Chapter 6: rare commodity for sale
"Even if you speak eloquently, it's still betrayal," Feng Jiu interrupted Du Ge and said, "Family Master, don't believe him. Heavenly Demon is cunning and can disguise his keywords. Don't listen to what he says, but watch what he does. A Heavenly Demon like me, who can grow just by eating, is the easiest to control..."
After dismantling Du Ge's argument, Feng Jiu felt relieved for no reason.
"Brother Jiu, you've hurt me deeply. You can insult my body, but you can't defame my reputation," Du Ge shook his head and sighed, "You were the one who proposed cooperation in the beginning, and now that the situation is so good, you're targeting me. Have you ever thought that if I really wanted to kill you, the tile would have already cut your throat while I fed you blood? How could I bring Third Young Master and Mr. Qiao to see you and persuade you to turn back and join the Feng Family?"
"...," Feng Jiu crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at Du Ge, coldly saying, "If you hadn't tortured me to death, I would have believed you."
"Forget it, I won't explain it anymore. Brother Jiu has abused me a thousand times, but I still treat him like my first love," Du Ge looked at Feng Jiu, shook his head, turned around, and bowed to Feng Shiren, saying solemnly, "Family Master, please don't mind Brother Jiu's recklessness. As the saying goes, highly rewarding talent. Even a Heavenly Demon like Brother Jiu can be treated as a distinguished guest by the Feng Family. Are you afraid that there won't be other Heavenly Demons joining us? Now that the Heavenly Demons have arrived, the world has changed. Although we are weak now, whoever controls more Heavenly Demons in the future will become stronger and have more say in the world. Seizing the opportunity is the key to success..."
With one sentence, Du Ge not only defended Feng Jiu but also the Feng Family. He felt refreshed and his strength seemed to have doubled. Every cell in his body was filled with power.
Great!
...
Become stronger?
Have more say in the world?
In the conference room.
The members of the Feng Family looked at Du Ge as if he were a fool. Such big words!
In this vast world, the Feng Family was just a second-rate family with no special techniques or talents. Becoming stronger was just wishful thinking!
With just a few Heavenly Demons?
You two were easily restrained, and you're still bragging!
...
What do you mean, a Heavenly Demon like me?
What does highly rewarding talent mean?
I had already decided to join the Feng Family, and you made it sound like I owe you a favor?
Who do you think you are?
...
Your damn keyword isn't maintenance, but deception, right?
Feng Jiu was once again provoked by Du Ge and was about to retaliate.
Suddenly, he felt a tremor in his heart and thought of a possibility.
Fraud!
Du Ge's keyword was fraud or deception...
From the beginning, every word and action he made was deceiving - deception could also achieve the effect of recovery.
Fuck!
He was so confused that he believed Du Ge's keyword was maintenance at the beginning...
Of course, there were also good things. His ranking had risen more than seventy places, and although he was still far from the top ten, the rapidly rising ranking gave Du Ge hope.
"Family Master, make a decision! Heavenly demons are still weak and small, and they are all hiding themselves. Once they grow stronger, it will be even more difficult to attract them. Once other sects discover the benefits of Heavenly demons, we will not have a chance," Du Ge continued to persuade.
Ahem!
Feng Shiren coughed again and shook his head. "Mr. Qi, I know you have the Feng family's best interests at heart, but the Feng family is not well-known in the martial world. If the matter of attracting Heavenly demons is exposed, it may bring disaster to the family. I know you are sincere, but the Feng family is too small. This matter should be discussed later. Why don't the two gentlemen tell me more about the demon realm so that I can have a preliminary understanding of the Heavenly demons?"
Du Ge looked at Feng Shiren and fell silent for a moment. "Family Master, you may think that we are weak and cannot help the Feng family. Or perhaps you are afraid that if the Heavenly demons grow out of control, they will backlash against the Feng family. But throughout history, opportunities have always been given to those who are prepared. Have you ever thought that once the Heavenly demons are used by others, will the Feng family still have a place in the martial world? Even if others use the Heavenly demons to swallow the Feng family, what will the Feng family rely on to resist? Rely on the Feng family's descendants?"
Feng Yunlu, the fourth son of the Feng family, sneered, "You talk big. With your weakness, can you really cause any trouble? I alone can take on ten of you."
"Weak?" Du Ge was stunned. "Family Master, please seal my internal energy!"
"No need, I have already investigated. Your dantian has been shattered, and your internal energy has already dissipated," Feng Shiyi suddenly said.
Damn!Du Ge was stunned and cursed inwardly, 'I knew it was strange that other sparring partners had martial arts, but I couldn't sense any internal energy from him. So this is the reason.'
MMP.
It seemed that there was no chance to experience martial arts now. He didn't know if there were any herbs or martial arts that could repair the dantian. Logically speaking, having a broken dantian was a protagonist's treatment...
Crack!
Du Ge casually struck a palm at the square table beside him.
The table shattered in response.
Feng Shiren was stunned.
Feng Jiu's mouth twitched, and he subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. 'Good guy, this bastard is growing fast!'
Feng Yunlu was dumbfounded.
Du Ge laughed and said, "Fourth Young Master, it's been less than half an hour since I possessed Feng Qi's body. Just by maintaining the Feng Family, I've grown to this point. If I could really help the Feng Family flourish, even I don't know how much power I would gain. Do you still think the Heavenly Demon is weak?"
Feng Shiren stood up, walked over to Feng Qi, grabbed his wrist, and put his fingers on his pulse. After a moment, he raised his head, looked at Du Ge in surprise, and said, "The dantian is as good as new, but indeed, all internal energy is lost."
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Feng Shiyi rushed over in a few steps, pressed Du Ge's pulse, and carefully examined it. He said incredulously, "How is it possible? Can the Heavenly Demon repair even a broken dantian?"
The dantian was actually repaired, the Keywords were indeed powerful!
Du Ge felt a surge of joy and looked around at everyone with a smile. "Everyone, do you still underestimate the Heavenly Demon? My attribute is maintenance, which is very difficult to operate. I need to genuinely consider the other party's interests in order to grow. Even so, my growth is still rapid. As for Heavenly Demons like Feng Jiu, who can grow simply by eating, or those with other simple attributes, can the Feng Family really resist them when they grow?"
Seeing the Feng Family members deep in thought, Du Ge pressed on, "Family Master, the Feng Family may not need the Heavenly Demon, but it definitely cannot be without it. The reason why martial arts families grow strong is because of martial arts secrets. If the Feng Family could have a group of Heavenly Demon guest officials, would we lack secrets? Perhaps, in no time, the Feng Family will be the next Qiao Family, and the so-called Martial Arts Tournament will be hosted by the Feng Family."
He paused, then suddenly raised his voice, "Family Master, seize this opportunity!"
Seize the opportunity?
Feng Shiren's pupils trembled, and he suddenly looked at Du Ge. Clearly, he was tempted.
Fuck!
Feng Jiu almost bit his tongue. Damn, he really managed to turn the situation around. This one must have come from an elite academy!
