“F*ck you! You might as well go rob a bank!” Chu Nan was about to go mad. Even if the spatial bracelet had a mountain load of cores, White Tiger’s basic fees were too much. If he were to encounter any more danger and summoned it out to defend against it, these crystals and cores would all soon belong to it.

White Tiger glanced at his spatial bracelet and said, “This lord remembers there are a lot of dragon crystals inside. As long as you take out a green dragon crystal, it is equivalent to all the magic cores you took out earlier. There’s no need for a golden dragon, silver dragon, crystal dragon, holy dragon and the other high-grade dragon’s crystals.”

“Dragon crystals?” There were indeed many dragon crystals inside his spatial bracelet. However, having to pay White Tiger a green dragon’s crystal without having it doing anything, the basic fee made Chu Nan’s heart bleed.

“Can’t it be cheaper?” Chu Nan furrowed his brows. “For example, I’ll just give you two Great Minotuar magic cores…”

“This lord is a sacred beast! Not an ordinary magical beast.” White Tiger started to get dissatisfied. “If you violate the rules, then you will forever be unable to summon this lord until you are strong enough.”

“Alright, green dragon core it is!” Chu Nan clenched his teeth and took out a piece of shiny green crystal. “A bigshot’s pricing is definitely different from those third rate stars. You are the bigshot among all magical beasts so I’ll gracefully accept the high appearance fee!”

White Tiger did not understand what Chu Nan was saying, but he revealed a smile after he obtained the green dragon crystal. “Remember to prepare the remuneration next time you require this lord’s help, and this lord will spare no effort to help.”

Chu Nan very much wished to give White Tiger a command for him to work, for example, to get rid of all the powerful magical beasts in his surroundings that might be hidden around him. However, the moment he thought of the fact that White Tiger might ask for even more dragon crystals, he immediately gave up on that thought.

“Hurry up and leave! Please! I heard that the appearance fees of superstars are charged by the minutes so you better return as soon as possible! Lest you ask me for more remuneration.” Chu Nan waved the card and White Tiger instantly disappeared.

“It’s sure expensive.” Chu Nan looked at the absolutely overpowered safety net in his hands and shook his head.

White Tiger was indeed powerful, but it was too expensive! He merely made an entrance and that had already cost him a piece of dragon crystal. If he were to request it to protect him and fight, Chu Nan had no idea how much more he would have to spend.

After a sigh, Chu Nan carefully kept the White Tiger seal card. Even though it was expensive, White Tiger was worth the expensive price tag. It was similar to a person back on earth striking a lottery worth 5 million dollars and having to fork out a hundred thousand as taxes before they could retrieve the money. Although they would reluctantly still fork out that sum of money, no one would ever have the thought that it would be better if they did not strike the lottery.

After keeping the card, Chu Nan looked at the Killing Bees card and muttered to himself. “The appearance fee of these Killing Bees would definitely be lower than White Tiger’s, but I wonder how much it cost? Would it be possible to only release a hundred or two hundred of them and not all 3000 of them? Would their appearance fees be lower if fewer bees were released?”

Upon flipping the card, Chu Nan looked at the array carved on it and a notion flashed across his mind. “Perhaps…”

The forest was still in absolute silence even after White Tiger had disappeared. In the face of such might, there were basically no beasts that dared to resist.

Shanz and Catherine were also blanked out for an extended period of time before they recovered from the shock and cautiously came to Chu Nan’s side.

“Chu… Chu Nan… That beast… just now…” Shanz stammered for half a day before Catherine continued his sentence for him. “It’s the legendary sacred beast, White Tiger?”

“Yup, that’s right.” Chu Nan nodded and answered. All of a sudden, he asked, “Why? Do you also recognize White Tiger?”

“It is one of the four sacred beasts from the legends of the Shengyuan Continent. I didn’t expect it to really exist.” Catherine answered, “In the past, I only thought of it as a legend.”

“Oh?” Chu Nan was somewhat surprised at the fact that the legend of the four sacred beasts, which originated from the Eastern countries, was also a legend in the Shengyuan Continent.

“Did White Tiger come looking for you? You passed it a piece of dragon crystal just a moment ago. Could it be that it came to ask you to repay a debt? What’s your relationship with it? How did you come to be acquainted with White Tiger?” Although Catherine was the druid princess, her curiosity broke her original cool countenance and moreover, the White Tiger had also disappeared. As a result, her innate gossiping mentality unique to females was at its peak.

“Ah?” Only then did Chu Nan recall that he had conversed with the White Tiger in his mind all this time. Other than the both of them, no one knew what they had talked about.

“Cough…” Chu Nan dryly coughed. “What’s all this nonsense of asking for repayment? It is simply my summoned beast. Summoning it earlier on was due to the fact that I recalled not having seen it for several days. For fear that he would starve, I gave him a piece of dragon crystal.”

“Summoned beast? Starve? Dragon crystal…”

Chu Nan’s words were too shocking. Although they both knew that Chu Nan was a Heaven Realm expert, it did not mean that any Heaven Realm expert could have White Tiger as their summoned beast. Among the Heaven Realm experts, it was considered an extremely boastful matter if they even had a golden dragon king or crystal dragon king as their summoned beasts.

In this world there was unexpectedly someone who had White Tiger as their summoned beast? Exactly how strong was that person?

Moreover, a dragon crystal as their meal? Even a king of a country was not wealthy to that extent! This was too much of a luxury!

“In fact, White Tiger isn’t as powerful as what you think.” Chu Nan deliberately sighed. “If not for the fact that the majority of my powers are sealed, I would be slightly more powerful than it.”

Looking at his two petrified bodyguards, Chu Nan continued to brag. In any case, White Tiger had indeed appeared and they had no methods to communicate with it. Therefore, it did not matter what story he fabricated.

White Tiger’s appearance had severely shocked the spirits of his two bodyguards. In a single night, Chu Nan’s position in their hearts had risen to a position nearing God.

From then on, Chu Nan had also come to a conclusion about an iron rule. “If you can brag about a dragon, you should not be silly and brag about a cow! The more exaggerated your story was, and the more unbelievable it sounded, the easier for others to believe the story!
