Martial Arts, the Little Master of the Ancient Tomb, Becomes Stronger When You Drink

144: Chapter 144—could it be the one who cleaved the Golden Wheel Monk in two with a single sword strike?Su Xuan had a faint smile on his lips, his gaze lingering on Ji Ruxue, a hint of admiration flashing in his starry eyes.

As expected of the Empress’s personal maid, having been trained in an assassination organization like the Phantom Sound Workshop since childhood, her thoughts and words were indeed meticulous.

Glancing at the blazing sun diagonally above, Su Xuan pondered for a moment before saying directly, ”Write a letter to your Empress. Add ten more herbs to the original ten. In other words, for this Young Master saving your life, I shall receive a total of twenty hundred-year-old medicinal herbs.”

Twenty?! hundred-year-old medicinal herbs?!

It would be better to just kill her...

She was just a lowly maid; how could she be worth twenty hundred-year-old medicinal herbs?!

Originally, she felt she wasn’t even worth ten, let alone twenty now...

This Su Xuan really dared to ask!

Seeing Ji Ruxue’s constantly changing facial expressions, how could Su Xuan not know what she was thinking?

But Su Xuan didn’t care about that; he wouldn’t accept a single herb less. Moreover, he was certain that Ji Ruxue would agree.

If it really didn’t work out, once he finished his current business, he could just go to the Qi Kingdom and take them. Could Song Yunxi even stop him?

Time passed second by second. A piercingly cold wind blew past, and Su Xuan snapped back to his senses. Seeing Ji Ruxue still dazed, he became slightly impatient. ”If it’s a deal, then it’s a deal. If not, then forget it. Just give me a straight answer; this Young Master doesn’t have time to waste with you here!”

”I... this... twenty...” Facing Su Xuan’s ’relentless pressure,’ Ji Ruxue bit her lip and stammered, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing Ji Ruxue like this, Su Xuan didn’t bother with her. With a casual lift, he sent the three women, including Huang Rong, onto Little Eagle’s back.

Then, Su Xuan prepared to head up as well.

Seeing that Su Xuan really intended to leave her behind, Ji Ruxue panicked. Her eyes flickered rapidly for a moment before she hurriedly stepped forward two paces and cried out, ”Wait, I agree!”

After saying that, whether it was relief or something else, Ji Ruxue suddenly felt much lighter.

Before Ji Ruxue could catch her breath, Su Xuan’s impatient voice reached her ears again. ”Since you’ve agreed, why aren’t you coming up? What are you dawdling for?”

”Ah... oh, okay.”

Hearing Su Xuan’s voice, Ji Ruxue quickly responded twice and was about to step forward.

Suddenly, she felt her body become weightless. Before she could react, she had already landed on Little Eagle’s back.

Having done all this, Su Xuan glanced at one side of the crowd, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

No longer wasting time, he stepped into the air and landed among the four women.

Chirp—

As soon as Su Xuan was in place, Little Eagle soared into the sky. Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, it shot straight into the heavens and flew away with the people.

Looking at the distant Void Realm and the small black dot getting further away, the crowd finally began to cry out in surprise.

”Heavens! Is that a bird? How can it be so big?!”

”I don’t know...”

”Eh? It looks like an eagle? I’ve seen something similar in a book...”

”An eagle? Holy crap, you mean... such a huge eagle was used as a mount by those people just now?!”

”By the way, did any of you hear clearly what those people were saying?”

”No, my ears felt like they were stuffed with cotton just now. I could only hear them talking, but I couldn’t make out anything...”

”Me too...”

”Wait! The woman in yellow among them seemed to be Gang Leader Huang of the Beggars Sect!”

”Gang Leader Huang?!!!”

”Yes, it’s her! I was fortunate enough to see her once at the Heroes’ Assembly a few years ago. I’ve never forgotten her; it’s definitely her!”

”In that case, could that man just now be the one who split Kukon the National Teacher with a single sword strike back then...”
