Chapter 420: Tree Thief
After He Xiaoting finished learning with Little Green Snake, she was very unhappy even if she became a winner.
Why?
Because the opponent was passive and slacking off in the second half, blindly dodging, and did not take the initiative to come out of the tail, she felt like she was not victorious.
Listen to what the onlookers said, saying that the little green snake has the demeanor of her predecessors, and she repairs the villain's tricks in the competition, corrects the mistakes and omissions in her sword moves, and is worthy of being the descendant of the demon king.
He Xiaoting wanted to know, had the snake that could only wrap its tail with the hilt of the sword ever practiced swords?
If the big demon with rich experience in fighting human cultivation can still be reasonable, if it is replaced by Qing Mingyue, who has never been out of the demon domain and rarely comes into contact with human cultivation, it can only be said that this joke is not funny.
"I'm leaving," Qing Mingyue slapped her tail on the ground, "don't leave me." β
"Well, I won't stay," He Xiaoting looked at the half-collapsed wooden shed with a sad face.
The fight was cool for a while, and after the fight, I realized that life was unsatisfactory, and nine times out of ten I did it myself.
There is such a big open space in front of you, why do you have to run this way?
Why the hell is that!
"Brother Yusheng, why are you like this," Qing Mingyue accused loudly, "If it weren't for you, how could I be in such a bad mood, you didn't even have a word of comfort." β
He Xiaoting asked with a dark face, "Tell me, how I hurt you." β
"You're so rich that you've knocked me out of faith. β
"So, you regretted lending me the cave and wanted to collect the rent?"
Qing Mingyue's eyes lit up, and her depressed mood instantly improved, "Yes, I can ask you to pay the rent." β
In the past, it was stupid, thinking that the newly recognized Yusheng brothers were so poor that they could only live in tents on the periphery of the demon domain, and they didn't even dare to come to the Ten Thousand Demon City.
"Okay," He Xiaoting said briskly, "How much do you want?"
She will definitely not shirk the rent that should have been given.
Qing Mingyue was entangled, "I don't know, wait for me to inquire." β
The words fell, and they wandered away in the blink of an eye.
He Xiaoting didn't care, as early as when she found out that Little Green Snake was not a rich demon, she went to inquire about the rent of nearby shops (caves), and prepared to settle them before leaving.
Now that the little green snake wants to open it by herself, it saves her more trouble in the future.
The brothers all settle accounts, not to mention halfway brothers like them, and it's not that they don't have spirit stones, she doesn't want to owe anyone, no, it should be said that demon debts.
In less than a cup of tea, Qing Mingyue reappeared in the half-collapsed wooden shed, and said in a sneering voice, "I asked my forty-third brother, and he said that my shop has a good location, and the monthly rent is at least two high-grade spirit stones, and you can give half of it." β
He Xiaoting was speechless and choked, the little green snake ran to her here to eat fried skewers with a 50% discount, but now she is learning and using it lively, and the rent is also 5% off for her.
"No, you're poorer than me, so I'm embarrassed to take advantage of you. β
Qing Mingyue was depressed, what nonsense to tell the truth, it didn't want to lose face!
He Xiaoting planned to make up all the rent some time ago, but Qing Mingyue insisted on confiscating it this time.
"I'm giving you free of charge, there's no reason for you to make it back. β
"That's okay," He Xiaoting didn't bother to shoehorn.
Thinking about the fact that one of them promised to be rent-free and the other promised to provide each other with free food, but now they have changed their minds, it is really naΓ―ve.
The disadvantages of lack of experience are undoubtedly exposed.
After collecting the rent, Qing Mingyue didn't stay for a moment, and immediately went home to hide from her shame, but He Xiaoting took Xiaobai up the mountain to cut down trees.
He chose a stout tree, drew his sword and cut it, and at the moment when the tree fell to the ground, a rough male voice sounded behind him.
