God of Pets-Chapter 719: Angel Investor

Zhang Chunxiang used all her charm to get Zhang Huacai and Zhang Chunman to hand over their Dragon Tiger Golden Pill.

"Including my own, there are three in total. Isn’t that a bit too few?" Zhang Chunxiang pondered for a moment and ended up at her aunt’s place, selling her a sob story. After a dramatic performance, she managed to get another Dragon Tiger Golden Pill.

Originally, Zhang Chunxiang could deliver the pills to Chen Guan through the Zhang Family’s channels. But she decided to go to the meeting spot herself; she wanted to see if the person was a fellow cultivator, and if so, ask about their real identity and name.

If we’re friends, we can’t not know each other’s names, right?

When Zhang Chunxiang arrived at the meeting spot, she saw someone sitting in a wooden pavilion by the river, with a large, fierce-looking dog lying beside them, its red fur like blazing flames, and it was bigger than a typical tiger.

The person was teasing a small, orange-yellow tiger. The little tiger was only as big as a basketball, plump and looking awfully silly and innocent.

The person dangled a meat strip, causing the little tiger to sway back and forth, looking adorably clumsy.

"Fellow cultivator." Zhang Chunxiang called out tentatively.

Chen Guan turned his head and smiled at Zhang Chunxiang, "Miss Zhang, thanks for coming all this way yourself."

Zhang Chunxiang looked at Chen Guan in the morning light. His features were delicate, eyebrows like sword blades, and in that glow, his eyes seemed to sparkle.

"Are you the fellow cultivator?" Zhang Chunxiang asked uncertainly. Although she recognized the voice, she was still a bit dazed, not expecting the fellow cultivator to look the way he did.

"Do I not look like one?" Chen Guan fed the meat strip to the little tiger. This time, Ji Nanhong kept telling him to fix his eyebrows, saying it made her feel better.

The little creature had been with him for over two years, eating only meat, and genuinely had not missed out on eating all kinds of High-level Secret Spirit flesh, yet it had only grown a little, still resembling a little cub.

If it had been any other tiger, it would’ve grown to be bulkier than a pig by now.

"It’s not about looks; it’s just someone as sharp-tongued and fond of ridiculing people shouldn’t look like this." Zhang Chunxiang said with a smile, walking up to Chen Guan and tossing him four bottles, "That’s all, four pills in total."

"I asked how much you want, and you didn’t say. So how do we trade for these four Dragon Tiger Pills?" Chen Guan caught the bottles and asked.

"Let’s not discuss that yet. Since we’re friends, shouldn’t you tell me your real name? I can’t not know who my own friend is, right?" Zhang Chunxiang replied.

"Chen Guan," Chen Guan said.

"Chen what Guan what... wait..." Zhang Chunxiang had thought she’d have to press more to get Chen Guan’s true background, but he casually gave it away, catching her off guard.

"Chen Guan, that name sounds familiar." Zhang Chunxiang seemed to recall something, scrutinizing Chen Guan up and down, "I remember now, you’re the Ji Family’s live-in son-in-law, Chen Guan, right? Yes, must be you. With your looks, it’s a waste not to be a live-in son-in-law to some wealthy family."

"Could you be less mean? Use this to zip it," Chen Guan said, handing over a backpack to Zhang Chunxiang, "You didn’t say how to trade, so I prepared some things. Check if it’s enough."

"Whatever it is, if you dare to give it, I dare to take it. If you think it’s not enough, offer me the Ancestral Court’s gates; I’d gladly accept them too." Zhang Chunxiang didn’t even look inside the bag and simply slung it over her shoulder.

"Alright, if I get the chance, I’ll give you the gates of the Ancestral Court," Chen Guan said with a smile.

"Stop teasing me, you dare touch the Ancestral Court gates, your father-in-law won’t let you off easy," Zhang Chunxiang joked.

"My wife isn’t Ji Nanhong’s biological daughter, she has nothing to do with the Ji Family or Celestial Court Army anymore. We’re planning to start anew, look to establish a kingdom from scratch in the Celestial Pillar Treasure Extreme Profound Heaven. Interested in joining the fun? You’d be a founding shareholder and get dividends in the future," Chen Guan said with a grin.

Right now, he couldn’t go to the Great Cave Heaven, and even if he did, he might not be able to meet An Yiqi, or worse, get ambushed by the Chief Judge’s men.

If he couldn’t go to the Great Cave Heaven, then he’d turn his attention to recover losses for Ji Nanhong in the Grotto Heaven.

He plans to establish a corps in the Celestial Pillar Treasure Extreme Profound Heaven and root out the Celestial Court Army, driving them all out.

Since they won’t let Ji Nanhong inherit the Celestial Court Army, then it has no reason to exist.

He didn’t want to use the Purple Sun Corps for now to avoid provoking other enemies and unnecessary complications; he needed to form a new team.

He showed his true self to Zhang Chunxiang to see if he can recruit her or any of her brothers.

Although they couldn’t stay long-term, even if they’re just having fun, training for a period here, their assistance would be substantial, especially for elixir purchases, which would become significantly easier.

Besides, Chen Guan had no intention of long-term battle in the Celestial Pillar Treasure Extreme Profound Heaven; he intended to collapse the Celestial Court Army before the Seventh Awakening so they wouldn’t dare enter again.

Celestial Pillar Treasure Extreme Profound Heaven is the main stronghold of the Celestial Court Army in the Grotto Heaven; Chen Guan’s tactic is to break them at their core.

"Three questions," Zhang Chunxiang said, raising three fingers.

"Go ahead," Chen Guan said.

"First question, are we really going to go head-to-head with the Celestial Court Army? Are we taking this all the way?" Zhang Chunxiang ticked off one finger.

"Yes," Chen Guan answered truthfully.

"Second question, do you have anyone backing you?" Zhang Chunxiang ticked off a second finger.

"Join me now, and you’ll be backing me; you’ll be my biggest angel investor," Chen Guan said with a chuckle.

Zhang Chunxiang didn’t laugh and asked the third question, "Are you afraid of your wife?"

"Yes," Chen Guan thought for a moment before nodding.

"Alright, I’ll invest in you then, but how much I can invest in you, I need to calculate that carefully when I return. Regardless of how much, I’ll definitely invest," Zhang Chunxiang said earnestly.

"Alright, the more the better, the less still matters — even if it’s only one dollar, borrowing your words: if you dare to give, I dare to receive," Chen Guan actually wasn’t short on funds; he needed Zhang Family’s elixir resources. As long as Zhang Chunxiang comes, even if she’s not contributing funds, it’s worth it for Chen Guan to give her money.

With her around, purchasing Zhang Family’s elixirs would be possible, and for a corps, that’s vital.

"Fine, just wait," Zhang Chunxiang said, turning to leave. After a few steps, she looked back, tilted her head, and with bright eyes asked, "May I ask, how many people do you have now?"

"Including you, we have three people," Chen Guan replied with a smile.

"I shouldn’t have even asked the second question," Zhang Chunxiang said huffily, turning and walking away.
