CHAPTER 58: CHAPTER 58 I CAN GIVE YOU

Watching Li Xu and the others leave trembling with fear.

Ye Fei once again returned to the side of the Demon Tiger. His fingers danced swiftly, and before long, the five-meter-tall Demon Tiger was completely skinned and its tendons extracted; even its bones were gone.

After all, as a tiger demon that absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, its entire being was a treasure.

On this Earth, where cultivation resources are exceedingly scarce, Ye Fei was not one to waste anything!

"Haha, this trip was certainly worth it."

With a casual clap, Ye Fei made a cave appear, then entered directly to sort through his gains.

Seeing Ye Fei’s beaming smile, and looking at the pile of bloody tiger meat and bones before him, Youu Cancan couldn’t help but pout and say, "What exactly is so worthwhile? Isn’t it just a pile of meat? If not for feeling nauseous, I really don’t see the value in any of it!"

"Haha, fine, today’s haul is all thanks to you. Let me explain some of its value to you, and you can even choose one item," Ye Fei said, pointing to the tiger meat he had collected with a cheerful expression. "Demon Tiger meat contains the essence of the sun and moon. For ordinary people, consuming it can prolong their life. If refined into pills, it can increase a cultivator’s cultivation by sixty years, making it a supreme treasure for ingestion!"

"Tiger tendons are incredibly tough and can be refined into weapons using special methods!"

"Tiger hide can be made into clothing or talismans. Clothes made from it are fireproof and waterproof, even capable of stopping bullets! Talismans made from it can manipulate fire and water at will!"

"And as for the tiger bones..."

As Ye Fei listed the treasures the Demon Tiger’s remains could yield, Youu Cancan’s small mouth opened wider and wider, her eyes gradually sparkling.

After all, as the Sect Leader of the Thief Sect, Youu Cancan couldn’t possibly dislike riches!

So the previously nauseating pile of bloody remains suddenly became much cuter in her eyes; they were priceless treasures, leaving her unsure of what to choose.

"By the way, what’s that long and thick thing over there?"

Seeing Ye Fei explain every item except one, Youu Cancan couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Ye Fei’s eyebrows twitched slightly the moment he heard her question. "That’s something you probably don’t want to know about!"

"Oh, come on! It must be some sort of treasure since you’re refusing to explain it!"

Youu Cancan laughed. "I get it—you’re probably afraid I’ll take it. Surely, you wouldn’t go back on your word, right?"

"I would never go back on my word," Ye Fei said, amused.

"That’s good to hear! Then I want this! It must be a treasure!" Youu Cancan exclaimed, pointing at the long item.

"Are you certain? Don’t you want to reconsider?" Ye Fei asked, barely holding back his laughter.

The more Ye Fei acted this way, the more Youu Cancan believed the item must be extraordinary. She immediately shook her head firmly and said, "No need to reconsider, I’ve already decided—this is the one!"

"By the way, what kind of treasure is it from the tiger demon? What’s its use?"

As Youu Cancan spoke, she eagerly cradled the long item as though afraid Ye Fei would change his mind.

In the next moment, Youu Cancan was left stunned.

Ye Fei, speaking without any hesitation, explained, "This is the tiger demon’s whip—a Tiger Phallus—a decent treasure, but of course, it’s mainly valuable to men..."

"Ah!!!!"

After sorting through his spoils, Ye Fei led the still-annoyed Youu Cancan down the mountain, ready to leave.

But just as they reached the base of the mountain, they spotted Li Xu and Master Sunx waiting respectfully at the path, seemingly expecting Ye Fei’s arrival.

"Why are you still here?"

Already in a bad mood because of the Tiger Whip incident, Youu Cancan snapped at the sight of Li Xu and the others.

In the past.

A girl like Youu Cancan, talking to them in such a manner? Li Xu and Master Sunx wouldn’t have hesitated to strike her down with a palm.

But now, they could only plaster smiles on their faces, showing no trace of anger.

In their minds, Youu Cancan, traveling with Ye Fei, was most likely his lover. And a lover of such an unmatched and fearsome man? Even the thought of offending her was unthinkable.

What if Youu Cancan whispered sweet nothings to Ye Fei in private? That would seal their doom!

So Li Xu hurriedly said, "Miss Youu, we are... here to discuss something with Mr. Ye!"

"Something? What could it be? Surely it’s no good!" Youu Cancan scoffed.

Li Xu hurried to reply, but Ye Fei simply waved a hand and said, "You are waiting for me here to ask about the Demon Beast Core, aren’t you?"

"You are truly insightful, sir!"

Li Xu immediately responded, "We came for the inner core! To be honest, my cousin is a member of the Taiwan Su Family. The Su Family Patriarch—my great-uncle—is gravely ill and urgently needs the inner core to cure him. May we humbly request it from you?"

As he spoke, Li Xu and Master Sunx bowed deeply to the ground.

The Taiwan Su Family?

Ye Fei furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing this.

It wasn’t that he was unwilling to give away the inner core, but that the Taiwan Su Family sounded somewhat familiar—he just couldn’t place it at the moment.

Seeing Ye Fei remain silent, Li Xu and Master Sunx did not dare to rise, standing there and waiting.

At this point, Su Mai stepped forward, took a deep breath, and said, "Ye Fei, I was rude earlier. But strictly speaking in terms of business, name your price."

"Name my price?"

Ye Fei smirked coldly.

While Su Mai’s attitude was certainly more restrained now compared to how she had behaved on the mountain, it was clear this change was due to Li Xu and Master Sunx’s warnings. She had realized the gravity of her situation.

Yet even so, her innate arrogance hadn’t truly disappeared.

Such matters didn’t bother Ye Fei. After all, the inner core held little worth to him and was nowhere near as effective as the Vitality Pill he could refine.

So Ye Fei calmly said, "Fine! I can give it to you. As for the cost..."

Before Ye Fei could finish speaking, Su Mai impatiently interrupted, "The Su Family is the foremost family in Taiwan, wealthy beyond measure. If you hand over the inner core, the Su Family guarantees you will be satisfied with the price!"

Ye Fei, seeing her behavior, responded coolly, "If that’s the case, then the price is one hundred..."

"One million? Done! No problem!"

Su Mai internally sneered with disdain—what a bumpkin!

To obtain such an inner core, the Su Family had already expended countless manpower and resources.

A hundred million wouldn’t secure it, yet Ye Fei was asking for merely one million? What a fool!

While speaking, Su Mai reached for her exquisite purse and pulled out a stack of checks, contemplating whether to add another zero and write ten million to slap Ye Fei’s face with it.

It’d be the perfect revenge for her humiliation on the mountain while also bringing Ye Fei down a notch.

As for whether Ye Fei would retaliate? Su Mai didn’t even consider it.

Someone who valued the inner core at just one million? If she gave him ten million, surely he would be grateful!

Meanwhile, Youu Cancan looked at Ye Fei’s offer of one million with envy.

After all, she didn’t fully understand the inner core’s true worth. Seeing Ye Fei skin and strip the Demon Tiger completely and then exchange a small inner core for one million? That was undeniably a profit!

But just as Su Mai prepared to finalize the deal, Ye Fei spoke again, his tone icy, "One hundred years! Your Su Family will serve as my slaves for a hundred years, and then I may consider handing the inner core over to you."
