Chapter 569 Added IOU
It was as if he had turned into a ball, and Wu Dongxiao was bounced up and down, left and right, in all directions in the air... basically, he was bounced around until his face turned green.
But Wu Dongxiao knew very well that his uncle was also angry with him and wouldn't be happy unless he beat him up—so what could he do? He could only let his uncle beat him as much as he wanted until he calmed down.
Wu Dongxiao became even more obedient, and did not resist at all.
Anyway, it's no use for him to resist; he's no match for him at all!
Resistance will only result in being beaten even more!
but……
Wu Dongxiao grinned.
My uncle's beating skills have improved again. Now he beats people until they're in pain all over, but they don't get hurt at all.
There wasn't even a scratch!
There wasn't even a bruise!
·
In front of the stone fortress.
Xuan Bing watched as his junior brother was grabbed and slapped away by his uncle, and he strained his eyes to search for the trail.
Ah, found it.
After finding it, Xuan Bing silently withdrew his gaze.
He sorted out his thoughts.
I should tell my two junior brothers, Zhong and Wu, about the specifics of what happened earlier.
·
On the deck of the shuttle-shaped warship, Zhong Cai leaned on the railing, resting her chin on her hand, quietly admiring the view.
You little rascal, you've been fooled so many times and you still get scammed. Either you're careless, or you did it on purpose.
The former is really annoying, and so is the latter.
Just beat them up!
·
About half an hour later, Wu Dongxiao's face was twitching from the pain. Thinking that it was about time to beg for mercy, he actually started to shout, "Uncle Zhong! I know I was wrong! I won't be careless next time! Please let me off the hook! Uncle Zhong, please persuade my uncle to stop! It hurts his hand if you keep hitting him!"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Cai was overjoyed and laughed so hard he almost fell over.
"Hahaha! Your hand hurts, huh! Your uncle's hand never even touched you! It was all a hit from a distance!"
Wu Dongxiao's "wailing" grew louder.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I'll never do it again—"
Zhong Cai didn't believe even a single punctuation mark.
However, the fight has indeed come to an end.
So Zhong Cai put her hand to her lips, making a megaphone shape, and shouted, "Old Wu! Give him another kick and come back!"
Wu Shaogan smiled in mid-air, decisively kicking Wu Dongxiao in the butt, sending him flying to Xuan Bing's side. Then, in a flash, he returned to Zhong Cai's side and hugged his waist.
At the same time, Wu Dongxiao, who could have stood firm, staggered several steps, putting on a very disheveled appearance in an attempt to gain some sympathy from his two uncles... When he turned around, he found that his two uncles had already looked at each other.
At this moment, Wu Dongxiao felt a sense of relief.
There's no need to pretend anymore; the two uncles are too lazy to pay him any attention.
Xuan Bing patted Wu Dongxiao on the head.
Wu Dongxiao chuckled and straightened his back.
The two brothers waited quietly.
Once that couple is done being all lovey-dovey, they'll remember them.
·
Indeed, this is true. Although Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan have been married for many years, their feelings for each other have only grown stronger over time and have never cooled.
So, the two of them stared at each other for a while, both with smiles on their faces... and then they remembered that they had come to rescue someone, and they also remembered their nephew.
Zhong Cai snapped out of her daze, looked at the flying boat that had crashed to the ground with the passing of the middle-aged man, and tugged at Wu Shaogan's sleeve.
Wu Shaogan waved towards the flying boat.
An invisible energy was transmitted, which attracted the flying boat.
The flying boat transformed into a beam of light and landed in his palm.
Zhong Cai glanced at the flying boat and said with some disdain, "The materials are alright, but the craftsmanship of the person who made it is not very good."
Although Zhong Cai didn't understand weapon crafting, alchemists were still skilled craftsmen with strong appraisal abilities in this area. The item he had was indeed of very high quality, but that was all thanks to the good materials; the crafting technique itself was really just average.
Wu Shaogan nodded: "It's not really feasible."
Zhong Cai sighed, "We don't need this thing, so let that silly boy play with it."
Wu Shaogan nodded again, indicating that he had no objection.
As the two were talking, the shuttle-shaped warship had already disappeared.
Wu Shaogan put his arm around Zhong Cai's waist and landed in front of the stone fortress with him.
While still in that position, Zhong Cai took the flying boat from Wu Shaogan's hand, tossed it to Wu Dongxiao, and said, "Here, 100,000 mid-grade Xuan stones, do you want it?"
Wu Dongxiao looked at the flying boat and immediately recognized it as a top-grade level eight flying artifact! Its value was at least over 100,000 high-grade mystic stones. The price his Uncle Zhong was offering was practically a steal.
At that moment, Wu Dongxiao very naturally said, "Yes! I'll write an IOU."
Moreover, his movements were very smooth, and he quickly wrote the IOU.
Zhong Cai held the IOU and put it into her mustard seed ring.
The transaction is complete.
·
Wu Dongxiao is so indebted that he has no worries.
Over the years, he had lost count of how many things he had "bought" from his two uncles, and to pay off his debts, he had to frequently go out to gain experience. However, he was incredibly unlucky, and during his experiences, he would always encounter danger and ruin the treasures he had obtained from his uncles... and so the cycle continued.
