Chapter 273: Scheme for Ice Jade Herbs (1)
One night of careful deliberation brought Mo Fei an idea: to take by strategy.
Their target was the Icy Jade Herbs, not the Ice Howl. So they could definitely draw the creature away and seize the chance to take the herbs.
Mo Fei crouched in front of the double-headed turtledove with a tuft of black hair on its head, coaxing, “Little black hair! Well, your job is simple. Hang this ice crystal around your neck and lead the Ice Howl away. Simple like eating, right?”
The black-haired two-headed turtledove flapped its wings and turned a deaf ear to Mo Fei.
“Qian Ye, what did the bird say?” Lou Yu asked curiously.
Qian Ye sighed helplessly, “He said he’s the householder and has to support and be responsible for his family. He cannot risk himself to do such a dangerous thing.”
Mo Fei said earnestly, “Black hair, well, it’s not dangerous at all. Look! You can fly, but the Ice Howl can’t catch up with you without wings. You can take it as making sightseeing in his territory.”
The double-headed turtledove flapped its wings again and chirped twice.
Lou Yu looked towards Qian Ye for an interpretation. “Black hair said, on seeing a star beast of higher level, it’d make his wings soft and wants to pee.”
Lou Yu, “…”
Mo Fei took out two tubes of grade six potions and shook them in front of the black hair. “Little black hair! These two potions are yours if you can make it.”
The double-headed turtledove cocked its head and then flapped its wings five times.
Qian Ye said teeth-clenched, “You silly black-hearted bird, what did you say? You want ten? Do you think the potions were all blown here by winds?” Even birds knew bargain! The moral degeneration of the world was getting worse day by day and human hearts, oh, nope, birds’ hearts were not what they had been in the old days.
Lou Yu snorted crossly, “Hum, you silly bird, you have a lion’s mouth.”
Hearing the words of Lou Yu and Qian Ye, the double-headed turtledove gave them a glare and turned back at them with its butt.
Mo Fei frowned, “You’re asking for too many, five at most.”
The turtledove rolled its eyes and let out a warble.
Mo Fei hesitated a bit before nodding, “Then six.”
The beast thought about it for a moment, then nodded reluctantly and warbled again.
Mo Fei said disapprovingly, “What? Pay you now? Nope, cash on delivery is the rule of buying and selling. We’re not sure if you would flake out on us if we give you them now.”
The turtledove flapped its wings with a high head, indicating that he was a good bird with moral standard and would not do such a thing as Mo Fei said.
Mo Fei still showed a disapprovingly face.
Looking at his indifferent face, another plan was born in the bird’s head.
Lou Yu asked Qian Ye curiously, “What did he say?”
Qian Ye shook his head helplessly, “He said need five potions as the deposit.”
Mo Fei squinted, staring at black hair, “No way! At most two.”
The black hair nodded in reluctance and grabbed the two potions from Mo Fei’s hands with his claws quickly.
Lou Yu looked at black hair and sighed, “The bird is really smart!”
Qian Ye was full of approval, “Yes, much smarter than you, my prince.”
Lou Yu could not utter a word.
Zheng Xuan crossed his arms and looked at Lou Yu, puzzled, “My prince, Qian Ye’s brain is not normal. Why are you listening to him? To provoke an Ice Howl for a few cosmetic herbs. Is it really worth it?”
“Childe Zheng, a person should have the consciousness of throwing caution to the wind in order to be beautiful. Life without pursuit is absolutely a chronic self-destruction!” Qian Ye criticized while brushing his hair.
Zheng Xuan looked at Lou Yu oddly, “My prince, have you fallen in love with cosmetology recently?”
Lou Yu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, “That herb is of great importance and benefit a lot to Mo Fei, far more than that.”
Zheng Xuan nodded, accepting Lou Yu’s answer reluctantly.
When Lou Yu saw Su Rong come from a distance, he paused, “Su Rong, you’ve reached level five already?”
Su Rong nodded, “Yes! Last night.”
Su Rong’s talent was good. He had the help of cultivation formations, plus Mo Fei’s promotion potions. His breakthrough to level five was just a matter of time.
Mo Yi nodded to Su Rong, “Congratulations.”
Su Rong smiled joyfully at Mo Yi. The scene nearly made Zheng Xuan’s hair stand on its end.
Su Rong scratched his head, thinking in his heart: The surroundings really had a great influence on a person. He had never dared to dream of promoting to level five star magician at this age. When the fellows around him made breakthroughs one after another, he had the motivation not to fall behind, so he could only muster all his strength to cultivate hard.
Black hair could be regarded as a responsible good bird. After drinking the potion, he started off bravely.
Lou Yu, Qian Ye, and others followed up.
