Chapter 29: Orochimaru
"Come on, come on, line up properly!"
Li Jie xuan smiled as he took a hundred ryo from the hands of a cute girl with a ponytail and comforted her. "Don't worry, I'll go very easy on you…"
Ever since Li Jie xuan singlehandedly dealt with more than sixty people in one go, the rest had become very well-behaved. They obediently handed over a hundred ryo, took a light punch, and then went home to eat dinner "happily."
"Here, this is one thousand ryo."
A chubby boy with a wealthy appearance smiled as he took out a thousand ryo from a toad-shaped coin purse.
"Hm?"
Li Jie xuan took the thousand ryo, raised his eyes, and smiled playfully. "Kid, you're pretty rich, huh!"
"My name is Yokoshi Yuqian. Big Brother Jie xuan is joking."
Yokoshi Yuqian gave a fearful, awkward laugh. "This is nothing. My dad is in real estate. I'm willing to pay double in the future—just hoping you can go a little easier…"
Although Yokoshi Yuqian sounded humble, his words still unconsciously revealed the pride of someone from a wealthy family.
"Mhm, that's very good. I have no objections."
Li Jie xuan smiled and patted Yokoshi Yuqian on the shoulder. "Young men with awareness like yours are becoming rarer and rarer these days!"
"As it should be, as it should be…"
Yokoshi Yuqian nodded repeatedly, his face full of an ingratiating smile.
"Don't worry, I'll go a little easier!"
Li Jie xuan smiled and nodded, then suddenly swung his fist, sending Yokoshi Yuqian spinning like a top three meters away.
Yokoshi Yuqian bounced several times like a rubber ball before letting out a wail and passing out.
"Damn it, the ones I despise the most are you real estate people! Jacking up housing prices until ordinary folks don't even have a place to live…"
Li Jie xuan sneered as he pulled his fist back. "In this world, the strong rule. Money doesn't mean a damn thing in front of me!"
Seeing this, how would the people behind him dare to cozy up anymore? They all obediently paid and took their beating…
"Hoo…"
Li Jie xuan let out a long breath. After knocking around more than a hundred people in a row, even he felt his shoulders starting to ache. But at that moment, a pair of gentle little hands suddenly pressed down on his shoulders.
"Tsunade?"
He turned his head, only to find Tsunade gently leaning in behind him.
With a soft whoosh, Tsunade's face flushed red, but she still didn't let go. She gently massaged Li Jie xuan's shoulders and murmured, "I saw that Jie xuan-kun looked very tired. I wanted to help you relax a bit…"
Hearing this, Li Jie xuan didn't think much of it. He just turned his head and smiled brightly. "Thanks!"
Jie xuan-kun… so gentle…
Tsunade smiled happily.
If those people who had just been beaten heard this, they would definitely curse out loud without hesitation!
Gentle? This guy was a complete demon, okay?
Li Jie xuan comfortably enjoyed Tsunade's service while calculating how much he had earned this time.
"Mhm…"
Triggered quest: Starting Today, Become the Demon King
Quest reward: For every ten opponents defeated, receive one beginner treasure chest. Forty treasure chests (9/10).
On top of that, more than thirty thousand ryo in income was nothing to scoff at either. This was truly a huge haul!
"Come on, Tsunade, let's go home!"
Li Jie xuan smiled and turned to leave. In his eyes, this bold and open robbery had already come to a perfect conclusion.
However, at that very moment, a thin figure suddenly stepped out from a corner…
"Jie xuan-kun, you really didn't disappoint me!"
Long black hair, a pale face, and those crimson-yellow snake-like pupils…
"Orochimaru?!"
Li Jie xuan couldn't help frowning and said bluntly, "You can leave right now. I have no intention of being your enemy!"
Facing an opponent at Orochimaru's level, whether he won or lost, any fight would be a losing deal. Using one stamina potion meant he would have to defeat a full ten Orochimarus just to break even. That was simply too inefficient.
However…
The reason Uncle Snake was Uncle Snake was precisely because he was different from everyone else! What Uncle Snake wanted was not something that could be easily refused!
"No, no, no, Li Jie xuan. You can't escape this battle."
Orochimaru narrowed his snake pupils, standing before Li Jie xuan with excitement. "I know you possess a secret technique that allows you to recover instantly. Don't waste time—let's begin right away!"
