Divine War Pill Emperor

After a night of Cultivation, Jiang Chen opened his eyes at dawn.

The first thing he saw was a petite figure holding a broom, sweeping the floor.

The broom was taller than she was, and Jiang Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"Xixi, what are you doing?"

Jiang Chen asked.

Little Xixi stopped sweeping and said to Jiang Chen, "Daddy, I’m sweeping."

"Is it clean?"

Not wanting to discourage Xixi, Jiang Chen nodded. "Clean."

Little Xixi was delighted.

She went back to cleaning.

From then on, a three-year-old girl was always by Jiang Chen’s side. This little girl was willing to do any chore and was incredibly sensible.

But she would only listen to Jiang Chen, and no one else.

Little Xixi’s petite and adorable figure, like that of an Angel, could also be found inside Chenxi Pavilion.

Everyone at Chenxi Pavilion adored Little Xixi.

Jiang Chen watched her diligently working form, lost in thought.

Inside the shop, many of the customers also adored Little Xixi.

A problem weighed on Jiang Chen’s mind. Little Xixi’s background was clearly extraordinary, but he couldn’t figure out her origins for the life of him.

The seemingly adorable Little Xixi gave him a strange feeling.

He was now certain that Little Xixi had no family.

For such a small, defenseless girl to appear in Xingyuan City, she had to be carrying some kind of secret.

He pulled Little Xixi aside and asked, "How did you end up in Xingyuan City?"

Little Xixi thought for a moment before saying, "Xixi doesn’t know either."

"The first thing I knew, I was meeting you, Daddy."

Jiang Chen didn’t know if Little Xixi was telling the truth or not.

He patted Xixi’s little head.

He walked out of Chenxi Pavilion and went back to the spot where he’d found Xixi, but he still couldn’t find anything out of the ordinary.

’Could it be that Little Xixi really did appear in Xingyuan City out of thin air?’

He frowned and returned to Chenxi Pavilion.

Just then, a dashing young master appeared on Celestial Water Street. Dressed in a purple brocade robe and waving a fan, he strode along with great flair, followed by several attendants.

Each of the attendants emanated a powerful aura.

Many people scrambled to get out of his way upon seeing him.

"It’s him again! The Zuo Family’s Eighth Young Master, Zuo Tu."

"Dammit, that menace is back. I wonder which family he’s going to plague this time."

"Let’s go, quick! Don’t let that menace find an excuse to mess with us."

Zuo Tu was from Xingyuan City’s Artifact Refining Family, the Zuo Family.

Although he was called the Eighth Young Master, he was actually just a member of a branch of the Zuo Family; his status wasn’t particularly high.

But he was a member of the Zuo Family, after all. And in Xingyuan City, and even the entire Tang Kingdom, the Zuo Family was an incredibly formidable power. Ordinary people wouldn’t dare to provoke them.

Zuo Tu burst out laughing when he saw the crowd scattering before him.

"Heh, it seems that wherever I go, chaos follows."

"Interesting. I like this feeling."

He deliberately put on a ferocious expression, which naturally made the crowd flee even faster.

However, Zuo Tu’s target clearly wasn’t the passersby.

He asked an attendant beside him, "Which shop on Celestial Water Street is doing the best business lately?"

The attendant hurried to answer, "Eighth Young Master, you may not have heard."

"Right now, if you’re asking which shop on Celestial Water Street has the best business, it would have to be the newly opened Chenxi Pavilion."

"Ever since Chenxi Pavilion opened, it’s swept up nearly fifty percent of the profits on Celestial Water Street. They can’t be underestimated."

Another attendant chimed in, "That’s right. No one knows how Chenxi Pavilion pulled it off. Not only is their business booming, but they somehow got their hands on a Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact to sell, and they blew up in Xingyuan City overnight."

"They’re unstoppable."

Zuo Tu’s eyes lit up at once.

But then, he barked, "Nonsense! In Xingyuan City, it’s our Zuo Family’s business that’s the best, naturally."

"How can Chenxi Pavilion even compare to our Zuo Family?"

The attendant hastily replied, "Of course Chenxi Pavilion can’t compare to the Zuo Family! Next to the Zuo Family, Chenxi Pavilion is nothing but a pile of... shit."

