Ever since she was a little kid, she had never been mocked this way. She could not accept it and swore revenge for the humiliation.
”I want to kill him!” She raged. This was the first time she was driven to such fury.
The youth looked at the girl and shook his head. He did not want to destroy her hopes, but he felt that he had to remind her of a bloody truth.
”But you can't beat him, he's already in the Heavenly Reflection State!”
”...” Her lips parted gently. This was the first time she had felt so helpless. ”Yes, Fang Zhengzhi is in the Heavenly Reflection State. How did someone like him manage to breakthrough?!”
”Shameless, disgrace. I will bite him to death if I have to!” The young girl clenched her fist tightly. Even if she could not take him on, she had other methods. For example, she could scratch, claw, bite... anything that could inflict pain on Fang Zhengzhi.
”Bite?” The youth looked at the dainty lips of the girl and sighed, ”I don't think you can bite him either!”
”Ninth brother, why... why are you helping an outsider!” The young girl's eyes turned misty, tears threatening to fall at any moment.
The youth could not stand seeing her cry. He may have been a little too harsh after all.
”Okay, don't cry, let me make it up to you.”
”If you want to make it up to me, give me your Purple Lightning Dragon Stallion!”
”Then forget it.”
”How about you lend it to me for a month?”
”No.”
”Half a month? Seven days... three days, one day!!!”
”I won't even lend it to you for two hours. Everyone knows your style. Once I lend it to you, I can forget about having it back.” The youth smiled and left.
The girl was left hopping, ”Fang Zhengzhi, you caused me my Purple Lightning Dragon Stallion. I will definitely take revenge for this! Hang on... my White Snow!”
...
White Snow was still being ridden by Fang Zhengzhi. Even though it was slightly disobedient at the start, a few whips quickly solved that problem.
White Snow cried as it was being ridden by Fang Zhengzhi.
As the premier breed of horses, White Snow came from a superior bloodline and could sense the changes in the environment. As such, it had a special name, Traceless Snow Treader. It could maneuver through thick snow without leaving any tracks behind.
Everyone who had own it before treasured it immensely. Who would dare humiliate it this way.
The more humiliating thing was that this b*stard riding it was prepared to sell it away...
”Hi, brother, do you know where the horse market is?” Fang Zhengzhi asked a youth who looked like a peddler.
The youth was completely taken aback as he looked at the Snow Jade Fang Zhengzhi was riding. This was the premier breed of horses!
”East... there's a horse market in the East!” The youth did not know Fang Zhengzhi's identity, but anyone who could ride a Snow Jade was not antangonizable.
”Thank you!” Fang Zhengzhi threw out a bunch of coins as a reward.
The youth was incredibly excited and grabbed the coins out of the air with both hands. Seeing that it was just a bunch of tattered copper... he was incredibly disappointed. Could he be any less stingy?
...
The horse market in the east was bustling with activity. There were many sellers who flocked to this place. After all, this was where all the money was.
When Fang Zhengzhi arrived, there was a huge uproar.
”Wow, it's a Snow Jade!”
”It really is a Snow Jade, there's actually someone willing to sell a Snow Jade?!”
When people found out that Fang Zhengzhi was thinking of selling the Snow Jade, all of the sellers were incredibly excited. This was something royalty loved.
”Ten thousand ounces!”
”Are you trying to take advantage of him? Young man, I'll give you 15 thousand!”
”Get away, I will give you 30 thousand, and we can deal right now!”
”50 thousand, I'll give you 50 thousand!”
Before long, Fang Zhengzhi got rid of the Snow Jade. He sold it for 68,888 ounces, an incredibly prosperous amount.
The one who walked away with Snow Jade was a young male with small eyes. Yet, he was impeccably dressed and clearly from a rich family.
He gently stroked the Snow Jade and looked at the quickly disappearing silhouette of Fang Zhengzhi. He mocked, ”This fella sold a Snow Jade for less than 70,000 ounces? How dumb! This time, I will show the Wangs what a true horse is! I now have a Snow Jade! He can no longer be as cocky when talking to me!”
...
Fang Zhengzhi knew that he did not get a fair price, but he did not mind. Money was king here.
For doing absolutely nothing, he had managed to get over 60,000 ounces of silver and a hundred ounces of gold. He was incredibly happy and wanted to trat Yan Xiu to a meal.
He hummed a song as he walked back to his hotel...
...
A soldier stood next to the young girl.
The soldier was petrified. He knew all too well that the young girl in front of him was consumed by rage and ice.
