Douluo: Eternal Life from the Legend of Dragon King

Chapter 58: Miss Mu pays for the bill
"How come you like collecting treasures and money just like the treasure-hunting rat among the soul beasts?"

"I just said I would give you money or treasures, and you compromised so easily?"

Mu Xi laughed for a long time before stopping. Then she tapped Chen Xi's forehead and chuckled teasingly.

The general meaning of what Chen Xi said just now was that if Mu Xi really wanted to give him money or treasures, he would indeed do that to Mu Xi.

But Chen Xi was not wrong. After all, it was indeed past the time when he said he would not do it.

"........."

On the other side, Chen Xi did not speak to refute Mu Xi's words, because he was indeed a greedy person.

As for why he likes money and treasures...isn't this a nonsense question?
Living in a complete human society, "money" is something that people need to survive...if not a necessity, it is at least one of the most important things.

Moreover, Chen Xi does not have a noble background like the son of the master of the Sea God Pavilion, the son of the ancient family head, the son of the plane, or the descendant of a big figure or a large family.

The descendants of the powerful people who stand at the top of the continent mentioned above can be said to have everything they want. They can indeed say that "they are not interested in money."

But Chen Xi couldn't do that. He was alone before, and the resources he needed for cultivation had to be bought with his own money.

Things like minerals for practicing forging, precious materials for practicing making soul guides, some food and medicinal herbs that are good for the body, etc. Which of these things doesn't require money to buy?
There is a saying that goes, money is not everything, but without money, nothing is possible.

This sentence is extremely applicable in Douluo Continent. After all, there are many precious things in this world that cannot be bought directly with money, and the trading method for these things is more often to exchange precious treasures for this method.

Or maybe you can only get it by completing certain things or meeting certain conditions proposed by the owner...

Things like immortal herbs, hundred thousand year soul bones, heavenly forged metals, etc., these extremely precious things have very small chances of being bought directly with money, and most of them are obtained through barter.

For example, if you want a certain magical herb, you have to exchange it with the owner for something of equal or higher value.

However, although Chen Xi has some greedy attributes, it is impossible for him to do anything just because others give him money.

As long as Chen Xi doesn't want to do something that is against the will of heaven, no matter how much money or treasures others give him, he won't do it...

"Because you said this, I compromised so easily."

Chen Xi suddenly looked at Mu Xi, winked at her and said with a smile.

"W-What are you talking about?! What do you mean by that?"

When Mu Xi heard Chen Xi's words, her heartbeat accelerated instantly. She felt an indescribable throbbing in her heart and became inexplicably nervous.

"Haha~ Literally."

Chen Xi chuckled and explained to Mu Xi in front of him.

This sentence really only meant what it said. If the person who made the request to Chen Xi was not Mu Xi but a stranger, then Chen Xi would not have agreed to someone else's request so easily.

Mu Xi still has some weight in Chen Xi's heart. After all, Mu Xi is the only one who can be considered a true friend to him.

However, although they are friends, judging from the way they get along, the relationship between sister and brother is more suitable for them.

"Okay, forget it, I won't say so much here."

Mu Xi pursed her lips. At this time, she also understood what Chen Xi meant. After taking a deep breath and adjusting her mood, Mu Xi returned to her previous sunny appearance, took Chen Xi's hand and ran out of the competition area.

"Let's go. I'll take you out to play for the rest of the time. I'll pay for all your expenses!"

"Hey, the boss is generous!"

Chen Xi, who was being pulled outside by Mu Xi, praised with a smile and even gave Mu Xi a thumbs up.

"........."

After seeing Chen Xi's actions, Mu Xi silently rolled his eyes at Chen Xi without saying anything.

After a while, the two people who left the competition area happened to meet Tang Wulin who was walking on the road.

"Hello, senior sister."

Tang Wulin, who was walking on the road, saw Mu Xi and greeted her.

Tang Wulin had already taken Mu Chen as his master some time ago, so when he saw Mu Xi he would directly call her "senior sister".

"Yeah, hello, Junior Brother."

Mu Xi said subconsciously when she heard Tang Wulin's greeting, but she did not stop while speaking. She just turned around and quickly replied to Tang Wulin, then continued to pull Chen Xi away.

Mu Xi's attitude towards Tang Wulin was somewhat perfunctory. After all, she had only met Tang Wulin once when Tang Wulin became Mu Chen's apprentice. Putting aside the identity of senior and junior sister, the two of them could only be regarded as strangers who had met once.

Looking at the backs of Chen Xi and Mu Xi as they left, Tang Wulin shook his head and stopped paying attention.

Chen Xi turned around and glanced at Tang Wulin. Not only was Tang Wulin now much stronger than in the original novel, he also became Mu Chen's apprentice much earlier.

"Ah~"

Chen Xi sighed in his heart. He felt that what he knew about the original Douluo Dalu was almost useless.

However... the original work that Chen Xi knew seemed to be of no use other than letting him know some unknown secrets. The current situation shouldn't have much impact... right?

"Chen Xi, I have a question for you now."

"My father accepted Tang Wulin as his disciple. What do you think about this?"

Mu Xi also noticed Chen Xi looking at Tang Wulin, and thinking about how hello he had just said to his junior brother, he slowly stopped and asked Chen Xi.

In fact, after learning that his father accepted Tang Wulin as his successor, Mu Xi felt quite indignant for Chen Xi. After all, Mu Chen had never accepted Chen Xi as his apprentice.

When Chen Xi and Mu Xi first met, Mu Xi proposed that Mu Chen accept Chen Xi as his apprentice.

However, at that time, Chen Xi was less than a second-level blacksmith, and the relationship between Chen Xi and Mu Xi was not as good as it is now, so it was normal for Mu Chen to refuse to accept Chen Xi as his apprentice.

But after Chen Xi became a third-level blacksmith, when Mu Xi was about to propose to Mu Chen that he accept Chen Xi as his successor, Mu Chen suddenly left for a while. When Mu Chen came back, he brought the news that he would accept Tang Wulin as his successor.

This also completely thwarted Mu Xi's idea of ​​asking his father to accept Chen Xi as his successor.
