Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 285: Chapter 285 Minister under the Skirt (7)

Guo Zhen flew into the air and collided with a person falling from the sky, both plummeting to the ground.

Behind them, the gigantic body of the Tianjin Mouse followed, crashing down.

Chuzheng regretfully withdrew her hand and stepped aside.

The Tianjin Mouse was so large that when its body fell, it was like a small mountain collapsing, tearing the ground apart.

Chuzheng’s position was such that she just grazed past the spikes on the Tianjin Mouse’s body. The wind lifted the hem of her skirt, and with her calm and composed demeanor, she looked like a transcendent being from another realm.

However, at that moment, with her face tense, Chuzheng thought: Damn, that scared me to death, I was almost crushed.

The Tianjin Mouse seemed to try turning over, but failed to do so after several attempts.

Chuzheng walked a few steps forward and suddenly saw her reflection.

The eyes of the Tianjin Mouse were red, clear, and bright, like mirrors.

Chuzheng looked at the reflection and thought the original host was quite good-looking.

Chuzheng leaned in for a closer look, a palm-sized face, delicate and beautiful features…

“Squeak—”

The pitiful and angry cry of the Tianjin Mouse startled Chuzheng into taking two steps back.

What the heck!

Just taking a look, what’s with the yelling!

But the Tianjin Mouse wasn’t squealing because of Chuzheng, it was because someone else was doing something to it on the other side.

The Tianjin Mouse was so huge that when it laid down, it was like a slope of a mountain. From where Chuzheng stood, she couldn’t see the people on the other side at all.

“Hurry up and extract its heart, there won’t be another chance once it recovers.”

“This little creature’s fur is too tough, can’t cut through.”

“I’ll do it!”

Voices from the other side reached over.

The Tianjin Mouse was a Holy Beast, with intelligence equal to a normal human, and it could also speak.

It looked at the tiny person in front of it, its fiery red eyes filled with despair and rage.

Chuzheng moved closer and asked, “Do you have anything to trade?”

The Tianjin Mouse blinked.

Chuzheng took out a Fire Crystal: “You can sell me anything, these are all yours.”

The eyes of the Tianjin Mouse immediately brightened at the sight of the Fire Crystals.

The Tianjin Mouse opened its mouth, and a flower wrapped in Xuan Qi was spat out.

Chuzheng: “…”

It, it spat it out from its mouth! Outrageous!!!

The Tianjin Mouse didn’t make a sound but indicated with its eyes: this flower for you, the Fire Crystals for it.

Compared to the flower, Fire Crystals were more useful to it.

Chuzheng handed the Fire Crystals to it, and the Tianjin Mouse swallowed all ten in one gulp.

Chuzheng used a twig to pull the flower closer, prodding it. What is this thing, looks just like a wildflower.

Flower: You’re the wildflower, your whole family is wildflowers!

The flower had five petals and simply bloomed, showing a pale blue color. The patterns on the petals resembled flames, but overall, this flower… looked ordinary.

As Chuzheng pondered, the name Cloudflame Flower automatically popped into her mind.

If consumed as it is, individuals below the rank of Xuan Imperial can directly ascend a level.

If refined into Elixir Pills, the effects would be even greater.

You can’t judge by its appearance.

As Chuzheng was thinking about what to do with the flower, the small mountain beside her began to emanate a magnificent power.

Chuzheng, holding the Cloudflame Flower, hurriedly ran away.

The steel needles covering the Tianjin Mouse’s body softened and turned into golden, soft fur.

Xuan Qi swirled around it, and the people on the other side were all blown away by this energy.

“It’s about to advance!”

“We can’t let it advance!”

“Quick, interrupt it!”

At that moment, Chuzheng’s eyes were filled with the sight of that seemingly soft fur.

It looks so comfy to touch…

Chuzheng rubbed her fingers along her side.

It would’ve been fine if she hadn’t seen it.

But having seen it, she really wanted to touch it.

Hearing this group of people wanted to kill it, Chuzheng picked up the Cloudflame Flower from the ground and threw it at them, “Hey!”

The Cloudflame Flower whistled through the air and the people on the other side mistook it for some kind of hidden weapon, releasing Xuan Qi, which deflected the Cloudflame Flower off course. It hit a nearby tree trunk that hadn’t fallen over and bounced back.

Only then did those people clearly see what it was.

The Cloudflame Flower!

This thing was a rare commodity, though, of course, it wasn’t of particular attraction to them.

Chuzheng also saw the people clearly.

Only those under thirty years old could enter the Secret Realm, but these men didn’t look like they were under thirty at all.

Four men looked at Chuzheng who had thrown the Cloudflame Flower, their faces showing wariness.

“Little girl, mind your own business.”

Chuzheng returned a cold look.

The four men glanced at each other, not having finished exchanging ideas, when one of the men suddenly slid to the ground.

“What’s this!”

The man shouted loudly, his Xuan Qi sweeping toward where his feet were.

However, the Xuan Qi carved a trench in the ground, and whatever was pulling the man remained unharmed; the man slammed into a tree not far away.

His legs split open, hitting right in the middle.

Chuzheng was twirling a silver thread between her fingers and gently pulled it back, wincing at the sight.

“Ah!”

“Crash!”

“Swoosh!”

The remaining three men, in various stances, crashed into the surrounding tree trunks.

They didn’t see what was pulling them, only feeling a chill at their ankles before being yanked into the air.

The only suspect here was Chuzheng!

The men quickly calmed down and launched a coordinated attack.

Chuzheng stood still, calmly watching the Xuan Qi sweeping through the trees.

Just as the Xuan Qi was about to hit, her body soared sharply upward; she paused mid-air, her robes fluttering with the blast of the collision above, whooshing loudly.

The four men looked up incredulously at Chuzheng.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

A Xuan Master could only fly unaided without support once they had reached the level of Xuan Emperor. This young girl looked so young; she was already a Xuan Emperor?

One should know that the combined number of Xuan Emperors in all four nations didn’t exceed twenty.

Of course, appearances are not the standard for judging strength.

“May I ask for the young lady’s name?”

The people below didn’t launch another attack but instead inquired vocally.

“Jun Chuzheng.”

“Jun…” The people below changed their expressions, “Miss, there is no surname Jun in the four nations.”

“Oh, that’s my surname,” Chuzheng said, “Any objections?” Do I have to report my surname to you? Why are you so nosy?

One of the men seemed to want to argue but was stopped by others; his attitude quickly became friendly, “No, with such strength at a young age, the lady must be extraordinary.”

“Miss, our earlier actions were unintentional. However, we do need this Tianjin Mouse, so please be so kind as to accommodate us.”

“I need it too.” It must feel so comfortable to touch its fluffy fur, and it’s so big, I could even roll around on it!!

“What does the lady need the Tianjin Mouse for?” The other party was negotiating. They only needed the heart, so if Chuzheng needed something else, there was no need to escalate things too much.

“…”

Chuzheng was silent for a moment, “That’s none of your business.”

“Lady, we’re all out here in the world, it’s better not to make enemies if we can avoid it, right? We have no real quarrel with you. The Tianjin Mouse, after all, was something we brothers worked together to subdue.”

“I want the whole thing,” Chuzheng added, “Alive.” What’s the use if it’s dead!

“…”

Someone with a short temper threatened, “Little girl, don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.”

Chuzheng’s face was cold, “Have you offered a toast?”

“…”

What toast? Does this young girl have something wrong with her brain!
