Chapter 574 - I Will Spare Your Life (2/2)

Amid the silence, a person finally picked up enough courage and walked out. The person was a G8-tier aptitude user.

“Master Hei Xiong, please at least give us some time to fulfill your demand. Why don’t you go to Li Qi’s shop and rest while we are preparing?”

“Ah! Zhang Chuan! It’s you. You are a smart guy. Why don’t you come and work for me? I guarantee it will be ten times better than staying in this sh*thole!” Hei Xiong peeked at the G8-tier aptitude user.

The aptitude user called Zhang Chuan was terrified and replied timidly, “This lifestyle suits me more. I have little ambition and am content as long as I have enough to feed myself. This way, Master Hei Xiong.”

“Haha. Indeed, what else could you dream for in this slum? What a pity that you are always the one getting scolded and mocked at!”

Zhang Chuan did not say anything but grimaced. ‘Aren’t you the main source of my misery?’

Led by Zhang Chuan, they walked down the main road and soon arrived at the only hostel in town. This was where Qin Feng lived.

Li Qi was the owner of this hostel but unfortunately for him, he would be unable to welcome his customers today.

As they approached the hostel, an urgent chirping sound was suddenly heard from Hei Xiong’s waist.

Hei Xiong and the others were baffled. They had never heard and did not expect the little thing to ever shrill so desperately.

The little creature hanging on Hei Xiong’s waist was a unique beast. It was difficult to catch and was known as Silverthread Mouse. The small beast was completely white with a silver line running down its spine.

This mouse was extremely weak but had been surviving the unforgiving frost plain for decades. They were extremely sensitive to powerful beasts and would shrill when they sense one nearby, including the remains of a dead beast.

Hence, this mouse could be used to detect danger in the wild or search for valuable beast materials in a settlement.

Hei Xiong was excited by the mouse’s edginess. “Well, well, well! It seems there’s some good stuff in this place after all!” Hei Xiong stepped into the hostel as he spoke and saw Qin Feng and Bai Li in there.

“Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!” The Silverthread Mouse shrilled even louder. The little mate was terrified.

Bai Li was intrigued and looked at the mouse curiously. The mouse inside the cage could not bear the look and dropped dead instantly.

It had been frightened to death.

The Silverthread Mouse was hardly a G-tier beast. It had little power but was extremely sensitive to it. The mental shock it suffered locking sights with a C6-tier beast emperor was understandable.

But Hei Xiong paid little attention to the miserable fate of his little pet. He, too, could barely move when he saw Bai Li.

Bai Li did not belong to this dump.

She had long silver hair that ran down to her shoulder, with a small red hat lying tidily on top of it. There was a white scarf wrapped around a neck. She was wearing a trendy coat of unknown materials. Her hands and feet were covered with leather gloves and boots, respectively. Coupled that with her beautiful face, it made her look like a painted figure rather than a real person.

Such graceful appearance and demeanor were hard to resist, especially to a male.

“Hmph!” Qin Feng snorted and stood in front of Bai Li. This was clearly to obstruct Hei Xiong’s line of sight.

Hei Xiong stared at Qin Feng angrily for his provocative action. He measured Qin Feng’s attire and recalled the mouse’s desperate shrill from earlier. “Yo, a visitor from outside?”

“None of your business,’ Qin Feng answered coldly.

Hei Xiong was even more infuriated.

“Boy, know your place. Surrender your valuables now and I will spare your pitiful life. You have your beautiful girlfriend over there to thank for my generosity.”
