Chapter 26 026 Full of Tricks
Jiang Yan was momentarily distracted, feeling as if the spicy strip was about to hit her in the face.
She instinctively took a step back.
Lin Yun: "!!!"
Shouldn't she have reached out and caught him?
He was just about to gather his spiritual power to stabilize himself when he felt his body lighten, and in an instant he landed in the palm of that old monster Feng Qingyu...
Feng Qingyu looked at him gloatingly and said, "Be careful, don't fall flat on your face."
Lin Yun squinted at him with her snake-like eyes, seemingly displeased with his meddling.
Feng Qingyu chuckled and casually threw him to the ground.
With a "smack," he showed no mercy whatsoever.
Lin Yun grimaced, feeling a sharp pain in his buttocks.
He glared at him: "Monster, you'd better pray you don't end up in my hands one day."
Feng Qingyu smiled dismissively: "I'm afraid there won't be such an opportunity. By the way, when are you going to repay the 16,000 spirit stones you owe me?"
Lin Yun frowned: "Do you think I'm short of your spirit stones?"
Although he bet eight thousand spirit stones that day, betting that Jiang Yan could comprehend a level three spirit beast, it was written that if the winner was Feng Qingyu, then everyone's bet would double.
So in the end, he lost 16,000, Shen Yuchen lost 12,000, and Xiaobai and Lingyue each lost 8,000.
Although Dongfang Chen thought their behavior was too boring at the time, he still bet 10,000 spirit stones in the end, so he now owes the old demon a total of 20,000 spirit stones.
Everyone thought this old monster was bound to lose, but little did they know that man proposes, God disposes!
Of course, if this old demon loses, he will give each of them 16,000 spirit stones, but unfortunately... there are no ifs.
Feng Qingyu sighed softly and deliberately said, "That's hard to say. You're no longer a disciple of Medicine King Valley; you're just a little snake now."
Lin Yun was instantly furious and grimaced. As the two were talking, Jiang Yan walked over carrying several newly purchased magical artifacts.
She asked curiously, "What were you talking about just now?"
Lin Yun's mind raced, and he quickly knelt down at her feet: "We made a bet earlier!"
"Um?"
Lin Yun briefly explained the whole story to Jiang, then looked at Feng Qingyu and added fuel to the fire, saying, "It was all his idea, we were all forced! An agreement signed under such unfair and voluntary circumstances is completely invalid, isn't it?"
Jiang Yan was completely absorbed in her own thoughts. They actually gambled so much. She should have written more when she signed the contract termination agreement with them!
It was a mistake.
Feng Qingyu looked calmly at the little green snake that was trying to sow discord and renege on its promise.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, leaned close to Jiang Yan's ear and whispered, "I'll share half of the spirit stones I get with you."
Jiang Yan's eyes lit up instantly—that was a huge sum of money! She was rich!
Although Lin Yun didn't hear what the old demon said, he had already guessed it from the shape of his mouth.
He opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Jiang Yan said in a serious tone, "There was no concealment or fraud in this matter, so the agreement is naturally valid. Pay back the money as soon as possible!"
Jiang Yan took the betting agreement from Gongsun Jin's hand. "I'll go and urge those guys again!"
Lin Yun: "..."
Feng Qingyu looked at the green snake on the ground, speechless with anger, and raised an eyebrow triumphantly: "It's too young and inexperienced. It needs to cultivate more."
Lin Yun gritted his teeth, his cunning nature perfectly exploiting the woman's greed!
This time, they've really shot themselves in the foot...
Feng Qingyu turned around and chased after Jiang Yan, who turned her head to look at Mosaic beside her and said excitedly, "Little Immortal Lord, remember to call me next time there's something like this!"
Feng Qingyu nodded: "Okay."
Lin Yun, crawling behind him, gritted his teeth in hatred. As expected, he was a cunning old monster!
Jiang Yan took the agreement to collect the debt. Ling Yue and Xiao Bai said they would repay the money once they transformed into human form. Dongfang Chen said he would repay the money once he returned to the Demon Palace.
As for Shen Yuchen, he said he would return to Xuanjian Sect.
Jiang Yan looked at the few blobs of mosaic and nodded with satisfaction: "They are all good children. We should organize more activities like this in the future!"
Lingyue and Xiaobai exchanged a glance, neither daring to speak.
If they lose a few more times, they'll be bankrupt...
Dongfang Chen shook his head helplessly. She really wanted to make money from anything, but as the dignified Demon Lord, he naturally didn't lack these spirit stones.
Lunch was eaten at the market. Shen Yuchen and Lin Yun didn't eat there this time, mainly because they thought the food at the market wasn't as delicious as Jiang Yan's cooking.
Lingyue and Xiaobai didn't eat much either; their appetites have really become too picky.
Feng Qingyu was the same as before, but the little gluttonous beast always had a good appetite, no matter whether the food was delicious or not.
This is already the fifth serving of noodles Jiang Yan has ordered for it...
It devoured the food in a flash, then stared pitifully at Jiang Yan with its fox-like eyes, chirping incessantly.
Jiang Yan: "..."
Is this a spirit pet?
This is practically the gluttonous ancestor she's raising! At this rate, who can afford to support her?
I wonder if they'll accept returns in Wushan...
Jiang Yan frowned and pulled out a bunch of fruits from her treasure bag: "Eat these!"
The fox sniffed the air and quickly finished the fruit in front of it.
Before it could chirp any more, Jiang Yan picked up the 'fox' from the table and said, "Let's keep going!"
She realized that the fox in her arms had indeed eaten a lot, as it seemed to have gotten a little heavier.
Later, along the way, Jiang Yan kept explaining to the 'little fox' in her arms the advantages of not overeating.
The little fox nestled in her arms, eyes closed, sleeping soundly, purring contentedly.
Jiang Yan glanced down and realized that she had been talking to a brick wall.
Forget it, how could a mere beast understand her words?
Jiang Yan looked at the fluffy creature in her arms and muttered to herself, "I don't know how Wushan takes care of it. It always seems like it's never full."
Feng Qingyu, standing beside her, said softly, "It has an iron stomach and can eat anything."
Jiang Yan didn't quite understand: "What do you mean?"
Feng Qingyu patiently explained, "It can swallow everything in the world whole. Moreover, it was raised on various magical artifacts in Wushan, so ordinary food is not even enough to satisfy its hunger. Getting it... is your good fortune."
"..."
Jiang Yan looked at the gluttonous 'little fox' in her arms with a look of horror. This overwhelming wealth was truly unexpected.
She asked softly, "What will happen if I return it to Elder Wushan now?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the little fox in her arms chirped pitifully and instinctively moved closer to Jiang Yan, its tail hooking around her.
Feng Qingyu chuckled and shook her head: "Currently, there is no precedent in Wushan for recalling released spirit pets. Spirit pets abandoned by their owners are generally released back into the wild as stray beasts."
"..."
Jiang Yan held the fox in her arms and sighed helplessly.
Well, she brought it home herself after all, so I'll just have to make do with it...
After learning about the little fox's attributes, Jiang Yan prepared a lot of food for the next two days, every time it was mealtime.
When walking along the road, I would occasionally pick some wild fruits to feed it.
Finally, the group crossed the last valley and arrived at the entrance of the Xuanjian Sect.
The sheer cliff rises abruptly from the ground, resembling an ancient, colossal sword. It possesses an omnipresent, subtle sharpness that inspires awe.
