"Fifteen hundred million isn't too expensive. Do you have any more?" Ye Tian asked.
The gaunt man replied, "This is our first official transaction. If it goes smoothly, I'll look for you again if I get more goods."
Ye Tian nodded. "Alright, I'll take the fifteen hundred million. You can give me this car too."
The other party nodded, tossed him the keys, and said, "The account is the same as before. Just make sure it's in by tomorrow morning."
This person clearly wasn't worried about Ye Tian reneging on the deal. After handing over the keys, he turned and left.
"Can I get your name, friend?" Ye Tian asked.
"Lingnan Bi family, Bi Shiwu."
"Brother Bi, let's cooperate more in the future," Ye Tian said.
He then got into the car, preparing to take the batch of medicinal amber to Jiuhua Mountain Villa for processing.
A few kilometers after the car drove off, as it passed a mountain road, a pickup truck suddenly swerved out from a side road. The pickup accelerated sharply, cutting in front of Ye Tian's car, and then slammed on the brakes.
With a screech of tires, Ye Tian stopped his car and then said to the air expressionlessly, "Sister Xi, they're probably trying to rob us."
At some point, Su Lingxi had already taken a seat in the back of the car. She said calmly, "Three people, one Martial King, two Qi cultivators."
"If not for Sister Xi accompanying me, I'd have to run for it today," Ye Tian remarked.
"Do you want to gather more information?" Su Lingxi asked.
"Let them come over," Ye Tian said.
Three people, two men and one woman, alighted from the pickup truck. The woman walked at the forefront. She possessed a devilish figure, with a slender waist and full hips, and her face was exceptionally beautiful. She swayed with every step as she walked.
She walked to the car window with a smile and gently tapped on it.
Ye Tian rolled down the window and smiled. "Beautiful lady, how are you driving? You almost made me rear-end you."
The woman chuckled. "Little brother, what are you carrying in your car?"
"Medicinal amber, worth billions," Ye Tian replied.
The woman giggled. "It seems little brother knows what we're here for. Then please cooperate and get out of the car quickly."
Ye Tian turned to Su Lingxi and said, "Sister Xi, they want to rob me."
Su Lingxi raised her delicate hand, and a ball of ethereal blue flame appeared in her palm, almost transparent. She said faintly, "Is that so? Then let them have a taste of my 'Nine Nether Ghost Fire'."
Seeing the flame, the woman's face turned ashen with fear. She immediately retreated several meters and shouted, "We didn't know a senior was here. We apologize for the disturbance, we'll leave immediately!"
"Hold on!" Ye Tian's expression darkened. "Did I say you could leave?"
The woman forced an awkward smile and said, "Friend, we were blind. Please let us go, we'd be eternally grateful!"
Ye Tian sized her up and asked, "What's your name?"
"This humble one is Hua Yujiao," the woman replied.
"Hua Yujiao, you dare to try and rob me? You have quite the nerve. If I let you walk away unharmed, where would that leave my reputation?"
The other two dared not approach, their faces growing paler by the second.
Hua Yujiao took a deep breath. "What do you want?"
Ye Tian beckoned her over. Hua Yujiao gritted her teeth and slowly walked closer, her eyes fixed on Ye Tian.
"From now on, you will be my personal attendant for a full year. Then I'll let you go," Ye Tian stated.
Hua Yujiao was furious. "You want me to be your attendant?"
Ye Tian then looked at Su Lingxi. "Sister Xi, if she doesn't agree, burn her."
Su Lingxi waved her hand, and the flame flew over.
Hua Yujiao screamed and said, "I agree!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the flame in the air disappeared, and she was already drenched in a cold sweat from fear.
Ye Tian then looked at the other two. "Are they with you?"
Hua Yujiao nodded. "They follow me."
"Then that's perfect. You'll all work for me from now on. Don't try anything funny, or I have a hundred ways to deal with you!"
Hua Yujiao gritted her teeth. "Understood!"
Ye Tian sat in the back seat and said calmly, "You drive!"
In front of a Celestial Being, Hua Yujiao's body stiffened, but she didn't dare to disobey. She obediently got into the car and continued driving. The other two followed behind in the pickup truck.
Upon reaching Jiuhua Mountain Villa, Ye Tian had someone arrange accommodations for them and then moved all the medicinal amber into the warehouse.
Ye Tian looked at the pile of medicinal amber and began by picking out those that emitted spiritual energy, setting the rest aside separately.
