Chapter 287: 287 – Take another look?
Zhuang Huanling seemed ambitious, not only satisfied with the eighth secret land, but also wanted to explore other secret lands.
However, this had nothing to do with Jiang Xiaobai.
It was a fair transaction – money for goods.
Without hesitation, he took out a storage ring and threw it at Zhuang Huanling.
“I am giving you two extra as a discount in appreciation of your purchase.”
Jiang Xiaobai said calmly, “But in return, you can help me spread the word.”
Upon receiving the Frenzy Demon Stones, Zhuang Huanling suddenly changed her expression, her face filled with mockery.
“Help you spread the word?”
“Hong Shixian, are you dreaming? Do you really think I have that much free time?”
“You should know how much effort we, the disciples of Jade Top Mountain, have spent to get these essences for you, and some of us have been seriously injured!”
Zhuang Huanling sneered, “It’s already more than good enough that I’m not asking you for some compensation for emotional distress. Don’t be too greedy; this is just a fair transaction.”
“Wait a minute, you just called it a fair transaction, now you want compensation for emotional distress?”
Jiang Xiaobai laughed out of anger, “Unexpected of you, Zhuang Huanling, you seem to have quite a few tricks up your sleeve. Changed your face as soon as these Frenzy Demon Stones fell into your hand?”
“Really?”
Zhuang Huanling chuckled, “Enough, enough, I am teasing you. You have helped me, after all. We can settle our grievances outside. I promised not to cause trouble for you in the Mad Demon Secret Land.”
“But about helping you advertise… I think I better not. I’m afraid I might reveal your identity unintentionally.”
Saying this, Zhuang Huanling turned to leave, not even looking back, she waved her hand at Jiang Xiaobai. Her attitude, quite casual.
Jiang Xiaobai felt like he was watching a Hong Kong movie…
“What a freak, this woman definitely has a problem with her brain. If it wasn’t for the fact that I can fleece you, I would’ve slapped you earlier!”
Jiang Xiaobai sneered inwardly while weighing the storage ring in hand. The essences in it could be exchanged for approximately seven to eight billion high-grade spirit stones.
If the Frenzy Demon Stones sold by AnRan previously were also accounted for, together they could be exchanged for more than ten billion.
His first fortune was now in his hands!
And this all happened within a short period of time after entering the Mad Demon Secret Land!
There were still more than ten days left. Jiang Xiaobai believed his wealth would only increase with time.
Putting away the storage ring, Jiang Xiaobai returned to Xiao Yuwei’s side.
Upon seeing the occasional sly smile on his face, Xiao Yuwei felt a chill down her spine.
“What did you go to do with Zhuang Huanling?”
“I’m warning you, Jiang Bai. Don’t plan on stirring up trouble. Zhuang Huanling is no pushover.”
Jiang Xiaobai smirked casually.
“What if I told you I have resentment for against this woman, would you believe me?”
“I would! I believe it so much!”
Xiao Yuwei clenched her fists and practically growled, “I would believe you if you said you two were archenemies.”
“Hmm, isn’t that somewhat premature? The resentment is big, but it’s not to the point of archenemies.”
Jiang Xiaobai chuckled.
Although Zhuang Huanling was quite disgusting before, for unknown reasons, she intentionally called over five strong men to overpower him.
Not only did she embarrassed him, but she also intentionally revealed his whereabouts, which led to them being pursued.
It was one thing to expose oneself, and another entirely to have one’s location exposed by others.
It’s even more chilling when it’s the opponent intentionally playing cat and mouse.
Jiang Xiaobai was indeed thinking of finding the person behind the scene at that time and killing them to put an end to it.
However, the presence of Zhuang Yuling dispelled this thought.
It’s clear that Zhuang Yuling and Zhuang Huanling had a close relationship, and Zhuang Yuling was a cross-robbery expert!
What was he, Jiang Xiaobai, supposed to confront such a powerful expert with?
Even if there were measures to deal with her, it wasn’t necessary to have a head-on collision. That wasn’t bravery, that was stupidity.
Furthermore, Jiang Xiaobai has already tricked Zhuang Huanling a few times. Especially the first time, their behavior was bizarrely similar.
So considering various aspects, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t want to escalate it to the point of complete hostility. Of course, if Zhuang Huanling persisted in courting death, Jiang Xiaobai was not someone to be messed with either.
“Hmm, I let my thoughts wander.”
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head silently, tossing away the messy thoughts in his mind. Paying no heed to Xiao Yuwei, who was on the verge of exploding, he laid down on a rock to rest and recuperate.
“Hmm?”
“Maybe, I should check my reputation again?”
This idea popped into his mind, Jiang Xiaobai became restless.
The last time he closed the reputation function, the reputation points were over six hundred. The rapid increase gave him a feeling of living a dream.
A few days had passed, and the thought sprung up again, making him itch.
“Let’s take a look, just a peek.”
Murmuring to himself, Jiang Xiaobai opened the reputation page. As soon as he saw the reputation points, he sat straight up!
788 reputation points!
Have I gone crazy? I must have!
“What on earth is going on? Why is this happening? This shouldn’t be, it makes no sense!”
Jiang Xiaobai sat on the rock, completely baffled, constantly pulling his hair.
He was totally perplexed.
The system was certainly not going to malfunction, so how did these reputation points suddenly surge?
“What’s wrong with you again?”
Xiao Yuwei’s rebuke came from the side: “Jiang Bai, do you really think I can’t do anything about you? Can’t you sit still without freaking out all the time?”
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai now, Xiao Yuwei was almost going crazy. Would he be satisfied if he didn’t cause her blood pressure to spike one day?
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t pay any mind to Xiao Yuwei. He was constantly pondering over the sudden increase in his reputation points. For a moment, he felt a little dizzy.
Although having more reputation was a good thing as he could utilize more points in the store.
But suddenly having such good luck, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t believe pie could fall from the sky. He didn’t like this feeling of chaos and loss of control.
This continued until the evening when AnRan prodded Jiang Xiaobai’s shoulder, pulling him back to reality.
“Boss, you’ve been in a daze all day. It’s time for the appointment!”
AnRan whispered.
Only then did Jiang Xiaobai come to his senses. He shook his head, cast off his thoughts, got up, and left.
He went to a secluded area with AnRan, disguised himself and headed to the rendezvous point.
