NOVEL FROG “Yeah! They are from the pond beside the greenhouse! Well! They are all big and fat while none of you would catch them and make a feast out of it, so I decided to help! You should all be thankful, or else you could never have delicious grilled fish like this! Am I right, Pei Siyan?”
Not only did Jiang Sheng say it, but he also asked Pei Siyan with pride.
Hei Ming coughed right after Jiang Sheng asked, implying him to shut up.
But Jiang Sheng failed to understand that; instead, he was still pointing at the kitchen and said to Pei Siyan, “We got more in there. A dozen I think? I made the cook make them dry for me. I’ll tell you when they are ready.”
“I want some too! I’ll take some back home and let the other brothers have a taste of it!” Pei Lele raised her hand to apply for some dried fish.
Because she had no idea that they were eating the magic fish, she thought it was just some regular fish.
“I’m afraid that they won’t have the fortune to taste it.”
Pei Siyan finally opened his mouth and spoke with absolute calmness in his voice, which was so calm that it made others felt cold and chilly.
Pei Lele was terrified right away, “Then, then I’ll take none.”
‘What is happening now? Why do I feel like Siyan is having a fit?’
Pei Lele gave Jiang Sheng a look immediately, asking him what is happening.
But Pei Siyan’s face looked cold even at usual times, so how could Jiang Sheng tell if he was mad or not? Consequently, Jiang Sheng gave her an impatient look in response.
‘I’m not the one who doesn’t give her the fish! It is Pei Siyan! Why is she looking at me like that?’
‘Oh come on! Is he dumb or something? Doesn’t he get what my eyes are saying?’
Pei Lele put her hand on the forehead for Jiang Sheng had failed to communicate with her eyes.
“Bai Hao, make him a list.” Pei Siyan gave a cold order to Bai Hao and continued eating.
“Okay.”
Bai Hao had recovered from the shock; he took out his pen and paper, clearly was writing something. Then he handed it over to Jiang Sheng who was still puzzled.
“What is going on now?” Jiang Sheng took over the sheet of paper with confusion on his face; he sucked his chopsticks and took a quick look at it. Then, his expression changed as if he could not understand what was written on the table.
“Ugh, magic fish? Ten million yuan for one? Affection plant? Half a million for one?”
Jiang Sheng scratched his head and looked up at Pei Siyan blankly, asking, “What are these?”
“Explain it to him.” Pei Siyan didn’t explain it himself, yet he picked another piece of fish in his bowl and asked Bai Hao to do the work.
“Okay, here’s the deal.” Bai Hao cleared his throat and then explained, “The fish you just caught is the magic fish from our magic world, and it takes hundreds of years to be fully grown, which can be used to be extracted to an important ingredient for medicine. Each one of them is rare and can’t even be bought with money easily. As for the affection plant, they are a plant that is hard to cultivate in the human world. They have aphrodisiac effects on every race of creatures except for humans and are very popular. Half a million for one is actually a discounted price considering you as a friend of mine.”
“What? Magic world?” Jiang Sheng was bewildered; he racked his brains and asked, “What language are you using now? I feel like I’m having trouble understanding what you just said.”
“Do you understand what he said, Pei Lele?” Jiang Sheng turned to Pei Lele for help.
But Pei Lele was about to pass out for she just knew she had eaten the magic fish Pei Siyan kept for business.
“I, I… I know nothing about it. That’s none of my business.”
Pei Lele mumbled in panic and really passed out after that.
Hei Ming caught her immediately and held her in his arms.
“Um well, I, I got some business out there, so I’m leaving first.” Fan Xiao left in a hurry with his face pale.
“What the hell is wrong with you all?” Jiang Sheng was still unable to understand what was happening.
“It’s simple. Now you are owing me billions of yuan. Sign a contract later, and I’ll not let you leave until the day you pay every cent of it.”
“What? I’m owing you billions? For those dumb fish and weird flowers?”
Jiang Sheng was still unable to understand what had happened. He just had some grilled fish and picked some flowers while now he owed Pei Siyan billions. What’s even worse, he sold himself somehow.
