Chapter 21: A Reluctant Request

"Ahh

"It's gone, it's gone. ”

She embarrassedly put the meat back into her bowl, and her brain, which was still dizzy just a moment ago, spun rapidly.

Although she and Xu Mingdong are not ascetics behind closed doors, they are both very greedy for money, and they are working hard outside for a year, and the two have never had a relationship.

Qiao Yue looked at the bowl of spiritual cooking he brought, and said in her heart that this person's diligence was too cheap.

"Xu Daoyou, let's talk first......" Qiao Yue silently lowered her head and bit her chopsticks.

"So, Lin Daoyou, you promise......" Xu Mingdong was overjoyed when he heard this, and stood up to pour another cup for Qiao Yue.

"Xu Daoyou, tell me what is the matter first. Wine can be talked about later. Qiao Yue's attitude was obviously much more distant, and she raised her palm and pushed Xu Mingdong's wine jug back.

Seeing Qiao Yue so alert, Xu Daoyou looked at Yang Yidao and Yue Qingyu, and became embarrassed.

"This, Lin Daoyou, you don't drink, isn't this not giving me face?" he said and poured the wine to Qiao Yue again, this time Qiao Yue did not stop it, but showed a meaningful smile.

In such a hurry to pour her wine, it is difficult to say that he wants her to get drunk, so that it is better to talk.

Of course, people's hearts are unpredictable, and if it is not ruled out that there is something in this wine, then you have to be more careful.

Qiao Yue was fooled by Xiao Tao once before, and naturally she has a lot of memories.

"Xu Daoyou, say it. What kind of reluctant invitation?" Qiao Yue drank the glass of wine and said generously, "It's just wine, why should Daoist friends be in a hurry?"

Xu Mingdong saw that she drank this wine generously, and he didn't have the slightest disgust, but that confident appearance was clearly a long plan!

Only then did he see that Qiao Yue had been vigilant. This guy is really good at disguise.

Xu Mingdong simply diverted the conversation neatly and stopped talking about wine, "Then let's get down to business." ”

Qiao Yue's face straightened, "I want to hear about it." ”

"Yes, I've been going out a lot lately and I've made a few friends. When my friends have something, I can't watch the fire from the other side, especially this kind of thing, which is also of great benefit to myself. ”

"Oh, I don't know what you said, what is the matter? Can you tell me what the benefits are?"

Hearing that there were benefits, Qiao Yue became interested, although she was no longer short of money, but it was only a temporary abundance, and she had to plan as soon as possible in the future, so she was inevitably very sensitive to making money.

What's more, she herself is also a mercenary person, except that she is not as smooth as Xu Mingdong, but she is no different from Xu Mingdong.

Just know you're going to take the bait. Xu Mingdong hooked the corners of his lips, fortunately he had already studied this person and figured out her preferences.

Xu Mingdong also introduced: "The Colosseum will issue tasks in the Nine Xuan Ling Heavenly Tower every once in a while to collect demon beasts, so that it can maintain normal operation, and this Lin Daoyou also knows." ”

"Of course I do. The reward for hunting beasts is very high, but the risk is high, and you can't go alone. So your friend approached you and asked you to find a way to pull people together to do the work of hunting beasts?"

"Yes! Lin Daoyou is worthy of being a beast fighter, his thinking is sharp, and he knows the autumn in a leaf, I am ashamed of myself!" Xu Mingdong clapped his palms and couldn't help but admire.

Qiao Yue's face did not move, "Do you want me to join?" It turns out that this is what you said about your reluctant invitation. ”

She won't easily trust Xu Mingdong, this person is not as straightforward as Yang Yidao, nor is he indifferent and self-contained like Yue Qingyu, but he is thoughtful, very smooth in his speech and deeds, and likes to encircle everyone in his words.

Such a person likes to keep three points of leeway no matter what he does, and it just so happens that Qiao Yue is also a little bit like this, so it is inevitable to guess others with his own mind.

Since Xu Mingdong knows so many people, he can't drag anyone at will, he has to find her? What reason will there be for her, it won't be because of her ability to fight beasts.

If that's the case, it's kind of credible. However, after careful consideration, there are dozens of Qi Refining Beast Fighters in Lingyang City, and they are all men, perennial beast fighters, and they have rich experience, so they can form a team with any one of them.

According to the deep-rooted sexism in the world of cultivating immortals, female cultivators are always the kind that are not favored. Why did Xu Mingdong choose her?

"Xu Daoyou, what reason do you have for choosing me? You must know that I am a female cultivator, aren't you afraid that I will drag you back?"

"Lin Daoyou, how can you say that!" Xu Mingdong waved his hand again and again.

"Lin Daoyou is famous in the entire Lingyang City, fighting a group of wolves, fighting second-order demon beasts, which time is not a big victory? Admire!" said and bowed his hand to Qiao Yue again and again.

But Qiao Yue still didn't believe it, and smiled perfunctorily, "I'm sorry, I don't dare to trust you." I'm just sharing a house with you, and if those people are your friends, I'm not at a disadvantage. ”

"Ah? haha, Lin Daoyou doesn't have to be nervous, it's just that with the financial resources of the Colosseum, the income of the demon hunting beast will not be less. Several of us also know very well that cooperation should be honest and the spirit stones should be divided equally. ”

Xu Mingdong laughed dryly, trying to make Qiao Yue let down his guard. He is not stupid, he can see that Qiao Yue is not a loser, and he will tell everything in advance, and the spirit stone will not have too many disputes at that time.

