Chapter 316 - Do You Dare to Refuse Me

“What should we do then?” Lin Xuan asked.

“You need an item imbued with yin softness to protect your body, only then will you have a chance to subdue the Great Dragon Sword.

Otherwise, even if you find it, you cannot obtain it!”

“Yin softness item, what is that?”

“The Yin Jade Heart, an Eighth-Order Water Attribute Demon Beast’s Demon Crystal, the White Dragon Ascending Pill, Top-quality Crystal Stones; any of these would suffice,” Lord of Wine said.

Lin Xuan felt overwhelmed, having never heard of these items before, but the mention of the Eighth-Order Demon Beast’s Demon Crystal had particularly startled him.

That was equivalent to a beast as powerful as a Body Integration Realm Martial Artist!

This, no doubt, indicated the rarity of the other items.

“Besides, True Dragon Qi not only allows you to sense the Great Dragon Sword’s location but also enhances the closeness between you and the sword.

It’s an indispensable item as well.”

“These two are the most basic requirements.

If you can’t acquire them, then don’t even consider the matter of the Great Dragon Sword!”

“Alright, once we’ve arrived in Heavenly Mountain Country, I’ll inquire about the whereabouts of these items,” Lin Xuan took a deep breath.

As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not give up.

Wu ji wu ji

The Snow White Monkey peeked out and hopped onto Lin Xuan’s shoulder, curiously surveying the surroundings.

“What a cute little monkey!”

Many Martial Artists took notice of it, expressing their admiration.

Swoosh!

The Snow White Monkey turned into a streak of white light and vanished.

“Dammit, don’t run off like that!” Lin Xuan called out in a low voice, fearing the Snow White Monkey might stir up trouble.

When he saw that the Snow White Monkey was only jumping and showing off on the nearby Martial Artists, he felt much more at ease.

“Will you sell this monkey?

I’ll pay three hundred Spirit Stones!”

“I’ll pay five hundred!” My junior sister will certainly like it.

Several people inquired about the price from Lin Xuan, who emphatically declined.

Eventually, he couldn’t take it anymore and simply closed his eyes to rest.

After half a day, a piercing scream suddenly rang out from the ship.

The voice was extremely sharp, as if it could pierce through the void, bringing with it an overwhelming pressure that could capture one’s soul.

Accompanying the terrifying sound, a sky-high wave of heat washed over them.

“Isn’t that the Sixth-Rank Vermilion Bird?

What’s making it scream so miserably?”

“I don’t know, did someone offend it without realizing?” The crowd was speculating anxiously.

Lin Xuan also awoke from his meditation, inexplicably sensing a bad premonition.

Swoosh!

A white flash appeared, and the Snow White Monkey surfaced in front of him, its large eyes spinning nonstop, eventually patting its chest with a paw in an after-frightened gesture.

Phew, the little fellow heaved a sigh of relief.

“Wait, what is this?” Lin Xuan furrowed his brows.

In the Snow White Monkey’s hands, it held two feathers the size of palm leaves, red as fresh blood and crystal clear.

Even from a distance, one could feel the staggering heat emanating from them.

“Why does it look so familiar?” Lin Xuan wondered, “Where did you get this from?”

Wu ji wu ji

The Snow White Monkey started gesturing and eventually put on an aggrieved expression.

Lin Xuan’s face was marked by straight-black lines, as he realized that the feathers were actually from that Sixth-Rank Demon Beast, the Vermilion Bird.

No wonder its screams were so heart-wrenching.

“You little rascal, get inside quickly.” Lin Xuan picked up the Snow White Monkey, intending to throw it into the Demon Beast Bag.

“Stop right there!”

A woman’s fierce shout, like a terrifying Fire Sword, cut through the void.

The Red-clothed girl stood with her hands on her hips in the distance, her ample chest heaving with anger, drawing many gazes.

“You, how dare you hurt my Little Red!” the Red-clothed girl said through gritted teeth.

“Little Red?

What Little Red?” Lin Xuan feigned ignorance while quickly pressing down on the Snow White Monkey.

