Chapter 1136 – Barbaric Child
Just as the Lion Emperor was about to use his other hand, he seemed to have some sudden recollection. With a cold snort, he tossed Bai Chen Feng aside and turned around with his hands behind his back.
Bai Chen Feng’s injuries worsened further after the toss and the pain he was having heightened.
He mustered all his strength before he could sit up. Just as he planned to cultivate, a lion suddenly walked in from outside, followed by another soon after. Soon, a total of seven lions appeared.
“Heh heh, isn’t this the human brat that our emperor loves the most, how did he turn into this state?” a huge lion spoke.
These lion demons were unable to turn into humans due to their cultivation, but this did not affect their ability to speak human.
Bai Chen Feng has visited the lion demons several times thus far, so both sides knew of each others’ existence.
Another lion added, “I heard that you messed up an important mission this time?”
“This is not good! You have greatly disappointed our emperor…”
These demons have had contact with humans a few times and had learned to make sarcastic remarks.
Bai Chen Feng closed his eyes and ignored them.
It was likely the Lion Emperor had a good reason for letting him off.
Since he was not punished, Bai Chen Feng believed that these lion demons would not dare to do anything to him.
As expected, after a few more sentences, the lion demons started to become impatient.
“So boring, let’s go.”
“Go, go, go! This lion heard that you caught a plump kid last time, have you finished eating it? Share some of it with the rest!”
“Such a good thing happened? You really know how to hide, let’s go!”
……
In an instant, the cave quietened.
Bai Chen Feng released a heavy sigh before a spirit pulse appeared as a spirit crane arrived.
He stretched his hand to look and saw that it was from his father. In summary, his father asked what had happened and also informed that Hanging Cloud Empire its t.i.tle removed, becoming a small kingdom, etc.
Bai Chen Feng’s eyes sank, his face turned darker and darker…
***
The second day, the shop opened.
Only Huan Qing Yan and Little Treasure were present to sell the buns, Ji Mo Ya was cultivating back home.
She continued her disguise as an ordinary village woman like yesterday.
When the shop opened, several kids were standing outside, taking a peek.
One of the kids, a chubby kid around the age of eight, stretched his head in and asked, “Are there free meat buns to eat today?”
Little Treasure pointed at the signboard near the entrance, “Are you illiterate? Ten cents for a meat bun, five cents for a vegetable bun!”
His tone was old-fashioned and mature, it seems like he had forgotten his real age.
The chubby kid blushed, “So what if I am illiterate? I am only a child, and not at the age to attend school yet. The school in Nameless Town only accepts kids above ten years of age.
“What is a school? This Little Lord is only two, no, five years old, and have never attended school as well! Yet this Little Lord recognizes words. Go, go, go. Return home and get money from your mother to buy buns…” Little Treasure rolled his eyes.
The kid’s plan to take advantage of the situation was instantly shot down by Little Treasure’s words.
“You are just a barbaric child from outside, so what if you recognize words!”
“Knowing words is, of course, not something terrific. However, daring to come out to buy buns and not understanding the price because you do not know words, will cause people to laugh until their teeth drop…”
The argument between the two kids continued to escalate.
The neighbours who ate the bun yesterday started to gather and talk.
“Why is the bun so expensive? It is double the price of the bun shop on the east side, they sell one meat buns for five cents each or two vegetables at five cents…”
