I thought I had heard it wrong. Is this guy, who looks like a monkey and a small panda, really the legendary divine beast Di Ting? It's impossible. Miao Yanbo is obviously just fooling me.
I said, don't play me like this, even if I'm not knowledgeable, how could Di Ting not be able to distinguish things?
Miao Yanbo took a deep breath and said: "I haven't finished yet. Listen, this guy is the 35th generation descendant of Di Ting, the steed of the Dizang King, and is called Huohouer."
Pfft!
I really wanted to spit blood on Miao Yanbo, this charlatan. Thirty-five generations of descendants? According to the law, relatives beyond three generations can get married. If it's thirty-five generations of descendants, wouldn't that go back to the Antarctic?
I scolded Miao Yanbo: "Stop your charlatan act. Huohouer is just Huohouer. What does it have to do with Di Ting? You scared me to death."
Although I haven't seen Huohouer, I have heard about it. A Gu master from Miaojiang once told me that within the ten thousand mountains of Miaojiang, there is an animal called Huohouer, which can smell the aura of yin energy and will make strange calls upon encountering it, making it a kind of spirit monkey.
There are two types of Huohouer, one is ugly and eats carrion, called Black-faced Huohouer, and the other is pleasant-looking, eats bamboo and drinks spring water, called Cat-faced Huohouer.
It seems that the Huohouer in front of me should be the Cat-faced Huohouer.
"Hey, I'm used to it. I always introduce the customer like this. It's a bit awkward suddenly dealing with an expert like you. How about this, one price, 300,000." Miao Yanbo held up three fingers.
I was afraid I heard it wrong, so I brought my ear close to Miao Yanbo's face: "What? How much? Say it again."
"Didn't hear clearly? I'll say it again, 350,000."
"You're kidding me, do you really think I didn't hear clearly? The second time you asked for 5,000 more than the first." I really wanted to slap Miao Yanbo, this swindler. People start with a high price, but he starts with a "can't hear clearly" price.
I looked at Huohouer again and said, "This price is too high, make it cheaper."
"250,000, and I can't go any lower." Miao Yanbo looked troubled.
I directly cut the price in half: "100,000, and I'll give you an extra 500 for cigarettes."
Miao Yanbo got anxious, pointing at Huohouer and said, "Don't, Xiao Li, look at the monkey, how handsome? This appearance, this value, this function, 250,000 is too little? Alright, we won't ask for more, 200,000! This is a unique species from Miaojiang, do you know how difficult it is to capture it?"
After speaking, Miao Yanbo went to Huohouer and held up one of its front paws, putting on a metal ring, saying that this metal ring is high-tech and can directly affect Huohouer's brain nerves, so that it will feel uneasy if it is away from you for too long and will find its way back to you. With it, there's no need to worry about Huohouer escaping, this is expensive American technology.
I glared at Miao Yanbo and said he should tie the metal ring to his tongue so he wouldn't talk nonsense to me.
Miao Yanbo chuckled and said that the hi-tech was too expensive and he couldn't afford it.
I said, "I'll take this Huohouer, for 150,000, not a penny more."
Miao Yanbo frowned: "Brother, this Huohouer is really not expensive, really not expensive."
"What a load of nonsense? Someone's Husky, big and cute, only costs 5,000, can it be cute?" I pointed at Huohouer and said.
"Yes!" Miao Yanbo clapped his hands and said to Huohouer, "Xiao Huo, come, be cute."
This Huohouer is naturally spiritual, and it can understand human speech. It really acted cute, covering its face and hopping around, the movements were stiff and funny.
I couldn't believe that it could really be cute.
My smile was a bit forced as I said, "Hehe, quite cute."
"How about it? A cute act too, 200,000 isn't too little, right?"
"Fine, 200,000 it is, I'll take this Huohouer. I'll go look for some handy magical tools as well, consider it a gift from me." I said as I started to browse the shelves on my own.
"Don't... Xiao Li, Xiao Li, Xiao Li, these magical tools are not ordinary, the cost price is sky-high. If you want me to give them to you for free, I might as well lose my pants." Miao Yanbo was afraid of me as a robber.
He was a trickster who met a tough customer.
I bought a lot of things from Miao Yanbo and took Huohouer to the Soda Green Bar.
Since there had been a series of customer disappearances in the Soda Green Bar, it meant that the yin spirits had been lurking in the bar.
I took Huohouer there to try my luck, maybe I would really catch it.
I sat at the bar counter, ordered a glass of whiskey, and started drinking alone.
It was a quiet afternoon, with only a few people in the bar, a rare serenity.
I sat at my spot, drinking and playing with Huohouer.
This guy is really smart, with a pair of big innocent eyes. For its sake, I even specially got a bowl of beef jerky.
