”What does a child know? Hand it over if you know what's good for you.” The man said with a frightened expression.

Shui Qiannan's good mood was interrupted. She could tell that Xiao He really did like this spirit beast, and she didn't mind if he adopted her. However, the spirit beasts were still too young, so they couldn't tell what kind they were or what grade they were.

Shui Qiannan impatiently said, ”Isn't it just a spirit beast that will bite you to death? Why are you barking?”

”Miss, what you said isn't right. What do you mean you can't kill me? Do you know how much my spirit beast is worth?” The man said fiercely.

”How much is it? I'll pay.” A gentle voice came from behind Shui Qiannan. Shui Qiannan could tell who it was just from the voice alone, the Marquis of Xia, Qingyu. Shui Qiannan indifferently replied, ”There's no need to trouble King Xia.”

”There's no need to be so polite, Miss Shui.” Hou Qingyu smiled gently. When the man saw this, a greedy light shone in his eyes. He thought for a moment and said, ”Since it's the Xia King who has stepped in, then I'll give a cheaper price. I'll just give a thousand platinum stones.”

”Alright.” Hou Qingyu agreed. He took out a lapis lazuli and asked, ”Can I use this to pay the bill?”

How could the man not agree when a thousand platinum stones were equivalent to one lapis lazuli? He reached out and grabbed it. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Shui Qiannan say, ”Wait.”

”What else is there?” the man asked.

”This spirit beast is mine now?” Shui Qiannan lightly said.

”Yes.” The man didn't understand Shui Qiannan's intention. Shui Qiannan hooked up a smile and gave a meaningful ”Oh” before saying, ”My spirit beast killed your spirit beast and lost money. Shouldn't you pay for injuring my spirit beast?”

”What do you want? The money was given by the Xia King, not you.” The man's expression changed as he yelled and was about to run away.

Shui Qiannan grabbed him and said coldly, ”The spirit beast that injured me still wants to leave? It's too naive.” After saying that, Shui Qiannan viciously threw the man onto the ground.

”~ ~” The Spirit Beast pulled Little Rascal by its right hand and called out. Little Rascal bent down and picked up the little Spirit Beast, saying, ”Mother, it said that it is fine.”

”His leg is probably crippled. I have to reconnect it when we get back, is that still okay?” Shuiqi protected the short end of her life. No matter what happened in the past, her people wouldn't be able to teach her a lesson, even if it wasn't her Spirit Beast when she was taught a lesson just now.

Shui Qiannan coldly said, ”If you break its legs, you can go with it.”

The man looked at Shui Qiannan with a horrified expression. He kept backing away as he said, ”You can't do this, you can't.”

There was nothing that Shui Qiannan could not do. He waved his sleeve, and a surge of spiritual power flew over him. The man screamed as he hugged his right leg. ”Ah! My leg! My leg is broken!”

No one in the crowd dared to help him. They all looked at Shui Qiannan with reverence.

Shui Qiannan held Little Rex's hand and looked at Hou Qingyu expressionlessly, ”Many thanks for your kindness, but I will take care of my own matters. I hope that you will mind your own business next time.” With that, he left with Little Right.
