Xu Que was a bit confused.
He knew Buttface was a dog with an extraordinary history. Maybe Buttface was really the descendant of the Ancient Magic Dragons.
However, this information was solely based on the boast of Buttface, of which the authenticity was difficult to verify. Moreover, Buttface hadn’t revealed any unusual talents until now. His physique was extremely strong and he knew something about spells, but that was all!
So why did these people target Buttface and want to buy him? Could it be that they knew Buttface’s background?
Xu Que looked at Jiang Yushu suspiciously. However, before Xu Que had time to say something, Buttface went crazy.
“Sh*t! You’re just a bunch of scums to me—not even qualified to be my pet. How dare you say you want to buy me?” Buttface spat directly at Jiang Yushu after finishing.
Jiang Yushu face immediately fell and he snorted. Buttface’s saliva was blocked midair and fell to the ground dozens of centimeters away from Jiang Yushu.
“My young friend, it seems your pet is quite edgy!” Jiang Yushu said, looking at Xu Que coldly.
If he didn’t think highly of Buttface’s miraculous healing skills, he would have already tried to kill him!
Xu Que replied with a faint smile. Now he was surrounded by powerhouses of most of the big families and sects, but he didn’t mind. With the Divine Escape Spell in his hand, he could leave with Jiang Hongyan when things went south.
“Your eyes are really quite shrewd for noticing Buttface,” Xu Que said, but he shook his head. “However, it is a pity that I can’t sell him because he is too precious!”
He couldn’t directly ask them why they wanted to buy Buttface, so he had to carefully probe the situation with his words.
Jiang Yushu was not puzzled by Xu Que’s words. On the contrary, he thought it was quite normal for Xu Que to react this way. A dog who could heal wounds instantly was certainly precious! No one could sell a dog with this miraculous skill.
“My young friend, just now your wounds healed from being punched by this dog. I suppose you’re also a clever guy, so you should know the reason we want to buy the dog. Therefore, I’ll cut to the chase. We need this dog to heal our wounds. Just name your price!” Jiang Yushu coldly went straight to the point, for he didn’t want to waste time with Xu Que.
At the same time, the other cultivators also spread out and tried to seal off all possible ways for Xu Que to escape by standing at key points. Someone even isolated Xu Que from Jiang Hongyan and Liu Jingning. If Xu Que decided to escape, these people were set on at least preventing him from taking Jiang Hongyan away!
However, Xu Que was crazy with delight. Originally, he thought these people wanted to buy Buttface forcefully because they had known Buttface’s history.
He didn’t expect these people could be stupid enough to attribute his healed wounds to the dog’s punch!
On second thought, he could understand the misunderstanding of Jiang Yushu and the rest cultivators. It had looked like his wounds were being healed as Buttface punched him.
At the thought of this, Xu Que had had a pretty good idea of how things stood, so he smiled coldly internally and decided to meet their trick with another trick.
After all, they had extended their faces to him—he really had no reason to prevent himself from slapping them.
He sighed as he looked at Jiang Yushu. “I really want to help you, but you have so many people who need treatment. Buttface can’t heal wounds for every one of you. Just now, he saved me at a high cost. We have stuck together and helped each other since our childhood. His suffering distressed me very much!”
Buttface was confused and didn’t know what was happening. The next moment, a voice came into his ears.
“Don’t talk!”
“What?” Buttface turned around immediately. He realized the one who sent the message to him was Jiang Hongyan!
Jiang Hongyan still sat on the ground with her legs crossed. Her eyes were closed tightly and her body was wrapped in light. It seemed she was still healing her wounds in a state like the secluded cultivation.
Buttface’s eyes immediately lit up. He had sensed something was wrong even though he was pretty stupid.
A conspiracy!
A big conspiracy!
This is definitely a grand conspiracy!
Buttface couldn’t help but get excited witnessing Xu Que’s trick to cheat these wicked and annoying people!
With the reminder from Jiang Hongyan, Buttface had no time to think about how this conspiracy was being planned. He just shut his mouth and tried to cooperate with Xu Que by pretending to be sick. Then, he waited to enjoy the show!
Xu Que didn’t expect Buttface could be so cooperative, so he shouted in surprise, “Buttface, are you ok? Have your previous wounds reopened? Alas! This is all my fault! If I had not been injured so seriously just now, I wouldn’t have asked you to use the Ultimate Unmatched Give Me Back My Health Fist!”
The Ultimate Unmatched Give Me Back My Health Fist?
Many people were dumbfounded by the weird name. How could a miraculous magic art have such a vulgar name?
However, most of the cultivators were not interested in the name. They had seen many weird things taken out by Xu Que, such as the Smelly Tofu and the miraculous item which could look through the ancient stones, which had magical effects but hadn’t been seen or heard of in the World of Cultivators.
It was quite normal for him to know of or have a miraculous magic art with a weird name. They didn’t care about the name as long as the magic art could heal wounds.
Liu Jingning couldn’t help but roll her eyes. From her experience with Xu Que, she had guessed he was about to cheat those guys again.
Jiang Hongyan still sat on the ground with her legs crossed. However, nobody noticed the faint smile appear and disappear on her face when Xu Que mentioned the Ultimate Unmatched Give Me Back My Health Fist.
Dong Genji of the Carefree Building stepped out and lightly said, “Brother Wang, you caused our wounds. It’s quite fair for us to pay you so that you can ask your pet to heal our wounds! Are you really going to reject us?”
“What Brother Dong says is correct,” Xu Que said. “However, I am also in a pickle. Buttface can only heal a dozen people at most, which could reopen his old wounds and even kill him! I really can’t accept that!”
The more he explained, the more eager the cultivators wanted to get Buttface.
However, Xu Que continued to speak. “How about this? You pick fifteen people, and I will ask Buttface to heal their wounds. But each of them has to first pay 1,000,000 best-grade Spirit Stones as the expense for Buttface’s future treatment!”
“What?” everyone in this area shouted, their eyes wide in surprise.
One million best-grade Spirit Stones for healing our wounds? Are you robbing us?
Many people were startled by this extravagant price.
Indeed, they were very wounded. If they performed secluded cultivation for one or two months at home, they could recover fully and didn’t need to pay such a high price.
The reason they wanted to recover their full strength quickly was to capture Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan.
But the price offered by Xu Que was really too high. One million best-grade Spirit Stones for one person was an unacceptable price for them!
Rumble!
At this moment, a large sound reached them from afar. It seemed a tremendous explosion had just occurred!
The shocked crowd unconsciously turned around. The next moment, all of them were dumbfounded.
“Is . . . that Desolation City?” someone asked in a trembling voice.
Everyone was stunned. Even Xu Que’s expression also changed with his surprise.
The explosion had occurred in Desolation City, where he and Liu Jingning had stayed several days ago.
Now, an inexplicable change had occurred there. The entire city was floating in the air.
The ancient city, where Spiritual Qi was sparse, was being wrapped in dense Spiritual Fog. Meanwhile, rosy clouds fell from the city like dazzling waterfalls.
The scene was startling, as it seemed the place had been turned into a celestial city!
