Chapter 179 He may have grown smaller, but his love of money hasn't diminished—it's terrifying.
"See that, host?" Ao Bai coaxed Hua Li into taking out a fire-type card. "Count how many stars are on it now?"
Little Pear blinked and looked at it with pity, "You can't even count."
Ao Bai: "He's small, but he still deserves a beating."
Huali gently grasped Aobai's tail and tapped the little stars one by one, "One, two, three, four, four in total. Come on, say it once."
Seeing that Ao Bai remained silent, she offered a dry attempt at comfort: "Don't worry, even mentally challenged cats have the potential to become internet celebrities, and you can talk, so don't get carried away... Fei Fei."
Ao Bai: "...Alright."
Manager Ao, the big cat, is magnanimous and doesn't hold grudges against children. His tone is the same as when Huali was selling "Little Junior Sister": "Let me tell you what the four little stars mean. They represent the completion of our great cause!"
"The host's fire-type card has been upgraded to SSR!"
Huali nodded dryly, "Oh, great." After that perfunctory reply, she continued to happily wipe the non-existent dust off the spirit stone with her small handkerchief.
Her workload is enormous; she needs to hurry to finish it.
Looking at the mountains of spirit stones piled up around him, Ao Bai couldn't resist secretly using his tail to snatch one away.
Since the host took all its hidden savings, it's not unreasonable for it to ask for some interest back now.
However, before it could be successfully placed into the small pocket under its chin, Little Pear's eyes had already caught sight of it, "Ao Bai, you're being naughty."
Ao Bai: "..." The kitten was persistent. "You can't possibly spend all of this, and what does a child need so much money for? I'll keep it safe for you."
"But these aren't ours either." Hua Li snatched the spirit stones back. "They don't have enough Qiankun bags right now, so they asked me to keep them for them. They'll have to return them later."
Ao Bai: "...So, the dignified ruler of the Holy Capital Demon Realm, the Lord of Sunset City, the rich second-generation of Canglan Prefecture, and the holy son of the Buddhist sect can't even produce a Qiankun bag?"
The little girl worked diligently, saying, "Yes, that's right."
Ao Bai: "......"
After this demoralizing machine had ravaged everyone in the morning, it made a series of requests—eating KFC, drinking milkshakes, and playing on rocking horses, etc. These requests wouldn't be unreasonable in modern times, but they would break down people's defenses in no time.
The result, of course, was no result.
But the little girl wouldn't give up; every time she picked up something, the group of people's bodies stiffened a little more.
In the end, even Ao Bai couldn't help but show sympathy.
How could this chosen one be so blind as to fall for such a troublesome and unlucky fellow?
It must be that the fox spirit had a way. After the initial confusion, Luo Chuan quickly came to his senses.
The fox spirit gracefully lifted her robe and squatted down directly in front of the little girl. "Little Pear Blossom, look what this is?"
Suddenly, Luo Chuan presented a handful of top-grade spirit stones, each the size of a dozen pigeon eggs, shimmering with light and exuding a rich spiritual energy, from his palm!
Most importantly, each one is pure and flawless, with different colors and radiating dazzling light.
The two furry heads were immediately attracted.
Ao Bai habitually leaned on Hua Li's shoulder, but his weight was too much, and he stumbled as she stepped on him.
Luo Chuan swiftly steadied the man, glancing sideways at Ao Bai with his heterochromatic eyes.
Knowing it was in the wrong, the Meow King stubbornly refused to admit it. If Luo Chuan hit it, it would definitely make things difficult for him in front of its host.
The Demon King merely snapped his fingers, and the next second, a figure as small as a cannonball rushed over.
The miniature Chaos Beast spread its six wings and, to Ao Bai's delighted surprise, bit its tail!
"Aww!!" The two furry creatures successfully got into a fight.
Without the annoying fat cat bothering her, the fox spirit's voice was lazy and seductive as she said, "Give all these spirit stones to Little Pear Blossom. Isn't that much more fun than your phone?"
Seeing the person nod, Luo Chuan continued to smile: "I have many more treasures. If you are interested, you may come back to the Holy Capital Demon Realm with me, and I will show them to you one by one."
