Chapter 1618 - 104: Homecoming! The Wang Family’s Talent Pool Grows_3
"Green Phoenix senior, you’re joking," Wang Shouzhe said. "You still owe our Wang family so much money; how can you sneak away like that? Besides, lodging at the Immortal Residence isn’t free, and the Spirit Rice meals have to be accounted for as well."
"You...!" The Green Phoenix Demon Emperor’s phoenix eyes flared with anger as she retorted furiously, "You’re nothing but a bandit!"
"Green Phoenix senior, I’m merely repaying like with like," Wang Shouzhe said with a leisurely smile. "When senior was stealing and robbing those shops, why not call yourself a bandit then?"
"You’ve long searched and stripped me clean, even plucking out many of my yet-to-shed tail feathers. You didn’t even spare my spilled blood!" The Green Phoenix Demon Emperor snapped, "With what do you expect me to repay now?"
"No need to worry if you can’t pay. Take a look at this labor contract instead." Only then did Wang Shouzhe produce a contract. "You just need to work for our Wang family for seven hundred years. Not only will all the compensation be covered by our Wang family, but you’ll also receive annual Spirit Rice subsidies worth three hundred thousand Immortal Crystals."
"You... You want me to sell myself to the Wang family?" The Green Phoenix Demon Emperor’s face turned ashen. "Aren’t you afraid I’ll shirk my duties or even turn on your Wang family?"
"Actually, I’m not worried about that." Wang Shouzhe replied righteously, "Green Phoenix senior isn’t a solitary individual; in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, there’s a huge flock of Bird Tribe members who revere you as their Old Ancestor."
While Wang Shouzhe and the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor were talking.
Inside LiuXian Residence No. 1, four Transcendent Void Realm experts—ZhaoYang Wangfu, Emperor Longchang, and Master Jiang—were in perfect synchronization, spying and eavesdropping using the Secret Technique of Water Mirror.
The reasons they gave were entirely dignified, saying it was "to ensure Shouzhe’s safety." After all, the opponent was an eleven-level peak Demon Emperor. Even without her Mysterious Energy, her physical strength was formidable. If she decided to lash out violently, how could Shouzhe’s frail little frame possibly resist?
