Soul Hunter Golden Frost Manor
The massive Jin Xiaoxiao was like a docile sheep, allowing Avril to sit on its back and pet it. From time to time, it would even use its voice to express its goodwill to Avril.
Avril had managed to convince the irascible Jin Xiaoxiao the moment she appeared, which surprised everyone. It was as if Avril had some kind of special ability. Even irascible monsters like Furball and Jin Xiaoxiao could not resist her influence.
"What do you think Avril said to Jin Xiaoxiao that made it so obedient?"
"No idea. Probably because she's the closest to Xia Fei, and Jin Xiaoxiao is Xia Fei's most loyal Demon Chrysalis."
Everyone discussed among themselves, unable to understand why Jin Xiaoxiao would listen to Avril. Though Jin Xiaoxiao stopped making a fuss, it did not return. Instead, it stared blankly at the energy net as if thinking of something.
Jin Xiaoxiao was not as smart as Furball. After thinking for a long time, Jin Xiaoxiao let out another sorrowful whimper as if it had finally figured something out. Only then did it return with Avril.
Avril returned home after persuading Jin Xiaoxiao. Though Xia Fei was not around, this was not the first time Xia Fei had gotten lost. As Xia Fei's girlfriend, Avril was already used to Xia Fei disappearing from time to time.
A few days later, news of Jin Xiaoxiao's massacre in the dark space reached the Law Realm. Though the Darkness Race had been wiped out, they had left behind countless darkness beasts. There was no place for these darkness beasts to live in normal space, so these fellows had chosen to hide in the dark space and reproduce.
Jin Xiaoxiao seemed to hate these former enemies of Xia Fei's, killing day and night in the dark space. From the looks of it, Jin Xiaoxiao would not rest until he had gotten rid of all these fellows in the dark space.
The heroes of the Law Realm believed that Jin Xiaoxiao could not follow his master and were angry, so they vented their anger on the darkness beasts. Thus, they did not pay much attention to Jin Xiaoxiao's actions. In any case, the darkness beasts were something the Law Realm wanted to get rid of, and the more Jin Xiaoxiao killed, the better it would be for the Law Realm.
Just like that, as the number of killings increased, Jin Xiaoxiao became stronger and stronger, to the point where no creature in the dark space could match him!
However, for some reason, as Jin Xiaoxiao continued to advance, his body became thinner day by day.
…
In the luxurious suite, it was time. Xiang Beiyang had personally come to pick Xia Fei up to attend the gathering at Taining Manor.
Xia Fei opened the door and saw that Mr. Xiang had changed into a very stylish robe and had a domineering emerald ring on his finger. Coupled with his big belly that could not be hidden, he looked like a nouveau riche.
Xia Fei furrowed his brows, thinking to himself, 'This isn't a gathering to flaunt your wealth. Besides, anyone who can enter the first class circle of the Red Dwarf Planet won't be any less wealthy than you.'
Though he was thinking this, he did not say it out loud. After all, it was Xiang Beiyang's business how he dressed, and Xia Fei was already doing his best to accompany him.
Lighting a cigarette, Xia Fei casually walked out of the room and locked the door.
Xiang Beiyang was slightly taken aback. He looked Xia Fei up and down and asked, "Are you going to the Tai family dressed like this?"
Xia Fei was still wearing the same sportswear from this morning. He had been busy dealing with the medicinal ingredients after he returned, so he had no time to change his clothes. Moreover, Xia Fei did not care what he wore, for he did not care if it was a gathering or not.
Xia Fei retorted, "What? Is there anything wrong? "
"No, no. I was just casually asking. The car is ready, so let's go," Xiang Beiyang hurriedly said. No matter what, it was more important to bring Xia Fei to the Tai family. If he angered Xia Fei and he decided not to go, that was what Xiang Beiyang was truly afraid of. After all, Xia Fei was someone who could not be moved by anything, and Tang Wannian was someone who could easily slap his face.
There was a brand-new golden hovercar parked in front of the door. Xiang Beiyang had bought it at a high price for the sake of his reputation. The technology of the Alpha Universe was not that far ahead of the Law Realm, so Xia Fei could roughly guess the internal structure of the car with just a few glances.
* Whoosh ~ *
As the car sped away, Xia Fei suddenly opened the window and took a look outside. His keen senses told him that someone was staring at him, but when Xia Fei used his ocular ability to see who it was, that gaze immediately disappeared.
"Brother Xia, what are you looking at?" Xiang Beiyang curiously asked.
"Nothing much. The weather tonight isn't bad," Xia Fei casually said, feeling a little wary.
…
Soon, Xia Fei and Xiang Beiyang left the city along the road. Two heads peeked out of the darkness. One of them was the man with a small mustache whom Xiang Beiyang had hired to capture exotic beasts. His name was Fu Yong, and he was famous in the Hunter's Guild for doing big business. Xiang Beiyang had offered a high price to the Renegade territory, but only a few fearless hunters had signed up, and Fu Yong had been one of them.
There was also a yellow-faced man who looked listless at first glance as if he had not woken up yet. This man was much more famous than Fu Yong. He was one of the few Soul Hunters on the Red Dwarf Planet, and his name was Golden Frost Manor.
Fu Yong was famous because of his guts, daring to get involved in any business, while Golden Frost Manor was famous because he was extremely fond of gambling and had a habit of using hallucinogens, so he had a terrible reputation in the circle.
