Chapter 33: Collecting Money and Leaving!

  "Xiao Erzi, now it's just you!" Leng Ruo Xue sneered, sizing up the Second Elder on the solitary frame, with a tone that was full of schadenfreude.

  However, the two elders did not react at all.

  "Xiao Erzi!" Leng Ruo Xue shouted again!

  The two elders still didn't react...

  "Calling you, are you deaf?" The old man with a somewhat violent temper kicked the Second Elder's foot fiercely and then shouted loudly.

  "How dare you! Do you know who I am? I'm the second elder of the Blue family!" The second elder, now enraged, bellowed. This was truly a case of a tiger falling into a trap and being bullied by a dog! A dignified second elder of the Blue family, also a Mystic Emperor, was actually being bullied by a mystic... Alas, is there still justice in this world?!

  "Little Second Son, take a good look at the situation in front of you. To us, you are just a servant in our household, not some kind of Second Elder. If you want to be a Second Elder, go back to your own Blue House!" The Old Master reminded him bluntly!

  "Hum! You dare treat the elder of the Lan family like this, our master will not let you off!" The second elder brought up their master, wanting to intimidate Leng Ruoxue and the others.

  "Is that so? If I told you, your family head has used you all to pay off debts? Ah, right, forgot to tell you, your family head sent someone last night to inform us that since the Blue family is tight on cash now, they're using you idle old men as debt repayment!" Old Man Zhao said with a sly smile.

  Actually, last night, Lan Tao found out about their plan and sent his trusted aide to inform them that they would use these elders as collateral until the Lan family repaid the money they owed them.

  At that time, they immediately understood after listening, Blue Tides didn't plan to shed blood! Compared with the Purple Gold Coin, these elders seemed even more useless!

  "This...this is impossible, the master of the house would never do such a thing, this concerns the honor of the Lan family!" The second elder did not believe Lao Tou's words at all and also did not believe that the master of the house would use them elders as collateral for debt!

  "Cut, the Blue family has so many elders, what's the difference if there are a dozen fewer of you! Moreover, look at you all, each and every one of you is well-fed and fat, how can the Blue family afford to raise you all?! So, abandoning you is normal!" The old man's face was full of reason.

  "No, I don't believe you!" The Second Elder's face turned red with rage, his neck thickening as he bellowed at the top of his lungs.

  "This is a letter written by your master himself, don't believe me? Take a look for yourself." The old man took out a letter from his ring and handed it to the young servant who refused to believe the fact.

  "What...how can this be?" The Second Elder hastily opened the letter and, after reading it, was left staring blankly. This was indeed the Master's handwriting! But how could this be? Why would the Master abandon them?

  "Alas! Let's just follow the convenient custom!" The old man said with great sympathy, but his face was full of schadenfreude.

  "Waaa..." The Second Elder couldn't withstand this blow and burst into loud wailing...

  "Hmm! This crying isn't over yet!" The old man frowned, somewhat impatiently, and said, "Can't see it at all! This little kid can cry quite a bit!"

  "Hand over this little servant to me, Old Man Jia! I have a way to make him cry his eyes out!" Feng Ling'er flew in front of Old Man Jia and said with a hint of complacency.

  "Ling'er, you really have a way?" Old Man Gao asked with some doubt.

  "Yes, yes, believe me." Feng Ling'er assured.

  "Alright, I'll leave Xiao Erzi to you then. Don't let him cry again, it's unbearable!" The old man said with some annoyance, and then wisely retreated to the side, leaving Feng Ling'er to start her antics!

  "Xiao Erzi, the master has ordered you not to cry anymore, otherwise, you will regret it!" Feng Ling'er said loudly, her words full of threatening meaning!

  "You... what do you want to do? I warn you, don't come any closer! I will resist!" The Second Elder's eyes were filled with hot tears, his arms covering his chest, and his face was full of fear.

  “……”

  "You're not even looking at yourself, what kind of virtue do you have? I'm not interested in you." Feng Ling'er's forehead was filled with black lines, and she said somewhat speechlessly. Now, she really doubted how the brains of these people from the Blue family were grown, why their thoughts were so different from others!