Everyone quickly looked this way, many with a look of schadenfreude on their faces.

Cheep!

Cheep!

The Vermilion Bird flapped its wings viciously as it stared at the Snow White Monkey.

Ook ook!

The Snow White Monkey jumped up, waving the red feather in its hand while making all sorts of ghostly faces.

“You damn monkey, what are you stirring up!” Lin Xuan glared at it fiercely, “Even if you have to catch it, you shouldn’t catch the feathers on its head!”

The Snow White Monkey looked at Lin Xuan with dissatisfaction, inserted the feather on its head, and then shook its head as it began to explain.

It meant that it had retaliated only because the other party had tried to catch it.

“Argh!

You’re driving me mad!” The Red-clothed girl went crazy; this man and monkey were too infuriating.

“Kid, hurry over here and kowtow, then hand over that monkey, or else wait for your death!”

“I’ll count to three, if you don’t come over now, I’ll throw you down!”

The two elders beside the Red-clothed girl showed a ruthless look as they simultaneously released the formidable aura of the Spirit Merging Realm.

“This kid is really dead this time!

This girl is no mere disciple of the Li Family!”

“Without going into details, just the two from the Spirit Merging Realm are enough to kill him thousands of times over.”

A group of Martial Artists stayed far away, afraid to be associated with Lin Xuan.

“Gentlemen, can’t we speak nicely?

It’s not too good to threaten people’s lives at every turn,” Lin Xuan said, not wanting to provoke more troubles.

“I was at fault here, I didn’t watch it closely, and for this, I offer my deepest apologies.” He presented himself as someone who understood the gravity of the situation.

After speaking, he even knocked on the Snow White Monkey’s head.

“That’s it?

I said to kneel down and apologize!”

“Also, hand over that monkey.” The two old men’s faces grew even darker.

In their eyes, Lin Xuan’s actions just now were not considered an apology.

Apologizing to them surely required kowtowing hundreds of times!

“Aren’t the two of you going a bit too far!” Lin Xuan’s expression turned grave.

He didn’t want trouble, but he wasn’t afraid of it either; he had noticed a glint of greed in their eyes.

Clearly, their target was the Snow White Monkey.

“You, hand over the monkey, and I’ll spare your life!” the Red-clothed girl said coldly.

“Sorry, can’t do that!” Lin Xuan shrugged.

The Snow White Monkey sat on his shoulder, nodding vigorously, and rubbed its fluffy head against his face.

“You, you dare to refuse me?” The Red-clothed girl was angered, “Do you know who I am?”

“Not interested!” Lin Xuan snorted.

The faces of the surrounding Martial Artists showed surprise; they had thought Lin Xuan would obediently kowtow and admit his mistake, but this was the outcome.

“Kid, where are you from?

State your name, so we don’t bring disaster upon the innocent!” The short old man said suspiciously.

The one who dared to speak to them like this was either backed by a powerful background or a fool who thought too highly of his life.

The short old man needed to clarify this before making a move.

“So there are people you’re afraid of?” Lin Xuan scoffed, “Don’t bother asking, I’m unrelated to you.”

“If that’s the case, then you’re courting death!” The tall, thin elder stepped forward, his aura like that of a ferocious beast ready to tear someone apart.

“Stop!

Esteemed ones, please halt!” the captain Martial Artist ran over with a distressed look.

“You dare tell me to stop; are you seeking death!” The tall, thin elder grabbed him.

“No, no!

This ship is fragile; it cannot withstand your attacks.

If it’s damaged, we’ll all sink to the bottom of the river.”

“Fine, I’ll listen to you this time!” The tall, thin elder threw down the captain, his icy gaze returning to Lin Xuan.

“I’ll let you live a few more days, but once we reach the shore, your death is certain!”

The Red-clothed girl looked deeply at the Snow White Monkey, then turned around and left with a cold huff.

The captain Martial Artist got up, cursing under his breath, and quickly left as well.

In the following days, everyone stayed far away from Lin Xuan, not wanting to be remembered by the Red-clothed girl and her companions.

In their eyes, Lin Xuan was already a dead man.
