Junior Disciple C

Whether Feng Ye knew or not, Hao Chen still didn't know.

Because Feng Ye asked these two times, it seemed that he was deliberately teasing him, and it seemed that he was simply looking for someone to agree.

Unaware of the current situation, Hao Chen did not act rashly for the sake of caution, and he gave an ambiguous "hmm".

Although it is not a good thing to say that others are fat in the world, it is not good for spirits. A plump body is a symbol of strength, so the crab thinks that Feng Ye is praising his family's lord by saying this, so instead of Objected, but echoed by spitting bubbles.

Of course, Hao Chen didn't think so, he had already left this primitive aesthetic, and he didn't want to admit that he was fat.But he had no position to refute. After all, what Feng Ye was talking about was the Lord of the Northern Darkness, the Kunpeng who was tens of thousands of miles long, not his ordinary Tiangong Pavilion disciple.

This dumb loss, he can only admit it.Hao Chen held his small fan and maintained a superficial smile.

After blowing the cowhide, the crab went back to the stall again.Although the meeting started from a misunderstanding, but after chatting back and forth, the four of them seemed to be a little familiar with the crab that set up a stall.

Fang Yang couldn't hold back his curiosity, squatted on the ground and asked the crab, "What are you selling?"

He looked left and right, but he still couldn't think of what could be sold in this empty stall. It couldn't be that the crab was selling himself, could it?

Crabs are really selling themselves, or rather, selling their labor.

Crab stared at Fang Yang with two eyes on his forehead, and introduced proudly: "I am a tour guide, providing tour services for those who come to Beihai City for the first time."

"Tour guide?" Fang Yang's eyes lit up. Isn't it the four of them who came to Beihai City for the first time?

"Then can you be our tour guide?" Fang Yang asked excitedly.

The crab agreed, but at the same time as agreeing, it stretched out its pincers to Fang Yang, not attacking, but asking for money: "A thousand spirit stones."

One thousand spirit stones, this concept was converted by Feng Ye not long ago, so he reacted quickly at this moment.

To be a tour guide, an ordinary person would at most ask for three or five spirit stones, but this crab dared to ask for a thousand spirit stones, which was equivalent to the price of the mysterious magic robe that he liked but couldn't afford.

Feng Ye couldn't help but carefully took a look at the crab's shell, it was clearly a blue crab, why was it so dark-hearted, like a certain fish.

Cao Zirui didn't say anything, but as the only one of the four who brought money, he also felt that the price was too high.

But Fang Yang was directly stunned by the number, and did not respond in a daze.

The crab stretched out its pincers for a long time, but didn't ask for a dime, so it couldn't help becoming unhappy: "Do you think it's expensive?"

No one answered, but that expression clearly disliked the price.

"Hmph!" The crab hugged its two pincers in front of its chest, made a gesture of crossing its arms, and said angrily: "You get what you pay for, although the master behind the scenes in Beihai City is our lord, but the lord is far away." Heavenly Realm, it’s easy not to ask about human affairs. The real caller in Beihai City is my cousin, Boss Crab.”

Sure enough, this crab is related to Mr. Crab.Feng Ye thought so with silk.

And a certain lord, who should have been as high as the sky and the emperor was far away, began to recall whether this Beihai city was his own, or whether it was the crab or the boss of the crab, he was simply using his name as a cover ,bluff?

It's a pity that he couldn't think of a result, because his assets were too much.It is also a kind of distress to be so rich that you don't know how much assets you have.Hao Chen thought with a sigh.

Crab continued: "I am Crab Eighteen, the No. 18 cousin of Crab Boss. Whether you are an outsider or not, as long as you invite our Crab family to be your tour guide, you will never dare to black-heartedly slaughter customers in shops big and small. If you buy things here, please save us more than a thousand spirit stones."

To translate it means that his fees are very fair and he is not a black-hearted crab.

But no matter how fair it was, three of the four couldn't afford the money, so they didn't look excited.

Only Cao Zirui was thoughtful. He spent a lot of money in the secret realm of the floating island. Many elixir and instruments were used up, so it was time to buy them.

The crab added the last fire. He pointed to the pearl that Fang Yang had been holding in his hand with his pliers: "What did the person who sold you the pearl say? Did it mean that the pearl was conceived by a century-old clam essence?"

Convinced by the crab, Fang Yang and Cao Zirui looked at each other, then turned back to look at the crab together.

