Bai Ze Chuan Chuan followed the direction Ming Zhi Tian pointed, then shook his head. Ming Zhi Tian smiled slightly, "Alright, from now on, you'll be with me. I haven't named you yet. I'll call you Divine Beast Bai Ze."
"!"
A subordinate from the Mounts Workshop said, "What does he mean? He rejected it in front of Miss Qiang Luo and the shopkeeper, renamed it, and claimed it for himself?"
Bai Ze Chuan Chuan, legitimately purchased by Ming Zhi Tian from the Mounts Workshop, was described by them as stolen and claimed.
Bai Ze Chuan Chuan nodded and nuzzled Ming Zhi Tian with its mouth, indicating satisfaction with the name. From now on, it would be called Divine Beast Bai Ze.
Wu Li Qiang Luo took out twenty million Divine Martial Coins. "Here are twenty million, enough to exceed your purchase price."
Ming Zhi Tian regarded money as dirt. "I'm not short of money."
Wu Li Qiang Luo was annoyed, not by his refusal, but by his implied desire for more.
Ultimately, she had overthought it. Ming Zhi Tian truly wasn't short of money; the money in his pocket could buy half the empire.
Wu Li Qiang Luo lost her patience. "What do you want? Don't be too greedy."
Ming Zhi Tian shrugged. "I said I'm not selling. Do you intend to use force?"
Wu Li Qiang Luo completely lost her patience. Her divine eyes turned cold. "Since I was young, everything I, Wu Li Qiang Luo, have wanted, I have obtained. Uncle Zhen, make your move!"
Wu Li Zhen threw his staff into the air. A golden light stunned Bai Liu Li and Fan Wu Qi. He himself unleashed a palm strike, and Ming Zhi Tian, unable to resist, fell to the ground, spitting blood. Wu Li Zhen then seized Divine Beast Bai Ze.
"Bai Ze!" Ming Zhi Tian stood up, enduring the pain.
Wu Li Qiang Luo stroked the reluctant Bai Ze Chuan Chuan and looked at Ming Zhi Tian with a playful gaze, satisfied. "To this day, haven't you recognized your position? If you weren't from the Suo Hai Wu Pavilion in the North Sea, you would be dead by now."
"Uncle Zhen, let's go."
"Wait!" Ming Zhi Tian blocked them. "Give Bai Ze back to me."
"Noisy," Wu Li Qiang Luo said impatiently.
Wu Li Zhen understood. He put away his staff and delivered a swift kick. The movement was too fast, and Ming Zhi Tian couldn't react in time, being sent flying and crashing into several stalls.
As they were about to leave, they found Ming Zhi Tian like a stubborn stain, blocking their path again.
Wu Li Qiang Luo had completely lost her patience. "Take him away."
Ming Zhi Tian frowned. Wu Li Zhen clasped his palms together, and the staff formed a golden net that instantly captured Ming Zhi Tian.
"Zhi Tian!"
"Young Master!..."
Ming Zhi Tian was taken away like this, leaving Bai Liu Li and Fan Wu Qi bewildered.
Seeing the spectacle conclude, the crowd began to chatter and gradually dispersed.
The shopkeeper, fearing trouble, had also long since fled with his subordinates.
Ming Zhi Tian was taken to...
Duo Rang Pavilion—
Guards cuffed and shackled Ming Zhi Tian, threw him into the dungeon, and slammed the door shut. It was pitch dark.
This was his first time in jail. Time seemed to pass day by day, but felt like years.
Yet, outside, only a few minutes had passed. This torment was beyond the endurance of ordinary people.
Wu Li Qiang Luo was eager to tame Bai Ze Chuan Chuan. Her lifelong obsession was to obtain what she couldn't get, and to make the disobedient completely subservient.
Shortly after, a young man in dark purple attire, swaggering with a few subordinates, walked in from outside.
"Any new goods today? Don't get bored after a few tries, that's boring."
"Reporting, Young Master Hui, it seems there's no one in the dungeon."
"No one? Then what will I play with today? Play, your mother?"
The subordinates immediately dared not speak, lowered their heads, and retreated to the side.
The young man gestured. "What are you waiting for? Open it."
The subordinates dared not delay, fetched the dungeon key, and unlocked the cell.
"Creak..."
The cold iron door slowly opened. A subordinate said fawningly, "Young Master Hui, please."
The young man, arrogant and overbearing, walked with a swagger into the dungeon.
Upon entering the dungeon and seeing that it was empty, the young man felt displeased. But when he saw the only person, Ming Zhi Tian, he smiled.
"Come here."
The young man didn't even glance at him, beckoning with a finger. The subordinates immediately started sweating, their backs already drenched.
"Hui... Young Master Hui."
