So when the original owner first moved into this apartment, he cried every day and almost went blind.
He desperately wanted to run away.
However, the wizard king sent letters to the kings of other countries, ordering his capture and execution.
The hunt was everywhere, and he dared not go anywhere.
They could only hide in this terrifying, lawless area, barely clinging to life.
He persevered in his desire to return to the sea.
But unexpectedly, he eventually died in the Misty Forest.
After reminiscing, Si Jin retorted, "But I remember at the end of last month, I just gave you three hundred pearls for rent. Why are you asking for money again now?"
Landlord: "You child, you've been hiding all this time, you don't know anything about the outside world."
"Recently, the Wizard Kingdom offended the evil dragon king. The prince's wedding was ruined by the evil dragon king. The city center of the Wizard Kingdom is not peaceful, and many rich people are moving to the suburbs."
"My rent will naturally have to go up as well."
"You're really well-informed," Si Jin said with a smile. "Have you heard that the Dragon King came again today and blew up the Wizard Kingdom's palace?"
"Huh? Is that so?" The landlord quickly put his hands together in prayer, then opened his eyes and continued to deceive, "I always said that it was necessary to raise the rent. Look, that evil dragon is so wicked and terrifying. Living here is the safest place."
"A dragon?" Si Jin pointed to the man in black behind her. "You mean, this one?"
As he spoke, Lin Yuan raised his hand and greeted him politely.
The next moment, flames erupted from his palm, and he slammed it towards the landlord's counter where he kept his treasures and money.
A huge fire broke out.
The landlord's rosy face turned deathly pale in an instant.
"Ouch, don't burn it, don't burn it!" she wailed. "That thing is worth fifteen silver coins, that thing is worth six gold coins, that thing is worth... Ahhh!"
However, before he could finish speaking, he was slapped hard on the back, and it stung painfully.
The landlord quickly turned around.
Just then, Si Jin, without her noticing, took the iron whip that Si Jin used to use to beat people and lashed it across Si Jin's back.
Ignoring her ugly expression, he continued to lash her down with the whip.
Before long, his obese body could no longer support him and he collapsed to the ground.
"Ouch, Si Jin, when did you take my whip! You... Ahhh!"
Countless lashes fell, making it difficult for the landlord to breathe, leaving him gasping for air.
She couldn't believe that the iron whip she had kept in the counter would fly into Si Jin's hands on its own.
Even more unbelievable was that the terrifying dragon king was standing behind Si Jin, behaving like a docile dog.
"Si Jin, stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I was wrong, I don't want the rent anymore, I don't want it anymore!" The landlord kept crying, but she didn't get any pity from the boy.
His eyes crinkled into crescents, a cruel pleasure emanating from them, as he slapped the ground a few times.
Seemingly finding his hand tired, he directly added divine power, making the whip move on its own.
Her voice remained gentle and warm: "But landlady, I've inquired around, and on the market, one pearl can buy your entire apartment. The rent you're charging me three pearls a day is really too expensive."
"But I've already given away the pearls, and I'm too embarrassed to ask for them back, so this is the only way I can repay you."
"But don't worry, thirty lashes are worth a pearl. Just bear with it, it will pass quickly."
The landlord was disoriented and covered in blood.
Every pore was screaming in pain.
She vaguely realized that over the years, he had extorted at least ten thousand pearls from Sijin Bell.
One pearl is worth thirty lashes; she's going to die here!
Soon, if she didn't speak again, her life would quickly pass by!
Si Jing Bell, that stupid fish, isn't he usually sweating profusely and in excruciating pain just from walking around?
How come you're so amazing now?
Before the landlord could think, she cried out and begged for mercy, "Si Jin, I was wrong, I'll give you the money back, please stop hitting me, please stop!"
