Wild Dogs

Yang Fan took the wine that Jin Bufan poured for him, glanced at it, and hesitated.

He naturally didn't want to drink the wine, since he wasn't sure if there was anything wrong with it.

But seeing the other party's eager eyes, Yang Fan raised an eyebrow slightly.

He's only just arrived here; even if these people wanted to deal with him, they wouldn't act so immediately.

Otherwise, we would have offended the Flower Fairy terribly.

Yang Fan calmly picked up his wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp.

The wine was much clearer and more refreshing than he had imagined, and after drinking it, a surge of spiritual energy rushed into his mind.

Although it wasn't as good as the fine wines that Chippen had prepared, it was still quite good.

"Good wine. It seems Brother Jin is also a connoisseur of wine."

Jin Bufan was overjoyed, and his initial negative impression of Yang Fan lessened considerably.

"Yes, yes, I spent a lot of money to buy this wine from a nearby wine valley."

"The wine in that wine valley is worth a fortune; it's not easy to buy even a single pot of it."

Then he began to boast about how amazing his wines were.

His wines were good, but they paled in comparison to those of Qi Peilan.

However, Yang Fan would naturally not do anything that would spoil the fun.

He listened to the other person with a smile, occasionally adding a word of praise.

Seeing that he seemed quite interested, Jin Bufan was very satisfied and poured him several more cups.

After a few drinks, the atmosphere became noticeably more lively.

Yang Fan glanced around and then lowered his voice.

"Gentlemen, I wonder how many days you've been here?"

Zhuo Yu chuckled softly.

"I've only been here for two or three days, but this Brother Jin arrived a month ago."

He glanced at Jin Bufan.

Jin Bufan's face immediately flushed slightly.

"I had no choice but to come here early in order to win the favor of the beauty."

Although Yang Fan was unclear about Jin Bufan's intentions towards the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers, he had guessed a bit about them.

He nodded slightly.

"That's true. It's understandable to come early to please the lady."

Jin Bufan was immediately very satisfied and drank several more cups with Yang Fan.

After a few rounds of drinks, Yang Fan gently put down his glass.

"By the way, I'm new here and not very familiar with this secret realm exploration."

"I wonder what advice you two senior brothers have for me? May I hear from you?"

"What kind of things will happen at the place we're going to this time, and what dangers are involved?"

Jin Bufan glanced at Yang Fan and waved his hand.

"Junior brother, don't be nervous. The information I have is probably not much different from yours."

"To this day, the Flower Fairy has not told us her exact location."

"I guess they'll tell us when we set off."

Yang Fan's heart stirred.

It seems the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers is determined to obtain that secret realm.

Even the two who arrived here earlier were unaware of the specifics of the secret realm.

He didn't say much, just smiled and nodded.

Zhuo Yu, standing to the side, lowered his voice.

"All the disciples we were invited to this time are cultivators with powerful spiritual senses."

"Junior brother, you must have a strong spiritual sense to be able to get here."

Yang Fan felt a chill run down his spine.

He could tell that this person was trying to test his capabilities.

However, Yang Fan could understand, since they were about to collaborate.

It wouldn't make sense if a teammate was a weak and incompetent person.

Yang Fan nodded.

"My spiritual sense isn't particularly strong."

"However, the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers said that my spiritual sense is still intact, so she invited me here."

Zhuo Yu looked around and then lowered his voice.

"Since the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers has invited you here to break the restriction together..."

"I wonder what benefits the fairy promised you."

Zhuo Yu stared at Yang Fan and asked in a low voice.

Clearly, he wanted to compare the promises made by the two of them with those made by Yang Fan.

Yang Fan smiled slightly.

"I really cannot disclose that."

Zhuo Yu shook his head slightly.

"Why is it inconvenient?"

He lowered his voice.

"There are only the three of us here, so we can discuss it amongst ourselves without anyone else knowing."

Yang Fan chuckled softly.

"Although you said you wouldn't tell anyone."

"But if I make a higher request, wouldn't you go and discuss it with the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers again?"

Yang Fan glanced at Zhuo Yu meaningfully.

Zhuo Yu was taken aback, then took a step back with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Hey, you're certainly cautious enough."

"Alright then, let me tell you about the benefits I received this time."

"That should at least show my sincerity, right?"

Yang Fan raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, I wonder what the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers promised you?"

Zhuo Yu lowered his voice.

"The Fairy of a Hundred Flowers promised me that after this matter is accomplished, she will give me three top-grade spiritual artifacts, plus 100,000 spirit stones."

He licked his lips with a hint of smugness.

"One hundred thousand spirit stones."

Upon hearing this number, Yang Fan raised an eyebrow.

One hundred thousand spirit stones is indeed a lot, not to mention there are three top-grade spirit artifacts.

Yang Fan nodded thoughtfully.

To be honest, this thing is probably very close in value to the Golden Elixir.

However, Yang Fan thought that this thing was still somewhat different from the Golden Essence Pill.

Especially when it comes to top-grade spiritual artifacts, while ordinary cultivators might be envious, Yang Fan is even less concerned about them.

Seeing Yang Fan's thoughtful expression, Zhuo Yu approached again.

"So, what benefits will you receive, sir?"

Yang Fan smiled gently.

"I'm probably about the same as you, so there's not much to say."

Upon hearing that Yang Fan was unwilling to speak, Zhuo Yu immediately snorted coldly, clearly somewhat displeased.

However, Yang Fan had no intention of wasting time with him.

Yang Fan turned his gaze to Jin Bufan beside him.

"Brother Jin, what is the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers willing to give you?"

Jin Bufan raised his head slightly.

Before he could speak, Zhuo Yu sneered from the side.

"What benefits did he get? He's paying out of his own pocket to help the Flower Fairy."

Zhuo Yu explained it to Yang Fan, and Yang Fan finally understood.

It turns out that this person was deeply in love with the Flower Fairy. After meeting her, he volunteered to help her, saying that his divine sense was strong enough.

After examining the man, the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers confirmed that his spiritual sense was indeed strong enough before she agreed to let him stay.

As for benefits, there are none at all.

Jin Bufan followed the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers around like a puppy, showering her with attention and spending countless spirit stones.

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan couldn't help but shake his head.

Seeing that Yang Fan and Zhuo Yu both looked somewhat disdainful, Jin Bufan immediately puffed out his chest.

"Look at the way you're looking at me. Isn't it something to be happy about to spend some spirit stones on your loved one?"

Yang Fan was taken aback, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it made sense.

He nodded slightly.

"That's true, you wouldn't necessarily be happy doing other things either."

"Spending spirit stones on the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers will actually make you happy, so there's nothing wrong with that."

Yang Fan turned his gaze to Zhuo Yu, who was standing to the side.

"Brother Zhuo's spiritual sense seems very strong, to be chosen by the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers."
