Kapitel 44: Money Loving Paimon
Zhongli wasn't a soul master; to him, soul bones were just like antiques, valuable only for collection.
Antiques with years of history were filled with stories.
Similarly, soul bones with years of history were also filled with stories.
"I knew it, you definitely wouldn't make a mistake!" Paimon said proudly, hands on her hips.
While Zhongli might make mistakes with other things, when it came to stones...
He was the Geo Archon, after all!
In this area, Paimon had absolute trust in Zhongli.
"If we sell this soul bone, how many gold soul coins could we get?" Paimon asked, her eyes gleaming with gold and her hands rubbing together in anticipation.
Hearing this, Zhongli's eye twitched, and he glanced at the little one with some exasperation.
Why sell it when they didn't lack gold soul coins?
Even if he had no gold soul coins, he wouldn't easily sell an "antique."
"If we leave this stone unopened, perhaps a thousand years later, it might form new life."
"Life is priceless. Why sell it for a useless soul bone?"
"We might witness the birth of new life from a stone. Isn't that more meaningful than selling it?"
Rubbing Paimon's head, Zhongli spoke gently.
Hearing this, Paimon was confused. She felt Zhongli's words made sense, yet something seemed off.
Could it be that they bought the stone just to let it give birth to life?
And then what?
They wouldn't gain anything!
However, Paimon couldn't refute Zhongli's words. As he said, perhaps a thousand years later, the stone might give birth to new life...
The birth of life was more precious than any material enjoyment.
Paimon nodded thoughtfully. Since they didn't lack money, they could just leave it be for now.
Stone: "..."
You're still thinking about me, aren't you?
When mentioning the soul bone, Zhongli looked at Paimon and thought about his collection.
Even without this stone, he already had several soul bones in his collection.
Among them, three were hundred-thousand-year soul bones.
A hundred-thousand-year Sky Blue Bull Python left arm bone.
A hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape right arm bone.
A hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone.
The latter was compensation from Tang Hao!
Only hundred-thousand-year soul bones were equivalent to hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, which was why he took out this soul bone.
Besides these three hundred-thousand-year soul bones, there was also a ten-thousand-year soul bone given by Ning Fengzhi.
Any one of these soul bones could stir up the Douluo Continent!
But to Zhongli, they were just suitable collectibles.
"Then let's put it in our collection first. If it doesn't give birth to life later, we can sell it then!"
Zhongli: "..."
Little Paimon is so smart, with a great business mind.
Speaking of which, Zhongli was also known as the God of Commerce.
Time passed, and before they knew it, it was the next day.
At dawn, two figures appeared on the streets of Heaven Dou City, limping along.
In the faint light, their pale faces could be seen, but they wore smiles filled with memories.
"Fatty, I didn't expect you to be so strong!"
"Boss Dai, you're not bad either!"
These two were Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, who had left the academy yesterday.
Supporting each other, they walked unsteadily but couldn't hide the smiles on their faces. It was indeed a joyful experience.
Dai Mubai, despite having escaped from the Star Luo Empire, was not short on money. With a monthly allowance of one hundred gold soul coins from Spirit Hall, he was well-off.
Last night, he and Ma Hongjun rented out a venue for the whole night, and their wild time lasted until dawn. For Ma Hongjun, this level of intensity was nothing; due to his martial soul, he was naturally full of energy, many times more than the average person. If he didn't release the evil fire, he might very well explode and die. Today's session should last him at least a month.
"No wonder Heaven Dou City is so impressive. The costs may be high, but the service here is much better than in Sotou City."
"I once fought with that unhappy fellow over a woman..."
Although Sotou City was a main city and one of significant importance, but compared to Heaven Dou City, it was like comparing a small fry to a giant, utterly incomparable.
"As long as you're willing to spend gold soul coins, isn't this much more enjoyable than facing that cold woman?"
A trace of pain flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, pretending to be genuinely happy.
You're not truly happy; your smile is just a facade...
"Boss Dai, if you ask me, you should just give up on Zhu Zhuqing. She's not right for you."
"She's always so cold; neither of you are happy."
"Aren't Little Red, Little Green, and Little Blue much better?"
"Or maybe even Wang Gang... no, forget it. Anyway, as your brother, I feel that being with Zhu Zhuqing will never bring you true happiness."
"Ever since she came to Shrek Academy, you've changed completely. You're like a dog!"
Ma Hongjun didn't care about Dai Mubai's expression. It was only because they were brothers that he spoke like this; he wouldn't bother saying such things to outsiders.
His words were harsh and direct, but he genuinely had Dai Mubai's best interests at heart.
"Like a dog?"
Dai Mubai's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Ma Hongjun.
"Yeah, you're always following Zhu Zhuqing around, but she doesn't even throw you a bone."
Hearing this, Dai Mubai fell into deep thought. Thinking carefully, it did seem to be true.
When Zhu Zhuqing arrived, he felt guilty for his past actions towards her and stopped contacting all those other women. Such a significant change, yet Zhu Zhuqing remained indifferent, which frustrated him greatly.
A man out in the world, what's wrong with having a bit of fun? Did he, Dai Mubai, do something wrong? Even if he did, he changed! But Zhu Zhuqing just wouldn't let it go!
Not only that, she even went to a hotel with that other man!
Just the thought of it made Dai Mubai's scalp tingle and his whole body feel uncomfortable.
"Zhu Zhuqing..."
"Fatty, you're right. I must go back to the way I was before. As for Zhu Zhuqing, she can go to hell!"
Dai Mubai suddenly shouted, as if he had come to a realization.
What could he do? Fight Zhongli to the death?
"That's the spirit, boss!"
Ma Hongjun patted Dai Mubai on the shoulder with a satisfied look on his face.
"Just pretend she doesn't exist; you'll definitely go back to being as happy as you were before!"
"Alright!"
The two exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
Everything was understood without words.
"Could Mubai be led astray by Hongjun?"
From a nearby corner, a middle-aged man with glasses muttered, "Maybe, maybe not?"
