Gu Master Era: My Toad Swallowed the School Beauty at the Beginning

The second person from the Beaconfire Team to step onto the arena was their captain, Tao Jun.

Tao Jun's combat strength was not weak; in fact, it could be said to be very strong. This person actually had two Jade Spirit Gu, and was the direct descendant of the Tao family, one of the Ten Great Clans of Sky City!

But unfortunately, he didn't have the Water Bearer Gu and couldn't adapt to the environment filled with the Stink Bug Gu's poisonous gas. He was defeated by Wang Xiao's kiting tactics!

In the third match, the person from the Beaconfire Team came onto the stage with a 'ready to die for the cause' attitude, and in the end, they were carried off the stage amidst the farewell of the Stink Bug Gu.

Three consecutive victories!

The Cloudsoar Team successfully entered the semi-finals!

After this battle, Wang Xiao's name spread throughout Sky City!

As for Wang Xiao, he happily stepped down from the arena and took Yan Ruoyun back to the hotel to get rid of the stench.

Lying in the bathtub, he was still wondering how much money he could earn from this arena match.

Early the next morning, just as Wang Xiao finished washing up, Zhong Li "squeezed" in through the door.

Wang Xiao said with a venomous tongue, "Fatty Zhong, you need to lose weight. With your weight, can your little fiancée handle it?"

Zhong Li plopped down on the chair. Fortunately, the hotel chair was of good quality. Although it creaked under the pressure, it managed to hold.

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm here to tell you good news. We've made a big profit again!"

Wang Xiao's eyes lit up: "How many spirit stones did you swindle from them this time?"

Zhong Li said proudly, "Spirit stones? I didn't take a single one!"

Wang Xiao curled his lips: "I don't believe it. With your money-loving nature, how could you let go of this opportunity to make money?"

Zhong Li said disdainfully, "Taking spirit stones is too low-level! If you ask for too little, you'll feel unwilling. If you ask for too much, people will get angry. So, this time, I really didn't take a single spirit stone!"

"Oh, tell me about it!"

"Hehe, yesterday, as soon as your match ended, Feng Yulin found the person I arranged! I had instructed them in advance to refuse this business!"

"And then?"

"Then Feng Yulin got anxious. He's the number one handsome guy in Sky City, and his image is more important than his life. How could he endure the stinky smell? How could he endure not being able to pick up girls? So, he took the initiative to offer more money!"

"And then?"

"Then we still refused, telling Feng Yulin: 'Handsome Feng, it's really not about the money. We felt bad about taking your money last time... It's just that the stench of the Stink Bug Gu is too difficult to remove. Our unique deodorant secret recipe requires very rare materials. Now we're out of materials to make the deodorant, so we want to help you get rid of the smell, but we don't have the medicine! We're really sorry, we can't help you!'"

Wang Xiao was impressed!

This Zhong Li didn't want spirit stones; he wanted people's rare materials!

Sure enough, Zhong Li continued, "Then Feng Yulin said nonchalantly: 'No, you must help me get rid of the stench, or how am I supposed to live? Whatever materials you need, just say it, and I'll find them!'"

Wang Xiao gave a thumbs up: "High, really high! Fatty Zhong, you played this 'catch and release' tactic masterfully!"

Zhong Li said triumphantly, "Our Cloudsoaring Pavilion is still new, after all, and our foundation is weak. We urgently need a batch of rare materials to fill the shop. So, I reluctantly reported a batch of materials, and the Feng family quickly sent someone to deliver them! Tsk tsk, as expected of a great clan; their foundation is indeed deep!"

Wang Xiao poured Zhong Li a cup of tea: "How much can we earn from this deal?"

Zhong Li took a sip of tea and continued, "The batch of materials I received from Feng Yulin, if we put them in Cloudsoaring Pavilion and sell them, we'll easily get 300,000 spirit stones! Later, the three people from the Beaconfire Team came, and I also received materials from them, adding up to no less than 300,000..."

