NOVEL NEXT Chapter 63: I am here to pick it up
Li Smith Shop
The Liqi clan members got back from their killing spree of a night. Despite their causing a ruckus in the Ye household, killing the inner branch members of the family was not an easy task.
Being one of the oldest clans in the Shizi Empire, their strength was backed up by some experts as well, along the years.
Aside from revenge and venting their frustrations, they wanted to get the treasured medicine from the Ye family storage house which caused their current predicament.
Sadly, there was no Peacock Flesh flower anywhere! This means either someone got it before them or the Ye family was lying.
It's easier to believe that they had been lied to. Though they were not able to kill any from the main family, they are at least able to almost wipe out the lower branch.
'This is enough for the meantime', some thought. Those who thought the same had an evil glint in their eyes. Once their young master is saved, they would go back in full force and much better prepared!
What could a mortal family do to them? If not for the domain restriction law, they would have already used their deadliest cards.
"No problem. There are loopholes for all restrictions." One of the older Liqi clan members said. Everyone nodded in agreement with him.
All who got back showed their spoils and had them placed in one pile. They were now all in the underground area of the Li Smith shop.
Some brought back gold and silver coins, jade items, spiritual weapons, pills, herbs, and many more things.
Everyone looked at the pile. They would normally split the loot among everyone, but not this time. These were supposed to be for the expert in the Gao family, whom they had offended.
"Brothers…" Yin Bai called out to the underground area. He could see his brother's disappointment in not keeping their hard-worked stuff.
Liqi clan members were known professionals at what they were good at. It should not have been a problem if they had not underestimated the mortal domain.
Releasing a deep breath, "Never mind. There is always a next time." One decided to break the silence. "Young master, how do you plan to offer this to the expert."
Yin Bai planned to wait for Gao Lan Mei before bargaining with the treasures that they had.
"No need to wonder. I am here to pick it up." A childish voice interrupted. Then a little brown sparrow flew next to the pile of treasures.
One moment the sparrow looks like any normal bird. Next, its mouth became bigger than its head, a black vortex appeared in front of its body.
The wind from the black vortex acted like a vacuum, swallowing all that was close to it. Even the Liqi clan members near the pile felt that the strong pressure wanted to suck them up.
Feeling threatened, they immediately moved back, then grabbed the sturdiest part of the pillar that supported the underground area.
They could only watch the little brown sparrow swallow the pile until nothing was left, "Ah! Thank you for the food!" Feng Ji said after a satisfied burp.
'You are supposed to be here to pick it up! Not eat it!' Yin Bai was dumbfounded. The others also thought the same but were not able to voice it out. They were just speechless.
They'd never heard of a spiritual beast that could eat the way it did! Specially with its small body!
