Chapter 27 Corruption
Hearing the outrageous remarks made by the lop-eared rabbit, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but widen her eyes. She turned her head and whispered in Big Cat's ear: "Is this the legendary store bullying customers?"

Big Cat didn't understand, so he thought about it carefully and then nodded and said, "If Yuan says yes, then it is."

Of course the snake demon wouldn’t take the lop-eared rabbit’s words to heart. Didn’t she know whether she had tried her best or not?
The pig demon was even more direct. He crushed the walnut he had been playing with in his hoof, and then cursed: "Work hard, your uncle..."

The lop-eared rabbit spread his paws, not afraid at all. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Anyway, the entrance fee is open and transparent. If you can't accept it, just don't enter."

As he spoke, he glanced at the furious pig demon and was a little bit hesitant. But when he remembered the rules of Moon Bay, he calmed down a lot and couldn't help but remind him: "We have rules in Moon Bay. Fighting is prohibited within 100 meters."

"You are bullying Yaota..."

A demon with two tentacles on its head, two claws and four legs, wearing an apricot-colored cross-collared skirt, a brown shawl, and carrying a brown shell on its back, stood behind the pig demon and was about to speak angrily.

But as soon as she said one word, the elephant monster no longer wanted to watch this farce.

"All right!"

As he said these two words, he stamped his right foot, and a loud noise followed. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he continued, "What the rabbit said is right. The entrance fee is clearly marked. If you want to enter, you can enter. If you don't want to enter, you can't force it."

The snake demon pursed his lips in disdain and said, "It's easy for you to say that. Your elephant clan's young master has a big family and a great fortune. Ten shells are just a drop in the bucket for you, but we..."

The elephant demon ignored her and continued, "It is fate that brings us together here. I will pay for your ten shells."

Upon hearing this, the snake demon immediately stopped talking and changed the subject, "But we are too poor to give so much. Young Master is willing to lend a hand, which is really a kind demon. I wish Young Master's cultivation will soar in the future, and he will definitely lead the elephant tribe to become bigger and stronger!"

When the other monsters heard the elephant monster's words, they were stunned at first, then a little unbelievable. After hearing the snake monster's words, they also hurriedly saluted him.

"Young Master Xiang is truly a great good demon!"

"Yes, yes. Thanks to Master Xiang, otherwise all the shells I have wouldn't be enough to pay the grain entry fee."

"..."

Almost every demon said a compliment, regardless of whether they could take out shells or not, and regardless of whether they were sincere or not. But at this moment, they had to coax this sucker with sweet words.

There were not many monsters present, and it was soon Jiang Yuan's turn. Seeing so many monsters staring at him, Jiang Yuan felt a little nervous, but he still followed suit and bowed, shouting loudly: "Ah! Young Master Xiang is so mighty, it's my honor to be in the monster world with you!"

Seeing this, the big cat naturally did not fall down. It squatted on the ground, placed its paws in front of it, and barely made a paw arching motion, but said in a somewhat dry tone: "Master Xiang, how come you are so handsome? You simply meet all my aesthetic standards!"

Seeing his two companions perform exceptionally well, Rabbit Man also felt the pressure. He thought for a long time, and under everyone's expectant gaze, he stammered, "Um, Young Master Xiang..."

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but move in front of him in small steps and whispered, "Don't think too much, just praise it and it will be fine."

Hearing this, Rabbit Hero suddenly had an idea and said loudly: "Young Master Xiang is a kind demon. He is handsome, beautiful and kind. I, little demon, really love you to death!"

After saying that, he threw a coquettish glance at the elephant monster...Young Master Elephant: That’s not necessary!

Both his vanity and emotions were greatly satisfied, and the elephant demon immediately felt that the money was well spent!
The elephant demon grinned, walked cheerfully to the lop-eared rabbit demon, handed him a cloth bag, and said, "Okay, keep it. Remember to count it carefully. If anything is missing, I will not be responsible."

The lop-eared rabbit demon bent over, smiled flatteringly, took the bag, scanned it with his demon sense, and counted the shells inside. There were a full two hundred. He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, raised his paw towards the elephant demon, and said, "How dare I not trust you, young master!"

After saying that, he leaned to the side, made a "please" gesture, and said: "Young Master, please go first!"

"Yeah." The elephant demon nodded, put his hooves behind his back, and walked in with a swagger.

The lop-eared rabbit demon glanced at them outside the barrier and said, "You are lucky this time. You have run into a demon like the young master... He looks handsome from a distance and even more handsome up close. He is so handsome that the demon gods are angry..."

As the lop-eared rabbit monster spoke, he saw the elephant monster secretly prick up his ears to listen to their conversation after entering the barrier. He cried out "danger" in his heart, but fortunately he changed his words in time.

After the elephant demon walked away, he didn't dare to say anything else, so he just waved his paw and told them to go in quickly...

Seeing his action, the other monsters didn't dare to say much and lined up obediently at the nearest location. Because there were not many monsters, a minute later, they all entered Moon Bay.

After making sure they were far away, the lop-eared rabbit demon opened the cloth bag given by the elephant demon. It was filled with golden shell coins. He took out one of them, bit it with his big front teeth, and found that it was not broken. A smile reached the bottom of his eyes.

He took out sixty cowrie shells and handed them to the sturdy guard behind him, saying, "We agreed before that I will take seven and you will take three."

The sturdy rabbit demon didn't say much and put the sixty shells into his pocket.

His ears twitched slightly, and he heard the lop-eared rabbit demon muttering, "Tu Tu, do you think that ten cowrie shells is still too little? Look at that young master Xiang, he casually took out two hundred cowrie shells... How about we set the price at fifteen cowrie shells next time?"

"Let's not do it!" The sturdy rabbit demon, also known as Tutu, quickly objected: "The entrance fee to Moon Bay has always been three shells. We used to charge six, now we charge ten, and in the future we will charge fifteen. This is a huge change. A demon with sharp eyes will be able to see the clues at a glance. If the demon reports it to the palace master, we will all die."

The lop-eared rabbit demon looked disdainful and said, "The Palace Master has many things to do, so how can he have the time to care about the affairs of low-level demons like us? Isn't it always us who have the final say on the entrance fee?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a rabbit demon dressed in a purple dress and wearing two lavender jade bracelets on its wrists suddenly appeared in front of them.

The two guarding rabbit monsters quickly knelt on the ground. They looked at each other and saw uneasiness in each other's eyes.

Purple clothes, light purple jade bracelet...

Of course they had seen this monster before. She was right behind the Moon Palace Master. It was said that she was the Master's personal attendant and had a high status.

The Palace Master once said that seeing him in Moon Bay was like seeing her; and all the monsters in Moon Bay called him "Lord Rabbit Purple"!
I wonder why she suddenly came here?
Tu Zi looked cold and said in a neutral tone, "Tu Tu, Tu Mian, the Palace Master orders you two demons to go to the Moon Palace immediately and explain how you took advantage of your positions to embezzle the entrance fee!"
