Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 556: Upset Stomach

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Shu had thought that they would get into a fight upon meeting. But they had slowly started to peacefully get along with each other. This made Lu Shu rather surprised.

There were people who said that the relationship between Li Yixiao and Nalan Que would not rekindle. Lu Shu absolutely did not believe this!

But this was a slightly awkward situation. Nalan Que was also a representative of one of the families they wanted to do business with. They could not possibly discuss business face to face with Nalan Que, right?

Lu Shu knocked on the door and walked in. Nalan Que glared at him as he entered. Although she knew that he had shown mercy when they fought the previous time, this did not stop her from bearing grudges.

The grudge that Nalan Que bore was not because Lu Shu had attacked her. It was because Lu Shu had punched Li Yixiao!

Lu Shu glanced at Li Yixiao’s work desk. Two large bags of snacks were laid out on the table. They seemed to have been bought from the supermarket.

Lu Shu was curious whether Nalan Que had bought these for Li Yixiao. It felt as if the two of them were dating once again...

“Ahem,” Li Yixiao said to Nalan Que slightly awkwardly. “Do you want to go back first?”

Nalan Que did not stay for long. She glanced at Li Yixiao and said, “The two of you, discuss what you have to discuss. The Nalan family will fight fairly with the rest of the families.”

With that, she turned and left. This time, she was representing her family. Thus, she did not request for an advantage in this deal because of her relationship with Li Yixiao.

Lu Shu felt that Nalan Que was a very logical person. But she was constantly at odds with Li Yixiao, it might simply be because they were just not fated for each other.

Li Yixiao waited for Nalan Que to leave before asking, “Representatives from six families are coming this time. Are you certain that you will earn so much money?”

Lu Shu laughed. “No worries.”

Li Yixiao muttered, “My stomach is not feeling good. I can’t digest the large pancake that you made for me. Just don’t mess up when the time comes. Shi Xuejin even came to warn me yesterday!”

“Your stomach is not feeling good?” Lu Shu was dumbfounded. “You, a Class B expert, and your stomach is poor?”

“I don’t know why either. I have suffered from diarrhea from a young age. Back then, I didn’t make it in time to use tissue paper, so I used talismans instead,” Li Yixiao said as he dug through the plastic bag of snacks on his table.

He took out a pack of cranberry biscuits and passed it to Lu Shu. “Here. From that crazy woman.”

Lu Shu opened the bag and ate one biscuit. It was not bad. He then looked helplessly as Li Yixiao opened a bag of snacks and took out the small pack of drying agent. Li Yixiao then evenly coated his biscuit with the drying agent. He even curiously looked at Lu Shu while doing so. “Do you not add seasoning to your biscuit?”

Lu Shu fell silent. “... it’s fine. I prefer it this way.”

Were you eating a dried noodle snack? Did you have to add seasoning? Don’t you think that the taste is off?!

As expected of the physique of Practitioners. He was lucky to only suffer from diarrhea. That stuff was fatal if ingested by others...

Lu Shu suddenly solved the mystery of Li Yixiao’s stomach. But why had no one reminded him not to eat that? Lu Shu suddenly felt that something was not right. Nalan Que was together with Li Yixiao from morning to night and how could she not know? She did not remind Li Yixiao either.

Lu Shu looked inside the plastic bag and realized that all the snacks had a drying agent...

She wasn’t here to court him and send snacks. Evidently, she still had some grievances towards Li Yixiao. She knew his habits too. Thus, she had intentionally sent these snacks to harm Li Yixiao! It was as if she was clearly stating. Come! If you hurt me, I’ll hurt you back!

Lu Shu shivered in fear. Women were frighteningly vicious!

“Although that crazy woman has a short temper, she still treats me well. She sent me snacks even after knowing that I am at the black market,” Li Yixiao laughed as he praised Nalan Que.

“As long as you’re happy...” Lu Shu secretly put back the biscuit...

Lu Shu really wanted to meet Nalan Que’s grandmother. He just wanted to know the demeanor of the nobility. At the same time, he wanted to ask for advice regarding horoscopes...

Li Yixiao ran to the toilet after less than half an hour. As he ran, he muttered in puzzlement, “This is strange. I’ve been taking special care of my stomach recently.”

Lu Shu sat alone in the office and pondered. This time, six families had come. According to Li Yixiao, it was not a problem for each family to take in a few thousand magical stones. Although the price of magical stones had been inflated, the families would still likely be willing to pay a certain price in order to gain control of this black market.

The problem was, he could not sell the magical stones to each family one by one. He had to do it all at the same time!

There was definitely some level of communication between the families. If the family that had bought the magical stones first leaked information to the rest of the families, then it was likely that Lu Shu would have no choice but to slowly sell the remaining magical stones he had.

Li Yixiao had intentionally urged the families again and again that they could bring mythical objects or training resources to exchange for the magical stones. Lu Shu certainly wanted to strengthen his and Lu Xiaoyu’s power.

Lu Shu felt that this was not a loss for the families either. If he did not put up the magical stones for sale, they would not have been able to get their hands on so many stones. But he felt that the families would likely be unhappy with the process and result.

But it did not matter. Lu Shu felt that they would eventually understand his earnest thoughts.

What time the negotiation would take place had not been decided. The families were waiting for Li Yixiao and Lu Shu to contact them. On the other hand, Li Yixiao and Lu Shu wanted to see how patient these families were.

As more and more Practitioners came to Luo City, the flow of people into the black market also increased steadily. In order to cater for this demand, Li Yixiao personally brought the secret practitioners to dig up a few more bomb shelters...

These bomb shelters were filled with abandoned construction materials. No one was willing to clean up the mess. In the end, Li Yixiao did it all by himself...

Lu Shu earned 99% of the shares from this deal, while Li Yixiao only earned 1%. On the other hand, the ratios for the black market earnings were the other way around. Lu Shu earned 20%, while Li Yixiao earned 80%.

The black market was managed by Li Yixiao. But without Lu Shu’s magical stones, there would not be such a heavy flow of people into the black market.

Before the actual negotiations started, the families had sent people to observe the situation in the black market. Unlike Lu Shu and Li Yixiao, they were not careless in how they did things.

These families had even sent people to secretly calculate the handling capacity of the black market, as well as the frequency of rare training materials appearing. Overall, they wanted to determine whether this black market was worth investing in or not.

The result. It was definitely worth it!

Although the big families were well aware that the secret practitioners came because the six families had gathered here, the current climate of magical energy in Luo City was suitable for them. Even if the families left, the Luo Shen Cultivation College would still be there.
