Chapter 418: You Guys Sure Know How to Enjoy Yourselves
"Y-y-you, how are you still alive!"
Liu Biao’s roar echoed through the valley, like that of an enraged beast.
His stomach, struck by a rock, was gushing blood. The crimson stream was like a blossoming flower—vibrant and horrifying.
But he seemed to have forgotten the pain. His eyes were locked on Jiang Xinghai, who was approaching with the Snake Gallbladder in his hands. He was so scared he pissed himself.
’My God!’
’That’s the giant python’s Snake Gallbladder!’
’Is this Jiang Xinghai a man or a god?!’
’He actually slaughtered the giant python!’
His eyes were filled with terror, like a mouse that had just seen a cat.
Jiang Xinghai approached silently, holding the Snake Gallbladder as if it carried the weight of the world. His eyes were as deep as the sea, a glint of amusement flashing within them. "Are there any more behemoths like that? One isn’t enough of a fight."
Hearing this, Liu Biao coughed violently, spitting mouthfuls of blood. ’One isn’t enough of a fight?’
’Is this Jiang Xinghai really some kind of monster?!’
"Xinghai!"
Just then, Leng Ning peered out from the back door of the restaurant not far away.
"I’m fine. I’ll be right back," Jiang Xinghai said, meeting Leng Ning’s gaze with a smile.
He paid Liu Biao no more mind, merely glancing at him with a smile as if enjoying the final act of a tragedy.
Then, with a light leap, he tapped his toes on the grass and was back by Leng Ning’s side.
"Is that... a Snake Gallbladder?" Leng Ning asked in astonishment.
Jiang Xinghai nodded and walked to the kitchen. He took everything out of the refrigerator and placed the Snake Gallbladder inside.
"So this was the surprise Liu Biao had for you?" Leng Ning teased.
Jiang Xinghai gave a wry smile. "Well, besides the giant python, there are also a few unmined Spirit Stones."
"What? Spirit Stones!" Leng Ning, of course, understood the importance of Spirit Stones.
’Back then,’ she thought, ’we got five hundred grams of Spiritual Sand from the Huang Family, which was only equivalent to a single Spirit Stone, yet it held the energy of five Third Grade Spiritual Medicines!’
’And now there are several Spirit Stones!’
And to find them near Phoenix Mountain, of all places, was naturally a great shock to her.
Jiang Xinghai gave a genuine smile and said, "Why don’t you go buy me some clothes?"
"Right, that was my oversight."
Leng Ning said, looking at Jiang Xinghai’s filthy state, "But there might not be anything suitable around the Phoenix Mountain scenic area. Just grab something for now to make do."
Jiang Xinghai nodded, sent a message to Yan Qingshan, and then walked out of the kitchen with Leng Ning.
In the restaurant’s main hall.
The four muscular men were still kneeling on the floor. Five leather bags were placed in front of them.
"Move the bags to the car."
Leng Ning waved her hand, glancing at the four kneeling men.
The four men’s legs had gone numb from kneeling, but they didn’t dare to delay for a second. They quickly loaded the leather bags into the Land Rover.
Leng Ning explained to Jiang Xinghai what had happened earlier, then drove away.
"You guys actually thought you could rob Leng Ning?"
Jiang Xinghai sat down on a stool, casually picked up a pack of cigarettes, and lit one.
"Young Master Jiang, spare us!"
"Young Master Jiang, we’re willing to be your dogs! Please don’t kill us..."
These four had been kept suppressed in the main hall by Leng Ning, so of course, they had heard the tremors coming from the foot of the mountain behind the restaurant.
They had seen it all: the huge boulder shattering, stone fragments flying, and their boss, Liu Biao, being sent flying.
And when they saw Jiang Xinghai walk out of the cave holding the Snake Gallbladder, they finally understood just how terrifying it was to be his enemy.
"I’m going to take a quick shower."
Jiang Xinghai said, looking around with the cigarette dangling from his lips.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Young Master Jiang, we have an indoor one and an outdoor one. Which would you prefer...?"
The four men groveled, their faces plastered with fawning smiles.
"Let’s check the indoor one first," Jiang Xinghai said, wanting some privacy.
But upon seeing the indoor bathroom, he turned right around and left. "The state of this place... Forget it. Let’s go see the outdoor one."
"The outdoor one is this way."
"Young Master Jiang, this way, please."
"A natural mountain spring flows down from the cliff in the backyard, so we set up an open-air one."
Led by the four men, Jiang Xinghai entered the backyard once more.
In a corner of the backyard, right next to the cliff, an open-air bathing area had been built with bamboo screens.
"You guys really know how to live, huh."
Jiang Xinghai walked closer and looked up, seeing that the constantly flowing water came from the mountains.
"Go wait over there."
Jiang Xinghai dismissed the four men and went inside.
The bamboo screens were taller than a person, so no one could see inside.
Jiang Xinghai took off his clothes and started showering.
The water was clear, and warmed by the sun, it was neither hot nor cold.
Before long, Leng Ning returned.
"Miss Leng, Young Master Jiang is bathing in the open-air shower in the backyard."
"Lead the way."
As the four men led her, Leng Ning heard the sound of running water from the shower.
"You all go wait by the cave."
After dismissing the four men, Leng Ning walked toward the open-air shower where Jiang Xinghai was.
"I bought the clothes. Should I leave them at the entrance?"
Leng Ning stood outside the bamboo screen, her clear, bell-like voice reaching Jiang Xinghai’s ears.
"Bring them in. And help me scratch my back."
An image of him scratching Shen Lingyin’s back the previous night suddenly flashed through Jiang Xinghai’s mind.
