Starting as a Snake: Defying Heaven with Invincibility

For the full version, visit [ ].

The thoughts of demon beasts are very simple—black is black, white is white, as simple as it gets. The methods of the Fire Cloud Sect clashed with Huang Mao's worldview.

"Enough with the nonsense, hurry up and find someone to ask where the auction is. I don't have time to explain everything to you!"

Huang Mao gritted his teeth, unwillingly saying, "Those bastards from the Fire Cloud Sect, I'll wipe out your entire sect sooner or later."

Following Xiao Long's instructions, Huang Mao approached a person, slapped them on the shoulder, startling them. The person was about to retaliate, but upon seeing Huang Mao's attire, they held back, forcing a smile and asking, "Se... Senior, what can I do for you?"

Huang Mao gradually increased the pressure in his palm, causing the person's facial muscles to twitch and cold sweat to break out, yet they maintained their smile, afraid of offending this formidable figure.

"Where is the largest auction house in Fire Cloud City?" Huang Mao asked in a muffled voice.

"It's the auction house of Qianlong Bank, located in the eastern part of Fire Cloud City. Just follow that road and you'll see it," the person replied with a smile.

Although random killings are not allowed in Fire Cloud City, teaching someone a lesson is no problem at all. The city's law enforcement wouldn't offend an expert for a small fry.

A gust of wind blew by, and when the person came to their senses, Huang Mao was nowhere to be seen.

...

Qianlong Auction House, the largest auction house in Fire Cloud City, belongs to the wealthiest power in Tianfeng Kingdom: Qianlong Bank.

Qianlong Bank has a long history and abundant financial resources, with branches in every major city of Tianfeng Kingdom. It's said that its true headquarters isn't even in Tianfeng Kingdom but in a three-star super empire in the Great Wilderness State, with influence spanning the entire state.

Even the renowned "Qianlong List" of the Great Wilderness State was compiled by Qianlong Bank.

However, Xiao Long knew nothing of this, nor had he heard much about the Great Wilderness State. He only knew of the Barbarian Kingdom because a disciple from the Burning Heaven Dragon Palace was born there, otherwise, he wouldn't remember such a small place.

Walking along the street for a while, Huang Mao arrived at a magnificent hall, which was the branch of Qianlong Bank in Fire Cloud City.

The entrance of the bank was bustling with people, all wealthy young masters adorned in gold and silver. Huang Mao didn't linger, walking straight through the main gate under the vigilant eyes of several guards.

As soon as he entered, Huang Mao felt a refreshing wave of spiritual Qi wash over him, clearing his mind and dispelling his irritation.

Xiao Long noticed that a massive formation was set up beneath the hall, encompassing the entire Qianlong Bank. The formation was of a high level, reaching the innate level, indicating that the person who set it up was at least an innate formation master, more esteemed than an innate expert.

It seemed that Qianlong Bank's strength was not inferior to the Fire Cloud Sect.

Huang Mao walked down the corridor next to the main hall, reaching the end, where a young and beautiful woman approached with a smile, asking, "Sir, how may I assist you?"

The woman was strikingly beautiful, with a voluptuous figure, her curvaceous body accentuated by her uniform, her red lips slightly parted, and her eyes carried a natural allure that could easily captivate those with weaker willpower.

However, Xiao Long felt nothing, and Huang Mao was as indifferent as a block of wood. To his aesthetic sense, no matter how pretty a human was, they couldn't compare to a female monkey.

What surprised Xiao Long was the woman's strength, which had reached the third level of the Qi Condensing Realm, making her the first Qi Condensing Realm martial artist he encountered in Fire Cloud City.

"I'm here to consign something. Call your bank president over!" Huang Mao said coldly, essentially repeating Xiao Long's words.

Huang Mao's indifferent attitude made Su Ya's eyes flash with a peculiar look. She was always confident in her appearance, and any prominent figure who saw her would more or less lose composure, but this masked man was the complete opposite.

However, she had seen many clients, and some intentionally acted cold to attract her attention, so she wasn't surprised.@@novelbin@@

Su Ya softly said, "I'm sorry, but the president has an important client to meet this afternoon. Please come back tomorrow."

Hearing this, Huang Mao was about to leave, but Xiao Long bit him, causing him to grimace in pain.

"Boss, what are you doing? It hurts!"

"If she says come back tomorrow, then tomorrow it is. Who does she think she is? Do as I say!"

Huang Mao had no choice. Following Xiao Long's instructions, he took out a Qi Condensing Pill, played with it for a moment, and then put it away.

Su Ya's eyes immediately widened. Although she didn't know what kind of pill it was, judging by its appearance and the rich fragrance, it was evidently freshly made and of high quality. This person might be an alchemist!

"If your president won't see me, then forget it. I'll head to Beast City. I don't believe this pill won't sell."

With that, Huang Mao turned to leave.

"Please wait!" Su Ya was instantly anxious. Beast City also had a branch of Qianlong Bank, but each branch was in competition, and the one with better performance received more resources.

This person casually took out a pill of such quality, likely a first-grade alchemist. Such a person must be recruited if possible, and even if not, they must not be offended.

Su Ya ran in front of Huang Mao, blocking him with half her body.

"Sir, could you show me the pill you just had?"

As she spoke, she wrapped her arm around Huang Mao's, her voluptuous body gently leaning in, her rosy lips slightly parted, whispering softly in his ear.

With Su Ya's seductive skills, any normal man would be unable to resist blushing and losing composure, agreeing in a moment of heat. Even several esteemed first-grade alchemists had been seduced by her and joined Qianlong Bank.

Unfortunately, Huang Mao was not a normal man; he was a monkey.

"Get lost! Bring your president here, or no deal!" Huang Mao flung Su Ya's arm away, looking at her coldly with a hint of warning.

Su Ya's face immediately darkened. It was the first time she had encountered someone like this!

Even the notoriously cold-hearted Xue Wuqing couldn't resist her charms and wanted to spend the night with her. If not for the power of Qianlong Bank, he might have forced himself on her.

Once she made a move, no man could resist, and she only slightly used her allure because this person might be an alchemist; otherwise, she wouldn't have bothered.

But this person didn't care about her at all, and his attitude was exceptionally rude, hurting Su Ya's pride.

"You have the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn. If the president doesn't come, I'm leaving," Huang Mao said, sitting down and closing his eyes to rest.

"Hmph! If you weren't an alchemist, I'd skin you alive!" Su Ya thought bitterly, but outwardly she still asked pitifully, "Doesn't a little girl like me even have the right to take a look?"

Huang Mao ignored her, not even glancing at her, treating her as if she were air.

Su Ya was furious but had no choice but to take out a jade slip engraved with a soul mark and crush it.