  "What do you want to do?" asked the Second Elder with a vigilant expression.

  "This young lady just wants you to do some things that a servant should do." Feng Ling'er said with a light smile.

  "Huh, who's your servant!" The Second Elder roared loudly! He didn't want to be a servant to a bird at all!

  "What? Do you want to disobey your master's orders?" Feng Ling'er glared with her small bird-like eyes, questioning fiercely.

  "Not... it's not that, I'm a sick man now." The second elder said in a low voice, implying that he can't do what a servant should do. He dare not disobey the master's orders, but it's also unlikely to make him willing to be a servant.

  "Are you ill? Don't worry, I can cure the illness. Let me help you," Feng Ling'er said, and then directly spat out a ball of flame, pouncing on the Second Elder on the solitary peak...

  "Ah! You damned bird! Do you want to burn me to death?" The Second Elder flipped his tail and quickly turned around, dodging the high-temperature fireball. After barely stabilizing himself, he panted heavily, his heart still racing wildly, and cold sweat poured down his body... That fiery heat was so intense that if he had reacted any slower, he would have been roasted alive!

  "Xiao Erzi, you're cured! Haha! My medical skills are truly remarkable!" Feng Ling'er exclaimed, flapping her small wings happily.

  "I'm not fully recovered yet!" The Second Elder firmly denied that he was cured and vowed to persist in pretending to be ill.

  "Really? Then let me help you with that!" After saying that, he prepared to spit fire again...

  "No... no need, I'm fine." The Second Elder said hastily, his face pale with fright.

  "Really okay? Don't force yourself! My flames are free!" Feng Ling'er asked with half-belief and some uncertainty.

  "Alright, alright, I promise, I'm perfectly fine now!" The Second Elder was afraid the bird wouldn't believe him, so he deliberately jumped up and down a few times to prove his physical health.

  "Oh, that's a relief! Now that you're all better, let's get to work!" Feng Ling'er said with a look of Zhou Papi.

  "What work? What kind of work?" The old man couldn't help but ask, he didn't know what kind of work this little bird was going to let him do. However, thinking that a bird probably doesn't have much work for him to do, his heart slightly relaxed.

  "First help me wash my paws, and then give me a foot massage!" Feng Ling'er stretched out her small paws in front of the Second Elder, commanding.

  "Feet... foot massage?" The two elders were somewhat stunned, it was just a bird, what's with the foot massage?! He couldn't help but suspect that this bird's mind wasn't quite right!

  "What? Is there a problem?" Feng Ling'er glared, ready to spit fire again!

  "Uh, no, no problem! But you're a bird, aren't you? Don't need foot massages, do you? Or I can help fluff your feathers or something!" The Second Elder started haggling!

  "No way, being smooth is a privilege reserved for men, you're not qualified." Feng Ling'er said with a hint of disdain.

  "Then... then arrange some other work for me!" The Second Elder said with a sorrowful face.

  "No way, this is your only job for now. If you can't do it well, then just do it for the rest of your life." Feng Ling'er said uncompromisingly.

  "Hmph! Fine!" The Second Elder said, on the verge of tears... Alas, how wretched his fate was! To actually fall into the clutches of this little red bird!

  "What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and go get the washing water for me, your master!" Feng Ling Er's master commanded with an air of authority!

  "Yes." The two elders replied with a hint of resentment and left the living room.

  "Haha, Ruo Xue sister, I'm awesome, right!" Feng Ling'er flew to the front of Leng Ruo Xue and boasted after the Second Elder left the living room.

  "Ling'er sister, you have to be careful, that Second Elder is not a good person!" Qing Ruo Xue reminded.

  "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." Feng Ling'er guaranteed with a pat on her chest using her small wings.

  "I'll leave Ice Kylin here to keep you company for a while." Cold as Snow thought for a moment, with Ice Kylin around, she believed those two Elders wouldn't be able to pull off any tricks!

  "No need, I can handle it myself!" Feng Ling'er said, she didn't want that stinky dog to come out and chatter on.

  "Opposition is futile!" Leng Ruoxue didn't tolerate any refusal, directly taking Bing Qi out of the cuff and putting him on the chaise longue.

