Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 377 - 150: Take the Kind Daoist Priest Fan! Yin Envoys, come forth quickly! (A 10,000-character mega - , please subscribe)_4
"It’s not one thousand taels for killing two people, it’s one thousand taels for each! For two, I, Hu Dafu, will give two thousand taels! Two thousand taels, to slay the evil and protect my safety!"
He shouted so loud that almost all the Escort Masters heard him.
Even though everything that happened made everyone aware that Hu Dafu definitely had skeletons in his closet.
But the temptation of two thousand taels was too great.
This was two thousand taels!
If one could get their hands on two thousand taels, one could easily spend five hundred on a mansion in the Nanjun Prefecture Government. With the remaining fifteen hundred, one could take five hundred to marry several daughters from good families and live a carefree and comfortable life just like the Emperor every day.
The leftover one thousand taels would be more than enough for a worry-free life for the next half of one’s life, and one could casually invest in some real estate.
And still be able to provide for one’s descendants!
Financial freedom...
Nothing beats that!
Hiss!
How could one not be tempted?
However.
"Two thousand taels?" Yun Jiuqing’s face was filled with disdain. On this trip with Daoist Priest Fan, her father and mother each gave her a stack of large-denomination silver notes and a great number of talismans.
So much so that her pockets contained little else... silver and talismans, she had plenty of those!
Yun Jiuqing pulled out four silver notes from her pouch.
And tossed them lightly behind her.
Behind her, Zhen Zhiyuan was still stunned by the "two thousand taels," but his uncle Wang, being quick of eye and hand, caught those four silver notes and looked closely at them with effort.
Suddenly!
The experienced and knowledgeable Uncle Wang.
Was dumbfounded!
"Four... four..." Uncle Wang’s hands, holding those four silver notes, were trembling, and his voice was trembling with excitement, "Four thousand... four thousand taels in silver notes?!!"
Yun Jiuqing said, "I don’t need you to do anything violent, just stand still and don’t move."
Uncle Wang hastily patted the stunned Zhen Zhiyuan by his side.
Zhen Zhiyuan swallowed hard, his voice also trembling, "Zhenhai Escort Agency... the thing we despise the most is those who exploit the weak, the ones we despise the most are the rich but heartless people! Master Hu, please... please don’t blame us."
He couldn’t help it...
She offered too much!
There was a moment... Zhen Zhiyuan even considered giving up being the head of Zhenhai Escort Agency. He thought it would be much more promising to be the dog of this Miss Yun and Daoist Priest Fan than to remain as the master of an escort agency!
The rest of the Escort Masters felt as if they had been knocked dizzy by a giant pastry, stupefied by those three words, "four thousand taels."
Although the four thousand taels might not be given to each and every one of them individually.
But the two thousand taels promised by Master Hu wouldn’t be available to each person either!
The former would allow them to split the four thousand taels.
At least, each could get over thirty taels! That was more than they could save in a whole year of escorting!
The latter, only one or two people would get it, while the rest would get nothing.
Possibly, they might even lose their lives.
They did love silver.
But that didn’t mean they were willing to risk their lives.
So...
Hu Dafu was dumbstruck as he watched one indifferent Escort Master after another. He had never imagined that he, the wealthy Master Hu, would one day be suppressed by someone with silver!
Who on earth was this woman? Could a cultivator really just casually pull out several thousand taels of silver?
Hu Dafu couldn’t understand!
He was at a loss!
"You... you all..." Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly found the view in front of him seemingly blocked, and looking up, he met Fan Wu’s expressionless face.
Hu Dafu’s body went limp, if Yun Jiuqing’s pressure was one thing, then what Fan Wu brought him was fear!
The terror-inducing pressure from Fan Wu.
Made Hu Dafu feel that even with a special talisman in his grip, he had no sense of security at all!
Hu Dafu said in horror, "You... you... don’t act recklessly, Taoist Priest! The talisman in my hand is very powerful! It can even knock these evil spirits... it can even knock these evil spirits flying!!"
"If you act rashly!"
"I... I..."
Hu Dafu could not finish his words because he saw with his own eyes as Fan Wu flicked his hand, that fan-sized hand forming a loosely clenched fist, that gesture of clenching seemed effortless.
Then he saw Fan Wu gently tapping on the golden light emitted by the talisman.
Just that tap!
Hu Dafu heard a sound similar to that of an eggshell being cracked.
He was stunned.
He was dumbfounded!
The talisman he held, which was radiating golden light, suddenly... had visible cracks in it. To Hu Dafu, this was as shocking as seeing his entire fortune vanish into thin air.
He couldn’t believe his eyes as he looked at the towering figure of Fan Wu, finding it hard to comprehend how the golden light that no amount of evil spirits could break was cracked by a simple tap from this man!
Clearly, the woman next to him was also a cultivator, also a cultivator, so why couldn’t she break the golden light after so many attempts?
And yet it broke with just a gentle tap? Jokes weren’t supposed to be like this!
Crack—
Crack—
Hu Dafu watched as the cracks in the golden light grew more numerous, and he felt like something was severely burning his palm.
