1310 An Outstanding Bargain! (1/2)
The night was still, and a bright moon hung high in the sky.
The Yellow Spring Little Restaurant in Forbidden Soul City was brightly lit. There were not many people inside, and the leaves of the Path-understanding tree were rustling.
Lord Dog lay under the tree, snoring softly. What came out of his mouth and nose when he breathed was rich Nether energy.
Nethery had gone to You Ji. In addition to borrowing money, she went to chat with her. After all, they were sisters.
This time, Nethery also had to pay for the supreme-grade Yellow Spring Helplessness Wine. She didn't have to pay for other dishes, but the System was very firm that, except for Bu Fang, anyone who wanted to drink the wine would have to pay. It was the same even for those who were close to him, like Lord Dog and Nethery.
Bu Fang wasn't bothered by that, however. With Lord Dog's strength, he could easily find one million Nether Crystals. Moreover, with his nasty nature, he must have dug away the treasures of many experts. He would have no trouble forking out one million Nether Crystals.
As for Nethery… You Ji was her sister, and as a Prison Overlord, she naturally could find one million Nether Crystals. Therefore, Bu Fang didn't get too caught up in this issue.
At the moment, he and Lord Dog were the only people in the restaurant.
Bu Fang held the wine glass and looked with flickering eyes at the supreme-grade Yellow Spring Helplessness Wine in it. He knew that the effect of the wine on him was meager and that it could hardly help him break through, but he still wanted to give it a taste.
”I'll take it as my compensation for making this wine…”
The wine was colorful and bright. Bu Fang brought the glass to his lips and finished it in one gulp.
The first flavor he tasted was spicy, which was so strong that he felt his scalp go numb. In a flash, the heat swept through his whole body like a storm. After that, the richness of the wine exploded.
Initially, he thought a glass of wine was not much, but after he drank it, the tiny stream of wine seemed to swell in an instant, turning into a rushing torrent that surged and rocked in his mouth.
The feeling was hard to describe.
The taste was excellent. It was the best wine Bu Fang had ever drunk. Just the flavor alone was worthy of one million Nether Crystals.
Bu Fang pursed his lips because the bouquet was still lingering in his mouth, and he savored it with a frown on his face, enjoying the taste brought by the wine.
Lord Dog, lying under the Path-Understanding Tree, opened his sleepy eyes and glanced at Bu Fang, who had just downed a glass of wine. An amused look immediately filled his eyes.
Suddenly, Bu Fang's face turned red. He opened his mouth, exhaled softly, and shook his head. For a moment, he felt the world was spinning around him.
Bu Fang sucked in a cold breath. He got up and felt that his body was limp…
When Lord Dog saw Bu Fang's look, he grinned as if he was laughing at him in silence. Of course, Bu Fang, at his current condition, couldn't see Lord Dog's mocking laugh.
Bu Fang felt the world spin around him and saw all kinds of images, which made him widen his eyes. He saw skyscrapers, streets full of traffic, flames that danced in the kitchen when someone was cooking…
The familiar images left him slightly dazed.
'These seem to be the scenes of Earth from my previous life?'
Bu Fang froze for a moment. Then, supporting himself with the walls, he headed upstairs and entered his room. Reeking of alcohol, he crawled up to his bed and fell asleep.
…
The next day, when the sun was high up in the sky and the world was bright, a group of people had gathered in front of the Yellow Spring Little Restaurant. Their eyes were wide as they stared at the tightly shut door and exchanged glances.
These people were all experts of aristocratic families sent here by nearby major powers, and each of them had prepared one Million Nether Crystals to buy a glass of wine. They had waited since early morning, but the restaurant was still closed even though the sun was high up in the sky now.
”What is going on? Why is the restaurant still not open?”
”I thought the restaurant opens six hours a day? Half a day has passed now… Dusk will soon be upon us if it still doesn't open!”
”The owner went back on his word!”
The experts of aristocratic families in front of the restaurant talked noisily with one another. However, no one could figure out what happened. They knocked on the door, but there was no response. They thought of breaking into it, but when they recalled that the restaurant was guarded by the Earth Prison Dog, they gave up the idea.
Everyone was itching to get the wine. Since it could improve the cultivation base of Great Saints, the effect on them, who were all Little Saints, would naturally be even better.
They could only continue to queue up.
As a result, an interesting scene appeared in Forbidden Soul City. The heads of famous aristocratic families from various major cities of Earth Prison could be seen quietly standing in line in front of a little restaurant. When the residents of Forbidden Soul City saw this, they all felt incredulous and kept pointing at them. That made these family heads flush with embarrassment. They had never been watched by people like they were animals! However, for the sake of the wine, they choked back their anger.
They continued to wait. Soon, dusk settled in, and then the moon climbed back up the sky again, shining gently and blanketing the world with a silver light. The family heads, who were still waiting in lines, waved their hands in boredom as they sat cross-legged on the ground.
”Let's leave now… It seems the restaurant will not open today.”
”I wasted my whole day waiting here…”
”He's giving us attitude!”
The heads of aristocratic families were filled with anger, but they had no choice other than to leave the restaurant.
After that, the news in the restaurant had quickly spread through the entire Earth Prison.
…
Rumble!
After one day, the Great Saint Tribulation had gradually come to an end, and the experts of forbidden lands, who had been watching the tribulation, retracted their glances.
…
In the Nether King Palace of Earth Prison…
Nether King Er Ha burst out laughing as he sensed the soaring power in his body. He thought that buying a breakthrough with one million Nether Crystals was an outstanding bargain. 'Bu Fang young man is a fair seller!'
His heart was filled with joy, and he began to search around the Nether King Palace. Before long, he gathered one million Nether Crystals again, and he prepared to buy another glass of wine from Bu Fang.
As for what he did and said when he was drunk… he had selectively forgotten them. He actually woke up wondering why his spicy strips were gone.

In Ying Long's residence…