I don't know how many IOUs I signed, but I've never been able to pay them off completely—even if I do manage to pay off the debts occasionally, I have to sign new ones soon after, and it goes on and on endlessly.
But if he doesn't "buy" many treasures and leaves empty-handed... that would be very troublesome.
He was still just as unlucky, but without the resources to help mitigate his misfortune, he had no choice but to tough it out. He could escape death, but each time he was severely injured, requiring a huge sum of money for treatment—more Xuan Stones than he'd spent on IOUs—and the process was far more troublesome, causing him even more suffering…
Later he became numb.
Wu Dongxiao thought that he was probably destined to spend his life with IOUs.
·
Zhong Cai leaned against Wu Shaogan and casually said, "So, what happened this time?"
Wu Dongxiao glanced at his senior brother.
Xuan Bing nodded, indicating that he would provide him with more details.
Wu Dongxiao honestly replied, "When my senior brother and I were traveling, we used the aliases of two brothers from the Lin family. Once, we unexpectedly encountered that guy from before in the mountains... I don't know who he is. He called himself Dong Xing."
“Dong Xing was being chased by a wild beast at the time. My senior brother and I rescued him, and he expressed his gratitude and wanted to travel with us. Because he seemed quite honest and simple, my senior brother and I agreed. We traveled together for a while, and his behavior remained normal. We also seemed to have developed a deep friendship. We didn’t find anything wrong with him.”
"later……"
·
Later, Wu Dongxiao's "protagonist" had a stroke of luck and accidentally stepped on some kind of teleportation array, arriving in this desert.
They had all guessed it was a stroke of luck, and split up to search in several directions. But as expected, the "Dong Xing" disguised as a Spirit Transformation early stage cultivator couldn't find him even after using all his Nirvana Realm detection methods. Then, Wu Dongxiao accidentally stepped into empty air and actually awakened the stone fortress!
Wu Dongxiao didn't recognize what kind of opportunity it was, but Dong Xing did, and immediately attacked Wu Dongxiao.
However, Wu Dongxiao's defensive abilities were at the eighth level. When Dong Xing struck, the defense was automatically triggered, and Wu Dongxiao was injured. But he reacted very quickly and grabbed his senior brother. It is worth mentioning that Xuan Bing skillfully searched for Wu Dongxiao's whereabouts the moment he was attacked and took the initiative to run towards him.
And so, Wu Dongxiao, pulling Xuan Bing along, somehow managed to find an opening in Dong Xing's next attack range, and led Xuan Bing straight into the stone fortress, successfully activating the protective mechanisms.
That was just right, keeping Dong Xing out.
As a result, Dong Xing kept attacking the protective shield, which also triggered the "villain dies from talking too much" mechanism, and he actually revealed all the information he knew about the stone fortress.
The stone fortress that even those at the peak of Nirvana covet so much must be extremely precious, as it contains a complete set of Heavenly Inheritance!
Dong Xing wanted to draw upon certain experiences from this inheritance to gain sufficient insights, which would ultimately become his resources, propelling him towards the Heavenly Realm.
In the end, Dong Xing failed and died at the hands of Wu Shaogan, who had been summoned by Wu Dongxiao.
·
At this point, Wu Dongxiao couldn't help but look towards where Dong Xing's body was.
Upon seeing this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Because among the pile of ashes that had fallen after being cremated, there were several puppets rummaging through something.
—Yes, these are definitely puppets released by his Uncle Zhong, trying to take stock of "Dong Xing's" tools so that his property can be taken stock and confiscated.
It seems we've finally found it.
The puppets all went back in unison and handed over the mustard seed-sized object.
Zhong Cai held the mustard seed rings and bracelets in her hands, swept them over with her soul, and revealed a satisfied expression.
Wu Dongxiao understood; Dong Xing was very wealthy.
This is not surprising. Dong Xing has been a "good friend" of his for so long, even though he has been in the Spirit Transformation form for so long. Who knows how many similar things he has done in the past, how many "friends" he has plundered, and how many times he has cheated on them.
If you accumulate the resources as much as possible, it will definitely not be a small amount.
Now, it's all benefiting his two uncles.
Wu Dongxiao felt a little envious when he thought about how poor he always was.
But it's just envy.
·
Wu Dongxiao brought his thoughts back and continued, "Uncles, I'm planning to go inside and take a look. Would you be interested in joining me?"
Zhong Cai replied without hesitation, "No!"
Wu Dongxiao said, "Then let's stick to the old rules. After I get my hands on the inheritance, I'll make a copy for both of you uncles."
Zhong Cai waved his hand casually: "Go in by yourself. Old Wu and I are just strolling around here for a while. Unless we run into any trouble that could cost us our lives, don't bother us."
Wu Dongxiao: "...I would never bother you for no reason."
Then, he pulled his senior brother along and turned to head into the interior of the stone fortress.
Zhong Cai then grabbed her husband's hand and said excitedly, "Let's go! Let's go explore!"
Wu Shaogan looked at Zhong Cai with gentle eyes and said in a gentle voice, "Okay."
