Seeing the Bull Demon King looking half-dead, Tu Xiao'an naturally knew what it was thinking.
He tossed it a few Snakeberries. Its injuries were severe—forget Transformation, it couldn't even walk properly.
Tu Xiao'an also ate a few Snakeberries to replenish his depleted energy.
Luo Ziyun walked over from a distance, her lovely eyes sweeping over him as she said, "Congratulations. I never thought you'd be able to subdue this Rank Three Demon Spirit and make it your Battle Companion."
'It's strange,' he thought. 'I've just displayed such incredible power. Even if it's not enough to completely shatter her worldview, she shouldn't be this nonchalant.' Tu Xiao'an, however, saw no surprise or shock in her eyes.
'This strange woman... Is she so unflappable that her expression wouldn't change even if a mountain collapsed before her? Or is it that my ager strength is simply nothing in her eyes?'
He couldn't help but use Conscious Insight on her again, but the result was the sa.
He couldn't scan any data at all.
"Beauty, you've really done in."
The Bull Demon King looked at Luo Ziyun with a resentful expression. If she hadn't ntioned wanting snake soup, he wouldn't have ended up as this Snake Spirit's pet.
Despite his complaints, the Bull Demon King's gaze toward Luo Ziyun was still filled with greed and a desire to possess her.
'It's worth dying for a beautiful woman,' he'd thought. But now, not only had he failed to win the prize, he'd lost everything—including himself.
He could forget about ever having this beauty now.
"Hee hee..." Luo Ziyun giggled, her laughter as charming as a blossoming flower. She shot him a look that clearly said, 'You're Rank Three and you couldn't even beat a Rank Two. My fault?'
Tu Xiao'an said to the Bull Demon King, "You don't have to be so upset. You're not the first Rank Three Demon Spirit I've subdued. I already tad a Rank Three Snake Flood Dragon before you."
"Really?" The Bull Demon King's large, bronze-bell eyes widened. If that was true, he felt much better about his situation.
'A Snake Flood Dragon had beco this Snake Spirit's pet. That poor guy must feel even more wronged than I do.'
Misery loves company. This comparison made the Bull Demon King feel much better.
"You'll et eventually," Tu Xiao'an said.
Afterward, Tu Xiao'an and his group headed back into the mansion. Despite the massive hole in the living room, it was still possible to sit and rest.
Several young won and Wang Qingfu were also lying unconscious in the room.
Having subdued the Bull Demon King, Tu Xiao'an was now the rightful master of the mansion. He made himself at ho on the leather sofa and looked at the enormous wild bull, which could now walk normally after eating the Snakeberries. "Bull Demon King, what's your na?"
Bull Demon King was just a title. Since he moved in human society, he surely had his own na.
"Niu Dali."
The wild bull standing before them spoke.
Tu Xiao'an deadpanned. 'The na is quite fitting.'
"So, tell about your assets," Tu Xiao'an said, getting to the point.
The Bull Demon King finished absorbing the power of the Snakeberries. His massive body flickered and transford into a large, fat man. Not daring to hide anything, he said, "Three hundred million in liquid assets. As for fixed assets, I haven't calculated them all, but it includes three mansions like this one, five stores, and a real estate company."
'Holy crap.'
'This Colorful Bull really is filthy rich.'
Never mind anything else, he had three hundred million in liquid assets alone. Adding in the mansions, stores, and company, his net worth had to be at least five hundred million.
Not only was Tu Xiao'an stunned, but even Luo Ziyun gave the bull an appraising look.
For a bull to be so rich, just how many wicked deeds had it committed?
The Bull Demon King raised his chin slightly, his expression smugly saying, 'That's right, I'm just that rich.' Unfortunately, Tu Xiao'an's next words made him deflate like a punctured balloon.
"You'll be handing over that three hundred million," Tu Xiao'an said with a grin. "I'll give you an account number. Just wire it over."
"Yes, Master."
The Bull Demon King was in despair, feeling as if he'd been robbed of both his wealth and his virtue.
But since he now belonged to Tu Xiao'an, he knew he had to accept his fate.
"As for your fixed assets, you can keep them for now. Continue managing them."
There was no need to be completely ruthless, especially with one's own pet. You had to leave them so breathing room.
Most importantly, Tu Xiao'an was counting on this bull to keep making money for him.
The Bull Demon King's large, bronze-bell eyes widened in delight.
"From now on, do business more ethically. You're forbidden from harming ordinary people, understand?"
The Bull Demon King asked, "Master, are you giving back my freedom?"
He had assud that being subdued ant losing his freedom and being unable to enjoy his life of luxury. He hadn't expected this pleasant surprise.
"I don't need you to stay by my side. I'll summon you when I need you."
Tu Xiao'an could summon his subdued pets at any ti, as long as they were within a certain range.
The Bull Demon King gasped. This was a silver lining in a very dark cloud.
"This mansion of yours is pretty nice. Fix it up a bit, and I'll move in later."
Tu Xiao'an couldn't stay at the Chen Family Mansion forever. He was a student at the Ancient Academy now, but he didn't plan on staying there for long either.
Unless the Ancient Academy had sothing to hold his interest.
This mansion was nice. It could serve as his residence in Wencheng.
By subduing this Rank Three Demon Spirit, Tu Xiao'an suddenly felt like he had it all, effortlessly reaching a peak that ordinary people strive for their entire lives.
He continued giving the Bull Demon King so instructions, like letting the models and internet celebrities go when they woke up without causing them any trouble. As for Wang Qingfu, he was not to be bothered anymore.
A Rank Three Demon Spirit could also erase the mories of ordinary humans.
After learning a bit about the Bull Demon King's origins, Tu Xiao'an glanced at the sky. It was almost dawn.
He'd really accomplished a lot in one night.
He had originally just gone into the water to find the source of a desolate-sounding flute. He never expected that, through a strange twist of fate, he'd end up at a mansion and even subdue a Rank Three Demon Spirit.
Of course, this was all thanks to the enigmatic woman beside him, the one who had fished him out of the Moat like he was a carp on a line.
With everything more or less settled, Tu Xiao'an and Luo Ziyun left the mansion.
The Bull Demon King watched his new master leave with a complicated expression. In a single night, he, a mighty Rank Three Demon Spirit, had inexplicably beco the pet of a Snake Spirit.
He desperately hoped that when the sun rose, he would wake up and find this had all been a nightmare.
Tu Xiao'an was in a great mood—an absolutely fantastic mood. Subduing a Rank Three Demon Spirit and gaining three hundred million was more unbelievable than winning the lottery.
Just like that, he had beco a multi-millionaire.
This was too easy. Following this line of thinking, there were probably many more Demon Spirits like the Bull Demon King hiding in Wencheng.
They used Transformation to take on different identities in human society. Every one of them was probably worth a fortune. With their power and thods, making money through unscrupulous ans would be incredibly easy.
If even a dumb bull could earn that much, imagine what other creatures were capable of.
'If I go find them, subdue them one by one, and confiscate their assets... that would be amazing. It's a better racket than robbing a bank—a tiny investnt for a massive return.'
He'd be doing good deeds, gaining underlings, and making money all at the sa ti.
