When the Great Dao Dies, I Remain; When Spiritual Energy Withers, I Endure

Chapter 718 I Will Pay Her Debt

The night was lonely and the breeze was cool. Ximi Country was still in the green area, not too far from the polar region. The climate should have been cold, but there was a rolling mountain range more than a hundred miles away, which blocked most of the cold currents.

The vegetation here was lush, and human residences and utensils were inseparable from natural vegetation, which was actually integrated with nature. The shopkeeper knew Li Changxiao's identity, and his eyes were filled with tears, and he walked back to the counter in two or three steps.

The counter was also amazing. It was a big tree stump, hollowed out in the middle, and could be used for standing, sitting, and walking. The shopkeeper fiddled with the counter, took out three large green leaves, strode over, and respectfully handed them to Li Changxiao, smiling and accommodating. During this time, he glanced at the door and saw that the store door was closed, and then he was slightly relieved.

Li Changxiao took the three large green leaves and looked closely. He saw that the green leaves actually served as paper, and the veins on them were twisted to form words. Suddenly, he was surprised. Li Changxiao had practiced for so long and had a lot of experience. However, when he arrived at a place by chance, he would be surprised by the local customs and strange things.

He was happy in his heart, full of unknowns. Exploration was interesting. Besides, even if it was a debt, it was a debt of an old friend. Although he thought so, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he looked at the content carefully.

"Selling body contract?" Li Changxiao's mouth twitched and he drank a few big mouthfuls of wine. The smell of wine filled his mouth, with a slight stimulation.

Wang Qilang swore: "I have never lied at all." Li Changxiao said: "I didn't say you lied." He looked at it again and gradually understood the reason.

It turned out that when Mei Sanniang arrived at the "Bao Lai Ju Inn" and tricked the shopkeeper into changing his name, she was very pleased and wanted to stay for a few more days. Seeing that the business of the inn was getting better and better, she attributed all the credit to herself.

Then he thought, if it weren't for my help, your inn would have closed in three years. So Dajue felt that the inn was his own, and he ordered dishes without mercy, ordering all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. He stayed for more than ten days.

When he was about to leave, Wang Qilang brought the bill, but Mei Sanniang was dumbfounded. She had no money to pay, so she scolded the shopkeeper for being heartless and killing the donkey after it had done its job. But the expenses were really not small, and Wang Qilang couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to. In this way, Mei Sanniang could only owe the debt and find a way to pay it back.

The content on it was written clearly on a few green leaves. There was a sacred tree in Ximi country, named "Sky Price Tree", with luxuriant branches and leaves, and the veins of the leaves could form words. Once grown, they could not be changed. Therefore, the people of Ximi often used leaves as evidence.

Li Changxiao saw that he could not deny it, and he was both amused and angry. The funny thing was that Mei Sanniang was really unwilling to settle down, and she had to make trouble wherever she went. What made me angry was that a powerful combined warrior actually left a contract of sale in an unknown remote inn.

If Wang Qilang had been able to walk around with this contract of sale before his spiritual energy was exhausted, no one would dare to provoke him. However, things change, and it can only be kept at the bottom of the box. I don’t know when someone will come from afar to settle the account for her.

Wang Qilang didn’t dare to dream, and thought it was a bad account, but he never thought that there would be a day to settle it. So he looked straight at Li Changxiao and waited for his next words.

Li Changxiao also wanted to settle it, but he was really powerless. He searched all over his body, and found a lot of copper coins, but there was still a huge gap from the account. He explained the reason to Wang Qilang, that Mei Sanniang was Mei Sanniang, and Li Changxiao was Li Changxiao. The two of them just knew each other, and they were casual friends. Why should I, Li Changxiao, pay back the money he owed?

As he said this, he pretended to be free and unrestrained, lay down, and drank leisurely. Unexpectedly, the leaves flew up without wind, one covering Li Changxiao's face, and the other two, one covering his abdomen and one covering his chest.

Li Changxiao rolled over, and heard another "crack". The legs of the chair he was sitting on broke and fell to the ground. It was as if someone had pounced on him, knocked him to the ground, and then sat on him and beat him wildly.

Li Changxiao was also angry, fighting wits and courage with the three leaves, swinging his fists and hitting them. The leaves fluttered left and right, dodged cleverly, and hung in the air, never falling to the ground.

After a long fight, there was no winner. Li Changxiao suddenly felt tired and lay on the ground. He unscrewed the wine gourd, drank a sip of wine by himself, and muttered: "Stinky woman, your spiritual energy is like free." After saying this, the three leaves also lost their spiritual charm, gently fell, and landed on Li Changxiao's chest.

Wang Qilang was surprised. He had never seen anyone fighting with leaves so hard and evenly. Although the leaves did not fall to the ground, he felt a little strange, but he thought that the swordsman swung his fist and the air flow raised the falling leaves and brought them up into the air, so they never fell to the ground.

Li Changxiao panted heavily, never thought that he could fight with Mei Sanniang at this moment. Wang Qilang picked up the three leaves carefully, thinking that Li Changxiao was sick and didn't dare to let him pay his debt.

However, after the shopkeeper collected the leaves and hid them, he heard a voice.

The white-clothed swordsman was still lying on the ground, with his long hair scattered on the ground, and he didn't seem to mind the dirt on the ground. He looked at him with complicated eyes and suddenly called out: "Shopkeeper."

Wang Qilang looked over and said: "Hmm?".

Li Changxiao said softly: "Her debt..."

"I'll pay it back."

...

Because the debt was too large and it would not be paid off in a short time, Li Changxiao was not in a hurry at all. After talking with the shopkeeper Wang Qilang in the lobby, he went upstairs to wash up and fell asleep.

The next morning, as if nothing had happened, he greeted Wang Qilang as usual and ordered breakfast. Li Changxiao sat in the lobby and looked around. He saw that the people in Ximi country had very similar meals in the morning, all of which were a red and green fruit, a clear soup, and a yellow dipping sauce.

They dipped the fruit in the sauce and drank it with the soup. Li Changxiao followed suit. The fruit tasted sweet, and after being dipped in the sauce, it was slightly salty, but the taste was richer, and it was not unpalatable.

The only drawback was that it was not juicy enough. After chewing a few times, you had to drink the soup. Otherwise, it would be difficult to swallow. This Ximi country is located in swamps, dense forests, and mountains. Its customs and culture are naturally very different from other places.

After Li Changxiao had a full stomach, he lay on a chair to rest for a while, then he cheered up and had a good tour.
