CHAPTER 306: CHAPTER 306: ROBBED INSTEAD?

Xia Mian finished speaking and reached out to wipe the neck of the vulture.

Spiritual Energy dissipated, stopping the bleeding on the vulture’s neck.

The next moment, Xia Mian squinted slightly and chuckled softly, "Since you’ve come, don’t leave. How about I give you a new master?"

After Xia Mian finished speaking, she moved her palm again, and with her movement, a red line emerged from the vulture’s body. Xia Mian pinched the line and then turned to look at Song Ke, "Mr. Song, how about a contract with this creature?"

Song Ke was overjoyed; the surprise came so suddenly!

"Great!" Song Ke responded and swiftly formed a contract.

The vulture didn’t even have the chance to resist before Xia Mian forced it into a contract with Song Ke.

With the master-servant contract formed, the vulture became Song Ke’s spirit pet completely unprepared!

Song Ke’s face was full of delight; indeed, having someone powerful to rely on is crucial!

For so many years, he hadn’t been able to contract a single spirit pet. Now, within less than two days of knowing Xia Mian, he had acquired a talented spirit pet!!

On the deck, the moment the contract was forcibly severed by Xia Mian, Xiao Minglu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

When he looked up again, there was a deep look of hatred in his eyes. He came to rob others and hadn’t succeeded yet, but his spirit pet was taken first?!! How absurd!

Under Xiao Minglu’s incredulous gaze, the vulture, which was still his spirit pet ten minutes ago, carried the Little Black Cat and slowly flew into the air, weaving through the school of flying fish...

As they made their way through, Little Black Cat and the vulture, one waving its claws, the other opening its mouth, managed to eat most of the majestic-looking school of flying fish...

The pirates lost their mounts and plunged back into the sea.

This time, before they could emerge from the water again, Xia Mian used Spiritual Power to stir the sea, forming a massive vortex on the surface, drawing all the pirates into it!

The pull of the vortex was too strong, and the giant ship was also affected, the hull beginning to shake violently.

Xiao Minglu panicked, and so did the man from the Artifact Refining Sect.

"Brother Xiao, what do we do now?" The man’s face was as pale as a vegetable.

Last night, they suffered a loss to Xia Mian at the auction house and had been looking for a chance for revenge. Seeing Xia Mian and Song Ke enter the Sea Market, they thought the opportunity had come; they could contact the Sea Market pirates to subdue Xia Mian.

But they never expected these pirates to be so weak in combat.

All noise and no substance, they were as flashy in their entrance as they were pathetic in their exit!

Xiao Minglu’s face was livid, "You’re asking me what to do? Are these two even normal? They’re freakishly powerful!"

He paused and suddenly twisted the corners of his mouth into a smile, "Well, they wouldn’t be targeted by the Artifact Refining Sect without extraordinary talent."

The man from the Artifact Refining Sect did say that the woman not only had outstanding Combat Power but also a strong talent in Alchemy!

If he could transfer all these talents to himself, he would undoubtedly be the greatest in the history of the Mystical World!

Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Minglu immediately felt invigorated as if he had been injected with adrenaline.

"Brother Niu, since the Artifact Refining Sect came to Sea Market to find us, you wouldn’t have come unprepared, would you?" Xiao Minglu glanced at Niu Tuo.

Niu Tuo’s expression stiffened, "Of course not."

He was well aware that since Xia Mian had seen him at the Sea Market, if Xia Mian left alive today, she would make sure the Artifact Refining Sect didn’t have any peace!

Destruction of their sect would be a light consequence!

"Brother Niu, since you brought this deal to me, you should at least show some sincerity." A hint of malice flashed in Xiao Minglu’s eyes.

He had already lost so many men, and yet these guys from the Artifact Refining Sect hadn’t shown any sign of support, which made Xiao Minglu very angry.

Niu Tuo chuckled dryly, "Brother Xiao, please stay calm."

Niu Tuo said, glancing backward, at a woman in a white cloak who lightly furrowed her brows.

"Aunt, aren’t you also tempted by her talents?" Niu Tuo said quietly, "You weren’t very loyal last night when you left."

The woman in the white cloak was shrouded in shadow, only revealing a chin as smooth as jade.

"Heavenly Mountain doesn’t engage in any worldly conflicts, you know that." Her voice was clear, like an oriole out of the valley.

Niu Tuo sneered, "Aunt, that’s not fair; since you’re here, wanting to share in the benefits, you can’t just contribute nothing."

The woman was silent for a moment, "People from the Heavenly Mountain are not good at fighting. However, if you need, we can assist you."

With her words, Niu Tuo finally relaxed, "With your assurance, Aunt, we’re relieved."

The women from Heavenly Mountain indeed aren’t good at combat, but they excel in support.

In the course of battle, they can help their side quickly recover.

"Brothers, it’s up to you this time!" Niu Tuo’s eyes turned cold.

The men from the Artifact Refining Sect are mostly hot-blooded, and after being beaten by Xia Mian and having their money pouches taken, they felt they’d lost their dignity over the decades!

But having suffered losses at Xia Mian’s hands, these guys from the Artifact Refining Sect, while eager, didn’t rush up directly this time.

But instead pursed their lips and lightly called, throwing out their Corpse Puppets!

Seeing this, Xia Mian couldn’t help but smile; these Corpse Puppets were sold by her to Xie Chengming, and these ghostly things couldn’t even scratch her...

Lu Zechuan also squinted slightly; are these Artifact Refining Sect guys here to be funny?

The Little Black Cat, having finished dealing with the pirates, landed back on the ship, lazily beginning to lick its paws, seemingly disdainful of these feeble enemies, and lay down on the ship without any interest in further battle.

The Corpse Puppets, like marionettes, charged fiercely but crashed into the sea when they approached Xia Mian’s ship, hitting the Barrier.

Seeing the Corpse Puppets fail to breach even the enemy’s Barrier, the faces of those from the Artifact Refining Sect changed drastically.

Xiao Minglu also squinted lightly, finding these two a bit troublesome!

The vortex on the sea continued, and the large ship was getting ever closer to it. If it got swallowed, these Sea Market bandits might become history!

A trace of resolve flashed in Xiao Minglu’s eyes, and the next moment, he suddenly slapped his chest and spat out a mouthful of essence blood, "Summon the Sea King!"

As soon as those words left Xiao Minglu’s mouth, the mist over the sea thickened, and white smoke spread, making it impossible to see one’s hand in front of their face.

The sea instantly calmed, and it seemed as if time and space had frozen.

In the midst of this tranquility, a huge roar erupted from the depths of the sea...
