The stingy man glanced at Chen Yan, who was about to be submerged in the swamp, with only his head and hands exposed. "Master, he looks quite pitiful. If he gave me five hundred high-grade spirit stones, I could save him. After all, I can't waste my energy in vain, right?"
After saying this, it shook its feathers a few times, fearing that Chen Yan would refuse to pay if he asked for a high price. "After all, every time I do hard work, I have to eat a lot of meat and steamed buns to make up for it."
Although Xiao Wu felt that the price it offered was already very, very affordable, it had even reached the level of disrupting the market.
After all, what it saved was not Chen Yan's life, which could still be resurrected, but the reputation of Chen Yan and the Shenyi Sect.
The fact that the direct descendant of the chief disciple of a sect was the first to voluntarily crush the jade slip just to escape from the quagmire was definitely one of the many highlights of this sect competition, and it might even become a topic of conversation in the world of cultivation.
What's more, Chen Yan is their competitor. If he were a money-grubber or a beast with a bit of cunning, they would raise the price a little and make a profit first, right?
But it is understandable. Even the stingy man himself doesn't know how many years he has been trapped in the ring. After so many years, his wisdom must have regressed along with his cultivation. Naturally, he can't be compared with the old fox who has been in the world for many years.
Forget it, let's just temporarily preserve its innocent heart of helping others without asking for anything in return. Besides, this was the choice made by the stingy guy himself, and it was him who saved the person.
Although they were in a master-servant relationship in principle, she, as the master, couldn't interfere too much in such trivial matters. After all, everyone was a thinking creature, and she was a very tolerant master after all.
Just think of it as spending some money to teach the stingy person a lesson.
Sure enough, Shen Yan hesitated for a second and then readily agreed, "Okay, after you rescue me, I will give you another 500 high-grade spirit stones."
Look, look, she said that Chen Yan was a cunning old fox who even cheated a cute chicken like the stingy chicken.
When the stingy man heard there was an extra reward, he was so happy that he was ready to fly over and pull him out. "Hehehe~ Then you are a really nice person~"
At this time, Leiyunbao hesitantly stepped over to stop it, "But, Mr. Stingy, I think this is a bit uneconomical."
Before Lei Yunbao could carefully analyze the pros and cons for him, the stingy man immediately changed his attitude.
"Actually, I also think it's not worth it. How about 8,888 high-grade spirit stones? It's just a good omen."
Hearing the stingy lion's big mouth, the Thunder Cloud Leopard couldn't close its mouth because it was too shocked. This was too much. It originally wanted to extort three thousand, but it didn't expect that the stingy lion would be so cruel.
"Mr. Stingy, is this possible?"
The stingy man shouted at Chen Yan in a bossy manner, "Hey, you so-and-so over there, I've changed my mind. I'm going to raise the price. Give me 8,888 high-grade spirit stones, and I'll rescue you."
I thought it was just a stupid chicken, damn, who would have thought that this ordinary chicken would do this? Shen Yan was caught off guard.
The most hateful thing was that his chin was about to touch the swamp. He shouted anxiously, "Were you kidding me just now? You're so cruel! Eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight!"
Stingy man: "Then write me an IOU first!"
The stingy man's words successfully angered Chen Yan. Now his hands could only be held straight up, so how could he write an IOU? This stingy rooster was really tactless.
"I don't have time to write an IOU right now, can I swear?"
He swore an oath on the spot, and the stingy man flew over and pulled him out.
Xiao Wu was so shocked by the stingy man's actions that he was speechless.
It was actually 3,888 high-grade spirit stones, which was more than the number she wanted to extort. Well, all the previous conclusions can be overturned. This stingy guy is just a veteran in the world, and he is also the kind of insidious chick who would take advantage of others' misfortune and raise the price.
It was so shocking that her mother opened the door for her, and she was so shocked that she went home.
Who would have thought that even a chicken would know the auspicious meaning of adding up eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight.
She knew that the stingy man was a fool!
After Chen Yan was rescued by the Iron Rooster, he didn't even use the cleaning technique, but first paid off the 8,888 high-grade spirit stones he owed the Iron Rooster.
He angrily pulled out a spirit stone bag and said, "Here are 8,888 high-grade spirit stones. Count them yourself and see if they are enough."
The stingy man jumped up and pecked at the bag of spirit stones with his beak. "Clang, clang, clang! You're such a nice person!"
After saying this, it put the bag on the ground and went into the bag to count the money.
Having been tricked, Chen Yan didn't want to fight back at all. He cast a cleansing spell on himself, and the mud stuck on his golden robe disappeared instantly.
After the stingy man was sure that no spirit stones were missing, he turned and left.
In the days that followed, he never wanted to see this man and two beasts again.
The stingy man flew to Xiao Wu with the bag of spirit stones in his mouth. "Clang! Master, you've been so good to me. I'm going to give you half of the spirit stones I earned."
"Good boy."
Xiao Wu patted the stingy man's head and said, "Then your master won't be polite to you~"
Lei Yunbao looked at the stingy rooster with envy, "Oh, Mr. Stingy Rooster, you are really amazing. I admire you~"
After collecting the spirit stones, Xiao Wu and the two beasts caught up with Chen Yan.
Chen Yan noticed that Xiao Wu was catching up with him, so he quickened his pace, and in the end, even using the Thousand Mile Talisman, he still couldn't get rid of her.
Xiao Wu followed him closely, holding a handkerchief. She blew her nose fiercely, "Yanzi, Yanzi, Yanzi, how can I live without you? Yanzi, don't leave me, wuwuwu~"
Shen Yan finally couldn't stand it anymore and stopped where he was, "Shut up!"
He looked at Xiao Wu and took a few steps back. "Don't follow me. I won't protect you."
Xiao Wu pretended to wipe away a tear, "Ah, I'm so sad when you say that. I feel like we've worked together before, and you were pretty happy back then. We're acquaintances after all, so we shouldn't be so estranged, right?"
It would have been fine if she didn't mention that incident. Once she did, Chen Yan was reminded of the fear he felt when he was dominated by the flying stick in the cave. Although the cooperation was quite pleasant later, it couldn't offset the fear he felt at the beginning.
"Oh, you still have the nerve to bring that up?" He held up an explosive talisman and said, "Go away, don't follow me, or I'll use it to blow you away."
She thought this harmless threat would have no effect on her, but she didn't expect Xiao Wu to actually take a few steps back. She pointed behind him and said, "Um, do you want to look behind you?"
Chen Yan put away the talisman and snorted coldly, "Do you think you don't know what evil plan you are up to? You just want to trick me into turning around and then take the opportunity to eliminate me. Do you think I will be fooled?"
"Idiot."
Xiao Wu rolled her eyes, turned over and climbed onto Lei Yunbao. After she sat firmly, Lei Yunbao took her and the stingy rooster and ran away.
The whole process did not exceed three seconds.
Seeing them running away without looking back, Chen Yan finally felt something was wrong. He quickly looked back and then ran in the direction Xiao Wu left.
