Whether it was Du Guyi or the bystanders, when they saw Yun Chujiu’s performance, they were even more certain that this Fire Spirit Beast from Spirit Radiance Sect was the one from the Heavenly Gates Sect!
“Little girl, there’s no point in talking anymore. Hurry up and summon the Fire Spirit Beast, okay?” A trace of pride flashed in Du Guyi’s eyes. It was indeed easy to fool someone at such a young age. If it was that old thing Xuanyuan Changkong, he definitely would not have given himself away!
Yun Chujiu’s small face scrunched up. She glanced at Master Xuanyuan in embarrassment and then stuttered, “Master Dugu, the Fire Spirit Beast is in the earth fire cave. There’s earth fire inside, so we can’t get it out.”
Du Guyi sneered, “Little girl, just now Xuanyuan Changkong said that he would help the Fire Spirit Beast to bathe. Why can’t he get it out now? Aren’t you contradicting yourself?!”
“Ah… Uh… The Fire Spirit Beast is taking an afternoon nap now, so it can’t be summoned!” Yun Chujiu took out a handkerchief and kept wiping her sweat, which made people think she was guilty!
“Afternoon nap? Then how long does it naps for?”
“Yes… It may take eight to ten days, or it may take a year or so!” Yun Chujiu’s eyes flickered, and her hands kept tugging at the corner of her clothes.
Du Guyi sneered, “Little girl, isn’t your excuse a little too lame?! If you don’t summon the Fire Spirit Beast, it proves that Spirit Radiance Sect is guilty, and then we can only resort to force to solve it!”
“HMPH! If the Fire Spirit Beast was woken up and didn’t have a good rest, it would be in a bad mood. If it was in a bad mood, it wouldn’t like to eat, and if it didn’t like to eat, it wouldn’t pass earth fire. This would seriously affect the production of earth fire! If it affects our production of earth fire, would you compensate us?” Although Yun Chujiu’s voice was very loud, no matter how one looked at it, it felt like she was acting tough on the outside but was actually weak on the inside. There was a sense of guilt in her voice.
“HMPH! Are you trying to stall for time? It’s just a little bit of earth fire. If we have to compensate, so be it! Quickly summon the Fire Spirit Beast!” Du Guyi saw Yun Chujiu’s behavior and was even more certain that the Fire Spirit Beast from Spirit Radiance Sect was stolen.
“You’ll pay? Hmph! How much can you pay? If this Fire Spirit Beast is unhappy, it might affect half of the total earth fire production!” Yun Chujiu’s eyes flickered as she shouted loudly.
“How much do you want?” Du Guyi was now in a hurry to prove that the Fire Spirit Beast was from his own sect. If he could prove that Spirit Radiance Sect had stolen their Fire Spirit Beast, not only would the earth fire be once again exclusive to Heavenly Gates Sect, but Spirit Radiance Sect’s reputation would also plummet. On top of that, there was still one-tenth of the Spirit Stones.
Yun Chujiu counted with her fingers for a while, and only when Du Guyi impatiently urged her did she say, “How about one-tenth of the Spirit Stones?”
Du Guyi was so angry that he was twitching. You really dare to ask for it! Just because we disturbed the Fire Spirit Beast’s nap, you want us to pay one-tenth of your sect’s ownership of Spirit Stones?
“Little girl, you’re making trouble for no reason! If you continue like this, we’ll just barge in!” Du Guyi’s patience was exhausted and his attitude became domineering.
“Alright, then ten million low-grade Spirit Stones it is! If you don’t agree, then you can just go ahead and try to barge in. Spirit radiance Sect isn’t to be trifled with!”
Du Guyi thought for a moment. Although ten million Spirit Stones was not a small amount, it was not too much. It was better to end the battle quickly. “Alright! I promise you! If this Fire Spirit Beast’s tail is not broken, I will compensate Spirit Radiance Sect with ten million low-grade Spirit Stones.”
Yun Chujiu blinked her eyes. “Sect leader Du Guyi, you won’t go back on your word, right?”
“HMPH! I’ve always kept my word and never went back on it!” Du Guyi said with a cold smile.
“Well, don’t go back on your word then! You’ll lose a lot if you do!” Yun Chujiu said with a smile. Where did the anxiety from just now went?!
