The loud bang and commotion downstairs caused Wang Baole’s heart to beat furiously. He stood up immediately, and even before he could rush Jin Duoming into completing the transaction, Jin Duoming had already charged towards the first floor, bewildered.
This is the end…
Wang Baole slapped his forehead and let out a long sigh as he hurriedly followed after Jin Duoming. Thoughts of how to salvage the situation darted about in his mind, but when they arrived on the first floor, Wang Baole took a very deep breath and realized that any form of compensation would be useless.
The entire first floor was entirely different from how they had left it. The storage room was completely empty. Not only were the pills and Numinous Treasures gone, but even the racks had vanished. There was also a long, wide trench in the ground where the wall had previously descended. Right now, there was no more wall in that place, seemingly having been dug out forcefully.
At the same time, the other walls that stood around seemed to have collapsed. The other storage rooms that were revealed had been ravaged and were completely empty.
It wouldn’t be much of an issue if that was it. However, in the great hall on the first floor, the Numinous Treasures hanging on the walls had disappeared. The curtain weaved using the Spirit thread was gone, and there was only half of the lamp made from Spirit Stones remaining, with obvious signs that it had been chewed off.
The furniture was also scattered and broken into innumerable pieces. The ancient shelves didn’t escape the catastrophe either and had all collapsed onto the floor in pieces. The carpet, as well as some parts of the floor, were also damaged, with uncountable teeth marks on them. The only part of the entire first floor that seemed intact now was Jin Duoming’s favorite sofa.
Witnessing everything before his eyes, Wang Baole felt a headache pounding in his head. He looked at Jin Duoming. Jin Duoming was dumbfounded, incredulous at whatever had happened. A look of bewilderment appeared in his eyes for the very first time, but after he vaguely noticed that his precious sofa was still intact, he took a deep breath and forcefully revealed a smile.
Thank goodness…
However, even before he could complete his sentence, the leather of the sofa sank, as if something was chewing it from the inside. Piercing sounds of something tearing were heard, and instantly, a hole appeared, and the donkey’s head emerging from inside. It disregarded Wang Baole, and after noticing Jin Duoming, it screamed in delight.
Son! Son!
Those screams were extremely loud and energetic. At the same time, the donkey had achieved a breakthrough in its cultivation, advancing to the second level of the True Breath realm from the first level. Its fur glowed, and it looked even more impressive.
Jin Duoming was thrown into a blur once again. His body trembled, his breathing quickened visibly, and his eyes widened. Wang Baole looked at Jin Duoming, taking a deep breath before he tried to persuade him.
Brother Jin, don’t be rash. Didn’t you say just now? It’s just eating some food…
Grab hold of it!
Even before Wang Baole could complete his sentence, Jin Duoming had already jumped up in rage, screaming angrily. The guards and servants around Jin Duoming immediately charged towards the donkey.
The donkey that had clearly been frightened turned and hurriedly buried itself into the sofa. Cracking sounds instantly reverberated like never before. Jin Duoming was extremely shocked, and as he personally rushed towards the donkey, a loud boom was heard. The structure of the sofa instantly broke down. By then, the donkey had already escaped.
Its speed was fast to begin with, and now that it achieved a breakthrough in its cultivation, it was even faster. It also seemed to have misinterpreted the situation as others snatching its food. Therefore, as it escaped, it hurriedly ran away while eating everything it saw along the way.
The furniture that was strewn around was also chewed on, half the lamp was also eaten, and even the sofa was bitten by it again. That wasn’t all. After advancing to the second level of the True Breath realm, it seemed to be equipped with an extraordinary ability. With a swift turn, it managed to avoid Jin Duoming and company as it dashed towards the second level.
Seeing that the donkey had gone up to the second floor, Jin Duoming turned even more frustrated and anxious, dashing out as he screamed. Wang Baole helplessly looked at the crowd of people chasing after the donkey to the second floor.
Before long, the sounds of items falling to the ground and breaking apart emerged from the second floor, coupled with occasional screams by the donkey.
Son! Son!
