Chapter 480: A Lesson (3k)
The sudden sound made many people look over, their eyes filled with a spectator’s expression. Many had seen the background of Li Yi and the others and felt there was some entertainment to be had.
Su Jiu turned her head and saw Li Yi and the others. She was a little confused as to why they were buying it.
She thought that ordinary people would only gain some vitality from it, and Li Yi didn’t know any Grand Priests either.
“Cough cough…”
On the side, Bai Zhi, hearing the familiar dialect that she could finally understand, seemed to be injected with a shot of adrenaline. She suddenly jumped up, looked at Li Yi, coughed twice, and said lightly in the Dragon Country language, “We were here first. We hope you gentlemen will pay attention.”
Li Yi and the others looked at the jumping Little Flower Fairy and almost thought she was going to attack them. They were startled. After they reacted, they frowned and looked at their waiter, asking through the translator, “Is she telling the truth?”
“You are VIPs of our gang…”
The private waiter belonging to Li Yi and the others was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, she was patted on the shoulder by the waitress who had brought Su Jiu and the two of them. She whispered a few things into her ear and her expression changed repeatedly…
Finally, the words that were on the tip of her tongue turned into: “That lady is also a distinguished guest of this gang. How about we negotiate…”
When both sides are important figures, they, as workers caught between guests, are the most difficult to deal with.
Hearing the waiter’s voice, Li Yi raised an eyebrow. The expression under his mask was not good. He had finally found something he liked and that suited him. He glanced at Su Jiu and the two of them, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, “Two ladies, would you be willing to part with it… I can compensate you with an Intermediate Magic Crystal.”
“No… Hey, hey, why are you pulling my collar?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi was about to refuse fiercely, but Su Jiu lifted her by the collar of her clothes and, like pinching a small animal, moved her directly in front of her. The latter whispered, “Don’t mess around, they mean no harm.”
“Oh… that’s not right? Why should I listen to you?”
Being dragged away subconsciously, Bai Zhi was stunned for about a few seconds, and her small face immediately turned black. That wasn’t right! She was the boss now, why should she let Su Jiu control her?
She immediately turned to look at Su Jiu, wanting to give her a “wicked smile” to tell her “How dare you?” But Su Jiu preemptively whispered, “We had an agreement before, if you don’t say those three words, you can’t change your expression…”
“Right…”
Bai Zhi was stunned. She thought about it and it seemed that way – “If the other party doesn’t call me Little Fool, I can’t make a move.” Although it felt a bit strange…
She had to find an opportunity to make Su Jiu call her “Little Fool,” and then defeat her, even though she wasn’t stupid!
After dealing with the Little Flower Fairy, Su Jiu glanced at Li Yi and the others, then smiled and said, “How about this, you take one, and I’ll buy one too. That way, it’s fair and just, and there are quite a few people here…”
Hearing Su Jiu’s somewhat familiar voice, Li Yi fell into thought. He was thinking of buying both bottles, but the other party’s identity seemed not simple. In such a foreign land, it was better to give way to each other.
“Heh heh… You can’t see through my aura either. The two masked ladies should have the strength of a Battle King, right? Why don’t we join forces.”
As the two were in a stalemate, that White Chef, Rice, also walked over from the crowd in front. He wasn’t wearing a mask, and a hint of smugness could still be seen on his heavily made-up face. It seemed that in a short period of time, he had indeed negotiated something with the Hark Gang.
“You didn’t see what the two ladies used to buy goods just now, it was the Hark Gang’s Guest Minister Token!”
“Guest Minister Token? Isn’t that something only given to top Alchemists?”
“Hiss… This effeminate big guy teamed up with two ladies of unknown depth, those Dragon Country people are going to suffer.”
The crowd became lively at this time. No matter how strong one was, there were always people who enjoyed watching the fun. If you didn’t see it, it meant you weren’t in their circle.
“Top Alchemists?!”
Hearing the voices of the crowd, Li Yi was inevitably a little apprehensive. Alchemy Masters had a strong ability to call friends and allies. The other party might not be as strong as them, but their status had to be taken seriously.
“Young Master Yi, I’m afraid it’s more than that…”
Behind him, Elder Mo looked at Bai Zhi behind Su Jiu and felt a inexplicable chill. He then said with great solemnity, “That woman with the fox mask, her strength is unfathomable. I not only cannot feel any aura from her, but my inner sword intent is also resounding… She, not…”
He paused, swept his gaze over Su Jiu’s face again, and his tone became more serious as he said, “Not only her, but the other one too. They are hiding a sword intent, and that sword intent might be stronger than the Mo saber in my hand. Sometimes, voice and clothing cannot represent their age… and they both have storage rings!”
“A Swordsman of Elder Mo’s level…”
Hearing Elder Mo’s high praise, Li Yi couldn’t help but look startled. If so, why did the other party say their requirements were half each just now?
However, to everyone’s surprise, Su Jiu glanced at Rice, who was fannig the flames, without paying much attention. She simply said lightly, “No need, there are two bottles of medicine, we can each have one.”
