Chapter 1571 What Is Heard And Seen (1/2)

”Damn, stop ogling! Be careful of what you are doing. You look all wound up. You will end up in a bad way if you go on like this, do you know that?” Zhong Dapao gave Liu Zi a kick.

Liu Zi reluctantly averted his eyes and complained, ”Master Pao, what are you doing? Why do you want to stop me from looking? There's no harm in that!”

Zhong Dapao raised his hand and meant to punch him. ”Donʼt do any damn stupid stuff, control yourself! We're at the auction now and it's very messy here, so don't cause any trouble.”

Liu Zi avoided the punch, pointed to a cage on the ground next to one of the stalls and said, ”Hey, boss, kill a snake! Master Liu wants to eat the snake's gallbladder and drink snake blood to reenergize himself. Hehe, Master Liu has been busy working these two days.”

There were many stalls on the street. It was really like a market, selling all sorts of things, among them snakes. Iron cages were placed in a long line, and coiling in them were colorful snakes, mainly vipers.

Li Du said in shock, ”Damn, why are there so many snakes?”

Zhong Dapao laughed and said, ”Because of the event. What do big bosses like? Snakes! Bold and strong in appearance, it is considered a sign of masculinity to consume them. Come, boss, kill two for my young master Gold Bungarus and Silver Bungarus, one each!”

The stall owner conveniently grabbed a poisonous snake from the cage and slaughtered it.

The scene was bloody. The tongue of the snake was first held with pliers, making its mouth unable to close. Then it was cut open from the abdomen and the gallbladder of the snake was taken out. The gallbladder was drenched with blood. Then the snakeskin was torn down along the cut, and the snake flesh was revealed.

The snake was not dead, but still writhing. The procedure looked extremely cruel.

The boss put the snake's head and skin into a jar which contained medicine mixed with rice wine. The snake's body was cut into pieces and would be eaten raw after it was washed.

Li Du was shocked. ”Damn it, this is too crazy!”

Liu Zi conveniently took a piece of snake meat, put it into his mouth and chewed. He spat out the bone and said, ”Well, Gold Bungarus tastes better, its meat is chewy.”

Zhong Dapao picked up the plate and offered it to Li Du and Da Mao. ”Come, Master Li, Brother Mao, have a bite.”

Both of them shook their heads repeatedly. ”We can't eat it, we can't.”

Zhong Dapao said, ”This is Gold Bungarus, a good snake, and it's a good omen when you eat it. Don't you think its flesh looks like a glass species stone? If you eat it, you would gain a piece of glass jade!”

Beside them was a man who brought a fashionable-looking, beautiful woman to look at the snakes. The woman was scared and pale, and yelped with fear again and again, while the man beside her laughed proudly.

Liu Zi looked at the woman with an infatuated expression. ”Hey, lady, do you want a piece? This is Gold Bungarus and Silver Bungarus. Eating them amps things up when you get in bed, haha!”

The woman rolled her eyes and wiggled her bottom as she walked and hid behind the man, who coldly looked at Liu Zi and said, ”Hey, watch your mouth.”

Liu Zi's temper was trouble, and he would explode if someone so much as stared at him. ”Damn you, I…”

”Okay, okay, keep a low profile,” Li Du frowned. ”Are you here to pick up girls or to fight? I don't know about you, but I'm here to buy stones.”

Liu Zi angrily spat out a piece of snake bone and said to the man, ”If it weren't for our Young Master Li's words, I would have torn your mouth.”

The man was also a tough character. He stepped forward and said, ”Come, try to touch me!”

Zhong Dapao grabbed onto Liu Zi's arm, and Liu Zi yelled as he was pulled away, ”Don't damn let me run into you again, I'll beat you up nicely if I do!”

Li Du said helplessly, ”Master Liu, you would not be able to live for more than twenty seconds if you did not have friends to check you. It's a miracle that you have been able to survive in Hpakant for so many years.”

Liu Zi said, ”My temper was developed in Hpakant. If you want to live well here, you have to be fierce, the fiercer the better, so no one would dare to provoke you. A man with a temper like yours or Da Mao's would be bullied!”

Da Mao raised his middle finger and said, ”Who do you think I am? Would I be afraid? This is no lawless country!”
