Chapter 1190 - This Meatball Must Be Eaten While Ho
1190 This Meatball Must Be Eaten While Ho
"You want to leave after smelling my chili sauce?! You smell it, you buy it! This is the way in the City of Abyss! Do you understand, new guy?"
The peddler looked at Bu Fang with a playful gaze. As a peddler in the city, his eyes were naturally keen. He saw at a glance that Bu Fang was a newcomer, a stranger to the city, and this kind of foreigner was the easiest target for bullying!
He had cheated many foreigners with the same means and earned himself many Nether crystals.
He knew his Abyssal Chili Sauce was poorly made, but these foreigners knew nothing about it. All he had to do was keep bragging about it, then forced them to buy it. Right after that, he would earn his Nether crystals.
When Bu Fang's arm was grabbed by the peddler, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the man quizzically.
Nethery, who was standing beside Bu Fang, furrowed her eyebrows as well, and she stared coldly at the peddler.
"We have to buy it after smelling it? So unreasonable?" Nethery said coldly.
"Ha, pretty girl, I can tell that you know nothing about the way of this city. I've met many foreigners like you. Since this is your first time here, you better keep your heads low. You will die miserably if you try to stir up some trouble!" The peddler grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"I forgot to tell you one thing. Although I'm just a peddler, I have a brother who works for the law enforcement team. So, if you... Hehe, you know what I mean!"
Bu Fang looked expressionlessly at the peddler, who grinned like a retarded fool.
"Let go of my arm," Bu Fang said lightly but with a serious undertone.
That frightened the peddler, and he quickly let go of his hand.
"Don't ever think of running away. You are foreigners, and you have identity jade talismans. My brother can find you easily!" warned the peddler.
Bu Fang glanced at the peddler and said nothing. Then, he picked up the clay jar again and lifted its seal.
"What do I need this for? Its brewing method is obsolete, the fermentation process is not completed, and it even has a sour taste..." said Bu Fang.
The peddler grinned, showing his yellow teeth again.
"That's not for you to be concerned about. You've smelled my chili sauce, so you have to buy it. I beg your pardon, but the price has increased now. It costs two Nether crystals now. You can't leave until you pay!" he sneered, folding his arms over his chest. For him, bullying foreigners was the most fun part.
Many peddlers began to gather around, trapping Bu Fang and Nethery in the middle.
"Do you see all my brothers and sisters? Don't ever think of leaving here if you don't pay me!"
Bu Fang just stared at the peddler. The next moment, his divine perception exploded out. A wave of powerful mental force poured out of him, spreading across the street in a flash.
Everyone present was slightly shocked, while the peddlers around him gasped.
"Nine-star True Immortal Realm?"
As soon as Bu Fang revealed his cultivation base, the peddlers around were struck dumb. No one had thought that this young man's cultivation base had reached Nine-star True Immortal Realm. Was he a genius from the Nether Prison?
The peddler felt a little regretful now. He never expected that he had picked a tough nut to crack. But soon, his face became ferocious again.
"Do you think you do whatever you want in Abyss City just because you are a Nine-star True Immortal?! If you dare touch me, the law enforcement team will take you away immediately! If I were you, I'll spend some Nether crystals and let this matter rest! As a foreigner, it's better for you to keep your head low in the city," said the peddler.
Bu Fang frowned. He suddenly thought of the strange expression and smile of the guard at the gate.
Even then, he sensed several powerful auras heading this way. The auras' cultivation bases were not weak, all of them in the realm of Nine-star True Immortal, and the leading one was even a half-step Saint.
That should be the law enforcement team the peddler mentioned.
Bu Fang's frown deepened. It was indeed not a good idea to clash with those people now.
His eyes fell on the peddler, and he twitched the corner of his mouth. "I don't have Nether crystals, but I'll replace it with something else."
The peddler was slightly dazed.
The next moment, an Explosive Meatball appeared in Bu Fang's hand, glowing brilliantly and giving off a rich aroma that could wake one's taste buds.
