338 This matter was so hard to refuse (2/2)

Was this a coincidence? Or was it calculated ahead of time?

This youth was not a simple person!

Shi Xiaobai immediately felt his fighting spirit stir. It was not going to be easy to eat the stone dragon, but the harder it was to obtain it, the more compelling it was!

Shi Xiaobai was contemplating how he could slaughter the stone dragon that was hundreds of meters in the air with an inclination to fly even higher, under the ‘aloof’ youth’s hands.

At this moment, a shout came from the sky.

“Watch your feet!”

It appeared to be a shout from the youth.

Shi Xiaobai was slightly surprised as he suddenly felt an inkling of danger. He immediately came to a halt, and thankfully, Crab Steps possessed a deceptive trait to it. The level of changes he could do was what most movement techniques could not match, so Shi Xiaobai was able to seemingly violate the principle of inertia as he came to a sudden stop.

After coming to a stop, Shi Xiaobai looked in front of him. In front of him was a wide ravine hundreds of meters across!

The ravine spread through the desolate desert without any end in sight. It looked like endless darkness, and the gap that spanned hundreds of meters was impossible to cross with one’s strength alone.

If not for the youth’s reminder, and Shi Xiaobai’s perception of danger, he might have plunged headlong into the ravine while he was fully focused on the sky.

Shi Xiaobai did not have wings after all. He had no way to forcefully cross a ravine. From the looks of it, he could not succeed in his chase.

The stone dragon seemed to discover this as it raised its head and roared, as though it was cheering how it had finally shaken the human off.

Shi Xiaobai pouted. Food that was nearly in his mouth had flown away. It was infuriating!

Shi Xiaobai immediately felt famished from his anger. Taking out a rock from his pocket, he stuffed it into his mouth and chewed on it.

Hey, this rock was beef-flavored. It had quite a nice chew to it.

Shi Xiaobai began devouring the rocks to vent his anger, secretly swearing to slaughter that stone dragon the next time he encountered it, so as to have a taste of stone dragon meat.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of the wind that echoed above him.

Shi Xiaobai looked up and saw the stone dragon that had already fled return!

Huff, puff….

The stone dragon flew closer and landed beside Shi Xiaobai.

The stone dragon warily watched Shi Xiaobai with great hostility, while on full alert. Clearly, it had flown back reluctantly.

Then, it had to be the youth on the dragon’s back that flew back because of something?

Indeed, the youth’s voice was immediately heard from the stone dragon’s back.

“This brother, can I buy some food from you?”

The youth leaped from the stone dragon’s back and stared at Shi Xiaobai with burning eyes.

Shi Xiaobai found it somewhat amusing.

He was planning on eating the stone dragon the youth was riding, but now, the youth was trying to buy food from him?

What food did he have to offer?

But seeing how the youth had warned him to watch his feet despite it being superfluous when it came to him, the youth did not appear to be someone wicked. As such, there was no reason for Shi Xiaobai to give him a stinky face.

Shi Xiaobai shook his head and said, “Sorry, This King does not have any food to sell.”

The youth’s eyebrows pricked up, clearly unaccustomed with Shi Xiaobai’s way of addressing himself. However, he quickly pointed his fingers at the rock in Shi Xiaobai’s hand and said with a laugh, “Isn’t that food? You must have quite a lot in your pockets.”

The rock in Shi Xiaobai’s hand had been bitten through halfway. Regardless of who it was, the rock looked like food that resembled a rock, if not, how could anyone eat it?

But Shi Xiaobai knew very clearly that the rock was not really food, but because there was a problem with his body. He could only say, “Sorry, this is not food, but a rock.”

The youth frowned slightly and seemed somewhat unhappy. He said, “Brother, the thing seems like a rock, but the both of us know that it’s actually rock cake, a famous delicacy in the capital. I have not eaten for some time now, and I’m having a craving suddenly after seeing it. If you can’t bear to part with it, just say so directly. Why is there a need to give such a lame excuse? I saw you eat a few of the rock cakes with my own eyes. The one in your hand is bitten halfway. Are you telling me that you are eating rocks?”

Shi Xiaobai fell silent. Indeed, he was eating nothing other than rocks.

But if he said so, the youth would probably believe that he was treating him for a fool.

Shi Xiaobai could only shake his head and said, “It’s really a rock.”

Shi Xiaobai was reluctant to scam others. After all, the youth had warned him to be careful.

The youth sighed and said, “Are you willing to sell a slice of rock cake for 100,000 bucks?”

Shi Xiaobai was slightly taken aback.

The youth immediately stretched out two fingers, “200,000?”

Shi was somewhat startled, unsure of a response.

“300,000?”

The youth said with a heavy tone, “A million. A million to buy a slice of that rock cake. How about it?”

Shi Xiaobai felt helpless.

Spending a million to buy a rock…

Sigh, this matter was so hard to refuse!