  "Umm... okay then!" Feng Ling'er's eyes welled up with tears as she pretended to be pitiful.

  "Xiao Bingbing, take good care of them." Leng Ruoxue ignored Feng Ling'er and spoke directly to Bing Qi.

  "Mm." Ice Cream didn't even open his eyes and responded faintly.

  After finishing her conversation with Leng Yue as cold as snow, she pulled the demon out of the living room.

  After Leng Ruoxue left, Feng Ling'er was somewhat depressed and kept pacing back and forth on the table. The old man couldn't bear it anymore and opened his mouth to say: "Ling'er, what are you turning around for? I'm dizzy!"

  "My servant still hasn't come back, humph! He's probably slacking off!" Feng Ling'er shouted angrily, venting all her frustration on the hapless Second Elder.

  "I'm back, I'm back." The Second Elder hastily shouted before entering the living room after hearing Feng Ling'er's words.

  "Xiao Erzi, where have you gone? You've been gone for so long!" Feng Ling'er asked with great dissatisfaction.

  "I'm going to get some water!" The Second Elder wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, he had already sped up! But this bird was still not satisfied... Uh...

  "It's so slow to get some water, did you go dig a well?" Feng Ling'er said with a hint of mockery.

  "No, it's not that, the fifteen elders' water is boiling too slowly, and the stove in the kitchen can't be lit for half a day!" The second elder wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and explained. Now, people waiting in line to fetch water in the kitchen have already lined up outside the hotel.

  "Huh? How useless is that old man! Doesn't he know how to use fire attribute mystic power?" Feng Ling'er seriously doubted the intelligence of these Blue House elders.

  "None of us elders have the fire attribute, and besides, the shopkeeper doesn't allow us to use our mystical powers!" The second elder explained with some despair. Alas... these elders who usually acted so high and mighty, how did they end up in this state today?! He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought!

  "Oh! It seems you really need to be trained properly, you don't even have a bit of common sense in life, it's truly useless!" Feng Ling'er said with a face full of disdain.

  "Haha, Xiao Erzi, hurry up and serve your master to wash his feet! I'll go to the kitchen to see the excitement!" The old man ordered, then pulled Lin Liang together to see the excitement!

  "Miss Feng, please stretch out your claws!" The Second Elder said with a basin in hand, and came to the front of Feng Ling'er with a very solemn expression.

  "Wash it well and make it clean!" Feng Ling'er sat down on the edge of the table with a plop, stretching out her two small paws in front of Second Elder.

  "Uh, okay." The second elder carefully grasped Feng Ling's tiny claws, which were smaller than his fingertips, and began to gently clean them. He was actually very afraid of this violent bird, so he was extra careful while washing, fearing that Feng Ling might suddenly become dissatisfied and set him on fire again...

  "This is washed, and this... here..." Feng Ling'er kept directing the Second Elder, seemingly very dissatisfied with his service!

  "Miss Feng, is it done yet?" The Second Elder was exhausted to the point of near collapse. He had never known that serving a small bird by washing its paws could be so tiring... Ugh... And later he still had to help it with foot reflexology! Just thinking about it made him want to bang his head against the wall...

  "Alright, alright!" Feng Ling'er said somewhat discontentedly.

  "Huh? What's next then?" The Second Elder asked somewhat helplessly.

  "Foot massage! You won't forget so soon, will you? What a memory!" Feng Ling'er taunted with great dissatisfaction.

  "But... I don't know how!" The Second Elder pretended to be helpless, hoping to escape by doing so.

  "Want to learn? I'll teach you then..." Feng Ling'er sneered, spitting out a ball of flame and playing with it using one small wing, as if it were her toy. Although the fireball wasn't thrown at Second Elder, it still caused immense burden and fear in his heart.

  "That... uh..." The two elders stuttered, scared speechless. "Waaah... this violent bird is too evil! It knows he's afraid of fire and still scares him like that..."

  "How's that? Little Second, did you get it?" Feng Ling'er said with a seemingly amused tone, her facial expression seeming to say 'Do I still need to teach you?'

