Chapter 67

"Manager, today I’m treating you, don’t be so formal, just eat to your heart’s content."

Ning Yuheng patted his chest, and Ye Xiao nodded lightly.

"Alright."

The two walked side by side into the restaurant.

...

An hour later.

Ning Yuheng held his chopsticks, looking at the piled-up plates in front of him and the still eating Ye Xiao and Luli, he couldn’t help but doubt life.

"Manager, you two, aren’t you afraid of getting full after eating so much?"

In fact, after cultivation reached a high level, no matter how much one ate, they wouldn’t get full.

Because when cultivation improved, the body’s constitution would also be enhanced.

The food consumed would be quickly digested into nutrients by the internal spiritual energy and stored.

Ye Xiao only needed to taste the flavors of the dishes and didn’t need the energy they provided.

So he ate a bit more.

But it was time to stop.

Ye Xiao put down his bowl and chopsticks, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and said calmly,

"I’m done."

Ning Yuheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; he was really afraid Ye Xiao would burst his stomach.

"Good, it’s getting late, I’ll go pay the bill."

After saying that, he immediately got up to pay. When he saw the string of numbers on the bill, Ning Yuheng couldn’t help but shudder violently.

65,721.

This is too much!

Although the food here was relatively expensive, with an average consumption of over 10,000 per person, the combined consumption of the manager and the cat was equivalent to four or five people’s meals.

They really eat a lot, don’t they?

No, I can’t bring the manager to such a place to eat again.

Although the money came from selling the books the manager gave me, after three or four times, I would have to pay out of my own pocket.

"Have you finished paying?"

Ye Xiao, holding Luli, walked over, and Ning Yuheng nodded.

"Done."

"Then let’s go back."

"Alright!"

The two walked out of the restaurant together, heading towards the street corner. Although their paths were different, this part of the way was the same.

"Where does the manager live?"

"In the outskirts of the city."

"The outskirts? That’s quite far, isn’t it? Is it convenient for work?"

"It’s okay, mainly because the rent is cheap."

"How cheap can it be? The manager’s salary is over 10,000 a month, right? Why not find a place closer for easier commuting?"

"About 100 a month."

Ning Yuheng: “(⊙.⊙)!”

Are houses in the outskirts that cheap?

Looks like I should ask about it too.

Living in the library is free, but with so many employees, it’s inconvenient.

Moreover, the library is crowded, and if I accidentally reveal my star beast bloodline aura, it would be a big trouble.

Just as he was thinking, a sense of fatal danger suddenly descended, making all the hairs on his body stand up.

"This feeling? This powerful aura... Could it be him? Manager, you should run, the farther the better. No, it’s too late, I’ll run, you mustn’t follow me."

After saying that, he instantly burst out with all his strength and fled in another direction.

Ning Yuheng was at the Fifth Rank of the Later Heaven stage, and he thought Ye Xiao was only at the Second Rank of the Later Heaven stage. It was better for him to run away than for Ye Xiao to do so.

The pursuer this time was too powerful, so powerful that Ning Yuheng didn’t even have the heart to resist.

He knew he couldn’t escape this time, but he had to run, at least to avoid involving the manager.

Ye Xiao shook his head.

"This fool, thinking of others even when he’s about to die?"

Of course, he understood why Ning Yuheng ran away, because he also felt that power, and he sensed it earlier than Ning Yuheng.

It was a First Rank of the Innate stage half-beast master.

Clearly, it was a killer sent by the Beast God Cult.

After all, they had killed two of their followers last time.

Ning Yuheng must have wanted to lead the pursuer away by running, to avoid hurting himself.

Ye Xiao patted his belly.

"Having eaten so much, it’s time to digest a bit."

Ning Yuheng’s speed was very fast, and he almost disappeared at the end of the street in a few breaths.

His cultivation was only at the Fifth Rank of the Later Heaven stage, and he shouldn’t have been that fast. Ye Xiao immediately judged that Ning Yuheng’s silver fox bloodline had provided some assistance.

It seemed that the cultivation techniques hidden in the same star beast bloodline were not just one.

No wonder half-beasts were so strong.

However, Ning Yuheng had only run out of one street when a huge impact hit his legs.

"Bang—!"

With a loud explosion, Ning Yuheng’s lower legs were instantly shattered.

"Ah—!"

He screamed in pain and fell to the ground with a thud.

The intense pain made him shudder uncontrollably.

In the darkness, a tall, thin figure with eyes like a wolf slowly emerged.

His muscles were bulging, and although he was thin, he didn’t lack the beauty of strength.

On his two arms were thick alloy chains, his weapons, at the sub-master level.

"Little brat, do you think you can run from me?"

Ning Yuheng gritted his teeth and trembled.

"Master Green Wolf? I didn’t expect the Beast God to send such a powerful person to hunt me."

"Don’t flatter yourself. Hunting you doesn’t require me. My purpose is the person who protected you last time."

With that, Green Wolf swung his arm, and the chain, like a whip, fiercely struck Ning Yuheng’s chest.

"Spit—!"

Ning Yuheng was thrown into the air, his chest a mess of blood and flesh, revealing the white bones inside.

"You have the silver fox bloodline, so even with such severe injuries, you will heal quickly.

But I think you wouldn’t choose such a painful way. Speak, who killed Bazan and Meg?

Speak, and I’ll give you a quick death."

Green Wolf’s tone was filled with an unyielding dominance.

He didn’t take Ning Yuheng seriously at all. In his eyes, Ning Yuheng was just a tiny ant, not worth mentioning.

Even his death was under his control.

Ning Yuheng was in such pain that he was about to lose consciousness, but he still gritted his teeth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Kill me, I won’t say anything."

Green Wolf looked at his determined eyes and sneered.

"Fool, as foolish as your mother, stubborn and unyielding.

But... do you think you can change anything?"

As Green Wolf spoke, a lazy yet seductive voice quietly reached Ning Yuheng’s ears.

"Green Wolf, don’t scare the kid."

Hearing this voice, Ning Yuheng’s pupils instantly contracted.

"This voice... is it Master Enchanting Fox? The Beast God Cult actually sent two masters, one a mentalist master?"
