The Steward Demonic Emperor

take back your life any time we want to.” 

“Ha-ha-ha, being nice is all up to me.
You have saved me but don’t need to worry about it.
As for taking back the life you just saved, only I decide how I go down.”

Zhuo Fan sneered with a glint in his eyes, “I, Z- Gu Yifan, never owed anyone any favors.
I’ll make sure to return this grand gesture at the first chance.
So thank you for all the trouble these days, but now it’s time to leave.
May we meet again!”

Zhuo Fan grabbed Gu Santong’s hand and stunned the two with his actions.

Zhui’er was stumped by the nerve of this guy, having just been saved from certain death.
Then he started being all cocky-like, as if it was these two’s endless glory for saving him!

Murong Xue was stunned and sighed, “Not nice at all.”

“Eh?”

Zhuo Fan exclaimed having noticed the smooth arm of Gu Santong, with not even a scar on it to show his past suffering, “W-what’s going on? Young Sanzi…”

Zhui’er found the leverage to snap back, “Young miss, in her infinite mercy, had brought this poor child back.
He is unconscious but stable.
What a pity, the young one is such an innocent creature, while the elder one is so vile.
Young miss saved the wrong person.”

“Thank you!”

Zhuo Fan forwent his rude attitude and thanked, “I don’t matter, but you’ve done me a great favor for saving my son.
Any request you may have, I will fulfill it, no questions asked.”

Murong Xue sook and nodded, “Sir is quite peculiar, but fond of his son.
This proves your heart still has some good in it.
My only reward is for you to come back on the straight and narrow.”

[Ugh, good?]

Zhuo Fan’s face twitched. 

[I thought you were joking.
I’ve been evil all my life.
I have no clue what good is.
How does it even work?]

“Young miss, he’s getting off too easy.
Just look how cocky he was, it’d be a shame not to ask for anything.”

Luckily, Zhui’er stepped in to clarify it all, holding out her hand, “Since you wanna pay, then pay your fees.”

Zhuo Fan chuckled and nodded, “As it is right.
How much?”

“Just a smidgen, ten million sacred stones.” Zhui’er sported a vile grin.

Zhuo Fan flinched, “Why so expensive? What kind of pills did you use?”

Not like he couldn’t pay, but that he was stunned.
Even without the fees as an excuse, he’d still give ten million as it was only right.

Those dead rocks meant nothing when young Sanzi’s life was concerned.

Zhui’er misunderstood completely, of course, thinking so many zeros scared him and laughed, “You can’t, can you, you penniless! I bet you don’t even know what sacred stones look like.
Then just give me all you have, even though it’s hardly anything of worth.”

“Zhui’er!” Murong Xue admonished.

Zhuo Fan spoke, “Miss Zhui’er, I can give you that much, but I’m curious what kind of drug you used that is so valuable.
If it’s not the drug, then I can still pay it as favor for saving us.”

“You think we’re lying?”

Zhui’er huffed, taking out a gourd and showing it to him, “You know what’s inside? Miracle drug, North Sea Gel.
If not, listen well.
It’s a valuable recovery medicine even in northern lands.
We had to spend ten million sacred stones to get this little and used almost all on your son.
Isn’t it normal for you to pay at least that much?”

Sniffing the gourd, Zhuo Fan frowned.

North Sea Gel? 

[There’s no mention of it in the Nine Serenities Secret Records.
Is it from the mortal domain? But to save young Sanzi, it has to be miraculous.]

He smiled at Zhui’er, “Miss, since you only have a little left, give it to me for my son and I’ll give you twenty million to make up for it.”

“Ha-ha, twenty million? I bet you don’t have spirit stones as much.”

“That’s not the issue here.
Will you accept?” Zhuo Fan asked.

Zhui’er raised her head, not believing a word, “Fine then, only a fool won’t take advantage of such a damn deal.”

“Give me your ring.”

Zhuo Fan’s eyes shone and chuckled.
Zhui’er did so and Zhuo Fan’s ring touched hers.

Zhuo Fan then took the gourd and his son and was off, laughing, “Miss Zhui’er, a deal’s a deal, bye!” 

“Wait, I still haven’t checked…” Zhui’er cried out.

Murong Xue gasped, “What is it, Zhui’er?”

“Young miss, twenty million sacred stones are inside the ring.
The guy is actually loaded…” Zhui’er was bug eyed, struck dumb by the glittering rocks in her ring…