"Got you, tree thief!" I love e-books
He Xiaoting suddenly had a bad feeling, could it be that there is a forest ranger demon on this mountain?
"Don't play dead, it won't work with me. β
The owner of the rough male voice finally appeared, a dwarf less than a meter tall, wearing black shorts and straw sandals, and his hair was also very short, like spikes standing on end.
"I didn't pretend to be dead," He Xiaoting flatly denied, "I didn't steal trees, I came here to buy trees." β
The forest ranger sneered, "Nonsense, if you buy a tree, why don't you look for me, but run up the mountain and cut it yourself?"
"I didn't find you, so I came directly up the mountain," He Xiaoting said seriously.
Since she is, let's talk nonsense!
"You-" The Ranger was stunned, "I've never seen anyone so brazen. β
"That's because you don't have much knowledge," He Xiaoting persuaded bitterly, "You should study more and go outside more, so as not to become a frog at the bottom of the well." β
The forest ranger demon was very angry, and he raised his hand to fan it, but he saw He Xiaoting put away the tree and ran down the mountain, shouting while running,
"Help!
The forest ranger looked at his hand blankly, didn't it just want to teach the tree thief a lesson, why did it do this.
Wait, you can't let people run away, people and cultivators all look similar, what if you chase people away?
So he pulled his legs and chased in the direction He Xiaoting left, "Don't run, you haven't paid for the spirit stone yet, you are not allowed to leave if you don't pay for it!"
After chasing, I suddenly found that there was a half-human-tall and thumb-thick spiritual fruit tree on the ground, and there was a dusty storage bag next to the tree, with four scribbled words on it, "Money and goods are clear." β
Open the storage bag to check, there are ten high-grade spirit stones inside.
The anger in the forest ranger's heart cooled down instantly, with these spirit stones, it can grow a lot of spirit plants.
Anyway, the tree that was cut down was older, and it didn't become a sperm.
And He Xiaoting, who fled down the mountain in a gray way, returned to the temporary cave mansion to give herself a cleaning technique, and thought to herself while lying on the bed, "Fortunately, I ran fast." β
Damn Qing Mingyue, she only told her that she could go up to the mountain to cut down trees, but she didn't say that she had to find a forest guard demon to buy it.
She will remember this account first, and then calculate it next time.
calmed down, He Xiaoting got up and repaired the wooden shed diligently.
Some wood can still be used, replace the broken ones, repair them and then strengthen them with spells, so that they are stronger.
Phew~ Go to practice, you have to get up early tomorrow and go out of the city to hunt.
Before meditating, Xiaobai, who had been nesting in bed, suddenly asked, "When are we leaving?"
He Xiaoting was slightly stunned, "Why did you suddenly ask this, don't you like it here?"
"I don't like it," Xiaobai replied without hesitation.
"Why?" He Xiaoting couldn't understand, "This is the Demon Domain, you should be more comfortable here than me." β
"Whoever said that demons must like this," Xiao Bai muttered, "I hate it, and I can't wait to leave immediately." β
He Xiaoting frowned, "What I asked was the reason, and there was no annoyance for no reason." β
Xiaobai didn't hide it, "I'm different from them, every time I go out, I have to be ridiculed by everyone, saying that I am willing to degenerate and cultivate with others." β
Only then did He Xiaoting understand that it was still related to her.
"That being the case, you will go out less to play in the future and go back to the spirit beast bag to cultivate. β
"This ......," Xiaobai suddenly hesitated, "I'm not going to play, I just want to know why they can transform into shapes." β
"Hey, Brother Mingyue said it last time," He Xiaoting asked in surprise, "Haven't you been nestled in my arms all the time, why didn't you hear it?"
"But I'm not looking for a half-demon," Xiao Bai's eyes were full of longing, "A few days ago, I knew a demon with a complete transformation, it is not a hybrid of humans and demons, it seems to have eaten some kind of spirit grass." β