  "Hui, hui le!" The Second Elder said with a hint of fear in his voice... Hmm, this bird's strength was clearly inferior to his own, yet why did he feel so afraid of it? He truly couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried!

  "Then let's get started!" Feng Ling'er said lightly, playing with the small flame.

  "Alright!" The Second Elder, suppressing his fear, tremblingly held Feng Ling'er's small paws in his hands, massaging them while staring intently at the ball of flames, afraid that if Feng Ling'er lost control for a moment, the fire would jump onto him!

  "Xiao Erzi, you're not paying attention!" Feng Ling'er said with a hint of dissatisfaction, her eyes half-closed.

  "Ah! I'm focused, I'm very focused!" The Second Elder hastily said, wooo... can you blame him?! Who wouldn't be distracted when threatened like this?!

  "Xiao Erzi, I'm telling you for the last time, if you're still so absent-minded, I'll turn you into a roasted pig!" Feng Ling'er threatened bluntly.

  "I'm very focused." The Second Elder was so scared that he was sweating profusely and hastily guaranteed, and after being intimidated by Feng Ling'er, he didn't even dare to lift his head. Now, in his eyes, there were only those small paws that couldn't be any smaller!

  "Oh, gently, do you want to break my claws?" Feng Ling'er frowned and said somewhat displeased.

  "Ah! Sorry, I didn't mean to." The Second Elder said with great grievance, but he hadn't used much strength at all! Wuu...

  Two elderly men were sadly giving a foot massage to a small bird, while others on the other side were not doing any better, being tormented just the same.

  In the kitchen.

  The old man was delighted to see the Fifteenth Elder, who had been reduced to a sorry state, and burst out laughing. He couldn't stop teasing him: "Fifteen! You're so useless! You can't even light a fire without burning down half the kitchen! Ha! Now you'll have to pay a pretty penny in damages!"

  "Cough! Cough!" The fifteen elders had already been choked by the smoke and couldn't say a word, they could only express their discontent with coughs!

  "Come on, Fifteen! Hurry up! There are so many people waiting to use the water outside! And soon we'll have to start preparing lunch. Your speed is not going to cut it!" Old Man Gou said with a hint of worry. The kitchen had over ten stoves, but only two were lit. The rest had been burned by Fifteen's carelessness, and as for the other half... they had gotten wet during the fire rescue earlier, so it was unlikely they could be used to cook either...

  "Cough! Cough!" The fifteen elders coughed incessantly, anxious and indignant, yet unable to utter a word.

  "Xiao Hongzi! Why don't you go call an elder over? One person can't handle this alone!" The old man turned his head to say to the Third Elder beside him.

  "I'll go try!" The three elders furrowed their brows, somewhat embarrassed, saying that all the waiters in the guest house were on holiday today, and these elders' hands and feet were too slow, so they couldn't keep up with the work at all. Alas! He really didn't expect the Leng family's elders to be useless to this extent, it seems that the guest house's business for the next few days is hopeless!

  The three elders left the kitchen and searched around but couldn't find an extra elder. Before long, they returned with their heads hung low in disappointment.

  "Little Hongzi, have you found anyone?" The old man asked with a somewhat knowing tone.

  "There's no idle person." The three elders said somewhat dejectedly.

  "Xiao Hongzi, aren't there many Blue House elders? Why don't you go and call a few over?" Old Man Zao suggested with a smile.

  "Hmm! Then I'll go back and try?" The Third Elder said somewhat uncertainly, to be honest, he really wanted to get some more people over, otherwise, he was very afraid that if there weren't enough people, he would have to take the field himself!

  After finishing speaking, the three elders left again...

  After the three elders left, the supervisor naturally fell on the old man. The old man looked around here and there, and before long, he waited for the three elders to come back.

  "Xiao Hongzi, you're really something! You've actually brought so many elders again." Old Man Jiu smiled and looked at the ten elders who were following behind San Lao, their faces written with the three big words "unwilling", and praised.

  "Heh heh, this is all thanks to the master's full support." The Third Elder said with some embarrassment. Alas! There's no other way! If they didn't bring some people over, he would have had to do it himself! Woe...

