Chapter 244 The King of Biyan Beasts
Tu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes: "Uncle Hua, what are you saying? The Tu family is already too busy on West Street, what would we need businesses on South Street for?"
"Hahaha, that makes sense." Uncle Hua laughed heartily: "I heard that a God of Wealth appeared on West Street yesterday and bought out many shops. That God of Wealth also came to South Street. The manager of Jinyulou received her and accepted a tip of twenty dollars."
He took a sip of tea and gestured for Shen Yao to drink some as well: "I presume that God of Wealth is Miss Shen?"
Tu Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Yao in surprise, thinking, "You did all this? What else did you do yesterday afternoon and evening? How could you be so reckless?"
Shen Yao modestly replied, "No, no, I just haven't been shopping in a long time, so I'm just browsing around."
Uncle Hua chuckled and teased her for being generous, then began to subtly probe her about her father's situation and her background.
After Shen Yao gave a few perfunctory replies, Uncle Hua continued to dig deeper and ask probing questions, which annoyed her.
Fire signs are straightforward and hate it when people talk in riddles or beat around the bush.
She put down her teacup, straightened her back, and said frankly, "You don't need to test me anymore. I'm not afraid to tell you, my father and I come from beyond the heavens, and my father is the Celestial Emperor."
The room was completely silent. The Hua family cultivators were so shocked that they froze in place, as if they had been frozen in place.
Tu Xiaoxiao already knew that her father was a Celestial Emperor, but she was also shocked that they came from the legendary Outer Heavens…
Shen Yao stood up, disregarding the thoughts of the Hua family cultivators, and said in a loud voice: "We in the Outer Heaven have a saying: Wealth and honor cannot corrupt us, poverty and hardship cannot sway us, and power and force cannot subdue us."
"Cultivators should occupy the rightful place in the world and follow the great path of the world."
Her aura was completely different from before. She looked down arrogantly at the cultivators in the room: "Do you know why there have been no gods in your world since the fall of the true god?"
The cultivators were speechless, not daring to breathe. This was an attempt to pry into the secrets of heaven, something they did not know and could not guess.
Shen Yao sat down and tapped the contract on the table: "With the fall of the true god, the world is in chaos. The strong have no concern for the common people, are selfish and reckless. How can they cultivate to become gods?"
"Slap." She slapped the contract with her right hand: "Lust is the root of all evil. How can one become a god by providing places of debauchery for profit?"
She leaned back in her chair, her imposing manner subdued, and said casually, as if making a casual remark: "You don't know, there is a Yama's Palace in the Outer Heavens, which is in charge of the souls of all living beings in various worlds, and arranges their reincarnation based on their merits in their previous lives."
"Second Uncle Hua, I've heard that when cultivators in this world are reincarnated, they retain their memories. As an elder, how many reincarnated souls have you seen?"
When asked by her, Uncle Hua came to his senses, thought for a moment, and replied, "I've rarely heard of it, and I've never seen it."
Shen Yao: "Do you know why?"
Uncle Hua shook his head: "I don't know, please enlighten me, Miss Shen."
Shen Yao: "There are countless worlds beyond the heavens. Many of them lack spiritual energy and are unsuitable for cultivation. But your world is already blessed by the Heavenly Dao, a world where cultivators can cultivate."
“Cultivators below the Immortal Realm cannot be reincarnated because of their limited lifespan and the inability to accumulate enough merit to choose a new world.”
"Those who are recognized as strong above the Immortal Realm do not know how to appreciate the blessings of Heaven. Their every word and deed is recorded in the Yama Palace. If their merits are insufficient, they will naturally not be able to return."
Another elder in the Hua family voiced his doubts: "How do we know that what Miss Shen said is true?"
Shen Yao looked troubled: "Well... I really can't prove it."
After saying so much, she felt a little thirsty and reached out to pour herself some tea, only to find that Tu Xiaoxiao had already poured it for her.
She drank her tea and said nonchalantly, "Believe it or not, it's all just idle chatter anyway."
