Chapter 440: No installments
Chapter 440: No installments
On the other side, Mo Rangchen was still arguing with Bu Jinglian.
After a few daily taunts, Bu Jinglian curled her lips in disdain and said, "I advise you to place your bet on me today, otherwise not only will your demon's eyes be pecked out, but you will also have to pay for all your precious 100 middle-grade spirit stones."
"You have never defeated me once in the battle of demons. Tsk, why don't you just admit defeat? You can also let your Scarlet Snake Demon Master suffer a little."
"To be honest, fighting a demon with you is a sheer waste of time. The first-place building wants to cancel your spot, right?"
Mo Rangchen's smile disappeared completely. He stared at her coldly, the corners of his mouth twitching, but he couldn't speak.
The people standing behind Bu Jinglian snickered, while the people behind Mo Rangchen quietly moved away and pretended to be passers-by. It was a virtue and cultivation of the demon cultivators not to be ridiculed along with the leader.
What’s going on, handsome secretary, check it for me!
The handsome guy quickly narrated: "Bu Jinglian's contracted demon is a six-winged Xun demon with combined strength. Its strength, speed, and growth potential are all first-class. It is one of the ten most powerful combat demons sold by the Demon Hunter Guild."
"Mo Rangchen's contracted demon is a Chizha Jiao Demon in the Fusion Stage. It is equally strong, but the bad thing is that its natural enemy happens to be a six-winged Jiao Demon."
"In this Demon Fighting Competition, the two of them have fought three times, and Mo Rangchen has never won. He always loses miserably. In order to avoid losses, he only bets the lowest price, one hundred mid-grade spirit stones."
Those who participate in the demon fight must place a bet.
Zhu Jiu thought about it and felt that Bu Jinglian's suggestion was very constructive for Mo Rangchen. "Mo Rangchen should just bet on himself to lose. Although the profit is small, at least he won't lose money."
Handsome Guo looked at Zhu Jiu in surprise, "Is sister-in-law really a spiritual practitioner from outside?"
Seeing Zhu Jiu nod, he said with emotion: "Then your aura is really harmonious with our Jiuqu Shuozhou."
"People who come from outside are full of blood and are determined to fight for their pride. They do what they know is impossible and they will choose to bet on themselves at a high price just for the sake of dignity."
"Sister-in-law, are you interested in buying a house here and living here for a long time?"
"I have connections. The location is excellent. It's near the Demon Sect in District 1. The environment is good, the facilities are complete, and there is a demon array inside. The lowest price through internal channels is 300,000 high-quality spirit stones! You can pay in installments!"
There was a gleam of anticipation in Shuai Guo's eyes, just like a puppy waiting to be fed by his owner, which made people feel soft-hearted.
Zhu Jiu understood that this guy was not only a consultant, but might also work part-time as a real estate salesperson.
"Can we not pay in installments?" Zhu Jiu was a little embarrassed.
Shuai Guo looked respectful, "Of course, for my sister-in-law's financial resources, installment payment is an insult to you!"
Zhu Jiu responded with dignity: "Okay then."
Shuai Guo quickly took out a map and showed Zhu Jiu the room types and locations one by one. He talked on and on for a long time, and Zhu Jiu nodded as he listened.
After the introduction, Shuai Guo asked, "Which one do you want? The procedure is simple and you can move in in 15 minutes!"
"Oh, I don't want any of them." Zhu Jiu said calmly.
Shuai Guo: “???”
He stared, his voice cracking a little, "Didn't you say no installments?"
"Yes, that's right, isn't it not divided into installments?"
That’s right. If you don’t buy it, you won’t pay in installments.
Shuai Guo: “…”
I'm going to f**k you, you wait, I'm going to the kitchen to get you some spirit stones!
Zhu Jiu proudly fiddled with the hairpins on her head and said with a smile, "It's mainly because the men in Jiuqu Shuozhou are not as handsome as Ling Xiu, which makes people feel quite boring."
"!!!"
When these words were spoken, the noisy crowd fell silent for a moment. Plus, since everyone was a monk with sharp eyes and ears, Zhu Jiu's words were like a loudspeaker, echoing throughout the crowd.
Everyone's attention was attracted by the lively Zhu Jiu, including Mo Rangchen and Bu Jinglian who were still arguing.
There was an eerie silence.
Zhu Jiu, who suddenly became the focus of the whole audience: "..."
Generally speaking, monks are too lazy to listen to the noise in the crowd unless it is necessary, otherwise their brains will explode. That is why Zhu Jiu said such hateful words openly and sincerely.
Who knew there was suddenly no sound just now?
Very good, today is also a very lucky day.
Zhu Jiu had a wooden face. Shuai Guo took a step away from Zhu Jiu, looking like a stranger he didn't know.
Mo Rangchen pinched his moustache and scanned Zhu Jiu up and down. The corners of his mouth curled silently with a sneer on his face, but he didn't speak to her, as if he felt that Zhu Jiu was not worthy of him speaking.
He looked at the other person, and that person was... Shuai Guo who was deceiving himself and pretending to be a passerby.
"Hey, isn't this handsome Xiao Guo? Are you working here to pay off your debts again? To be honest, you might be able to make back your money by participating in a few demon fights or trying to catch a few high-level demons in the Dark Forest."
Bu Jinglian narrowed her eyes and smiled, and gave a concise suggestion: "I still need a mount."