It held the beef jerky and ate it with haste, almost choking and making its eyes bug out.
This time I came alone to catch the black-clothed yin spirit. Why didn't I bring Da Jinya and the others? It wasn't because I was afraid they would take a share, but because I found that the yin spirit was particularly steady. For example, last night when she saw me alone, she reached out to grab my heart. But after Da Guangyi and the others showed up, she found that I had help and didn't dare to come out anymore.
It was almost like I was baiting her with a lone action.
Due to the commotion I caused in the bar last night, the bar manager recognized me. She secretly called the fat boss over.
When the fat boss learned that I had come, he hurriedly ran to the bar and asked me: "Li ge, any news on the heart-snatching incident from yesterday? Thanks to your help, my bar wasn't shut down. Otherwise, if a murder case had happened, my bar would have been in big trouble."
The fat boss secretly handed me an envelope made of kraft paper.
The envelope was bulging and noisy, as soon as I took it in my hand, I could feel that there was about twenty to thirty thousand inside. This should be considered a favor from the fat boss to me.
But in reality, his bar was not being investigated, so it didn't really have anything to do with me. I thought, maybe because Han Li is a very honest police officer, she never minds trouble and is willing to take responsibility for any mess.
She knew this was a sinister act, so she didn’t blame the bar owner for it.
I nodded to the fat boss and tucked the envelope into my arms. It's not that I don't pay attention to detail, but the truth is, my aunt helped with this matter. If my aunt helps, isn't that the same as me helping? We are all on the same side.
Once I tucked the envelope away, I smiled at the fat boss and said that the matter of digging out the truth was not settled yet. I came to your bar to take a look around and also to root out the sinister force.
"I believe in you, Li Ge. You definitely can root it out."
"Simply trust me, you are probably very busy, so go ahead and attend to your business."
"Oh! I'm busy, you go ahead and have a drink, don't worry about the bill, it's on me," the fat boss said generously, then went upstairs.
I watched the fat boss, shook my head, oh, this fat boss and Bai Xue are family, so Bai Xue is probably just as plump. I wonder if Bai Xue has stopped biting her nails.
If she has, it's good, if not... she won't live past this year, and I'm not just making wild guesses.
I was just wandering around aimlessly, suddenly, the little monkey in my arms started chirping.
I looked down and saw the monkey staring intently next to me. When I turned my head, I saw a charming woman sitting beside me.
This woman was particularly mature, and her body was mature too, not at all like a developing young girl.
The woman's buttocks are especially round, and she wore a layer of semi-transparent black stockings on her feet. The neckline was low cut, and even with my head lowered, I could still see the spring inside her clothes.
This woman... is no ordinary person.
The little monkey will alert me when it sees something sinister, I'm afraid this woman is... sinister...
"Brother, your pet is really special," the mature woman ordered a glass of vodka, smiled at my monkey while lowering her head.
I smiled and said the monkey is timid, so it will bark when it sees you. I'll calm it down and then chat with you.
Lowering my head, I whispered to the monkey's ear not to make any noise.
The little monkey was obedient; when it heard me say not to make any noise, it really didn't make a sound.
I held the little monkey and asked the woman, "What's your name?"
"Surname Xu, everyone calls me Xu Niang." Xu Niang put her hand on my shoulder, kissed my lips, and said, "Brother, I came out for a drink today, I'm afraid I didn't bring any money."
"They say Xu Niang is half-old, still charming, but you, Xu Niang, don't look old at all, but you are very charming," I smiled and added, "How many women coming to bars have money on them? Your drink, I'll cover it."
I didn't smell any hint of sinister aura from this woman, and when I looked into her eyes, I didn't find anything suspicious.
Usually, the eyes of the sinister have dilated pupils, and their chins and philtrum are slightly sunken, but Xu Niang did not meet any of these criteria.
But why did the little monkey bark just now? Could it be that the little monkey is really just timid?
"Brother, you are really generous, but this generosity of yours might not be for nothing, right?" Xu Niang's words were very teasing, and combined with her seductive eyes, it really got me heated up.
Of course, I am currently working on something, and I'm interacting with her more to see if she's really normal.
If she's abnormal, I'll have to take her in.
If she's really not sinister, hehe, I can still take her in.
To be honest, based on my years of experience, women who frequent bars treat it as a means to have fun. They have no emotional entanglements, just mutual pleasure.
Especially someone like Xu Niang, a seasoned weapon, must have an extremely strong desire in that aspect.
And, I know Xu Niang is a yu woman, but I don't know... her interest in that is even more enthusiastic than I imagined.
I intended to say something romantic or gradually approach the topic, but Xu Niang unexpectedly got right to the point, reaching out and grabbing my crotch, saying, "When Xu Niang looks at a man, she doesn't care if he has money or looks good, she only cares if he is big enough."