The atmosphere in the room was really awkward, so Uncle Hua broke the silence with a smile: "It is said that cultivators from the Outer Heavens all have extraordinary abilities, and I'm sure Miss Shen does too."
This is a test for her. Shen Yao said, "I only have one ability and no other skills. If you can find a ferocious beast, I can prove it to you."
Where could they find a ferocious beast for her at this time?
Uncle Hua said, "Ferocious beasts are rare and difficult to catch, but the Hua family's beast farm has a Biyan Beast King, which is no less formidable than a ferocious beast. Miss Shen, could you use it?"
Biyan Beast is one of the most ferocious types of advanced exotic beasts, and the Beast King is the most ferocious of all.
Shen Yao: "Can you bring it in a cage?"
Uncle Hua gave his follower a token: "Go and bring the Biyan Beast King."
It would take some time for the Biyan Beast King to arrive, so Hua Yi led them to the main hall, prepared food and wine, and arranged for music and dance. The cultivators temporarily set aside other matters and drank and enjoyed the dance for about half an hour before the attendants returned from outside the hall.
After the unrelated cultivators withdrew, the attendant came to the center of the hall, put down the small beast cage in his hand, and the beast cage gradually grew larger as it hit the ground, turning into a huge beast cage.
The cage, over two zhang high, contained a massive lion-faced beast.
The Biyan Beast King has blue-gold eyes, a gray-white body, no hair, and its skin is raised in orderly patches, gleaming with a diamond-like light, and looks as hard as diamond.
The Biyan Beast King was extremely agitated in its cage, constantly ramming against the cage pillars, spewing golden beast fire at the cultivators present, and launching spiritual attacks.
However, the attacks of the Biyan Beast King were all contained within the cage, unable to harm the cultivators outside the cage in the slightest.
Uncle Hua gestured: "Miss Shen, please."
The beast king was kept in the beast farm, clearly to make money for the Hua family. Shen Yao remained seated and asked, "Would you feel bad if I killed it?"
"Hahahaha..." Uncle Hua Er burst into laughter, and the Hua family elders who were with him also laughed. The Hua family cultivators present all looked at her with mocking eyes.
Tu Xiaoxiao whispered, "This Biyan Beast King was captured by the Dragon Clan Demon Lord at the request of the Hua Clan Head."
Shen Yao asked softly, "You don't believe I can kill it?"
Tu Xiaoxiao swallowed back what she wanted to say: "I believe you."
Uncle Hua stopped laughing and said to Shen Yao in an elder's tone, "Little girl, the Biyan Beast King has extremely high defense and its skin is exceptionally hard and difficult to break. Even if the Demon Lord wanted to kill it, it would take a lot of effort. You only have seven spiritual roots. Even if you unleash all your spiritual power, you still can't break its skin."
Shen Yao didn't care about their ridicule at all: "I don't use spiritual power."
The cultivators were surprised again, and their laughter stopped. Hua Yi asked in confusion, "Sister Shen, you didn't use spiritual power? How did you kill him?"
Shen Yao smiled mysteriously and picked up the contract: "How about we make another bet?"
This scene was all too familiar. Last night, when she made the bet, she had the same expression of certain victory. Hua Yi dared not agree rashly and turned her gaze to Uncle Hua.
Uncle Hua was genuinely curious: "What are you betting on?"
Shen Yao: "I killed it with one blow. From now on, Drunken Beauty is mine, and you have no right to interfere."
Uncle Hua declined with displeasure: "Miss Shen's bet is far too high."
Shen Yao: "Then give me half of the management rights, according to my rules, no questions asked about profits or losses, for a permanent term."
She added, "Of course, I won't let your Hua family suffer losses. If you do, it's all on me."
Uncle Hua: "Miss Shen wants something this big, what will she offer as an equivalent wager?"
Shen Yao directly betrayed her father: "Last night, Young Master Hua bet that I would be his maid for three hundred years. If I lose today, my father and I will both come to your Hua family and be at your beck and call for five hundred years."
