Chapter 1338: Chapter 1337: Seven-star Beast Tamer
"Well, Master, coming early doesn’t match coming at the right time; we happened upon this semi-annual annoyance, and now there’s only one room left. What should we do?" Wang Junyi seemed a bit troubled.
In his view, Su Changfeng could sleep with the two women because, after all, he was the master, but he couldn’t entertain such thoughts himself.
"Let’s make do for now and think of a solution later." Su Changfeng said. Since the people had explained clearly, going elsewhere would likely be the same. One room is better than sleeping outside on the streets.
"Alright, Boss, we’ll take this room." Wang Junyi said to the innkeeper.
Just as he was about to pay, an abrupt voice suddenly came from behind.
"Boss, I’ll take this room. You can name any price you want."
Upon hearing this voice, Wang Junyi immediately frowned and turned around to see a well-dressed young man holding a folding fan. With his long robe and refined demeanor, he was certainly dashing with sharp features and a tall frame, likely very popular among the ladies.
"Brother, apologies, but we arrived first, so this room is naturally ours." Wang Junyi coldly stated.
Yet the other party seemed to completely ignore Wang Junyi’s words, walked directly to the innkeeper, and said, "Since you’re doing business, making money is the priority. It’s all about who pays more, right?"
The innkeeper was a bit distressed; he wasn’t someone who only looked at money, but seeing the man before him, he seemed not easy to offend. If he insisted on giving the room to Wang Junyi, troubles might come his way.
"Gentlemen, why don’t you discuss it among yourselves first? This isn’t a large business, you see..." The innkeeper looked troubled.
As a businessman, his approach was naturally understandable. Wang Junyi didn’t intend to make things difficult for him, so he directly faced the man opposite.
"Do you want to fight?" Wang Junyi asked without hesitation, since as a man, solving it with fists was natural, thus treating the other party without formality.
The man looked disdainfully at Wang Junyi before saying, "Consider who I am; how could I engage in a fight with a barbarian like you?"
"If you’re scared, you’re scared. Why all the nonsense? If you don’t dare, then get lost!" Wang Junyi showed impatience.
This pretty boy was clearly just a decorative pillow with no real ability; what use was eloquence? A man’s worth was in his fists.
"I won’t act, but others will teach you a lesson. Just wait!" After saying this, an elder appeared.
From Su Changfeng’s perspective, the elder walked in from outside, but his speed was fast enough that ordinary people couldn’t catch his movement.
So in Wang Junyi’s view, the elder seemed to appear out of thin air beside the young man, which showed that the opponent wasn’t simple.
Seeing Wang Junyi’s expression, the young man laughed smugly and said, "If you’re scared, get out immediately. His skills aren’t something you can withstand."
"Please, gentlemen." The elder said expressionlessly.
If Wang Junyi were facing such an expert alone, he’d likely slip away quietly, but with Su Changfeng beside him, he had no worry. After all, his master could kill a Seventh-rank expert from Xingluo Sect without hesitation; this old man certainly couldn’t be a late stage third rank expert, could he?
"Hmph, you speak big, but I want to see how skilled you really are!" Wang Junyi smirked, and with a thought, a blood-red figure appeared beside him.
The massive body instantly crushed the surrounding tables and chairs.
The innkeeper and the spectators couldn’t help but widen their eyes.
"An exotic beast, this person is actually a Beast Tamer!"
"This exotic beast feels strong, but I can’t tell its rank."
"Isn’t this the Seven-star Blood Lion? This person is actually a Seven-star Beast Tamer!" At this moment, someone recognized the Blood Lion’s rank and exclaimed.
A Seven-star Beast Tamer, even in Xingluo, is considered powerful, so such reactions aren’t surprising.
The young man felt the pressure emanating from the Blood Lion and his face faded slightly. He hadn’t expected that this seemingly ordinary bumpkin would turn out to be a Seven-star Beast Tamer.
This time he had indeed misjudged.
"Sir, if you don’t mind, we could go outside and have a match to see who gets the room in the end, what do you think?" Wang Junyi raised his eyebrows, and as for the elder’s rank, he didn’t care, as long as he had his master, there would be no trouble.
The elder looked at the young man, with a hint of concern in his expression. He himself had Seventh-rank prowess, but facing the Seven-star Blood Lion indeed posed a challenge, and he might be defeated by it, making this a very risky endeavor.
"Young Master, what do you think?" The elder asked the young man.
Clearly, the young man had a good background, so even the elder, with his Seventh-rank expertise, needed his opinion.
The young man tightened his grip on the folding fan and asked softly, "How confident are you?"
The elder shook his head slightly, he could tell Wang Junyi was fifth-rank and Qiutang Yu’er had no cultivation, but couldn’t discern the ranks of the other two individuals.
Initially, he thought Su Changfeng and You Meng were ordinary individuals, but after Wang Junyi summoned the Seven-star Blood Lion, he realized that those two weren’t simple.
After all, if their subordinate possessed a Seven-star Blood Lion, it was clear their strength far surpassed his.
Unable to sense energy fluctuations from them usually meant two possibilities: either they had no cultivation, or their strength was overwhelmingly superior, making it impossible for him to gauge their details.
Seeing the elder shake his head, the young man understood that this time he couldn’t act recklessly, as being inadvertently bitten by that Blood Lion would lead to regrets.
"What’s your name, dare to say it?" The young man asked Wang Junyi.
"Planning revenge later? Sure, I’ll tell you, I’m Wang Junyi, you’re welcome to find me anytime!" Wang Junyi replied with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.
The young man soon left. While leaving like this was embarrassing, it was better than risking his life.
"Master, strength really is crucial. This stranger today wouldn’t have given up so easily if I weren’t strong." Wang Junyi proudly said. Feeling the importance of strength made him yearn even more for greater power.