  "Hmm, Xiao Hongzi, you can arrange their positions!" Old Man Zhao said generously. He wouldn't interfere with the three elders' work! Hehe!

  "It's all arranged," said the Third Elder.

  "Not bad, not bad, let them get to work quickly!" The old man urged.

  "You two stay here and help the Fifteenth Elder. The rest of you, follow me." The Third Elder gave his orders, then led the other Elders out of the kitchen...

  As night fell, when all the elderly who had worked for a day gathered in the living room, they were all so tired that they lay on the ground and didn't want to move at all.

  "Hey, all of you get up! Look at the state you're in now! You are one of the elders of the Blue Family Council!" Old Man Zhao shouted angrily.

  But nobody paid attention to him...

  "Little Second, you haven't done any heavy work either, how come you're also like them?" The old man's gaze shifted to the Second Elder, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, with his arm still in the same position!

  "I... I gave Miss Feng a massage for a whole day, waaah... " The Second Elder was on the verge of tears! His arms were so sore they had gone numb, and his entire body didn't have an ounce of strength left. Except for lying down, he couldn't even stand up!

  "Is a massage enough to exhaust you like this? You're really useless!" The old man said with disdain.

  "Hmm, I'm useless, whoever is capable can do it! I really can't do this job anymore." The Second Elder said with a choked voice, he didn't even have the energy to cry now.

  "That won't do, you Lanz family owe us so much money, all of you are here to pay off the debt, and it's only been a few days! Can't you hold on any longer? What will happen in the future?" Old Man Zhao said with some worry.

  "Uh... just how much does our Blue family owe you all, anyway?" an elder couldn't help but ask.

  "Let me count!" The old man said, and he really started counting on his fingers!

  "You owe us a total of 120 billion and 9 thousand purple gold coins, we won't bother with the change, so just pay 120 billion and that's it." The old man said magnanimously.

  “……”

  The old men lying on the ground, upon hearing this number, all fell silent and pretended to be dead. Oh... it's so many after all! No wonder the host was reluctant to part with them!

  "So much money, I reckon you won't be able to pay it off even in your next life. But that's okay, you can pass this debt down to your descendants and let them finish paying it off, haha, isn't my idea great?!" The old man said with glee, almost dancing with joy!

  The old men heard it, their eyes rolled over, and they fainted directly with foam at the mouth. And this time, it was absolutely real!

  "Hum! The quality of the Blue Family's elder is really too poor!" Old Man Zhou turned his head to look at the Great Elder and Third Elder, complaining with a face full of grievance. He didn't say anything, why did these people all become muddled?!

  "Yes! Their endurance is indeed too poor." The three elders said with some schadenfreude, anyway, as long as the person paying the bill wasn't him.

  "Little Hongzi! Look at them now, can they still go on duty tonight?" Old Zhao asked with some doubt.

  "We can't go up, but we have to go up. If not, the guest house will be empty at night." The three elders said with a heavy heart, and they couldn't blame him for having no sympathy! It's just that these elders are not his cup of tea! So, he doesn't care about their lives or deaths.

  "But they've all fainted now!" said the old man with some reluctance.

  "As long as there is still a breath left, one must work." The Great Elder spoke, directly sentencing these elders to death!

  "Alright, I'll support you. Ling'er, go wake them up!" The old man made a decisive statement with a resolute heart.

  "No problem, leave it to me! I have the best way to deal with lazy people!" Feng Ling'er said with a proud face, and then she sprayed a flame directly at the elderly lying on the ground. The flame was extremely hot, and as soon as it burned onto their bodies, it woke them up in pain...

  When many elders saw themselves on fire, they didn't care about being tired anymore! They directly rushed to put out the fire...

  Soon, the flames released by Feng Ling'er were extinguished by them. In fact, Feng Ling'er just wanted to wake them up. The flames looked fierce, but in reality, they were just loud thunder and small raindrops, with no strong killing power. Even if they didn't rescue her, she would only be slightly injured and wouldn't be in danger of losing her life.

  However, the elders were very afraid of death, so they easily fell into Feng Ling's trap and jumped up alive. Moreover, they also had no more excuses and stopped working at night!

  "Ling'er, you've done a great job!" Old Man Zhao praised.

