Chapter 213: Boss (1/2)
Alex walked along the river once more, but couldn't find any yang jades anymore. He had washed the yang jade and kept it in his new robes and hoped that he didn't lose it. How he wished he could use a storage bag right now.
Seeing that there was nothing in the area, he walked towards the cliff to gather some fruit to eat. He was after all starting to get really hungry. When he reached the cliff, there were very few people there, only 3 at most.
”Are they all asleep right now?” he wondered. It was late into the night and their mortal bodies probably couldn't handle the fatigue all they, so they had gone to rest for the day. As for these people awake right now, they probably hadn't had anything to eat all day and were really hungry.
Alex was hungry too, so he could understand their sentiment. He picked up a stone from the ground and targeted one of the branches with multiple pears. He arched his arm back and released the stone with a massive swing.
He hadn't used his full power, and yet the stone made a swish sound in the night, very audibly. Unfortunately, he missed.
”Look out for the stone coming down,” he cautioned them. It was especially hard to see the stones now in the moonlight when they were moving really fast. Once Alex heard the stone fall somewhere behind him, he picked another one and threw it up.
He had to throw a couple of times to accurately hit the branch that was over 50 meters high above him, and even then, only 1 butterfly pear fell down towards him.
He caught it and bit into it. Once more, juicy sweet nectar slid down his throat. He just couldn't get enough of it. The 3 disciples around him looked at him in envy, at the fact that he had only just arrived and was already eating something.
They directed their anger towards the fruit and started throwing the stones harder. Alex could hear both the grunts and the growls the 3 disciples were doing.
He ignored them and focused on hitting more of the fruits. After a few more tries, he managed to hit the branch once more and two more fruits fell down gently.
He caught both of them and started eating another one. His hunger was starting to be satisfied, but the taste of the pears was so good that he started to want to overeat them.
The other 3 disciples were more than just jealous now, they were subconsciously thinking of how to get the food from him. Alex saw that too. So, before they could do anything, he spoke.
”I have an extra fruit here, and I am willing to trade it,” he said.
”Trade?” the three disciples made a weird expression. ”We can't access our storage bags, how do you want us to trade?” they asked.
”Simple,” Alex said as he brought out a Yang jade and showed it to them. ”If you can find me one of these, I can give you this fruit,” he said.
The disciples looked at each other for a few seconds, making an awkward atmosphere, and then violently started laughing. ”HAHAHAHA, What? Are you trying to be the boss?” they said with tears in their eyes from laughing too much.
