Chapter 3925 — A Bully at Home
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"I called you trash. What of it—do you have a problem with that?" A cold, bone-deep killing intent flashed in Murong Zhen's eyes.
Meng Zhou shuddered and came back to his senses. The woman before him was no ordinary newcomer who would bow and scrape—if he offended her, he could be killed on the spot with no one to plead his case.
"Li Zhengming, get the hell over here!" Meng Zhou did not dare meet Murong Zhen's eyes again, so he vented his anger on the one he took for a soft target.
Li Zhengming narrowed his eyes slightly. Had Murong Zhen not been present, he would already have struck down this arrogant, self-important fool.
After a pause, Li Zhengming walked over slowly and said, betraying nothing, "What is it?"
"Give me your spirit-beast talisman!" Though gravely wounded, Meng Zhou was still as swaggering as ever, carrying himself like a lord and master.
"And why should I?" A flash of killing intent passed through Li Zhengming's eyes and vanished.
It was only a low-grade spirit-beast talisman, but to any newcomer of the Azure Cloud Pavilion it was a chance that came once in a blue moon. Li Zhengming was no exception—how could he possibly hand it over to the likes of Meng Zhou!
"Because my spirit-beast talisman is ruined, and because I'm your leader—do you have a problem with that?" Meng Zhou sneered, his brows lifted in smug contempt.
Xiao Che had only peeled off the spirit-beast talisman stuck to the Blackback Staff Ape's forehead; the ape, already badly wounded by them beforehand, was still there and had not fled.
In its present condition, one more spirit-beast talisman would guarantee success a hundred percent.
Li Zhengming drew a deep breath at these words and glanced at Murong Zhen beside him. She seemed uninterested, merely folding her arms and watching coldly from the sidelines.
Damn it! If not for this woman's presence, I would kill you today!
Li Zhengming drew another deep breath, forced down the rage in his heart, and said, "There's only one spirit-beast talisman. If I give it to you, what am I supposed to do?"
"You?" Meng Zhou raised an eyebrow and said in that sneering, insinuating tone, "Have you got a brain in that head of yours? You're not the only one with a spirit-beast talisman—just take one from somebody else. These people are all cowards who fear death anyway. With your strength, that shouldn't be a problem, should it!"
"Rob the other newcomers?" Li Zhengming was almost amused in his fury. This bastard Meng Zhou never changed—whatever dirty work there was, he always wanted someone else to carry it.
True enough, with Li Zhengming's strength it would not be hard to snatch a spirit-beast talisman from another newcomer. But if he actually dared do it, Meng Jueming would come settling accounts with him afterward, a hundred percent certain.
These newcomers' loyalty was shaky at best. If he did such a thing, he would be practically shoving them into Wei Zhao's camp in broad daylight—Meng Jueming would never let him off lightly.
"Enough of your damn whining. Hand over the spirit-beast talisman, and be quick about it. If my Blackback Staff Ape gets away, I'll tell Cousin Ninth you've been secretly colluding with Wei Zhao and his lot, and I'll have him strip you of everything the moment we're back!" Meng Zhou threatened viciously.