  "Hmm, it's a must! Now they're all energized again, and can continue working at night. Xiao Erzi, give Ling a massage tonight!" Feng Ling'er ordered with an evil grin.

  The two old men were so scared that they really wanted to continue fainting, but they didn't dare. He was really afraid of this bird, and he believed that if he really fainted, the bird would unhesitatingly burn him to ashes...

  "Xiao Erzi, did you hear what our master just said?" Feng Ling'er shouted out in frustration as the Second Elder ignored her.

  "I heard it, I know." The Second Elder looked at the golden snake wrapped around the pillar, feeling depressed and making a low humming sound... He didn't know that this snake would make him massage where!

  "Xiao Hongzi, since they're all awake now, hurry up and take them to their workstations!" Old Man Chou urged.

  "Don't worry, you won't have to stay overnight, someone will take over." The old man added.

  "Hmm, I've already divided you into groups." The Third Elder said, and then led the first group out of the living room.

  "Alright, the rest of you elders can continue to lie down and take a good rest. In a few hours it will be your turn to go on duty!" The Third Elder led his men away, and then Old Man Tuo spoke again to the remaining elders present.

  As soon as the old man finished speaking, the elders who remained in the living room all lay down on the ground at the same time... they were really exhausted!

  "Haha, we're also going to rest, Old Master. Don't forget to switch shifts with Little Hongzi in the second half of the night!" The old man reminded, and then pulled Lin Liang out of the living room!

  "I'm going to accompany my dear ones too, hehe, if the little second child is not honest, you can come find me!" Feng Ling'er said to all the beasts in the living room.

  "With me here, you're not needed!" Ice Qi lightly raised an eyebrow and said calmly.

  "Hum! You lazy dog! By the time you make a move, the Huanghua vegetable will be cold!" Feng Ling'er said disdainfully, and then flew out of the living room with her head held high.

  Feng Ling'er left the living room and came to Leng Ruo Xue's room, softly calling: "Ruo Xue sister, I'm back."

  In an instant, a ray of light flashed by, and Feng Ling'er was already inside the hoop.

  "Hehe, Snow sister, didn't I do well? Little Second has been tormented by me to the point of almost running out of breath." Feng Ling'er flew in front of Leng Ruo Xue, seeking praise.

  "It's still not enough! They're still holding on, aren't they!" Leng Ruoxue said discontentedly. Alas, it seemed that she had indeed underestimated the elders' spirit of being willing to die for money. She really couldn't understand why all the elders of the Lan family were so stingy. Nor did she know if she and the master of the Lan family would be able to squeeze any more money out of them!

  "What should I do?" Feng Ling'er asked somewhat at a loss.

  "Xue Er, it seems we have no choice but to take drastic measures!" Leng Qing Tian said.

  "Huh? Grandfather, what's this strong medicine?" Cold Snow was somewhat perplexed.

  "Sweep the toilet." Leng Qing Tian said with a cold smile.

  "Grandfather, the outhouse has been cleaned today," said Leng Ruoxue.

  "It's only been a day, how can you see the effect? Let them sweep for a month each, I don't believe they can still hold on!" Leng Qingtian said with some malice, heh heh, he didn't believe those pampered elders could really endure this hardship!

  "Good, but it's not just about sweeping the toilet, let's sweep the entire inn!" Leng Ruoxue thought for a moment and said, "Let's have a big cleanup tomorrow, and if they can still eat after being swept for a month, she wouldn't believe it."

  "Hmm, how about this? Starting tomorrow, the guest house will be temporarily closed for a thorough cleaning. When they're done, we'll reopen. But during this time, any losses incurred by the guest house will be their responsibility." The old man said with a mischievous tone.

  "You guys are really too evil, those elders will be driven to death by you even if they don't die of exhaustion." Wu said with some schadenfreude, a joyful smile hanging on his handsome face, heh heh, he just knew that being with Leng Ruo Xue and others would never be boring!

  "It doesn't matter, killing one elder will just lead to thousands and millions of other elders taking their place." Leng Ruoxue didn't feel any sympathy for them at all. Sigh! Who made them so unlucky?

