TRWSB – Chapter 174 Impulse is the devil

Mo Yun Trading Company.

“Young Master Zhuang, this is the Demon-attracting liquid. Just drop this into the sea, and it will attract sea beasts. However, this substance is difficult to control,” Mo Yun’an explained.

Zhuang Hao nodded, his eyes shining. “This is the one. Hand it over to me.”

“Zhuang Hao, what you have here is the highest quality Demon-attracting Liquid. It can easily attract sea beasts of level eight or even level nine,” Mo Yun’an reminded him.

“I know,” Zhuang Hao replied calmly.

The manager beside Mo Yun’an frowned and, with concern, cautioned, “Young Master Zhuang, this is very dangerous. You must be careful with the dosage!”

Zhuang Hao took the Demon-attracting Liquid and hurried off.

“Young Master, the Demon-attracting Liquid Zhuang Hao took is of too high a quality. If he really attracts a level nine sea beast, what should we do?” the manager beside Mo Yun’an asked.

Mo Yun’an smiled nonchalantly, tapping his palms with his folding fan. “We’re just selling the product. What customers do with it is not our concern.”

“I’m curious, though. What exactly is Young Master Zhuang planning? Does he intend to kill a level nine sea beast?” the manager chuckled.

Mo Yun’an placed his folding fan against his forehead, thoughtful. “Well, it’s not completely impossible.”

The manager glanced at him and chuckled awkwardly. “Young Master, what are you saying?”

Mo Yun’an laughed and said nothing.

City Lord’s Mansion.

Qi Shaorong looked at Qi Heng with a puzzled expression. “What happened? Why the strange look?”

“Young Master Zhuang went into the sea, killed three level nine sea beasts, and subdued six level eight sea beasts, then handed them over to Mo Yun Trading Company,” Qi Heng replied helplessly.

Qi Shaorong’s temples throbbed. “This guy… has he lost his mind? Tang Tianfeng is still in the Bihai Plains, and Zhuang Hao, what is he up to?”

“Where is he?” Qi Shaorong asked, closing his eyes.

“He’s by the sea. The business handover might take a while,” Qi Heng said.

Qi Shaorong sighed and rubbed his forehead. “It seems the words from Hai Ling really hit him hard.”

“Young Master Zhuang is making quite a scene,” Qi Heng said, massaging his temples.

Zhuang Hao stood by the sea, three huge level nine sea beasts lying dead at his feet, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

Zhuang Hao had his hands on his hips, looking impatient.

Mo Yun’an brought over several appraisers to inspect the three level nine sea beast corpses.

“You really are impressive, Young Master Zhuang,” Mo Yun’an said.

Zhuang Hao crossed his arms and glanced at the sky. “Hurry up, I’m hungry and want to get back for a meal.”

Mo Yun’an nodded. “I’ll make sure they finish quickly.”

Noticing Zhuang Hao’s impatience, Mo Yun’an teased, “Young Master Zhuang, do you have something urgent? Are you rushing back to have dinner with the City Lord?”

Zhuang Hao nodded and responded, “Hmm.”

Mo Yun’an was taken aback by Zhuang Hao’s reaction.

City Lord’s Mansion.

“You’re back!” Qi Shaorong greeted Zhuang Hao, who was full of energy.

“Yes, here, this is for you,” Zhuang Hao said with a broad smile.

Qi Shaorong looked at the card in his hand. “This is from Mo Yun Trading Company?”

Zhuang Hao nodded. “Yes.”

“How much is it?” Qi Shaorong asked.

“One hundred million,” Zhuang Hao replied.

Qi Shaorong was speechless. So it’s true, once you have absolute strength and are willing to take risks, making money is not that difficult. Although the business of “Qingcheng Cosmetics” was big, the money didn’t come as fast as killing sea beasts like Zhuang Hao did!

“From now on, don’t do anything this dangerous,” Qi Shaorong advised.

“Don’t worry, I’m a Beastmaster. As long as I use my Beast Taming technique to confuse the sea beasts first, their danger is greatly reduced. There won’t be any issues,” Zhuang Hao replied.

Qi Shaorong couldn’t help but sigh. “There have never been poor Beastmasters in history. With that kind of skill, how could you ever be poor?”

Tang Tianfeng, in his room, was still unsettled.

“You saw it, right? Zhuang Hao easily killed three level nine sea beasts?” Tang Tianfeng asked the trembling black-robed elder.

