"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Li Ming felt that if he stayed here any longer, he would become the target of everyone's criticism.

This is not the most important thing.

Most importantly, he couldn't afford to lose face.

Their target was the Holy Maiden of the Immortal Sect; this black dog is far too arrogant.

They really don't know their own limitations!

This place is not safe to stay for long. He has no money or valuables in this world, so he took out a pearl, placed it on the table, and immediately left the tavern and the town of Lanke.

It's not that I'm afraid of the trouble, but I feel so embarrassed.

He is a gentleman, a respectable person.

His public persona cannot be allowed to crumble.

"Sir, please wait..."

The tavern waiter chased after him.

He wanted Li Ming to take the pearls to the Treasure Pavilion to exchange them for some money, but after looking around, he couldn't find Li Ming anywhere.

Walking back, I woke up the boss who was sleeping with his eyes half-closed.

"Boss, this customer is really strange. He left a pearl and ran away. Can this be used to pay for the drinks?"

The shopkeeper shuddered in fright, narrowed his eyes, and said, "This is a pearl that's been around for ten thousand years. We've struck it rich!"

His voice was loud, and immediately everyone in the tavern looked at the pearl. People gathered around to look at it, their eyes filled with astonishment. This pearl was at least 50,000 years old.

Its value is enough to buy at least thirty of these taverns.

That customer just left his money there.

This quickly sparked heated discussion and a fierce debate.

The whole town of Lanke was in an uproar, and the owner of the small tavern became a wealthy man in Lanke.

Becoming a millionaire happened in an instant, and the boss still feels like he's dreaming.

Li Ming, the instigator, was completely unaware that these pearls, connected to the Northern Sea by the water tank, were incredibly abundant.

Some are of such low quality that I'm too lazy to even pick them up.

Suddenly, a voice came out, saying, "Brother Dog, don't walk so fast, take me with you."

"Who are you?" Li Ming asked, looking at the person who had just arrived.

"It's me." The man, panting heavily, leaned on his knees and said, "The one who treated you to roast chicken earlier, my name is Gu Ci. Gu means 'bright and radiant,' and Ci means 'to depart from this world.' So, I am Gu Ci."

Li Ming looked at him: "Is there something you need?"

"Hey Dog Bro, where are you going? Take me with you. Are you planning to adopt a human pet? Count me in."

"Don't shout nonsense. My name is Li Ming. That dog, I'll hang it up and beat it when I have time." Li Ming felt that this dog was getting more and more naughty, actually daring to do something like taking someone as a pet. "Wait, something's not right."

At this moment, he noticed what Gu Ci said: "Count me in as someone who's being pampered. Goodness, so you want to do it too."

Birds of a feather flock together.

Gu Ci still treated Li Ming like a black dog, saying, "Brother Dog, here's what I'm thinking. We can pull off a big heist. Didn't you take in a lot of Holy Maidens? What's the use of keeping so many Holy Maidens? We can do this: spread the word and have the Immortal Sect or Holy Land pay the ransom to buy the Holy Maidens back."

"The immortal sects and holy lands will certainly not boast about their holy maiden being kidnapped in order to save face. This way, we can make a fortune."

"After a while, we'll kidnap another batch of saintesses, and repeat this cycle. I think we can become rich in just a few years."

"You're a fucking genius." Li Ming was speechless.

What did you say?

"nothing."

Li Ming ignored him.

He prayed silently that this guy named Gu Ci wouldn't run into the black dog, otherwise, the Holy Maiden might be in danger.

He shook his head and soared into the sky.

"Brother Dog, wait for me."

Gu Ci wanted to follow, but he disappeared in an instant.

"Running so fast, is this Dog Bro trying to make a fortune quietly? I should have known better than to share my money-making strategy."

"Forget it, I'll go to Yunmeng Kingdom first. Duobao, this time, you'll definitely fall into my hands."

He stared at the numbers in his hand, realizing he'd been robbed six times—it was utterly humiliating.

As Bai Xiaosheng just mentioned, Duobao Nv recently appeared at the water park in Yunmeng Kingdom. This is a great opportunity that we shouldn't miss.

Let's take a gamble.

We can win this time.

...

Li Ming left Lanke Town without lingering, his destination being the Great Martial God Dynasty, the capital.

He had never been to this place before, so he came here first to take a look and see where Wu Xiao lived.

A moment later.

Tens of thousands of miles away from the capital of the Great Martial God Dynasty, they saw people fighting in the sky above the capital. It was an old man and a very young-looking boy fighting.

Young people don't recognize it.

Li Ming recognized the old man. He had a square face, a face full of frowns, and bright, piercing eyes. He wore loose robes and had a long, rectangular knife box on his back.

The scabbard was longer than he was.

"Isn't this Su Xu?"

Li Ming had once given him some pointers; back when they were still at the Great Wall, he himself had recommended him to Wu Xiao to be the regent.

He's currently the regent, so how did he end up fighting with a young man?

"Draw your sword, or you will be defeated." The young man stood high above the clouds, exuding an air of grandeur, his feet resting on a mythical peacock.

"If I draw my sword, you will die."

Su Xu looked at the young man in front of him. He really didn't want to make a move. If he really drew his sword, the young man would surely die.

He has a nickname, "One-Sword Asura," and it's not just a casual remark.

If he were to draw his knife, he wouldn't be able to control himself.

He didn't want to kill the young man.

Because this wasn't his first time here. Although he wasn't from the Great Martial God Dynasty, his purpose in coming here was simple: he wanted to see Wu Xiao.

"King Peacock, go back now. I won't tell you. If you keep making a fuss, consider it a provocation against the Great Martial God Dynasty. Don't blame me for being impolite then."
