Chapter 565 - This Is Our Big Client!

Gu Han understood that because of the rules, he couldn’t make a move here.

Once outside, it was still the same, extremely chaotic Tiannan Realm. If he offended those people, they could easily kill a rogue cultivator like Mo Xun.

Xiao Hei barked arrogantly.

Chongming said slowly, “It says don’t worry, it has money. It’s got your back.”

After its earlier explanation, Xiao Hei already understood the value of its resources, and its confidence was sky-high. But Mo Xun was a bit slow to react.

Gu Han patted his shoulder and sighed, feeling a bit inexplicably bitter. “Strictly speaking, Xiao Hei is way richer than me.”

Not counting the value of the token, seventy to eighty percent of all the resources he had obtained were on Xiao Hei. If he really did the math, ninety-nine percent of the people in Lingyun City didn’t have as much money as Xiao Hei. It was the real dog tycoon!

With a nervous Mo Xun in tow, Gu Han soon arrived outside that white jade building. It appeared even more imposing and magnificent from up close. But just as Mo Xun said, there was almost no one visible outside. Those with insufficient wealth didn’t dare come and humiliate themselves, let alone invite trouble.

The group then walked in. The first-floor hall was extremely spacious, with only about a dozen people who appeared to be of notable status. Beside these people, there were either respectful attendants, pretty maidservants, or white-haired stewards, all seriously explaining something. The service was extremely thorough.

Xiao Hei barked loudly and arrogantly. Where is everyone?! Someone who can breathe, come here!

Everyone instantly looked over. Aside from a few female cultivators who looked at it with some curiosity, the rest all had a flash of disgust in their eyes.

At that moment, a person dressed as an attendant appeared before Gu Han, full of smiles. “Honored guest, may I ask if you have a token?”

“No.”

The attendant’s smile didn’t diminish. “Let me inform you, honored guest. Your spirit pet is somewhat impatient. If it causes a ruckus here, it might disturb the peace of the other guests. It seems a bit inappropriate. Moreover, to purchase things here, you need a token and points. If you wish to use essence crystals and spirit sources, you can find a place outside.”

Mo Xun was completely overlooked due to how poor he seemed. Although Gu Han was a Saint realm cultivator, he was caked in dust after traveling for a month straight, greatly compromising his image. As for the rooster and the dog... one was bald, while the other was black. No matter how they looked at them, they seemed like a bunch of country bumpkins who had never seen the world.

Xiao Hei instantly flared up, opening its mouth to bite someone.

The attendant said apologetically, “Honored guest, I must remind you that a dog biting someone also counts as an attack, which means breaking the rules of Lingyun City.”

Gu Han laughed. “Not bad! Among all these arrogant idiots, you’re the most polite one!”

At that moment, an unfriendly young man put down what was in his hands. “So noisy and messy! What kind of behavior is this?! How uncivilized can you be?! Don’t you see what kind of place this is?! Even a single floor tile here could match your entire net worth! If you want to buy things, get out! Don’t ruin my mood!”

The floor of the hall seemed to be paved with an even more precious material. What had originally been a spotless floor was now covered in paw prints because Xiao Hei hadn’t washed its feet.

He glanced at Mo Xun this time. “Earthly Tribulation realm? A poor-looking thing who hasn’t seen the world! How do you even have the courage to come here! Hurry up and get out. Oh right, don’t forget to wipe the floor clean when you leave!”

Mo Xun’s face flushed red as the little self-esteem he had was trampled to pieces.

The attendant took the opportunity to extend a hand toward Gu Han, saying apologetically, “Honored guest, please don’t disturb the peace of the other guests. We still have business to do.”

Xiao Hei was about to go berserk. It had said before that it would protect Mo Xun. Now seeing him humiliated, it couldn’t hold back. It was about to eat this young man on the spot!

Chongming reprimanded, “Xiao Hei, did you forget what I told you?”

Xiao Hei whimpered and looked at Master Rooster aggrievedly.

Chongming swept a cold glance over everyone. “Use your money. Crush them to death!”

Xiao Hei barked angrily. It then opened its mouth and spat out a storage ring.

Gu Han said expressionlessly, pointing at Mo Xun, “Give it to him. Get a token!”

Everyone was a bit slow to react. What?

Looking at that storage ring covered in drool, the attendant inwardly felt repulsed. His face stiffened, and he forced a smile. “Honored guest, don’t joke around—”

Just then, an old man flashed by, appearing beside him. Without any disgust for the drool on the storage ring, he reached out and took it before him. His divine sense swept over it, and his expression changed slightly.

The attendant felt even more confident. “Steward Xin, this guest seems to not understand the rules—”

Steward Xin’s face darkened, and he slapped the attendant across the face, sending him flying. Before he even landed, not a single tooth remained in his mouth.

He said indistinctly, “I—”

Steward Xin’s eyes turned icy. “Bastard! This is our big client!”

The attendant was stunned on the spot. What?

In spite of being a Saint realm cultivator himself, Steward Xin bowed toward Gu Han. Cupping his hands, he said sincerely, “Honored guest, I failed to control my subordinate and offended you. I beg your forgiveness!”

Gu Han shook his head. “It’s okay, but the one you need to apologize to isn’t me.”

The old man turned and cupped his hands toward Xiao Hei. “Honored guest, accept my humble apology!”

Spirit pet or not, dog or not, just based on what was in that storage ring itself was worth kowtowing to apologize to a dog.

Xiao Hei rolled its eyes, but Steward Xin didn’t hesitate at all.

He bowed toward Mo Xun and said apologetically, “Young friend—no, honored guest, it was my subordinate who was blind as a dog and offended you. I hope you can forgive him. Tell me how I should deal with him!”

Gu Han looked at Xiao Hei, then at Steward Xin, somewhat baffled. “You can understand what it’s saying?”

Steward Xin smiled. “I previously managed the position of raising spirit beasts in the Merchant Association. I was only later transferred here to serve as steward.”

Gu Han sighed with emotion. The Lingyun Merchant Association really is full of talented people!

For some reason, he suddenly thought of Li Xun. Skills never weighed one down. Maybe Li Xun had also raised spirit beasts before.

Mo Xun stammered for a long time but couldn’t say a single word. If they were outside, a single word from Steward Xin could reap his life, but now the old man was so respectful toward him. This made him feel terrified and very uncomfortable.
