Shaking all sorts of items inside his dimensionpouch, Innkeeper Zhu politely bid the associate dean farewell. He didnât wantany unexpected incidents.
Liu Tianshan and the others did not forget tocollect the lunch boxes to bring with them. He believed that what just happenedwould be a common occurrence in the future.
After they have depart, everybody was full. The oneswho only had 1 lunch box wish theyâve had more. The ones that had 2 pattedtheir belly in a satisfying manner. The meal was expensive, but it wascertainly delicious.
Mu Qingtong seemed to be in much better mood afterhe ate. Smacking his lips, he said, âHow come thereâs only food but no water? Abottle of mystical water would be perfect right about now!â
His words brought about a lot of agreement from thecrowd. Itâd be perfect if they could have some mystical water!
âYou want water? I got some here!â
An irritating voice came from the woods. It was thenwhen they realized there was someone else in the woods.
Especially the associate dean, his eyes widened andwatched Cheng Xiao Xiao descended from the tree in surprise. He had no ideasince when has she arrived in the woods.
At that moment, the associate dean realized he hadunderestimated the little brat.
âWell, old man, you want some water?â Cheng XiaoXiao lifted her brows slightly and asked under his peculiar look.
âYes, of course. You are going to charge onemystical stone for one bottle of water?â asked the associate dean calmly.
âYou are smart, old man!â Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled andcontinued, âBut you are wrong. This time it isnât one stone for one bottle ofwater, itâs two!â
âWhy donât you go rob!â
A chubby guy shouted out. Hearing that, Cheng XiaoXiao looked at him from the corner of his eyes and smiled, âI do want to, but Istill need targets that I can rob from. In any case, I didnât rob you. If youwant water, you will have to buy them. If you donât, I wonât force you either!â\nâHrm, hrm. Who said I donât want any. So what if itcosts 2 mystical stones? I can afford it!â The chubby guy disgruntledly fishedout 2 mystical stones and tossed them over.
Cheng Xiao Xiao reached out and caught the moneybefore tossing him the water bottle, âDonât throw away the water bottle whenyou are done. Otherwise you will have to provide your won water bottle nexttime.â
âFine! Whatever!â The chubby guy hurriedly twistedopen the bottle and started gulping down the water. Over half of the water inthe bottle was gone in no time.
After he had enough, he rubbed his mouth and smiled,âBoy, was that satisfying!â
Looking at the way he drank made others want to buywater but they still felt that it was too expensive. All she did was to drawthe water from a well and she wanted to sell it to them for 2 stones? That wasway too expensive.
That being said, human needs water, especially rightafter a meal. Everybody wanted to have some water, but didnât want to pay forthem. All the students turned and looked at the associate dean and hooped hewould stand up for them and have the water distributed to them instead of soldto them.
But they were doomed to be disappointed, even theassociate dean had reached into his pouch and produced two mystical stones forwater.
Helplessness, unreconciled, unjust, anger were someof the emotions felt by the crowd, yet they produced their own goods to tradefor mystical water nonetheless.
Not too long, everybody had bought a bottle of water.They drank the water satisfyingly; Cheng Xiao Xiao collected her paymentsatisfyingly. These type of trade was more satisfying than robbing someone;even though Cheng Xiao Xiao had never robbed anyone, but she felt that thistopped robbing.
All but one person bought water from her. Nobodyknew whether it was intentional on Cheng Xiao Xiaoâs part, or that he didnâtwant to buy it from her. That one person was Gu Junxian.\n___
