HCB Chapter 116 was extorted.
Chapter 116 was extorted.
"Oh!"
Yu Yang crashed into the invisible light shield, and immediately cried out in pain, his face contorted in agony.
"Haha," Xia Li couldn't help but laugh out loud upon seeing this, teasingly asking, "Are you sure you can handle this, buddy?"
Yu Yang gritted his teeth and glared at her with eyes blazing with anger.
How can a man be questioned about his abilities?
Xia Li's words were like a fire, instantly igniting his fighting spirit.
I don't believe it!
He took two steps back, his spiritual energy surging around him. He suddenly amplified all his spiritual energy and charged forward with all his might to crash into the light barrier, but was once again mercilessly blocked.
But he was not discouraged at all. He took several steps back and then roared as he charged forward again.
They did this repeatedly, enjoying it immensely.
Finally, Yu Yang exhausted all kinds of magic and used all his magical treasures, but he still could not break the barrier.
He returned to Xia Li's side, looking disheveled and ashamed, and said helplessly:
"Never mind, I can't go in. But I see it's full of treasure, so it should be safe."
"What?! A treasure!!" Ali's eyes lit up instantly, brimming with excitement.
"I've won! I've won! I've won!"
She shot off like an arrow, rushing towards the location of the treasure.
"Be careful..." Yu Yang had only uttered two words when he silently swallowed the rest.
Xia Li entered the place that he had been trying to enter for a long time without any hindrance.
Xia Li stood inside, smiling and teasing:
"Looks like you're not a good person, they won't even let you in."
Yu Yang just smiled indulgently, ignoring her teasing.
In fact, they all guessed the reason—this was something Xue'er left for her mother, so naturally only she could enter.
It must be said that although there are not many items here, each one is priceless, which shows how much wealth Xue'er and the people behind her have accumulated over thousands of years.
Xia Li couldn't help but rub her hands together excitedly and said, "Come see the surprise my precious daughter has prepared for me!"
She looked around and saw nothing but everyday items that her daughter used.
However, the pure gold headdress, dazzling and eye-catching, was even more magnificent, exquisite, and precious than the Empress's phoenix crown.
Ali's eyes lit up: "Sister Zhao will definitely like this!"
Those jade and pearl earrings, besides being expensive, were just old-fashioned and completely unsuitable for her age. They would be more appropriate as a gift for her godmother.
As for the box full of necklaces, although the styles weren't old-fashioned, none of them were her favorites. She'd pick out some suitable ones to give away later.
And that red dress called "Flowing Flames Tracing Fire" is exquisitely beautiful, but unfortunately she doesn't like flamboyant styles, so it's better to give it to someone as confident and outgoing as Luo Luo...
Goodness, in just a short while, she had already arranged a home for all these items.
Then it dawned on her: "Huh? There isn't a single one that I actually like?"
At the same time, Xia Li found a letter on a piece of clothing. Holding it in her hand, it felt heavy, suggesting there was more than just a letter inside. She opened the envelope and emptied its contents, finding only a jade pendant and a thin strip of paper.
She picked up the jade pendant and examined it carefully, turning it over and over. The carvings on the pendant were strange and unusual, yet incredibly exquisite. Then, Xia Li opened the note, which read:
"The Hundred Knowledge Commander commands 100 responses to every call. If there is any trouble, the entire Hundred Knowledge Tower will come forth to wish my mother peace in this life, and that all things go smoothly for the rest of her life, with peace and joy!"
There was no lengthy discourse, only these few short sentences, yet they made Xia Li smile silently, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She didn't know if this was Xue'er's doing or if there was another hidden reason behind it, but she had always planned to build a Hundred Knowledge Tower, so she solemnly wore the Hundred Knowledge Token on her body as a gift.
Besides these, there were also some talismans, magical artifacts, and top-grade spirit stones lying in the corner, seemingly discarded as junk. Ali couldn't help but curse under her breath:
"What a waste!"
On second thought, they realized that since they didn't cultivate, these spirit stones were only good for maintaining the formation and had no other use. To them, they were practically junk.
"Huh? What's that little grayish-brown ball of fluff?" Xia Li stared at the gray figure bobbing up and down in the pile of spirit stones, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. There's actually something alive in there?
"Who? Who's disturbing me?"
A majestic old man's voice suddenly rang out, emanating a strong aura and carrying an endless killing intent.
Xia Li instantly went on guard, but the oppressive aura suddenly disappeared, replaced by a dusty little kitten jumping out of the pile of spirit stones.
The kitten smacked its lips at the spirit stone while saying in a cute, childlike voice:
"Are you here to pick up your little one and take him home?"
That voice was absolutely adorable.
The key point is that it also sounds somewhat similar to Ah Xue's voice.
Xia Li's heart softened immediately, and she asked softly, "Who are you?"
“A little kitten is a little kitten,” the kitten said, giving Xia Li a look of disdain.
Well, it seems I won't get any information out of them.
"Did you take the kitten with you? Let's go quickly, the kitten has been here for a thousand years and is already tired of seeing it." The kitten asked anxiously.
"no!"
Xia Li refused without even thinking.
Although the old man's voice didn't come again, she felt that the old man might be the kitten's elder, and if she took the kitten away, she might be hunted down!
Thinking of this, her gaze towards Zai Zai changed. She felt as if Zai Zai was luring her in, preparing to rob her.
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, the little one suddenly transformed into human form and rushed over at an extremely fast speed, biting Xia Li's calf hard with its tiny teeth.
"..."
Xia Li immediately sensed a new connection in her mind.
Demon Pet Contract?
It's still the strongest demon pet contract, sharing life and death, and having their lifespans split equally.
Looking down at the toddler, who was only about two years old and had pigtails, clinging to her feet, Xia Li kicked him away with a dark expression.
"Wow!"
The demon beast was naturally strong; its cub was perfectly fine after rolling away, but it collapsed to the ground and wailed loudly.
"The White Tiger lives as long as Heaven and Earth, and your cub shares your lifespan. That means you don't need to cultivate; as long as you don't die, you can live for thousands of years. You're not even moved, so why are you hitting your cub? Waaaaah..."
Xia Li's face darkened further. What kind of child cries like that, whimpering?
"You're trying to extort me?!"
You're crying because you were forced to buy or sell?
"It's your good fortune to be chosen by Zai Zai!" Zai Zai said proudly, tears still streaming down her face.
"..."
Xia Li remained silent with a dark expression.
The little one immediately burst into tears again: "I just want to leave here, waah..."
