[1] "Five organs and six entrails" (五臟六腑) is a traditional Chinese medicine term for the body's internal organs. Chen Shu is being absurdly dramatic about his fake injuries.
ROAR!
A giant dragon floated in the air, its entire body covered in ice-blue scales. Even its pupils were a deep azure.
Frost continuously billowed from its jaws. Its form bore some resemblance to the Scarlet Flame Dragon, but their attributes were completely opposite.
It was the S-rank Frost Giant Dragon!
Zhu Xuan glanced back and his entire body shuddered violently. He nearly fell off the Black Golden Eagle's back.
What the fuck! What kind of monster did the Zhu family provoke?!
Two S-rank dragon-type contract spirits—this was definitely a top-tier genius from Huaxia Academy!
Blue light blazed in the Frost Giant Dragon's eyes as a blast of freezing frost breath surged forward with incredible speed.
The Black Golden Eagle was instantly engulfed by the frost. Its body stiffened immediately, wings losing power as its speed plummeted.
The Scarlet Flame Dragon seized the opening and swooped in, ramming the eagle head-on.
BOOM!
The two Zhu family members crashed to the ground. But they had no time to worry about their aching bodies—the Scarlet Flame Dragon was looming over them from above.
Its cold, indifferent eyes made their blood run cold. The flames it unconsciously exhaled were already unbearable.
One command from Fang Si, and both of them would die on the spot!
"Wait! Wait! Sister Fang Si! We're fine!"
The battle had been so short that Chen Shu only now managed to react.
Fang Si's two contract spirits were just too overwhelming.
"Uh... we're both fine too."
Zhang Dali also got up. Though he'd taken quite a beating, his hands just hurt a little. No major injuries.
Fang Si whipped around, her expression freezing for a moment before she rushed to their side.
"You're really okay??"
She looked them up and down, her face full of worry.
Chen Shu explained, "This blood is all fake..."
Fang Si's nose twitched. She immediately noticed something was off—how could so much blood have such a faint metallic smell?
Fang Si took a deep breath, her eyes slightly wet as she shouted, "You two dumbasses scared the hell out of me, you know that?!"
WHAM!
Both Chen Shu and Zhang Dali took a punch, then promptly got kicked flying.
"We were wrong! We really know we were wrong!"
The two of them fled with their arms covering their heads. But their eyes held a trace of warmth.
Being cared about really did feel nice!
"Alright! I'll deal with you two later!"
Fang Si turned around and wiped her blurry eyes, returning to her usual domineering demeanor.
"Big bro, big sis, we're about to be roasted dry over here..."
The Zhu family uncle and nephew were too close to the Scarlet Flame Dragon. They felt like their bodies were about to completely dehydrate.
The Scarlet Flame Dragon kept its eyes locked on them, occasionally letting out a puff of flames.
Only then did Fang Si turn to look at them. She commanded the Scarlet Flame Dragon to back off a bit.
If Chen Shu and Zhang Dali had actually been seriously hurt, the two Zhu family members would definitely be dead by now.
But Fang Si would have been finished too. Even a Huaxia Academy genius couldn't escape legal consequences.
"Sister Fang Si..."
Zhang Dali began recounting what had happened.
A few minutes later, Fang Si crossed her arms, her expression turning cold. "You wanted my little brother to pay you two hundred thousand yuan?"
"No, no need, absolutely no need! We were really in the wrong!"
Beads of cold sweat appeared on Zhu Xuan's forehead. He didn't even dare look her in the eye.
They were both Black Iron rank Beast Tamers, but his two contract spirits were only B-rank. He'd been completely dominated.
Though the Zhu family ran a small beast potion business, at best they were just a third-rate faction in the Capital. They couldn't compare to Huaxia Academy in the slightest.
Fang Si turned to face them. "Chen Pi, what do you two have to say?"
The moment her words fell, an agonized scream rang out.
"Owwww!"
Chen Shu and Zhang Dali were rolling around on the ground, looking like they were in unbearable pain.
"Sister Fang Si, my head hurts so bad! I need a hundred Beast Taming Pearls to treat it!"
"Sis, me too! I can't even stand up! I probably need ten Lord-tier fierce beasts to recover..."
"..."
Watching the two of them ham it up, Zhu Xuan and his nephew were completely dumbfounded.
Even if you're gonna extort us, could you at least put in some effort?!
Your head hurts so you need Beast Taming Pearls? What kind of prescription is that?
The other guy is even more ridiculous—his legs hurt so he needs Lord-tier fierce beasts? And since when are those even edible?
A hint of amusement flickered in Fang Si's eyes, but her voice remained cold. "Looks like my two little brothers are seriously injured. Better figure something out."
With that, the Scarlet Flame Dragon let out a low growl and positioned itself right at the competition hall's entrance. The Frost Giant Dragon also flew over, surrounding the Zhu family pair.
The alternating hot and cold made them utterly miserable.
Zhu Xuan gritted his teeth. "We're willing to compensate three hundred thousand for medical expenses!"
"Three hundred thousand?"
Chen Shu's eyes went wide. He pulled another blood packet from his pocket and calmly swallowed a big mouthful.
"My five organs and six entrails are failing..."[1]
SPLURT!
Chen Shu swung his head back and forth like a garden hose, continuously spraying out blood.
"..."
What the fuck! Could you BE any more fake?! You think you're a high-pressure water gun?!
Zhu Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Four Basic-tier Beast Taming Pearls! That's my limit!"
By Old Ghost General Store's prices, four pearls would be four holy craps... wait, six hundred thousand yuan.
Fang Si shook her head, her tone brooking no argument. "Add a Variant-tier fierce beast!"
Zhu Xuan and his nephew didn't even dare object. They could only grit their teeth and nod.
Not only had they failed to get two hundred thousand in compensation, they'd ended up paying out a million instead. They'd lost so badly they didn't even have their underwear left.
As one of the Zhu family's key decision-makers, Zhu Xuan could still mobilize a million yuan worth of resources.
Before long, someone arrived with the compensation items.
"Hehehe..."
Chen Shu and Zhang Dali wore shameless grins as they happily pocketed the goods.
The main value of a Variant fierce beast lay in its internal Beast Taming Pearl and the special organs that could grant skill comprehension.
The three of them left Spirit Chef University, leaving behind the humiliated Zhu family members.
"Uncle, we're just gonna let this go? That girl is so young—our Zhu family doesn't need to be afraid of..."
SMACK!
Zhu Xuan delivered a vicious slap and proceeded to beat the living daylights out of his nephew.
"Doesn't need to be afraid? You noticed she's young, huh? A monster that powerful at her age—you think the Zhu family can mess with that? Even your father would get crushed! You get that?!"
As a Black Iron rank Beast Tamer, Zhu Xuan had never imagined the gap between himself and a true genius could be this vast.
Two dragon-type contract spirits. He'd really had his eyes opened today.
It's over... it's all over...
Just then, outside the Beast Taming Arena, the sound of an ambulance siren approached.
"Where's the injured person?" Medical personnel rushed into the arena.
"Over there!"
Zhu Xuan dusted off his hands and pointed right at Zhu Dabai lying on the ground.
Zhu Dabai lay on the stretcher, feeling utterly aggrieved. The ambulance... was actually called for himself...