Upon hearing this, the air in the room instantly grew even colder.
"Wow!!!"
As it turns out, although the Pear Blossom Girl has shrunk, her love of money hasn't diminished. She even knows how to collect spirit stones, which is quite terrifying!
"You want all of these for me?" Karin's eyes lit up. "Why?"
Luo Chuan smiled and patted her head. "Hmm... naturally, it's because Little Pear is the cutest little girl in the world. How about it? Don't I understand you best? Am I the best?"
"Heh." Before Huali could answer, Wen Jin suddenly chuckled. With a flick of his black robe, a large pile of spiritual treasures appeared, filling the area around Huali like a small mountain.
Inside were not only top-grade spirit stones, but also various priceless gold and jewels, completely overwhelming Luo Chuan's handful of spirit stones. "Huali, the entire Niro Chan Palace is yours. If you want to play, you should go back to Sunset City."
“Canglan Prefecture is rich in mines. If Huali likes spirit stones, she can come back to Canglan with me.” Shen Yu, a rich young master whose family owns mines, was not to be outdone.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Changliu, who was very perceptive, opened the Qiankun bag.
With a whoosh, another pile of spirit stones fell.
A murderous intent raged in Wen Jin's eyes.
Just thinking about that scene in the Dream Realm makes him want to skin Shen Yu alive and tear him apart.
As the powerful pressure of the Nascent Soul stage swept towards Shen Yu, the young general had already grasped the Lone Deer Sword in his hand.
Luo Chuan smiled, thinking that it would be best if one of them died, but if both sides were injured, he could take the opportunity to eliminate them all.
However, at this very moment...
Suddenly, a pair of eyes appeared from the pile of spirit stones. "Brother, what are you doing?"
Shen Yu and Wen Jin both froze at the same time.
With a "whoosh," the spirit stone was pushed out, creating a gap. "Didn't I tell you? Get along well and don't fight."
Wen Jin: "......"
Shen Yu: "......"
Little Pear slowly crawled out, glancing sideways. "If I find out, I'm not going to talk to you anymore."
One sentence had an immediate effect; the murderous intent vanished instantly.
Ao Bai, lying on the belly of the Chaos Beast, was in awe.
Seeing that the entire room was about to be submerged in spirit stones, the treasure in Xiaota's hands suddenly lost its appeal. He jumped off the chair and was about to go back into the tower to dig for spirit stones when his rival, Tang Wanwan, spoke up.
“Brother Ziyan, do you see how vulgar these people are? It’s only us Buddhist disciples who can remain untainted by the mud.”
Xiao Ta was displeased upon hearing this, "That must be because all Buddhist cultivators are poor! Besides, Luo Chuan is just letting Xiao Hua Li play with him, while Chen Yu and the Demon Lord are clearly showing off!"
Changliu immediately chimed in, “That’s not true. Everyone on the continent knows the strength of Canglan Prefecture. Why does the young master need to show off?”
Tuowu, his towering figure towering over the crowd, stepped forward: "Sunset City's wealth is inexhaustible, so we don't care about these things." He reached out and poked Xiwu, "Why don't you say something too?"
Xi Wu, with dead fish eyes, said, "Standing here on my day off has exhausted all my energy." He looked at the spirit stones scattered on the ground and sneered, "To be nice, that's a different story!"
Just as the leaders of several fan groups were arguing, Lian Zhuo gently gathered her fingertips together inside the wide monk's sleeve.
There was no earth-shattering sound, only a few soft and gentle rays of Buddha's light quietly descended.
Little Rosewood stared blankly at the beautiful beads around her neck. Each bead was polished smooth and round, and felt cool to the touch, giving off a magical sense of power.
The Buddhist disciple said gently, "This item nourishes the body and mind; rosewood can be worn close to the body."
Upon seeing this scene, Steward Ao had a sudden inspiration!
Originally, it was thought that the progress of lighting up the little stars would have to be delayed because the host had shrunk, but now it seems that it is a good thing!
With the four chosen ones gathered together, and the host keeping them in check, isn't this the perfect opportunity to light up the last star?
The wicked kitten chuckled; it needed to find a way to whisper sweet nothings in its husband's ear!
