Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 376: She Will Be the Owner of This Building from Now On, Who Agrees? Who Disagrees?
"Young Master, be careful!" Ding Qianyan's beautiful face drained of color.
The next moment, she blinked, her pretty face filled with confusion as Ning Xuan disappeared from her sight.
"Elder, there's no need to be so hot-tempered."
The moment his voice rang out, all the high-ranking members of the Righteous Alliance turned around in unison. They saw Ning Xuan's back! In front of him, the family head who had attacked was trembling violently.
HISS!
A chorus of sharp gasps filled the area. All the experts were utterly shocked. They had no idea how Ning Xuan had gotten free! What was terrifying was that just a moment ago, Ning Xuan had been right in front of them. Now, as if he had torn through space itself, he had reappeared behind them.
What frightening speed!
THUMP!
In front of Ning Xuan, that family head suddenly fell to his knees, his voice trembling. "Young... Young Master, please spare my life. I am willing to offer my entire clan as compensation for the debt."
He hadn't wanted to submit, either, but an inexplicable aura had locked onto him. He couldn't break free, no matter what. With just a thought from his opponent, his body and soul would be obliterated! A wretched life was better than a glorious death. What was begging for mercy if it meant he could live? If he could, he would even kowtow and call Ning Xuan 'Father' right here and now!
"Ouyang, you mustn't do this!"
"Right! Get up, how can we—"
The men who spoke, who were on good terms with the patriarch, tried to dissuade him. But neither could finish. Their words caught in their throats as a hand landed on each of their shoulders!
Ning Xuan's height gave him an advantage. With an arm slung over each of their shoulders, he looked as if he were just being friendly. The two men, however, were as stiff as boards, daring not to even breathe. Ning Xuan's fingertips were pointed at their necks. In their perception, those were not fingertips, but a sharp and unparalleled Peerless Divine Sword! Any slight movement, and their heads would roll!
"Young... Young Master, you've misunderstood. I hadn't finished speaking. I was going to say, how could we be so petty? We should think of more ways to secure benefits for you, Young Master, since your visit is a rare honor."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, yes, that's right! That's exactly it!" the other man immediately chimed in.
"How thoughtful of you both. If I'd known you were so kind, I would have come much sooner," Ning Xuan said with an air of regret.
"It's not too late, not too late at all." The two men forced smiles, their eyes darting nervously toward Ning Xuan's hand. A Divine Sword at his fingertips... a terrifying thought.
The remaining high-ranking members wore grave expressions, their hearts filled with terror. Ning Xuan's speed and power were beyond their imagination. In the blink of an eye, he had effortlessly subdued three experts. How the hell are we supposed to fight this?! Their expressions shifted constantly as they all began to contemplate retreating.
Behind him, Ding Qianyan, dressed in a stylish business suit, couldn't help but press her long, slender legs together. A faint blush crept onto her cheeks as she gazed at Ning Xuan, her eyes smoldering.
This wicked boy... he's truly irresistible!
"I've got it! Young Master, our family also has shares in this building. I've decided to transfer them to you!" Wenren Yunshang suddenly declared.
Damn it! You bastard! Your bootlicking skills are truly in a class of their own! Now that they were already a step behind Wenren Yunshang, the others refused to be left in the dust.
One after another, they all chimed in.
"I am willing too!"
"Me too!"
"I... I... I'm also wi-willing!" One of the family heads was so nervous he started to stutter.
Behind them, Ding Qianyan's small, cherry-like mouth gaped open, wide enough to fit a fist. Her own fists were clenched tight, her delicate body trembling slightly, and her pretty face was flushed as red as blood. She was beyond excited.
It was no exaggeration to say that if all these experts united, the entire Yao Guang region would tremble. And yet, what was the result? Faced with a young man younger than their own grandsons, they had all become grandsons themselves!
Regaining her composure, Ding Qianyan clasped her hands before her chest, her eyes curving into joyful crescents. Nanling Xiu, I really have to thank you for sending me to my Young Master!
"You're the ones who said it. I didn't force you," Ning Xuan said from the front, shamelessly playing innocent after getting his way.
"What are you saying, Young Master? Of course we're willing!"
"Indeed! It is our good fortune that you are willing to take over this building." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"Right, Young Master, I'll go get the deed immediately."
"Young Master, this way, please."
"Young Master, please take the seat of honor."
"..."
Surrounded by the fawning high-ranking members of the Righteous Alliance, Ning Xuan let them lead him, dazed, to the seat of honor at the head of the table.
During this time, it wasn't as if no one considered making a malicious move against him. But the moment the thought even began to form, they were horrified to find themselves locked down by a terrifying aura. Beneath that pressure, they were nothing more than ants! With a single thought from him, their bodies and souls would be obliterated!
This is too terrifying!
Cold sweat immediately soaked their underclothes, and they no longer dared to harbor any rebellious thoughts.
To do so would mean death!
At Ning Xuan's beckoning, Ding Qianyan trotted to his side and, without needing to be told, began massaging his shoulders.
Across the room, the high-ranking members of the Righteous Alliance all wished they could slap themselves.
How could we be so foolish, so unobservant! Look at that, a young woman beat us to it!
Just as the others were wallowing in regret, the family head who had gone to fetch the deed returned. "Young Master, the deed is here." He respectfully placed a box on the table, took out the deed, and offered it to Ning Xuan with both hands.
"Give it to her," Ning Xuan said, eyes still closed as he enjoyed the massage, showing no intention of taking it himself.
The family head immediately turned to Ding Qianyan.
Ding Qianyan hurriedly accepted it with respect, then spoke tentatively, "Young… Young Master, you should keep it yourself. It's… it's too precious."
Although the deed was light, the pressure she felt was immense. This building had been standing for a long time, but even now, her first feeling upon seeing it each day was still disbelief. That was why she was so cautious, so terrified of making a single mistake, always afraid she might be fired one day. And now... she was actually holding the deed to the entire building in her hands.
"Why would I keep it? It's yours now," Ning Xuan said, still not opening his eyes.
Ding Qianyan was stunned. The surrounding experts exchanged puzzled glances, suspecting they had misheard.
"Young… Young Master, please don't joke with your servant." Ding Qianyan took a deep breath, feeling the deed in her hands burn even hotter.
"What, you don't fancy this building?" Ning Xuan finally opened his eyes.
Ding Qianyan was dumbstruck.
The high-ranking members of the Righteous Alliance were dumbstruck as well.
Although this building was a product of the Bi Luo Palace, it had been built with the fortunes of countless experts and their families. Yet Ning Xuan was just giving it away!
Is he out of his mind?!
"Young Master, you can't do this!"
"Young Master, this building holds a special significance! You absolutely cannot give it to this girl!"
"This girl is indeed endearing. Young Master, how about this? I will arrange for a separate manor to be gifted to her."
"..."
Others wanted to speak up, but when Ning Xuan's gaze swept over them, the words died on their lips.
Seeing this, Ning Xuan leaned back in his chair, propping his crossed legs up on the long table. His lazy voice echoed, "From now on, she is the owner of this building. Who agrees? Who objects?"