Hmm? What's going on? They all know Shuai Guo? And they don't like him that much.
Handsome secretary, check again!
Shuai Guo was as useful as ever. He transmitted a message to Zhu Jiu to give him some general information: "Shuai Guo is the only son of the previous district master of the Ninth District. He is currently in the fusion stage and is the leader of the middle-level combat power in the Ninth District. Because he is a spiritual practitioner, he has always been ostracized."
"The previous district chief was driven out of office for corruption, but he was smart and heard the news first. He fled Jiuqu Shuozhou with the money and his whereabouts are still unknown. The son has to pay the father's debt, and the punishment and the huge debt of spirit stones that need to be repaid fell on Shuai Guo."
Oh, I see. This is a TV series.
"How much is owed in total?" asked Zhu Jiu.
"One billion high-quality spirit stones."
Ok……
Zhu Jiu comforted Shuai Guo sympathetically: "Even if we take a step back, your mother left you 1 billion before she left."
"Oh, thank you." A stiff smile appeared on Shuai Guo Qingxiu's face, like a corpse that had been dead for ten days.
The internal communication and popularization of science only took a few breaths. Shuai Guo was now working hours, so naturally he would not respond to Bu Jinglian and Mo Rangchen. He pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Others felt bored and turned their attention to the jewel-covered Zhu Jiu, with complicated expressions including greed, ridicule and anger.
Just kidding, there are three things that demon cultivators protect throughout their lives: strength, appearance, and their ancestors.
Of course, the last item is just to make up the number.
The people pointed at Zhu Jiu and started to speak out, "Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? You look like this and yet you're still yelling at me. Do you deserve it?"
"He is just blind. Don't listen to him. I have been outside and those spiritual practitioners are all average looking. They are not even as good as Mo Rangchen." As soon as he finished speaking, he screamed and was beaten away by the person involved.
No one paid attention to such a small matter, and then they all started to scold Zhu Jiu for being blind and having poor taste and not understanding the charm of magic cultivation.
Zhu Jiu was not hurt at all, nor was she afraid. She covered her lips and glanced at everyone, her steps shaking with laughter. "I heard that the less you have, the more you desire. I won't tell you who broke your defense."
"!!!"
I’m so angry! I’m so angry!
Eager to prove the demon cultivator's appearance, someone's eyes lit up and he suddenly shouted, "Hey! Shut up, you vulgar upstart! If you meet our Heavenly Demon Sect's chief, I guarantee you will be so enchanted that you can't even walk!"
Zhu Jiu looked nonchalant: "Zundu, fake du?"
Mo Rangchen kicked the man away again in shame and anger, "What do you mean? Isn't it more than enough for me to charm her?"
No one cares.
Bu Jinglian's brows furrowed slightly, and he threw a portrait to Zhu Jiu. This time with the intention of testing him, he used 50% of his spiritual power. The portrait was thrown out like a sharp hidden weapon, and the rustling sound of breaking through the air stirred up the surrounding demonic energy.
The noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, with a gleam in their eyes, and focused their attention to see how Zhu Jiu would take the portrait.
They couldn't see Zhu Jiu's strength, but they firmly believed that she would have to reveal something if she wanted to be safe.
Whether it was the master hiding in the dark guarding this high-profile and arrogant upstart, or her own strength.
Everyone wanted to find out Zhu Jiu's background, which would determine whether they would rob her after they got out.
The portrait suddenly appeared in front of Zhu Jiu. Everyone watched as Zhu Jiu raised her hand with a serious expression, wanting to see what moves and martial arts she was going to use in order to determine her background.
Here it comes! She takes action!
At the critical moment, this plump and tender woman raised her hand! With a calm and steady aura! The air was split! She caught him so easily!
Grabbed the ends of her hair that were messed up by her laughter!
Haha.
The portrait was intercepted by Shuai Guo who stepped out of the way, and Zhu Jiu stroked his hair in a noble manner.
Bu Jinglian sneered, her eyes like X-rays, "Handsome Xiao Guo, you are not a bodyguard, why are you helping her? Did you give it to her?"
"Humph, I really misjudged you. I thought you weren't the kind of person who would sell yourself out for spirit stones, but I didn't expect you to be the same. Disgusting!"
Zhu Jiu: “???”
What the hell are those nasty words.
Mo Rangchen stroked his beard and grinned, mocking: "Did you see Bu Jinglian? Handsome Xiao Guo chose a foreign spiritual practitioner instead of you. You are such a failure as a human being!"
Shuai Guo tilted his head and transmitted a message to Zhu Jiu, "It is rumored that Bu Jinglian once offered to support Shuai Guo when he was down and out, but was rejected."
Zhu Jiu looked at him, "...So is this rumor true or false?"
Shuai Guoyang smiled, "It will cost extra for the person concerned to show up and speak."
Curious? Want to know? Huh.
"Forget it then." Zhu Jiu weighed the pros and cons and said, "It's not worth it."
"..." Shuai Guo looked down on Zhu Jiu's stinginess in his heart.
He took out a silver needle from his storage bag and pinned it on his chest, then calmly said to everyone, "Excuse me, I am now the bodyguard that Sister Zhen just hired. Anyone who tries to hurt her will have to walk over my dead body!"
Oh, so that's how it is, everyone suddenly understood.
Bu Jinglian's expression eased a little.
