Chapter 128

Just at this moment.

In front of the sea ship, at the end of the horizon, a big man with a dragon head came riding on clouds.

The person who came was none other than Mo Guang.

Mo Guang came to Zhang Xingyu and asked softly: "Boss Hai, where is the Kunpeng?"

Zhang Xingyu laughed.

He patted his own belly and said loudly: "Right here."

Seeing Mo Guang confused, he added: "Turned into barbecue, stuffed into my belly."

"The Kunpeng is dead?" Mo Guang asked suspiciously.

Zhang Xingyu nodded.

"If it weren't dead, how could I still be standing here?" Zhang Xingyu replied.

He took a piece of whale meat from his ring and grilled it over the spiritual fire.

"This is Kunpeng meat, do you want to have a piece and taste it?" Zhang Xingyu asked with a smile.

Although he already had suspicions in his heart, when Mo Guang saw the Kunpeng meat, he was still extremely excited.

The Kunpeng, the mortal enemy of their flood dragons.

Just over ten days ago, Mo Guang had almost been swallowed into the belly by this Kunpeng.

Later, Mo Guang fell into the sea. After waking up, he was still shaken and fled over ten thousand li from the bottom of the water.

Only after being ten thousand li away did his mind slowly calm down.

Mo Guang remembered the sentence he heard before losing consciousness.

I wonder which expert saved me?

I wonder if the Kunpeng was driven away?

After another two or three days, Mo Guang decided to go back and check.

By the time he rushed back to the original spot, the Kunpeng was long gone, and the sea ship had also disappeared.

Mo Guang thought for a while and decided to continue to the Blue Crystal Dragon Palace to participate in the martial arts competition for marriage.

He swam several thousand li toward the Blue Crystal Sea Dragon Palace, not expecting to encounter the sea ship again.

Emboldened, he came to the sea ship and saw a familiar figure, which led to the previous conversation.

He thought the Kunpeng had been driven away by someone, but didn't expect it had already been killed.

The Kunpeng tribe is one of the strongest existences among all demon tribes; who would dare to kill one of them?

Thinking of this, Mo Guang asked Zhang Xingyu: "Boss Hai, I wonder which expert killed the Kunpeng?"

Zhang Xingyu glanced at him and thought to himself: "This silly dragon really has no discernment. Isn't it obvious? The Kunpeng meat is already in my belly, of course, it was killed by me, this expert."

However, for such a fool, and a silly demon at that, Zhang Xingyu couldn't be bothered to explain or argue with him.

"Naturally, it was killed by a graceful, handsome, peerless, and powerful senior expert," Zhang Xingyu said.

After speaking, he asked Mo Guang: "Prince Mo Guang, what are your plans for the future?"

"I plan to continue participating in Princess Aoya's martial arts competition for marriage. This time, with several competitors gone, my chances of winning are very high," Mo Guang said.

The whale meat had already been grilled to a golden yellow, emitting an enticing aroma.

Mo Guang snatched the grilled whale meat from Zhang Xingyu's hand and ate it in large mouthfuls.

"Delicious. Truly delicious. I have never eaten anything so delicious."

Mo Guang swallowed a large piece of grilled whale meat in two or three bites.

He licked his tongue and shamelessly said to Zhang Xingyu: "Boss Hai, grill another piece for me."

Zhang Xingyu waved his hand.

"No, no. This Kunpeng meat was bought by me at a high price from a senior expert. Considering you've patronized my business before, I gave you a piece for free, which has already cost me quite a bit of money."

"Well, Boss Hai. How much does one piece cost? I'll buy it from you," Mo Guang said.

"For a piece like that just now, the ingredient cost plus the grilling fee, it would be at least ten first-grade demon coins," Zhang Xingyu said.

"So expensive?" Mo Guang was shocked.

"Expensive? Do you think it's expensive?" Zhang Xingyu stared at Mo Guang and asked.

Mo Guang touched his mouth and said softly: "Not expensive, not expensive."

Zhang Xingyu nodded.

Consider yourself sensible, Zhang Xingyu thought to himself.

"Boss Hai, grill a few more pieces for me. I'll buy them from you," Mo Guang said.

