Chapter 208 - The Pig with High EQ
Chapter 208: The Pig with High EQ
Lu Ping thought about it and decided to take the Fire Spirit ring off the shelf temporarily and take it to the shopping center for recycling.
This way, he should be able to monetize it faster!
He did as he thought and took his Fire Spirit ring off the shelf from Universe Treasure.
Lu Ping left the house.
At this moment, beside Sun Wukong, there was a fat man.
It was Zhu Bajie, aka Pig.
“Sun Wukong, you came here just to monitor Kong Xuan?”
Zhu Bajie didn’t believe what Sun Wukong said.
With Sun Wukong’s personality, it was very likely that he would reject this kind of work.
“That’s right! We are here to monitor him!” Sun Wukong didn’t want to bother with Zhu Bajie.
This guy always took advantage of others and ran away whenever he had something to do. Who knew when he would be able to trick you again.
Zhu Bajie’s eyes flashed as he said with a smile, “Then what did Kong Xuan do?”
“How would I know?” Sun Wukong would not tell Zhu Bajie about his and Kong Xuan’s plans.
The fewer people who knew about this matter, the better!
Zhu Bajie fell into deep thought.
If he were to follow Kong Xuan, once he was discovered, he might be beaten up and damage his reputation for nothing.
What should he do?
Zhu Bajie pondered for a while before he smiled apologetically and said, “My good brother, Sun Wukong, we are all on Mount Numinous together. You know what I have been thinking all these years. We are fellow disciples after all. That Sand Monk and White Dragon Horse are not on the same side as you. I, Zhu Bajie, have always listened to your orders. Since you have benefits, you have to help me out.”
It had to be said that Zhu Bajie’s words had hit the Sun Wukong’s soft spot.
After going up to Mount Numinous, the Sand Monk was conferred the title of Golden Arhat, and the White Dragon Horse was conferred the title of Eight Heavenly Dragons. The two of them were only curtain-rolling generals.
Although they were said to be generals, it was just a nice title. In reality, they were not even considered saints.
There were only 365 saints in the Heavenly Court.
As for the rest, according to reality, they were not made up of people.
The 365 saints were made up of people.
In reality, Zhu Bajie’s Heavenly River General was one of the four great guardians of Emperor Taihuang in the North Pole. He was the leader of the four saints in the North Pole and was one of them. He had a high position and authority.
The Sand Monk was just a figurehead. His actual role was similar to that of the eunuchs in the imperial palace.
The difference between the two was like the difference between the clouds and the ground.
The Sand Monk becoming an Arhat was a genuine promotion. He could also enjoy some incense offerings. It was much better than before.
The White Dragon Horse was originally a dragon of the four seas. Using the power of the Buddha to transform into the Eight Heavenly Dragons could be considered to be a great benefit.
These two people could be said to be completely devoted to enjoying a peaceful life on Mount Numinous.
After going to Mount Numinous, they had even less contact with the Sun Wukong.
However, Zhu Bajie had been assigned an emissary to cleanse the altar. Instead of ascending, he was demoted. He was even worse than the Sand Monk and the White Dragon Horse.
How depressed was he?
He also knew that the Golden Cicada Master had used this opportunity to become a Buddha. The Sand Monk and the White Dragon Horse had both obtained benefits and were extremely grateful to Mount Numinous.
Only Sun Wukong had benefits. However, Sun Wukong was restless and wanted to be at ease.
For so many years, Zhu Bajie had come to chat with Wukong.
On the contrary, the relationship between the two was the closest.
Hearing his sincere words, Sun Wukong could not bear it and said in a deep voice, “What do you want to do?”
“Sun Wukong, whatever you want to do, I, Zhu Bajie, will do as well.”
This was emotional intelligence.
Sun Wukong pondered for a moment and sneered, “You better think carefully. If your plan fails, you might have to be tortured in some way!”
This was indeed true.
After all they had done, they would not die.
However, once they were discovered, they would not be able to escape punishment.
It was normal for them to be beaten up after being sent to Samsara.
It was not surprising if they were suppressed.
In general, there would definitely be punishment.
Hearing this, Zhu Bajie immediately understood that Sun Wukong really had thoughts.
He hurriedly said, “Sun Wukong, don’t worry. I am not afraid!”
After being a descendant for so many years, he was already filled with anger.
He was the leader of the Heavenly Court’s Water Army, above all others.
Now, he could only follow behind others to pick up leftovers.
Could he be in a good mood?
Most importantly, there was no hope of promotion.
This was the most important point.
When one was poor, one would think of change.
Seeing how determined Zhu Bajie was, Sun Wukong did not hide it anymore and said, “Let’s go, follow me to meet someone!”
In the shopping mall, Lu Ping was walking through the magic treasure stores.
Just like before, these magic treasure stores were also collecting magic treasures.
A bespectacled man pushed up his glasses and said, “Can I try your magic treasure?”
Lu Ping nodded. He did not expect this. Although the magic treasure had not been refined, it could still be activated with a little more Qi.
The only thing was that its power would be reduced.
However, these people had been in this business for a long time. The strength of the magic treasure would be known with a try.
The bespectacled man and Lu Ping came to a quiet room.
The surroundings were specially made. By activating the attack, one could directly test its power.
An offensive magic treasure was the easiest to test.
The bespectacled man injected his Qi into the magic treasure. Suddenly, a flaming dragon soared into the sky and crashed into the wall!
In an instant, the entire room was covered in flames!
The bespectacled man sucked in a breath of cold air.
In fact, Lu Ping’s ring had absorbed a large amount of pure fire-type Qi. It was even stronger than ordinary high-grade magic treasures.
The man said in a deep voice, “I can offer you 480,000 star dollars!”
Lu Ping sighed inwardly. This price was good!
The other stores only had a maximum price of 450,000.
However, logically speaking, the price was actually higher than Lu Ping’s own estimate.
Lu Ping himself had only listed the price at 400,000 star dollars.
He didn’t expect that after coming here, it would actually be higher than before.
“Okay, then I’ll sell it!” Lu Ping agreed to sell it.
After the boss transferred the star dollars over, Lu Ping put away his phone and left.
Seeing Lu Ping leave, the man pushed his glasses.
He took out his phone and made a call.
“A Foundation Establishment stage kid just sold a magic treasure to me. It costs 480,000 star dollars. I’ll send you the photo.”
He hung up.
The bespectacled man’s lips curled up!
“Hmph, I wanted you to sell it to me! A mere Foundation Establishment stage kid, huh? No one will know if you disappear!”
Buying a magic treasure and selling it for a profit was one thing.
But if he killed Lu Ping and took his storage ring, who knew how much profit there would be?
There was no shortage of people who dared take risks.
Lu Ping didn’t know that when he walked out of the shopping center, a fifth level Golden Core cultivator had followed behind him.
However, just as he walked out, he saw Uncle Sun leading a fat man and appearing at the door.
“Hey, what a coincidence!” Sun Wukong greeted Lu Ping.
Lu Ping smiled and said, “Uncle Sun, who is this…”
“My junior, his surname is Zhu.” Sun Wukong pointed at Zhu Bajie and introduced him.
“So it’s Mr. Zhu.” Lu Ping cupped his hands and bowed.
Zhu Bajie looked at Lu Ping.
Wasn’t he just a small Foundation Establishment stage cultivator?
Couldn’t he be crushed to death with just a finger?
However, it was very clear that since Sun Wukong had brought him to see this kid, there was definitely something fishy going on.
