Chapter 1149: Mosquito legs are also meat
Mosquito legs are also meat
"You cried?"
"I didn't!"
"Then what is this?" Cheng Shi kicked away Chen Shu's foot and pointed to a wet trace on the floor under his feet.
"Gasoline."
"?"
"Ji Yue said she wanted to die in the fire, I prepared to burn her."
"..."
This really couldn't be answered, because Cheng Shi really saw Chen Shu holding a bucket of gasoline in his hand.
No, buddy!?
How did you manage to take out your gasoline bucket while crying?
Also, where did you get so many gasoline buckets?
Did you rob a gas station?
Cheng Shi originally thought he could run into a different Chen Shu, but facts proved that he thought too much.
Chen Shu was still that Chen Shu, just lacking some noisy camouflage for the moment.
He pushed Chen Shu away unhappily, sat by the bed, checked Ji Yue's injuries carefully, and quietly drew a 【Order】 symbol on Ji Yue's back, avoiding Chen Shu's vision.
Ji Yue's injuries were indeed very heavy; any priest who came would shake their head. Relying only on healing could not save this Fire-Spreader, unless the Grave Keeper personally hung her life.
But Old Zhang wasn't arranged in, and he himself wasn't a Grave Keeper today, so he could only use another way to share some pain for the other.
Justice Official!
The 【Order】 priest could balance vitality between two people, its effect just like that symbiotic strap Old Zhang had used. And it just so happened that Cheng Shi had deceived an 【Order】 believer in the previous round, so after Shadow Cheng Shi transmitted the news of Ji Yue's severe injury, Cheng Shi had a plan in his heart.
He once again blasphemed a certain benefactor, exchanged for temporary 【Order】 power, and then used the endless vitality in his body to slowly wear away the hidden dangers in Ji Yue's body. Under unremitting efforts, he finally turned the other from danger to safety and let her sleep peacefully.
Cheng Shi was covered in sweat, let out a long sigh, and nodded toward Chen Shu.
Seeing Ji Yue saved, Chen Shu felt relieved in his heart and sat on the floor with a thud.
Cheng Shi glanced at Chen Shu with a half-smile, stood up, and looked at this house casually:
"What do you want to do?
The commotion you made is too big, how can it be brighter at night than during the day?"
"You... didn't you hear everything?"
"Hear what? I am a priest, just rushing over already took all my strength, how could I have time to listen to your sentimental words before death?"
Chen Shu's face turned strange in a second. He stared at Cheng Shi and chattered: "If you didn't hear it, how do you know it was sentimental?"
"I guessed." Cheng Shi held back his laughter, but sighed in his heart.
This is the reason why he appreciates City Defenders more than City Builders. You can't say City Builders are wrong, but for their goals, they can indeed "stop at nothing."
This reminded him of that Zhao Qian he met before.
When City Builders feel that hope is in themselves, they can ignore everything else in this world. But once they let them know that hope is in others, they can abandon everything of their own, just like Ji Yue right now.
Qin Xin holds both City Defenders and City Builders, two conflicting wills fighting every day, won't he have a mental breakdown?
Cheng Shi's thoughts diverged, and the scene suddenly fell into silence.
Not long after, he smiled, shook his head to shake off these miscellaneous thoughts, and added:
"I know you were looking for me.
I suspect that even those not in Redicor could see the sky changing here, let alone she wanted to notify me with flames as a signal...
Tsk, the scholar has a good plan, and the way of finding people is also unique.
It's just that this means is too radical, use it less in the future, otherwise there will be problems sooner or later.
What are you looking for me for?
Wait, don't say this first, Ji Yue's consultation fee, shouldn't you Fire-Spreaders pay it first?"
"Consultation... fee?"
Chen Shu was stunned, stared at Cheng Shi and said: "You still want money for treating your own teammate?"
"That's how you say it, who wants money?"
