Chapter 41: Fooling, then lying
"There's nothing to be shocked about. It's just an injured commander." Hua Yu said lightly.
It was indeed not difficult for him to kill the commander, but such a thing would be extremely exaggerated in the eyes of others.
Even with the presence of high-level wizards, a team of wizards would not dare to say with 100% certainty that they could defeat a commander-level demon, let alone kill it.
The strength of creatures that can become leaders may vary, but they must have special escape skills or means of mutual destruction that make the opponent fear them.
"Nothing more than that? Brother, do you want to listen to what you are saying?" Xiao Liu said unhappily. He could see that this guy was a Versailles person.
"Pfft, Brother Xiaoyu, you are so pretentious." Jiang Shaoxu in his arms also spoke.
Hua Yu looked down at Jiang Shaoxu and said with a smile, "You can tease me now. It looks like you are fine now. How about coming down for a walk?"
"No." Jiang Shaoxu quickly shook his head, and then showed a look of fear. His body trembled slightly, and he hugged Hua Yu's neck tightly with both hands, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
That pitiful look made Hua Yu smile bitterly and shook his head. Girl, you have great acting skills. The Oscars will definitely give you a golden statue this year.
By the way, is this still the bold-looking Jiang Shaoxu in the original novel?
Hua Yu looked down at her and couldn't help but fall into thought.
"Hua boy, although you said that, we still have to go and take a look. In addition, it will cost a lot of money to recover the body of a commander-level demon. We can take it back." After spending a long time to digest the news that Hua Yu killed a commander-level demon, Zhang Ying spoke.
Hua Yu then remembered that in this world, the corpses of demons are also human wealth.
After all, demons possess far more resources than humans, and their powerful bodies have absorbed a lot of natural energy, which means that their corpses contain the essence of nature.
After they die, they become a mine that absorbs countless energy, and can naturally be recycled at a high price.
What a pity, those corpses in the deserted city of Jinlin.
Hua Yu, who now has children to raise, gradually begins to have trouble with money. He can't really let his father raise five children at once, including himself!
Moreover, Hua Yu knew that with his own temperament, if he encountered some strange demon cubs again, he might take them back to raise them.
I have to find a way to earn money for milk powder!
"Zhang Juntong, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll take her back first. We can divide the body equally among the six of us when we get the price it can fetch."
Although it cost money, Hua Yu still did not choose to keep it all to himself, so that the five people's trip was not in vain.
As for those water protection stones, they can forget about it, Hua Yu will only give them to Jiang Shaoxu.
"How can this be possible?" Zhang Ying quickly refused.
They didn't contribute much on this trip, but the corpse of a commander-level demon could be sold for about 20 million, which meant that their team of five picked up more than 16 million for free.
Naturally, they were unwilling to accept such a huge amount of money for nothing.
"Okay, just do as I say."
Hua Yu smiled slightly, and without giving Zhang Ying and the others a chance to refuse, he left directly with Jiang Shaoxu in his arms.
Several mid-level mages in the team looked at each other, with some joy in their eyes.
"Okay, stop looking and get to work." Zhang Ying waved at them.
After everyone left, Zhang Ying looked again at the direction Hua Yu left, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
-
After Hua Yu brought Jiang Shaoxu out of the cave, he put her down regardless of her struggle.
This naturally caused Jiang Shaoxu's dissatisfaction.
"Hmph! You're such a straight man. Even if I give you a chance, it's useless." Jiang Shaoxu turned his head away and muttered softly.
With Hua Yu's hearing ability, he naturally heard everything word for word. He knocked on Jiang Shaoxu's head in annoyance. Who are you insulting?
"Hey, what are you doing?" Jiang Shaoxu covered his head and asked Hua Yu.
"Fuck." Hua Yu said subconsciously.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shaoxu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Hua Yu in disbelief.
Brother Xiaoyu, why are you walking in my way?
As an experienced person, she is not like those innocent girls who blush easily when they hear some dirty jokes.
Her face only turns red for her lover!
Jiang Shaoxu blinked and looked Hua Yu up and down. The half-smile at the corner of his mouth seemed to be saying, "Not bad, you have made some progress."
Hua Yu coughed twice until he felt uncomfortable being looked at by Jiang Shaoxu, and then asked, "Why are you here?"
It would have been fine if Hua Yu didn't mention this, but as soon as he mentioned it, Jiang Shaoxu couldn't help but complain and glared at him.
"It's you. Last time dad said you were coming to the capital, I thought you would come to see me, but you went to participate in some exchange student competition and didn't even look at me. What's wrong? Are you so busy? Or have you forgotten me?"
"How could it be? How could I forget you?"
Although I haven't forgotten, I don't dare to visit you casually because of your father and your protective brother.
Of course, Hua Yu would not say such a thing. He smiled awkwardly and went on to explain, "I am indeed a bit busy. As soon as I arrived in the imperial capital, I practiced in seclusion under the guidance of my master for a period of time. Then there was the exchange student competition. I wanted to see you, but I didn't have the time. I thought I would go see you after the exchange student competition is over. By then, I will have more time and we can get together better."
Hua Yu said this without blushing or beating his heart, and even he himself believed it, let alone Jiang Shaoxu.
Jiang Shaoxu's mood improved a lot, and he seemed to have forgiven Hua Yu.
"Master? Pang Lai."
"You know all this. It seems that you know a lot about me."
"You think I am you? I'm afraid you haven't paid any attention to me all these years." Jiang Shaoxu said with a smile.
When she heard that Hua Yu was in danger in the deserted city of Jinlin, she was extremely anxious and went all the way south and found this place.
Now that she saw Hua Yu was full of energy, she felt relieved.
"Major in the spiritual system, and secondary in the light system." Hua Yu smiled slightly and said to Jiang Shaoxu seriously.
His smile slowly blossomed, with a hint of doting, and the deep affection in his eyes made Jiang Shaoxu deeply attracted by it.
Of course she knew what Hua Yu meant. What he just talked about was his magic department. He wanted to tell her that he had been paying attention to her all these years.
"You still have some conscience." Jiang Shaoxu said with a smile.
There is conscience, but not much!
Hua Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he knew Jiang Shaoxu's magic department, so he managed to get away with this matter.
After returning, Hua Yu said goodbye to his father Hua Zhanhong and temporarily left the Southern Military Region.
In the next few days, he took Jiang Shaoxu to travel around and relax completely.
