Chapter 71: Little Monster

  Tang Qing and Tian Jinggang followed the maid to a delicate villa, where Tang Qing entered. Tian Jinggang wanted to follow but was stopped by the maid, who said that Master Liu had only invited Young Master Tang. Tian Jinggang pouted and didn't dare say anything, so he squatted at the door, waiting, and casually plucked a weed to chew on.

  "That Liucheng master god mysteriously doesn't know what makes Tang Qing go and do."

  Regarding the Lord of Liu City, Tian Jinguang had never been in contact with her before, but from his father he understood that this Lord of Liu City was extremely mysterious and had very clever means. Almost everyone who had offended her within Yongyang City had mysteriously disappeared without a trace. Thinking about this, Tian Jinguang suddenly stood up, intending to remind Tang Qing, but then realized what had happened at the Yi house earlier. He thought it was better not to say anything, as Tang Qing's strength was beyond his imagination, and he still felt lingering fear even now.

  "Please come in, young master Táng..."

  The maid opened the door, and Tang Jing walked in. This was a garden with emerald green grass underfoot, birds singing and flowers fragrant, several butterflies fluttering about, sunlight shining down, making one feel carefree and joyful. Along a small path paved with bluestone, Tang Jing saw a pavilion.

  The pavilion is like a quadrangle, also in cyan color, looks delicate and exquisite. Inside the pavilion, a woman sits, wearing a white long dress, with black hair styled into a high bun, a beautiful face, skin as tender as lotus flower, eyebrows like willows, eyes more charming than peach blossoms, captivating people's hearts. This is a woman who looks elegant and refined, yet also very serious, full of contradictions, like having a charming appearance that can mesmerize the crowd, but with a heart that is pure and innocent.

  "Sir Tang, please..."

  Liu Cheng sat upright, stretched out her hand to gesture, and then lightly stroked her sleeve. She picked up the white jade teapot and poured a cup for Tang Qing. Her voice was not as charming as her appearance, but instead sounded somewhat cold and clear. "I've long heard that the Qing Yu Men has a young talented man who formed the Great Earth Body, solved the remaining puzzles of the Nine Palaces and Six Harmonies, and refused the ancient tower master. Today, I see that you are indeed not famous in vain."

  Tang Qing didn't stand on ceremony, sitting across from her and taking the teacup, downing the tea in one gulp. As someone who had always liked to drink wine, he wasn't particularly fond of the art of tea, and no matter how good the tea was, he couldn't appreciate its flavor.

  "Just now in Yi's home, Tang Gongzi overcame the boundary wall with force, crossed the chasm of power, and truly it is a rare sight in the world."

  The city lord's voice was very soft, and she didn't put on the airs of a city lord, but rather treated him like a respected guest. She smiled faintly and said, "However... Tang Gongzi has successively killed Luo Zimo, Luo Tianbao, Meng Jingtong, and Guan Ming, I'm afraid you'll stir up a lot of trouble. At least, the Luo family, Guan family, and Half Moon Gate won't let you off easily. Hehe... I speak bluntly, Tang Gongzi has exceptional courage and mysterious abilities, but after all, you're alone and weak, aren't you... afraid?"

  "You're not afraid, what am I afraid of?" Tang Qing sat casually, looking at Liu Chengzhu with great interest.

  "Heh heh, you're the one who kills, and you're also the one who faces trouble. Why should I, the master of this city, be afraid?"

  "What do you think you should be afraid of?" Tang Jing didn't answer but instead asked back, the smile at the corner of his mouth looking somewhat mysterious.

  "Oh?" The master of Liu City was slightly stunned, seemingly perplexed, his eyes fixed on Tang Qing before smiling and saying, "What do you mean, Young Master Tang?"

  "Alright." Tang Jing poured himself another cup of fragrant tea, this stuff may not be as refreshing to drink as fine wine, but it really does quench thirst. He snorted and said somewhat impatiently, "You don't need to test me either, if you have something to ask me, just say it directly."

  The master of Liu Cheng's heart suddenly moved, like a fierce wind blowing by, but on the surface, he remained unchanged, still smiling and said, "I don't know what Young Master Tang means."

  "Haha, you're quite good at pretending, little girl!" Tang Qing leaned forward, beckoning her to come closer with a crook of his finger. Liu Chengzhu hesitated for a moment before carefully tilting her head and leaning in close. Tang Qing spoke slowly and calmly, "There are some things that you know, I know, heaven knows, earth knows... but if the Sacred Hall finds out, it won't be good, will it? After all, their business is dealing with demons and monsters."

  Wow!

  Liu Cheng's master suddenly stood up, his face turned pale, his expression frightened, his eyes wide with shock, pointing at Tang Qing, even his voice became shrill, "You... you... how... how did you know."

  "Sister! This kid has indeed seen through our identities, let's join hands and kill him!"

  Whoosh!

