Chapter 250 – Deal (2/2)
“However, looking at what happened this time, we never wanted to cause any trouble but trouble came looking for us. Rong Mountain Clan elder Iron Yan forgot about moral sense once he saw the crystal mine, which is still reasonable. Elders from small clans can be shortsighted sometimes, and probably not be able to make decisions upon the long term effects, I can understand why he did those things to us.”
“But, that Ying Yunpeng, hehe, and Prince Xu, hm.” Ji Hao sneered and continued honestly, “People like that are holding high status amongst our humankind.”
Si Xi waved his hand, stared at Ji Hao right in the eye, then slowly glanced at Man Man and the few other kids, then said, “You have got one thing wrong. They’re not holding high status amongst the entire humankind, they’re only powerful amongst their own clans or family. The humankind is not what you think it is.”
“Amongst our humankind, some people indeed value wealth more than moral sense and would betray anyone for their own benefits. These people are jealous, used to turn black into white. If our humankind is a tree, these people are the disgusting insects that are trying to eat us from the roots. However, more people are brave and fearless, willing to risk their own lives for the future of the entire humankind.”
Si Xi then patted hard on Ji Hao’s shoulder and said generously, “Never, ever be disappointed in our humankind, Ji Hao, and the five of you, never give up on your own kind, otherwise, in this cruel world, you might…”
Si Xi pointed at the sky outside, grinned and continued, “You will encounter the darkness, occasionally dark clouds will block your eyesight, but eventually, you will see…”
“You will see me as a warm flame, lighting up the entire sky and bringing light and warmth to countless creatures.” A clear and manly voice abruptly came out from the outside and interrupted Si Xi’s words. Beautiful yet majestic Zhu Rong, wearing his symbolic red cloak, carried a huge cucurbit containing wine, walked into the cabin with big steps.
Once he walked into the room, Zhu Rong threw a heavy slap on Ji Hao’s head and said, “Kid, not bad, you have saved Man Man one more time. I like you more and more. But, you’re still not powerful enough to be my son-in-law. Well, until you have become an invincible one amongst Divine Magi, you're not qualified to be with my daughter.”
Ji Hao let out a few hollow and shaky laughs. He didn’t dared to respond regarding this topic.
To be the son-in-law of the Fire God, Zhu Rong, this was truly a legendary topic for Ji Hao.
And to be the husband of Man Man? Ji Hao glanced at the pair of gigantic hammers, leaning beside Man Man and couldn’t help but quiver intensely. Deep inside his heart, he had only seen Man Man as his little sister. Son-in-law? Zhu Rong, aren’t you being too fast? How old is Man Man? thought Ji Hao.
Zhu Rong sat straight down beside Ji Hao. Man Man instantly raised her tiny and oily hand, grabbed a chicken leg and thrust it into Zhu Rong’s mouth. Zhu Rong laughed aloud and swallowed the entire chicken leg along with the bones, then began talking.
“I blackmailed the old water monster for you. Well, not to mention the others, Ji Hao, in the biggest market in Pu Ban City, you now own ten shops. The Fine Jade Snow Palace, newly built beside the biggest lake of the Pu Ban City, the Divine Light Lake, by that idiot Gong Gong Wuyou, along with eight thousand maids and slaves working in it, now all belong to you.”
Zhu Rong then waved his hand, stopped Ji Hao from talking, then continued, “In three days, you few kinds will head to the Chi Ban Mountain, along with reinforcement send by the Magi Palace.”
“Man Man, you too.” Glancing at Man Man seriously, Zhu Rong continued, “Don’t humiliate our Zhu Rong family.”
Ji Hao, Yu Mu, Feng Xing, and Shaosi immediately straightened their bodies and their face became especially serious. Only Man Man and Taisi were still focused on chewing their chicken, as if nothing important had happened at all.
