Boss, Are the Sisters Still Here?

"Hey, Young Master Xiao Yang, aren't you going to take your egg?" Xian He deliberately shouted.

With Xiao Kuang backing him up, Xiao Yang didn't dare do anything to him.

Hearing Xian He's teasing voice, Xiao Yang's heart seethed with extreme hatred. His footsteps quickened involuntarily. He clenched his fists so tightly that he didn't even notice his fingernails piercing his palms.

"I originally wanted to let you live a little longer, dog. Since you're actively seeking death, don't blame me!" Xiao Yang's eyes were as sharp and vicious as a king cobra's.

How dare he team up with that scoundrel Xiao Kuang to toy with him? It didn't matter how delicious the food was; he was dead!

After getting far away from the porridge shop, Xiao Yang coldly ordered, "Li Zhen, go immediately and notify Xiao Hou. Tell him the target has appeared!"

"Yes!" Li Zhen responded, returning the money bag to Xiao Yang. He then bolted off like a wild dog off its leash.

Porridge Shop.

After driving Xiao Yang away, Xiao Kuang unceremoniously bought all of Xian He's dishes.

"Here are three thousand Copper Coins. No need for change!" Xiao Kuang generously handed over three strings of coins.

Xian He only took two strings, returning the remaining one to Xiao Kuang.

"Big brother, I haven't had a chance to thank you for the last time you helped me. Now you're giving me so much more money, I don't know how to thank you. How about this: come early tomorrow, and I'll give you a surprise for free. I guarantee you'll like it," Xian He said mysteriously.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Kuang, father and son, had helped him so much. It was only right to give them a few Crystal Pomegranates. Besides, they had too many at home to eat.

"Alright, I'll definitely be here early tomorrow," Xiao Kuang agreed.

"Let's go, little brother!"

"Let's go, Old Man!"

Xiao Kuang took the paper bag, slung the sack over his shoulder, and walked away with a swagger.

Old Man Yun sidled up and said softly from behind Xian He, "That brat Xiao Kuang is always hitting and scolding people, but I didn't expect him to be so good to you."

"I am a rare talent crucial for revitalizing the Sky Fortune Tribe, so it's only natural for him to be good to me," Xian He turned around and said righteously. "Oh, right, where's the money from the boiled eggs? Give it to me, I need to buy something."

"Buy what? If we have it at the shop, you can just take it. Don't spend money buying it again," Old Man Yun asked, puzzled, as he untied the money bag from his belt.

"We don't have it at the shop, I have to buy it with money!" Xian He snatched the money bag and ran off like a gust of wind.

Old Man Yun frowned, his brow furrowed, and muttered, "That brat took so much money, what exactly is he going to buy?"

The three thousand Copper Coins from Xiao Kuang, plus the twelve hundred Copper Coins he had given, added up to four thousand two hundred Copper Coins.

"Hey! Old Man, hurry up and serve the porridge! We've been waiting forever!"

"Yeah! If you delay any longer, the Wood Powder Porridge will get cold!"

The customers grumbled.

"Just a moment, coming right up!" Old Man Yun scooped the black mud shells from the table into a dirt box and hurried towards the kitchen.

A courtyard in the eastern part of Sky Fortune Tribe.

Li Zhen ran to the door and knocked.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Li Zhen served as a scout in the Blazing Sun Hunting Team. Running was his greatest skill; ordinary Obsidian grade demonic beasts couldn't catch him.

Therefore, it only took him less than a cup of tea's time to get from receiving the order to arriving at Xiao Hou's place.

"Creak!"

A moment later, the courtyard gate opened a crack, and Xiao Hou poked his head out slyly.

"What is it?"

Li Zhen panted, "Quick! Xian He has appeared, he's at the porridge shop. Let's move!"

"Wait a moment, I need to change." Xiao Hou closed the courtyard gate.

When the gate opened again, Xiao Hou was wrapped up like a zongzi.

"Wait for my good news!"

Xiao Hou patted Li Zhen's shoulder and hurried away.

Li Zhen stared at Xiao Hou's receding figure, stunned for a long moment, then suddenly mumbled, "Has... has he met Xian He before?"

Xiao Hou walked towards the porridge shop, and Xian He walked towards the slave market. Neither knew the other. They bumped into each other and passed by.

Xiao Hou was on an assassination mission and didn't dare to run, fearing it would be too conspicuous and someone would recognize him.

Even without running, he attracted a lot of attention dressed like a zongzi.

He had originally intended to conceal his muscles and skin's luster so no one would recognize him as a Yellow Radiance grade Martial Artist, but he ended up being counterproductive.

Normally, he carried out his missions at night. He rarely took missions during the day, so he was very unaccustomed to it.

Just as he feared, as he was walking, Xiao Hou encountered the Sky Fortune Tribe's security patrol.

"Hey! What are you doing wearing a mask in broad daylight?" The captain drew his saber and pointed it at Xiao Hou.

Xiao Hou didn't dare to talk to him and turned to run!

"Stop! Chase them!" The captain led a group of team members, flanking them from front and back.

The patrol captain was a Yellow Radiance grade Martial Artist, and the patrol members were all White Obsidian grade Martial Artists. Xiao Hou didn't dare to underestimate them and fled at full speed.

The two sides chased and fled, running all the way out of the Sky Fortune Tribe.

Outside the slave market.

Xian He found a secluded, deserted spot and brought Grandma Chen out of the Mountain River Society Diagram.

The money from selling wood powder last time, plus the money from selling chicken this time, added up to five thousand Copper Coins, enough to buy five slaves.

Xian He helped Grandma Chen walk towards the slave market.
