Chapter 2296 - 2294: Greed

Chapter 2296: Chapter 2294: Greed

"Please, my lord, have mercy!" Hong Yi said again, her face blushing with shame.

"Lie down!" Zhang Xiaohao growled deeply.

Hong Yi obeyed Zhang Xiaohao’s command, lying down obediently on the ground.

Roar!

Zhang Xiaohao let out a low growl, wasting no more time. He charged fiercely, unleashing a barrage of powerful moves from his hands, attacking her relentlessly...

Three days later.

Accompanied by a low growl from Zhang Xiaohao, the intense battle finally came to a halt.

Zhang Xiaohao tidied his clothes and looked at her calmly.

"Get your clothes in order, we are going up." Zhang Xiaohao instructed.

"Yes, my lord." Hong Yi replied respectfully.

She began to tidy herself up, enduring the pain with effort, keeping herself from making any sound.

A few minutes later.

Once she had tidied her clothes, Zhang Xiaohao said, "Let’s go up!"

With that, he took Hong Yi with him and rushed upwards.

With Zhang Xiaohao’s Spiritual Power Barrier enveloping them, the toxic water from the surrounding black rivers was completely isolated, so there was no worry of it corroding her. They quickly reached the surface, landing on that Spirit Boat.

Zhang Xiaohao sat down on the chair, pointing at the chair opposite him.

"Sit!"

"Yes, my lord!" Hong Yi replied respectfully.

She immediately sat down on the chair.

Zhang Xiaohao waved his right hand, and a hot pot appeared on the table, along with some vegetables, mushrooms, and slices of meat.

He poured himself a cup of wine and took a sip.

"Speak! What is your status in the Beiji Phoenix Clan?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

Gurgle!

At this moment, Hong Yi’s stomach betrayed her with a rumble, her beautiful features suddenly flushing, red as a big apple, looking very alluring.

Coupled with the faint blush still lingering on her face from the recent intense exertion.

"My lord, Hong Yi is hungry!" Hong Yi said weakly.

"Let’s eat together!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

He took out a large bottle of drink and handed it over.

"Thank you, my lord." Hong Yi said respectfully.

She opened the bottle cap, poured herself a cup, and began drinking it.

"Ah! This tastes so good! My lord, what is this? It’s unbelievably delicious!" Hong Yi exclaimed in surprise.

She was a direct member of the Beiji Phoenix Clan, with extraordinary talent, brilliant and intelligent, and even at the Early Mahayana Stage, she had tasted all sorts of things. Yet compared to this drink, everything else seemed lacking.

The only flaw was that inside this delicious drink, there wasn’t a trace of Spiritual Power; otherwise, it would truly be a top-grade item.

"This is called a beverage! I brewed it myself." Zhang Xiaohao said calmly.

"My lord, your skills are extraordinary, Hong Yi is impressed!" Hong Yi flattered.

"Speak!" Zhang Xiaohao said while eating the hot pot.

It had been a long time since he had hot pot, and this time it felt unusually special, with a strong sense of nostalgia.

"Hong Yi is a direct member of the Beiji Phoenix Clan, her talents rank her among the top three in the clan! She is a pride of the young generation of the Phoenix Clan. This time she broke through to the Mahayana Realm, ventured into the Mangdu Mountains, firstly for training, secondly to seek fortune and creation, striving to break through to the Middle Mahayana Realm as soon as possible." Hong Yi said seriously.

"Oh! With your talent, you can only rank in the top three of the Beiji Phoenix Clan?" Zhang Xiaohao asked suspiciously.

Although he managed to suppress Hong Yi so easily just now, in reality, Hong Yi’s combat power was extremely formidable. If not for him inheriting the immobilization technique of the Ape Monkey, and his three Supreme Laws advancing, condensing into four strands of Supreme Law Silk, it would have been impossible to capture her.

Even then, Zhang Xiaohao borrowed the endless power of the surrounding rivers, using the poison within these black rivers, to suppress Hong Yi.

Despite this, he was almost broken free by Hong Yi several times, showcasing her terrifying power.

With such extraordinary talent and strength, she ranked only third in the Beiji Phoenix Clan.

"Yes! Hong Yi indeed ranks third in the Beiji Phoenix Clan! And that’s just among the young generation. If it were the entire Phoenix Clan, my ranking might even be pushed further back!" Hong Yi said seriously.

"Looks like the foundation of your Phoenix Clan is indeed extraordinarily strong!" Zhang Xiaohao commented.

Unless it’s one of the Top 100 Races of the Spirit Realm, other races are too weak compared to these True Spirit Races!

"Tell me, why are you here?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Firstly, to seek my fortune and creation in the Mangdu Mountains, aiming to break through to the Middle Mahayana Stage early. Secondly, to escape the pursuit of my enemies!" Hong Yi explained.

"You are a direct member of the Beiji Phoenix Clan, who had the audacity to attack you? Are they tired of living?" Zhang Xiaohao retorted.

"Previously, when passing through the Sky Tower Fortress, a second-generation ancestor was captivated by Hong Yi’s appearance, he made lewd remarks to Hong Yi, and Hong Yi casually killed him! Unexpectedly, this stirred up a hornet’s nest, the other party actually dispatched an old monster at the Late Mahayana Stage to deal with me! Though I was no match, I managed to escape! But my Phoenix True Body was revealed! Once they saw it, they feared Phoenix Clan’s retaliation, so they wanted to silence me! Consequently, more and more powerful individuals pursued me! Luckily, I hid in the Mangdu Mountains, or else it would have been dire! As for the people you saw, they were all Loose Cultivators from Mangdu Mountains, which I organized." Hong Yi explained.

"No wonder, if it were me, I would have done the same." Zhang Xiaohao nodded calmly.

"My lord, may Hong Yi ask you a question?" Hong Yi asked nervously.

"You want to ask if I am the Ancient Poison Dragon?" Zhang Xiaohao said playfully.

"Yes." Hong Yi nodded seriously.

"I am not!" Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.

"Ah! My lord, you’re not the Ancient Poison Dragon?" Hong Yi exclaimed in shock.

"Yes." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

"Then why did you admit before?" Hong Yi asked, puzzled.

"Did I admit it? It was clearly your own wild imagination." Zhang Xiaohao said while eating a slice of mutton.

"Then why are you not afraid of these poisons?" Hong Yi asked.

"Innate gift!" Zhang Xiaohao replied.

"I see! It’s all Hong Yi’s greed that led to this predicament." Hong Yi said with a bitter smile.

"Go ahead and eat! It’ll get cold soon." Zhang Xiaohao called out.

"Hmm." Hong Yi responded, picking up the chopsticks and starting to eat.
