Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Jiang Bai's voice was tinged with gritted teeth.

"Believe it or not, if you keep blowing that, I'll throw you off!"

Hu Tao grabbed his ears, "Nah neah neah, I don't believe you!"

Jiang Bai: "..."

You won.

Jiang Bai resigned himself to his fate and continued carrying her forward, trying his best to ignore her misbehavior.

Hu Tao rubbed his ears, rubbed his face, and finally wrapped her arms around his neck, rested her head on his shoulder, and stared at his ears.

"Your ears turn red so easily. They turn red as soon as I blow on them."

As he spoke, he blew another puff of air in a mischievous manner.

Jiang Bai: (#`n')

It was all your doing, and you still have the nerve to say that!

Jiang Bai gritted his teeth, "Sect Master, you just wait..."

"What? You want revenge on me!"

Hu Tao looked at the bright red earlobe so close to her and took a bite.

"hiss--"

"Hmph, you want revenge on me? No way."

"Master, are you a canine?"

"You're the one who belongs to the canine family, don't slander me."

Hu Tao rubbed his ear. "I only bit him lightly. Look, there's not a mark at all."

Is this a matter of lightness or heaviness?

Jiang Bai gritted his teeth.

He simply stopped walking and reached out to put the walnut down.

"What are you going to do? What do you want to do!"

Walnut wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs tightly around his waist, refusing to come down.

"Get down here right now! If I don't bite back today, I'm not Jiang Bai!"

"It's just that I bit you! How can you be so childish!"

"So what if I'm childish!"

"They've rebelled! They've rebelled!"

Half an hour later, Hu Tao covered her slightly swollen lips, feeling quite annoyed.

It's truly a case of injuring the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred of your own.

However, seeing the guy who had already jumped into the lake to bathe, she felt inexplicably happy.

Jiang Bai poked his head out of the icy lake water.

The real culprit is clearly on the shore.

Why is it always him who needs to stay calm?

hateful!

He floated on the lake, too tired to move.

"Why did you suddenly jump into the lake? Come back up quickly, or you'll catch a cold!"

Look at that, the real culprit is not only lacking in self-awareness, but also stirring up trouble from the shore, making sarcastic remarks.

Jiang Bai was still angry and hadn't calmed down; he didn't want to go ashore.

Jiang Bai submerged his head in the water, preparing to find something else to distract himself.

The water in the Water-Sky Jungle is quite deep, with huge tree roots intertwined underwater. The fish mostly ignore this outsider, neither approaching nor venturing away.

Jiang Bai dived into the water and discovered a box buried in the silt.

Po struggled to drag the box out of the mud, and opened it with the mindset of opening a treasure chest, only to find some antique goods whose value he couldn't determine.

He closed the box and swam to the shore, emerging from the lake soaking wet.

Hu Tao's attention was immediately drawn to the box in his hand.

"what is this?"

"Found at the bottom of the lake."

Jiang Bai opened the box and showed her what was inside.

"They look like some antiques, but I didn't find any documents or anything."

Walnut took out a bottle from inside and had Gudu clean it, revealing the exquisitely carved patterns on the bottle.

Walnut doesn't know much about antiques from Sumeru, but judging from the style, it must be quite expensive.

"Who cares if they're antiques or not? Once we get to town, we can sell them and make a windfall."

Walnut put her hands on her hips. "Hmph, thank me. If it weren't for me, how would you have discovered this box of treasures?"

Jiang Bai's gaze suddenly turned resentful, causing Hu Tao to cross her arms and subconsciously take two steps back.

"Master, some grudges are not left unpunished, but the time has not yet come."

Walnut looked up at the sky.

She doesn't understand.

"Go change your clothes quickly, don't catch a cold."

Not far away, several mercenaries from the Gilded Brigade sat in the trees, watching the commotion from afar.

"Boss, take a look at that box, is that the treasure we lost last year?"

The man addressed as "boss" carefully examined the shape and pattern of the box through binoculars.

"That box really does look a bit like it."