When Fu Yong saw Furball by Xia Fei's side the other day, he immediately thought of stealing it, but he did not dare to do so because he did not know Xia Fei's background. All he did was secretly observe Xia Fei's every move.
This afternoon, Xia Fei had casually sold a small knife for two million pearls. When Fu Yong heard about this, he felt a wave in his heart. Fu Yong guessed that Xia Fei must be the young master of some wealthy family, or else there was no way he would have so many valuable items on him. If he managed to steal Xia Fei, he would have an endless supply of money even if he did not work for the rest of his life, so it was worth it!
Though Fu Yong was bold, he was not stupid. He thought that it would be best to find someone famous to take the blame for him, so that someone else would be the scapegoat while he took the money and lived a carefree life.
Thus, Fu Yong went to look for Golden Frost Manor, who was famous for being a gambling addict. Golden Frost Manor had always been unlucky, especially when it came to gambling. He lost ten times out of ten, and if not for his reputation as a Soul Hunter, the loan sharks in the casino would have killed him a hundred times over.
However, relying on his reputation to make a living was not a solution. As he accumulated more and more gambling debts, even loan sharks were not willing to lend him money. If he wanted to get some business, his reputation was too bad. People would rather pay a high price to hire a soul hunter with a good reputation than go to the Golden Frost Manor. The Golden Frost Manor was a pioneer in this circle of soul hunters, yet a dignified soul hunter had fallen into such dire straits.
When Fu Yong came looking for him and said that he had a big business, Golden Frost Manor naturally agreed without hesitation. Little did he know that Fu Yong actually wanted to use Golden Frost Manor's reputation as a Soul Hunter to split the money. Even if people wanted to pursue the matter, they would look for Golden Frost Manor first and not him. After all, Golden Frost Manor was a Soul Hunter. As the saying went, a tall tree attracted the wind.
"Are you talking about this young man?" Golden Frost Manor laughed and asked.
"That's right. That's him. This afternoon, he casually took out a dagger from his spatial ring and sold it for two million pearls. If we can rob him of everything he has, it'll be hard for us not to make a fortune." Fu Yong nodded.
Golden Frost Manor furrowed his brows and said, "I took a look just now. There is indeed no energy fluctuation on Xia Feis body. He should be a commoner, but I'm afraid his family is not simple. Killing him is easy, but we'll offend some people."
Fu Yong laughed and said, "The person you're most afraid of offending right now is Mai Tong, right? I heard that if you don't return the money in seven days, Mai Tong will cripple your cultivation. "
Golden Frost Manor's face turned pale, and he did not say anything else.
Mai Tong was also one of the big businessmen on Red Dwarf Planet. He was an existence on the same level as Tang Wannian. He ran the casino business on Red Dwarf Planet, as well as many other businesses that could and could not be seen in the light.
Everyone knew that Golden Frost Manor owed Mai Tong money. As a businessman, Mai Tong did not want to fall out with Golden Frost Manor. After all, no matter how shameless Golden Frost Manor was, they were still a Soul Hunter, and no one would want to go against a Soul Hunter.
However, a few days ago, Golden Frost Manor got drunk and spread the news at the dinner table, saying that Mai Tong was afraid of him and treated him like a grandson, not daring to ask him to return the money.
These words soon reached Mai Tong's ears, and the old man was naturally furious. He was so angry that he almost fainted. He did not want to argue with Golden Frost Manor out of kindness, but it turned out to be a display of his incompetence. How could Old Man Mai endure this?
They were all famous people on Red Dwarf Planet. If Old Man Mai still did not make a move, he would probably become the laughingstock of the entire planet. Hence, Old Man Mai directly gave Golden Frost Manor an ultimatum: return the money in seven days, or else he would cripple them.
Only then did Golden Frost Manor realize the severity of the situation. Of all the things they should not have done, they should not have reaped the benefits from Mai Tong and even slapped him in the face. This time, things had gotten out of hand. Old Man Mai was determined to kill Golden Frost Manor.
Even if Golden Frost Manor was a Soul Hunter, they were a fallen Soul Hunter. Meanwhile, Mai Tong was like the sun in the sky, and he could buy anything with money. Now, Mai Tong had already arranged to meet with three Soul Hunters to collect the debt from Golden Frost Manor in seven days.
Golden Frost Manor admitted that they could not win against Mai Tong, so they agreed to Fu Yong's request to kill Mai Tong to solve their urgent problem.
When Fu Yong mentioned Mai Tong's name, Golden Frost Manor immediately lost their temper. They gritted their teeth and said, "Fine. Since we're going to die anyway, let's just do it this time."
Fu Yong was all smiles as he said, "Master Jin is indeed an understanding man. Xia Fei is alone and has no friends. As long as we do it cleanly, who will know that we're the ones who did it? As for Xiang Beiyang, there's even less to worry about. He's only made it a few years ago, so his foundation isn't solid. His four wives are fighting fiercely.
"If Xiang Beiyang dies, the Xiang family will surely be in chaos. They'll be busy fighting for the family's assets. Who will think of avenging Xiang Beiyang? Today is a good chance for them to go to the Tai family. The Tai family lives outside the city, in the wilderness. The moment they return will be the moment they die! The timing, location, and people are all on our side. "
Fu Yong and Golden Frost Manor immediately came up with a plan to make their move when Xia Fei and Xiang Beiyang were on their way back to the city. The two of them hid in the woods beside the road, while a few of Fu Yong's trustworthy hunters took up the task of tailing Xia Fei.
At the same time, the gathering at Tai Ning's manor gradually became lively.
