"Let's say what happened just now was my fault. If you let me go, I'll leave immediately. What do you think?"
Seeing Su Xian's punchable face, the man was furious inside. But considering his current situation, he could only force out a smile and back down.
"Since you were wrong, shouldn't you show some sincerity?" Su Xian asked with an innocent smile.
The man: ...
Damn it! Was he the robber, or was Su Xian?!
Hearing the word "sincerity," Qian Renxue's face immediately flushed red, as though she had thought of something inappropriate for children again.
"Little brother, here are thirty thousand gold coins. Consider it my apology. What do you say?"
The man felt like crying. If he had known this would happen, why had he gone looking for trouble? Now he had failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice besides!
"Only thirty thousand gold coins? What a broke loser!" Su Xian snapped irritably.
He had thought this guy was some Notorious Bandit-level figure, the kind swimming in money. Who would have thought he was such a worthless thing!
A Soul King with only thirty thousand gold coins!
How could he even have the nerve to keep hanging around Heaven Dou City? No wonder he had fallen so low as to become a robber!
Pah!
The man: ...!
Damn it!
Broke your sister! You still thought thirty thousand gold coins was too little?!
The man had already greeted Su Xian's entire family in his heart.
Yet on the surface, he put on a kind and approachable expression, looking exactly like an honest man.
Su Xian: !!
Holy crap! You were trying to show off your acting skills in front of me?
Didn't you know I graduated from New Oriental? Oscar still owed me a hundred little gold statues?!
With contempt filling his eyes, Su Xian flicked a finger, and the array opened a gap about a ruler thick.
"Throw it out!" Su Xian said with a look of disgust.
Seeing the gap, the man immediately despaired. A man had to bow his head under someone else's roof. He obediently passed out the Black Gold Card.
The man wore a fawning smile. "Little brother, can you let me go now?"
"Let you go! Of course I'll let you go. I've always kept my word!"
Su Xian spoke righteously, then abruptly changed his tone. "Not only will I let you go, I'll even send you home for free."
"That won't be necessary. Just let me go."
Seeing Su Xian suddenly become so foolishly kind, the man instead grew uneasy and hurriedly waved his hands.
He clearly remembered how he had fallen into the trap just now. This guy in front of him was definitely a sinister, scheming bastard!
Su Xian frowned. "You don't appreciate my kindness?"
"Then... let's do as you say." The man was so aggrieved that his voice choked up.
"That's more like it!"
Su Xian nodded in satisfaction, then tossed a Black Wooden Box inside. The red numbers on it were ticking down.
30!
29!
"After thirty seconds, this array will open."
After saying that, Su Xian immediately grabbed Qian Renxue and swiftly left, leaving the man utterly bewildered.
Staring at the wooden box before him, suspicion filled the man's eyes. Especially when he sensed Soul Power flowing within it, he became increasingly uneasy.
Meanwhile, Su Xian had already taken Qian Renxue far away.
Su Xian naturally could not afford mercy to someone who had tried to rob him of Soul Bones. The guy had wanted to cripple his limbs, and Su Xian was supposed to let him run away?!
As for robbing him of his wealth?
That was even more impossible. Wealth was not all he had—it was his life!
Several thousand gold coins for a Soul Bone!
A few gold coins for a Level 5 Soul Tool!
One gold coin for a Godly Zhuge Crossbow!
So, what he hated most now were robbers. His guiding principle in life was...
No life, no money!
Seeing Su Xian still looking so pleased with himself, Qian Renxue became annoyed and asked with some heartache, "That array just now was pretty powerful. You're just throwing it away like that?"
The array's effect was excellent. Even a Soul King using his full strength could not break it.
And now, it had simply been tossed aside?!
That was far too wasteful!!
Hearing this, Su Xian casually shook the Black Gold Card in his hand. "Didn't we earn it back? That array can only defend against a Soul Emperor's attacks. Its quality and effect are too poor, so there's no use keeping it."
The array was called the Six Star Array. It was a single-use consumable that sold for only twenty gold coins in the system.
Yet he had earned thirty thousand gold coins from it. Wasn't that an off-the-charts return rate?
After this incident, Su Xian also understood that making money was too troublesome. Robbing money was much faster.
Hmm!
So, should he carry a few Level 9 Fixed Soul Cannons to the Papal Hall for a stroll??
Maybe his mother-in-law, Bibi Dong, would pity him and not let him get hurt from firing cannons, generously giving him a few hundred million Gold Soul Coins as New Year's money.
Hiss~
What a good idea!!
He truly was a genius!
But...
Why did it feel like he was courting death?
It was like... carrying nuclear bombs to the United States to rob a bank?
Emmm...
Meanwhile, upon hearing that the array could defend against a Soul Emperor's attacks, Qian Renxue's eyes immediately turned red with anger, and she gritted her teeth.
That array was a treasure, yet he had simply thrown it away!
Wasteful bastard, didn't we agree that I'd manage the household?!
"What's wrong?"
Noticing that something was off with Qian Renxue's expression, Su Xian felt a chill down his back and timidly asked.
"How many more arrays like that do you have?" Qian Renxue asked through gritted teeth.
"Mmm... Can I not answer?" Su Xian pondered.
"No!"
Qian Renxue rejected it outright. It would be better to keep good things with her. Otherwise, they would definitely all be squandered away.
Seeing how resolute Qian Renxue was, Su Xian checked his Storage Ring and System Space before slowly saying:
"Arrays like the one just now... I probably still have more than five hundred."
"More than five hundred?!"
Her eyes widened sharply. Qian Renxue felt her mind go blank, as if her soul had been stripped from her body. Her body went limp beyond her control.
"Oh dear—wife, are you okay?! Wife!"
Su Xian hurriedly caught Qian Renxue, his expression immediately turning tense.
Boom!
At that moment, sparks suddenly shot into the sky, followed by a violent explosion like thunder.
Qian Renxue was startled awake as well. Looking toward the towering flames, she immediately understood.
Her face was somewhat pale, as if she had suffered a tremendous fright. Qian Renxue stared at him in shock. "You just said... you have more than five hundred of those arrays?!"
"Mhm, mhm!" Su Xian hurriedly nodded.
"Wife, what are you doing?"
Su Xian looked at Qian Renxue's outstretched hand in confusion.
"I want them!" Qian Renxue declared righteously.
Su Xian: ...
Ahem~ We're still out on the street. Couldn't we go back first?!
After briefly letting his mind wander, Su Xian understood what Qian Renxue meant and asked with some heartache, "Wife, how many do you want?"
Seeing how agreeable Su Xian was, Qian Renxue directly raised five fingers, her expression unwavering.
"Wuwuwu~ Wife, you're too greedy! You're asking for five hundred right away!"
Su Xian was on the verge of tears. This was too heartless. They were his life!
"Pfft... Fifty is enough."
Seeing Su Xian's mournful expression without the slightest anger, Qian Renxue shed her icy demeanor and smiled sweetly.
"You should've said so earlier. You made my heart pound nonstop!" Su Xian said in a coquettish, reproachful tone, raising an orchid finger.
Qian Renxue: ...
