Chapter 160 - 160: 160: How Are You So Skilled?
After all, that place was the territory of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty. Going there would equal to walking straight into a trap.
Despite Jiang Xiaobai’s discovered concerns, he was sure that if he went to the Mad Demon Secret Land, he would face many challenges. However, compared to those, he felt like he should lay low in his current situation.
He never thought that all the treasures in the world belonged to him or that he could navigate any dangerous situation safely and by the book.
If nothing unexpected happened, Jiang Xiaobai was not likely to go there.
“Jiang Bai, how about you take me?”
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai not reacting, AnRan suddenly came up with a plan: “We don’t have to go to the Thousand Yuan City, just drop me off at a nearby city.” Having said this, AnRan took out a storage ring and a communication jade slip.
“One million top-grade spirit stones, please. Your craftsmanship is too delicious. Can I have it a few more times?” AnRan nearly pleaded.
On this, Jiang Xiaobai was speechless and burst into laughter. People who found out about his current situation either tried to avoid him or figured out ways to kill him for the bounty.
Only this fat kid was rather eccentric, thinking about teaming up with him, and even attracted by his craftsmanship?
However, Jiang Xiaobai did not accept the little fat man’s money and casually said: “We’ll see as we go. I’ll take you as far as I can. I was indeed planning to go to Four Seas City these days.”
“Great! Rest assured, I’ll treat you to a feast when we get to Four Seas City!” AnRan said cheerfully.
Listening to AnRan, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but burst into laughter. This little fat man had a thing for food, seemingly satisfied as long as there was something to eat.
It really confirmed that saying: whatever the circumstance, a barbecue meal can resolve it. If one isn’t enough, just have another one.
Jiang Xiaobai even wondered if this guy wanted to team up with him just to scrounge meals.
The reality was exactly the same as what Jiang Xiaobai thought. AnRan did not care about how strong Jiang Xiaobai was. He kept his father’s teachings in mind that only the strong are truly powerful. But Jiang Xiaobai’s cooking skills tickled AnRan’s heartstrings, especially after tasting it. He couldn’t help but crave more, which was the biggest attraction for him to stick with Jiang
Xiaobai.
The two hit it off and set off in the direction of Four Seas City.
Unknown to them, the small mountain range where they were located was a paradise for demons, with few human inhabitants. Iron Dance Lady’s map didn’t have much information, either.
Soon, they left the mountain range and started to see traces of human activity. After half a day, they finally met the first living person.
However, this man’s goal was clear: kill Jiang Xiaobai and claim the reward of eighty million top-grade spirit stones from the Thousand Yuan Dynasty.
Those were eighty million top-grade spirit stones, which could be enough for a cultivator to progress from the early stages of training to the Transcendence stage, even with optimal conditions!
Unfortunately for him, he was only in the late Golden Core stage, hoping for Jiang Xiaobai’s bounty.
He didn’t even need Jiang Xiaobai to lift a finger. AnRan took him down with two punches.
It is worth mentioning that after the killing, Jiang Xiaobai’s procedure astonished AnRan. He had never seen anyone dispose of a body so adeptly, as if practiced thousands of times.
“Jiang Bai, did you kill a lot of people before?” AnRan asked, somewhat stunned.
Jiang Xiaobai understood that AnRan was surprised at his efficiency. He smiled lightly and said: “I’m a very kind person, how could I just casually kill people?”
“Then how are you so adept?”
“Well, I guess it’s innate. When I was…”
AnRan quickly raised his hand: “Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this. Every time you speak, I feel like my father is berating me. Let’s see what this guy has in his storage ring.”
With that, AnRan clenched his fist and looked excitedly at the storage ring in front of him.
After inspecting the content of the storage ring, both of them were left dumbfounded. The man was broke. Forget about valuable items, there weren’t even many spirit stones. Anything collected together would make a good deal only if it amounted to a couple of top-grade spirit stone’s value.
“Ah, he is so poor. He is the poorest man I have ever met in my life.” AnRan said, somewhat speechless.
Jiang Xiaobai rolled his eyes: “You don’t understand the hunger of a starving man. Given your extravagant lifestyle, who could count as a rich man in front of you?”
“You’re right… let’s go.”
Then the two continued on their journey. However, the closer they got to Four Seas City, the more cultivators they encountered, and thus, more people trying to kill Jiang Xiaobai due to the bounty.
The whole afternoon, they had faced eighteen ambushes, thirty covert attacks, and even the infamous Black Magic Brothers joined in, almost scaring the daylights out of AnRan.
Worth mentioning though, despite being frightened by the assassins attracted by Jiang Xiaobai’s identity, Jiang Xiaobai noticed that AnRan had a potential of being a bandit and even brought out this potential in him.
Initially, after those attackers died, Jiang Xiaobai would dispose of the bodies secretly. Afterwards, they would share the acquired items. However, later things changed. AnRan, despite being scared, felt a great sense of anticipation.
Moreover, after a person was killed, AnRan was always the first to rush forward and gather the loot, clearly displaying his greedy nature.
Any body searched by AnRan would be thoroughly stripped of anything valuable. He even took the clothes from a person whose outfit he liked.
Jiang Xiaobai wanted money to enhance his cultivation and because he constantly needed spirit stones. But AnRan just loved money. Even if he only got a lower-grade spirit stone, he would be overjoyed.
Just after a few days, AnRan had started to enjoy this lifestyle.
“Jiang Bai, being with you is a lot of fun. After this trip to the Mad Demon Secret Land is over, I’m going to stick with you. We’ll travel throughout the Tianxuan Continent together.” AnRan said cheerfully.
Jiang Xiaobai rolled his eyes and didn’t pay much attention. Instead, he was pondering a question: theoretically, the Thousand Yuan Dynasty should have taken action by now. But up until now, all those who had emerged to kill him were unsophisticated people from the martial world. There were no strong men from the Thousand Yuan Dynasty.
This made Jiang Xiaobai feel surprised as if the Thousand Yuan Dynasty was preparing a major move behind the scenes.
Before long, while busy contemplating, they unknowingly reached the outskirts of Four Seas City, and Jiang Xiaobai began disguising himself..