Rice, who was about to show off to Li Yi and the others, paused for a moment, turned his head, and looked at Su Jiu with a bewildered expression. The onlookers were also stunned, clearly not understanding why Su Jiu would say that.
The previous principle of fairness was established when their strength was equal or insufficient, which was understandable, but now that he, a High-Rank Battle King, had stepped forward, shouldn’t the other party express their anger together?
While Rice was stunned, Li Yi immediately turned to his waiter, took out eight Intermediate Magic Crystals from his storage bag, and handed them over, “We’ll take one bottle. Didn’t we say it was eight Intermediate Magic Crystals per bottle?”
“This… alright.”
The waiter was slightly stunned. She looked at Su Jiu and the two of them, who had calm expressions. Seeing that they were not looking this way at all, she quickly nodded in agreement, took out a bottle of medicine, scanned it out of storage, carefully packaged it, and handed it to Li Yi.
“Thank you both. The Dream Cloud Pool opens tomorrow, so we’ll take our leave and go prepare.”
After receiving the medicine, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He stored the medicine in his ring, cupped his hands towards Su Jiu and the two of them again, and then walked back the way they came. He had stirred up trouble while shopping this time, so it was best to stay at the inn.
“Mm.”
Su Jiu responded lightly, and also took the bottle of medicine handed over by the waiter, storing it in her pocket. Her gaze swept over the horizontal bar that had disappeared again, and she prepared to continue looking for suitable items to purchase next.
Then, she turned her head and said softly to the Little Flower Fairy, who was boredly playing with a towel, “Let’s go. Let’s see if there’s anything else useful, and buy it all together.”
“Oh…”
Upon hearing this, the Little Flower Fairy also nodded slightly, and followed behind Su Jiu. Her watery eyes inadvertently swept over Rice, who was standing blankly not far away, and her eyes couldn’t help but show a hint of disgust.
She could clearly see the malice in his heart, and even felt a hidden ferocity constantly emerging.
As she also left and passed by Rice, he seemed somewhat annoyed and said sarcastically in the Dragon Country language, “Are all you Dragon Country people like this, letting others walk all over you…”
“Bang!”
Before Rice could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a heavy force. His eyes narrowed slightly, and the next moment, an external qi arm made of petals suddenly slammed him down, pinning him to the ground.
“I was bored, so tell me, are you going to slap yourself ten times, or shall I do it for you?”
Without time to think, he squinted and met a gaze full of killing intent. In his dazed eyes, he saw a gentle girl with her hands on her thighs, wearing a slight smile.
When the dust settled, the onlookers looked at Rice, who was being pinned to the ground like a dead dog, their faces filled with horror. The scene fell into a deathly silence, as no one could have imagined…
That this young lady wearing a fox mask could knock down a High-Rank Battle King in one blow. She might not be a High-Rank Battle King at all, but a Half-Beast War God!
Everyone was shocked by their guess, but considering they had the Hark Gang’s Guest Minister Token, it seemed understandable.
The Little Flower Fairy’s outburst was not beyond Su Jiu’s expectations. She knew that the former couldn’t understand the local language, and coupled with some pre-labor anxiety, it was normal for her to go crazy occasionally…
Anyway, doing good deeds is the Night Watcher, and doing bad deeds is the Crow.
Being mocked in a place like this and not fighting back would be strange. Moreover, establishing authority appropriately could also prevent some flies from buzzing around.
“Two… ladies, I’ll slap myself.”
Rice was stunned by the Little Flower Fairy’s direct outburst. He found that he couldn’t break free at all, and his laws couldn’t be used, as if he was being suppressed by something. So, with a red face, he raised his hand and continuously slapped his face, which was painted with ghost makeup.
“Slap.”
“Did you not eat? So light?”
Seeing that he was deliberately restraining himself, a smile flickered in the Little Flower Fairy’s eyes. She then raised her right hand, shrouded in external qi, and swung it forward, the wind whistling like a ghost’s cry.
With a “slap,” a sound was heard.
The next moment, Rice’s face instantly became swollen and red as if stung by a poisonous bee. Tears and snot flowed down his face, but he didn’t dare to argue. He quickly mumbled in an unclear voice, “I know…”
Hearing his mumbled voice, Bai Zhi’s expression turned cold again, and she said softly, “Don’t use that gibberish that I can’t understand, or I’ll slap you again.”
Having listened to the chirping for days, the Little Flower Fairy was already very unhappy. This was purely finding a sandbag to vent her anger on.
Rice’s subordinate translator hurriedly explained, “My lord doesn’t speak the Dragon Country language very well. He’s actually a good person.”
As if to verify his subordinate’s words, Rice also obediently slapped his face, and with tears streaming down his face, he even put more effort into it.
Every slap felt like a slap in the hearts of those who were watching. Su Jiu’s indifferent look, and Bai Zhi’s actions like a neighborly sister, all turned into demonic appearances…
“Two ladies, please don’t tease the envoy of the Henry Family any longer…”
Just as the face-slapping ended, an old voice that had never been heard before sounded. It seemed very calm but carried a strong sense of majesty.
