CHAPTER 811: CHAPTER 552: WIPE YOUR NOSEBLEED BEFORE ACTING COOL

"Hey, boss, could you lend me something else?"

Liu Zheng flashed a smile.

"Your face change is faster than a chameleon. No, I won’t lend it."

Niu Ma flatly refused.

"You’ve heard it too, boss. This is an order from our boss, I have no choice."

He complained.

"What does your task have to do with me?"

Niu Ma remained unmoved.

"There’s only two of us in the delivery department. If I mess this up, how good do you think you’ll have it? Not to mention, if I’m penalized and can’t make deliveries, you’ll have to do it yourself."

Liu Zheng stated the stakes involved.

Ever since he came, aside from the few times he dragged Niu Ma into trouble, Niu Ma’s workload had decreased drastically.

Not to mention the orders from familiar clients he knew, even the mandatory deliveries rarely went to Niu Ma.

Niu Ma basically spent his days lazing in the lounge, getting extra money without lifting a finger, living a life better than the leaders.

No wonder the White Feather Chicken was so envious.

"Nope, seriously, no more. The rest I’ve set aside as family heirlooms."

Niu Ma shouted.

"You don’t even have kids yet, what heirlooms? Hurry up, if you don’t lend it I’ll swap that walnut out."

"I already gave it to you, swap it if you like."

Niu Ma feigned nonchalance.

"Then you’ll never know what’s inside the walnut~"

He dragged out his words.

"Are you threatening me?"

Niu Ma glared.

"Who’s threatening you? I’m just stating facts. You can’t expect me to put your curiosity above the boss’s orders, can you?"

Liu Zheng said.

"Don’t use the boss to pressure me. I was working for the boss before you were even born."

Niu Ma sneered.

"I’m just saying, if your head was so easy to lower, you wouldn’t always be staring up at the sky outside the farm."

He smiled and said.

Liu Zheng often threatened and tempted Niu Ma not for effectiveness, but just for banter.

"What do you know? That’s because I had a stiff neck and couldn’t bend it."

Niu Ma rolled his eyes at him.

"Hehe."

Liu Zheng chuckled noncommittally.

Whether it was true or not, only Niu Ma knew.

Regardless of how many brave warriors the evil dragon killed, it couldn’t kill the part of itself that once wanted to slay the dragon.

"This is all that’s left, you’d better not trade it away. If you do, you must replace it with something satisfactory or don’t bother trying to fool me with money or useless items."

Just when he thought he failed to squeeze anything out of Niu Ma, Niu Ma suddenly spoke up.

Then, it spat out a metal fragment from its mouth.

The metal fragment fell straight down, easily embedding itself into the steel-hard ground.

A fierce and evil aura emanated from it, making Liu Zheng’s hair stand on end. Instinctively, he grabbed his rusty knife and slaughter knife.

"Scared of what? It’s just a hunk of junk metal. You’ve seen plenty of big shots and you’re scared of this dead thing?"

Niu Ma mocked.

"That’s because those big shots never actually wanted to kill me, but this hunk of junk metal might."

Liu Zheng retorted.

As a Black Mountain Goat Cub hybrid that also liked devouring flesh, he sensed a kindred spirit in the metal fragment.

But he was indeed battle-hardened and quickly returned to normal after his initial reaction.

Liu Zheng picked up the metal piece, its sharp aura directly slicing through his tendril, with the blood flowing onto the metal piece immediately absorbed.

"More, I need more! Give me your flesh and blood and become my slave!"

A broken but fierce will invaded his mind through his blood.

"You think you can be my master? Have you asked all those bosses who stamped their approval on me?"

Liu Zheng sneered.

He raised his tendril, countless face-like patterns surfaced on its surface.

This was the "Gaga Bathhouse" Jade Grasshopper’s seal of murderous aura and resentment within him, triggered by the Slaughter Soldier.

Liu Zheng swung his rusty knife, making a chopping motion toward the metal fragment.

In his mind, his human form also held the Dragon Scale Blade, facing the uninvited will.

"Screech!"

A hoarse, grating noise like grinding teeth sounded, the will was repelled by Liu Zheng, and the metal fragment’s ominous aura temporarily subsided.

"A mere dead thing trying to eat me? If my stomach weren’t upset recently, I’d chew you up and spit you out right now."

He said proudly.

"Can you wipe your nosebleed before acting cool?"

Niu Ma commented disdainfully from the side.

"Eh? Ahaha, sorry, I’ve been feeling a bit dry lately."

Liu Zheng used his sleeve to wipe away the mix of nosebleed and who knows what.

He looked down at the metal piece and realized it was a blade tip. The fracture was extremely smooth, likely cut by another divine blade.

A bone was embedded in the blade, seemingly a vertebra.

"Name: Fragment of Tiger Soul"

"Type: Miscellaneous"

"Quality: Perfect"

"Effect: Can be used for smithing equipment or cultivating the Path of Slaughter."

"Note: Yellow Emperor! How will you repay what you owe me!"

"Takeable out of instance: Yes"

"Impressive."

Liu Zheng said genuinely.

Just a blade tip was of perfect quality, if complete, the Tiger Soul would at least be legendary or higher.

He always knew Niu Ma had some good stuff up his sleeve with all his swindling over the years.

"Hmph, as if I don’t know. If I thought I could ever collect all the fragments, I wouldn’t lend this even for a million."
