772 You Could Play It That Way? (2/2)
Aren't they the same freaking thing?
Everyone's mouths trembled. They didn't know what Xu Que meant.
However, Cang Feng understood Xu Que's underlying message, and so did Mo Lan. Those in their line of business naturally understood what he wanted when they heard his words. While those two words may seem similar, their meanings were entirely different. By explanation, it meant that Xu Que had wanted a statement of the situation. However, demanding an answer was different! It expected an apology as well as compensation!
Swoosh!
Without hesitation, Cang Feng took off his Storage Ring and offered it to Xu Que respectfully, ”Fellow cultivator Xu, this is the entirety of the Grey Ebb Faction's resources. I am willing to offer them all to you as compensation!”
”Hmph! Compensation? Sect Leader Cang, what kind of person do you think I am? What don't we in the Exploding Heavens Faction have? Your little resources mean nothing to us!” Xu Que snorted, his face arrogant.
Then this...this little scum reached out and accepted the storage ring.
Everyone who saw that almost vomited blood.
Oh, hell, this guy was…was still as shameless as ever!
At these words, though, Cang Feng's lips twitched furiously. Cang Feng felt that he understood him. Xu Que must have thought that these compensations were still not enough!
However, what can he do? The massive amount of resources that the Grey Ebb Faction collected by robbing and killing cultivators were all in the storage ring. If even that was not enough, all that was left for him to do was to despair! Wait a minute. There seemed to be more compensation that he could offer! Suddenly, Cang Feng's eyes lit up. He suddenly turned to his wife, Mo Lan.
Swosh!
He moved so fast that his silhouette was almost like a shadow; he charged to the front, dragged Mo Lan up, and then threw her to Xu Que!
As he did that, he pleaded sincerely, ”Fellow cultivator Xu, you and my wife are a match made in heaven. One is handsome, while the other is pretty. I won't fight for her with you anymore. From now on, she's yours!”
”Crap! You sly thief, you actually threw your wife over?” Xu Que glared at him and threw Mo Lan back once he had caught her. Fuming mad, he spit out, ”Come on, let's hurt each other then!”
Huh?
Hurt each other?
What...what did he mean by that?
Stunned, Cang Feng had officially lost track of what Xu Que was saying. Could it be that he was too shy to snatch another man's wife in front of the crowd? Had he wanted to play formalities first and was simply pretending to be courteous? Such thoughts suddenly ran through Cang Feng's mind.
His eyes lit up immediately, and he hollered, ”Fellow Cultivator Xu, only a chosen one like you is fit to own a beauty like Mo Lan! Please, you have to accept her. It's a small gift from me to you!”
After saying that, he garnered his True Core Strength in his palm and threw Mo Lan back over to Xu Que.
”Hmph, with this kind of looks, did you think that she was good enough for my eyes? Take her back. I don't want her!” Xu Que snorted.
He's telling the truth this time!
Mo Lan's supposed beauty was mediocre at best. When talking about prettiness, she's not even comparable to Jiang Hongyan and Zixia Fairy. As for charisma and looks, she's also a far cry from Liu Jingning and Madam Ya. On top of that, she was known for long being promiscuous. How can a boy like Xu Que be greedy over that little bit of prettiness?
So, he rejected her again by throwing her back.
Cang Feng thought that Xu Que meant it the same way as he did for the ring – just a gesture of politeness – so he tossed her back right away.
And so, to everyone's surprise, it quickly became a throwing contest.
You could play it that way?
Can wives be thrown about just like that these days?
During this time, Mo Lan, the lady being thrown around like a ball, was the only one at the brink of breakdown and madness!
If only her true core strength weren't sealed! She would first torture Cang Feng to death, and then, with all her strength, fight Xu Que to death, emptying his body and sucking him dry!
