437 How Can It Be Fake?
“What do you mean by ‘lying’?” asked Dong Xi. “Fellow Daoist Cui, is it true that you are selling the quota?”
Cui Liu nodded and Dong Xi continued, “It’s also true that we have a spot, right?”
Cui Liu still nodded. Dong Xi said, “So, how can this be fake? How can I be lying?”
Cui Liu thought about it and said, “It seems… That’s right. But I already planned to give you guys the spots anyway!”
Dong Xi sighed softly. No wonder the dwarf race was bullied. They were so honest. It was indeed easy to suffer.
On the contrary, the caption was smart this time. Tie Zhu said, “Brother Liu, it’s fine if you want to give it to us. Shangguan Patriarch loves his son-in-law dearly. You have to help him!”
Cui Liu looked at Tie Zhu as if he was looking at a fool. Cui Liu said, “He dotes on his son-in-law, but he doesn’t dote on you. Why are you speaking for her?”
Cui Liu also did not understand why Tie Zhu called her ‘Junior Sister’ and why she was the son-in-law of the Shangguan Patriarch.
Was this person a man or a woman?
Cui Liu scratched his head in confusion. The relationship between humans was too chaotic. Cui Liu could not understand it at all.
“I’m the Senior Brother of the Shangguan family’s Patriarch’s son-in-law, so I’m also a relative. Isn’t it normal for me to curry favor with the in-laws?” Tie Zhu said.
Dong Xi did not expect Tie Zhu to be so smart. However, when he thought of his fellow disciples in the sect, Dong Xi smiled.
Shangguan Patriarch would never have dreamed that there would be so many in-laws.
Tie Zhu’s random and unreasonable words had actually convinced Cui Liu. Cui Liu said, “You’re right.”
But soon, Cui Liu had a new worry. He frowned and said, “Then where should I go to sell this quota?”
“To the Rainbow Store,” said Dong Xi directly.
Tie Zhu and Dong Xi looked at each other. Tie Zhu asked doubtfully, “Rainbow Store?”
After thinking for a moment, Tie Zhu continued, “But there’s no Rainbow Store in the Void Sea!”
Cui Liu nodded as well. Dong Xi said lightly, “There will be one in three days. Fellow Daoist, why don’t you wait for three days?”
“Alright!” Cui Liu said.
After a while, someone outside shouted, “Brother Liu, serve the grilled fish!”
Cui Liu looked at the kitchen. There were ingredients for grilling fish, but the fish pond had been blown up.
The fish had already been blown into pieces. How could he continue to roast fish?
Cui Liu had no choice but to go out and apologize to everyone, asking them to come back tomorrow.
The Golden Core stage cultivator who attacked at the beginning looked annoyed. This person said, “Why are you only serving one customer today? Today is my last day here. I still want to satisfy my appetite.”
…
Dong Xi had never seen the ingredients on grilled fish before. What kind of spirit plant was it? It actually had such an effect?
Dong Xi pondered and left with Tie Zhu and Rui Ming.
The sun was very strong and hot. Almost all the water-type cultivators had put up a protective shield.
Such hot weather was perfect for fire element cultivators like Dong Xi.
Tie Zhu raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat off his forehead. “Senior Brother, Junior Sister, have you noticed that the weather seems to be getting hotter and hotter?”
Dong Xi and Rui Ming both felt refreshed and said at the same time, “No, I haven’t.”
“How could this be?” Tie Zhu asked in confusion. “Am I the only one who feels hot?”
“Senior Brother, could it be because you’ve gotten fatter recently?” Dong Xi asked with a smile.
Tie Zhu, “…”
Perhaps there was such a possibility.
“Junior Sister, where are we going?” Tie Zhu asked with a cough.
Dong Xi looked at the people on the street and said, “You guys go back and rest. I’ll walk around the streets.”
Tie Zhu nodded. He really did not want to wander outside on such a hot day.
Rui Ming looked at Dong Xi and nodded in agreement.
Rui Ming and Tie Zhu returned to the inn together. As soon as they entered, they saw the waiter wiping the sweat off his forehead with a towel. The waiter complained, “Why is it getting hotter and hotter every day?”
When Tie Zhu, who was about to go upstairs, heard this, he immediately turned around and walked towards the waiter.
“Waiter, you’ve also noticed that it’s getting hot?” asked Tie Zhu.
The waiter sighed and said, “Of course. Although I have a water spirit root, I have all the other four spirit roots. I have been cultivating for many years, but I haven’t reached the second level of Qi Refement. It’s so hot now. The spiritual Qi in my body is useless.”
“I remember that the weather wasn’t this hot when I first arrived here.” Tie Zhu nodded.
The waiter replied, “Of course not. Look at the spirit plants in the backyard. They’re all dying. I’ve been here for more than 30 years, but I’ve never seen such hot weather before.”
“Why is it like this all of a sudden?” Tie Zhu immediately asked. “Did this happen in the Void Sea in the past?”
