NOVEL NEXT Chapter 178 Mu Xiaoqing
"Destiny Plate?"
The woman shook her head, "Although this guy is impressive, he's not worth that much!"
One hundred Destiny Plates, one million strands of Heavenly Mandate Vitality were valuable anywhere; a Galaxy 2-dan Primordial Beast was indeed not worth it.
"Alright..."
Zhang Xuan crossed his arms in front of his chest, took two steps back, and leaned against a large tree.
"You..."
Seeing that she had quoted a high price and the other party had stepped back without any intention to help, she was furious, her pretty face turning red, and she gritted her teeth.
She was quite a beauty; in such situations in the past, any man would want to show off and play the hero to save the beauty. This guy, on the other hand, couldn't care less.
Feeling irritated and reacting slowly, she was slapped twice in succession by tiger claws, swelling appeared on her arm, and she could not hold back any longer, she rebuked, "Hey, don't you have any sympathy?"
Not answering her, Zhang Xuan stroked his chin, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You're right!"
Looking down, he found an ant he had stepped on, "I'm really sorry, did I hurt you just now? Don't worry, I have a great deal of sympathy, I won't let you get hurt..."
The woman was about to explode, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and rebuke, "I'm talking about sympathy over here!"
"Oh!"
Zhang Xuan picked up a stone and threw it directly at her head, "Hey, woman, how dare you harm animals, don't you have any sympathy..."
...
The woman was fuming.
What kind of thought process is this?
Not only her expression, but the Green-faced White Tiger also looked over, feeling quite satisfied with Zhang Xuan.
"You're good... Once I kill it, if I don't chop you into mincemeat, my last name isn't Mu!"
With gritted teeth, she huffed coldly, the hook in her hand flew out, and at the same time, she clasped her hands together, and a jade token flew out, exploding with a boom.
Instantly, a scorching Strength surged around, flipping the Green-faced White Tiger onto the ground, tearing a fierce wound.
This was probably her so-called trump card. After the explosion, her face showed distress as she grabbed the hook again and fiercely slashed down, striking into the throat of the white tiger.
The white tiger struggled a few times, then stopped moving; it soon transformed into a bunch of pure Heavenly Mandate Vitality, flowing towards her.
"Indeed..."
Seeing that, just like Qinghu at the Ten Thousand Fox Well, this white tiger was also composed of Heavenly Mandate Vitality, Zhang Xuan glanced at the woman.
She showed no surprise, but closed her eyes and swiftly absorbed the incoming power.
Zhang Xuan smiled slightly.
It seemed this fellow knew the basis of the white tiger; thus, her previous talks about fur and inner core were all deceptive, and naturally, her promises were false too.
She wanted him to save someone without offering anything... Quite stingy.
However, she was stingy, and he couldn't let her have her way; after all, helping others was also his duty. Zhang Xuan's spirit stirred, and his body immediately acted like a huge hole, madly absorbing.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Mandate Vitality formed from the body of the Green-faced White Tiger was all devoured by him, amounting to thousands of strands.
The woman was closing her eyes to absorb when she quickly noticed something was wrong because… she had absorbed less than ten strands!
Such a big tiger, and you're telling me it was made from ten strands of Heavenly Mandate Vitality... are you kidding me?
Opening her eyes full of confusion, she saw Zhang Xuan not far away, picking his teeth, then burping.
The woman realized, "You absorbed the Crimsonfrons White Tiger's Heavenly Mandate Vitality?"
"Indeed, such a waste of Heavenly Mandate Vitality dissipating. I had no choice but to reluctantly absorb it. Just a trivial matter, no need for excessive gratitude..."

Zhang Xuan nodded.
"I initially thought that although you're annoying, you don't deserve to die, but since you're asking for it, don't blame me for being rude!" The woman's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly thrust the hook in her hand towards Zhang Xuan's neck.
The move was very quick and sharp. Just as it was about to pierce his throat, Zhang Xuan leaned slightly forward, and a surge of saber qi burst forth. The woman's hook flew from her grasp, and her tiger's mouth split open, oozing fresh blood.
Thud thud thud!
After retreating seven or eight steps, the woman finally came to her senses, her face full of shock.
She had assumed that since his age was not much more than hers, their cultivation should be similar. She never dreamed that this unremarkable fellow could be so strong!
"You want to kill me?"
Zhang Xuan stepped forward.
"I, I dare not..."
The woman took several steps back, clasping her hands in a salute, "I am Mu Xiaoqing from the Bamboo Forest Sect, Holy Daughter. I meant no offense. Please forgive me..."
"That's good... Since I helped you kill the White Tiger, shouldn't you pay some Destiny Plates?" Zhang Xuan looked at her indifferently.
"Help me?"
Her face flushed red, and Mu Xiaoqing trembled with anger.
You're helping me with what?
"Indeed, if I hadn't been flanking you, the Green-faced White Tiger would have surely run away, and you wouldn't have been able to kill it so easily... Let's do this, I won't ask for much, one hundred Destiny Plates will suffice!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"You..."
Mu Xiaoqing was about to retort but, remembering his strength, she held her tongue.
In such a place, with no one else around, if she were killed, she would simply die in vain.
"Thank you for helping me defeat the Green-faced White Tiger... Excuse me, the compensation is naturally due!" Clenching her teeth, Mu Xiaoqing flipped her wrist, and a large pile of Destiny Plates appeared in front of her and was handed over.
"That's more like it!" Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction and collected the Destiny Plates.
"I wonder... What is your name, my friend, and where do you come from? It would be good to know for when we meet again, to return the kindness."
Mu Xiaoqing continued, speaking of repayment but actually wanting to know his identity to find a chance to retaliate.
"I come from Zouyi... Let's forget the name and origin. I always do good deeds without leaving my name. If I reveal it, it becomes meaningless."
Zhang Xuan waved his hand, stepping forward and swiftly running into the distance, "We shall meet again!"
"Damn it!"
Watching him walk away, Mu Xiaoqing grew even angrier.
She had revealed her identity and position, yet he still dared to extort her. Was he unafraid, or did he truly have the capability?
"Although I don't know who you really are... you mentioned 'Zouyi,' so you must be from Zouyi City!"
Mu Xiaoqing pondered secretly.
"The techniques used to repel me just now had no saber, but it was evident that this person has a strong understanding of saber art... Once I find out which power in the Zhou Yi Dynasty specializes in saber techniques, I will be clear about everything!"
Mu Xiaoqing clenched her fist: "Hmph, dared to make me suffer, next time we meet, I will make sure you regret it!"
After analyzing everything and nearly certain of his identity, Mu Xiaoqing did not linger. She too turned and sped off in one direction.
