Old Ma came back in the evening. When he entered the backyard, he saw Lu Chen sitting there and drinking by himself. Atsu had woken up from its sleep, but at this moment, it had slipped to the corner of the courtyard wall and was happily gnawing on a large piece of meat.
Needless to say, this was the food that Lu Chen had given it.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk …" Old Ma exclaimed, then walked to Lu Chen's side and sat down. Looking at Atsu, he said to Lu Chen, "A dog that eats a large piece of high-grade demonic beast meat every day, even in a place like the Immortal City, where there are countless rich people, it is definitely rare. The two of us can't do it, but this dog can definitely be ranked at the top of the dog clan in the Immortal City! "
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Are you still jealous of this dog Atsu?"
"Humans are inferior to dogs!" Old Ma sighed, then turned his head.
However, Lu Chen waved his hand, raised his eyebrows, and said casually, "Don't talk nonsense. Now, Atsu can eat so freely because of Fuyunji. Anyway, it's not our money. A house full of demonic beast meat is expensive, and it's all public property. It's a waste not to eat it."
Old Ma curled his lips, looking a little disdainful, and said, "With your selfish thoughts at the expense of the public, you still dared to talk to me about the righteous path of the common people yesterday. Don't you feel guilty?"
Hearing the words "the righteous path of the common people", before Old Ma's voice fell, Lu Chen hurriedly said with a serious expression, "I am brave and upright, don't speak nonsense to slander me. And those are two completely different things. Atsu eating meat has nothing to do with my righteous path! "
Old Ma nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, I believe you, I believe you."
Lu Chen laughed. After a while, he patted Old Ma's shoulder and asked with a smile, "Don't talk about this. Did you get anything today?"
"I've gained a lot!" Old Ma replied with a smile, looking very happy.
…
"When I went to look for Hall Leader Xue, I was too embarrassed to tell him the amount of money we wanted," said Old Ma with a sigh.
Lu Chen snorted and said rudely, "Cut the crap! I've known you for more than ten years, and I've never seen you so shy. It would be strange if you didn't say it. "
Old Ma was furious and shouted, "Bullshit! How could I be such a person? "
Lu Chen nodded slowly and confidently. "You are indeed this kind of person. Otherwise, why would you go to Fuyunji?"
Old Ma was startled, but he didn't get angry. After thinking for a while, he actually nodded and said, "Hmm, what you said seems to make some sense."
Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "Tell me, how much money did you ask for? And what was Xue Ying's reaction? Did she agree? "
Old Ma said, "At that time, I mustered up my courage … Hey, can you not look at me like that? Uh, alright, I thickened my face and told her that we were going to do something big and needed money, so we needed thirty thousand spiritual stones …"
"I'll go!" Lu Chen was holding a glass of wine in his hand. Hearing this, he almost spilled the wine on himself. With great difficulty, he grabbed the glass firmly and immediately raised his head to stare at Old Ma. "What did you say? How much was it again?"
Old Ma laughed dryly and stretched out three fingers. "Thirty thousand spiritual stones."
Lu Chen sized up Old Horse's fat body from head to toe, and then sighed, "It's been so many years, but I still haven't seen through you. Damn fat pig, you're even more thick-skinned and black-hearted than I thought!"
"Hey! It's fine if you say I'm thick-skinned and black-hearted, but don't call me a fat pig and curse me. "Old Ma sat there and protested unhappily.
Lu Chen snorted again. At this time, he casually poured the wine in his hand into his mouth and said sarcastically, "Yesterday, didn't you only ask for one or two thousand spiritual stones? Let me tell you, why don't you ask for ten or twenty thousand? You ran over yourself and actually added another ten thousand spiritual stones, this is too … "
For a moment, he didn't know what to say and could only shake his head.
Old Ma shrugged and looked like he was ready to risk everything. "This is what I think. Anyway, at this point, there is not much difference between ten thousand, twenty thousand, and thirty thousand. Why not say thirty thousand? First, ask for a sky-high price, and then wait for her to return the money."
Lu Chen nodded and smiled. "Hmm, what you said makes a lot of sense! Now please tell me, how did our Hall Leader Xue Ying react when she heard your price? "
"She sat there for a long time and didn't move. After staring at me for a while, she kicked me over and then chased me out!" Old Ma said honestly and spread his hands.
"This is what you meant by a big gain?" Lu Chen looked at Old Ma unhappily.
Old Ma grunted. He thought for a moment and said, "At least we know that Xue Ying can't give us thirty thousand spiritual stones, right? Next time when we ask for money, we'll just ask for less. "
Lu Chen put his hand on his forehead. He didn't want to look at his friend anymore.
…
When the sky gradually darkened, countless houses in the corners of the Immortal City lit up one after another. Looking from afar, this city didn't show any signs of being quiet in the night. Instead, it looked even more brilliant under the night sky. Even the night seemed to become noisy and lively under the contrast of this city.
Perhaps this was a city that didn't sleep!
In the night, many interesting or strange things would appear. Some of these things didn't exist during the day. For example, there were many different shops that closed during the day and only opened at night.
In the Immortal City, people usually called these places that only opened at night "nightclubs".
Lu Chen and Old Ma walked on the flat and spacious streets of the Immortal City in the night. Looking at the bustling crowd around them, they felt a little emotional.
"At Qingshuitang Village, the entire village should be asleep by now, right?" Old Ma turned and asked Lu Chen.
"Definitely. In that shabby village, there's nothing to do but sleep." Lu Chen looked at the lively scene around him with interest and sighed.
Old Ma laughed happily and said, "Hey, seriously, after we finish this job and earn a lot of money, we'll find a corner in this Immortal City to stay. What do you think?"
He sighed and said, "There's probably no better place in the world than here."
"Pfft!" Lu Chen said, "Wake up. This is naturally the best place in the world, but the people who can live a good life here are all top rich people. Don't you know how much the housing prices in this Immortal City are? What right do you have to think about this? "
Old Ma was stunned. After a moment of silence, he revealed a dejected expression and said, "You're right. It seems like we really can't afford it."
"So don't think about it. Let's go. There's a nightclub in front. Let's go and take a look." Lu Chen pulled Old Ma and walked forward with a smile.
Old Ma also chuckled, but then he seemed to think of something and asked Lu Chen worriedly, "Oh right, the two of us ran out like this and left Atsu alone at home. Isn't that bad?"
"It's fine." Lu Chen said absent-mindedly, "Don't worry. That guy will sleep until dawn after he's full. He'll be fine."
Old Ma glanced at him, then nodded and said, "Oh."
At this time, Lu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed to somewhere in front of them and said with a smile, "We're here. I've long heard that the nightclubs in the Immortal City are unparalleled in the world. Let's come and broaden our horizons today."
Old Ma turned his head and saw a brilliant and bustling scene in front of him. Beautiful purple and red flowers bloomed in the night, adding a bit of charm to the night. Red lights swayed and fluttered with the wind. A tall building rose from the ground. Countless young and beautiful faces stretched out their red sleeves and laughed on the building.
The night gradually darkened and the lights were brilliant. The light shone over and seemed to pull their figures over, hiding them in the depths of the lights.