The crab proudly said: "He's playing tricks on you. The pearls produced by a hundred-year-old clam essence are not so cheap. Judging by the quality of the pearls, the shell essence produced must not be more than 50 years old, and the price is less than a hundred spirit stones. How much did you lose?"

He said very firmly that these two humans don't seem to be smart, and although most of their sea monsters are simple and honest, those who can get along in Beihai City are all cunning and cunning.

Anyway, these humans usually only come once every ten years, and what they do is a one-shot deal.Therefore, most of the ghosts who set up the stalls are based on the idea that they can cheat one by one, and slaughter customers to death.

Fang Yang and Cao Zirui looked at each other again, Cao Zirui looked at the pearl, then turned back again, without saying a word, took out a thousand spirit stones and put them on the crab claws.

"Deal." Although the crab's pliers were big, it moved very nimbly, and while counting the spirit stones, they finalized the deal.

Now that he has successfully sold himself, there is no need to set up a booth anymore.

When Feng Ye and the others looked curiously at where the crab, which didn't even wear clothes, was going to put the spirit stone, the crab moved and put the spirit stone on the rags it set up at the stall.

Then he rolled up the rag wrapped in the Lingshi with pliers, and made a simple small package. The crab picked up a twig from nearby, and he put the twig on the package. Picking up the package, ready to go: "The crab eighteen tour guide is at your service, where are you going to visit, or what to buy?"

Exuding a professional style.

The four were dumbfounded.

After a while, Cao Zirui came to his senses, he was the one who paid for the tour guide, and Xie Shiba was also very shrewd, he could see that only this one of the four-member team had money, so although his question was called in plural In fact, only Cao Zirui was the one who asked.

Cao Zirui touched his storage bag and thought for a while, thinking that he should add some defensive magical weapons first.

Although he already has a lot of magic weapons, more preparations can save lives at critical times.Floating Island Secret Realm and his party, he deeply realized this point.

Crab Eighteen waved his pincers after listening: "Understood."

Then he kept walking sideways, with one eye on the road ahead and the other on whether the tourists behind him were following closely.

Feng Ye: "..." I have to say that crabs who walk sideways have a natural advantage in the profession of tour guide, and they never have to be afraid of being lost by tourists.

And according to his observations along the way, the crabs really walked sideways in Beihai City.Walk sideways in various meanings.

On the way to the shop selling defensive artifacts, a group of crabs opened the way for them. Some vendors set up stalls everywhere, and the hawkers who blocked the road in the middle of the road picked up the parcels on the ground when they saw Xie Shiba just like seeing the city management. just ran away.

Xie Shiba snorted and didn't chase after him, but complained to the four people behind him: "I said you can't occupy the road, there are always some people who don't obey the rules."

The four people who were also talking in the middle of the road not long ago: "..."

Beihai City is indeed the largest island in the Beihai waters. It took four people and one crab to walk half a stick of incense before they finally reached their destination.

Xie Shiba pointed to the nearby shop, motioning for the four of them to go in.

"Turtle Shell Shop." Fang Yang looked up at the name of the shop.

As for Cao Zirui, he took a look at the environment of the shop. The shop was well decorated and looked much more reliable than those roadside stalls.

The four of them walked into the shop, and the first thing they saw was the dozens of tortoise shells on the wall facing the gate.

And the hunchback shopkeeper standing behind the counter with his hands in his sleeves.

The hunchback shopkeeper greeted Xibaba with a smile on his face: "Shiba introduced me business again?"

Xie Shiba flicked the package on the pliers: "It's just doing business with money."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and said to the four people: "There is no magic weapon with the best defensive power in Beihai City than the tortoise shells in this tortoise shell shop. Made of the tortoise shell of the spirit tortoise, its defensive power is comparable to your human's earth-level magic weapon, and the price is fair, so it's safe for children."

There is actually nothing wrong with Xie Shiba's introduction, and Feng Ye can see that the defensive power of the tortoise shells on the wall is indeed as he said, but this shop...

When Cao Zirui and Fang Yang's eyes were focused on the tortoise shell, Feng Ye couldn't help but walked to the counter and asked the hunchbacked shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, you seem to be too..." A turtle, right?

Selling the corpses of the same kind, won't your conscience hurt?

Feng Ye didn't finish his sentence, but the hunchbacked shopkeeper understood immediately. After all, most of the humans who came to this shop for the first time had such questions.

He was not angry either, and still replied with a smile: "Guests from afar don't know that, here, death is death, and there is no such thing as you humans. Underwater, I only occasionally go ashore to do business, life and death are in the sea, and I can't enter the soil."

