Chapter 24: Bibi Dong's Dowry
"Sister Dong'er, why are you here?"
Su Zhe was startled, the beautiful girl curled up under the blanket was no one else but Bibi Dong who had run into the blanket after the competition at the Great Heaven Battle Spirit Arena. She had been waiting for Su Zhe's return!
"Why are you hiding under the blanket? Don't you feel stuffy? I didn't sit on you just now, did I?"
Su Zhe asked concernedly. He was a man and he had worked in the fields all year round to train his muscles. If he were to relax his entire body on top of a girl, she might not be able to take it.
"It's okay. I'm happy to do it anyway."
Bibi Dong gigled. Today was the happiest day. Not only did they win the competition, they even made Spirit Hall proud and she also got to see Brother Su Zhe.
However, Brother Su Zhe seemed a little disappointed when he saw her.
It was as if some kind of passion had been scattered and she had entered the sage mode.
How could Su Zhe not be disappointed?
He had originally thought that the Douluo continent had such service and that love could be bought with money. However, he didn't expect it to be a twelve year old girl!
What did a twelve year old girl like Bibi Dong know about adult love? What she wanted was pure love!
'Love? Oh screw that!'
'She's just greedy for his mature body!'
Did she see him as a big brother that she could rely on?
Su Zhe thought.
However, Su Zhe soon calmed down.
It was better to hope that this little girl could still maintain her 'pure heart' than to have those that were unstable and only for lust.
Su Zhe patted Bibi Dong's head and she stretched her neck like a cat. Her white nape was faintly visible under her black hair, like a crystal clear fairy.
"Why are you here?"
Su Zhe smiled as he asked
"You just won the game and you should celebrate with your teammates. Sum up the experiences that you had from the match. Wouldn't you hurt your teammates' feelings now that you sneaked out to see me?"
"That isn't more important than meeting. Brother Su Zhe. Moreover, the Spirit Hall team has no match tomorrow. We'll have plenty of time to interact with our teammates."
"Plus the Clear Sky School underestimated their enemy and have already surrendered after being defeated by me. The following ranking competition will be much easier."
"Oh? You sound confident."
After the qualifiers, there will only be 15 teams that will enter the ranking competition.
Star Luo Royal Academy, Heaven Battle Royal Academy, Spirit Hall, Blue Sunshine Academy, Purple Star Academy, Okland Academy, Godwind Academy, Elephant Armored Academy, Blazing Academy,Thunderclap Academy, Skywater Academy, Fabia Academy, Strange Beast Academy, Balak Academy, and Botanic Academy.
The competition would be one-on-one. It was inevitable that one team would have no match and they would be allowed to the next stage without a fight.
"Well, in the entire continent, the strongest spirit masters are from Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky School. Spirit Hall is recruiting spirit masters frmo all over the world and have already gathered half of the spirit masters on the continent. So, there's no need to worry about manpower and resources. Plus, Clear Sky Sect has their double stars. Their talent is extraordinary, suppressing all the spirit masters now. They are also unrivaled for those in the same realm as them. Their reputation is even more resounding than my teachers back then."
"Therefore, the Clear Sky Sect is the strongest enemy of Spirit Hall."
"However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect isn't ordinary either. They are a support spirit master sect. When combined with the Seven Slaughter Sect from the lower sects, their power is astonishing. I think they might also be able to obtain astonishing results in this competition."
When Bibi Dong spoke, she was both proud and cautious, having an accurate and clear analysis of her opponents. Having an opponent like her was truly frightening.
However, if she became indecisive, it would be fatal...
"Unfortunately, this time Tang Hao and Tang Xiao didn't participate in the tournament." Su Zhe added on.
He recognized the Clear Sky Hammer. If these two were here, they would definitely fight Sister Dong'er to the death.
"Yeah, but it doesn't matter. I'll defeat them all in the finals!"
Bibi Dong firmly said.
"Then, you will definitely be in the limelight. However, you're still young. If all things go bad, you can give up. After all, they have the advantage of age."
"The championship title isn't important, your safety is the most important." Su Zhe spoke in a gentle tone.
His words warmed Bibi Dong's heart, even though her teacher had never cared for her in such a manner. Her teacher would tell her that she was the most outstanding woman on the continent, that everyone would become her follower. Once she defeated everyone, she would stand at the peak of the mountain and look down on other spirit masters.
However, he wouldn't tell her that it was better to have mercy on others in order to protect herself.
"You're the best, Brother Su Zhe."
Bibi Dong pounded into Su Zhe's arms, muttering.
"I don't care who these people are, I want to be the champion. Otherwise, I won't be able to live up to the help that I have received from Brother Su Zhe!"
"Plus, I still have a trump card that I haven't used. It's not like I can't beat the Clear Sky Sect."
Bibi Dong blinked, lifting up her hair, revealing her neck that was as fair as jade for Su Zhe to see. "Look, I still have the Divine Thunder Dragon's spirit bone. The combination of the spirit bone skill and my third spirit ring is my most powerful attack!"
"Alright then! I'll wait to see you beat those from the Clear Sky Sect."
Su Zhe also knew a few things about the Clear Sky Sect along with Tang Hao. The Clear Sky Sect was essentially a bully to the weak with their actions being overbearing and barbaric. They would always take revenge for the smallest grievance. Tang Hao would later have an innocent son with a beast grass as his spirit who will become enemies with Spirit Hall.
