Tang Xiu had just come out from the villa’s hall when he bumped into a middle-aged man at the entrance. The man had a square face, a well-shaped figure, 1.8m in height, and sparkling eyes that were full of spirit.
“Who are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for Tang Xiu.”
Tang Xiu’s brow slanted as he sized him up and said, “I’m Tang Xiu, who are you?”
“I’m Tang Dong! I heard that you wanted to see me?”
Tang Dong also sized up Tang Xiu as a quizzical expression could be seen from his eyes. He didn’t understand why the young man who was recently famous in the last 2 days on Jingmen Island wished to see him.
Tang Xiu nodded and said, “Yes, I originally wanted to see the Old Master of the Manor. But since I heard that it was very difficult to see him, I wanted to see you to ask you about something. Can we find another suitable place to speak?”
Tang Dong looked at Tang Xiu’s villa as he turned around and said, “Come with me! There’s a villa specially used as a teahouse nearby. It’s usually not open to the public though.”
Shortly after…
They arrived at the villa as the attendants then served tea. Whilst savoring the taste of the tea, Tang Dong looked at Tang Xiu and asked, “Then, tell me! For what issues are you seeking me for?”
Tang Xiu said, “I’m interested in the ingredients you’re using for the main course. If I may, could you tell me the place where you have hunted the fierce beasts?”
Tang Dong replied with a smile, “Ah, it’s for this matter. In fact, there are a lot of people who know about the place where we hunt fierce beasts. There’s a marine trench near Jingmen Island called the Eyes of Death. There are some fierce beasts there, with each one of them being very ferocious, even the majority of them have simple spiritual wisdom.”
Tang Xiu said, “Hunting these ferocious beasts couldn’t have been easy, could it?”
Tang Dong replied with a helpless expression, “Naturally, it’s not easy. Every time we go to the Eyes of Death, some of our staff are injured and even die. This is also the reason why the meal pricing at our Seaside Strait Manor is very expensive.”
Tang Xiu replied with an expression of understanding, “I could tell that your Manor’s security personnel are martial arts expert. If you pay a little bit of attention, you could use tip pointed weapons to hunt the fierce beasts. Lastly, does your Manor sell the fierce beast bodies?”
Tang Dong frowned as he asked with a puzzled expression, “You need fierce beast bodies?”
Tang Xiu said, “Yes, that’s right!
Tang Dong shook his head and said, “Our Manor does indeed have fierce beast bodies, but they are not for sell. Because hunting fierce beasts is very difficult and it’s also our Manor’s specialty since we need the ingredients from fierce beast bodies. So… I’m very sorry.”
Tang Xiu was silent for a while before he slowly spoke, “If I don’t need fierce beast meat, can you sell me the fierce beast skin, claw, scales, bones, blood, and other materials?”
