The female cultivator said sullenly, âWhy doesnât the lady allow Master to marry other women?â
Zhang He waved his hand and said, âItâs none of our business. We only need to protect Xiao Jinting.â Zhang He thought his master was weak in front of his wife. As a result, the sons of the concubines died one after another.
The female cultivator said reluctantly, âWhy should we protect Xiao Jinting? The lady wonât let off the young master. Why donât we just let Xiao Jinting be killed?â
Zhang He shook his head. âMaster had a few fights with the lady on Tianyiâs account. If Xiao Jinting dies easily, the lady will suspect.â
â¦
In a flying ship heading to the Middle District from the Lower District.
Long Jingtian glared at Xiao Xiaojin and said sullenly, âWhy ticket did you get me? There are cabins of first-class, second-class, and third-class. You failed to get me a third-class ticket. Instead, you bought me a corner cabin. How dare you?â
Xiao Xiaojin looked at Long Jingtian helplessly. âYou gave me only two million pieces of Immortal Crystal and asked me to buy two tickets. This is the best I could do.â
Xiao Xiaojin rubbed his forehead and felt desperate. What could he do when the tickets were incredibly expensive?
Long Jingtian said in anger, âWhatâs wrong that I asked you to buy two tickets? Do you want to leave me behind hungry in such a damn place as the Lower District? You are dreaming.â
Xiao Xiaojin looked at Long Jingtian and said, âYou wonât starve yourself. Canât you eat raw food?â
âI donât like uncooked food. I want something delicious. I want to eat meat, cake, tarts, ice cream, and jellyâ¦â
Xiao Xiaojin thought, âYou look ferocious. Donât you feel ashamed that you have a sweet tooth?â
However, he had to explain patiently because Long Jingtian paid for the tickets. âThe tickets are too expensive. One seat in the corner cabin costs one million pieces of Immortal Crystal, and two seats cost two million.â
Long Jingtian pinched his nose and said with disgust, âItâs smelly here. Itâs killing me.â
Xiao Xiaojin looked at him and consoled, âYou are staying here for a while. It soon will pass.â
Long Jingtian pulled a long face as though everyone owed him one million pieces of Immortal Crystal.
Xiao Xiaojin leaned to Long Jingtian and said, âNo pains, no gains. Master, have you heard of this old saying?â
Long Jingtian shook his head. âNo. Who said that? I will kill him.â
Xiao Xiaojin was speechless.
Long Jingtian said resentfully, âWhat a shabby place! I donât think there are worse seats than this.â
Xiao Xiaojin said disapprovingly, âYou are wrong. I heard that there were cheaper tickets, but they were sold out when I bought the tickets. The cheaper tickets are too popular.â
Long Jingtian said sullenly, âI donât believe itâ¦â
Xiao Xiaojin said lightly, âWhy not? I believe it.â
Long Jingtian gritted his teeth and cursed, âWhat an idiot! Do you know that you were fooled?â
Xiao Xiaojin was lost for words.
Suddenly, a stout man standing near them said solemnly, âHey, you, come out.â
Long Jingtian looked at the man sullenly and asked, âWhatâs up?â
The man held his head high and said seriously, âMy boss likes your seats. You get out of there.â
Long Jingtian widened his eyes. âWhat?â
He looked back at Xiao Xiaojin and roared angrily, âWhat have you done? The cabin you bought is so shabby, but someone wants to grab it.â
Xiao Xiaojin smiled dryly. âI was right. Although our cabin is shabby, there are worse cabins. Otherwise, they wonât come to snatch our seats.â
Long Jingtian was speechless.
