However, what Jiang Xiaobai cared about was not these, but the price for the quota that this chubby guy mentioned earlier.
Fifty million top-grade spiritual stones for a slot, if he could shell out such a sum, it proved that the little fatso was quite well-off!
“Your family’s pretty wealthy, huh?” Jiang Xiaobai asked casually.
An Fatso slapped his chubby chest, overflowing with smugness. “Honestly, my family’s really well off. Xiaobai, you’ve got a knack for cooking, and your skills—let me tell you—I’m quite taken with them. Why don’t you stick with me and I’ll pay you ten million top-grade spirit stones a year as salary. What do you say?”
On hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai shook his head. An annual salary of ten million top-notch spirit stones?
Ten million top-grade spirit stones wouldn’t even be enough for his two dads and himself to clean their teeth with after dinner, so it was useless.
However, seeing the smug look on the little fatso’s face, perhaps his family really was well-off. For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai wickedly considered recommending his security services to this guy, or maybe acting as a personal chef?
“So- So you don’t think it’s enough?”
An Fatso was taken aback, “Twenty million then? Or you name your price?” Jiang Xiaobai was reminded of a classic quote from Ao Cheng.
“I’m not used to being someone’s lackey, but if you’re okay with it, you can join me,” Jiang Xiaobai replied with an indifferent smile.
“Join you?”
An Fatso squinted, looking Jiang Xiaobai up and down, “Jiang Bai, no offence, but I doubt you have much strength, you have those thin arms and thin legs. Don’t joke around, I bet you may not even be able to beat me.”
“Wanna try?”
“Tsk, let’s give it a shot then!”
With this, AnRan sprang up from the ground, somewhat similar to a rubber ball bouncing off the floor.
He extended his hand, and a pitch-black Xuan iron rod appeared, exuding the aura of a divine weapon!
“Come on, show me what you’ve got.” AnRan, wielding his Xuan iron rod, goaded Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai stood up, pulled out a top-grade longsword, and with lightning speed, rushed towards AnRan, a sword thrust instantly launched.
What he didn’t expect was, although AnRan was bulky, he was surprisingly agile. He twisted his hips and dodged the strike, simultaneously aiming his Xuan iron rod at an awkward angle at Jiang Xiaobai’s thigh.
Jiang Xiaobai swiftly avoided it and simultaneously, his longsword moved from thrust to slash, aimed at AnRan’s chin. AnRan reacted quickly by retreating while bringing down his Xuan iron rod.
After the initial exchange, Jiang Xiaobai nodded mentally, hmmm, a nimble fatso.
AnRan’s eyes lit up as well: “Not bad, Jiang Bai, you do have some strength. If that’s the case, then I won’t hold back!”
“Come at me,” Jiang Xiaobai said with a relaxed smile.
After ten minutes.
Thump!
The ground shook violently, and AnRan, with a bruised face, sat dumbfounded on the ground.
“Impossible, how can you be so strong!” AnRan exclaimed.
Jiang Xiaobai sheathed his sword without saying a word and continued to flip the roast on the fire.
AnRan couldn’t figure out how he had lost to Jiang Xiaobai. He thought about it for a long time and still didn’t get it, especially since he possessed divine strength and had far greater power than others at the same level.
And yet he couldn’t gain the upper hand against Jiang Xiaobai?
Frankly speaking, Jiang Xiaobai’s Nine Revolutions Skill had broken through to the third revolution, the strength and the power of the physical body could not be imagined by ordinary people. Even if this little fatso had divine strength, if they competed in terms of strength alone, the latter would surely be overwhelmed by Jiang Xiaobai.
However, it didn’t take long for the scent of the roast to attract AnRan’s attention. He became the same foodie again, his eyes fixed on the roast rack, drooling with clear and transparent saliva at the corners of his mouth.
Soon, the roast was ready. They both ate meat and drank wine.
“Jiang Bai, I’m sure you’re also headed for the Mad Demon Secret Land. Why don’t we team up? Then, when we enter that place, we can stick together, divide the loot evenly. What do you think?” AnRan looked at Jiang Xiaobai excitedly.
Having fought earlier, he could tell that Jiang Xiaobai was absolutely exceptional. And any exception showing up at this point of time was surely for the Mad Demon Secret Land.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai took a deep breath and said indifferently, “You know I’m the Thousand Yuan Dynasty’s most wanted criminal, right? Are you sure you want to join me?”
“Huh? A wanted criminal? What did you do?”
“Ah, nothing major. Just wiped out a city lord’s mansion,” Jiang Xiaobai replied casually.
Just as AnRan was about to speak, he froze, looking at Jiang Xiaobai as if he had seen a ghost.
“Yo- You… wiped out a city lord’s mansion and yet you’re alive! Weren’t you hammered to death by the Thousand Yuan Dynasty’s Silver Armor Army?” AnRan exclaimed.
“If you’re talking about the guys in silver armor, they most likely didn’t get a chance to hammer me to death. Instead, I killed quite a few of them,” Jiang Xiaobai said to AnRan, “I am an enemy to death with the Thousand Yuan
Dynasty, and if you follow me, you might get involved.”
What he didn’t expect, however, was the look of excitement on AnRan’s face. “Damn it, Jiang Bai, you actually did what we’ve always wanted to do but never dared to!”
AnRan exclaimed, “I and a few of my friends have been annoyed with those city lord mansions for a long time. They always bully us, the common people, just because they have the support of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty.”
“Just for this, An Fatso is willing to call you boss. Man, you’re a hero!”
Jiang Xiaobai was dumbfounded, “You realise I’m still a wanted man, right?
Countless people want my head. Aren’t you afraid of getting caught up in this?”
“Afraid my ass! Becoming an immortal involves facing difficulties head-on. Just relax, if anyone comes looking for you, I’ll help you beat them up,” AnRan said, thumping his chest.
“Hmm, now I know why your father likes to beat you. If I had a son like you, I’d probably have broken his legs a long time ago,” Jiang Xiaobai said wearily.
This An Fatso was such a disaster. Jiang Xiaobai wondered how his father could tolerate him.
Then, AnRan began to inquire about the specifics of the past event. After just a general outline from Jiang Xiaobai, little Fatso was left absolutely spellbound.
Especially when he heard that Jiang Xiaobai poisoned both Feng Liangfei and his son, he was more than thrilled.
“Good, you did well to kill them!”
“These harmful bastards deserved it! They can’t be spared!” AnRan exclaimed with excitement.
He then looked at Jiang Xiaobai, his eyes sparkling, “Jiang Bai, from now on, you’re my elder brother. If there’s anything exciting like this in the future, you’ve got to include me.”
Jiang Xiaobai merely chuckled in response and didn’t say much. Seeing this, AnRan quieted down and, before long, fell asleep leaning against the tree trunk.
No words were exchanged that night. Early the next morning, after getting washed up, An Fatso started coaxing Jiang Xiaobai to go to the Mad Demon Secret Land.
But could he possibly wheedle Jiang Xiaobai into it?
