Chapter 023 With such a pungent smell, she's probably not a good woman.
Hongying, who had been relatively calm, was now somewhat breathless: "Speak, as long as it's not too outrageous, I've already lost two of my men."
"Shop sign?"
Jin Hai looked at the corpses on the ground and sneered, "You think your reputation was defeated by a mere underling who just entered the seventh level of the Heavenly Realm? You're hilarious! Do you think your customers would like such a spineless coward?"
Without further ado, the law enforcement cultivators will probably find out what happened here soon. Ten thousand low-grade spirit stones will settle this matter completely, and we'll leave each other alone from now on.
Hongying was embarrassed. Looking at the two corpses on the ground, she wished she could whip them alive!
What a shame!
Two eighth-level cultivators attempted to kill a seventh-level high school student, but were instead killed in return. If this got out into the underworld, it would be incredibly shameful.
"Three thousand, he's perfectly fine, but two of my people died, and I still have to pay for their burial and resettlement."
Hongying sighed. Jin Hai was asking for an exorbitant amount, and she certainly wouldn't agree, but she had no choice but to grit her teeth and accept it.
"Nine Thousand, your people are breaking the rules. If word gets out, who will want to be your young master anymore? Who will want to be your friend?"
Jin Hai had leverage over her and wasn't afraid of Hong Jie turning against him.
"Four thousand, from now on I'll have my men avoid him!" Hongying knew she was in the wrong and was also afraid that the law enforcement cultivators would arrive, so she waved her hand and put the two corpses into her storage ring.
He took out another talisman, tore it open, and threw it on the spot. The blood and vengeful spirits at the scene all vanished without a trace.
In the entire alley, only the walls still bore traces of a fight.
Shen Bai watched from the side, sighing inwardly, "This is what you call professional."
It's obvious that this isn't the first time Red Oriole has done something like this.
"Eight thousand five hundred! Our Xiaobai is preparing for the college entrance exam. If news of his injury gets out now, I'm afraid all the parents in the city will be furious with you!"
Jin Haitu revealed his true colors, suddenly pulling out his trump card, and Hongying's expression immediately changed.
When it comes to college entrance exam takers, even the smallest things can become big problems.
If it were revealed now that someone had robbed and murdered a college entrance exam candidate, even if Hong Ying had a lot of influence, she would be in serious trouble.
To quell public opinion, Hongying will have to pay a price that goes far beyond a few thousand spirit stones.
In the end, Hongying transferred eight thousand low-grade spirit stones to Jinhai.
Before leaving, Hongying walked up to Shen Bai and said, "Little brother, I like you more and more. Jin Hai is no good, so be careful. If you ever have any trouble in the future, come to your sister. There will always be a place for you here."
Shen Bai nodded in thanks, but didn't say much more.
Given the behavior of Hongying's men, he didn't think Hongying's place was much better than Jinhai's.
Shen Bai kept his distance from such people from all walks of life.
Besides, he would never sell his ass.
Seeing that Hongying had left, Jin Hai beckoned Shen Bai into his silver-white flying boat. They quickly left their original spot while discussing the matter inside the flying boat.
"You did a good job on this; you shouldn't have left any survivors!"
Big Gold Tooth laughed heartily, "Seeing that woman Red Oriole forced to pay up, I'm practically ecstatic! Brother, I've already transferred the eight thousand spirit stones to your account. Next time something like this happens, remember to call me 'brother'!"
"I definitely don't want to experience anything like this again!"
Shen Bai picked up his communication talisman, which already showed that the transfer had been completed. Without thinking, he transferred another 4000 spirit stones back to Jin Hai.
"What do you mean, bro?"
Jin Hai looked at Shen Bai with displeasure, but Shen Bai's face was full of sincerity: "Without Brother Hai, I wouldn't have earned a single penny, and to be able to negotiate such a high price is already beyond my expectations!"
Jin Hai's eyebrows immediately shot up: "Brother, you're so straightforward! You're a smart guy! You don't look like a high school student at all. Enough said, I won't take a single penny of your agency fee for your contract with An Li's family. Just wait for my good news!"
Shen Bai smiled happily as well.
Jin Hai has so generously transferred all his money to me. If I don't reciprocate in any way, then our relationship will only be based on pure self-interest from now on.
Just as he said, without Jin Hai's support, he might not have gotten a single penny, let alone 4000 spirit stones, and would have suffered endless retaliation from Hong Ying.
After Jin Hai intervened, I not only received compensation but also didn't have to worry about the aftermath. I returned half of it to the other party, thus repaying the favor, saving face for Jin Hai, and gaining benefits in the process.
You have to give up something to gain something!
Shen Bai did it willingly.
Otherwise, I'll owe someone a huge favor!
It's best not to owe favors to someone like Jin Hai!
……
When Shen Bai arrived home, it was already past midnight.
As soon as he arrived at the gate, he noticed that the spirit stone lamp inside the house was still on, and Shen Bai cursed inwardly.
Upon opening the door, sure enough, Shen Wenwen was sitting on the sofa, staring at the door.
Even though she was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open, she was still trying her best to keep her head from tilting to the side on the sofa.
Seeing the door open, she was a little dazed, then shouted, "Shen Bai, where did you go?"
Hearing the tearful cries, Shen Bai's heart trembled. He realized that the little girl must have been terrified all night.
"It's nothing, I just went to have some dinner with someone and brought you some late-night snacks."
The gluttonous girl, who usually doesn't even glance at the food in Shen Bai's hands, stares intently at him, trying hard not to cry out, but tears keep streaming down her face.
"Liar! Where did the bloodstains on you come from?"
A few drops of blood stained the sleeve of his pristine white training uniform. Shen Bai's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly explained, "I got this during my sparring session with my classmates this afternoon. Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine!"
To increase his persuasiveness, Shen Bai took off his shirt, revealing his smooth skin to Shen Wenwen.
The marks left by An Li's beating last night had long since faded with the advancement to the seventh level of the Heavenly Realm and the nourishment from so many highly nutritious spirit beast meats; otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have been able to explain myself tonight.
After carefully examining Shen Bai's body and finding no wounds, Shen Wenwen was finally relieved.
This was the first time Shen Bai had come home so late without giving prior notice, and Shen Wenwen was really worried that something might happen to him while he was training with her.
Even though no one was hurt, Shen Wenwen still pouted angrily and said, "Don't you know what time it is? Don't you care about this family anymore? Can't we live together in the future? Why do you smell of alcohol and a woman on you? Which woman did you go out and fool around with?"
"I was wrong, I promise I won't come home this late again! Sweetie, have some midnight snack and go to sleep!"
As Shen Bai stroked Shen Wenwen's pigtails, a warm current flowed through his heart.
It feels so good to be cared for and remembered!
Shen Wenwen sniffed the air, her sleepiness instantly gone: "Is it Grandpa Li's wontons at the street corner? I haven't had them in ages."
With delicious food, Shen Wenwen stopped worrying about Shen Bai's outings, but she secretly remembered the strong perfume scent.
With such a strong smell, she's probably not a good woman.
We absolutely cannot let her appear next to Shen Bai a second time!
……
The next day, early in the morning, Big Gold Tooth brought Shen Baifa good news.
