Chapter 153 - 153: 153 Don’t Just Fleece One Sheep
Translator: 549690339
At a must-pass path not far ahead of Hu Fu Mountain, hundreds of people
were secretly lying in ambush.
The man in the white outfit leading them had a deep frown: “It’s been three days, why isn’t there any news?”
At that moment, a man in black next to him pulled out a jade slip. Suddenly, the jade slip split open, immediately unleashing a terrifying murderous intent from the man in white. “Your Highness, this…”
Splat!
The sound of a sharp weapon penetrating flesh was heard, and the man in white stabbed and killed the black-garbed man. His face was now as dark as water, and his killing intent was even stronger.
“Someone must be helping her; she won’t come here. Hurry to the Silver Moon Sect, we must stop them before they return!” The man in white gritted his teeth and coldly snorted.
In an instant, hundreds of figures in black rushed out from the dense forest, heading directly towards the Silver Moon Sect.
In the sky, over ten thousand li away from the Silver Moon Sect, two figures were flying fast — it was Jiang Xiaobai and Lin Sien.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai was calmly observing the surroundings, while Lin Sien on the side was wearing a sullen expression.
On the way, she had lost count of how many times Jiang Xiaobai had shamelessly asked for more money. His unreasonable demands for additional charges were causing her to explode with anger, and the total cost had already increased from ten million to now thirteen million.
And it was only one day ago!
“Hey, I just remembered, I think I have an important appointment tomorrow. Now that I’m being delayed by you, well, what about compensation for emotional distress and loss of working time plus…”
“Enough!”
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai doing the math, Lin Sien finally lost her patience.
“Can you stop bothering me? I’m not going to be short of this amount of money!”
Lin Sien angrily said, “And, even if you want to fleece someone, can you stop using me like a sheep, and fleecing me over and over again? Do you think the money of the Silver Moon Sect comes with the wind?”
In Lin Sien’s view, Jiang Xiaobai was definitely doing it on purpose. He knew that she was the holy maiden of the Silver Moon Sect and hence wanted to deliberately scam her.
That’s right, it must be the case.
Thinking about this made Lin Sien grit her teeth. She felt that going to Jiang Xiaobai for help was the biggest mistake she had ever made in her life.
Jiang Xiaobai laughed somewhat awkwardly, knowing that he couldn’t continue to use this trick any longer and immediately changed the subject.
“Why were those people trying to kill you?” Jiang Xiaobai smiled and asked. “Who should I ask if not you? I would like to ask you, are you short of money? Even a cultivator in the late stages of the Nascent Soul Stage wouldn’t need that many top-grade spirit stones, right?” Lin Sien gritted her teeth and said.
Jiang Xiaobai scratched his head, in fact, he didn’t want to be like this either, but with him, no matter how many spirit stones he had, they were never enough.
Not enough at all!
Especially before, when Lin Sien was breaking through her cultivation in the cave, these two acquired spiritual treasures actually started to devour the spirit stones in his storage space on their own.
By the time he reacted, there wasn’t even a single hair left in the storage space.
This almost drove him mad on the spot. Fortunately, he had put the spirit stone veins he had found earlier into the “Meandering Veins Record, ” otherwise, they would undoubtedly all have been consumed.
He was utterly resigned to these two big daddies.
Seeing the bitter expression on Jiang Xiaobai’s face, Lin Sien snorted coldly, subconsciously moving a little away. She thought Jiang Xiaobai was scheming on how to fleece her again in his mind.
Just at this moment, Lin Sien suddenly saw hundreds of black figures rushing out from the forest ahead. Every one of them was holding a sharp weapon and charged towards them.
They were surrounded in an instant.
“Lin Sien, we’ve been waiting a long time for you!” The leader of the group gritted his teeth, “Attack, we need to finish this quickly before the Silver Moon
Sect can react.”
Immediately, hundreds of black figures surrounded them from all sides, above and below.
Lin Sien subconsciously looked at Jiang Xiaobai and found that he was also smiling and watching her, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and yell.
“I’ll pay more, kill them for me.”
“There are too many of them…”
“I’ll pay more, is that alright?”
Lin Sien didn’t even realize that she, who had always been as cold as an iceberg, seemed quite powerless in front of this shameless Jiang Xiaobai, and even her temperament had changed.
“Alright, wait for it.”
Jiang Xiaobai smiled, wielding the Acquired Spiritual Treasure sword, started to slaughter in all directions, but there were too many enemies around, even Jiang Xiaobai felt a bit overwhelmed.
After Lin Sien repelled one person with her hand, she realized this was not the solution. Suddenly a jade tablet appeared in her left hand, and she fiercely crushed it.
In an instant, hundreds of figures burst out of the Silver Moon Sect thousands
of miles away. The lowest cultivation level among them was the Nascent Soul
Stage, and even the ‘Dividing the gods’ experts were alarmed, rushing towards
Lin Sien’s location.
The battle in the sky continued, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t know how many people he had killed. Nascent Soul, Transcendence, they were all dispatched with a fair sword stroke in front of him.
And if one blow wasn’t enough, simply strike again.
But there were too many people around him. Although it was a bit strenuous dealing with them, it was only a matter of time. But who knew if there would be any more experts coming afterwards.
Just then, hundreds of figures appeared in the distance. When they saw their own holy maiden was being besieged by a group of men in black, they were instantly enraged.
“Bastards, dare to lay hands on our holy maiden, seek death!”
A Silver Moon Sect elder roared in anger, his aura running wild, and he threw a palm towards the sky.
Suddenly, clouds surged, the heavens and earth shattered, a huge spiritual palm appeared in the sky and fiercely slammed down on the men in black.
Boom!
A loud bang was heard, and the men in black were instantly wiped out in large numbers, followed by the reinforcements from Silver Moon Sect forcefully killing in, causing the black-clothed men to retreat.
Seeing this, Lin Sien finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she glanced towards Jiang Xiaobai, who was on the side, still wildly hacking at a black-clothed man in the later stages of Transcendence.
The moment she thought of Jiang Xiaobai’s rip-off theory over these past few days, she couldn’t help but shudder.
As the Silver Moon Sect’s reinforcements arrived, the situation here instantly collapsed. All the black-clothed men were killed, they had even captured a live one, but when he realized the situation was hopeless, he swallowed poison from his own mouth, making it impossible to extract any information.
“Holy Maiden, are you alright?” A group of elders rushed over with worried expressions and surrounded Lin Sien.
“I’ve always said you shouldn’t have gone to Hu Fu Mountain to get medicine all by yourself, Holy Maiden. It’s a good thing we arrived in time this time.” “Exactly, Holy Maiden, you can’t be so reckless in the future.”
As Lin Sien listened to the elders’ nagging, she didn’t feel annoyed for the first time. Compared to Jiang Xiaobai’s theory of charging extra fees, these were nothing.
Speak of the devil, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly appeared beside her just as she was thinking about him.
“Are these the people from your Silver Moon Sect?” Jiang Xiaobai asked.
“Holy Maiden, this gentleman is…”
“Pay up!”
Jiang Xiaobai suddenly stretched out his hand, leaving the group of elders
dumbfounded, but what flabbergasted them even more was that their Holy
Maiden actually nodded.
“Don’t worry, I won’t not pay you this amount. How much is it now?”
“Let me do the math… hmm, it’s already one million eight hundred sixty-three thousand, let’s round it off, one million nine hundred thousand will do.”
Jiang Xiaobai wore an innocent smile..
