Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 2072 - 2069: Refusing a Toast, Forced to Drink Punishment Wine

Originally, the negotiation was settled at five hundred thousand Nether Crystals.

Along the way, Zhang Qing repeatedly demanded more money, raising the price to seven hundred thousand Nether Crystals.

And now he wants to increase the price even further!

Even if Ying Youwei is easy-going, she’s now a bit irritated.

Does he think the Ying Family is a bunch of fools?

At this moment, Zhang Qing and his men noticed that Ying Youwei was not agreeing, and immediately displayed an insidious smile.

"Miss Ying, the treasure you’re escorting is worth over five million Nether Crystals. Your Ying Family can make a fortune just by reselling it. Is it really unreasonable for us brothers to ask for a little more money?"

"There have been quite a few bandits along the way, but upon hearing my name, Zhang Qing, none dare cause trouble."

"Without us, would your Ying Family even earn money?"

Zhang Qing’s mocking expression made Ying Youwei even more unhappy.

This time, the Ying Family encountered some trouble in Black Tiger City, leading many experts to leave. If not for that, they wouldn’t need Zhang Qing and his men’s help, giving them a reward of seven hundred thousand Nether Crystals is already very generous of Ying Youwei.

With someone else, they wouldn’t give fifty thousand, let alone seventy thousand Nether Crystals!

"Zhang Qing, don’t go too far."

Ying Youwei coldly said, then turned to leave.

However, at this moment, Zhang Qing grabbed Ying Youwei’s hand, suddenly revealing a lewd expression.

"Miss Ying, if you’re unwilling to raise the price, that’s okay. Us brothers are very easy-going. If you’d like to play with us, how about we waive the fee this time?"

After Zhang Qing spoke, the other three showed eager expressions.

They had long been unable to restrain themselves.

The entire way, they had been salivating over Ying Youwei.

Ying Youwei’s beauty is among the top in Black Tiger City, especially those long white legs, which mesmerize countless men.

Now, being in these woods, far from any village or shop, even if they did something, it would likely go unnoticed.

Ying Youwei’s heart sank; she never imagined she’d be targeted by Zhang Qing.

"You’re crossing the line!" Ying Youwei exclaimed angrily, drawing her sword immediately. "Zhang Qing, we have an employment relationship, and I hired you. How dare you harbor ill intentions against me now?"

"Aren’t you afraid my Ying Family will hunt you down and eliminate you all?"

After she said this, all the guards in the team rushed forward; they were all Ying Family people.

But Zhang Qing and the group didn’t care at all.

Xu Wendong sat crouched on a nearby tree, watching the situation unfold with a disdainful expression.

"Looks like they’ve encountered bandits." Xu Wendong said softly. In such a wilderness, if Ying Youwei were killed, the Ying Family might never know who did it.

Moreover, the cultivation level of the Ying Family people isn’t great; the only one at the Seventh Level of Tongyou Realm. Facing four opponents of the same realm makes victory impossible.

"That chick’s in danger," Xu Wendong slowly said.

He didn’t plan to intervene.

The Netherworld is a place of survival of the fittest. Ying Youwei chose to engage in such dangerous matters, so she must handle any outcome herself. Xu Wendong only wanted to enter Black Tiger City, to check if he was being hunted by the Da Yin Dynasty.

Sure enough, while Xu Wendong briefly zoned out, Zhang Qing and Ying Youwei had started fighting.

The Ying Family guards had poor cultivation; upon clashing with Zhang Qing’s group, they suffered heavy casualties instantly.

Though Ying Youwei had decent cultivation, she was utterly powerless against Zhang Qing and the four other attackers!

"Heh heh, Miss Ying, if you agree to our terms, today we’ll escort your family’s belongings to Black Tiger City. Too bad you don’t know what’s good for you," Zhang Qing sneered.

"Play with us, and we’d still be devoted to you."

"Since you refuse, we’ll have our fun with you, and then steal your family’s possessions; wouldn’t that be even better?"

The group laughed coldly, swiftly suppressing Ying Youwei.

In an instant, Zhang Qing struck with a palm, hitting Ying Youwei’s shoulder, sending her flying backward, crashing into a carriage, which overturned, spilling its contents everywhere.

Actually, Xu Wendong was curious about what necessitated carriage transport instead of using a storage bag.

Once he saw clearly, he was instantly shocked.

"These... are treasure ores!"

Xu Wendong was astounded, even the Painting Saint was surprised.

In the Netherworld, besides Nether Crystal veins, there’s a rare kind of ore known as treasure ore.

True to its name, treasure ore appears stone-like, but inside the stone, there’s a high probability of treasures hidden within.

Once the stone is cracked open, the treasures inside emerge.

A lucky person might even find immortal Divine Medicine within a treasure ore.

Of course, that probability is quite small.

This substance generally arises in ancient ruins or battlefields, where treasure ore wasn’t originally born with treasures hidden within.

Instead, treasures were already present, and due to dense Yin energy, a stone layer formed around them, resulting in treasure ore.

Because treasure ore is incredibly precious and quite special, it can’t fit in storage bags; it must be transported in this cumbersome manner.

The Ying Family is in the business of treasure ore.

"Kid, in these treasure ores, one stone I can’t see through. There might be a treasure inside."

Painting Saint quickly advised.

Golden light flashed in Xu Wendong’s eyes as the Painting Saint used Divine Soul Power to help him clearly see a stone the size of a millstone not far away.

"You must get it!" Painting Saint urged.

"This... then I have no choice but to act," Xu Wendong said helplessly.

He originally didn’t want to get involved.

But since the Painting Saint says so, he has no choice but to step forward.

At this moment, Zhang Qing’s face was savage, brimming with killing intent.

He held a large knife, looking at Ying Youwei.

"Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit; if you had obediently pleased the brothers, perhaps this wouldn’t have happened," Zhang Qing finished, starting to loosen his belt, intending to force his way today!

But just then.

A shadow descended.

Xu Wendong suddenly landed in the group, quietly looking at everyone.

"Who are you?"

Zhang Qing and his men were stunned; there’s an outsider here!

Their actions today couldn’t be exposed. If found out, they’d face the relentless pursuit of the Ying Family!

Ying Youwei looked at the newcomer and a glimmer of hope rose in her heart.

"Sir, save me! I am the eldest daughter of the Ying Family. Should you save my life, the Ying Family will surely repay your kindness and virtue!" Ying Youwei said excitedly.

Xu Wendong didn’t speak; he focused his gaze on the treasure ores on the ground, pondering how to obtain them.

"Since you remain silent, do you have other motives?" Zhang Qing signaled to the other three.

Soon, they surrounded Xu Wendong.

Xu Wendong was unconcerned, calmly saying, "I want to make a deal with you. I want that treasure ore; how many Nether Crystals do you want?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