"This is a beef meatball I specially made, and it costs ten Nether crystals. I'll pay this jar of chili sauce with it," said Bu Fang.
Nethery was momentarily stunned, and she looked at Bu Fang as her red lips twitched.
Owner Bu was going to stir things up.
"It smells good! The aroma... is very unusual!"
The peddler narrowed his eyes. His gaze was completely attracted by the golden Explosive Meatball in Bu Fang's hand, and he was shaking all over.
"Do you accept it as a payment or not?" Bu Fang stared at the peddler and asked expressionlessly.
"Yes!" the peddler quickly answered. He could tell the meatball was an unusual one by its aroma, and together with the energy fluctuation rippling out of it, he was sure that it did indeed cost at least ten Nether crystals!
His Abyssal Chili Sauce was made with the poorest quality Abyssal Chilies, which was dirt cheap. In fact, the price of ten jars might not even be one Nether crystal, and now, someone was willing to exchange a jar with something that cost ten Nether crystals!
Sure enough, foreigners were all easy to scam!
"Well... Take it, then. By the way, this meatball must be eaten while hot," Bu Fang said and waved his hand.
The Explosive Meatball immediately shot out and fell into the peddler's hand, and he held it up with a delighted look.
A faint smile brushed Bu Fang's lips. Then, he turned around and was about to leave with Nethery.
"Hey, brother, you forgot your chili sauce!" the peddler shouted when he saw Bu Fang was about to leave.
Bu Fang waved his hand without even looking back and said, "I've no use for your piece of junk. Good luck!"
"What a fool..." the peddler cursed.
The other peddlers glanced enviously at him, and one of them exclaimed, "I can't believe Yellow Teeth has found such a rich fool this time!"
"You can tell the meatball is an unusual one just by its appearance... Perhaps it's an immortal dish cooked by those Nether Chefs!"
The peddler was grinning from ear to ear. He held the meatball with both hands and kept smelling at it with an intoxicated look on his face, his pointy ears twitching.
Suddenly, several powerful auras approached from a distance, and soon, a group of experts clad in suits of armor arrived.
These experts' auras were extremely terrible, and they were the experts who Bu Fang had sensed earlier.
One of them glanced solemnly at the peddler with yellow teeth, his expression indifferent.
"Are you scamming foreigners again?"
Under the expert's pressure, the peddler trembled. He rolled his eyes, put a big smile and a flattering look on his face, and came next to the expert.
"My lord, this humble one has found something great this time and wishes to give it to my lord," the peddler said furtively.
The law enforcer furrowed his eyebrows and looked coldly at him.
The peddler didn't make him guess. Carefully, he spread his fingers to reveal the Explosive Meatball, then handed it over to the law enforcer.
"This humble one got this from that foreigner. He said it costs ten Nether crystals. This humble one knows it is a good thing... My lord can try it while it is hot. This humble one purposely saves it for my lord." The peddler gave a flattering smile.
The Explosive Meatball did indeed look good. At least, as soon as it appeared, it attracted the law enforcer's eyes, and together with its strong aroma, he couldn't resist it at all. So, he took over the meatball.
"It does look good. It seems that you have found something great this time," said the law enforcer.
"My lord can have it! This humble one just hopes that my lord can take care of this humble one's business in the future." The peddler smiled slyly.
"That's very thoughtful of you." The law enforcer returned the smile and gave the peddler a meaningful look.
The other peddlers around them look envious.
It was very tough for these half-blooded Abyssal Demons to earn a living in Abyss City. As they were at the bottom of society, it was extremely difficult for them to seize the opportunity. It was no wonder the peddler had seized his opportunity this time. As long as he could cling to this law enforcer's leg, he would have no trouble living a decent life in this area.
The law enforcer paid no more mind to the peddler. He turned his attention to the Explosive Meatball.
Wisps of steam rose from the meatball.
He grinned, then brought it to his nose and gave it a deep sniff. Its fragrance seemed to have turned into tiny snakes and rushed into his nostrils.
