“Grrr….” Lu Changwei’s face scrunched up and started cursing inside, feeling like he had just taken a bite of turd.
“I didn’t believe it, but now I do.”
Chen Xiaobei obviously meant this for the onlookers.
Perhaps last time, there were still some people who did not believe that Lu Changwei was a rich fool with too much money. But at this very moment, those who had witnessed what had happened would have believed it.
Lu Changwei may have bought all the cinnabar and yellow papers, but he lost his dignity. All of it!
He went for wool and came back shorn!
“Master Wu, pay up! A real man keeps his words!” Chen Xiaobei sneered.
“Nonsense! I, Lu Changwei, am a man of action! I always do what I say!” Lu Changwei’s dignity was bruised enough, so he was not about to go back on his word.
He could only bite his tongue, resist the urge to throw up, and pay Gu Congwen all the Spiritual Stones he owed.
The crowd could not stop themselves from laughing at this scenario, shooting derisive glances at Lu Changwei.
Lu Changwei had lost enough face that he did not want to stay any longer. He took the yellow papers and cinnabars, and turned around to leave with his lackeys.
Before he left, Lu Changwei threatened, “You little twat! Just you wait! You will pay for this!”
“Phew!” Once Lu Changwei was at quite a distance away, Gu Congwen let out a sigh of relief. “Mr. Chen, I did quite a good job, didn’t I?”
“Mm, not bad! There’s some improvement!” Chen Xiaobei nodded. “That 1 million Spiritual Stones is your reward!”
“Reward?” Gu Chongwen was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized what Chen Xiaobei meant.
Yellow paper and cinnabars were items that Talisman Craftsmen had use for, and were useless for an average person.
That meant that Lu Changwei could have given up at any point of time during the ‘bid’. Chen Xiaobei had taken the risk to bait the stupid fish, Lu Changwei. If Lu Changwei had pulled out of the bidding, Chen Xiaobei would have to empty his pockets of Spiritual Stones to pay for the cinnabars and yellow paper.
Chen Xiaobei had contended for the 1 million Spiritual Stones that Gu Congwen earned. That was why it was considered a reward.
“It looks like I did not choose the wrong person! Siding with Mr. Chen is extremely rewarding!” Gu Congwen exclaimed.
“Because you treat me as your own, I won’t treat you unfairly!” Chen Xiaobei smiled.
Gu Congwen’s smile curved downwards all of a sudden. “But the problem is, Mr. Chen, the yellow paper and cinnabars that you need are all gone! It will take a month for the new stock to arrive!”
“I can’t wait for that long! You don’t need to worry about that. I will take care of it myself!” Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
“You’ll take care of it yourself?” Gu Congwen lowered his voice. “Are you planning to do something to Master Wei?”
“Why? Can I not?” Chen Xiaobei retorted.
“That’s up to me to say.” Gu Congwen swallowed. “Mr. Chen, you need to know that Master Wei is the strongest person amongst his age group in Silver Plume City! He has reached Ethereal Cultivation, and his combat power is 180,000! He’s not someone you’d want to mess with!”
“You don’t have to worry about that. I know what I’m doing.” Chen Xiaobei shrugged again.
Chen Xiaobei needed to kill Ji Xiong within three days. He needed to get the yellow papers and cinnabars.
And he had to take them from Lu Changwei.
But it did not mean that he would have to use guns and knives to do that. Using his wits was the better option!
Gu Congwen felt unsettled. “Mr. Chen! You have to be very careful! Once you step out of this door, I cannot protect you anymore!”
“Mm, I’ll leave from the back door.” Chen Xiaobei knew that Lu Changwei and his lackeys were still most probably waiting by the front door, waiting to ambush him. He could avoid them by taking the back door.
Once outside, Chen Xiaobei found a hidden spot to change into his Nightstalker Outfit. Once he made himself invisible, he circled to the front door to counter Lu Changwei.
“Master Wei, why isn’t the little twat coming out? Do you think he’s too scared to come out?” A fat Silver Plume noble asked.
“If he comes out, I will beat him to death immediately!” Lu Changwei growled.
“What if he doesn’t come out? We can’t wait here the whole day.” Fatty said. “Why don’t we go find ourselves some women? We can just send some men to keep watch here!”
“Women? Are there new merchandise?”
Lu Changwei’s interest was piqued.
“Of course, there are new merchandise! Why else would I invite Master Wei?” Fatty chuckled. “17… 18 years old! Fresh blood! They are extremely tender!”
“Alright! Let’s go! I could use some good time!”
Lu Changwei was very excited now.
“You guys keep watch here. If there’s any news on the little twat, call me immediately!” Fatty instructed before leaving with Lu Changwei.
In a luxurious villa.
Lu Changwei had just taken a shower, and was lying on a spacious bed in his sleeping robe, humming a tune.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
“Come in!” Lu Changwei licked his lips expectantly.
“Master Wei! I’ve brought you a beautiful woman!”
Fatty smiled, as he led a young girl into the room.
Like Fatty said, the girl was only around 18 years of age. She was stunning with delicate features! And her skin was silky and fair.
There was unmistakable fear in her big beautiful eyes. Even so, there was a twinkle in her eyes like the stars in the night sky.
She was tall for her age with long, lean legs that drew attention.
He tensile calves led upwards to her deliciously curvy thighs.
These two flawless legs were enough to take control of all the fetish-filled men.
“Wow! She really is a gorgeous child!” Lu Changwei’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and he had to keep swallowing his drool from running down his chin.
“Are you pleased, Master Wei?” Fatty asked.
“Yes! I am very pleased!” Lu Changwei was not stingy with his compliments. “I’ve been with hundreds of women here! But this one is definitely the best one yet! In the whole Silver Plume planet, only she can compare to Wenren Muyue!”
“If that’s the case, then I shall take my leave now! Enjoy yourself, Master Wei! Take your time!” Fatty walked out and closed the door behind him.
Lu Changwei got off the bed, and walked up to the girl. He placed a finger under her chin and lifted her chin. “What is your name?”
“I… I…” The girl was trembling. She breathed in to calm herself down, and answered in a small voice, “My name is Linghu Shuang.”
“Ling Hu (Spiritual Vixen)?”
Chen Xiaobei, who had been hiding in the corner of the room, had mistaken Linghu for Linghu, and was suddenly in a panic.
Could this young girl be related to Demonic Fox?
“Linghu? That surname is very rare!” Lu Changwei asked again, “Where are you from?”
“Surname? Oh, I guess I was just overthinking.” Chen Xiaobei frowned.
