CapĂtulo 1488: Chapter 1574: Bounty HuntersâI say, arenât you guys being too timid? Iâm about to fall asleep!â
Su Xuan said with a yawn, and just after he finished speaking, the sound of weapons being drawn rang out as everyone readied themselves for battle.
As Su Xuan had predicted, these people were intimidated by the sight of those foreigners, especially Yuan Lang. After Yuan Lang was killed, his body had mostly returned to its original state, making his condition look extremely miserable.
Not only had he lost an arm, but his body was nearly sliced in half, which was unbelievably shocking.
Seeing those sights, these people were scared senseless, but it was just as the saying goes, âPeople die for riches as birds die for food.â Su Xuan having obtained the Holy Origin Pill for eighty million made many people jealous, and they all wanted a share.
Indeed, once it was clear who possessed this treasure, many started offering to buy it, with bids ranging from two billion to four billion. For many, this amount of money was immensely tempting.
As the saying goes, âFortune lies in risk.â If something were easy to obtain, it wouldnât be worth such a price.
So now Su Xuan was like a coveted prize. Even knowing Su Xuan was dangerous, they chose to go after the Holy Origin Pill, as obtaining it meant unimaginable wealth.
Two groups had just chased in â one claiming to be Bounty Hunters, and the other, Fengxi Pavilion.
These people were mostly from the Martial World, or from prominent families. The Bounty Hunters were a well-known group; they werenât large in numbers and called themselves hunters, ready to hunt for their employer if the price was right.
So this group mainly did work for others, earning commissions, while what Fengxi Pavilion did, Su Xuan was unsure.
âKid, why arenât you running? Keep running if you dare!â
A woman, dressed as a young girl but clearly in her forties, said viciously upon seeing Su Xuan. The marks of age on her face were plain ugly.
This woman was Lin Xinru, previously called the female Zhuge. It seemed she was from Fengxi Pavilion.
To say Lin Xinru was dramatic was an understatement. At over forty years old, she still tried to act young but failed miserably, giving off a discordant vibe and appearing rather revolting.
âI say, old lady, you should learn from that girl next to you. Look at her â youthful, with collagen on her face. And you, at your age, trying to act young is revolting. Youâre making me want to throw up what I had for breakfast!â
Su Xuan said, pointing at a woman among the Bounty Hunters. She wore a black leather jacket on top, jeans on the bottom, and black military boots. Her outfit was more androgynous, yet her youth made her look distinct and attractive. In contrast, Lin Xinru, clearly an old lady, dressed as if she were a young girl, with sagging facial flesh, looked truly disgusting.
âYouâŚâ
Lin Xinru was so furious she was gritting her teeth, glaring as if her eyes were about to pop out, craving to bite Su Xuan to death.
âLook at those wrinkles⌠so disgusting. If you dressed less immaturely, you could be described as having retained grace over time. But dressing like a young girl, thatâs not just pretending to be young â itâs downright nauseating!â
Su Xuan smacked his lips, looking like he was about to vomit.
âPfft!â
The woman among the Bounty Hunters couldnât help but burst out laughing, and the others also felt like laughing, using it to ease the awkwardness.
âWhat are you laughing at? You think youâre pretty!â
As expected, Lin Xinru felt repulsed by women more attractive than her, glaring angrily, full of hostility.
âWho are you calling Mad Dog?â
The woman wasnât one to be messed with either, finding Lin Xinruâs look terribly off-putting. Though the sight was indeed off-putting, she was no spring chicken yet desperately dressed as if she were very young, which was truly revolting.
âWho are you calling Mad Dog, you little b*tch? Iâll kill you!â Lin Xinru was about to attack, but another man stopped her.
âStop, Xinru, donât be reckless. Weâre here on business; we can deal with petty issues after getting the Holy Origin Pill. This kid is treacherous; donât be fooled into infighting â thatâs what he wants!â
The manâs words curbed the turmoil. Su Xuanâs intent had been to sow discord because he sensed that this time, the two groups were united.
Bounty Hunters and Fengxi Pavilion had formed an alliance, unlike before when factions fought separately, allowing Su Xuan to make them fight each other.
This time, they seemed to have reached some agreement, possibly a fifty-fifty share.
Of course, in Su Xuanâs eyes, such a surface-level cooperation still had gaps to exploit; grabbing the chance, he could create discord.
As for Lin Xinru, Su Xuan didnât have much of an impression, but she had been at the auction, and Su Xuan recalled her for wanting to look young and liking young men.
At over forty, she preferred young guys in their twenties, and she had a tendency to suppress women prettier than herself, evidenced by the unattractive appearances of the girls around her, making one want to bleed.
Her appearance wasnât any better. Su Xuan, with his keen observation, quickly assessed this womanâs character. Calling Lin Xinru smart was generous; she was more of a manipulative schemer, having been the most clear-headed during her first siege against him.
So, to disrupt her clarity, he needed to hit her sore spot.
And her sore spot was timeâs cruelty. As Su Xuan put it, âYouâre almost a grandmother, so if youâre going to act young, at least do it properly. This is truly revolting.â
