Chapter 149

After hearing that, Mo Lie also wasn't in a hurry; he lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on the smooth, rounded glass bottle before him, a few strokes depicting a cute leopard cub, the Little Female drew it very beautifully.

Hua Zheng also understood Lin Manzhi's talk therapy meaning to rope people in, he said: "What difference does it make? You're just staying in this dry, hot desert, you can't go back to the forest anyway."

Xiong Kui was struck right where it hurt.

The Beast God knows, he is a thick-furred brown bear, staying in the high-temperature desert is practically torture every day, he really misses the forest, but because of the lord's assigned task, he cannot go back.

However, in Kuangsha City he lived the life of a big boss, females casually hugged him, Jia Jian also flattered and treated him well, each time they brought money to Sajin City, he could get a tenth of it.

That's a huge fortune, enough for him to go back and buy a patch of forest.

Xiong Kui shrank his body and hugged himself, "In the future... I will go back."

Hua Zheng: "……"

Mo Lie lightly tapped the glass bottle with his fingertip, producing a clear ding-ding sound, attracting the gaze of the two not far away.

He said: "No matter how much wealth you have, it's hard to buy Dragon Tongue Honey Water; even your lord Cha Lan cannot produce Dragon Tongue Honey Water."

Mo Lie's hand lightly tossed upward, the small glass bottle traced a crescent arc in midair; seeing the bear crouched on the ground quickly reach out to catch it, he slowly asked: "You say that's right?"

Xiong Kui, who had gulped down the honey water in one go and was still trying to lick the bottle: "Wuu wuu wuu!"

Mo Lie slightly furrowed his brows.

Dirty.

Not long after, Xiong Kui, unable to taste the sweetness any longer, reluctantly put it down, staring at the glazed bottle beside Mo Lie; saliva flooded his mouth, he desperately wanted to drink, almost wanting to get up and snatch it.

That's exactly right!

Whether it's the sea clan or another insect continent, there has never been honey water as sweet and energetic as this; just that sip, he felt his Spirit Core's energy increase a bit, as effective as taking a potion—immediate effect.

If this were placed in their Sa Jin Continent, it would almost provoke a bloody storm.

No wonder the name contains 'dragon'! It's not only delicious but also contains an incredible miracle.

He swallowed his saliva and asked, 'If I follow you… can I drink the Dragon Tongue Honey Water as I please?'

Mo Lie hadn't spoken yet; Hua Zheng beside him snorted coldly: 'What are you thinking! Do you think Dragon Tongue Honey Water is just water pooled in a lake? Do you know how precious Dragon Tongue Honey Water is! Want to drink your fill? Not diluting it for you is already generous.'

Feeling wronged by the scolding, Xiong Kui said: 'I'll buy it myself; anyway, if I follow you, it's tantamount to betraying our Lord of Sajin City, and I won't be able to go back, so I don't need to save money to buy land.'

Just thinking about it made him swallow his saliva again, eyes dreamy: 'Hehe, I'll take it to buy Dragon Tongue Honey Water!'

Mo Lie suddenly said: 'Who said that after I take Central City, I'll stop trading with Sajin City?'

'What?' Xiong Kui blinked.

He doesn't like to think things through; otherwise, the management of Central City would be his responsibility, rather than letting the weakly capable Jia Jian take the leader's position.

So, his mind is a bit slow now; the leader of Central City has become Mo Lie, and yet he still plans to continue trading with Sajin City as before?

Mo Lie is domineering and ruthless, Cha Lan is violent and domineering; two top-tier Supernatural Male Beasts—who would let the other take advantage? They'd surely fight early on, and the trade would fall through.

Hua Zheng's expression turned somewhat solemn: 'Since you've pledged allegiance to us, there's one thing you must remember: our master currently has no intention of revealing his identity, so you must keep your mouth shut.'

We went to the trouble of finding you precisely to avoid causing too much of a stir; Central City District has changed masters, but it remains as it was before; as for the trade with Sajin City, it's not up to you to decide.

From now on, just do whatever our master says.

Xiong Kui listened to Hua Zheng's long speech, lifted his head to look at the truly frightening Mo Lie, gave a fawning smile: 'That master, is this your arrangement? Could you give me a bit more Dragon Tongue Honey Water each day? I promise I'll be more loyal to you than anyone.'

As someone who has waited by the side of the Lord of Sajin City, in Kuangsha City, only Master Mo Lie is truly the one who makes decisions.

Golden-haired male beast? What is he calling?

Xiong Kui rose from the ground; since becoming Mo Lie's subordinate, he felt he no longer risked being killed, and his spine straightened.

'Hn.' Mo Lie said with a hint of nonchalance; Central City is also a place that must be taken; that Xiong Kui can obey him so easily is indeed unexpectedly smooth.

All of this is because of the Little Female upstairs.

He glanced toward the third floor without changing expression, waved at Hua Zheng to come over, then said: 'First prepare to take us to control Jia Jian; once the matter is settled, I'll give you five bottles of Dragon Tongue Honey Water each day.'

Xiong Kui could even betray Cha Lan, let alone Jia Jian—he nodded eagerly without a second thought.

For five bottles of Dragon Tongue Honey Water, Xiong Kui felt it was worth it.

After all, he felt working under a Supernatural Male Beast was far more comforting in his heart than working under the weaker Jia Jian.

Moreover, that Dragon Tongue Honey Water is only available here with Mo Lie.

Xiong Kui took two Death God Beasts to find Jia Jian, feeling no guilt; he reluctantly glanced at the Dragon Tongue Honey Water, then turned and strode toward the stairs.

Finish the job early and come back early to get your Dragon Tongue Honey Water!

Mo Lie waved his hand, letting Hua Zheng follow Xiong Kui away, then turned and walked toward the third floor.

Lin Manzhi heard clearly; Mo Lie used only five bottles of Dragon Tongue Honey Water, equivalent to buying Central City's first enforcer with a cup of milk tea.

Footsteps sounded at the stairwell; immediately, Mo Lie's tall, slender figure appeared: 'Zhizhi, come over.'

He stood a few steps down the stairs, stretched out his hand toward her, his fair, slender hand palm-open, waiting in midair.

Lin Manzhi: 'Aren't you going with to find Jia Jian?'

She looked at Mo Lie's hand, paused a few seconds, then still reached out, placing her hand in his palm.

Mo Lie gripped Lin Manzhi's warm, slender hand; the corner of his mouth twitched up imperceptibly.

He waited for Lin Manzhi to approach, then walked side by side with her downwards; his icy-blue eyes held a hint of tenderness: 'I want to first send Zhizhi you back; the Jia Jian matter can wait.'

Hearing the low voice beside her ear, Lin Manzhi couldn't help but smile: 'Ah… then I'll go home and wait for you; I heard the glazed workshop in Central City is in the leader's hands, and I very much want to order a batch of glazed bottles from them.'

She only remembered that in the past, glass was made by firing sand, requiring temperatures over a thousand degrees Celsius; as for the detailed glass-making process, she didn't know.

Right now, a ready-made glazed workshop is about to be available; she feels a bit anticipatory.