Only then did Zuo Tu nod in satisfaction.

In truth, the Zuo Family’s Magical Treasure business dominated the market in Xingyuan City, and even in the entire Tang Kingdom.

The only other major player was the Han Family.

As for Chenxi Pavilion, the Zuo Family didn’t even give it a second thought.

At this moment, however, Zuo Tu’s eyes were glinting.

He gave a wicked grin. "Now that you put it that way, this young master is actually quite interested in this Chenxi Pavilion."

"Come on, let’s go check out Chenxi Pavilion."

Soon, Zuo Tu arrived outside Chenxi Pavilion with his attendants. The sight that greeted them left even Zuo Tu rather astonished.

Seeing the bustling crowd coming and going from Chenxi Pavilion, Zuo Tu remarked in admiration, "So this is Chenxi Pavilion. Their business really is impressive."

"Interesting. Let’s go in and see."

Soon, he led his attendants into Chenxi Pavilion.

After looking around Chenxi Pavilion, he saw that its Magical Treasures were selling briskly. However, most of them were just ordinary Dharma Artifacts, with very few Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifacts in sight.

Clearly, he didn’t know that Chenxi Pavilion’s Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifacts had already sold out.

Still, Zuo Tu could see that Chenxi Pavilion’s business was indeed excellent.

An idea began to form in his mind.

Approaching the counter, Zuo Tu said to Xiao Jun, "Have your boss come out and see me."

He was extremely arrogant; after all, Zuo Tu was a member of the Zuo Family.

He was also a Martial King Expert, which meant he could do as he pleased in Xingyuan City.

Anyone who met him had to show him a great deal of respect.

Therefore, Zuo Tu didn’t give a damn about the owner of Chenxi Pavilion. With a haughty air, his words to Xiao Jun were more of a command than a request.

Xiao Jun was displeased. "And who do you think you are? Our boss doesn’t just meet anyone who asks."

"If you’re not here for business, step aside."

He paid people like this no mind; he’d seen his fair share of daily troublemakers.

At this, Zuo Tu’s expression immediately darkened.

He said coldly, "Brat, you don’t know who I am, do you?"

"You should ask around and find out who the Eighth Young Master of Xingyuan City is."

Xiao Jun clearly had no idea who this so-called "Eighth Young Master" was. He waved his hand dismissively.

"Get lost. If you don’t leave, I won’t be so polite."

Zuo Tu flew into a rage and snarled, "Brat, you dare to be insolent with me?"

"I’m the Eighth Young Master of the Zuo Family! The Zuo Family, you understand?"

"I really can’t be bothered with an ant like you. Get your boss out here. I have business to discuss with him."

When Xiao Jun heard he was from the Zuo Family, he froze for a second.

The Zuo Family. In Xingyuan City, the Zuo Family’s power was immense.

He understood, more or less, what the Zuo Family represented.

But faced with this self-proclaimed Eighth Young Master, he wasn’t sure what to do, so he immediately went to report the matter to Jiang Chen.

Upon hearing the report, Jiang Chen came out.

He looked at Zuo Tu.

He frowned and asked, "Are you looking for me?"

Zuo Tu shot Jiang Chen a sidelong glance and said contemptuously, "You’re the owner of Chenxi Pavilion?"

Jiang Chen didn’t want to provoke the Zuo Family either, so he was slightly more polite.

"I am. If you have business, state it."

Zuo Tu nodded.

Then he said arrogantly, "Since you’re the owner of Chenxi Pavilion, I have a matter to discuss with you."

"It’s simple. You give me, Zuo Tu, half of Chenxi Pavilion’s profits, and I’ll consider letting your shop stay open."

"Otherwise, I can have Chenxi Pavilion shut down today."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen almost laughed.

He looked at Zuo Tu as if he were an idiot.

"Are you still dreaming?"

But Zuo Tu maintained his high-and-mighty demeanor.

"Heh, I won’t waste any more words. I’m just asking you: do you agree or not?"

Jiang Chen extended a hand, pointing outside.

"You can leave now."

"I won’t see you out!"

With a snort, Zuo Tu sneered, "So you’d rather do this the hard way. By refusing me, you’ve also refused an opportunity."

"Very well. In that case, you just wait. I’ll have this place shut down today."
