Chapter 4729
“Let’s fight, but if I end up injuring your mount, don’t hold it against me, Fellow Daoist Chen!”
Mo Shaying clasped his fists as he spoke.
“No, no, but if you get hurt, don’t blame me instead!” Kai waved his hands dismissively.
After all, the Sky Devouring Beast wasn’t truly his, and it never listened to him anyway. If it did get injured, the one who would feel distressed was the Red Cloud Demon Lord!
“Don’t worry, I won’t get hurt…”
As soon as Mo Shaying finished speaking, his figure vanished, shooting straight toward the little Sky Devouring Beast.
He wasn’t called Mo Shaying for nothing—his speed was so fast that even his shadow was barely visible!
But just as he moved, the little Sky Devouring Beast seemed to sense something. Without hesitation, it opened its mouth!
A massive suction force erupted, pulling Mo Shaying straight into its stomach!
Kai and the others barely had time to react. They hadn’t even seen Mo Shaying’s shadow before he completely disappeared!
“Where is he? Where did Shadow Man go?” Hua Zhangweng blurted out in shock.
Lin Kefan and Kai frantically looked around, but there wasn’t a single trace of Mo Shaying.
Then, Kai’s gaze landed on the slightly bulging belly of the little Sky Devouring Beast. A realization struck him, and he rushed over!
“Spit him out! Spit him out right now! He’s not an enemy—he’s my friend!”
Kai shook the little beast anxiously, shouting at it.
A moment later, the Sky Devouring Beast opened its mouth and spat out Mo Shaying!
At that moment, Mo Shaying was barely clinging to life, his entire body drenched in thick mucus. He coughed uncontrollably, looking utterly miserable.
“That was terrifying… absolutely terrifying…” he muttered, his eyes filled with horror, as if he’d just experienced the most nightmarish ordeal of his life.
Lin Kefan and Hua Zhangweng were equally stunned—they hadn’t even seen how Mo Shaying was swallowed in the first place!
“You okay? I told you not to do it, but you just had to try. Almost got yourself killed!”
Kai looked at Mo Shaying and couldn’t help but laugh.
Lin Kefan looked at Kai, his eyes burning with desire. “Brother Chen, you have two mounts—it seems like such a waste. I was wondering if you could…”
“No,” Kai interrupted before Lin Kefan could finish. “My mounts have already recognized their master.”
He knew exactly what this guy was up to—trying to take one of his mounts again!
Without another word, Kai recalled the little Fire Qilin and the Sky Devouring Beast, then turned to Mo Shaying. “You’d better clean yourself up quickly… you stink.”
Truthfully, Kai had only wanted to show off a little, letting Lin Kefan and the others witness his strength.
But as for giving anything away? No way.
A few elixirs or fairy stones were fine, but the treasures on his body? Those were untouchable!
After Kai left, Lin Kefan and the others were already looking at him with pure admiration.
After all, if someone possessed so many treasures, there was no need to question their identity or background.
“Damn, my brother-in-law really has some serious backing. Even I haven’t seen all the good stuff he has.”
“But he’s a little stingy… Didn’t give me a single thing. Oh well, it doesn’t matter. Once my sister gets married, I’ll make sure he gives me more gifts.”
“If he doesn’t keep me happy, I won’t let the wedding happen. Let’s see if he hands them over then!”
Lin Kefan smirked to himself, as if it was only a matter of time before those treasures became his.
Two Days Later
Xing Daorong personally delivered the fairy stones to Kai.
Kai knew that even if Xing Daorong brought them, it wouldn’t be a large amount—certainly not 100,000. To avoid any unwanted attention, he chose to meet Xing Daorong outside the Xiao Dynasty’s borders.
“Mr. Chen, you asked me to bring the fairy stones, so I came as fast as I could without stopping…”
Xing Daorong was drenched in sweat.
Without an airship, he had relied solely on his spiritual power to travel such a long distance, and the energy cost had been immense!
“You’ve worked hard,” Kai said, taking the storage bag. Then he asked, “How many fairy stones are inside?”
“One hundred thousand,” Xing Daorong replied.
“One hundred thousand?!”
Kai’s body stiffened in shock. “Holy shit! Where did so many fairy stones come from?!”
