Chapter Eighty-Four: Bargaining (1st Update)
Xue Zha didn't expect that a joke he casually made could make Horn react so much, seeing this scene, he couldn't laugh if he wanted to.
It's a big deal, and it's a joke that I'm a little bit inched.
A thought flashed through Xue Zhe's mind, but before he could think about it, Horn had already grabbed his arm.
Horn was really afraid that Xue Zha would forget the formula of the potion, in that case, he would really be done hunting the beast in a few days.
"Brother Huo, you say, if you have a request, just mention it, as long as I can do it, I will help you solve it, but please remember the matter about the potion, you can't forget it! Brother's life will be in your hands." ”
Xue Zha listened to Horn's more and more outrageous words, and he almost couldn't hold back, but after thinking about it, it was better to use this opportunity to get some resources for himself, so that if he returned to the Holy Courtyard, it would be much easier.
Although this is a suspicion of cheating, Xue Zhe can also be regarded as a reasonable use of the rules, and at the same time, he has also been overshadowed, so it is always okay to get some compensation for mental damages.
When Xue Zha thought about it, he felt that he was not so uncomfortable in his heart, but a little more taken for granted.
Although Xue Zhe felt a little better, he still felt a little sorry for Horn.
As a result, Horn's constant hard grip on his hand was no longer pursued.
"I'm sorry big brother, I'm going back to save Xiaolian, so I have to let you bleed some......"
Xue Zha's eyes rolled, raised his head to look at Horn's expectant gaze, coughed slightly, and said softly.
"What, Brother Huo, since you said so, then I'll work hard to come up with the formula of the potion, but I'm afraid it will take some time to try, I don't know ......"
Although Xue Zhe was a little embarrassed on his face, his right hand crossed his thumb and index finger together and rubbed it gently, which meant very obviously.
Where does Horn not understand what Xue Zha means, if Xue Zhe's gesture rests here, others may not be able to understand it, but he can definitely understand it, it is an international gesture.
Horn first froze, and then with a wave of his hand, he grabbed Xue Zha's arm a little harder.
"Brother Xue, you say, you can satisfy you with whatever you want, but you must promise to give me 500 bottles within three days!"
Horn also felt that something was wrong, so he deliberately said the number of 500 to see if Xue Zha remembered.
How could Xue Zha not know Horn's thoughts, his face was stunned, and then his brows furrowed.
"500 bottles, Brother Huo, I haven't even remembered the formula, it's too much, no, no, I can't promise you!"
After Xue Zha finished speaking, he also walked in the direction of the cabin, but he didn't know that Tang Long'er, who was left behind him, began to change drastically on his face.
"Although Brother Xue didn't blame me, it was true that I did something wrong, that guy Jack was insidious and cunning, it is likely that I did something unfavorable to Brother Xue because of what I just said, no, I have to find someone to keep an eye on him. ”
Tang Long'er looked at Xue Zha's back, first guilty, then his eyes moved down, he bit his lip lightly, his eyebrows frowned, his fists clenched together, and he raised his head again, with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Jack, don't think that the old lady will be afraid of you, you are in my territory now, and it is not your turn to go wild. ”
Tang Long'er has become the fierce appearance she used to be, because Xue Zha, in order to make the other party accept her, she has been changing all this time, but unconsciously, she has become no longer herself.
Captain Jack didn't know what was happening on deck, and if he knew, he probably wouldn't have taken it to heart, for him, Xue Zha was worth cooperating with him, and there was no need for anyone else.
In one of the living rooms of the cabin, three people sat around a square table, none of them speaking, only the mist rising from the teacups in front of them reflected their faces.
Captain Jack looked at Xue Zha, who squinted his eyes and folded his hands around his chest as if he were asleep.
On the other side, Tang Long'er took out the short knife at his waist and put the blade close to his fingers, as if he was cutting his nails.
Captain Jack looked at Xue Zhe and then at Tang Long'er, and saw that the two of them didn't mean to speak, so he slammed the table, and the teacup on the table was suddenly knocked over, and the tea soup slowly flowed down the edge of the table.
"Why don't you speak? Are you waiting for me to speak first? Okay, then I'll speak first. ”
Captain Jack withdrew his palm, his eyes swept to Xue Zha and Tang Long'er's faces again, and seeing that the two still didn't mean to speak, he took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"Brother Xue just talked to me, and he plans to gather the power of all the elite pirates in this sea area, gather them together, and hunt the sea beasts!"
As Captain Jack's last word fell, Tang Long'er, who was trimming his nails on the side, stiffened his fingers, and unconsciously turned his head to look at Xue Zhe, who was still pretending to sleep.
Seeing that his words had an effect, Captain Jack leaned back and continued.
"Brother Xue, don't sell it, you should have a detailed plan for what to do, right? I really don't like you scholars, you still grind and chirp when you talk about something, and you can't finish it in one breath. ”
Captain Jack finally couldn't help it, he stood up and looked at Xue Zha, there is a tendency that I won't do it if you don't open your mouth.
At this time, Xue Zhe finally opened his eyes, and when he saw the teacup that was still turning slightly on the table, he shook his head slightly, reached out to straighten the teacup, and picked up the teapot to refill himself with a cup of tea.
At the same time, he also refills the teacups of Captain Jack and Tang Long'er.
After that, under Captain Jack's anxious gaze, he took a sip of his teacup and pursed his lips between his lips.
"The temperature is just right......"
Xue Zhe put down the teacup, and then raised his head to look at Captain Jack in front of him.
He prides himself on being a good-natured person, but he didn't expect to meet such a strange person as Captain Jack.
He thought that Captain Jack was worth cultivating and a person who could reassure him, but he didn't expect that Captain Jack was so timid, which really disappointed him.
But luckily he didn't put all the treasure on Captain Jack.
He looked at Tang Long'er on the side, and the anger on his face dissipated a little.
But Tang Long'er's forces are too weak after all, and they can't help themselves too much.
Captain Jack saw the anger on Xue Zhe's face and the eyes he glanced at Tang Long'er from time to time, knowing that his actions had disappointed Xue Zhe, so he had to speak.
"Brother Xue, it's not that I don't write, it's just that I ......"
Before Captain Jack could finish his sentence, he was rudely interrupted by Xue Zha.
"I said, I don't want to listen to your excuses and reasons, I just ask you, do you write or not?"
Xue Zha slammed the table, and the dishes and chopsticks in front of him fell to the ground with a bang, the porcelain bowl was suddenly shattered, and the hot soup in it was also splashed on the ground.
"Brother Zha, don't be angry, don't be angry. ”
Tang Long'er also saw Xue Zhe's angry appearance for the first time, and she was also a little panicked in her heart.
But Xue Zha didn't pay attention to Tang Long'er, his eyes kept staring at Captain Jack, he had to answer Captain Jack.
Captain Jack saw Xue Zhe's eyes that were about to erupt with anger, and suddenly thought of the oath he had made with him, his body tensed, and his heart was constantly struggling.
"What should I do? If I tell him, if they find out, will I get in trouble, but if I don't tell him, this guy can do anything, if he threatens me with a contract, I will be ...... in this body."
Captain Jack is an opportunist, but he is more afraid of death.
