“What did you just say? That there’s a Spirit Grandmaster amongst you? Who? You? Hahaha!” The guards didn’t take Yuan seriously and began laughing even louder.
“Well, she’s not exactly a Spirit Grandmaster— she’s a Spirit King,” Yuan said as he pointed at Xiao Hua.
“Spirit King?! HAHAHAHAHA!” The guards laughed so hard after hearing his words that they’d begun rolling on the floor dying from laughter.
Yuan looked at the guards with a dumbfounded expression on his face. Why are they laughing so hard? What’s so funny?
“If… If this little girl is a Cultivator with a Spirit Grandmaster cultivation base, much less Spirit King, I will run an entire lap around the Golden Phoenix Bazaar while naked!” One of the guards suddenly said.
“Only the Golden Phoenix Bazaar? I am willing to run around the entire city naked if she’s really a Spirit King! Hahaha!”
“…”
Yu Rou and Yuan looked at each other with raised eyebrows.
“What are you two laughing at while on duty? I have been in a bad mood lately so I can use a few laughs! Go ahead, tell me what’s so funny!”
A clear but irritated feminine voice suddenly resounded, and when the guards heard this female’s voice, they immediately stopped laughing and turned around with fearful expressions on her faces, looking as though they were staring at death.
Yuan and Yu Rou also turned to look at the person who’d just spoken, and a very beautiful woman in her late twenties wearing red robes with a golden phoenix pattern could be seen walking in their direction.
“M-Madam Feng!” The guards immediately kowtowed on the ground with their back soaked in cold sweats. “W-We were wrong for laughing while on duty! Please have mercy!”
However, the woman being addressed as Madam Feng coldly snorted, “Did you not hear me? I want to know what’s so funny that it made you laugh like maniacs!”
“W-Well… it’s like this…”
The guards proceeded to explain the situation to Madam Feng.
A few moments later, Madam Feng turned her focus from the guards to Yuan and the two girls beside him.
“So you think it’s funny to joke about being a Spirit King, huh?” Madam Feng narrowed her eyes at them and suddenly—
Boom!
The cultivation base of a Spirit Grandmaster suddenly erupted from Madam Feng’s body, filling the area with a suffocating pressure, causing Yuan and Yu Rou to begin choking as though they were having trouble breathing.
“Do you still think it’s funny to—”
However, before Madam Feng could even finish her sentence, Xiao Hua shouted in a cute but angry voice, “How dare you hurt Brother Yuan!”
Boom!
An immense pressure that far exceeded Madam Feng’s pressure suddenly appeared to cancel out Madam Feng’s pressure, before forcing Madam Feng onto her knees.
“T-This is?!” Madam Feng lifted her head with much effort to look at Xiao Hua, her gaze filled with shock and fear.
“A Spirit King!”
