Chapter 8: Massive Hemorrhage

  In a private room in the Wan Hua Building, Xiao Fan, Tang Long, Little Demon Girl, Lin Jianren, Shen Xiangrou and others sat at the same table, with good wine and dishes on the table.

  "Xiao Er Shao Ye, today I admit defeat. Everyone is a clear-headed person, and I won't beat around the bush either. What do you want me to do to let me off, just say it directly." Lin Jianren spoke straightforwardly, wanting to know what Xiao Fan wanted him to do to let him off.

  "Lin Shao, what are you saying? We have a bet going on here, it's written in black and white, and Wang Gongzhu and Wang Dashi are witnesses. Since you've admitted defeat, then fulfill the bet." Xiao Fan said slowly, shaking his fan.

  As for Lin Jianren's intentions, Xiao Fan was very clear, but since Lin Jianren had been so overbearing earlier, Xiao Fan naturally wouldn't let him off easily.

  "Right, right, the one million gold coins have already been taken, next you only need to complete the second bet, wow, running around Xuan Shan City naked is exciting just thinking about it." Tang Baozi laughed extremely exaggeratedly.

  Lin Jianren's face turned iron-green as he shouted, "Tang Baozi, don't cause trouble for me!" His creditor was Xiao Fan, so naturally he wasn't afraid of Tang Long.

  "Haha, since ancient times debts must be repaid. This bet has been made, and it's a debt you owe, even if the master of the Lin family came, it can't be changed. So, think about what to do, haha." Tang Long smiled carelessly.

  Lin Jianren glanced at Xiao Fan and saw that he was leaning on the second floor with his legs raised, drinking fine wine with a completely carefree expression.

  Lin Jianren secretly resented, Xiao Fan's appearance indicated that he was not going to let him off easily. Now, the situation was stronger than people, and he had no choice but to lower his head. No matter what, he would never agree to a wager of traveling naked in Xuan Mountain City. If he really did that, he could directly take his own life without needing to return to his family.

  "Xiao Erlao, this is the Tempering Body Dan, a top-grade dan medicine. After taking it, one can temper their physical body and turn their acquired skills into innate abilities. Even if you've never cultivated before, you'll be able to attain the Nine Heavens of Tempered Body. I'm willing to use this dan to settle this bet once and for all. What do you say?" Lin Jianren gritted his teeth and placed a bottle on the table.

  Dan medicine has a magical effect, can cure the dead and white bones, can help people cultivate, and some legendary elixirs can even make people ascend to heaven in one step. An ordinary person taking an elixir can become a top master, which is not impossible.

  However, becoming an alchemist is extremely difficult. Throughout the vast wilderness of the world, alchemists are extremely rare and are also extremely noble existences, which has led to a shortage of elixirs.

  Dan medicine is divided into nine grades, with grade one being the lowest and grade nine being the highest.

  Although the Tempering Body Pill was only a low-grade pill, it was already a rare treasure for Xuan Shan City, this small mountain city. Even before, the young master Xiao Fan had never obtained any pills.

  The Lin family, although one of the three major families in Xuanshan City, had to spend a huge amount of wealth to obtain this Tempering Body Pill due to its rarity. Lin Jianren was able to get it as a reward for gaining the favor of the family head. Originally, Lin Jianren wanted to take the pill and instantly reach the ninth level of the Tempering Body realm, becoming one of the few young masters of his generation. However, Lin Jianren's vanity got the better of him, and he felt that quietly taking the pill was too low-key. So, he took out the pill to show off to his underlings, planning to take it back home that night and ingest it.

  Unexpectedly, Xiao Fan took advantage of Bai Bai.

  "Tempering Body Dan, what a great thing!" Xiao Fan looked at the bottle on the table, his heart filled with excitement and hatred, wishing he could get it in his hands immediately. However, he couldn't let Lin Jianren off so easily.

  Xiao Fan's face still wore a faint smile, picked up the bottle and opened it, a fragrance of Dan medicine wafted out, inside the bottle was a Dan medicine the size of a longan, obviously this was the Tempering Body Dan.

  "Miss Wang is knowledgeable, please help identify it." Xiao Fang, this young master, naturally had not seen any Tempering Body Dan before, so he wisely handed the medicine to Little Demon Girl.

  The little witch brought it over and smelled the fragrance, then poured the medicine into her palm to take a look. Only then did she nod in understanding: "That's right, this is indeed a first-class medicine, Tempering Body Dan. Taking this dan can attain the Nine Heavens Boundary of Tempering Body." The colleague who was speaking handed the medicine over to Xiao Fang.

  Xiao Fang was overjoyed, took the medicine and immediately put it in his bosom, refusing to take it out again. Then, he adjusted a smile on his face, pretending to be nonchalant, saying: "Hmph, this first-grade medicine is of no use to me, I think it's better to let Lin Da Shao run around instead."

  After hearing Xiao Fan's words, everyone rolled their eyes, which clearly showed that they were talking nonsense. It's useless to you, why are you holding on so tightly...

  "This jade pendant is a medium-grade artifact that can withstand three full-force attacks from an extraordinary expert, and it also has the effect of calming one's mind. I'll give it to you." Lin Jianren was so angry that his teeth were itching, seeing Xiao Fan not willing to let him off easily, he could only take off a jade pendant emitting a green light from his neck and put it on the table.

