Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 44: The Money-Grubber Paimon

Zhong Li is not a Soul Master. To him, Soul Bones are like antiques, just for collection.

Antiques that have been around for a long time are full of stories.

The same applies to spirit bones that have been around for a long time.

"I knew it! You wouldn't be wrong about me!"

Paimon put his hands on his hips and said with a smug look on his face.

Zhongli might misjudge other things, but when it comes to stones...

He is none other than the Rock Prince, the Rock Emperor!

Paimon trusted Zhongli a great deal in this regard.

"How many gold soul coins could we get if we sold this soul bone?"

The money-grubbing Paimon had reached its limit. Her eyes were filled with golden light as she rubbed her little hands together, looking on with anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Li's eye twitched, and he glanced at the little guy with a hint of speechlessness.

Why sell it when you have plenty of gold soul coins?

Even without gold soul coins, he wouldn't easily sell "antiques".

"If this stone is not opened, it may form a new life in thousands of years."

"Life is priceless; why go to such lengths for a useless piece of bone?"

"Perhaps we can witness the birth of a life within a stone? Isn't that more meaningful than selling it?"

Zhongli gently patted Paimon's head and said softly.

Hearing this, Paimon was a little confused and bewildered. She felt that Zhongli's words made a lot of sense, but something felt off.

Could it be that their purpose in buying this stone was to bring it to life?

and then?

I didn't earn anything!

However, she couldn't refute Zhongli's words. Just as Zhongli said, thousands of years later, this stone might give birth to new life...

The birth of life is more noble than any material enjoyment.

Paimon nodded thoughtfully. Anyway, they weren't short of money right now, so they decided to leave it for the time being.

Stone:"……"

You're still after me, aren't you?

When the topic of soul bones came up, Zhong Li glanced at Paimon and then thought about his own collection.

Even excluding this stone, he already has several soul bones in his collection.

Among them are three soul bones that are 100,000 years old.

The soul bone of the left arm of the 100,000-year-old azure ox python.

The soul bone of the right arm of a 100,000-year-old Titan Ape.

The right leg soul bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor.

The latter is the "compensation" that Tang Hao offered!

The only thing of equal value to a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast is a 100,000-year-old soul bone, which is why he took out this soul bone.

In addition to the three 100,000-year soul bones, there was also a 10,000-year soul bone given by Ning Fengzhi.

Any one of these soul bones would be enough to stir up the Douluo Continent!

But for Zhongli, they were simply suitable collectibles.

"Let's keep it as a keepsake for now, and sell it if it fails to come into being later!"

Zhong Li: "..."

Little Paimon is really smart; he has a great business sense.

Speaking of which, Zhongli is also known as the God of Commerce.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's the next day.

As dawn broke, two figures appeared limping on the main street of Tiandou City.

In the dim light, one could see that the two people were pale, but their faces wore smiles of reminiscence.

"Fatty, I never expected you to be this strong!"

"Dai, Boss Dai, you're not bad either!"

These two people were Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, who paid for the academy's expenses yesterday.

The two supported each other, walking unsteadily, but they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces; this was truly a joyful occasion.

Although Dai Mubai escaped the Star Luo Empire, he was not short of money.

With the monthly subsidy of one hundred gold soul coins he receives from the Spirit Hall, he is not short of money.

Last night, Ma Hongjun and I booked the entire venue for the whole night, which lasted until the early hours of the morning before finally ending our epic battle.

For Ma Hongjun, this level of intensity was nothing. Due to his martial soul, he was naturally energetic, exceeding that of ordinary people by dozens of times.

If he doesn't release the evil fire, he might explode and die.

Today's event should last at least a month.

"As expected of Tiandou City, the prices are a bit higher, but the service is much better than in Soto City."

"Back then, I even got into a fight with that guy, Bu Le, over a woman..."

Although Soto City is also a main city, and one of the most important ones, it is incomparable to Tiandou City.

"As long as I'm willing to spend the gold soul coins, isn't this much more enjoyable than facing that cold woman?"

A flicker of pain flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

He seemed genuinely happy.

You are not truly happy; your laughter is merely your own...

"Brother Dai, if you ask me, you should give up on Zhu Zhuqing as soon as possible. She's just not right for you."

"If you're always so cold and distant, neither of you will be happy."

"Aren't Little Red, Little Green, and Little Blue better?"

"It's still Wang Gang... Pshaw, anyway, Fatty, I don't think you'll be truly happy with Zhu Zhuqing."

"The moment she came to Shrek Academy, you completely changed. You're like a dog now!"

Ma Hongjun didn't care about Dai Mubai's expression. He would only say these things to his brothers, and he wouldn't bother to say them to outsiders.

Honest advice is hard to hear but beneficial. Although he said these words without thinking and they were very unpleasant, he truly meant well for Dai Mubai.

"Do I look like a dog?"

Dai Mubai stared wide-eyed at Ma Hongjun in disbelief.

"Yeah, he's always hanging around Zhu Zhuqing, but she won't even give him a tough nut to crack."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai fell into deep thought. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

When Zhu Zhuqing arrived, he felt that he had made mistakes in the past and felt very guilty towards her. As a result, he stopped contacting all the women from his past.

Such a drastic change, yet Zhu Zhuqing remained unmoved, which truly infuriated him.

When a man goes out, he might spend a little money on casual encounters. What's wrong with that?

Was he wrong to wear Dai Mubai?

Even if he made a mistake, he corrected it!

But Zhu Zhuqing just wouldn't let go of this!

Not only that, she also went to a hotel with that man!

Just thinking about it made Dai Mubai's scalp tingle and he felt completely unwell.

"Zhu Zhuqing..."

"Fatty, you're right. I have to go back to my old self. As for Zhu Zhuqing, let her go to hell!"

Dai Mubai suddenly spoke loudly, as if he had figured it out.

What could he do? Fight Zhong Li to the death?

"That's right, Boss Dai!"

Ma Hongjun patted Dai Mubai on the shoulder and said with a look of satisfaction.

"Just pretend she doesn't exist, and you'll definitely be able to go back to the happiness you used to be!"

"good!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Everything is understood without words.

"Will Mu Bai be led astray by Hong Jun?"

Around the corner not far away, a middle-aged man wearing glasses murmured, "I don't think so?"