“Yes, I saw it. Zhuang Hao poured an entire bottle of Demon-attracting Liquid into the sea, instantly attracting several sea beasts. Zhuang Hao is a Beastmaster. He probably used his Beast Taming technique to confuse the beasts before slaughtering them,” the elder replied.

Tang Tianfeng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, “It seems he really is level nine. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy.”

Tang Tianfeng clenched his fists, a tinge of jealousy flashing in his heart. If he had Zhuang Hao’s strength, he wouldn’t need to scheme so much.

“Your Highness, with Zhuang Hao’s strength, we must inform the King immediately,” the black-robed elder said.

Tang Tianfeng nodded. “Yes, but it might already be too late. Zhuang Hao is level nine. To surpass him, only a Saint-level expert can do it.”

Tang Tianfeng rubbed his fingers, thinking, Zhuang Hao must have been hiding his strength while in the capital. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have suddenly reached level nine. But why did he suddenly choose to expose it?

Tang Tianfeng furrowed his brow, feeling confused. Zhuang Hao had always hidden his abilities so well! Why did he suddenly choose to reveal them? Could it be that Zhuang Hao felt his strength was sufficient and became confident?

City Lord’s Mansion.

“Young Master Zhuang looks in good spirits,” Tang Tianfeng commented, eyeing the glowing Zhuang Hao.

Zhuang Hao stretched his arms and legs. “I’m fine.”

Tang Tianfeng looked at Qi Shaorong and said, “Qi Shaorong, I’m preparing to return to the capital soon.”

Qi Shaorong looked at him, secretly relieved. “Your Highness, are you leaving so soon?”

“The King is worried about the two of you, so he sent me to check. Since both of you are fine, I can return now,” Tang Tianfeng explained.

“With the dangers here in the Bihai Plains, Your Highness’s safety cannot be guaranteed. So, I won’t keep you any longer,” Qi Shaorong said.

Tang Tianfeng smiled. “Alright.”

Watching Tang Tianfeng leave, Qi Shaorong muttered, “I didn’t expect him to leave so quickly.”

“He got what he wanted, so it’s time for him to go,” Zhuang Hao replied casually.

Qi Shaorong nodded. “That’s true.”

Shen Yuan stood in the courtyard, watching Zhuang Hao, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

“Shen Yuan, what are you doing?” Zhuang Hao asked.

“Just looking at you,” Shen Yuan replied.

A wry smile appeared on Shen Yuan’s face. Back in the capital, he and Zhuang Hao had been rivals. He always felt there was a gap between them, but it wasn’t too big. However, now the gap was so vast that he could only look up to Zhuang Hao. How did Zhuang Hao achieve such a height?

“I already have Shaorong.”

Shen Yuan forced a smile. “I’m just looking. I won’t make it unclear and fight with Qi Shaorong. After all, Qi Shaorong is terrifying.” He paused, then added, “Honestly, Zhuang Hao, your strength is astonishing! I thought Tang Tianfeng would stay longer, but you scared him off.”

Zhuang Hao didn’t respond.

Zhuang Hao narrowed his eyes, thinking: Tang Tianfeng has left, but that King with his devious mind might create trouble again.

In the capital.

“Uncle San, I heard that the second prince has returned?” Zhuang Qian asked.

Zhuang Renquan nodded. “Yes, the King seems to be planning to recall your elder brother and Qi Shaorong.”

Zhuang Qian frowned, dissatisfied. “What’s the King planning to do with my brother?”

“Maybe to the frontlines,” Zhuang Renquan said.

The war between the Rong Kingdom and the Jing Kingdom had been going on for a while. The King had initially thought it would be an easy victory, but unfortunately, Jing Kingdom’s strength wasn’t weak, and the situation had stalemated.

Zhuang Qian looked at Zhuang Renquan. “But Qi Shaorong was just appointed lord not long ago!”

“The King wants to recall Qi Shaorong. He won’t care how long he’s been in charge,” Zhuang Renquan said.

Zhuang Qian furrowed his brows. “Has my brother’s strength been exposed?”

Zhuang Renquan shook his head. “Your brother is too impulsive.”

“Brother must have been provoked. He wasn’t this impulsive before,” Zhuang Qian said.

“Either way, it’s good that your brother is back. It seems like he’s been following Qi Shaorong around. The Zhuang family might already be forgotten,” Zhuang Renquan sighed.
