Ji Huan soon fell asleep, even though he drank most of the Yak In the pot.
In these last few days, unlike Abu and Naji, who were confident in their own strength, Ji Huan was very cautious about the outside world where demons were rampant. He was very aware of how weak his strength was, so he thought more about it, and hadn’t slept well for several days.
Now Ah Jin was sitting beside him. Smelling the almost imperceptible aroma of tea on Ah Jin’s body, he doesn’t know why, but he actually fell asleep like that.
He doesn’t seem to be sleeping soundly either.
His brows were slightly furrowed, with a serious expression, and the lips were a little pale due to excessive blood loss.
After staying in Yefar for more than half a year, wrapped in a cloak all day long, and soaking in the hot spring boiled by Hei Dan at night, Ji Huan’s skin had become even more white.
Ah Jin looked at the young man halfway across from him and measured him from head to toe, while eating the meat from the bowl with a fork.
His eating movements were fierce, but the feeling he gave off was very elegant.
These two feelings were a bit contradictory, but it was not surprising for him.
After finishing the broth in his own bowl, Ah Jin also finished the rest of the pot, and then glanced at the black-haired young man whose posture remained unchanged. He simply picked him up and walked upstairs.
The stairwell was very dark, but he walked as usual.
Walking to the room where Ji Huan stayed before, he gently pushed the door open.
The room was dark, with only scattered moonlight shining through the curtains.
It seemed quiet.
“Have you stared enough? Then go to bed.” Ji Huan was still fast asleep, and Ah Jin’s words were obviously not meant for him.
Just after he finished speaking this sentence, three tall and thin demons suddenly jumped into the room from outside the window, behind the door panel, and from the ceiling respectively, staring at Ah Jin in the centre of the room. The faces of the three demons were full of vigilance.
It’s Abu, Naji, and Hui.
Gently placing Ji Huan on the bed, his eyes like stagnant water slowly slid across the faces of the three demons, and then Ah Jin left immediately.
After he had left for a long time, Abu took a long breath and said: “This guy discovered us long ago, didn’t he?”
Naji scratched his head and yawned heavily.
The little grey demon was startled, and finally jumped onto the bed where Ji Huan was. He curled up at Ji Huan’s feet and fell asleep.
“What a scoundrel! If he already knew that we had been following along, we should have taken a bite when he was eating! Ah Ah Ah Ah! I don’t know what Ji Huan cooked, the aroma was too fragrant, my stomach that was originally full became hungry again!” Rubbing his belly, Abu found a random place on the ground to lie down and said: “Sleep, sleep!”
The young demon fell asleep as soon as he lay down, and within a few seconds, Naji also found a place to nest up.
After confirming that their friend had returned safely, the three young demons quickly fell asleep.
So when Ji Huan woke up the next day, he saw a nest of drooling demons in the room.
The little grey devil was sleeping soundly while hugging his feet, Abu was not sleeping well, the upper half of his body was squeezed under the bed at some point, leaving only the lower half of his body outside, Ji Huan almost fell down when he got up.
On the contrary, Naji’s posture was very obedient, no matter how he sleeps, he wakes up in the same way.
When they woke up, Ah Jin had already left.
That’s what Naji said.
When they went downstairs, Nibru had already arrived. It was the same car as yesterday, and he drove them to continue shopping.
The main focus of the shopping was on the stones that Naji wanted. But, he didn’t understand Naji’s meaning, and directly took them to a jewellery store.
The three demons who had never been to such a magnificent place were stunned!
Ji Huan remained calm, anyway, he had been to a gold shop before to buy a gold bracelet for Hei Dan. As soon as he came in, he knew that Nibru had made a mistake about what Naji wanted, but as he looked at Abu and others who were very interested, he simply let Nibru take them around.
Nibru was very professional in teaching Abu and other demons how to identify genuine and fake jewellery. He spoke very seriously, and after Abu and his companions ran away, Ji huan couldn’t help but approach Nibru and take out his phone. Ji huan showed him a photo of Hei Dan.
The key point was the gold bracelet on the wrist.
Previously, there were two bracelets on Hei Dan’s wrist, but now there is only one, the one that Ah Jin gave as a gift. Although it filled a gap, Ji Huan always felt that gold things come in pairs as a lucky charm. After encountering experts in this field, Ji Huan couldn’t help but ask him how much it would cost to make another bracelet.
The expression of the middle-aged demon who was carefully studying the gold bracelet in the photo was very subtle.
When he learned that the “bracelet” was indeed given to the young man by the boss, the middle-aged demon’s expression became even more strange.
He immediately reviewed his attitude towards the young man and his group yesterday, and he was relieved when he confirmed that everything was very thoughtful. He didn’t answer Ji Huan’s question directly, and just euphemistically said that the bracelet was very exquisitely crafted, and it would be difficult to make a pair.
After they finished speaking here, Abu’s side was almost done shopping.
“I have figured out the location of the alarms and the surveillance cameras, I can bring people over to rob this gold shop in the future.” Abu whispered in Ji Huan’s ear confidently.
Ji Huan: … No wonder you are so interested in this shop.
However, even after knowing what was going on in Abu’s mind, Ji Huan still let Nibru take them to various strange places. Since being rescued, Xiao Hui’s condition hasn’t been very good. If shopping could distract him a little, it would be great.
Under such circumstances, Nibru took Ji Huan and his group to many places, such as: places selling jewellery, places selling rare stones, and even ores.
There are gemstones the size of a thumb that are as light as a feather but worth tens of millions, and there are also worthless sandstones like mountains that only cost a few hundred gold bars, and there are also many fossils that are weathered from the bodies of dead monsters…
Since he was mixed in the counterfeit manufacturing industry in his early years, Nibru had a wide range of knowledge about various raw materials and stones, even the old demon who seemed to be dozing off was listening carefully to his explanations.
