Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Make a Deal

Translator: 549690339

Jiang Xiaobai was utterly stunned by the situation.

What the hell are you playing at?

I was all ready to go, and you show me this?

Wasn’t the plan to ambush and obstruct Xiao Yuwei’s opportunity? Why the heck did you just run off?

“Damn, is he messing with me?” mumbled Jiang Xiaobai.

At the same time, Xiao Yuwei, unopposed by anyone, had disappeared into the blue light, successfully entering secret area number one.

The crowd around sighed, looking somewhat disdainful.

On the other hand, seeing what Xiao Yuwei held, the descendants of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty turned an ugly shade of green.

“I didn’t expect Seventeenth Sister to be so capable of managing to bring that Diamond Bracelet from Father.”

Xiao Ruyu gritted her teeth, “With that Diamond Bracelet, I’m afraid no one can stop her.”

Not far away, Xiao Wuwei was also gritting his teeth, clenching his fists, and his face was full of fury.

With the Diamond Bracelet, Xiao Yuwei was practically invincible. The Diamond Bracelet was a semi-divine artifact and was considered highly valuable within the Thousand Yuan Dynasty.

With her power at the peak of the Transcendence late stage, she could even overpower someone in the Divided Spirit Middle Stage.

“Indeed, you’re the one with the most tricks up your sleeve after all. I really underestimated you.”

Xiao Wuwei snorted inwardly, but could do nothing about it.

This incident ended rather quickly. Two secret areas had been occupied, but the fights at the entrances of the remaining three areas were getting even more intense instead of calming down.

From time to time, one could hear someone’s scream, and they were then besieged and crushed by the crowd.

In the pursuit of fortune, everyone is equal. Everyone wants to have a go, even if it means risking their lives.

Jiang Xiaobai did not mind this, continued to munch on his melon and watched the drama unfold.

He seemed to be detached from everything, which was quite surprising.

“Boss, do you think Xiao Yuwei will pass the first secret area?” AnRan asked, munching on a piece of melon.

“I don’t know. I never went in there. I have no idea what kind of test is inside.”

Jiang Xiaobai casually tossed the melon peel to the side, wiped his hands, and looked towards Xiao Wuwei.

Xiao Wuwei still didn’t make a move and just stood there quietly. To this point, no one had entered the fifth secret area, and the situation was still at a stalemate.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly saw Gong Shuier break through the crowd and rush into the third secret area.

She succeeded because the disciples from the Purple Garden Mountain formed a human wall that was hard to break through.

“Aren’t you going to check out the secret areas?”

Suddenly, Zhuang Huanling’s voice sounded beside Jiang Xiaobai.

Zhuang Huanling slowly approached him, the eyes under the veil full of playful light, “Or do you have other plans in mind?”

“Wow, you guessed it. You really are the little bug in my stomach.” Jiang Xiaobai chuckled.

Zhuang Huanling’s expression instantly changed and she stared at him coldly.

“Listen Hong Shixian, the issue between us isn’t over yet. Don’t let me catch an opportunity, or you’ll suffer.”

“So, are you saying you want me to stop you from entering the secret area?” Jiang Xiaobai chuckled.

With just a single sentence, he managed to infuriate Zhuang Huanling.

She knew that Jiang Xiaobai was cunning and full of tricks. If she really provoked him, she would indeed be in for some trouble.

For a moment, Zhuang Huanling wished she could slap herself in the face.

That’s what you get for showing off!

Actually, Zhuang Huanling couldn’t understand why she was fixated on Jiang Xiaobai. There was a strong feeling of discomfort in her heart.

Suppressing the anger in her heart, Zhuang Huanling finally started talking business.

“How about we make a deal?”

“What deal?”

“The person who said they were selling Frenzy Demon Stones… That was you, right?”

When Zhuang Huanling said this, she felt incredibly stifled. If she wanted to enter the eighth secret area, she had no choice but to find Jiang Xiaobai.

Two hundred Frenzy Demon Stones was no small sum. Even if they added up all the Frenzy Demon Stones at Jade Top Mountain, it wouldn’t be enough.

“Turns out you’re my little bug. How did you find out again?”

Zhuang Huanling gritted her teeth, “Hong Shixian, I’m warning you. Don’t make me sick with your talk. Do you believe I’ll blow my cover right now and make life difficult for you?”

“I’m sure everyone here would love to give you a warm welcome. I’ll even leak the news that you have a lot of Frenzy Demon Stones.”

“Tell me, what will happen to you then?”

Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes, walked straight up to her, and leaned in close to the veil covering Zhuang Huanling’s face.

“You… what are you trying to do?” Zhuang Huanling stepped back a few steps.

It wasn’t just because Jiang Xiaobai’s actions were excessively bold. More importantly, she knew Jiang Xiaobai had a bizarre ability that could cause someone to become unbearably sick for no reason.

She certainly didn’t want to be humiliated like that under these circumstances.

“Girl, do you think there’s nothing I can do to you?” Jiang Xiaobai sneered.

“As long as you agree, you can rest assured. I won’t work against you in the Mad Demon Secret Land. I could even help you a few times.”

Zhuang Huanling said slowly: “I won’t take those Frenzy Demon Stones for free. You were able to rescue someone from the Mad Dog’s Nest before, and you definitely have means to get those Frenzy Demon Stones.”

“Oh, so you know I was the one who saved you.”

“I even gave you a life-saving fee.”

“The life of a saint from the Jade Top Mountain, worth nothing more than millions of top-grade spirit stones? How about this: I’ll give you a billion top-grade spirit stones. Come to accompany me tonight.” Jiang Xiaobai shamelessly suggested.

What about face, you say?

When has he, Jiang Xiaobai, ever had any dignity?

A shameless rascal, without any bottom line, isn’t that him?

What can’t he do when it comes to making people sick?

Hearing Jiang Xiaobai’s words, Zhuang Huanling was so angry her teeth itched: “Hong Shixian, don’t go too far.”

“Just quote a price, I’ll pay and leave. I won’t block your path to wealth.”

Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes, he didn’t immediately answer her request.

After sizing her up, he raised an eyebrow.

“You go first, how many Frenzy Demon Stones do you want.”

“Two hundred.”

Pfft!

Jiang Xiaobai nearly choked on his spit: “Are you crazy? Are you going to the eighth secret area?”

“What’s it to you? Are you willing to name a price? If not, then that’s fine as well, we can both lose out. Anyways, there’s already bad blood between us.”

“Hehe, indeed, you messing with me so many times was really too much.”

“Didn’t you retaliate against me?”

“What a joke. What did I do to retaliate against you? Speak up, let me hear it.”

Jiang Xiaobai’s words immediately rendered Zhuang Huanling speechless.

The things that humiliated her in the past, she didn’t want to bring them up again.

Taking a deep breath, it seemed Zhuang Huanling couldn’t hold her anger in any longer.

“I’m asking you one last time. What’s your price? Or else, I’ll make you run for your life now.”
