Chapter 436 - 436 Should We Run?
436 Should We Run?
Tie Zhu also heard the voice from the jade slip. Seeing that the person was stunned, Tie Zhu said, “Fellow Daoist, should we run?”
The leader raised his head and looked coldly at Tie Zhu.
In the next second, Tie Zhu saw that person throw something over. Tie Zhu instinctively kicked it away.
That thing exploded in the air and directly destroyed half of the kitchen.
Dong Xi was already worried about Tie Zhu. Hearing such a loud noise, she immediately rushed over.
Seeing the two of them covered in dust and dirt, as well as half of the destroyed kitchen, Dong Xi could not help but inhale sharply. Dong Xi said, “Amazing, there are even firearms and explosives?”
Of course, it was not explosives like in her previous life. The leader was a fire-elemental cultivator who stored his fire spiritual energy in a magic weapon.
This magic tool was particularly explosive. Its material was Gray Ripple Stone, and its structure was extremely unstable. Once the seal was opened, it would have the same power as a thermal weapon.
Dong Xi immediately used a cleaning spell. Tie Zhu and Cui Liu were cleaned up a little, revealing their original appearances.
The kitchen was clean again, so it was a place to stay.
Dong Xi looked around the kitchen but did not find the leader.
“He ran away?” asked Dong Xi.
Tie Zhu shrugged helplessly. “Probably.”
Then, Tie Zhu looked at Cui Liu and said, “Brother Liu, why don’t we not go to that Secret Realm?”
Tie Zhu wanted to go, but he could find another way to get the quota.
Tie Zhu would feel bad if he dragged his friend down because of this matter.
When Cui Liu heard this, he was anxious. Cui Liu said, “How can I? Even if I don’t go myself, I’ll let you go. You’re still young. If you encounter a good opportunity, your future will definitely be bright.”
Dong Xi was listening to their conversation from the side. She blinked her eyes and could tell that those people were not here for revenge, but for the spots.
Dong Xi was speechless for a moment. They were already so stupid, yet they could still reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Their ancestors must have blessed them.
Since they came for the quota, why did they not choose to come when there were fewer people? Why did they come when there were more people?
Dong Xi guessed that those Golden Core cultivators also knew about Cui Liu’s secret, so they all came to eat. Not only could they satisfy their appetite, but they could also condense spiritual energy by eating fish. Such an opportunity was rare.
Hearing that the two were still trying to convince each other, Dong Xi could not help but say, “How about… Selling the last spot?”
Cui Liu and Tie Zhu were stunned and looked at Dong Xi at the same time.
“It’s fine if no one else knows about what happened today,” said Dong Xi. “But now that almost everyone knows about it, it’s better to sell it openly. This way, you can also bring allies. If you get picked on again, your allies will also help you for the Secret Realm quota.”
Cui Liu was stupid, and so was Tie Zhu.
Before Dong Xi suggested selling the spots, the two of them had never thought that they could earn money by selling the spots.
“Indeed, humans are smart,” Cui Liu said while stroking his chin.
“Who said that?” Tie Zhu asked indifferently.
Cui Liu looked at Tie Zhu for a long time and said, “That’s true. You can’t make the same generalizations.”
When Dong Xi heard their words, she almost could not help but laugh out loud. Fortunately, she managed to hold it in.
Cui Liu said, “There are still two spots left after I gave them to you. Human hearts are unpredictable. It’s better not to sell them. What if those two aren’t good people and hurt us again?”
“Fellow Daoist Cui, you can sell all of these spots,” Dong Xi shook her head and said.
Cui Liu immediately said, “How can I?!”
“Fellow Daoist Cui, don’t worry. Listen to me,” Dong Xi continued.
Cui Liu frowned and looked at Dong Xi. Dong Xi smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, don’t worry. My father-in-law will help us buy the spots back.”
Tie Zhu, “?”
“Junior Sister, have you always been the son-in-law of the Shangguan family?” Tie Zhu asked in disbelief.
“What’s wrong?” asked Dong Xi.
Anyway, Dong Li was the son-in-law of the Shangguan family. What did it have to do with Dong Xi?
“Junior Sister, I rarely admire others in my life, but I really admire you!” Tie Zhu said.
“Senior Brother, you don’t have to be so polite,” said Dong Xi with a smile.
Cui Liu was an honest man, but he was able to gain a foothold in the Void Ocean. Naturally, he was not a fool.
Cui Liu looked at Dong Xi in shock when he heard their conversation. Cui Liu said, “Fellow Daoist, are you the son-in-law of the Shangguan family?”
“That’s right, it’s me!” Dong Xi said proudly.
Cui Liu heard this and frowned again. Cui Liu said, “Fellow Daoist, isn’t it inappropriate for us to lie to Shangguan Patriarch like this?”
