Luo Xi said, "The fire is raging all over here, and the town isn't far away. How come Qinglong didn't know to bring people over to help?"
It turns out that they had already been tricked by this charlatan.
Even so, Luo Xi was not afraid at all, and even asked Jiu Xian with a smile.
"Nine Strings, how about it? One to fifty, are you confident?"
"I have never even known how to write the word 'nothing'." Jiu Xian's eyes were filled with a frenzied fighting spirit, and even his tone of voice carried a hint of excitement.
He tightened his grip on the iron sword he had casually picked up, preparing to rush out.
"Wait, what's the rush?" Luo Xi grabbed him.
"Fighting is too disruptive to harmony. After all, the Divine Lord has given us so many good things. It would be impolite of us not to reciprocate."
"You agree, right, Lord God?" She winked at Yang Erlang.
Yang Erlang almost bit his teeth to pieces.
Is that considered a gift? Did he agree to it?
"How does Lady Luo plan to reciprocate?" Yang Erlang asked sarcastically.
Their belongings were all taken away by the bearded man long ago, and now they're just sitting in his temporary room. Why would he give them away?
Ridiculous! Are you going to pick up pebbles from the ground and give them away?
The sword that Luo Xi used to cut through the wall was instantly stored in her spatial storage the moment it broke through the wall, and Yang Erlang didn't even see it.
Just as Yang Erlang was thinking of throwing pebbles, Luo Xi opposite him unexpectedly said, "I think the pebbles on the ground are quite nice, so I'll give you a few!"
She actually squatted down and carefully selected the pebbles on the ground.
"Hmm, this one is too thin, no good, no good. This one? No, no good, it doesn't feel round enough..."
Yang Erlang: "..."
"Hahaha!!"
The group of experts around them burst into laughter.
"Lady Thief, pick carefully! We won't take anything that's not pretty."
"That's right. Maybe if you give us a beautiful stone, our God will be in a good mood and spare your life."
"Actually, I think you should offer yourself to the God and become his bed warmer. That would be more effective than the pebbles on the ground, hahaha!!"
...
They went back and forth, and the more they talked, the more insulting it became.
Yang Erlang didn't stop them, just stood there calmly, watching his men humiliate Luo Xi. His long-suppressed mood finally improved a lot.
After a long while, he pretended to raise his hand to stop them: "Alright, Lady Luo is a remarkable woman after all. Be polite. Perhaps the stones she picked up are rather... special."
"The Divine Lord has excellent judgment." At this moment, Luo Xi stood up, holding a handful of pebbles.
She still had a smile on her face, showing no sign of anger, but if you looked closely, you would find that her smile didn't reach her eyes, and there was even a chilling coldness in them.
“Here, Jiuxian, here are a few for you. Let’s give them to the God Lord together.” Luo Xi grabbed a few and handed them to Jiuxian.
"Let him try and see how special the stone I picked up is."
Yang Erlang's lips twitched violently: This woman... actually took it seriously?
How ridiculous!
Well, this is their last time together anyway, so he might as well be magnanimous and just treat it as a joke.
"I'll wait and see," he said nonchalantly.
Jiuxian picked up the stone in his hand and looked at it; his expression turned strange.
Isn't this the poison gas bomb that Luo Xi gave to Wei Qing when they first met, the one she wanted to use against him?
He hesitated. The place was spacious and windy, so poisoning was not a good idea.
But seeing Luo Xi's serious expression, she didn't ask anything, and only nodded slightly to her.
Luo Xi smiled, her eyes sparkling like a galaxy of stars scattered across the ground, shining brightly.
"Nine strings—"
She shouted and quickly hurled the incendiary bomb in her hand heavily at the rocks beneath Yang Erlang and his men.
Following Luo Xi's example, Jiu Xian accurately threw the incendiary bombs to other places that didn't have them yet. After throwing them, he cleverly followed Luo Xi and flew to a higher place.
Yang Erlang scoffed, "Even when you throw a stone at someone, you miss. You hit the ground instead of the person."
What a load of rubbish about the "God of Thieves"! What a load of rubbish about "Dream of the Red Chamber"!
The others laughed out loud, their expressions full of contempt.
However, the next moment...
"Snap, whoosh—"
The small stone shattered upon landing, scattering into clusters of eerie blue-green flames that instantly engulfed the group of people whose smiles hadn't yet faded.
Yang Erlang's expression changed drastically: "You didn't throw a stone!"
He rolled over in an attempt to extinguish the flames, but this was no ordinary fire; the more he rolled, the more fiercely it burned.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Erlang was engulfed by the eerie blue flames and burned to ashes in no time. Only his mournful screams echoed through the mountains, each one a pitiful and resentful cry.
This bizarre and cruel scene made even the most notorious assassin in the world, Jiu Xian, whose life revolved around killing, feel a chill run down his spine.
"You tried to burn me with it last time?" he asked, holding a grudge.
Rosie raised an eyebrow: "Yes, what's the problem?"
“We are friends,” Jiu Xian emphasized.
“Not before.” Loshi looked at him frankly: “In my eyes, you were a bastard who wanted to kill me back then.”
Nine Strings: "..."
"You were the one who impersonated me first!"
"So..." Rose shrugged, "we're even, don't you think?"
Jiuxian thought about it seriously for a while: "Okay, but give me a few."
Luo Xi rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky, but she still grabbed a few from her spatial storage and handed them back: "Save some, I don't have many left."
This thing was invented by a post-apocalyptic mad scientist. She had no idea how to make it, and the materials used should be unique to the post-apocalyptic world, something that couldn't be made here.
