Capítulo 102: Chapter 101: Wilderness Pursuit 7

The deal was sealed, and Hou Niao, with a smirk that wasn't quite a smile, said, "Daoist Huang, you're not being very sincere, hiding half the good stuff you have on you and showing only the rest.

Daoist Huang gave an awkward smile, "No more, no more, really no more. I swear, if I tell a lie, may the Five Thunders strike me down."

Hou Niao uttered an "Oh," "So that's it. I haven't even taken out my real treasure yet! But since you have no more, let's just call it done, and may we meet again."
