Chapter 290: 290 – I will not come home every day and you will die of loneliness
The team from Jade Top Mountain was still there, but Zhuang Huanling was missing!
He instantly guessed that she had gone to the number eight secret area for trials, damning his own bad luck.
“Damn, what a cunning woman picking the right timing! I wanted to see how she managed to pass the number eight secret area!”
That Zhuang Huanling dared to pay such a hefty price to venture into the number eight secret area, she must have mastered some unknown tricks. Jiang Xiaobai had speculated as much earlier.
If he knew about it, it would be beneficial. Even if he didn’t, he could ask Zhuang Huanling about the situation inside the secret area, it would be better to be prepared.
In a moment, Jiang Xiaobai felt a great regret.
While he was regretting it, someone suddenly patted his shoulder. He turned around and saw Zhuang Huanling with her veil standing beside him.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. You really do have problems,” Zhuang Huanling taunted.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Jiang Xiaobai was puzzled.
“Hmph, I’ve waited for you here for a long time, and as soon as you came over, you started observing my Jade Top Mountain team. Are you upset because I’m not there?”
“Ah? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You’re just a disgusting businessman, hoping to cause trouble while I’m away in the secret area, right?”
“And then force me to work for you, searching essentialices to buy Frenzy Demon Stones?”
As Zhuang Huanling continued, her fierce and detestable expression seemed to confirm Jiang Xiaobai had such intentions.
Jiang Xiaobai swore he had never thought of that.
If he messed with Zhuang Huanling at this point, wouldn’t he be courting death?
Jiang Xiaobai believed that if anything happened to Zhuang Huanling, she would immediately suspect him. This was without question since their level of trust was below zero.
Furthermore, Zhuang Huanling would absolutely resort to desperate measures. If she got desperate and exposed his real identity, their Mad Demon Secret Land adventure would prematurely end.
“Just leave all your worries behind. I have plenty of time to mess with you, and your crazy behavior may expose me. Do you think I would do that?”
Jiang Xiaobai complained, “Besides, where did you get your unreliable information that I was after you?”
Zhuang Huanling gritted her teeth. “Shuier told me about Xiao Wuwei’s situation, don’t deny it; it was you, wasn’t it?”
“Nonsense, it wasn’t me! Do you have any evidence to prove it was me?” Jiang Xiaobai absolutely denied.
For a moment, the two stood in a standoff.
Neither was willing to back down, both full of suspicion for each other.
If this kept going on, An Ran was imagining that these two might end up in a fight, making things even more interesting.
“Zhuang Huanling is a practitioner in the middle stage of Dividing the gods!”
“Both of you, don’t you worry about people misunderstanding with you two standing so close?”
At this moment, a mockery came from Xiao Yuwei.
With her comment, the pair realized their positioning and swiftly retreated.
“Damn it!”
“Despicable!”
Both of them blurted out simultaneously, their eyes widening at the same time.
“What did you say?”
On the side, Xiao Yuwei sighed. “Look at both of you, your harmony is fascinating. Why don’t you just get married?”
“Rubbish! Do you think I would fancy a shameless man like him?”
“Hmph, a crazy woman like you, if you can find a man in this life, I’ll drink water while standing on my head!”
As they spoke, their eyes were full of anger as if many past resentment had arisen.
The situation seemed to be quickly escalating from bickering to brawling.
“Big brother, why not… since you two love quarreling so much, why not consider getting married for real? It will be thrilling.”
An Ran was shrugging his shoulders, struggling to suppress his laughter.
As a result, Jiang Xiaobai and Zhuang Huanling moved forward together, each kicking An Ran, who fell over, crying out in pain.
Zhuang Huanling looked at Jiang Xiaobai coldly. “It’s just marriage. What’s there to be afraid of? I bet you’re too frightened.”
“Hmph, do you actually think I’m scared of you? Alright, let’s get married then! But I won’t go home every day so you can die of loneliness!”
“Bastard, you’re taking advantage of my generosity!” Zhuang Huanling reprimanded fiercely. “I am beautiful and desirable, the men who pursue me are far better than you!”
Jiang Xiaobai fired back defiantly, “Whatever, truth be told, my wife is a thousand times, ten thousand times prettier than you, and ten thousand times more gentle. Look at yourself, do you think you’re on my level?”
Jiang Xiaobai’s words were really harsh!
Poisonous enough to drive Zhuang Huanling nuts!
He dared to attack on this front?
“Hong Shixian, do you not know how to write the word ‘death’?” Zhuang Huanling gritted her teeth as a terrifying aura, characteristic of a mid-stage Dividing the Gods practitioner, burst out of her.
Seeing her getting really pissed off and about to attack, Xiao Yuwei knew she couldn’t let this go on and promptly stopped Zhuang Huanling.
“Hmph, Hong Shixian, I have only one thing to say to you: if I don’t successfully enter the secret area, everyone here will know your identity!”
Zhuang Huanling left huffily, leaving behind a mesmerizing silhouette.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Why do you go provoking this woman when you have nothing to do?”
Xiao Yuwei mocked, “I’m not going to meddle if this happens again.”
“You can meddle or not, whatever.”
Jiang Xiaobai casually responded while pulling out a frozen dragon turtle fish king from his storage space. His spiritual power shattered the ice, and the fish flesh returned to its fresh and tender state under the influence of the spiritual power.
With a swing of his knife, he turned the fish into crystal clear fish slices and started to arrange them on a stone plate as condiments appeared from the side.
As he sat down, Jiang Xiaobai called over Xiao Yuwei to eat, who eagerly moved forward and started to eat.
As soon as the fish slices entered her mouth, she savored the exquisite taste, so tender and delicious that it was beyond description.
Xiao Yuwei was impressed, she had never heard of such a way of eating before.
She couldn’t help but eat a few more slices, asking Jiang Xiaobai to prepare more along the way.
This one fish wasn’t enough for the three of them to eat!
…
On the other side, Zhuang Huanling sat petulantly with her team from Jade Top Mountain, exuding an aura that was forbidding to strangers. Feeling the chill around them, her disciples were shivering, and they retreated.
They didn’t want to get involved, or they would get killed.
Meanwhile, Gong Shuier also tiptoed over, carefully sitting next to Zhuang Huanling.
“What happened? Why are you so upset?”
“It’s all because of that disgusting Hong Shixian! He’s as revolting as dog shit!” Zhuang Huanling retorted.
Gong Shuier frowned in surprise, “Strange, I’ve never seen you so angry before. What exactly did that guy do?”