Although the stone that Naji wanted was heavy enough and not too large hadn’t been found, the little grey devil’s mood gradually improved.
As they passed by the phone store, Ji Huan and Abu glanced at each other and then took the lead in going in.
The phone that little grey devil used to have couldn’t be turned on later as it got broken because of strong collisions and liquid infiltration, so they decided to take this opportunity to buy a new children’s phone for him, which was still pink and of the latest model! It can be considered as a gift from Ji Huan, Abu, and Naji. Ji Huan has no money, so he borrowed some from Abu.
After resetting Ji Huan’s mobile phone number as the parent’s number, and saving the numbers of Abu and Adan, Ji huan hung the mobile phone around the neck of the little grey devil.
The little grey devil pulled down the hat of the cloak and only reopened it after a long time.
His eyes were filled with tears.
Naji, who happened to have no mobile phone, also bought a mobile phone of the same type. There was no other way. Apart from the elderly phone, the simplest one to use was the children’s phone, and for Naji, who didn’t know the big characters, the children’s phone was the only one he could immediately learn how to use to make phone calls.
Naji was also happy to have Ji Huan input all his friends’ phone numbers into his own phone~
No matter how happy Naji was, he always remembered the stones he owed Adan. Today, he went shopping and found that the stones didn’t meet the standards. He didn’t buy the stones Adan wanted, but used the money to buy a phone for himself. The young demon felt really uneasy, and kept peeking at Adan.
Adan, on the other hand, had his eyelids drooping on his cheeks, as he occasionally raised his hand to take a look at the new gemstone ring he had bought today, with an unpredictable expression on his face.
After having brought the guests around for a whole day but still failed to find what they wanted, Nibru was also a bit embarrassed. He raised his head and thought for a while, then suddenly said: “The heaviest stones I know are all in the fighting arena.”
“There are so many demons standing on the fighting platform everyday to fight, and I haven’t heard of fighting arenas changing stones all day long. So, those stones should be quite sturdy.”
However, as soon as he saw that Naji’s eyes were shining brightly, he quickly waved his hand and said, “The fighting arenas are all time-honoured brands, and the most precious hardware of each fighting arena is their own fighting platform!”
“The number of fighting platforms of different colours are all determined according to the rating standards, but I have never heard of a fighting arena selling its own fighting platforms”
Although Nibru said so, Naji still couldn’t help being excited. On the same day, they went to the gathering area of the fighting arena and as soon as they entered the area, they noticed that the excitement of the nearby demons was clearly not right. Then, they saw an extremely incredible scene: A fighting platform was placed on a long mechanical powered car, due to the weight, the wheels had made deep dents on the stone floor, and the car was moving with difficulty.
“A fighting arena has closed down! The fighting platforms have all been auctioned off!” Amidst the surge of demons, a well informed demon shouted excitedly
Ji Huan was surprised as he watched the little grey devil, who was only up to his knee, being squeezed against his calf. Thinking about his injured arm, he immediately picked him up.
The little devil froze for a moment, then he wrapped his thin arms around Ji Huan’s neck.
“It’s a golden fighting platform! It’s the golden fighting platform second only to the silver fighting platform and the white fighting platform! Which fighting arena has closed down?” The demons were still discussing.
“Do we have a fighting arena here that is qualified to use a golden fighting platform?”
“No, right? It doesn’t look like a fighter has reached that level here.”
“Then what is all this for?”
The car pulling the fighting platform finally stopped heavily in an open space.
Relying on his stature, Abu used his physical advantage to create a path among many demons, and led Ji Huan and his group to a position quite close to the fighting platform.
“Let, let me see! Let me see… see!” Naji jumped up and down below, he was too short, nearly a head shorter than Ji Huan, even in such a good position, the wall of demons in front still blocked his view.
Abu lifted him up and Naji found a good place on Abu’s shoulder. He enthusiastically waved to the little grey devil in Ji Huan’s arms, and asked him if he wanted to hold Abu’s head with him to watch the fun. The little grey devil shook his head and rejected his offer, so Naji continued to look forward excitedly.
“Big, so big! So, so heavy! So, so sturdy…stone!” Naji looked down and told his feelings, with his eyes shining brightly. He was probably too excited, and then this young demon, who has always been shy, roared loudly for the first time: “This, how much does this stone slab cost!”
His voice seemed to hit some mechanism, and the sound through the amplifier suddenly came from the open space ahead.
“Young man, you are asking the wrong question! This stone slab is free! It will be placed here from now on, and anyone who can push it ten metres forward can become a reserve fighter in the golden fighting platform of the Sabuche Fighting Arena with a monthly salary of 100,000 gold bars!”
There was an uproar in the audience! All the audience was boiling!
Naji was also a member of the boiling crowd. Relying on his height advantage, he stuttered and shouted again: “No, I don’t want to work. I only want the slab stone? How much, how much is it?”
“Hahahaha! Do you want a stone? You don’t need to pay, as long as you can lift this stone, this golden fighting platform will be given to you for free!” The host in a retro fighter costume laughed wildly at the scene.
The good idea of the Sabuche Fighting Arena was to use the unqualified golden fighting platform as a landmark, and as a gimmick to attract more powerful demons to become their own fighters.
This idea was good, but it was destined to be just an idea.
When the demons on the scene tried to push the golden fighting platform but failed, the host proudly pointed to the young demon that looked like a bean sprout and asked him to come over, and then——
That demon lifted up the entire golden fighting platform that was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Is this the power of the devil king!
