Seeing Xiao Li go to pick grapes, the big man also calmed down. He pulled out a toothpick from somewhere, leaned against the shed door, and hummed a little tune while picking his teeth. Wang Yao sat there, feeling his spiritual energy rapidly increasing, reaching 100 in no time.
Seeing that Xiao Li hadn't returned from picking grapes yet, and that the spiritual energy in the shed was still abundant, he simply continued absorbing it until Xiao Li carried half a basket of grapes into the shed, at which point he stood up, still feeling unsatisfied.
"Pick a little longer, Mr. Wang hasn't rested yet. If you want to pick my sweetest ones, I'll go home and bring him a recliner so he can take a nap comfortably."
The burly man smiled and tried to sell to Xiao Li. Xiao Li noticed that Wang Yao only stood up after he entered the room, and fearing that he hadn't rested well, he looked at Wang Yao with suspicion.
"It's okay, I've rested well!" Wang Yao smiled and nodded to Xiao Li.
After hearing Wang Yao's words, the big man stopped arguing, weighed the grapes, and collected the money. Xiao Li, carrying grapes in one hand, tried to help Wang Yao with the other, but Wang Yao had already returned to normal. He waved to Xiao Li and then strode out of the plastic greenhouse towards Fugui Wangjue.
His spiritual power level was already level 2, making him even more agile than the average person. He watched as Wang Yao seemed to have transformed into a completely different person in a short time. Xiao Li followed behind, glancing at the plastic greenhouse and then back at the lively Wang Yao, feeling utterly shocked.
Could it be that these plastic greenhouses really have the effect of curing diseases and strengthening the body?
Such a magical place? If I had a sick person at home, I wonder if sitting here would be helpful? Carrying grapes, Xiao Li looked at Wang Yao's back and couldn't help but feel that Wang Yao was quite mysterious. How did he know that this plastic greenhouse could cure diseases?
"Um... how exactly do you know that this plastic greenhouse can cure diseases?" Xiao Li got into the car, put his hand on the steering wheel, and couldn't help but ask Wang Yao.
"Oh, there's a lot of spiritual energy here. My problem is that I consume too much spiritual energy, but I'll be fine after replenishing it a little." Wang Yao didn't pay much attention to Xiao Li's question and answered casually.
Wang Yao said this unintentionally, but to Xiao Li, it was like a thunderclap. What was spiritual power? Xiao Li spent every day with Wei Dafa and had seen countless masters. One thing all these masters had in common was that they liked to talk about spiritual power.
But Xiao Li had only heard the master talk about spiritual power. Apart from seeing Wang Yao today, he had never actually seen spiritual power in action before.
Could it be that this Mr. Wang is also a master? Or a master with considerable skill? After all, he can not only detect spiritual energy, but also use it; otherwise, how could he consume so much energy?
"Um... let's eat grapes, let's eat grapes..."
With a thought running through his mind, Xiao Li hurriedly took out the "similar egg" he had bought and handed it to Wang Yao, wondering how to get closer to Wang Yao.
Having heard many mysterious tales about the master, he didn't have any other thoughts. He simply wanted to befriend Wang Yao so that he could help him in the future if needed. After all, such things are hard to explain and seem useless, but when they are useful, they can be terrifying.
"Thank you, but I don't want these. You can keep them for yourself." Wang Yao quickly said politely to Xiao Li. He had seen everything clearly inside the plastic greenhouse, but he didn't have any money in his pocket. Otherwise, he should have paid for the grapes. He felt too embarrassed to eat Xiao Li's grapes.
Just as Xiao Li was about to get into a scuffle with Wang Yao, a phone call came in. After listening to a few words, his face immediately turned ugly. While driving, he placed the grapes on the armrest of the seat.
"...I have no money. Your mother wants 1 million yuan. She's selling her daughter! I only make a little over 4,000 yuan a month. You do the math and see how long it will take to save up that much..." Xiao Li only got halfway through his sentence before the other end hung up. His face darkened, and he drove off in silence.
"What happened?" Wang Yao had a good impression of Xiao Li. After listening to Xiao Li's rambling words on the phone, he roughly guessed the reason. Since this was within his area of expertise, he took the initiative to ask.
"Sigh, it's nothing..." Xiao Li responded, and drove off silently for a while, but finally couldn't help but open up and tell Wang Yao all about his troubles.
“We don’t have this custom in Huadu anymore, but my girlfriend comes from the mountainous area in the south, where it’s still customary to ask for a bride price when getting married. To be honest, according to the old ways, it’s not unreasonable for a man to ask for a bride price after raising his daughter to this age and giving her to you, but…”
"My girlfriend's family heard from somewhere that I always hang out with a big boss, so they must be rich. They're asking for a million-dollar dowry. The boss is rich, but I'm just a lowly driver. What money do I have? A million dollars would kill me!"
“My girlfriend doesn’t understand me either, she’s always pressuring me. With my temper, what if I just quit and don’t marry her? But… we’ve been together for two or three years, wouldn’t it be petty of me to turn on her like this? But if I’m to be a good person, where will the money come from? Isn’t that forcing me to commit a crime?”
"I don't know what's wrong with women these days? Marrying someone is like they've suffered a great loss. If you feel like you're being taken advantage of, why don't you just not marry? But she insists on marrying, and I can't refuse her. If I don't marry her, I'm accused of toying with women, of being a total scumbag..."
"I'd be willing to marry her, but you should ask for less money! But that won't do, because she'll suffer a huge loss in her marriage, and I have to bleed to make up for it. But I need to have the money to bleed! Even if I bleed myself dry, I still can't scrape together a million...!"
Once Xiao Li started talking, he began to ramble on and on, perhaps because he had been holding it in for a long time, and once he started talking, he just couldn't stop.
