Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Encountering Hooligans in White Tiger City

”Tang Li, you?” Chu Linfeng didn’t know how to question her, the sudden change left him somewhat bewildered.

”Hehe, did I scare you?” Tang Li’s face flushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed after being exposed by Ling’er.

”No... not at all!” Chu Linfeng said against his conscience. Of course, he was scared!

”Let’s not dwell on this. I usually like to dress like a boy, so I’m often quite bold. Don’t laugh at me!”

”I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t!”

At this moment, Lin Ruoxi looked at Tang Li as if she were a monster, ”Why are you covering your face? Are you trying to hide another side of yourself too?”

”No, that’s not it. I’ll tell you when there’s a chance later, but for now, could you explain what this so-called hunt for Magical Beasts is all about?”

After thinking for a moment, Chu Linfeng said, ”About a hundred miles west of the Celestial Martial Academy, there’s a mountain range called the White Tiger Mountain Range.

It’s said that the Ancient Holy Beast White Tiger once appeared in that range, which is why it’s called the White Tiger Mountain Range. The city is also named White Tiger City because of this.

The White Tiger Mountain Range is filled with Low Tier Magical Beasts, with the highest being Tier Five Magical Beasts, equivalent to the human Earth Martial Realm in strength.

Generally, there are Tier One to Tier Four Magical Beasts, and many beasts that can’t even be considered Magical Beasts. The difference between beasts and Magical Beasts is that some Magical Beasts have a Demon Crystal inside them, whereas beasts do not.”

”Oh, that sounds quite dangerous. If we enter the White Tiger Mountain Range together in the future, you have to protect me, okay? Look at how pitiful I am as a weak girl!” Tang Li laughed.

Chu Linfeng didn’t know how to respond for a moment, feeling utterly speechless inside.

You want me to protect you? You even dare to kill tigers, your strength is definitely not weak; otherwise, how could you come to the Celestial Dragon Academy? It’s already good enough if you don’t have to protect me!

Lin Ruoxi immediately said upon seeing Chu Linfeng’s expression, ”If you’re in danger, we won’t hesitate to help!”

The bustling streets of White Tiger City naturally surpassed those of Liuyun City. Everywhere on the streets were vendors selling their goods, with shouts and the hustle and bustle of people constantly heard.

Seeing these vendors selling their goods on the ground reminded Chu Linfeng of the old man who gave him a Magic Beast Egg.

Ever since he saw that Magic Beast Egg, he had tossed it in his Storage Belt and never cared about it again; he didn’t even know what it might have become or if it had any potential to hatch.

At this moment, Tang Li stopped at the stall of a middle-aged man in grey clothing.

In front of the middle-aged man’s stall were two items, two Low Tier Demon Crystals, one red and the other grey.

Seeing Tang Li stop at the man’s stall, Chu Linfeng went up and asked, ”Are you planning to buy these Demon Crystals?”

”I think they’re really pretty, these are Demon Crystals, right?”

Chu Linfeng and Lin Ruoxi nearly spat blood. Big sister, please stop acting so cute, there’s no one else around, no need to pretend you know nothing, or else they’ll end up vomiting last night’s dinner.

”How much are these two Demon Crystals?” Chu Linfeng asked the middle-aged man selling them.

Being with Tang Li would sooner or later leave him exasperated. He never expected someone could disguise their true self even more than he could. Are all women like this?

”Brother, if you buy the red Demon Crystal, it’ll be ten Spirit Stones; for the grey one, it’ll be five Spirit Stones. If you buy both together, I’ll give you a discount, twelve Spirit Stones in total,” the middle-aged man responded.

”Why are these two Demon Crystals priced differently? Can you explain?” Tang Li asked curiously.

”Everyone knows that red represents the Fire Attribute, while grey represents the Earth Attribute. One is for attack, the other for defense, naturally the attack one is more expensive.”

The middle-aged man looked at Tang Li with a puzzled expression, wondering what was wrong with this person pretending not to know something even a three-year-old would know.

If Tang Li knew what he was thinking, with her temper like a mother tyrannosaurus, she might have beaten him up on the spot.

”Twelve Spirit Stones? Then I’ll take them.” Chu Linfeng took out twelve Lower Grade Spirit Stones and handed them to the middle-aged man.

”Ruoxi, if you fancy something, I’ll buy it for you!” Chu Linfeng didn’t want Lin Ruoxi to get upset.

Lin Ruoxi understood Chu Linfeng’s intentions well, ”I haven’t seen anything I want yet; I’ll tell you when I do!”

”Hey, big brother, there’s also Demon Crystals here; should I buy them for you?”

Suddenly a voice reached Chu Linfeng’s ear, but Chu Linfeng ignored it, handing the Demon Crystals to Tang Li, ”Here are the things you wanted!”

”Who asked you to buy them? We have Spirit Stones ourselves. Unprovoked attentiveness either means you’re a thief or a scoundrel,” Zhu Xiaoling, who was next to Tang Li, said.

In her eyes, Chu Linfeng seemed to be trying to curry favor with her mistress, spending money like he has plenty but really doesn’t.

”Xiaoling, what are you saying! I haven’t even settled with you yet, are you itching for a beating, or do you want me to stretch your muscles?”

Tang Li felt her servant had gone too far and was about to apologize to Chu Linfeng when she noticed his dumbfounded expression and realized she’d slipped up again.

Again, the earlier voice came, ”Hey, kid, hand over those Demon Crystals quietly, and maybe today you can leave White Tiger City safely. Otherwise, you’ll suffer the consequences.”

Chu Linfeng and the others turned to see who was speaking. It was a young man around sixteen or seventeen, not bad-looking but with eyes like a rat’s; there was no way he was a good person.

”Who are you trying to scare? We already bought these Demon Crystals; why should I hand them over to you? Who do you think you are? Don’t push me, or you’ll be the one facing the consequences!”

Chu Linfeng harbored a deep resentment for people like this, just like Liu Mang from Liuyun City, who relied on his family’s power to cause trouble everywhere. If it weren’t for Chu Yuanba advising him to endure, he would have fought back long ago.

”You’re pretending to be tough, but I’ll make you regret not giving in. Do you even know where you are? You’re on our turf now, you’re finished.”

”Why should we give them to you? My lady already bought these Demon Crystals, just because you have money doesn’t mean you can bully us out-of-towners!”

Zhu Xiaoling appeared unfazed by anything, finding this person even more annoying than Chu Linfeng.

Another young man who was with the first one spoke up, ”This is White Tiger City; if you’re here, you should know the rules. Don’t make foolish decisions.”

”Rules? What rules?” Chu Linfeng asked.

”When you see us, you have to pay a protection fee, otherwise you’ll find it difficult to move even an inch in White Tiger City.”

”Today, I want to see if I really won’t be able to make a move without paying a protection fee!” Chu Linfeng laughed. This guy didn’t just want Demon Crystals, he wanted to collect a protection fee.

”Lin Feng, there’s no need to be polite to people like this, why not just kill them?” Lin Ruoxi was a bit fed up by now.

The young man’s gaze shifted to Lin Ruoxi, then to Tang Li, noticing both girls were veiled.

However, intuitively, Lin Ruoxi gave him the impression of a beauty, a rare beauty indeed.

The young man smirked evilly, ”May I ask the name of the veiled young lady?”