He turned his head and pointed to the tortoise shells on the wall: "These are left by the predecessors of my clan when they died naturally or accidentally. The soul has been dispersed, and the body is just a body. It is no different from any medicinal herb or mineral. Why not use it to refine it?" Make a device and contribute to the clan."

"When I die in the future, my tortoise shell will also become one of the products here." The hunchback shopkeeper talked about his life and death, still smiling, as if he didn't care at all.

This is very different from the world where life and death are always kept secret, and even the unlucky word "death" is said three times in the world.

After listening to the hunchbacked shopkeeper, Fang Yang and Cao Zirui realized that the shopkeeper was a tortoise, and the wall was covered with corpses of his companions. Although the shopkeeper had given an explanation, they still couldn't accept it for a while.

Feng Ye nodded. Although this kind of thinking is novel, it is also very open-minded. He may not be able to accept it, but he will not criticize other people's customs.

Regarding the remarks made by the hunchback shopkeeper, Hao Chen didn't say a single word, and he wasn't surprised either. In fact, this was the traditional custom of Beiming.

However, when he saw the wall full of tortoise shells, Hao Chen couldn't help being awakened a little bit of a long-term memory. He glanced at Feng Ye with some guilt, worried that Feng Ye would discover that secret.

A good spirit is not a bad spirit, just as he thought so, Feng Ye really found out.

Feng Ye hesitantly pointed to the tortoise shell on the wall and said, "The tortoise shell belongs to the tortoise shell, but it seems that not all the tortoise shells you sell here are tortoise shells, right?"

There are about half of the tortoise shell on the wall. There are neat lines on the tortoise shell, but there is still a small half. The shell is clean, not like a turtle, but more like a bastard.

"Ignorant human beings." Before the hunchback shopkeeper could explain, Xie Shiba stood up and snorted disdainfully.

Hao Chen's eyebrows twitched, he had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Xie Shiba's next sentence was: "In our Beiming, bastards are tortoises."

Hao Chen couldn't help but spread out his little fan, wanting to silence the crab before it could tell the secret.

But Feng Ye would definitely notice if he made a move here. In the end, what Hao Chen could do was to try to cover his face with the shrunken fan.

Feng Ye couldn't help but glanced back, and saw someone who was covering his eyes with a small fan, thinking that this would cover his big face. He seemed to have sensed a hint of murderous intent just now.

Feng Ye turned back to look at Crab Eighteen again. It was obviously this crab that Hao Chen wanted to silence.Feng Ye couldn't help but wondered, what was the secret that made Hao Chen, who had always been as thick-skinned as a city wall, have the idea of ​​killing crabs and silencers.

And Xie Shiba continued without realizing it: "This matter has to be talked about a long time ago. Although Beiming is led by the Lord of Beiming, although all tribes of Beiming also worship gods as their masters, different races But they are doing their own thing, and occasionally fight over territory."

"It's okay to fight. After the fight, you have to go to the Lord to judge. The Lord is very annoying, but he can't find any solution. One day, when the Lord went to a human town to play, he heard the human beings by chance. storytelling about mythology.”

"How can mortals know the demeanor of Shangshen? The storytelling they talk about is all made up! But..." Xie Shiba changed his tone: "Sometimes, human beings are really smart."

"That's what they said in the storytelling. They said that there is a magnificent dragon palace under the sea. The luminous pearl is used for lighting, and the coral is used for the palace. The Dragon King commands the sea clan. For the convenience of management, he also set up six departments, which are managed by the prime minister."

"It's completely moving the human court's set into Pingshu. At that time, in the heaven world, the dragon in the South China Sea had not yet cultivated into a dragon. In the whole world, there was only one dragon in the East China Sea. However, there was no dragon palace at the bottom of the East China Sea. , not to mention the Six Parts of Dragon Palace."

"Although it was all human's own nonsense, the lord realized a good idea from it. After returning from the town, he summoned all the tribes of Beiming and asked them to build the same magnificent palace as in the storytelling. Then he chose Five relatively powerful tribes with comparable strengths are in charge of various matters. The human beings are called the six tribes, and when they arrive in Beiming, they are called the five sea masters."

"The five sea lords are the leaders of the five tribes. Everything is done, and there is only one prime minister who leads the overall situation."

"The tortoise clan is long-lived and wise, and they are the best candidates for the prime minister. It is also said in the storytelling that every dragon palace has a tortoise prime minister, so Beiming should also have one. The lord originally wanted to imitate the human imperial examinations and choose a test score. The tallest tortoise is prime minister."

