Cultivation Online novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31 - Negotiations

"Young Lady, why don’t we talk about this?" The Spirit Master took the initiative to speak with Xiao Hua, as he was certain that he would not be able to defeat Xiao Hua in a fight, and if the Du Brothers continued fighting Yuan, they would also lose to him sooner or later and lose their lives.

With no more options at hand, he could only resort to pleading for their forgiveness, hoping that they would at least spare the Du Brothers’ lives.

And he said, "Why don’t we negotiate? If you let the Young Masters leave this place in one piece, the Du Family will compensate you for the trouble they have caused for your Young Master."

"Let them go... you say? But they were the ones who willingly jumped at Brother Yuan." Xiao Hua responded with a nonchalant expression.

"I won’t deny that the Young Masters are the ones at fault here, but you gain nothing by killing them. In fact, if you kill them, regardless of your background, the Du Family will do everything in their power to avenge their deaths, and I’m sure neither of you would want the entire Du Family chasing after you."

"The Du Family? I have never heard of them before." Xiao Hua said.

"..."

The Spirit Master was dumbfounded. Although the Du Family is not the most powerful family in the world, they are considerably famous in the Cultivation world with multiple experts at the rank of Spirit Grandmaster within their family, and even if someone does not know of their achievements, they would at least know of their reputation.

"Furthermore, if I kill all three of you, how will the Du Family know who killed you? Even if one of you managed to escape, do you even know who we are? How are you going to find us?" Xiao Hua asked him with a cold gaze that did not fit her childish appearance.

The Spirit Master’s complexion immediately paled after hearing Xiao Hua’s word, and he began to realize the gravity of their situation. If Xiao Hua kills the Du Brothers including him, who will tell the Du Family about the culprits? Unless they can talk to ghosts, they will never find out the truth!

"P-Please, have mercy, Young Lady! There is no need to spill blood over such a minor complication, right? At the end of the day, those two are only Juniors who allowed their arrogance and pride to go to their head! There are many people like them out there, and I’m sure that even your Young Master has made mistakes before!" The Spirit Master began pleading, and if not for Xiao Hua’s pressure on him, he would’ve kowtowed to her.

"Don’t compare Brother Yuan to those two bullies! He’s a kind brother who played with Xiao Hua when nobody else would!" Xiao Hua suddenly shouted, accidentally emitting killing intent, which suffocated the Spirit Master.

"I... can’t... breathe...!" The Spirit Master began choking.

Meanwhile, right as Yuan knocked the Du Brothers to the ground, he noticed the ominous aura behind him, causing him to turn around and look.

"Xiao Hua!"

When he saw the unpleasant expression on Xiao Hua’s face, his initial thought was that the Spirit Master had done something to her, so he ignored the Du Brothers and immediately rushed to her side.

"Are you okay, Xiao Hua?!"

"Hm?" Hearing Yuan’s voice, Xiao Hua snapped out of her rage and turned to look at him, who was staring at her with a worried expression.

"Are you hurt anywhere?!" he asked her, and she nodded.

"Xiao Hua is okay, Brother Yuan."

"Is that so? That’s great to hear," he sighed in relief. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

After knowing that Xiao Hua was safe, Yuan finally noticed the Spirit Master that was laying on the ground, who was heavily panting, almost as he’d just ran a marathon.