Wang Xiao secretly clicked his tongue. This Zhong Li was truly a business genius!

If he had taken spirit stones, taking so much money from people, even if they held their noses and accepted it, they would feel very unhappy and might even bear a grudge against you!

But taking materials was not so direct, and it could also boost the business of his own Cloudsoaring Pavilion, which could be called a win-win situation!

While Wang Xiao and Zhong Li were talking, Yan Ruoyun and Zhong Wuyan came hand in hand.

Zhong Wuyan was still angry with Wang Xiao because he hadn't let her go on stage in yesterday's match. She snorted, "You two, colluding with each other, what kind of shady things are you plotting again?"

Zhong Li said unhappily, "Old sister! I'm your own brother. Is that how you talk about your own brother? How could someone as honest and upright as me be plotting shady things!"

Zhong Wuyan sneered: "You? Hmph! A profiteer!"

Wang Xiao slammed the table and said righteously, "Zhong Li, I, Wang Xiao, known as the loyal and righteous little prince, disdain to collude with you, a profiteer. I absolutely do not agree with what you just said! Sister Yan'er, I'm reporting you. This Zhong Li was discussing with me how to marry you off. It's too much. Is my beautiful and unparalleled Sister Yan'er someone who has trouble finding a husband!"

Zhong Wuyan's face turned red, and she said through gritted teeth, "Zhong Li! Confess honestly, did you sell me again!"

Zhong Li quickly waved his hand: "No, no! Old sister, don't listen to Wang Xiao's nonsense. How could I possibly sell you!"

Wang Xiao added fuel to the fire from the side: "Oh, you just said you received 300,000 spirit stones as a betrothal gift from someone..."

A cold aura began to emanate from Zhong Wuyan's body: "Zhong Li! You go to hell!"

Zhong Li gave Wang Xiao a resentful look and said fiercely, "Wang Xiao, I'll settle the score with you later!"

Then his body suddenly fell backward, and a huge locust spirit Gu suddenly appeared to catch him. Then the locust jumped with its legs, carrying him out of the window and escaping the hotel.

"Don't run!"

Zhong Wuyan shouted and chased after him.

Yan Ruoyun rolled her eyes at Wang Xiao: "Look at the good thing you've done. Now Zhong Li is going to get another beating!"

Wang Xiao smiled hehe: "It's okay. I'm doing this for his own good. Getting beaten more will help him lose weight. Look at how fat he's become!"

The reason why Wang Xiao was able to provoke her successfully was because Zhong Li had a previous record!

This Zhong Li has been interested in making money since he was a child.

When he was seven or eight years old, he often secretly took things from home to sell outside, for which he was often beaten!

Moreover, he did something very outrageous at that time.

At that time, there was a wealthy young master from another place who came to Golden Bell City to play. He met Zhong Wuyan, who was only ten years old at the time, but she was tall and slender, and had already grown into a little beauty.

The wealthy young master was immediately stunned by her beauty at first sight, and always lingered near the Zhong family's mansion.

Zhong Li was full of business acumen at that time, like a madman, wanting to sell everything. By chance, he did a few small businesses with the wealthy young master, and after discovering that he was obsessed with his sister, he actually discussed with that person to sell his sister to him.

The result is imaginable!

The wealthy young master was expelled from Golden Bell City!

And the end of this Zhong Li!

Good fellow!

It was:

Grandpa beat, Grandma beat!

Grandma beat, Dad beat!

Dad beat, Mom beat!

Mom beat, Sister beat!

In the end, the whole family came together and had a mixed beat!

In short, Zhong Li was beaten half to death and didn't get out of bed for several months.

Not many people know about this, Wang Xiao only found out about this history of blood and tears from him after getting Zhong Li drunk once.

Zhong Wuyan wouldn't have been so easily provoked by such a simple trick, but she had already been sold by her brother once, and she had a shadow in her heart, so she was immediately caught in Wang Xiao's trick!