If I remember correctly, these are several boxes of goods they stole from an antique dealer last year.

However, things got a bit chaotic later, and this box of goods was lost.

It turned out to be in the lake?

"Third brother, you pretend to be a merchant who lost the goods and go to negotiate with them to see if you can get those goods back."

"Boss, why don't we just rob it?"

"Didn't you see the Eye of God on that woman? If we can solve it with civilized means, we should of course use civilized means. Force is a last resort."

"The boss truly lives up to his reputation. Although I didn't quite understand what he was saying, I inexplicably found him very impressive!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work."

Calvin...

Ugh, I can't write anything, my head hurts.

Chapter 770 The Strange Mercenary Group

Just as Jiang Bai finished changing his clothes and was cleaning the pile of antiques, a man dressed as a businessman rushed over.

His skin was somewhat dark, as if it had been exposed to the elements while traveling all over the country.

He was wearing a robe very common in Sumeru, and his hair, covered with a headscarf, was rough and messy.

He was a little out of breath from running, and as soon as he arrived, he asked the two of them:

Have you seen a box?

"box?"

Jiang Bai raised an eyebrow and glanced at the box placed to the side.

He had just retrieved the box when someone came over, making it hard not to suspect that this person had ulterior motives.

"I didn't see it."

He continued cleaning the antiques, blatantly lying.

Walnut lay on a deck chair next to him, holding a glass of juice in her hand, with a large parasol above her.

Although the sun is mostly blocked by the canopy of trees in this forest, it is still very necessary to shield oneself from the rain that may come at any time.

Hearing the conversation, she raised her head slightly, sat up a little straighter, and rested her chin on her hand to watch the commotion.

Is someone trying to snatch food from the tiger's mouth?

interesting.

Seeing that Jiang Bai wasn't falling for his trick, the man felt a little awkward. But he then naturally turned his attention to the box next to him.

He feigned surprise, "This is the box I've been looking for!"

"Great! We've finally found it!"

"Your suitcase? Here, take it."

Jiang Bai reached out and emptied the antiques from the box, handing him the wooden box that was still covered in mud.

The businessman's expression became increasingly unreadable.

This is completely different from what the boss expected.

"The things inside are mine too."

Jiang Bai put his hands on his hips, looking very unhappy.

"This is clearly mine, but you come here and claim it as yours. If you call it, do you think it will respond?"

The mercenary, disguised as a merchant, couldn't hold back any longer and instantly reverted to his true nature.

"These were originally lost by my caravan. Kid, are you trying to cause trouble?"

"You say you lost it, so you lost it? I could say Jingshan Palace is mine."

Jiang Bai rolled up his sleeves, shook the water off his hands, and approached the mercenary step by step with a blank expression.

"If you want to rob someone, just say so. There's no need to beat around the bush."

The mercenary gritted his teeth, intimidated by Jiang Bai's imposing aura, and took a step back.

He was probably frightened and became somewhat angry.

He put his fingers in his mouth, whistled loudly, then pulled out two curved knives from behind his back and attacked directly.

"So what if I rob you today?"

"This is a tough problem, let's all work together!"

A loud shout came from the tree behind them, and seven or eight mercenaries rushed out of the forest at once.

Jiang Bai curled his lips downwards, and Bai Yuan on his arm quickly transformed into a gun in his hand.

boom! boom! boom!

Lightning element bullets fired from the gun barrel, and the mercenaries who had just rushed out fell one after another, falling incredibly fast.

The tingling sensation of the electric current spread throughout their bodies, and the feeling of being electrocuted made them tremble and cry out in pain.

The mercenary who made the first move watched all this in shock, holding his scimitar.

A thick layer of rock element formed a rock armor around his body, and apart from his head, all his limbs were sealed inside the rock and unable to move.

He had considered the possibility of losing, but he never expected to be defeated so quickly.

They hadn't even used their trump card yet, and they were already defeated in a single encounter—that's just too outrageous!

Jiang Bai hadn't encountered such an overconfident person in a while.
