Chapter 691: Classic! (1/2)
Throughout the day, the line of people going to sign up for the Jackdaw’s killing crusade never ceased. Everyone knew that the higher the risk, the higher the rewards. At the same time, they were aware that chasing those rewards could take their lives, but courage and desire sometimes could allow one to overcome that invisible fear.
When something had not been witnessed, people never knew how terrifying it was and if it could really bring them down…
Today, Bai Xiaofei only did one thing – accompany the Leng triplets to go shopping! Of course, the girls were the ones paying…
The triplets had never expected such a day when the Holy Snow Mountain could be so prosperous. The more they witnessed, the more they realized the allure of benefits to human beings.
“When are you going to tell us what you figured out last night?” Leng Liuying pouted as she stared fixedly at Bai Xiaofei, ready to get angry if she didn’t get an answer out of him. She had already forgotten how many times she had asked the same question today.
“Forget it, Liuying, just give up. Don’t you know him? If he doesn’t want to talk, even pliers can’t pry open his lips.” Leng Liushuang placed a piece of Leng Liuying’s favorite fish into the latter’s bowl. Like the Ice Pear, this fish was a specialty found only in the Snow Kingdom.
Leng Liuying showed the perfect example of ‘food could block a person’s mouth’ as she no longer bothered with Bai Xiaofei.
“Enjoy every second of this. After we re-enter the mountain tomorrow, who knows how long we will be before we are able to come out,” Bai Xiaofei tried to act all mysterious as the speed of him putting food in his mouth soared.
“Boss, three servings of every dish we just ordered!” His mouth still stuffed, Bai Xiaofei raised his hand and shouted, once again shocking all and sundry with his cosmic appetite…
Sure enough, food was more delicious when one was not paying!
Night fell. The triplets had gone to bed early while Bai Xiaofei was drinking alone in the hall.
The place gradually emptied out as the guests left in batches, returning to their rooms either to recharge or to start deeper indulgences, but Bai Xiaofei still had no intention to leave.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open and five familiar figures poured into the inn along with the wind and snow.
“Ahh! Honored guests, you really came at a…”
“We are here to find someone.”
The waiter hadn’t finished his words when the deep voice of the group leader interrupted him. His eyes scanned the hall before locking on the corner where Bai Xiaofei sat. His resolute face immediately looked troubled.
With Bai Xiaofei present, he really couldn’t act tough.
Well, you are not a stranger. You are an enemy…
Despite complaining in their hearts, A’First’s group still sat down around Bai Xiaofei’s table. After all, they had to be obedient when their entire possessions were in someone else’s hands!
“We have arranged everything you asked us to. Shouldn’t we get what belongs to us now?” asked A’First said with a solemn face, looking like he didn’t want to say even one unnecessary word to Bai Xiaofei…
“Why are you in such a hurry? This Snow Milk Wine is still hot. Are you sure you don’t want a sip?”
Letting down people’s wishes seemed to be Bai Xiaofei’s greatest pleasure. The more you wanted something, the more he wouldn’t give it to you. You don’t want to talk to him? He’d drag the conversation all around the world while avoiding the main topic.
