Although the spirit beasts could not speak human language, they could understand it.
Now that Ha Ge was leaving, they quickly moved closer.
The siblings didn't mind; bringing a few more spirit beasts was a trivial matter.
However, the group of five found themselves in a predicament.
Hearing the man and woman refer to their father as "Father Emperor," they assumed they must be princes and princesses.
It seemed difficult for them to follow the group to the imperial palace.
"You guys don't need to follow," Ye Fan instructed immediately.
Damn it.
Had they gotten so used to being doglegs for that dog that they were addicted?
"You've all been tired these past few days, so you're on vacation!" Er Ha cooperatively wagged its tail and continued to play in Liang Rujing's arms.
"Little one, you're too mischievous, stop fooling around," Liang Rujing scolded with a laugh, pulling the dog's head away.
"Right, take good care of my precious box, don't lose it!" Er Ha reminded them again before leaving.
The Imperial Palace.
In a secret chamber.
Seeing the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox in Liang Rujing's arms, the Emperor froze...
"Father Emperor, that's how it is," Liang Meikong quickly integrated the jade pendant into the little fox's body again. "What should we do next?"
Liang Dekui waved his hand and rubbed his forehead.
This matter was a bit too serious...
After all, this was not some random cat or dog, but the legendary Nine-tailed Spirit Fox!
Ye Fan, who could casually produce a legendary spirit beast that had long since disappeared, could not be an ordinary person.
The problem was that Liang Dekui couldn't figure out what Ye Fan was up to.
What did he mean by having Little Jiu bring back the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox?
What was his purpose in coming to the Imperial City?
His head ached...
"Father Emperor, second brother," Liang Rujing spoke up. "I think you guys are just overthinking things for no reason."
"Think about it, if Ye Fan really wanted to do something to us, what could we do?" Liang Rujing continued to analyze. "You guys just like to complicate simple matters."
Although Liang Rujing usually appeared a bit naive and slow-witted, it didn't mean she was stupid.
The father and son exchanged glances.
It seemed to be the case, didn't it?
Since Ye Fan dared to let Little Jiu bring back the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox, it meant he wasn't afraid of them keeping it for themselves.
Needless to say, he must have a very powerful expert behind him!
Even if he really intended to use them to execute some scheme, they truly had no way to resist...
As for Ye Fan saying he was giving it to Little Jiu?
Were they kidding?
That was a Nine-tailed Spirit Fox!
Even a supreme expert would be reluctant to part with it!
Forget it, let's not think about it anymore, we'll take it one step at a time...
Ye Fan's Courtyard.
After the siblings left, the group of five自觉ly picked up their tools and started cleaning.
Although Brother Dog was their leader, Ye Fan was also Brother Dog's master.
Facing the ultimate boss, they had to perform well!
"You guys don't need to bother," Ye Fan beckoned them over. "Come, come."
"Senior Brother Ye, please instruct us!" The group of five rushed over.
"You've worked hard traveling all this way, and it's the festival in the Imperial City. Go out and have some fun."
After Ye Fan finished speaking, he directly took out a large piece of gold from his ring.
A rough estimate put it at several thousand jin...
"No, no, Senior Brother Ye, we'll stay and serve you." The group of five was startled and repeatedly waved their hands.
They were mere Qi Refining realm cultivators; they had never seen so much gold in their lives!
If they were given it, they wouldn't dare to take it...
"This is my command as your senior brother!" Ye Fan put on a stern face. "Do you understand what a command is?!"
"Senior Brother Ye..." The corners of the group of five's eyes welled up.
"Go, go," Ye Fan waved his hand. "Go out, eat what you should eat, play where you should play, don't waste your time here."
The group of five tearfully stored the mountain of gold into their rings and bowed to Ye Fan before leaving.
Ye Fan's mouth twitched.
You can bow, but why are you crying...
Watching the backs of the group of five as they left, Ye Fan let out a sigh.
He had no particular opinions or thoughts about these five junior brothers themselves.
The problem was that these five had been with Brother Dog for too long, and they might have been corrupted by the system!
To avoid them backstabbing him, it was best to send them away!
Ye Fan hummed a little tune and headed towards the kitchen.
After taking two steps, Ye Fan suddenly froze.
Speaking of which, that dog system hadn't made any movement for a while.
Needless to say, it must be plotting to set a trap for him!
He had been living too comfortably lately, which made him a bit too relaxed in his guard!
He had been careless, so careless!
But it was alright.
As long as he didn't cultivate, no matter what tricks that dog system played, they would be useless!
As long as he adhered to this key point, he would be invincible!
Standing on the bustling streets of the Imperial City, the group of five was completely excited!
This was the first time they had ever been to the Imperial City in their lives. The prosperity of the Imperial City was far beyond what a small place like Purple Cloud Sect could compare to.
Although they had seen it once before when they returned, they were all rushing at the time and hadn't taken a close look.
Due to their limited talent, they had little hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage in this lifetime.
Although they were cultivators at the Qi Refining stage, they were only slightly better than ordinary mortals.
Techniques like flying through the sky and escaping through the earth were out of the question...
Therefore, their mindset was not much different from that of mortals.
Normally, even if they saw such a prosperous Imperial City, they would have no particular feelings.
But now it was different.
Now they had money!
They could embrace this prosperity!
Money was indeed the root of all evil!
This damnable feeling.
It felt so f***ing good!
Thinking of this, the posture of the five straightened instantly!
Even their walking steps became powerful and vigorous!
Not far in front of them, there happened to be a brothel.
The five exchanged glances.
The place of pleasure, the sinful place that corrupted the soul!
Vulgar, lowbrow, kitschy!
Let's go!
Let's go and oppose the three vulgarities!
The madam at the entrance did not go up to greet the five upon seeing them.
Not everyone was qualified to be personally received by her.
Especially these five in front of her, their clothes were torn and old, clearly not having much money to spend.
The leader of the group of five projected his spiritual sense into his ring and cut off a piece of gold.
"A few girls, and a table of top-grade banquet," the leader tossed the gold into the madam's hand.
It wasn't very large, only about two or three jin.
The madam shoved the gold into her sleeve and looked at the group of five as if they were her long-lost fathers!
"Why are you gentlemen only arriving now? The girls have missed you terribly, quickly, quickly, please come in!"
A private room on the second floor.
The five brothers sat before a lavish banquet, with seven or eight young and beautiful girls by their sides.
The five looked at the beautiful girls around them and chuckled, rubbing their hands.
Ever since they became Er Ha's underlings, they had stayed by Er Ha's side day and night.
This had left them with absolutely no private space or time.
This situation had been going on for several months, and they were truly bursting with pent-up energy!
"Young masters, have a drink," the girls held up their wine cups and offered them to the five.
"Get lost, get lost, what wine!" The five pushed away the wine cups. "Hurry up and get down to business first!"