  Two maidservants, dressed up as women, suddenly rushed out from the inner room, holding long swords, intending to kill Tang Jing on the spot. However, they were stopped by Liu Chengzhu. The two maidservants cried out in surprise and confusion, "Sister!" But Liu Chengzhu shook his head, quickly knelt down on the ground, and trembled as he said, "The little monster Liu Piaopiao didn't know that senior was visiting, and has committed a great offense. Please forgive..."

  Two maids saw Liu Chengzhu kneel down, they were very puzzled and angrily shouted, "Sister, this stinky brat has just formed the body of the earth, why are you afraid of him? Let's work together to extract his divine soul!"

  Tang Qing rubbed his chin, leaning against the pillar of the pavilion, with a tilted body and raised legs, smiling and saying, "Let me tell you, just now when we were fighting at the Yi's house, my breath accidentally leaked out, and it happened to be sensed by your sister, so she was scared. You two are still too tender! In the future, follow your sister and learn a bit." Actually, at the Yi's house, he had already seen through the identities of these three women. As he thought, when he killed the machine together, the variant Ling was about to move, so he leaked out a little breath, which was sensed by her.

  "Xiao Qian, Xiao Lian! Shut up! Quickly kneel down and kowtow to apologize to your seniors!" Liu Chengzhu loudly shouted. Xiao Qian and Xiao Lian didn't dare say another word, threw away the long swords in their hands, and immediately knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

  "You little monster, you've got a big nerve, shouting about extracting my soul! What the...?! Is my soul that easy to extract?!"

  Tang Qing sneered, scaring the three beauties of Liu Cheng's family into trembling with fear. They begged for mercy, saying, "The two sisters are inexperienced in the world and do not know your identity, so they spoke out of turn and offended you. Please, senior, have mercy and forgive them!"

  "It's not an insult, but what exactly are you things? I can only sense that you belong to the spirit realm, as for what kind of spirit, it's somewhat puzzling."

  In the world, all living things are nurtured, and humans are just one of them. Apart from this, there are also demons, ghosts, and monsters. Among them, the demons are the strongest, the ghosts are the most sinister, and the monsters are the most ferocious. The status of the monsters is the lowest, but they are also the most numerous, including stone monsters, grass monsters, earth monsters, spirit monsters, crystal monsters, etc. At the same time, they are also the objects of cultivation for practitioners, because the refined monsters have a great use in alchemy and weapon refinement. However... due to the extremely low growth rate of the refined monsters, living in this world is the most tragic existence, not only suffering from the hunting of cultivators, but also being seen as a delicacy by the three tribes of demons, ghosts, and monsters.

  Upon hearing Tang Jing's doubts, the Lord of Liu City didn't dare to hesitate for even a moment and immediately revealed his true identity. It turned out that their essence was a kind of jade stone, which had accidentally received the nourishment of a magical dewdrop and gradually gave birth to spiritual intelligence over time. All these years, they had been hiding in secret, and in order to facilitate their cultivation, they had schemed to obtain the identity of a city lord. For more than ten years, they had been quietly cultivating in Yongyang City, seemingly very fearful, repeatedly saying that since starting their cultivation, they had never harmed any innocent people.

  After Tang Qing stepped into the path of a loose immortal, he also met many demons and monsters, so he didn't reject these things. Having gone through nine calamities in heaven, he deeply knew that cultivation was not easy. As for what they had done, he couldn't be bothered to care. However, the identity of this Liu Piaopiao as the master of the Easy Market made him very satisfied, and he immediately stated the law ink he needed.

  "Elder, please be at ease, the law seal you need, I will definitely find it for you in a short time!"

  Tang Qing didn't say anything else and left directly.

  Looking at Tang Jing's back, the stone that had been hanging in Liu Feifei's heart finally fell, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking to herself what a close call.

  "Sister, are you mistaken? He's just a guy who has just entered the realm of Qi, why are you so afraid?"

  "Shut up!" Liu Piaopiao glared at them fiercely, just as Tang Qing had said. At that time, when he was in the Yi family, his calamity spirit was stirring and revealed a hint of aura, which happened to be sensed by Liu Piaopiao. The terrifying aura still lingered in her memory, a kind of destructive and earth-shattering aura that made people's hearts tremble with fear. At that time, she had only slightly sensed it, but it almost caused her spiritual body to disperse directly. It was unimaginable what would happen if this guy's aura were to be fully released.

  "Sister, since that guy is so formidable, why don't we escape? People who cultivate are all no good! What if he tells the Holy Temple our identities?"

  "The entire population of Yongyuan City's Holy Hall combined might not be a match for him." Liu Feifei shook her head, she had no idea how this guy, who had just entered the realm of Qi, could possess such a terrifying aura. She didn't understand and didn't dare ask, but one thing was certain - she felt that if he wanted to, he could easily wipe her out without even trying.

  "What's to be done?"

  "Like that, you go find the law ink he needs first, must be fast! And... " Liu Piaopiao's mind was racing, and she continued, "Closely monitor the movements of the Luo family, Guan family, and Half Moon Gate. If they make any moves, report to me immediately!"
