Under Ren Ye's insistent questioning, Xu Bangzi vividly recounted how he and Apu had been fleeced for the first time. The experience had been full of twists and turns, and the outcome had been utterly miserable. Everyone really did try to suppress their feelings after hearing it, but in the end, they still laughed out loud.
Barely holding back his laughter, Daoist Chu offered a sincere suggestion. "Brothers, I know... asking you to spend another four and a half million to buy back those three route passes now... is a little cruel. But there are only a little over two days left before Myriad Spirits Mountain opens its prefecture... How about this? Be good, stop eating, and go find that crook in the West Tower Bustling District now. You should still have time."
"Remember to haggle," Yin Tiger added nastily, twisting the knife. "You're both regular customers of his, after all. He ought to do you that favor. Knocking three or five thousand star source off the price... shouldn't be a problem."
"Bang!"
Enraged by those words, Xu Bangzi slammed the table. "I, Xu Bangzi, can lose money in business, and I can get outplayed, but I absolutely cannot let my opponent realize... that I really am a fucking idiot! This is a matter of dignity! I'm definitely not buying those three route passes again unless someone gives them to me."
"Ah."
Little Bad King let out a long sigh. He had wanted to persuade Apu and Xu Bangzi to buy those three route passes back, ensuring three people could enter the Myriad Spirits Garden secret realm with him. But as he lifted his wine cup and turned his head, he discovered that Apu already wore an expression that said, "Laugh again and I'll hang myself."
*Forget it, forget it...