  "Wow, Lin Shao's treasures are really numerous, even including mid-grade artifacts." Xiao Fan didn't understand how to appraise mid-grade artifacts, so he used his old trick again and handed the jade pendant to Little Demon Girl.

  The little witch took it over and checked it. She nodded and said, "That's right, it is indeed a medium-grade magic tool, but the quality is not high, just garbage among medium-grade magic tools."

  Xiao Fan fiddled with the mid-grade artifact jade pendant in his hand, thinking to himself that this was indeed a good item, a must-have for preserving one's life.

  He raised his head to look at Lin Jianren, and found that his face was pale, his whole body slightly trembling, staring dead at Xiao Fan, saying word by word: "In this case, can these two things settle the bet between us?"

  "Lin Shao is indeed the young master of the Lin family, really rich and arrogant. Hmm, it's settled then." Xiao Fan knew that he had extorted the best things from Lin Jianren to the limit, and he should stop while he was ahead, otherwise it would be hard to end well in the end, so he agreed to it readily.

  Lin Jianren's face turned iron-green, almost vomiting blood. He had originally wanted to make Xiao Fan lose face, but in the end, it was himself who suffered a great loss.

  "Can I have the document now?"

  "What's the hurry, I'll give it to you later." Xiao Fan glanced at him and then ignored him.

  "Princess Wang, I'm troubling you with this matter. Here's half of the spoils that belong to you." Xiao Fang chuckled and began dividing the loot with the little demon girl.

  The little witch giggled and accepted the 500,000 gold coins, her face almost bursting with joy.

  "It's so easy to make money, hehe."

  Everyone suddenly felt a dizziness after hearing Xiao Mo's muttering voice. This girl, she really has no qualms about speaking her mind.

  "This jade pendant will also be given to Wang's daughter." Xiao Fan reluctantly handed the jade pendant to the little demon girl, although he really wanted this jade pendant. However, today he was able to swindle Lin Jianren, and the little demon girl's contribution was indispensable. As a grown man, he couldn't just embezzle things for himself.

  "Hmph, I don't want this broken thing." The little demoness didn't even look at it and directly threw the jade pendant to Xiao Fang.

  "How can this be, we agreed to split it in half. With Miss Wang's strength, she definitely won't need the Tempering Body Pill, so I took it with a thick face. As for this jade pendant, Miss Wang must take it." Xiao Fan pushed the jade pendant over again, with a serious expression.

  "No." The little witch shook her head decisively, feeling a good impression of Xiao Fang rise up in her heart. Hmm, this Xiao Fang guy isn't bad at all, quite fun, much better than other rich kids.

  "I'll take it then, hehe." Xiao Fan was overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface, he still maintained a very upright expression, indicating that he didn't want this trashy artifact at all, and only reluctantly accepted it because the little demon girl didn't want it.

  Xiao Fan's expression instantly made Lin Jianren's face turn iron-green, and he couldn't help but want to slap him to death. It was really infuriating that this guy couldn't even hand over the documents first and then divide the spoils after he left.

  "Chubby, you go and help Shen Niang redeem herself." Xiao Fan hehe smiled, but still didn't forget to let Tang Long rescue Shen Xiangrou.

  "Thank you so much, young master." Shen Xiangrou was overjoyed as soon as she heard Xiao Fan's words.

  "How is it always me?" Tang Long was sitting across from Lin Jianren, his hands propping up his chin, gazing at Lin Jianren with a deep and meaningful look. He thought that Lin Jianren's expression was truly magnificent, even surpassing the combined beauty of all the girls in the Wan Hua Lou. In short, it was refreshing!

  Tang Long was enjoying himself, it's not easy to see Lin Jianren's face like this. Xiao Fan let him do things, he naturally didn't want to.

  "What's the point of saying so much, let's go quickly!" Xiao Fan urged.

  "Alright." Táng Lóng slowly withdrew his gaze, taking three steps back before turning to leave. His expression was as if he was parting with a loved one, making Xiāo Fán and the others feel a wave of disgust.

  "Alright, here's the deed, haha, Brother Lin, thank you so much today! You're sending me money and treasure too. We've known each other for over a decade, but only today did I realize that you're such a good person."

  Xiao Fan handed the IOU to Lin Jianren, not forgetting to mock him in the process. This obvious attempt at gloating made Xiao Mo delightedly giggle 'heh heh', and even Shen Xiangru covered her mouth with a light smile.

  "Hmm!"

  Lin Jianren's whole body was trembling with rage, if it weren't for the little demon girl being there, he really wanted to slap Xiao Fan to death with one palm, but since the little demon girl was there, he didn't dare move, and could only let out a cold hum, slamming the door as he left.

  "Hahaha..."

  After Lin Jianren left, Xiao Fan couldn't hold back his laughter anymore and burst out laughing loudly. The sound of his laughter was so loud that it was like thunder on the ninth heaven, and everyone in the entire Wan Hua Lou could hear it.

  Lin Jianren, who had not yet left the Wanhualou, heard Xiao Fan's loud and arrogant laughter, his face turned even more unsightly, he let out a cold hum, his eyes flashing with fierce light, then quickly left.

  After a while, Tang Long settled the matter of Shen Xiangrou's redemption. With his identity as a young master, he wanted Shen Xiangrou's contract, and the owner of Wan Hua Lou really didn't dare not to give it to him.

  In the midst of loud laughter, Xiao Fan, Tang Long, Little Demon Queen Yu Yan, Shen Xiang Rou and her little maid servant Lu Er left the Wan Hua Lou together.