Witnessing what was happening, Wang Baole slapped his forehead in frustration. He knew that it was very likely that the transaction would be called off, and that wasn’t far from the truth. Even though the donkey moved quickly, it still paled in comparison to the Foundation Establishment realm cultivators that were after him, and they eventually caught it.
Therefore, a few minutes later, at the main gate to Jin Duoming’s mansion—more specifically, the broken and chewed main gate—Wang Baole and the donkey were being thrown out under the watchful eyes of the guards.
Every guard looked hostile, their eyes filled with vigilance as they looked at the donkey. Wang Baole grew extremely frustrated at the situation, and after glancing at the guards standing near the broken main gate of the mansion, he looked awkwardly at Jin Duoming and exclaimed loudly.
Brother Jin, even though this donkey is unruly, it is a precious creature. Why don’t you reconsider, since you’ve firmly said that you wanted it just now?
Wang Baole was indignant.
Listening to Wang Baole’s words, Jin Duoming’s face cringed. He felt that he must have been crazy or possessed by evil spirits just now to have gained an interest in the donkey. Even though the donkey’s teeth were impressive, its appetite was shocking, which made its abilities to wreak havoc even more astonishing.
The total value of the sofa, ancient shelves, pills, and Numinous Treasures was equal to that of two seventh-grade Dharmic Armaments. After all, the sofa was one of the few left in the entire Federation and was extremely expensive. It was imported from Earth, and after being swallowed by the little donkey, it only allowed it to advance from the first to the second level of True Breath stage.
It must be kept in mind that the donkey was still having its growth spurt. Therefore, it wasn’t difficult to imagine that the donkey was a creature of inferior caliber. Jin Duoming thought that even if an ordinary pig from earth were to consume all those resources, it would probably have reached the third or fourth level of True Breath realm already.
With that thought, Jin Duoming made an announcement, with his face as black as charcoal.
I’m going back on my word, and I don’t want it anymore!
Didn’t you say that you, Jin Duoming, would never regret your words? How about this? I don’t want those resources anymore. All I want is a seventh-grade Dharmic Armament!
Wang Baole was indignant, and he tried to bargain.
Seeing that Wang Baole didn’t relent, Jin Duoming was troubled. If it were someone else, he could still try to be unreasonable. However, he understood Wang Baole’s bad temper very well, and now, he let out a long sigh as he tried convincing Wang Baole.
Brother Baole, there is no grudge between us. I really don’t want it anymore, and I was wrong. If I were to buy this donkey, it would eat me poor…
Wang Baole could relate. He sighed and tried to say something.
Why don’t I leave the donkey with you first. You can give me a seventh-grade Dharmic Armament in the future.
Sir Baole, please don’t joke about this. Leave quickly, please. Even if you were to give it to me for free, I don’t want it… How about I give you some pills…?
Jin Duoming hurriedly spoke, before gritting his teeth and tossing out a storage bag. There were no Dharmic Armaments, but there were at least some cultivation materials.
After grabbing hold of the storage bag, Wang Baole saw Jin Duoming disappearing at lightning speed before his eyes, and the guards stood at attention as if they were enemies. He sighed and tilted his head to look at the donkey, who now had its ears perked up, growling softly as it looked back at Wang Baole, acting as if it had wrongly suffered.
Son!
To hell with your screams!
Wang Baole slapped it hard, but the donkey seemed to not feel a tinge of pain. Instead, its eyes lit up, as if it thought that Wang Baole was having a conversation with it. With its ears straight up it delightfully pounced several times before screaming again.
Son! Son!
Wang Baole was speechless, slapping his forehead as his heart was filled with a wave of helplessness and frustration. He kicked the donkey before sighing and leaving for the academy.
The donkey grew even more excited, and it darted around Wang Baole while following him. When it saw flowers or the curb of the road, it took bite after bite… Before long, the shocked Wang Baole hurriedly took out his cruiser and tossed the donkey into it before charging back to the academy.
What awaited the donkey was a heavy beating upon their return…
However, after being obedient for a few days, the donkey grew uncontrollable again. Eventually, the furious Wang Baole looked at the donkey who was happily chewing on the door frame and stared angrily at it.
It seems like I have to use my trump card. If I don’t completely subdue this donkey, it will be the end for me!