Chen Shu blinked, thinking to himself that he had misunderstood.
But the next second Cheng Shi said:
"Equivalent props are also fine."
"..."
Chen Shu's expression became extremely wonderful. He stared at Cheng Shi for a long time, until he made Cheng Shi turn his head away embarrassedly, before he said quietly:
"Fine, I'll pay!"
Cheng Shi's eyes lit up, but then a trace of suspicion appeared in his eyes looking at Chen Shu: "What are you paying with?"
"I'll owe it first."
"???"
No, you're buying on credit?
Cheng Shi said with disgust: "Then what's the difference from not paying? Do I owe you?"
Chen Shu shook his head violently: "No, brother-in-law, I owe you."
"..."
One sentence made Cheng Shi silent again.
Bad news, I've been scammed.
Good news, Chen Shu seems to have walked out of the previous inexplicable emotions.
Of course, the latter might not be considered good news.
Cheng Shi pulled over a chair unhappily, rolled his eyes and said:
"Let's talk, talk about what great things two penniless Fire-Spreaders did in this earth-shattering night, let me, a priest who can't get the bill back, also open my eyes."
"..."
For a moment, Chen Shu always felt that his brother-in-law had been infected by the atmosphere of this 【Foolish】 town, speaking in a yin-yang way.
But he still explained everything he and Ji Yue did to Cheng Shi, and finally stared at Cheng Shi's eyes with burning eyes:
"You know Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, right?"
Cheng Shi blinked, his smile mysterious.
I don't just know, I even know what underwear he is wearing today.
But even if I'm clear on that, I can't let you guys keep scamming me over and over again. Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to risk my life and limb to scrape together this much intelligence from the outside?
Shouldn't I earn some price difference?
Cheng Shi's current smile was very strange, strange enough that Chen Shu saw the other's "needs" at a glance. He hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, took out a palm-sized small puppet from his portable space, didn't give it in a hurry, but tested it uncertainly:
"No discount for family?"
"Sorry, I don't have family."
"Brother-in-law, you say this too heartbreakingly. During the day, wasn't 【Annihilation】 your family?"
"..." Cheng Shi's tone paused, and he laughed in anger, "Fine fine fine, then I'll give family a discount. No discount for outsiders, 11% discount for family. Now the thing in your hand is not enough."
"?"
Chen Shu widened his eyes, and the next second he threw the small puppet into Cheng Shi's arms, and cleared his name:
"Zhen Yi and I don't have a blood relationship, we are outsiders. This thing is enough, enough.
Brother-in-law, hurry up and say it."
"..."
Hearing this, Cheng Shi gritted his teeth and said: "Then why do you still call me brother-in-law!?"
"You wouldn't be willing if I called you Cheng Jie."
"..."
"Besides, even if it's not a biological sister, isn't it fine to recognize a god-relative? Calculating this way, you are still my brother-in-law, reasonable."
Reasonable your ***!
Cheng Shi hated not doing this deal, but after holding the small puppet in his arms, he endured it lovingly.
After all, it is to spread the divine name for Envoy Envoy Yu Xi, a little grievance, just endure it.
"What is this?" Before starting the Envoy Envoy Yu Xi lecture, Cheng Shi asked another question.
Chen Shu explained rarely seriously:
"Descent Silent Puppet, S-rank holy artifact, a gift exchanged by my personal piety praying to the benefactor. You can understand it as He locking the punch of 'finally returning to silence' into this small puppet. When you smash it, it can silence everything around for you."
Good stuff!
Cheng Shi's eyes lit up, but then he asked suspiciously: "Does it also include myself?"
Chen Shu nodded: "Of course, you are not a 【Silence】 believer, naturally you can't avoid it."
"..."
What kind of good stuff is this!
Cheng Shi's face turned black, but he stroked the puppet again, thinking to himself:
Even a mosquito's leg is meat; I'll just have to endure it. It's still better than being scammed.
