Chapter 2488 The Plight of the All-Selling Merchant
If he were the Almighty Merchant, perhaps he would be willing to purchase the King Kun Egg. And surely, it would fetch a handsome price.
However, the thought of selling the King Kun Egg for mere money made him feel as though he was getting the short end of the stick. After all, an Immortal-level kun, if raised properly, would be a treasure beyond measure. The catch was, one needed the means to raise such a kun.
Song Shuhang slipped into deep contemplation, his finger lightly tracing the name of the Almighty Merchant on his list of contacts.
"What are you up to? What's going on?" Suddenly, the Almighty Merchant sent a message.
As a top-tier Immortal, the Almighty Merchant sensed Song Shuhang mentioning him from afar.
Moreover, through his link to the cultivation chat friend list, he distinctly felt Song Shuhang's finger stroking his name back and forth.
The Almighty Merchant instantly felt a chill down his spine.
Was Tyrannical Song trying to trick him again?
"Cough, senior, are you interested in a deal?" Seeing the Almighty Merchant initiate contact, Song Shuhang seized the opportunity to pitch the Kun King Egg to him.
"An egg deal!" The Almighty Merchant sneered. What kind of business could there be between him and Profound Sage Tyrannical Song involving an egg?
"Yes, yes, yes, senior. It's about the egg business." Song Shuhang responded.
The Almighty Merchant was speechless.
LCough, it's like this, senior. I have an Immortal-level kun egg in my possession. I wonder if the Almighty Merchant would be interested in acquiring it?" Song Shuhang quickly added - a little mischief was fine, but he didn't want to blow the deal.
"Kun egg? Immortal level? King Kun?" The Almighty Merchant replied swiftly.
"Yes, exactly." Song Shuhang responded.
"I'm blocking you. Goodbye... No, let's never meet again!" the Almighty Merchant replied.
Song Shuhang was confused.
On the other side, the Almighty Merchant took out his notebook and recorded Tyrannical Song's name again, this time with a five-star mark.
King Kun was a major client of his!
Moreover, he was a five-star, high-quality customer.
Did you think King Kun amassed all those treasures in his belly by himself?
No, most of those treasures were actually purchased from the Almighty Merchant!
Such a stable, high-quality five-star client had been mocked by Tyrannical Song.
The Almighty Merchant's heart bled.
..
"Strange, did I offend the Almighty Merchant again?" Song Shuhang mused, bewildered.
Why did the Almighty Merchant react so strongly to the idea of selling the Kun King Egg?
Wait a second...
Could King Kun be a friend of the Almighty Merchant?
"I was too careless. Before attempting to sell King Kun, I should have inquired about the relationship between the Almighty Merchant and King Kun." Song Shuhang massaged his temples.
He was still too young and often lacked foresight in his dealings.
"Wait, that's not right either. If King Kun is a friend of the Almighty Merchant, wouldn't he want to buy King Kun instead?"
Should he reach out to the Almighty Merchant for confirmation?
Or... should he secretly consult with Fairy Can Enter Anything?
As Song Shuhang pondered, Senior White Two responded to his message. "Eh? A kun?"
Senior White Two seemed interested in King Kun.
"Yes, Senior White. It's an Immortal-level kun. After I defeated it, it transformed into an egg. The quality is exceptionally high!"?Seeing Senior White Two's interest, Song Shuhang hurriedly recommended King Kun to him.
"Do you plan to use it to pay off your karmic debt?" Senior White Two asked with a smile.
Song Shuhang honestly replied, "After all, I have no way to deal with it."
"Alright, I'll take it then." Senior White Two responded, "I'm currently studying beast taming and am curious to see if I can turn this King Kun Egg into something. If I succeed, you'll reap the benefits."
"Great ~ Senior White. I'll send the egg to you right away." Song Shuhang laughed.
"Done." He gently tapped the Kun King Egg in his hand.
Pavilion Master Chu was dumbfounded.
"Stewed?" the White Dragon asked.
"No, Senior White Two is interested in the egg. If he successfully tames King Kun, we'll surely benefit." Song Shuhang replied.
Beast taming? King Kun scoffed inwardly.
Tyrannical Song's biggest mistake was not killing it. Its essence remained intact. Given a little time, it could regain its peak strength in just a few months!
No matter who Senior White Two was, King Kun planned to return to the sea within months.
As King Kun pondered this, Song Shuhang extended his hand and transferred it into his Inner World. Then, using the Inner World as a gateway, he sent King Kun into the world of the black lotus, where Senior White Two's true form resided.
"Take care, Senior King Kun," Song Shuhang said as the Kun egg was caught by a pair of slender hands.
King Kun's consciousness expanded, eager to see who dared to claim they could tame him. But the next moment, he saw the figure he least wanted to encounter.
More handsome than Yuan Zi, with an even more terrifying and profound strength. This was...
The ruler of the Netherworld?!
"Senior White Two is the ruler of the Netherworld?" King Kun's heart churned with shock.
Who in the universe could have foreseen this?!
Profound Sage Tyrannical Song was actually allied with the ruler of the Netherworld, and their relationship was evidently close.
Wait a minute.
Hadn't the current Heavenly Dao collapsed? Why was there still a ruler of the Netherworld?
Moreover, King Kun vaguely remembered that the person who had vied with the Scholarly Sage for the Heavenly Dao wasn't this individual!
"Two? Hehehe." Senior White Two chuckled, gripping the egg firmly.
In that moment, King Kun felt true despair.
"My lord, when did you take an interest in beast taming?" asked the hamster, puzzled.
"Not really interested," Senior White Two replied while tossing King Kun aside. "But I've suddenly become intrigued by the study of immortal culinary techniques."
"Oh," the hamster said, its mouth watering. "It should be very delicious."
But if Master wasn't interested in beast taming, why did he accept this King Kun egg from Tyrannical Song?
..
On the other side, after handing over King Kun to Senior White Two, one of the karmic traces on Song Shuhang's wrist faded away.
"I feel much lighter," Song Shuhang remarked.
Being free of debt indeed lightens the soul, doesn't it?
Not far away, the black-skinned Soft Feather, Fairy Creation, and the virtuous lamia gathered all the treasures King Kun had scattered to save his life, delivering them to Song Shuhang.
With King Kun's wealth now his, Song Shuhang's assets had reached an unprecedented peak!
"Let's head back to the world of the golden lotus and check on Yuan Zi's condition," Song Shuhang decided, transferring his wealth to his Inner World.
Then, with the three fairies in tow, he ventured into the world of the golden lotus.