Qiao Yue thought carefully for a while. After staying in the Colosseum for a year, I know that as long as it can attract audiences, it will never be soft to smash spirit stones, and the price of collecting demon beasts is also very high.

After all, not everyone dares to go out of the city to hunt demons, even the foundation building monks have to go with two people, and the qi refining monks have to be together.

"You wait for me to go back and think about it. But there is one thing to say, I have just been promoted, and I am still unstable, if I rush to fight, I think it will have a bad effect. Seeing Xu Mingdong's face delighted, and he was pouring wine into her cup, Qiao Yue said coldly.

"Then, let the Taoist friends retreat for a while. Yang Yidao finally interjected, and added, "Lin Daoyou, I'm going too! ”

Qiao Yue was not at ease, and pulled out a smile at Yang Yidao, and the appearance of not smiling made people's backs cold: "Then I have to retreat for a long time?"

"Alas, of course I'm waiting for ......" Before he finished speaking, Yang Yidao was stabbed by Xu Mingdong, and immediately took the words.

Of course waiting? It means that without her Qiao Yue, you can't hunt beasts? Hehe, I'm afraid it's not a beast hunter, it's a hunter.

"Lin Daoyou, if it is a month or two, we can wait, but it is too long, my friends will not wait. ”

Qiao Yue looked thoughtful, "Oh, that's right, you have to wait for the next prey." ”

Although he didn't know what the prey Qiao Yue was talking about, the smile on Xu Mingdong's face gradually disappeared, and he glanced at Yue Qingyu, "Yue Daoyou is going too." ”

Qiao Yue looked at Yue Qingyu with a puzzled face, "Yue Daoyou doesn't look like he is short of money, why do you have to do hunting?"

"It's inconvenient to be away from home. Yue Qingyu said lightly.

"Oh. Qiao Yue sneered, looking at her hand, there was a callouse in the palm of her hand, which was the old wound from holding the sword. was ground by the hilt of the sword and blistered with blood, and slowly became a cocoon, hard and hard without feeling.

"I used to be a sword cultivator, and I knew that sword cultivators had to buy sword cultivation materials, and it was very difficult to have spirit stones. ”

It is recognized that sword cultivation costs money in the immortal world, and it is also recognized that the combat effectiveness is high. Qiao Yue thought that she could beat Xu Mingdong and Yang Yidao, but it was still a little difficult to fight against Yue Qingyu, a sword cultivator who had a comparable cultivation.

So once Yue Qingyu joined, Qiao Yue's disadvantage was even more obvious.

And Yue Qingyu on the side was also very surprised, he didn't expect that this woman, who knew the Five Elements Spell and was also a physical cultivator, had actually done sword cultivation. This person should not be underestimated!

"Lin Daoyou, you turned out to be such a Lin Daoyou. Haha, I really didn't see it before......" Xu Mingdong grinned widely, made a look of disbelief with great difficulty, and pushed the bowl of spirit cooking in front of Qiao Yue.

Qiao Yue unceremoniously poured half of the spirit cooking on her own rice, and ate the rice in a daze.

A good meal, but the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing. Yang Yidao handed Qiao Yue a roast pigeon, and said with a smile: "Look, Yue Daoyou and Xu Daoyou don't eat much, things are good things, don't waste them." ”

That's right, no matter what, everyone has eaten some of this roast pigeon, and there should be nothing to eat, so Qiao Yue can eat it with confidence. It's just that no one touched the plate of osmanthus cake, so she naturally didn't dare to eat it.

If it weren't for Yang Yidao telling a few jokes on the side, this meal would be unbearable to death. Qiao Yue laughed heartlessly for a long time, and her tears were about to fall. Xu Mingdong just kept his face calm and didn't speak, bowing his head and not knowing what he was thinking.

After eating, Qiao Yue carefully put away the luminous stone lamp, full of miser appearance, and saw that her animal meat mooncake was still intact, so she carefully wrapped it and put it in her arms.

"Since Xu Daoyou said it, it's not easy for me to refuse, so let's wait for me to go back and think about it. But I can't say for sure, I'll have to wait until my cultivation is stable. Qiao Yue left this sentence for Xu Mingdong and turned around and entered his cave.

Xu Mingdong and Yang Yidao looked at each other, and they both spread their hands helplessly. Look at Qiao Yue's cave mansion lit up, and they also returned to the cave mansion.

Xu Mingdong flicked his fingers, set up a soundproof barrier, and complained: "Yang Daoyou, you always mess with her, don't you always think that she is a happy person, she doesn't have so many bends in her heart, is she very easy to talk? ”

Yang Yidao gave him a roll of the eyes, "She's so vigilant, you and I didn't even notice it." Besides, we don't even know if they're men or women, so can you tell anything else?"

Thinking of Lin Lefeng's appearance and disguise, Xu Mingdong couldn't help but be ruthless, and the teacup in his hand was pinched by him and creaked: "This look, no man or woman, I can't stand it." Hmph, when she finishes her retreat, I don't know when she will have to wait, so it's better to ...... now."

He made a gesture, his face dark.

"Don't! Since she is very wary and has a lot of money on hand, who knows what her cave has arranged? Let's not take this risk, anyway, the beast hunters are not in a hurry, and the few of us who help are not in a hurry. Yang Yidao seemed to see something and pressed Xu Mingdong's hand.

"Hmm. Xu Mingdong took a deep breath, the greedy light in his eyes flashed, "I'll wait, I'll wait until she gets out." ”

Yang Yidao was also helpless, "This guy is actually more cunning than we imagined." Not to mention cunning, it's still very slippery!"
