Chapter 279: 279 – Closing the Deal
Traded Frenzy Demon Stones to this woman would be entirely beneficial. What’s more, she could help boost the sales of Frenzy Demon Stones secretly.
He didn’t agree to the proposition immediately, only because he wanted to play with this woman’s mind.
She should have seen this coming when she sent someone to mess with him before.
This thought angered Jiang Xiaobai immensely.
He chuckled and bargained: “Alright, exchanging twenty thumb-sized cores for one Frenzy Demon Stone.”
“Twenty thumb-sized cores?”
Zhuang Huanling almost yelled out of surprise, she quickly rushed up and grabbed Qin Chen’s collar, her eyes were burning with rage.
“Bastard, you’re trying to trick me again, aren’t you? You think I don’t know that you’re offering others the half of that price.”
“Do you really think me a soft touch?”
“Well, it is, you who declared it, not me.”
Jiang Xiaobai quickly raised his hands, putting on an innocent look.
Seeing this reaction from him, Zhuang Huanling was even more irate, even at this stage, he wished to trick her?
Did he take her for a pushover?
“If you knew the price, why did you bother to ask?” Jiang Xiaobai laughed.
“I expected you to give me a discount. You better believe it if I call out right now and reveal that you’re Hong Shixian, I guarantee that it will end badly for you. If you don’t die, you will definitely miss this opportunity!” Zhuang Huanling said while gritting her teeth.
“Then eight cores.”
“Five!”
“Ten!” Jiang Xiaobai glared back: “Listen, Zhuang Huanling, I am already being very considerate. If anyone else threatened me like this, you’d better believe that I’d pull them into a private room to teach them a lesson!”
“Because you can’t beat me.” Zhuang Huanling answered, grinning.
“Wanna try?”
“I don’t have time to play around with you. Will you give me the cores or not?”
“Eight cores is my final offer, if you disagree, feel free to expose me. You will not get any cores!”
Jiang Xiaobai casually said.
Zhuang Huanling was speechless, indeed, Jiang Xiaobai’s words had struck a nerve.
The main goal of her visit to the Mad Demon’s Secret Land was the eighth secret spot because she mastered the technique to pass through it!
Yes, exactly that!
During a previous adventure, Zhuang Huanling stumbled upon an ancient text, with some records about the Mad Demon’s Secret Land. The author of the records happened to have passed through the eighth secret spot.
Details of the situation within the eighth secret spot, along with the techniques to pass the test, were recorded in the ancient text.
Knowing this, how could Zhuang Huanling not attempt it?
She had been trying to acquire more Frenzy Demon Stones along the way, but due to the riot of the Frenzy Demon pack, she missed many opportunities.
The only way for her to enter right now was to exchange Frenzy Demon Stones with Jiang Xiaobai.
Thinking of this angered Zhuang Huanling even more.
This bastard was actually using this to threaten her!
“Alright, eight cores it is. But wait for me, I will get them for you within three days.”
Zhuang Huanling gritted her teeth and glared at Jiang Xiaobai: “I’m telling you, if you dare to trick me then, I won’t let you off easily.”
“Then I will be waiting for the good news.” Jiang Xiaobai said with a faint smile.
After giving Jiang Xiaobai a fierce glare, Zhuang Huanling turned and left, moving swiftly and soon joined the Jade Top Mountain’s team.
Without saying much, the group of Jade Top Mountain disciples abruptly departed, which was quite abrupt amidst the chaotic brawl.
Many from the rival forces turned to look at Zhuang Huanling, speculating what this woman might be up to.
If they knew Zhuang Huanling’s true aims and thoughts, they would definitely do everything in their power to stop her.
Kidding me? The greater the consumption of Frenzy Demon Stones in the secret spot, the more chances of rewards. Everyone knew that the eighth secret spot is the most expensive one. If someone could pass it, the rewards would be unimaginable.
Not a single one of those present was a good person. They were all like, better you die than me.
They hold a belief.
If I can’t have it, nobody else can either.
When the time comes to retaliate against Zhuang Huanling, they will deal with it then. They just couldn’t let her get into the eighth secret spot without a hitch.
As for Zhuang Huanling’s departure, it didn’t have any effect on the ongoing melee battle. Everybody was just diverted for a few seconds, then continued with the fight.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan remained aloof from the situation. They even shamelessly sat on a vantage point, wielding melons, watching the grand melee fight happening beneath them, appearing quite at ease.
“Boss, don’t you have any plans for the secret spot?” AnRan asked while enjoying his melon.
“Sure I do, the time is just not ripe yet. Right now, it’s more important to act quickly to gain some benefit, not to worry about the irrelevant.” Jiang Xiaobai said: “By the way, Fatty, do you have any thoughts on the more challenging secret spots?”
“Of course, I do! Since we have enough Frenzy Demon stones, why not give it a shot?” AnRan excitedly replied: “Boss, imagine if I manage to get through, won’t I become successful overnight?”
“Fly what fly? Look at what you are, people can transform from a caterpillar into a butterfly and fly. What can you transform into? Even if you grow wings, with your physique, you won’t be able to lift off.” Jiang Xiaobai mercilessly teased and then ignored a silently lamenting AnRan’s words, setting his eyes on the fifth secret spot.
As luck would have it, he saw Xiao Wuwei making his move.
The reason Xiao Wuwei moved now was, first, to watch the situation, second, to finish the test of the secret spot as soon as possible so he could claim rewards in the Mad Demon Secret Land.
The rewards offered here are not as simple as just the secret spots. This place is not much different from the Mad Demon Valley – it’s huge and it holds many dangers. Nobody has been able to explore it completely.
Every time the Mad Demon Secret Land was opened, there would always be some lucky individuals who stumbled upon good opportunities unexpectedly, no less rewarding than passing the test of the secret spots.
Seeing Xiao Wuwei making his move, a cruel smile appeared on Jiang Xiaobai’s face.
“Fatty, the good show is about to start.”
“Hehe, Boss, don’t worry, I won’t let those bastards off lightly when the time comes either.” Anran smirked.
Following this, Jiang Xiaobai used an earth travel spell and vanished into thin air.
At the fifth secret spot, everyone watched as Xiao Wuwei took action, their faces tense.
Although Xiao Wuwei was the third prince, his title didn’t hold any weight in the secret spot. Power was the true king. Since the fifth secret spot had the most rewarding prize among the five spots, naturally, many people had their eyes on it.
Among the crowd was Xiao Ruyu.
“Little brother, so anxious to enter the game?” Xiao Ruyu remarked casually.
“Yeah, time is of the essence. The sooner I complete the test in the secret spot, the more places I can explore.” Xiao Wuwei laughed lightly: “Sis, are you going to compete with me?”
