"Yo, Young Master Yang, we et again." Luo Xiu smiled and waved at Yang Ju from atop Black Fatty's broad back.
But at this mont, the complexions of Yang Ju and his servant, Xing Rui, looked as unsightly as if they had swallowed flies. They had thought this lowly being from the Mortal Realm would be buried in the belly of the Ghost Wolf. Yet, in the blink of an eye, he was riding atop the Youming Ghost Wolf, even accompanied by two beautiful fairies.
"Wolf Brother, what is the aning of this?" Yang Ju's gaze fell on Black Fatty as he asked coldly.
Black Fatty snorted. "You dare speak to like this? If it weren't for the favor I owe you, I'd tear you apart right now!"
Afterward, Black Fatty conveyed to Luo Xiu through Divine Sense Communication, "I apologize, Young Master. I was at a critical juncture in my breakthrough, and this young man gave a few Elixirs to help. Because of this debt, I really can't attack him and his servant."
"Besides, Young Master Yang's background isn't simple. Killing him would bring unnecessary trouble, especially now that His Majesty isn't around to back you up if sothing happens." He added, "As for the others, if any have crossed you, just point them out. I'll tear them to shreds on the spot!"
Luo Xiu jumped down from Black Fatty's back. His gaze swept over the crowd as he sent a reply via Divine Sense, "Forget it. There's no need for you to act. As for this master and servant, I can handle them myself once we're out of Ghost Valley Mountain."
"As for the rest, there's no deep-seated hatred. We'll let them live for now. They can serve as my laborers."
"Heh heh, alright then. With your strength, Young Master, this Yang Ju is no match for you anyway. You could extinguish him with a wave of your hand!" Though unclear on the exact scope of Luo Xiu's power, Black Fatty had a general idea. After all, when Luo Xiu was just a teenager, he had been able to spar evenly with the Heavenly Emperor. With such strength, killing Yang Ju would be a piece of cake!
Thinking of this, Black Fatty suddenly threw his head back and let out a long howl.
"Everyone, gather around now!"
His voice thundered like an explosion, rolling through the air and intimidating the crowd.
「A short while later.」
The followers led by Yang Ju had gathered together, all of them trembling with fear, not daring to look directly at Black Fatty.
Black Fatty paced back and forth, his fierce gaze sweeping over the faces of the cultivators. "Dealing with you human whelps, reasoning is obviously unrealistic," he said suddenly. "Since that's the case, I'll just have to subdue you with force!"
"Listen up! From now on, all the Spiritual dicine you collect and any opportunities you find must be turned over to this young master!" As he spoke, Black Fatty glanced at Luo Xiu, then added, "If any of you motherfuckers dare to hide anything away or put it in your Access Space... you'll die!"
With that, he swung his front paw fiercely. A cloud of black mist exploded, instantly turning into dozens of black threads that burrowed into the foreheads of the cultivators. The next mont, an eerie black mark appeared on each of their brows.
Black Fatty said, "This is my Ghost Wolf Curse. It will monitor you at all tis. If anyone dares to have selfish thoughts or try any funny business, the Ghost Wolf Curse will instantly obliterate you!"
Hearing this, a chill ran down the cultivators' spines, and they looked at Yang Ju with pleading eyes. But at this mont, Yang Ju didn't dare utter a word; he was powerless to save them.
"Hah!" Black Fatty suddenly laughed, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "You don't have to look at like that. This Ghost Valley Mountain is my territory. I'm stronger than you, so I make the rules!"
"If you don't like it, you can co fight right now and try to beat so sense into !"
"If you can beat , I'll be your dog. If you can't, you'll be my dogs!"
Standing aside, Luo Xiu sensed Black Fatty's domineering aura and couldn't help but praise him. "Not bad, Black Fatty. It's been years, but you've really grown a backbone."
Black Fatty chuckled, replying with his Divine Sense, "Of course. You might not know, Young Master, but ever since His Majesty returned Ghost Valley Mountain to the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven, everything in the mountain has reverted to its original state."
"In short, I'm very strong now!"
Luo Xiu pursed his lips. "Look at you, getting so cocky."
"..."
Yang Ju's face was livid, and he trembled with anger. Although Black Fatty hadn't targeted him or placed the Ghost Wolf Curse on him and Xing Rui, the followers he had brought were now all under Luo Xiu's command.
"Wolf Brother, what is the aning of this?"
Black Fatty chuckled. "What, are you upset because I didn't give you and your sword boy the Ghost Wolf Curse? Think I'm playing favorites?"
"I can give you two one, if you'd like."
Yang Ju took a deep breath, unable to stand Black Fatty's arrogance any longer. But he knew his own limits and understood that inside Ghost Valley Mountain, he couldn't afford to provoke Black Fatty. The fact that Black Fatty hadn't truly co after him was already a blessing.
"Forget it!"
"Xing Rui, we're leaving!"
The master and servant didn't dare to linger. They imdiately shot into the sky, flying toward the second layer of the area.
Back at the original spot, Luo Xiu's gaze swept over the crowd. He suddenly said, "Just as Lord Wolf said, if any of you have a problem with this, you can co at anyti. For now, all of you get to gathering herbs. I'll take you to the second layer later."
The cultivators all gnashed their teeth, wanting nothing more than to tear Luo Xiu to pieces, but they dared not voice their anger. What could they do? The man had Lord Wolf backing him up.
After the cultivators dispersed, Luo Xiu looked at Black Fatty and sent a ssage via Divine Sense, "Black Fatty, go catch a chicken for , a big one. Then wait for at ho."
Hearing this, Black Fatty's eyes lit up. "Young Master, are you going to cook personally?"
Luo Xiu nodded.
"Hahahaha, that's wonderful! It's been too long since I've had your roasted chicken!"
Luo Xiu said, "We have two guests. Naturally, they must be treated with proper hospitality."
"I understand. Young Master, you and the two fairies can carry on. I'll go catch a chicken!"
「A short ti later.」
After Black Fatty left, Luo Xian and Luo Qingxian both looked at Luo Xiu with strange expressions. Luo Xiu and Black Fatty had been communicating entirely through Divine Sense, so the two won still had no idea what had just transpired.
"Taoist Ao, what in the world is going on?"
Luo Xiu gave them a reassuring look and smiled. "So things are hard to explain in just a few words. All you need to know is that we're allies. Stick with , and you'll enjoy the finest things in life and endless opportunities."
"That's just the kind of person I am. I treat those well who treat well."
"Fairies, you didn't choose to abandon earlier. So from now on, as long as I, Ao Debiao, have a bite of at to eat, you won't be left sipping soup. We'll feast on at together!"
"..."
「anwhile, in the second layer of the Ghost Valley Mountain barrier.」
Xing Rui gritted his teeth. "Young Master, what kind of deal did that lowlife from the Mortal Realm give the Ghost Wolf for it to protect him like that?"
"Who knows?" Yang Ju waved his folding fan, a disdainful smirk on his face. "That lowlife probably knows a few petty tricks to have bought off the Ghost Wolf."
"Sigh, a wolf is a wolf, a re canine. It follows whoever gives it a bone to gnaw on."
"Xing Rui, send the ssage. Once we're out of Ghost Valley Mountain, I'll make that lowlife wish he were dead but unable to die!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
Xing Rui nodded firmly, then took out a Jade Talisman and crushed it.
