Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 296 Wait! He... He’s My Man!

Ning Xuan witnessed the process from nothingness to creation. He was ecstatic. His guess was correct! There were extremely pure Element Force seeds here!

It’s just that for these bipedal beasts, the Turbid Qi is what they need! After they absorb and refine this qi, the so-called process of filtering out the dross and keeping the essence leaves behind Divine Crystals! It’s laughable that these creatures think so highly of themselves, believing the Turbid Qi they absorb is the orthodox path!

"This is it! This is what we’ll use to cultivate!" Ning Xuan nodded immediately, appearing very delighted.

As expected, his words were met with a chorus of mockery.

"Human Slaves are just Human Slaves, actually using the trash we throw away for cultivation!"

"No wonder they can never catch up to us, no matter how hard they try!"

"You didn’t know? I once saw a Human Slave at my cousin’s house in the capital! My cousin threw this trash to him, and he was so grateful he wept. The funniest part is, he couldn’t even fully absorb the energy from this ’trash’!"

"Otherwise, why would they be slaves?"

Once again, the air filled with roaring laughter.

What a bunch of idiots! Ning Xuan was utterly speechless.

These are Divine Crystals! The energy contained within them is astonishing! Even better, after being purified by these bipedal beasts, the Divine Crystals here are completely free of impurities. If the quantity were any larger, any Martial Artists who absorbed it without restraint would simply explode and die!

"Why don’t I see any of these Human Slaves you’re talking about?" Thinking of the words ’cousin’ and ’capital’ he had just heard, an idea struck Ning Xuan, and he immediately asked.

At his words, all the bipedal beasts stopped laughing, their expressions turning somewhat unnatural.

Ning Xuan understood in an instant. They didn’t actually have the qualifications to own the so-called lowly Human Slaves they spoke of. He immediately gave up on the idea of asking them about the whereabouts of Si Lanyi and the other girls. It would be a waste of breath.

The bipedal beast across from them, the one who had just refined a Divine Crystal, was the first to react. "Hehe, but don’t we have some now?" he sneered, his gaze fixed on Ning Xuan and Zhongli Ruoruo.

In an instant, the two of them once again became the focus of everyone’s hostility.

"There are only two of us, and so many of you. Why don’t you..." Zhongli Ruoruo began, but before she could finish, Ning Xuan cut in.

"Why don’t we take turns being your slaves?"

Zhongli Ruoruo was stunned. Her intention was to make these seemingly dim-witted bipedal beasts fight amongst themselves. But now... Looking at Ning Xuan, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion. What in the world is he playing at?

The bipedal beasts obviously hadn’t thought that far ahead and were thrilled by his words.

"That’s more like it!"

"You know your place!"

"See? The so-called Human Race is born to be slave material!"

Each one of them was haughty and smug.

What they didn’t know was that the so-called lowly Human Slaves in their eyes were busy scheming against them. Inciting them to fight amongst themselves would surely cause them to turn on us the moment they realize what’s happening. Of course, I’m not afraid. But if I kill all these bipedal beasts, who will produce Divine Crystals for me for free? Pandering to their preferences and collecting Divine Crystals is the most important thing.

Zhongli Ruoruo was exceptionally intelligent and understood immediately. Ning Xuan had only to transmit a single thought to her, and she instantly caught on. Her gaze, when she looked at him, was filled with admiration.

Across from them, the bipedal beasts had already started to turn on each other without any need for instigation.

"No way! I found them first, so they should definitely serve me first!" the Demon Monkey King demanded.

"Heh, I am the lord of this city! I should be first!" a bipedal beast with a goat’s head and a human body stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking insufferably arrogant.

Suddenly, a cane appeared out of nowhere and smacked him on the head.

"What’s that human saying? ’Respect the elderly and cherish the young’! It must be my turn first!" A slightly hunched bipedal beast that otherwise looked completely human, save for the turtle shell on his back, slowly stepped forward.

"Then have you ever heard the human expression ’flaunting one’s age’?" The city lord’s authority had been challenged in front of so many of his own kind, and the goat-headed beast was furious.

The old turtle’s eyes narrowed. "You dare accuse me of flaunting my age?!"

Over the city, the Turbid Qi swarmed. The already gray sky instantly turned pitch-black.

Ning Xuan’s eyebrow twitched. He swiftly grabbed Zhongli Ruoruo’s slender wrist. Zhongli Ruoruo, who had been starting to feel suffocated, instantly regained her clarity.

Ning Xuan was about to speak when a new voice chimed in. "Well, there are two of them, aren’t there? You could just split them up."

A scantily clad woman had appeared from nowhere. Her gaze was immensely charming, and a long fox tail trailed behind her. As she spoke, she stared at Ning Xuan, the desire in her eyes completely undisguised.

The pitch-black sky brightened once more. The goat-headed beast and the old turtle’s gazes swept over Ning Xuan and Zhongli Ruoruo as they prepared to choose their respective Human Slaves.

"No! We can’t be separated!" Zhongli Ruoruo cried, throwing her arms around Ning Xuan.

"Ahem, do you have to react so strongly? Tone it down a little," Ning Xuan said, startled by her over-the-top reaction.

"Heh, this is the Tianyang Realm. You’re nothing but lowly slaves. You don’t get a say in the matter!" the goat-headed beast sneered, showing no warmth whatsoever.

"W-wait! He... he’s my man! Two of us won’t be enough for all of you, but if you let us live together, we can make more humans for you."

Although Zhongli Ruoruo was at the Peak of the Emperor Realm, the Turbid Qi pervading this world was extremely hostile to her. Forget unleashing her full power; she couldn’t even protect herself. If she were separated from Ning Xuan, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"That’s an excellent idea!" The goat-headed beast’s eyes lit up, and the old turtle also gave a slight nod.

Immediately, the two of them were about to start butting heads again.

"Don’t fight," Ning Xuan said. "We can spend the daytime at your residence and the nighttime at yours."

His words made both of their eyes light up. The problem was perfectly solved!

The goat-headed beast immediately led Ning Xuan and Zhongli Ruoruo away.

"What about us?" one of the bipedal beasts asked.

"It’s still early," the goat-headed beast replied. "The old turtle and I will discuss it and provide a list later."

"That’s right! Everyone, disperse."

The bipedal beasts were furious but didn’t dare to speak out. One of the two was the most authoritative figure here, while the other was the most powerful. Now that they had formed an alliance, the others could only wait.

In contrast, Ning Xuan turned back with a grin to console them. "Don’t worry, you won’t have to wait long. We’re very efficient!"

The vixen stomped her foot, a move so bewitching it could make one’s head spin.

Zhongli Ruoruo, who was already blushing from Ning Xuan’s comment, tightened her grip on his arm upon seeing this. It made Ning Xuan want to remind her again that her reaction was a bit much!

His mind running wild, Ning Xuan didn’t even register how they arrived at the goat-headed beast’s mansion.

The moment Ning Xuan stepped into the courtyard, which looked no different from a Human Race Mansion, he held out his hand and demanded Divine Crystals before the beast could even speak.

"You!" The goat-headed beast was instantly enraged.

Ning Xuan, however, remained perfectly calm and composed. A single sentence from him was enough to make the creature obediently comply.
