And it was only a deposit? What big words you have there.

”You have no proof, so I can't believe it. If you were to take these Purplish Goldstone and prove afterwards that these Purplish Goldstone were indeed lost by me, then what would happen?” After saying that, he suddenly realized what was going on. He looked at Shui Qinan with disdain as he frowned, and said, ”I think you just want to obtain these Purplish Goldstone s! You truly cannot judge a book by its cover! ”

Shui Qinan, hearing all this, could not help but feel that she was somewhat unable to endure it in the end.

She was so patient that she really didn't want to make a move first. However, the mayor and the butler were superficial people like her. It was unknown how they usually managed this Blizzard City.

”As the matter stands, there is no need to speak any further …”

Just as Shui Qinan wanted to make a move, the city lord in front of him suddenly opened his eyes wide, stared at a certain direction in the sky, and stood still in his original position. Shui Qinan was instantly astonished, and followed his gaze towards the sky.

A Vermillion Bird that was surrounded by flames flew toward them from the sky.

Shui Qinan immediately recognized that it was the Zhu Er who was originally by her side. She reflexively looked around, only to realise that Zhu Er had already disappeared without a trace.

It was probably because this little girl couldn't bear the City Lord's insults and fragments, so she found a secluded place and turned into her original form.

Before Zhu Er could even get close to the Vermillion Bird, the butler shouted, ”City Lord, it's a divine beast!”

Of course, the mayor knew about it. Not only did he know about it, he also knew about it.

Zhu Er stuck close to everyone's heads as she passed through the vermilion door and flew into the courtyard. The City Lord and the others fearfully followed along, having already forgotten the existence of Shui Qinan at the entrance.

Shui Qinan helplessly looked at Zhu Er, and followed after with leisurely steps.

Zhu Er transformed into a Vermillion Bird, with her entire body wrapped in flames.

Just now, she couldn't help but feel angry that her master had been slandered by the mayor like that. Looking at the city lord who was staring at her, the fury in her heart had not yet subsided. Even the fire around her had been ignited.

He cried out a few times, spreading his wings and circling above them, then said loudly: ”Good, City Lord, do you want to take all one hundred thousand Purplish Goldstone by yourself? Those are obviously not yours, so why are you still holding onto them? ”

The mayor did not expect that the divine beast would come here for such a thing. He wanted to differentiate between the two of them, but before he could say anything, Zhu Er had already rushed to his front and fiercely snorted, then rose into the air and said: ”I'll tell you, these Purplish Goldstone were originally mine, I gave them to the mercenaries. What do you think of them, do you still want to obtain my things?”

When the mayor heard this, he was stunned. However, the Vermillion Bird was a Primordial Divine Beast that had lived for tens of thousands of years. Having a hundred thousand Purplish Goldstone was nothing strange.

However, this matter happened too strangely. Before he could even react, he heard the divine beast yell, ”Despicable, shameless, lowly person!”

The moment these few words left his mouth, the city lord didn't know how to reply. He also wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but every time he wanted to open his mouth, that Divine Beast would appear in front of him and fiercely pummel him, causing him to have no choice but to embarrassedly avoid the sparks and miss the opportunity to open his mouth.

It seemed as though this divine beast didn't want him to speak.

The mayor felt a bit miserable.

Shui Qinan leaned on the side of the door, looking at the scene in front of her, a faint smile flashed past her eyes, and she glanced at Zhu Er who was happily talking. Zhu Er's mouth said: ”You still haven't released those mercenaries yet, how long are you planning to keep them shut for? Or do you want me to ask you to let them go? ”
