Chapter 21: The Quarrel Between the Two (I)
"Brother, I'm back~"
The door to the hut was gently pushed open, and a small girl and a scrawny old man entered. They were wearing thick coats, which were also wet from the mountain moisture.
Probably because they have been carrying bamboo baskets on their backs for a long time, their waists are still slightly bent. The young man was young after all, and the little girl threw the bamboo basket on her back to the ground very lightly, picked up the cup and drank the water in a big gulp, but the old man could not put the basket down quickly because of the problem of muscles and bones.
After a while, Xuanyuan Zun, who was sitting on a chair and reading a book, came into the eyes of the old man. The old man, who had been panting for breath due to fatigue and didn't notice Xuanyuan Zun, hurriedly came over after seeing Xuanyuan Zun and asked in a low voice: "Ah! Lord Xuanyuanzun, when are you here? ”
"It's not been long since I arrived, and I've just arrived."
Xuanyuan Zun, who was cross-legged, glanced at the two people who had just entered the door, and his eyes immediately fell on the basket that the two of them carried back. The basket of herbs was not full, it was only a little more than half. Xuanyuan Zun's brows furrowed slightly.
"Old Yao, it doesn't look like today's amount is enough......" Xuanyuan Zun said coldly.
Just such a sentence, the old man apologized again and again in fear, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know why the sun is setting very slowly today...... It's hard to collect, so ......"
The old man hurriedly explained, hoping to get the understanding of the cold man in front of him. However, just relying on such words could not have touched this cold-blooded man at all.
"The sunset is slow? Everything in this world follows the "setting"! How could there be a situation like what you said! ”
Xuanyuan Zun said rather roughly, "In short, the number is not enough. I don't want to explain, I just want the result! ”
In the real world, Xuanyuan Zun is a guy who is nothing. He had no money, no house, no car, and he couldn't even find his place in the city. But in the game, he is the king, he is the one who can trample on others. This kind of escapism can be vaguely felt in Xuanyuan Zun's body. It is this attitude that makes Wei, who has endured for a long time, explode.
"I can't blame my grandfather and I at all today, we have been so desperate, but, but today is different from the past! Could it be that we want the sun to set so slowly? It's all outside factors! ”
The little girl standing next to her was named Yao Wei. Children are rebellious. Seeing the downfall of his grandfather, who was already old and still working so hard for his livelihood, Wei couldn't bear it anymore - he yelled at Xuanyuan Zun very loudly. The little eyes that were round with angry eyes puffed up slightly. His whole face was flushed with anger.
- What's wrong, what's going on?
Tessa, who was in the kitchen, heard movement in the hall and immediately put down her work and walked out.
"When is it your turn to speak!"
Xuanyuan Zun, who was sitting on the sofa, took his eyes off the old man and turned to the little girl. The chill made the little girl take a step back. The backward little girl's body stopped as she touched something. Turning his head in some panic, in stark contrast to the extremely bad feeling brought by Xuanyuan Zun's cold expression, it was the warm affinity emanating from Taisha's body.
"Are you ......" Wei was a little scared, although Tessa exuded an amiable feeling, but Wei was afraid that she was with Xuanyuan Zun.
"Don't worry." Tessa comforted, "I'm not a bad person! ”
- Tsk, this troublesome woman again...... Xuanyuan Zun smacked his lips a little impatiently and looked at Tessa quietly.
"What do you have to say?" Xuanyuan Zun asked.
"Xuanyuan Zun, is it necessary for you to stare at such a little girl like this?"
Tessa's eyes didn't shy away from staring straight into Xuanyuan Zun's eyes. At the same time, her hands fell on Wei's shoulders, as if injecting strength into her body, and that kind of power made Wei instantly feel cared for, warm and tough.
"They're just children, they're just old people. If you have the ability, you can be so angry in reality, why do those sneaky things! ”
"Sneaky things?"
Xuanyuan Zun instantly realized that this woman might be the eldest lady he met yesterday afternoon! No wonder this woman is so familiar. It turns out that you have to chase after you when you hide in the game! Faced with this, Xuanyuan Zun didn't want to say it, and he didn't know how to say it.
But the girl's questioning did not end there, she held the rice grain in her hand, and her eyes were fixed on Xuanyuan Zun: "Also, what is the so-called pearl?" Is that all these things? ”
The rice grains rattled slightly in Tessa's hand - that was because Tessa was so angry that she had almost exhausted all her strength!
"As you can see! The so-called pearl is the pearl, and that's it! ”
Xuanyuan Zun never regarded Tessa as a partner, just an opportunity to make money. And now this woman not only did not bring him a little benefit, but continued to embarrass herself. In such a situation, he already saw Tessa as an enemy.
"What? Questions? ”
Xuanyuan Zun's tone was cold and terrifying.
"Questions? You can say it! It's just an ordinary grain of rice, right? Well? ”
Tessa's chest rose and fell with anger.
"Just for this cheap thing, you do this to them? They're human too! ”
"People?"
Xuanyuan Zun sneered, "Don't forget, this is just a virtual world, and the so-called people are just NPCs." In other words, they're just my tools! What about them, I don't care at all! ”
"You!"
Xuanyuan Zun didn't wait for Tessa to finish speaking, and then rudely interrupted her - "Tessa...... No, miss, if you have come here to be the image of the Virgin, to make it difficult for me again and again, to preach to me, then don't blame me for being rude to you! ”
After that, an inexplicable aura was generated around Xuanyuan Zun's body, and the surrounding utensils actually began to buzz. When Tessa looked closely, those things were shaking!
