"You have a loud tone. Did you eat too much garlic last night?"
I removed the spells from my body, and instantly several eyes turned towards me.
The expressions of several demon cultivators were surprised at first, and then they showed murderous intent. The demonic energy was released by them, and they put on a posture, but they did not take action yet.
After all, I have been hiding quietly by my side for so long, and even my plot was not discovered. I think they are still a little wary of me, and they can't figure out my whereabouts, so they don't dare to act rashly.
Only Zhong Qiu, the one who had just kicked out two molars in his back, looked at me as if he wanted to kill someone: "Are you willing to give it up? Tell me how you want to die."
"As you're asking, it seems like you don't have teeth."
I glanced at him with that mocking look: "I want to live until death, or die on a woman's belly. Can you satisfy me with these two ways of death? If not, ask your mother."
"Damn it, I will tear you alive right now!"
His eyes were red, and after shouting these words, he rushed towards me.
But the one who spoke at the beginning, a demon cultivator who was not much different from him in strength, pulled him: "Zhong Qiu, there is something wrong with your brain? The fact that someone can kick you down in front of so many people proves that he is more powerful than anyone else."
You are much taller, why would you rush up and die yourself?"
"His, what do you mean?"
Zhong Chou gritted his teeth: "You know I can't defeat him, so why don't you join me in dealing with him?"
The demon cultivator sneered: "It's you who is plotting against me, not me. I have no enmity with him, so why should I join you in dealing with him?"
This sentence made Zhong Qiu's face turn red, and he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
The demon cultivator didn't care about his expression, rolled his eyes, and suddenly leaned forward and bowed to me: "Fellow Taoist, who are you and why do you want to block our way?
Although our Jueqing Island has been living in seclusion overseas for many years, we still have some contact with various sects in the Central Plains. If you tell us your identity, maybe our island owner and you are still old acquaintances?"
This man is obviously much more steady than Zhong Qiu in handling matters. Although I know that he is harboring bad intentions in his heart, at least he doesn't show it on his face.
Anyway, it was just to delay time. Since he wanted to play the role, I was willing to cooperate with him: "I am just a nobody. I have never heard of anyone talking about Jueqing Island, and I can't be friends with your island owner."
"That's okay. With your way of doing things, you will definitely be a well-known figure in the Central Plains. But it doesn't matter. Maybe we have heard of your name?"
"Stop inking, condoms are almost useless. I'm just here to cause trouble for you."
I put my little finger in my nostril and pinched it twice: "Don't you want to know my name? I am the cave owner of Changbai Mountain, Heixiazi Ridge, and Shaluzi Cave. The place where you are is my territory."
I think you want to go up the mountain, right? You can go up, but the protection fee must be paid to me, otherwise I will kick you to the bottom of the mountain one by one. If you don’t believe me, just give it a try."
"He, who do you think you are..."
Zhong Qiu was impatient and started shouting again, but as soon as he said a few words, the demon cultivator kicked him directly: "Shut up, you have no right to speak!"
He screamed, his voice was like thunder, it made my eardrums buzz, and even the snow on the top of the mountain began to loosen, and it seemed that the snow had not collapsed directly.
It was this voice that completely frightened Zhong Qiu.
I thought he wanted to get angry like that, but he seemed to suddenly remember something, so he just glared at the demon cultivator fiercely, thought hard, and then suppressed the words that came to his lips.
It seems that this group of people actually respect this demon cultivator, and his status is higher than that of the unlucky Zhong Chou.
I actually didn’t quite understand what the relationship between these people was, but it didn’t matter, as long as I could hold them back 90%, so I didn’t say a word, and looked at where I was standing with my eyelids drooped, observing the reaction of the demon cultivator.
It was obvious that this kid knew that I was teasing him by naming those names.
But he still used Po Xia Donkey to cooperate with me: "This, um... Cave Master? To be honest, we brothers did have to go to the mountain for some business, but we didn't expect to pass by your dojo.
Sorry for disturbing you, please forgive me."
He cupped his hands at me: "You just said you wanted protection money, right? Well, since this is your territory, it's reasonable for us to pay protection money, but I don't know how much you want?"
We brothers are going out in a hurry this time and don’t have anything valuable with us, but don’t worry, as long as the price you give is reasonable, we will try our best to satisfy you.”
His attitude cannot be called respectful, but it can definitely be considered polite.
This is all because of my strength. If I had not shown my hand to scare them at the beginning, but showed up directly to stop them, I guess they would have rushed up to me and beat me in a group.
But he was very respectful, and I didn't buy it at all. I clapped my hands in a pretentious manner: "Open, open, I like you, a sensible person who does things in an open manner."
Since you are open-minded, I can't deliberately make things difficult for you, right? Well, now that the New Year has passed, spring is about to begin. I have fallen in love with the owner of the Wild Fox Cave in the nearby Wanduzi Mountain, and I want to go there after the spring to propose marriage.
But the betrothal gift is really too thin right now, and I’m afraid that others will look down on it.”
I said while rubbing my hands: "Well, if you are interested, how about helping me, the cave master, to make up for the betrothal gift?"
It doesn’t need much, just a thousand-year-old dragon’s tendons, I will make her tendon head braised pot.
I made some chicken feet with pickled peppers for a ten-thousand-year-old fire phoenix, and the little fox loved it.
Oh, by the way, here comes the shell of a hundred-thousand-year-old tortoise. The girl I am interested in has been studying the art of divination recently, but her research is not very good. Find her an older tortoise.
Turtle Shell, her divination accuracy could be a little higher, right?
That’s all, as long as you can find all the things I mentioned and give them to me as requested, I will let you go up the mountain immediately, and I will do what I say!”
Silence, deathly silence.
No matter how stupid people are, they know that I am deliberately trying to embarrass them.
The eyes of several demon cultivators showed the undisguised murderous intent.
But I have to admire the demon cultivator who spoke to me. He still had a sullen face and asked me patiently: "This cave master, I actually want to help you make up for the betrothal gift, but what you want is too precious.
It's not easy to find right now.
Let's do this, you first clear the way and let us go up the mountain, and when the work is done, I will find all the things you want and deliver them to your cave, how about it?"
I sneered: "Haha, I don't think so.
When you married your wife, you told your mother-in-law that I don’t have any money now, and the bride price will be paid when I have money. Do you think your mother-in-law will agree? If she doesn’t smash you bastard with a broom, I will consider you a kid.
Looks solid.
What I didn’t say is, either give me something, or turn around and go down the mountain now, these are the two options, you choose one yourself!”
