Zuan: "..."
"Am I such a despicable person in your eyes?"
"Yes!" Ji Dengtu nodded without hesitation. Others might not know, but this kid certainly did. The erotic stories he wrote made even someone as seasoned as me blush. I wonder how lewd he is. How could he let his innocent daughter be near him?
Even a single glance from him made her feel that her daughter was somehow unclean.
Jiang Luofu and Murong Qinghe, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but suppress their laughter. These days, probably only someone as indifferent as Ji Dengtu would dare to say such a thing to him.
Zuan was also frustrated: "Xiao Xi and I have always been good friends. Moreover, when I was in trouble in Mingyue City last time, she helped me. I haven't had a chance to repay her yet."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Just thinking about Ji Dengtu makes him angry. He feels like his head is about to explode just thinking about how that kid actually kissed Xiao Xi. "I never do business at a loss, but this one is an exception. I'll accept the loss, and I don't need you to repay me."
What a joke! Between men and women, you save me, I save you, you thank me, I thank you, and in the end, they all end up in bed together. It's been the same routine for thousands of years. I can't let him get close to Xiaoxi anymore.
Seeing him looking at him like a thief, Zu An was also helpless, but he didn't continue to provoke him on this issue. Instead, he asked, "By the way, I heard Shen Xuzi say before that you are the most knowledgeable about medicinal herbs in the world. There are some materials that he doesn't know that only you know."
Upon hearing this, Ji Dengtu was immediately pleased. He put his hands on his hips, leaned back strategically, and almost turned his nose to the sky: "Of course, not to brag, but there's nothing in this world that I don't know about medicinal herbs."
Seeing that he seemed to have regained his former confidence and demeanor in an instant, Jiang Luofu sighed inwardly. This was the same brilliant and talented second senior brother from back then. His sister's incident had been a huge blow to him.
"Have you ever heard of the Empty Cicada Leaf?" Zu An asked tentatively. If he didn't know it, he really wouldn't know where to find it. He would probably have to try his luck at Xiaoyao Tower.
“How could I not have heard of it? This leaf is as thin as a cicada’s wing. From a distance, it looks like a cicada perched on a branch,” Ji Dengtu said proudly. “It probably only grows in a deep valley somewhere in the Great Snow Mountain, which is why people don’t know about it.”
"The Great Snow Mountain?" Zu An was taken aback, thinking to himself, no wonder even Shen Xuzi didn't know about it.
You must know that the Great Snow Mountain is a forbidden zone for life. Back then, Yan Xuehen and I almost lost our lives in it.
Even now, Zaun still feels lingering fear when he thinks about being chased by that terrifying snow woman.
With his current cultivation level, he is no longer afraid of the Snow Maiden.
It's just unknown whether there are any other terrifying beings in the Great Snow Mountain. Even someone as powerful as Zhao Hao seemed to be very wary of the Great Snow Mountain and dared not venture deep into it.
Even if there is danger, he will probably have to make the trip for the materials for the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
But the situation in the capital is treacherous now, and it has only just calmed down thanks to his ruthless methods. Once I leave, who knows what trouble might arise again...
Seeing his troubled expression, Ji Dengtu laughed and said, "You're scared of the Great Snow Mountain, aren't you? But it's okay, I happen to have a few hollow cicada leaves. I found them by chance when I went deep into the Great Snow Mountain to collect herbs."
"Although the snow-capped mountains are a no-go zone for others, for me, it's as simple as going home."
He spoke smugly, waiting for Zuan's amazed and admiring gaze.
To everyone's surprise, the other party remained unmoved, as if they had heard something completely ordinary.
Jiang Luofu, standing to the side, sneered: "Oh, so you were half-dead when you came back that time, and it was your teacher who saved you. Afterwards, you cried and begged that you would never go to the Great Snow Mountain again, right?"
Ji Dengtu blushed, feeling quite embarrassed: "I went again...and again later."
His tone became less certain.
Zu An smiled slightly and came to his rescue, saying, "You're really amazing. I wonder if you could transfer the Empty Cicada Leaf to me? I'll pay you."
"It's not impossible to transfer it to you, but the Hollow Cicada Leaf is an extremely precious thing. It depends on what you offer in exchange." Ji Dengtu snorted. This kid said I was amazing, but he did it so insincerely. He's really despicable.
"I don't know what you want?" Zuan had a vague sense of unease.
"You know what I mean." Ji Dengtu winked at him, his eyes unusually eager, and his mustache made him look somewhat like a stalker.
Zuan: "..."
Back in Brightmoon City, this guy really ripped people off when it came to medical treatment. I thought he would ask for an exorbitant amount, but I never expected that he would only ask for this.
Although it's a bit shameful for him to write this given his current status, it seems much easier than doing anything else.
"Ahem, I'll give it to you later," Zuan mumbled.
"I want it now." Ji Dengtu was getting impatient. This kid's abrupt interruptions were driving him crazy. He really wanted to chop him up with a knife lately.
Left with no other option, Zuan could only say, "Then wait a bit."
After saying this, he went back into the house and closed all the doors and windows tightly.
Jiang Luofu looked at Ji Dengtu with some confusion: "What exactly are you talking about?"
Even Murong Qinghe and Chu Youzhao stared at him with wide eyes, wondering what kind of treasure could be exchanged for the precious Hollow Cicada Leaf they spoke of.
He could be unrestrained in front of others, but he dared not be presumptuous in front of his sister-in-law. He said vaguely, "It's nothing, this is a matter between men, girls shouldn't ask too many questions."
After a while, the door was opened, and Zu An came out and handed a small booklet to Ji Dengtu.
