There was a lazy feeling in the voice. She did not sound old and should be around 20 years old. However, Wang Xiao looked around the room and did not see where the person who spoke was.

Behind Wang Xiao and Lin Xiang was the [Ancient Teleportation Gate] that occupied an entire wall. Other than two chairs, there was not even a strand of extra hair in front of them. Even Shen Tianlin, who had entered previously, had disappeared.

At the same time, Wang Xiao also discovered something strange. Other than the [Ancient Teleportation Portal] behind him, there was only a one-meter square window on the opposite wall. Moreover, it was sealed.

This meant that anyone who wanted to enter and leave could only use the [Ancient Teleportation Portal]. Could it be that Shen Tianlin had left?

With this in mind, Wang Xiao wanted to go back and take a look again. However, just as he turned around and was about to raise his foot, the female voice from before spoke again.

“You’re leaving just like that?”

The girl’s voice was filled with confusion. “Don’t you still have something to discuss?”

When Wang Xiao heard this, he temporarily dispelled the thought of looking for Shen Tianlin. He scanned the room and replied, “Minister Shen asked me to talk to the boss of the Lord’s Shop in person—are you the boss?”

“Mm… Just take it that I’m here!” 𝙛𝓻𝙚𝙚𝔀𝙚𝓫𝓷𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎

The girl thought for a moment and smiled mischievously, making Wang Xiao even more certain of the other party’s guess.

A lively girl in her twenties was definitely not the boss of the Lord’s Shop—she was more like a messenger for the boss.

In this case, the real boss should be beside the other party. Wang Xiao did not know what the meaning of this mysterious act was, but he did not care.

“Then let’s talk.”

Wang Xiao shook open the [Gold Contract]. “I can accept your sudden increase in price, but you have to change the cultivation of mutated beasts to the original three.”

“Oh? Why?”

The girl’s voice was puzzled again. “I heard from Minister Shen that your [Lord Skill] can accelerate the growth of mutated beasts. Since it’s a [Lord Skill], it won’t matter even if there are 50 of them, right?”

“Your [Lord Skill] can accelerate the growth of mutated beasts?!”

Lin Xiang exclaimed and looked at Wang Xiao. “What is this [Lord Talent]? Why have I never heard of it?”

“Uh…”

Wang Xiao did not know how to answer and simply pretended not to hear. He continued to say to the girl who was secretly observing, “My [Lord Skill] consumes a lot of energy and will cause irreversible damage to my body.”

Activating the [Lord Skill] would cause damage to the body. This was completely brainless nonsense.

As expected, the girl sneered to express her disbelief. However, Wang Xiao had already achieved his goal. After these few rounds of conversation, he had already found the location of the voice!

Clang!

With a soft cry of a sharp blade being unsheathed, the fused [Unlimited Slashing Saber] appeared in Wang Xiao’s hand. The power of the orange quality item was extremely great. Even without energy injected into it, the black and white blade still emitted a sharp aura.

Lin Xiang, who was beside him, was stunned when he saw this. Then, his expression suddenly turned ugly. He hurriedly pulled Wang Xiao and whispered, “Brother Wang! Why did you suddenly attack? This is the boss’s residence. Don’t do anything rash!”

“Manager Lin, don’t tell me you really think the person who spoke is the boss?”

Wang Xiao sneered and locked his gaze on the wall beside the small window. “I often fool others, and I’m often fooled by others.”

“A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. If the other party’s methods are brilliant, not only will I not be angry, I will even praise the other party. However, if the other party treats me as a fool, don’t blame me for being rude.”

As he spoke, Wang Xiao had already arrived near the wall. He raised the [Unlimited Slashing Saber] and gently stabbed forward. The sharp blade entered like cutting tofu!

The girl who was secretly observing exclaimed and her tone clearly became flustered. “Y-y-you, don’t do anything rash! I’m warning you! I’m the boss of the Lord’s Shop! If you dare to attack me, you’re dead! You… stop quickly!”

The girl was almost about to cry towards the end, but Wang Xiao acted as if he did not hear her. He used the [Unlimited Slashing Saber] to seriously cut the wall and quickly cut out a rectangle one meter wide and two meters tall.

“Sorry to disturb you!”

Wang Xiao shouted and raised his leg to kick the center of the rectangle. The cut wall immediately fell down on the other side!

BOOM!

The wall landed with a loud bang. As dust flew, Wang Xiao had already raised his saber and passed through the gap to arrive at another room behind the wall.

As he passed through the gap, Wang Xiao took a look at the interior of the cut wall. There were many mechanical devices inside. It was clearly a secret door or something, but it was already completely useless after his slash.

Wang Xiao thought to himself that they deserved it before starting to size up this new room.

The layout of this room was basically the same as the previous one. It was just that there was an additional door and a lot of office furniture.

At first glance, it looked a little like an office. There was a huge screen hanging on one wall that displayed the scene of the room just now.

In front of the screen, a frightened girl was sitting on a chair with snacks. Her long hair fell like a waterfall on her shoulders. Her loose sleeping robe almost covered her entire body, leaving only two fair legs that were like tender lotus roots exposed.

Seeing Wang Xiao approaching with a knife, the girl’s eyes turned red and she was about to cry. However, before she could squeeze out tears, a violent wind suddenly swept up in the room!

Wang Xiao was caught off guard and was forced to take a few steps back. He hurriedly injected energy into the [Protection Ring] and activated its defensive force field before stabilizing his footsteps by the wall.

At the same time, Shen Tianlin jumped out of nowhere and blocked in front of the girl in a flash. He frowned and glared at Wang Xiao, his surging aura spreading out undisguised. “Put down the knife! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”

“I should be the one who is rude, right?”

Wang Xiao looked at Shen Tianlin coldly. “Didn’t you say that you wanted to talk to the boss in person? Could it be that the little girl behind you is the boss of the Lord’s Shop?”

“I’m not a little girl! I’m already twenty years old!”

Before Shen Tianlin could speak, the girl stuck her head out from behind him. She probably felt that she had someone backing her up and became much calmer. She rolled her eyes at Wang Xiao and said angrily, “You’re not old either. What right do you have to call me a little girl?!”

Wang Xiao could not be bothered to argue with her about such a problem. With a thought, he put the [Unlimited Slashing Saber] back into his territory and looked at Shen Tianlin. He said coldly, “Last chance. Where’s the boss?”

Before Shen Tianlin could say anything, the girl behind him raised her hand and shouted, “I’m the boss!”

“Young Miss!”

Shen Tianlin shouted in a low voice. He turned around and whispered helplessly, “This is serious business. Don’t cause trouble. Old Liu will be angry if he finds out!”

“Who’s causing trouble? I’m the boss!”

The girl rolled her eyes at Shen Tianlin and looked at the confused Wang Xiao. “Tell me! My name is Liu Yingying. The current boss of the Lord’s Shop is my grandfather, and I’m the future heir! Is there a problem with me saying that I’m the boss?”

Wang Xiao smacked his lips and did not say anything.. Looking at the “heir” in front of him, he inexplicably felt that the future of the Lord’s Shop was worrying…