  "Got it, I'll execute the plan tomorrow then!" The old man who entered the ring before Feng Ling'er said excitedly.

  "Alright, Grandfather, tomorrow you'll all play the role of inspectors!" Leng Ruoxue said with a sly smile to everyone.

  "No problem." The crowd hastily responded, each person's face hanging with a smile of watching a good show!

  After they had discussed and agreed on a plan, Leng Ruo Xue and the others returned to their respective rooms to rest.

  Three days later.

  Finally, there is an elder who eats crab...

  In the living room.

  "I can't take it anymore, I'm willing to pay back the debt with money, please don't make me wipe the floor again, okay?" An elderly man cried and knelt on the ground, wailing... He's almost exhausted to death!

  "Old Ninth, hurry up and get up! You're one of the most senior elders in our Elder Council, how can you be so spineless?! Stand up like a man!" The Great Elder rebuked loudly.

  "Great elder, I really can't take it anymore! I'll pay the money, isn't paying the money enough?! I want to redeem myself!" The ninth elder wailed and cried, with such a sorrowful tone that one would have thought someone in his family had died!

  "Is this... Miss Leng, acceptable?" The elder asked with a forced tone, suppressing his smile.

  "Alright! One billion purple gold coins!" said Leng Ruoxue, sitting in her chair with a smile.

  "What? Another 10 billion?! Are you trying to rob us?! Our Blue family only owes you 12 billion in total, why do I have to pay 10 billion alone?" The Ninth Elder shouted with a hoarse voice, there are more than twenty of them, how can he take so much alone, wooo...this is not fair!

  "It's this price, if you can't bear to part with it then just continue staying here for special training! I'm very open-minded and won't force a sale." Cold Snow lightly smiled and calmly said.

  "I'll give it! I'll pay you 10 billion, I don't want to stay here anymore!" The Ninth Elder gritted his teeth and said, his gums starting to bleed from the pain.

  "Nine Elders, you are indeed wise!" Cold-as-Snow praised, then turned her head to the other elders in the living room and said: "If any of you want to redeem yourselves, it's also a flat price of 10 billion Purple Gold Coins."

  However, the other elders were apparently reluctant to part with their money, and no one responded to Leng Ruoxue.

  Two more days passed.

  One after another, the elderly proposed to redeem themselves...

  In the living room, the old man is so happy to receive money! His old face is almost smiling into a flower.

  "Take your time! We'll meet again, I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." The old man's words were the same for each elder who was ransomed with money, and their reactions were also identical. Before the old man could finish speaking, they immediately disappeared without a trace...

  "Cut it out! I'm not a tiger, why run so fast!" Old Man Zhao complained discontentedly.

  "Haha! They don't dare to have the opportunity to cooperate with you." Lan Ruoxue said with a good mood, the reaction of these elders was really too funny, she guessed that in the future, when they saw them, they would have to take a detour!

  "That's just a polite phrase, I don't want to cooperate with them either! They are really useless." The old man was extremely disgusted with those elders.

  "Hmm, how many are left?" asked Leng Ruoxue with some curiosity.

  "There are still seven holding on tight, more than half have paid and left." said the old man.

  "Oh, it seems that the work arranged for them is still too light. Let's divide the tasks left by the elder among these seven people!" Leng Ruoxue said after some thought.

  "Alright!" The old man replied with a smile, heh heh, anyway, these tasks don't need him to do it, but, the young lady is a bit too ruthless, isn't she? Those people are going to be so angry they'll spit blood!

  As expected, no sooner had the old man announced the seven new tasks for the elders than three of them couldn't take the blow and spat out blood before fainting. However, after waking up, they all voluntarily handed over their money and hastily left...

  The other four elders, after holding out for another day, finally gave in and paid the ransom to redeem themselves, and then disappeared immediately...

  In the living room.

  "Haha, girl, we've really hit the jackpot! I'm so happy!" The old man looked at the unfamiliar silver cards in his hand and laughed until his mouth couldn't close.

  "Hmm, let's leave too!" said Leng Ruoxue to everyone.

  Everyone nodded and left a letter, taking advantage of the night, and bid farewell again without saying goodbye...