Zhang Xingyu glanced at him: "Do you have money?"

Mo Guang was instantly speechless.

Except for the gift prepared for Princess Aoya, he was currently penniless.

However, the temptation of the Kunpeng barbecue was truly astonishing.

Mo Guang thought for a moment and said weakly to Zhang Xingyu: "Boss Hai, I don't have money right now. But I will have money soon. Look, can we make a deal and let me owe it for now?"

"Oh, will have money soon?" Zhang Xingyu stared at him with an expression of disbelief.

Mo Guang stuck out his tongue: "Boss Hai, once I succeed in the martial arts competition for marriage and become Princess Aoya's consort, I will definitely have a lot of money. By then, I will pay you back in full."

Zhang Xingyu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"It's not impossible for you to buy on credit. But a verbal guarantee doesn't count; you have to provide collateral," Zhang Xingyu said.

Mo Guang looked troubled.

"Boss Hai, I don't have anything else on me except for the gift prepared for Princess Aoya," Mo Guang said.

Zhang Xingyu touched his nose and pretended to think for a while.

"Not having things doesn't mean you can't provide collateral. Don't you still have yourself?" Zhang Xingyu said slowly.

"Boss Hai, what do you mean by that?" Mo Guang was greatly startled.

This profiteer, he isn't planning something against me, is he?

The dragon race is full of treasures.

The tendons, bones, and scales of a flood dragon are all hot-selling materials.

Zhang Xingyu saw his expression and smiled faintly.

"Prince Mo Guang, I do business, traveling north and south, and there are many places I need to go. I'm still missing a bodyguard. My meaning is, if you can't pay back the money, you'll have to work for me to pay it off. The annual wage is ten first-grade demon coins. If you agree, sign a heart-blood oath with me. Once the heart-blood oath is signed, I will allow you to buy on credit," Zhang Xingyu said.

Hearing that it was just to be a bodyguard and wouldn't pose a danger to his life.

Mo Guang thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Although being a bodyguard for someone else is very shameful, especially for a prince of the Mo Flood Dragon tribe like him, being a bodyguard for someone else is almost like being insulted.

But Mo Guang had also thought of a countermeasure in his heart.

If he really can't pay back the money by then, he'll just swallow this guy surnamed Hai in one gulp.

Hehe, wanting this prince to be your bodyguard, no way.

The person who wants this prince to be a bodyguard must at least be a big shot at the level of a Dragon King.

Hai Dafu, you are just a small boss of a Crab Leg Trading Firm, don't you know your own weight?

Are you a big shot?

You, Hai Dafu, at most count as a rich small fry.

Zhang Xingyu, however, didn't care what Mo Guang was thinking.

He bit his finger and drew a strange symbol with his blood.

"Drip a drop of your blood on it, and then swear to the symbol," Zhang Xingyu said to Mo Guang.

Seeing that Zhang Xingyu didn't ask him to swear in the name of the Sea God, Mo Guang was secretly happy.

For the sea tribes, unless they swear in the name of the Sea God, the oath has no binding force on them.

Mo Guang followed Zhang Xingyu's instructions, bit his finger, and dripped a drop of fresh blood onto the symbol.

The moment the dragon blood dripped down, the symbol emitted a faint golden light, absorbing Mo Guang's dragon blood completely.

Mo Guang saw this and didn't think much of it.

According to Zhang Xingyu's request, Mo Guang swore: "I, Prince Mo Guang of the Mo Flood Dragon tribe, swear here that if I do not repay the money owed to Boss Hai on time, I will voluntarily become Boss Hai's bodyguard. If I violate the oath, I am willing to accept all punishments from Boss Hai."

The oath was completed.

Zhang Xingyu then provided Mo Guang with an open supply of Kunpeng barbecue.

With the addition of Mo Guang, the big eater, the Kunpeng meat was consumed very quickly.

In just over ten days, only a small half of the hundreds of pieces of Kunpeng meat in the ring remained.

Zhang Xingyu felt a bit of heartache.

But thinking of Mo Guang's oath, he felt relieved again.

Eat, eat.

If you can't pay back the money by then, don't blame me for being impolite.
