Chapter 227: 227: Day of the Grand Uncle
The person who came was Baihe, followed by two others.
Xiao Yuwei immediately frowned, “Baihe, I didn’t ask you to find anyone at random.”
“I don’t need to, I’m handing this person over to you, remember your previous promise. If you want to edit anything, you should understand the consequences.”
With these words, Baihe walked straight out.
Suddenly, the three people in the box stared at each other in bewilderment.
“Are you Jiang Bai?”
“Correct, my identity has already been discovered, there’s no point hiding anymore.”
Jiang Xiaobai spoke indifferently, “I never expected that the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, which has been hunting me down, would ask me for help. Isn’t that ridiculous?”
“You already knew you were being hunted and yet you dare to come to Thousand Yuan City. Have you lost your fear of death?” Xiao Yuwei raised an eyebrow.
Frankly, she had never seen such a daring person before. He was wanted in the entire Eastern Central region and was despised like a rat crossing the street, yet he dared to show up in the heart of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty.
Not only that, to her knowledge, Jiang Bai was audacious and even tricked the Holy Maiden of the Silver Moon Sect, obtaining a large sum of money in the process.
These were the reasons why Xiao Yuwei sought out Jiang Xiaobai.
He was audacious, resourceful, and undoubtedly the best ally to have.
“Okay, I won’t beat around the bush. I have a simple task for you. Once it’s completed, the Thousand Yuan Dynasty will call off the manhunt for you. You will also become one of my people; within the dynasty, you will have a high status and plenty of resources.”
Xiao Yuwei said indifferently, then looked at Jiang Xiaobai, “You have one minute to consider.”
After she finished speaking, a burly man outside the door walked in, emitting a fierce aura. If Jiang Xiaobai ran out of time, the man would crush him to death. Jiang Xiaobai gave a bitter smile, “Do you think I have the option to refuse?”
“Only those who know the times are heroes. You have great potential, but sometimes you’re just too audacious.”
Xiao Yuwei smiled softly, her mood seemed to be lifted after getting Jiang Xiaobai’s response.
Jiang Xiaobai had never been one to suffer in silence. While he agreed out of desperation, it didn’t mean he was sincere.
At that moment, Jiang Xiaobai corners of his mouth lifted up, revealing a wicked smile, “Since Her Royal Highness is so straightforward with me, I feel I should be honest with you as well.”
“I must confess, I’m also Hong Shixian.”
Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Xiaobai saw the smile from Xiao Yuwei’s face disappear instantly, and an obvious vein began to throb on her forehead.
Well, in terms of annoying people, Jiang Xiaobai’s mouth has never disappointed.
He knew Xiao Yuwei must have had an important task for him and it seemed he was the best choice. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken any trouble to have Baihe find him.
So, he annoyed her a bit, but she wouldn’t turn her back.
Sure enough, Xiao Yuwei, who was clearly a bit irritable, still took a deep breath.
The reason why he annoyed her was simple.
The mistakes made by Hong Shixian were far more serious than those made by Jiang Bai.
Not only did he tell the world that the Thousand Yuan Dynasty owed him fifty billion top-grade spirit stones, but it also provoked many sects.
This would be somewhat difficult to handle.
Xiao Yuwei fiercely glared at Jiang Xiaobai, “As expected, you’re not easy to deal with. But this also demonstrates that you’re highly capable. So, just be a good dog by my side. However,
“Before that, what benefits can I see?”
Jiang Xiaobai said with a faint smile, “Or in other words, can the Thousand
Yuan Dynasty exchange the letter I hold in my hands?”
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai’s smug face, Xiao Yuwei truly wanted to kill him on the spot.
Eventually, Xiao Yuwei just snorted coldly, “This is the last time you’ll be so impudent in front of me, or you’ll die.”
Having said this, she tossed a storage ring over to him.
Jiang Xiaobai swept a glance at it. There were numerous valuable items inside, along with a hundred million top-grade spirit stones.
It was worth the trip.
A mosquito, small as it is, is still meat. A hundred million may not be enough, but there will always be more opportunities.
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t worry, he had great faith in his ability to generate wealth.
Lin Sien is the best example of this.
“Stay in Thousand Yuan City for the next few days, don’t wander off. I’ll tell you what to do when the time comes.”
Xiao Yuwei gave Jiang Xiaobai a cold look and walked out of the box.
She was thoroughly annoyed by Jiang Xiaobai’s mouth.
“Keep an eye on him.”
After giving instructions to the burly man, Xiao Yuwei turned around and left.
From then on, Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan lived a life of luxury.
Xiao Yuwei specially arranged a separate residence for them, right within Thousand Yuan City.
There were many servants and maids in the residence, and they were treated very well. It was a life of luxury, with everything they needed. Whenever he was idle, Jiang Xiaobai would find various reasons to ask Xiao Yuwei for money.
For example:
“I’m not feeling very well today, I want to take a walk.”
“What, you won’t let me? Well then, I’ll just have to loudly announce my identity.”
Of course, Xiao Yuwei wouldn’t let Jiang Xiaobai do that, so she had no choice but to give him the money.
And just like that, ten million top-grade spirit stones were gone.
Or another example:
“Aiyoo, this fruit doesn’t taste good. It’s not as delicious as the ones I picked. I think I should go out and pick some myself.”
“Also, this roast meat doesn’t taste as good as the one I hunted.”
In short, there are plenty of excuses, and the goal is to go out, to extort money.
In just seven or eight days, Jiang Xiaobai managed to fleece more than a hundred million top-grade spirit stones away from Xiao Yuwei.
Xiao Yuwei, out of annoyance, came to warn him personally.
If he continued to mess around like this, she would let Jiang Xiaobai meet his doom. At that time, everyone in Thousand Yuan City would chase him to the ends of the earth.
Only then did Jiang Xiaobai stop.
Time ticked away, until the day finally arrived.
Early in the morning, as soon as Jiang Xiaobai woke up, he walked around the room and woke up AnRan.
“What are we eating this morning?”
“It’s definitely Dragon Turtle Sea Emperor Fish. The way you prepare sashimi is really delicious. I didn’t know it could taste this good.”
AnRan drooled.
While cultivators at their level could live without food, these ingredients were still extremely valuable. Even cultivators would benefit greatly from eating them.
Plus, they were delicious, who would refuse such a delicacy?
But just as he was about to go out for breakfast, he saw Xiao Yuwei coming in with a group of people.
“You’ve lived like kings these past few days, now it’s time to get to work.” She shot a cold glance at Jiang Xiaobai.
She was almost driven mad these past few days and was regretting why she thought of asking Jiang Xiaobai for help in the first place?
However, there was no choice. The person was already here, and she didn’t have much time left to find other candidates.
“Come with me..”