"However, the lord has to go to cruise the Beiming Sea every day after eating, and he is exhausted. Before the exam papers are out, he is sleepy."

Isn't this just going out for a walk to digest food after eating and then getting sleepy?Feng Ye thought with a dark face.When it came to Xie Shiba's mouth, it sounded as if Hao Chen had suffered so much for the Beiming tribe.

If Xie Shiba said this before he knew Hao Chen, he might have believed it.But after getting to know Hao Chen, he was very convinced that his own thinking was correct, and Xie Shiba's remarks were completely a fan filter.

Xie Shiba couldn't get enough of Feng Ye's internal complaints, and continued on his own: "My lord wants to sleep when he's sleepy, so he doesn't have time to produce the test papers, but he sleeps for tens or hundreds of years, if he doesn't sleep before bedtime Once the prime minister is set up, there will be no one to take charge of the five sea lords he set up and the construction of the palace. So, before going to bed, he casually appointed a turtle to be the prime minister."

"However..." Xie Shiba finally talked about the main event, and Hao Chen could hardly restrain himself, wanting to kill Xie Xie without hesitation.

It's a pity that Feng Ye noticed his intention in time, and before Hao Chen could make a move, he suddenly took a step back, stood beside Hao Chen, and wrapped his arms around Hao Chen's shoulders affectionately.

It seemed to be just a very normal behavior of friends. It is normal for men to hook their shoulders, and the rest of the people who listened to the story didn't care.

But to Hao Chen, Feng Ye was not a friend.

It's a relationship that is more advanced than friends, so even though he knew that Feng Ye's arms around his shoulders were just to detect his killing intent and prevent him from doing anything, he still couldn't help being a little bit distracted by such closeness.

For a moment, he forgot to do anything, and Xie Shiba finally revealed the secret he wanted to hide in every possible way.

"Her Majesty's consciousness was a little hazy before going to bed. The turtle he was pointing at indiscriminately was not actually a turtle."

The answer is so obvious that even Fang Yang guessed: "Bastard?"

The hunchback shopkeeper nodded affirmatively, and took over Xie Shiba to continue: "Although everyone knows that the Lord pointed out the wrong turtle, the Lord fell asleep after pointing it out, and I dare not disturb you. A series of matters still need to be resolved." The Prime Minister is in charge, so even if the meaning is wrong, 'Prime Minister Turtle' still has to take office."

"Hundred years later, the lord woke up again, and finally found out that he referred to the turtle as a turtle. But...you also know..." The hunchbacked shopkeeper smiled: "The lord must want to save face. To take care of the Lord's face, they all tacitly said that 'Prime Minister Turtle' is a tortoise, not a bastard."

"So, in Beiming, bastard is equal to tortoise." Xie Shiba concluded.

after a brief silence.

"Puff." Fang Yang burst out laughing first, and then Cao Zirui couldn't help his cold face, and curled the corners of his lips.

Along with the laughter, Hao Chen, who had been distracted by Feng Ye's approach, immediately came to his senses, realizing that his reputation was irretrievable.

He clenched the hand holding the small fan tightly, and the spiritual energy around him was a little disordered, and he looked like he was about to turn into anger from embarrassment.

"Cough cough." Feng Ye coughed twice, using the coughing sound to cover up the smile in his throat.

He realized that the fish he was holding was about to go berserk, so instead of provoking Hao Chen with laughter, he tilted his head to look at Hao Chen pretending to be serious and said, "I've always heard about Kunpeng's great reputation, but I didn't think so. Know..."

Did you know what?Hao Chen waited anxiously for Feng Ye's adjectives, but it was expected that Feng Ye would hate him if he could, and would hate him if he couldn't create opportunities, which would not be a good word.

This time, Feng Ye knew about such a big blemish, and it was more than enough to laugh at him for three lives.

His fame in the first life was ruined by this crab.Thinking of this, Hao Chen couldn't help but gave the unaware crab a vicious look, and he couldn't help but want to knock the bully crab to death.

Seeing this, Feng Ye suddenly bent his lips and smiled, his serious expression was no longer there, and there was a smile from the bottom of his eyes and brows: "This majestic Lord of the Northern Darkness is also quite cute."

Hao Chen stared at Feng Ye's smile in a daze, and didn't know whether it was the strange insanity attached to the smile, or the magnetic voice vibrating back and forth in his ear was alluring.

Hao Chen clutched his chest, his heart beat out of rhythm again.
