Chapter 2664: Arriving at the Sky Opening Island (1/2)
One jade stone less, kill one person!
Everyone in the Rising Clouds Commerce team was enraged.
Yun Fanger fell into a dilemma to give or not give.
Although she still had jade stones on her, these jade stones were meant to purchase a batch of World River’s Ice Blue Ores, and that was the main reason the caravan had ventured into the World River this time around.
If she gave half of these jade stones to the Thunder Serpent Race, she wouldn’t be able to purchase a sufficient amount of Ice Blue Ores. How was she going to explain her failure to the commerce’s client?
This batch of Ice Blue Ores was ordered by one of the Rising Clouds Commerce’ big clients, and even the commerce house did not dare to offend the client easily.
If she didn’t give the Thunder Serpent Race what they wanted, she is certain Lei Long wasn’t bluffing.
“Fine, I’ll give you!” After pondering back and forth, Yun Fanger finally yielded, albeit very reluctantly.
Even though the insufficient jade stones would result in less Ice Blue Ores, she could think of another way on the way there.
Lei Long flashed a brilliant smile at her, showing impeccable pearly white teeth as he said, “ Second Miss Yun is really a hero amongst women, knowing when to advance, and when to retreat.” He stopped and looked at the sky. “It’s already dark and the night’s frigid qi is getting heavier. Why doesn’t Second Miss Yun rest at my abode, and leave tomorrow.”
The Rising Clouds Commerce’s team were truly furious right now.
This Lei Long was simply riding on their heads!
Our Miss has already agreed to pay another sum of toll fees to them, yet Lei Long still wants her to head to his place?
Isn’t this detainment in disguise?
Even the docile Yun Fanger glared at Lei Long angrily, “You!—”
Lei Long laughed heartily at the angry faces before him. “Second Miss Yun, I don’t have any ill-intentions, rest assured. I have always treated the fairer gender with gentleness at my place, and you will definitely receive the highest treatment!”
But Lei Long deliberately stressed ‘highest treatment,’ and clearly, there was an underlying meaning to his words.
“I’ll accept the thought of your kindness.” Yun Fanger suppressed her anger as she went on, “There is no need to go to your residence.”
Lei Long smiled lecherously, “I’m afraid Second Miss Yun does not have a choice in this matter. I don’t like people defying me, so, you will be going whether you are willing or not.” He signaled the expert who had attacked Chen Junhong earlier to act with his eyes.
The expert complied and strode towards Yun Fanger.
The Rising Clouds Commerce’s team was flustered as this person had injured Chen Junhong with a wave of his hand. That meant he was at least a Fifth Heaven True Saint expert.
The old man beside Yun Fanger shielded her with a solemn expression, staring unblinkingly at the Thunder Serpent Race’s expert who was approaching. His cultivation was at the early Sixth Heaven True Saint Realm, thus he had a clearer recognition of the Thunder Serpent Race’s expert’s scary strength. At the very least, the expert was a late-Sixth Heaven True Saint, possibly Seventh Heaven True Saint.
“Old man, you’re not enough to be my opponent, so you’d better scram far away instead of blocking my way.” The Thunder Serpent Race’s expert sneered coldly, “Or I don’t mind destroying your physical body, as well as everyone here, and refine them into yin thunder beads.”
The old man retorted coldly, “Enough with your nonsense. Even if all of us die here, we won’t let you touch a hair on our Miss!”
“If that’s how you want it, I’ll fulfill all of your wishes!” The Thunder Serpent Race’s experts scoffed.
Just as the old man by Yun Fanger’s side was about to seize the initiative and attack first, a hand appeared in his sight and stopped his action.
Everyone watching was bewildered.
The owner of the arm was none other than Huang Xiaolong, who had not spoken a word so far.
