the snakehead attacking her, turned to see Tun Xiang falling on the ground, while Tu Yan was dragged by the serpent’s tail to the side.

Chuzheng turned and headed that way.

The giant snake seemed to sense her intention, its scales standing upright, shooting out like projectiles from its body.

”...”

You’re frigging throwing projectiles too!!

Silver light suddenly glowed in the air, weaving into a net, with the snake scales all hitting the silver light, the next second rebounding back.

Whoosh whoosh—

Faster than when the giant snake launched them.

Intertwined with the silver light.

The light shone particularly brightly in the dim forest.

Tu Yan regained consciousness to see that Phoenix standing amid the silver light, gazing indifferently at the fallen giant snake, with a gallant posture, exuding a kingly presence that commands respect from all.

The snake tail binding him loosened, and Tu Yan crashed onto the ground.

His vision blurred again.

”Where’s Tu Yan?”

He heard her voice.

Cold and calm, without a trace of fluctuation.

”I... I’ll look.” This voice trembled.

Rustling...

Someone approached.

”Great King, over here.”

”Bring him here.”

”Y... yes.”

The ethereal voice drifted away, and Tu Yan’s consciousness sank into darkness once more.