Su Zhe naturally hoped that Bibi Dong could win against the Clear Sky Sect so that she would have enough power to protect herself and wouldn't be bullied by the Tang family.
"Hmm? Brother Su Zhe, is this your pet?"
At this time, Bibi Dong also discovered the Icy Jade Emperor Scorpion. Seeing the scorpion had an ice crystal agate, she was somewhat curious.
"Yes, I went to the North some time ago and found her. She's cold all over, but she's very obedient. She doesn't sting anyone."
"See, I told you it's very obedient."
Su Zhe grabbed the Tcy Jade Emperor Scorpion and put it in front of Bibi Dong. The scorpion had been squeezed by Su Zhe until it was weak and powerless. It was now merely a toy. How could it not be obedient?
"This is..."
Bibi Dong pondered for a moment. After returning from Leisure Manor, she had diligently read books, recognizing those rare treasures. She remembered that she had once seen a description similar to this scorpion in a book.
"This is an Icy Jade Scorpion, right? It already has several golden patterns. This is something rare!"
"Is it?"
"Yes!"
"If I sell it, how many gold spirit coins can I get?"
The Frost King almost peed his pants when he heard what Su Zhe said.
'What the f*ck? You want to sell me? I'm the Frost King! One of a kind! I am worth everything!'
"Ummm... It's a priceless treasure."
Bibi Dong said a price that made Su Zhe envious.
A priceless treasure? The Icy Jade Scorpion that he casually caught in the Thule was actually a priceless treasure?
What was the concept of a priceless treasure? No one could afford it?
Well, to be precise, no one could catch it. Generally speaking, those who tried to catch these would end up dead.
"Brother Su Zhe, do you need money? Tell me, I'm rich! I have all the money in the world."
Bibi Dong thought for a while, perhaps it was because Brother Su Zhe lived in seclusion in the manor all year round, it was normal that he didn't have many of these external things on him. Then, he took out two heavy bags of spirit coins from her spirit device, and placed them in front of Su Zhe.
When he opened it, it was all shining gold, filled with spirit gold coins!
"You have so much money!"
Su Zhe's brows twitched. 'Good fellow, the Spirit Hall is really rich. Even a little girl has so much money on her.'
In fact, gold spirit coins were the most valuable spirit coins!
1 gold spirit coin = 10 silver spirit coins = 1000 copper spirit coins!
In general, the market was mostly traded with copper spirit coins, and the value of one copper spirit coin could be equivalent to one or two Yuan in the modern world.
With two large bags full of gold spirit coins, it would be worth over a hundred thousand. Even in Heaven Battle City, it would be enough to buy a luxurious villa!
It was enough for an ordinary person to live for ten lifetimes!
Spirit master was truly a gold-digging profession!
"Unfortunately, I can't accept it."
If word got out, where would I put my face?
I don't want this money, whoever wants it can take it!
I won't eat stick my head in this, whoever who wants to do it can do so!
"Just accept it. In any case, this is the pocket money for the saintess allocated by the Spirit Hall. I don't usually spend much money, so I don't need it."
"I will not take back the money that I've given to you."
"How about this? All this money will be a part of my dowry, I'll give it to you first. When we get married later, I'll give you a few thousand less. What do you think?"
Not only can she use this reason to give money to Brother Su Zhe, she could also get a promise from him. It was killing two birds with one stone! Bibi Dong thought that she was a genius!
"Little fellow, you're already thinking about the dowry now. What will happen in the future? How about this, I'll give you the Icy Jade Scorpion, just treat it as buying this pet with these gold spirit coins, how about it?"
Su Zhe thought of this method. Since this Icy Jade Scorpion was a priceless treasure, then exchanging it for a hundred thousand gold spirit coins was still worth it.
Well, if they were to clear all exchanges between them with these two bags of money, Bibi Dong would be the winner in this case.
The Frost King's cultivation had increased from 300000 years to 500000 years, almost reaching the 600000-year mark.
Even if they killed it, it would drop five to six hundred thousand year super red spirit rings and spirit bones. Its value was limitless. Let alone a hundred thousand gold spirit coins, even if it was a few million or even tens of millions, there would be people willing to buy it!
This was no longer a matter of money, but strength. It was a matter of the rise and fall of a sect, a matter of reaching the peak and bringing glory to their ancestors!
However, Bibi Dong wasn't stupid. This Icy Jade Scorpion didn't look like an ordinary spirit beast. She definitely couldn't tame it and it would be dangerous to keep it by her side.
"I don't care. This is Brother Su Zhe's dowry anyway. It's decided!"
"Alright then! Let's go out and enjoy ourselves with this money!"
"Why don't I just treat this money as a playtime fee for Brother Su Zhe? You shall pay for all the food and drinks when we go out. That should be fine, right?"
"Alright..."
Su Zhe sighed. He really couldn't argue with Bibi Dong.
The Icy Jade Emperor Scorpion also heaved a sigh of relief. 'You might not believe it, but I, one of the three great Kings of Thule and one of the ten great spirit beasts, was almost sold as a pet!'
'Would anyone believe me if I told them about this?"
Soon, Bibi Dong pulled Su Zhe to the streets, "Brother Su Zhe, since you're already in Heaven Battle City. How can you not go out and have some fun?"