"It smells really delicious!" the law enforcer praised. After that, he shoved the meatball into his mouth.
A rich fragrance exploded as soon as the meatball entered his mouth, making him tremble all over.
In the distance, Bu Fang and Nethery watched with strange expressions as the law enforcer shoved the meatball into his mouth.
The corner of Nethery's mouth twitched. She knew the Explosive Meatball's terrible power very well. That was a meatball powerful enough to kill a Nine-star True Immortal!
"Well... I've slightly reduced that meatball's power. My original intention was to teach that peddler a lesson," Bu Fang said honestly. "Anyway, that—"
BOOM!
Before Bu Fang could finish speaking, however, a terrible explosion occurred in the distance.
Bu Fang gave Nethery a helpless look and shrugged as he continued, "That wasn't part of the plan."
With a rumble, terrible blasts swept out in all directions instantly.
As those law enforcers stood together, they were all blown away by the blasts before they could even react.
The peddlers around all screamed and shouted in horror.
"What happened?"
"Why did it suddenly explode?"
"The center of the explosion seems to be exactly where the law enforcer is standing!"
A miserable cry resounded through the air.
It was from the law enforcer who had eaten the Explosive Meatball. The explosion had swollen his face and knocked away all his teeth! Even his eyes were filled with blood now!
The meatball was a f*cking weapon!
This peddler was trying to murder him!
"YOU!"
The law enforcer fixed his eyes at the peddler, who was already scared out of his wits as he stood blankly to the spot, unable to figure out what had just happened.
"Why did that meatball... explode?!"
The peddler sucked in a cold breath, then came to his senses and figured out everything. Both his body and soul shivered as he flew into a rage.
'That foreigner had scammed me with an inferior-grade meatball! He even asked me to eat it while it is hot... What a wicked foreigner!'
"My lord..."
His expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly looked toward the law enforcer.
When he saw the law enforcer's miserable appearance, his face turned deathly pale.
Even then, the other law enforcers came to their senses. When they saw the law enforcer, whose face had swollen up like a pig's head, they couldn't help but show strange expressions, and some even burst out laughing.
The miserable-looking law enforcer's nostrils flared, and his murderous aura surged.
Suddenly, a sharp sword light flashed with a clang.
"My lord... It's not my fault! It's those two foreigners there..." the peddler stammered in a hoarse voice, pointing at Bu Fang and Nethery in the distance. He felt a chill run down his back.
However, before he could finish speaking, his voice came to an abrupt stop.
The law enforcer swung his sword and cut the peddler's head. Blood spurted as the black sword flashed, sucking away the peddler's soul...
Just like that, the peddler was dead.
The other peddlers around shivered with fear. This was the might of law enforcers.
In Abyss City, the law enforcers who served the city lord were the most frightening killing weapons. No one dared to offend them...
The law enforcer with a pig's head was still very angry. He turned to the direction where the peddler had pointed, seeing Bu Fang and Nethery right away.
Without a doubt, they were the foreigners who gave the peddler the explosive meatball.
They were the culprits!
How dare these foreigners stir up trouble in Abyss City?!
They had to be punished with death!
A clanging sound rang out as he sped toward Bu Fang and swung his sword.
Nethery turned to look at Bu Fang with a cold face. "You've caused quite a stir now..."
Bu Fang wore a straight face and showed no sign of fear. "It's all right... The commotion will let Realm Lord Di Tai know that we're here. We need to get together."
BOOM!
"How dare you offend law enforcers?! You're courting death!" The law enforcer roared, swinging the black sword violently. The blade was filled with strange energy fluctuations.
Bu Fang watched calmly as the sword grew larger in his eyes. Then, with a thought, several Explosive Meatballs appeared and floated around him.
He took one and gave it a bite, which sizzled instantly.
After that, he flicked his finger. The Explosive Meatball shot out and sped toward the law enforcer.
"Enjoy your full-power Explosive Meatball..."
