Chapter 1617: One Hundred (1/2)
The fowl looked at Li Qiye with one eye and said: “Hehehe, d.a.m.ned crow, invite you in for a bit?”
It paused for a bit and loudly said: “We must be sick in the head to let you in. Haven’t you borrowed enough immortal crystal from us already yet you still want more? Plus, what if you don’t leave until you get what you want, what are we going to do then?!”
“I’m really someone like that?” Li Qiye smiled and said: “I’m always open and honest with a penchant for fairness…”
“Yeah, you’re someone like that!” The fowl interrupted Li Qiye without giving him any face.
Li Qiye was as carefree as always: “There’s no free lunch in this world. You can say that I did borrow a lot of immortal crystals from you cheapskates and never gave them back, but after the long years, shouldn’t you all be thanking me?”
“Thanking you, my a.s.s!” The fowl snorted: “Back in the Ancient Ming Era, you borrowed so much resources from us. Just that portion alone is enough to start a world!”
“Exaggerating again?” Li Qiye shook his head:” That’s indeed the case but it was only a dozen or so crystals, the other stuff are just sc.r.a.ps.”
“Sc.r.a.ps?!” The fowl had a bigger reaction this time and jumped up high. It stretched out its neck and screeched: “I hope the heaven kills you, d.a.m.ned crow! You dare to say sc.r.a.ps?! Those are precious materials of the Immortal Emperor level! Go die already!”
“I’m just telling the truth. Compared to the special crystals here, the other materials are just sc.r.a.ps.” Li Qiye ignored the fowl and said: “In my eyes, the immortal crystals are the real goods here.”
“Hmph, you got enough crystals already just from the Ancient Ming Era. A dozen? d.a.m.ned crow? Not even talking about the other times, you still haven’t paid back one from that period!” The fowl was exasperated.
“I don’t have any left. Remember, I was the one who ended the Ancient Ming Era and swept away the darkness. If it wasn’t for me, can your mine still be so peaceful and you old chicken can sleep like this? No chance! Then, why should I need to repay you?” Li Qiye nonchalantly stated.
“Hmph, we knew you would renege on your debt. Every single time, always some excuses to not pay back!” The aggrieved fowl felt helpless as well.
Li Qiye continued: “How can you say that instead of thanking me? Yes, I do borrow a lot of crystals but think about it, if Immortal Emperors had come to hara.s.s you every once in a while, or, if I had gathered the legions of the nine worlds to attack your place, how many generations would this place last? How many crystals would be required to make up for the loss? There are two sides to everything, good and bad, so you shouldn’t latch on to the bad all the time. Focus on the good now. For millions of years, because of me, you were able to have peace. Thus, lending me the crystals isn’t a loss at all. Am I right?” Li Qiye smirked at this point.
“Crow, you’re a G.o.dd.a.m.ned b.a.s.t.a.r.d, a bloodsucking devil!” The fowl indignantly shouted.
“I know I’m a b.a.s.t.a.r.d.” Li Qiye smiled leisurely: “But, now that you got your yelling done, no longer angry, right? It’s time to talk business.”
“Hmph, you’re just here to borrow more crystals. Well, in this generation, we can only give you five crystals since you borrowed already two generations ago. Yes, five at the most!” The fowl knew what Li Qiye was here for but he had to acquiesce.
Li Qiye indeed came here for the so-called “sc.r.a.ps” back in Immortal Emperor Yin Tian’s generation. Of course, these sc.r.a.ps were precious immortal items if others were to find them.
The crystal eighteen cannons of the Yu were made from the sc.r.a.ps of the Crystalfowl Immortal Mine!
“Five is not enough to satiate my appet.i.te.” Li Qiye shook his head and refused.
The fowl glared at him in response: “Crow, you should stop borrowing from us so much. Remember, last time you promised us to bring the escapees back but I don’t see them right now yet you have the face to come and borrow more?”
