589 This King Makes His Move, a Chili Strip (1/2)
The Netherworld and the Hidden Dragon Continent had different currencies.
After all, the two zones were different civilizations. In the Hidden Dragon Continent, crystals were the common currency, but once one entered the Netherworld, it would no longer be.
The Nether King himself did not expect that he would need to spend crystals when he came to the Hidden Dragon Continent.
The atmosphere instantly descended into awkwardness. The Nether King pouted his lips as he looked at Nethery, as if he wanted to use his attractive gaze to move her.
Unfortunately, it didn't take long for him to be disappointed. Nethery's face did not have a trace of emotion, remaining incomparably ice-cold, and there was not a trace of any movement toward the Nether King's watery big eyes.
Looking at the latter's eyes was like looking at a talking wooden block.
”What's crystals? Can you eat it?” Nethery said.
The Nether King drew back the corners of his mouth, looking at Bu Fang with slight unhappiness, ”You are very naughty, why can this lass eat and not pay crystals, while I need to? Are you jealous that I'm more handsome than you?”
In the distance, Jiang Ling's lips twitched. Was this really the venerable lord that teacher was always searching for?
Such a shameless existence…
Bu Fang and Nethery both were expressionless, but at least Bu Fang's gaze toward the Nether King was more lively. At least it was not similar to looking at a wooden block.
”Fifteen thousand crystals for a Chili Strip…” Bu Fang raised up a finger as he said to the Nether King seriously.
The Nether King sucked in a breath of cold air. This little youth actually dared to raise the price on the spot. How was there such a shameless person in this world?!
”You are definitely jealous of my handsome appearance!” The Nether King said seriously.
”Twenty thousand crystals for one.” Bu Fang raised up another finger.
The Nether King's heart was wildly trembling. He looked at Nethery, then at Bu Fang with a face of hopelessness.
”You… How could you treat such a handsome man like this? You won't be able to find true love like this,” the Nether King grumbled in resentment.
Bu Fang's mouth twitched, intending to raise another finger.
Jiang Ling who was standing in the distance was unable to watch this any further.
”Venerable… Venerable Lord, I have crystals here, I can lend them to you,” Jiang Ling said.
The Nether King's eyes instantly shone, looking at Jiang Ling in satisfaction.
”This lass knows how to appreciate beauty. Your future prospects are looking good,” the Nether King smiled gently as he said.
”Venerable Lord... I am only lending it to you, you have to remember to return it.” Jiang Ling felt that she had to remind this shameless man, otherwise her twenty thousand crystals would be gone. What's gone would never come back.
At that time, she would only be able to lean against the toilet wall and cry.
The Nether King tapped his chest loudly, making a very reassuring promise to Jiang Ling, that he would definitely return the money. Only then did Jiang Ling pass him the twenty thousand crystals.
Bu Fang accepted the twenty thousand crystals. He looked at the Nether King like he was looking at an idiot, pulled out a Chili Strip that emitted an aroma of fresh spiciness, and passed it over to the Nether King.
The Nether King received the Chili Strip full of joy, smelling the dense fresh spiciness smell that exuded from the dish. He had an intoxicated face. In the next moment, under the stunned faces of the spectators, he stuffed the Chili Strip into his mouth, constantly sucking on it.
Bu Fang looked in shock; the Chili Strip could actually be eaten like that? But why did this posture look so silly?
Nethery's face was indifferent.
”Not bad… The taste really isn't too bad! It's literally too divine, too tasty! The spiciness of the abyss has perfectly fused with the aroma; that type of surging up feeling when swallowed makes this king think of the youth that I once experienced!” The Nether King narrowed his eyes, sucking in intoxication.
Bu Fang, who was slightly speechless at the Nether King, turned his body and continued moving on. The system task this time was to find the True Dragon Fruit in the Heaven Secret Territory.
Furthermore, after finding the True Dragon Fruit, he still needed to complete the assigned advancement dish, cooking the Heaven-Grade Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Soup. The difficulty of this was not small.
The Heaven-Grade Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Soup, being an advancement dish, was the test of Bu Fang for successfully stepping into the Divine Physique Echelon. Only after completing this Heaven-Grade Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Soup, would he have the chance to continue advancing.
If Bu Fang wanted his ability to raise even further, this mission had to be completed.
”I need to find a type of ingredient called the True Dragon Fruit... If you guys want to follow me, then let's go together,” Bu Fang said.
Saying that, he continued on forward. Whitey followed closely behind him, Nethery's long eyelashes fluttered, then she followed up.
The Nether King, seeing that Nethery had left, naturally wouldn't stay at his original spot. He sucked on the Chili Strip while following them.
Jiang Ling, remembering her loan of twenty thousand crystals, also tightly followed after the Nether King.
Hence, this group of people began to slowly move in the Heaven Secret Territory.
The Heaven Secret Territory was extremely huge and vast. The surroundings were all tall mountains. Therefore, finding the True Dragon Fruit was indeed a little difficult.
After walking for quite a while, the burning sun emitted an extremely high warmth. It made the spectators feel their mouth and tongues dry up.
The Nether King happily stuffed a Chili Strip the size of a fingernail into his mouth, and while chewing he looked at Bu Fang curiously.
”Little boy, if you want to find heavenly treasures, then ask Nethery to help. In the secret territory, which heavenly treasure would she not know about?”
Bu Fang froze. Other than eating, Nethery had such a miraculous ability? It was a little unexpected.
Nethery stood at the deck of the Netherworld Ship. The wind whistled as it blew past, causing her black dress to flutter.
She gave Bu Fang a glance, then said expressionlessly, ”In a secret territory, when looking for heavenly treasures, if I'm number two, no one would dare say they are number one,” Nethery was confident.
”Then why didn't you say this earlier,” Bu Fang rolled his eyes.
”You didn't ask,” Nethery lightly replied.
