With the big bear’s temper, he had never been urged by a group of humans with such low cultivation in his life. He immediately took out ten spirit stones and pressed his palm on the rag of the stall owner.
...“I don’t believe it. Your bottom line is clearly odd. Hurry up and bring me those fifty spirit stones!”
As soon as Da Xiong’s hand left the spirit stones, the stall owner’s long and narrow arm immediately reached over and held the ten spirit stones tightly in his arms. Then, he casually put away the small bowl and took out a large pile of stones in his hand. After shaking them for a while, he stuffed them back into the small bowl.
Da Xiong was dumbfounded as he watched the stall owner operate the bowl. In the end, when he opened the bowl, there were eight stones inside.
“Fellow Daoist, you’re wrong!” The stall owner smiled sinisterly. He looked at Da Xiong as if he was looking at a silly prey. Da Xiong finally realized that he had fallen into this person’s trap.
In a fit of anger, he stood up and pointed at the person’s nose, wanting to make a move.
However, when he thought about the purpose of the two of them coming here, he had to preserve his strength now. He could not let anyone discover him, but he could not act on his own.
“You’re cheating. We said that there were five stones in the bowl just now, but you put away the stones and put eight more stones in. You’re clearly lying!”
The vendor also said righteously,”What do you mean by lying? You put the spirit stones here, and I put the stones. If you guess correctly, the fifty spirit stones will be yours. If you guess wrong, then your spirit stones will be mine!”
“You’re talking nonsense. You were clearly lying to me just now. Hurry up and return the spirit stones, or don’t blame me for being rude!”
“Aiyo, you still want to be impolite?” The stall owner’s face was extremely arrogant.” Do you know what this place is? How can you be arrogant in this place? If you have the guts, then do it. Our market has a clear rule that no one is allowed to fight. Anyone who causes trouble here will die. I advise you to be honest!”
The stall owner laughed even more happily. Even Monkey, who was faintly observing the two people beside him, could not hide the smile on his face.
Da Xiong looked at a passerby and said,””You saw it, right? He cheated just now. His bowl clearly had odd numbers. He stuffed even numbers into it to cheat me of my spirit stones.”
The stall owner took the opportunity to say to everyone,”If anyone feels unconvinced, you can come and suppress them!””
When they heard that they were going to bet spirit stones, everyone present took a small step back. They looked at Da Xiong and Hou Zi warily, as if Da Xiong and Hou Zi were hired by the stall owner.
Just as Da Xiong was about to pursue the matter further, Monkey pulled him out. The two of them hurriedly left the crowd.
Li Yuanqing watched from afar. He didn’t find it funny when he saw these two fellows being fooled for no reason.
He followed the two of them and slowly chased after them. When they arrived at a quiet corner of the market, the two of them finally stopped.
“Why are you pulling me? ‘Let me go back and kill that bastard now. That ant-like human dared to lie to me? Do you know who I am? Any hair of this general can crush ten of his lives to death!”
Monkey glared at him unhappily and said,” You know he’s just an ant, so why are you still so calculative with him? It’s just ten spirit stones, and it’s nothing at all, yet you’re so angry. I think your temper is getting worse.””
“Is that about the spirit stones?” Da Xiong shouted anxiously,” It’s that bastard. He lied to me. No one can lie to me in this life. Those who lie to me will die without a doubt. No one can!”
After Da Xiong vented his anger, his mood seemed to have improved a lot. Monkey stood at the side and watched him shout for a while before saying,”Are you done?”
” I’ll remember this guy. After I take this place, I’ll extract the soul of this thing and refine it into a puppet. I’ll torture him a thousand times every day and let him live for five hundred years. He’ll be tormented in purgatory every day and never be reincarnated!”
Monkey shook his head helplessly. He originally thought that he was the one who had acted impulsively. He did not expect that the big bear would be treated as a toy and played with. He was so angry that he almost ruined the plan.
Monkey suddenly glanced at a small stall on the side and felt that something was amiss.
The stall wasn’t big. It was a very small place. In front of it were two people.
One of them was dressed in green clothes. Qingshan looked very ordinary. The other was dressed simply. These two people didn’t look special. Moreover, their cultivation was ordinary.
Monkey had clearly felt that there was something there, but no matter how carefully he looked at it now, these two fellows did not seem to have anything.
After carefully marking it for a while, Monkey finally gave up. Thinking about it, he seemed to have made a mistake. He couldn’t explain why he had that dangerous feeling just now.
“What are you doing? I don’t think there’s anything worth paying attention to in this market. Let’s go and capture their City Lord now. Don’t waste so much time with them.”
Monkey also agreed with this plan. They had already wasted enough time here. If they did not get down to business, they would have to delay for who knew how long.
“It’s nothing. I just felt that something was wrong just now.”
After the two of them finished their discussion, they left the market in a hurry. They had originally wanted to come here to understand the lives of these humans. In the end, they did not expect to be played by someone as soon as they arrived.
The two of them didn’t have much patience to deal with these fancy things. They just wanted to take down Sea City Base as soon as possible.
City Lord Manor.
“Is Young Master Li really back now? Why didn’t he come over?” Ye Qiluo was dressed in armor, pacing around anxiously.
The Man-eating Vine replied,” There are two very powerful demons there. They have already sneaked in. Master is thinking of getting rid of those two guys first. Moreover, they seem to be coming for you.””
“Will Young Master Li be alright? If those two demons were really that powerful, would Young Master Li know how to do it?”
“Sister, don’t worry. Since Master dared to let the two of them in, it means that he already has a plan in his heart. Nothing will happen. Those two people are already coming over here. 1 believe that they will arrive at the City Lord’s Estate soon. Master is also following behind the two of them.”
“Minglun!”
“I’m here.”
“Tell everyone to be on high alert. Don’t go out and don’t leak any information.”
“Understood!”
Captain Minglun hurriedly retreated. They had long been prepared for this. When Li Yuanqing returned, he had already secretly reminded the Man-eating Vines. The two of them had already communicated about this plan, so it was naturally not a problem now.
Outside the City Lord’s Estate, the merchant and attendant that Big Bear and Monkey had transformed into had already arrived beside the City Lord’s Estate. They were quietly waiting outside. The two of them sat in a teahouse and looked at the City Lord’s Estate opposite them.
“How should we enter later? It didn’t matter if he charged in from the front or from the side.”
Da Xiong looked at the structure of the City Lord’s Mansion. This place did not pose much pressure to them. The reason why they were guarding here was because they had not seen anyone come out of the City Lord’s Mansion for a long time. They were not sure if the City Lord was inside.
“There’s no hurry. When someone comes out later, let’s bring two people over first to figure it out..”
