BXBX NOVEL Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Snow Feng 1
Morning soon arrived, the Red yawned comfortably, then habitually rolled to its side, but plop!, it hit the bed with a thud. Rubbing its little head, the drowsiness it felt instantly dissipated.
Sitting at the table and enjoying his meal, Regret couldn\'t help but smile as he watched the scene. Red grunted, then leaped onto the table and carefully tore into a skewer of meat, glancing at the fur on his chest after each bite, afraid of getting any grease on it.
Regret smacked his lips. Spirit beasts like the Scorching Flame Cat were known for being proud and delicate creatures in the spirit beast world, making them difficult to handle. It was hard to imagine that the proud Red had just yesterday unhesitatingly thrust its claws into the throat of a Snow Ape.
After finishing his meal and carrying a bag filled with spirit cores on his back, accompanied by the Red wrapped around his neck, Regret stepped out of the Blaze family gate.
The Blaze family also had a market in Veloria City, but the shops there mainly dealt with spirit beasts. Whether it was a spiritual novice whose primary spirit beast died in battle or a spiritual warrior looking to form a second spiritual contract, it was often difficult for them to find their desired spirit beast in a short period.
The Blaze family market was their best choice, as the spirit beasts there were never in short supply due to their backing by the mountains.
As Regret walked slowly along the street, it was no surprise that many spiritual masters, upon seeing him, displayed strange expressions on their faces. Although the disrespectful types from the day had disappeared, the sympathetic looks on their faces were just as embarrassing, if not more so, than mocking remarks.
"Atlas Store."
It wasn\'t until Regret reached a large store that he finally stopped. The Atlas Store was part of the Angsana Pavilion\'s influence, one of the few larger stores in Veloria City under the Angsana Pavilion\'s name. The trading prices were fair, and there had never been any reports of customer exploitation.
However, in Veloria City, the Angsana Pavilion\'s influence was stronger than the four major families. It was precisely because of this that the four major families tacitly agreed to the Angsana Pavilion\'s development in Veloria City.
"Atlas Store, my road to success in the days to come will rely on you." Muttering softly to himself, Regret shook the bag on his shoulder, which was about to slip off, and headed towards the gate of the Atlas Store.
Atlas Shop, although it looks like an ordinary shop on the surface, as soon as Regret stepped inside, he was taken aback. At the forefront was a dark blue counter, behind which sat a slightly chubby middle aged man, idly tapping on a shiny gold coin, his eyes lazy.
What shocked Regret even more was the scene behind the counter, a screen seemed to separate two worlds. Behind that screen, countless stalls were neatly arranged, displaying all kinds of medicinal herbs, elixirs, and spirit cores. Figures moved back and forth at the stalls, creating a lively and noisy atmosphere echoing through the spacious shop.
"This scale is quite impressive." Regret marveled silently. If a Atlas Shop was like this, he could hardly imagine what the most prosperous Angsana Pavilion in Veloria City would be like.
The middle aged man lifted his head, looking at Regret who entered carrying a large cloth bag. His gaze flickered slightly, and he couldn\'t help but sense the surging energy within the bag, despite its barrier against spiritual energy.
"Hello, I\'m the shopkeeper here, Mark. What can I help you with?" His sleeve brushed past as the shiny gold coin disappeared into the counter. A professional smile appeared on the middle aged man\'s face, and his tone was very courteous.
"Oh, who do we have here? Isn\'t this Young Master Blaze Regret from the Blaze family?"
Before Regret could respond, a sharp mocking voice suddenly sounded from behind. Passersby who were nearby couldn\'t help casting a glance at Regret. The distance between the Atlas Shop and the Blaze family was not short, and there were many people here who didn\'t know him.
"Snow Feng." Upon hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Regret\'s brow furrowed imperceptibly. This Feng was the little troublemaker from the Snow family that Peter mentioned. He was very arrogant, and due to the relationship between the Blaze and Snow family, he often opposed Regret.
The sound of footsteps grew clearer, and Feng stood imposingly in front of Regret. He had a quite handsome face, but the faint smile at the corner of his mouth revealed a hint of provocation and pride.
Behind Feng, a centipede with an unknown number of legs was rubbing against the floor, making a hissing sound that felt like scratching at one\'s heart, causing a tingling sensation all over the body.
Centipede, a mid level novice level spiritual beast.
"Fourth rank."
Based on the patterns on the centipede\'s shell, Regret easily judged the strength of Feng\'s spiritual beast.
"Oh, this is the legendary beast,Flame Cat. Seeing is believing. It\'s really powerful. Look at my centipede, all trembling in fear." Glancing at the Red hanging around Regret\'s neck, Feng\'s mocking tone grew stronger. When he heard that Regret\'s spiritual beast was a Flame Cat, he almost laughed out loud.
If there was someone against whom he had the most difficulty in Veloria City, it was undoubtedly Regret.
Regret withdrew his gaze calmly, ignoring Feng\'s provocations.
The status of the young master of the Blaze family and the young master of the Snow family in Veloria City goes without saying. In the moment they made contact, most of the eyes in the Atlas Shop turned to them. When Regret remained silent despite the provocation, many people shook their heads.
Blaze Ash had been dominant in Veloria City for more than a decade, and not even the Snow family dared to underestimate him. It was unexpected that in the end, it was the issue of his offspring that he lost on.
