‘Spirit beast?’ Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow. This was the first time he had seen someone with a spirit beast.

As the grumbling lady in the system explained, a spirit beast is a spiritual creature that is connected to the cultivator through their soul. The spirit beast lives in an alternate plane that is inaccessible to humans. Only the possessor of a spirit beast can summon the creature to aid them, and the cultivator can draw power from the spirit beast and use some of its abilities.

Normally, one cannot have a spirit beast until they make a contract with it. However, in rare cases, a spirit beast initiates a contract with a cultivator on its own accord.

Spirit beasts have no restrictions on travelling to the human plane, but due to the foreign enviornment here, they prefer not to linger around for long.

‘But she is not a cultivator! How can she have a spirit beast system?’ Zhang Wei was puzzled.

[Perhaps she was in a near-death situation when one of the spirit beasts spotted her and made a contract with her to save her life. Other than that, she can’t use its powers or summon it until she becomes a cultivator.] the system explained.

Zhang Wei’s fascination with spirit beasts grew, and he couldn’t help but imagine the power he could wield with one by his side.

However, his excitement was short-lived as he realized that contracting with a spirit beast was not an easy task.

He would have to wait until he stumbled upon one naturally, and the chances of that happening were very slim.

“Aren’t you quite bold? In the pretext of information, you came inside and are blatantly staring at me? Do you not fear for your life?” The Dragon Lady spoke, her eyes narrowing in annoyance.

She was used to people coming to her for information, but this was different.

Zhang Wei’s boldness caught her off guard, and she couldn’t help but feel slightly impressed, even though she was irritated by his presence.

Zhang Wei’s expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, “Oh, you’re right! I don’t fear for my life. So tell me, Long Yufei, what will you do now?” He took a step closer towards her, his eyes piercing.

“Long Yufei? What nonsense are you saying? If you have no information, get out right now and don’t waste my time,” The Dragon Lady snapped, her face brimming with disgust.

Zhang Wei tilted his head in confusion. He couldn’t believe that she didn’t know who Long Yufei was. “Your name isn’t Long Yufei?” he asked, surprised.

The Dragon Lady furrowed her brows in confusion, and it was clear that she had never heard of this name before.

“My name is Rose, I don’t know who Long Yufei is. Give me the information you have or scram away,” she said, her voice tinged with impatience. 𝔬𝗏𝔩xt.𝑐𝑂𝑚

Rose’s heart raced as she tried to decipher the man’s intentions.

She couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off about him.

Her eyes followed his every move as he strolled past her, his gait impossibly smooth.

She couldn’t help but frown as he settled down on the bed, the flowers crumpling beneath his weight. Before she could open her mouth to scold him, he spoke up, his voice low and serious. “Don’t worry I do have information for you, one that will affect the whole underground of the qingyun city.”

Her heart skipped a beat at his words, realizing the gravity of what he was about to reveal.

The underground of Qingyun city was a dangerous place and any information about it could mean the difference between life and death.

She hesitated for a moment before asking the inevitable question, “What do you need in exchange…?” Her mind raced as she tried to come up with a suitable offer.

Zhang Wei’s chuckle snapped her out of her thoughts, sending shivers down her spine.

She couldn’t quite place it, but there was something unnerving about the way he smiled. “Why don’t you first hear the information and then decide what it’s worth?” he proposed.

Rose narrowed her gaze, her eyes fixated on Zhang Wei as she mulled over his words.

After much contemplation, she came to the conclusion that it wasn’t a bad deal, and thus, she agreed with him.

With a small nod, she signaled her assent to him.

Zhang Wei saw her agreement and slowly rose to his feet, his footsteps measured as he gradually approached her.

As he drew closer, Rose couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease.

She could feel his eyes boring into her, fixated on her red, shining lips, as if anticipating a kiss.

However, before she could react, he abruptly shifted his focus away from her lips and leaned in closer towards her ear, his breath hot against her skin as he began to whisper.

Rose frowned as he got too close for comfort, but she remained still, listening intently to Zhang Wei’s words.

Zhang Wei’s lips curved into a sly smile as he leaned in closer to Rose, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

He whispered into her ear, revealing a juicy piece of information that would surely make headlines. “The information is – the boss of the notorious White Tigers gang, also known as the rumored Dragon Lady, is hopelessly infatuated with a man named Ye Feng,” he said, his voice low and conspiratorial. “She even prepared herself on her birthday to handover to him, but she suffered a cold rejection, yet again. Now what do you think would happen Rose? Isn’t this a breaking news, enough to shake the whole underworld?”

Rose’s eyes opened wide, her whole body trembling with shock and disbelief as she processed the explosive news that Zhang Wei had just shared with her.

This was the last thing she had expected to hear today, and her extreme reaction seemed to confirm that Zhang Wei’s guess was spot on.

Suddenly, a cold realization washed over Rose. She was also known as the Dragon Lady, the very person that Zhang Wei claimed was infatuated with Ye Feng.

Summing up the events from today, an extreme sense of anger filled her, as she felt Zhang Wei was low key mocking her.

Her hands clenched into fists as she struggled to contain her anger and frustration. “You Pi-“, she began to curse, but before she could finish her sentence, Zhang Wei caught her mouth to prevent her from uttering any more expletives.

With one hand on her mouth, he used the other hand to expertly maneuver her body, spinning her around and pushing her onto the cushiony bed.

!!

Rose gasped as she felt the soft mattress beneath her, her eyes meeting Zhang Wei’s intense gaze.

She could feel her heart pounding in her chest as she struggled to catch her breath.

Zhang Wei couldn’t contain his amusement as he watched the woman’s distress. It was almost as if she was a helpless prey caught in his trap.

The feeling of power was exhilarating, alomost as if consumed in a never-ending loop of happiness.

With a snap of his fingers, a flame ignited from his thumb, casting a warm glow across the room.

Rose eyes widened in disbelief, and her mind went into overdrive. Had she just witnessed a man conjuring fire from his bare hand?

The shock was almost too much to bear, and if her mouth wasn’t gagged, she would have let out a blood-curdling scream.

Her body tried to stand up on its own, but the weight above her felt like an immovable mountain.

The pressure was suffocating, and she struggled to catch her breath.

Her mind raced as she tried to come up with a plan, but it became evident that she was no match for Zhang Wei.

As the flame flickered and danced in his hand, Zhang Wei’s eyes glinted with a dangerous glimmer.

He was far more powerful than she had ever imagined, and that realization sent shivers down her spine.

Zhang Wei’s grin widened as he watched the woman’s disbelieving expression.

He felt a sense of satisfaction at the fear he was able to instill in her. It was almost as if she was a mere puppet in his hands.

“Now, listen carefully,” he said, his voice low and menacing. “I will release you in one minute. But once you’re free, you will tell me everything you know about Ye Feng and your relationship with him. And make no mistake, if you try to play any tricks, I will burn you with the same flames.”

As he spoke, the small flame in his hand grew bigger and brighter, casting an eerie glow across the room.

The heat emanating from it was intense, and Rose could feel the sweat beads forming on her forehead.

Her eyes bulged out in disbelief as she witnessed the supernatural display right in front of her.

This man was not to be trifled with.

He was a real magician, and the power he wielded was beyond her comprehension.

With an ugly expression on her face, she nodded, her fear palpable. She knew that one wrong move could lead to her demise.

Zhang Wei smiled in satisfaction. He could sense the fear and desperation in her face, and it only fueled his sense of power.
