Chapter 34 The Third Method
Although Fei Lian heard the defensiveness in Jiang Yuan's words, she was not angry. Instead, she felt a little relieved.
She originally thought that Jiang Yuan was not on guard against anyone, but now it seems that she is not so gullible.
Looking at the photo stone in her hand, she thought for a moment and said, "I just happen to be short of shells. Just give me ten."
"Only ten..."
Jiujiu listened carefully and was about to scream out in surprise, but Fei Lian glared at her, so she quickly covered her mouth and kept to herself.
The Photo Stone is a stone that has the function of taking pictures. It is naturally grown and very rare. There are only fifty of them in the entire demon world. Even if you are lucky enough to get one, you would want to treat it as a treasure of the clan. Unlike Fei Lian, he was sold for ten shells!
She really didn't believe that a cockroach tribe elder would be short of these ten shells.
Jiang Yuan had no idea what Jiujiu was thinking. When she heard that it was something that could be solved with money, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But the next second, as if she suddenly remembered something, she said very embarrassedly, "Sister Fei Lian, I'm really sorry, my things are all with my cat. Can you give them to me after I get out?"
Fei Lian nodded nonchalantly and casually threw the photo stone to Jiang Yuan.
Seeing her ostentatious appearance, Jiujiu finally couldn't help but complain: "Can't you throw it gently? What if it breaks!"
Jiang Yuan hurriedly caught the photo stone and was also startled. After hearing what Jiujiu said, he looked at the photo stone in his hand and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: It was a close call, I managed to catch it!
"Why panic? This stone is quite resistant to shattering. It won't be a problem to use it for another few thousand years." At least she threw it around whenever she had the chance, and it didn't seem to be unusable.
Jiujiu looked at the photo stone with eyes full of heartache, and then looked at Fei Lian with silent condemnation: You living father, just go ahead and fall, who can fall harder than you!
She wanted to say something else but was interrupted by a voice.
"Everyone, please be patient and listen to me. Miss Mao Kui has something to say to you all."
The one who spoke was the demon in charge of this Meow Meow Building, a blue and white cat demon.
He was wearing a black inner lining with his collar showing, and a blue gown on the outside, which made him look more noble. There was a black belt around his waist, which slightly showed his figure. He held a folding fan with a landscape painting in ink in his hand. The corners of his mouth were raised and he smiled lightly, looking gentle and elegant. He was standing behind the railing on the seventh floor of the building, followed by two white cat maids.
As soon as he finished speaking, a claw on the stage gently lifted the red gauze. All the monsters held their breath and waited, but the red gauze was only lifted a corner and then gently put down.
All the demons were disappointed, but they heard her soft laughter behind the red veil, and her voice was melodious and pleasant: "Dear guests, I am here to show my respect. This time, I was asked by the palace master to come to Moon Bay to dance. I would like to thank you all for your support."
When she said this, she did not make any movement, and everyone could only see a hazy figure behind the red veil.
She paused for two breaths before continuing, "For this dance performance, Meow Meow Building has also added a small activity for you all."
After saying that, she waved her right claw, and countless yellow spots of light slowly floated up from under the platform, finally staying in mid-air.
"Everyone here can freely choose to draw a wooden sign. No matter who it is, as long as the wooden sign shows the word "yes", Miaomiaolou will satisfy his request that does not violate morality or law and is within his ability." As she spoke, she tapped the table with her fingertips, and the demonic power spread around. The yellow light spot above faded and turned into a featureless wooden sign.
As soon as she finished speaking, the originally quiet attic suddenly became lively, and the monsters all rushed to use their monster powers to pull the wooden sign they had chosen. After getting a wooden sign, one of the brown-black weasel monsters carefully put it in his arms, then looked around and saw that no monster was paying attention to him, so he used his monster power again to get the second wooden sign.
Just as his demonic power was about to touch the wooden sign he was eyeing, a ball of blue light fell from the seventh floor. It not only dissolved his demonic power, but also changed direction and attacked the weasel demon.
This sudden change caught him off guard and he was hit directly.
"A monster can only take one wooden sign. This is the rule. If any monster fails to follow the rule, its claws will be killed!" The voice was still as gentle as ever, but there was a hint of coldness in the tone.
A mantis demon that was close could not help but shiver, and when it reacted, it felt embarrassed.
He couldn't help but feel a little angry, but he didn't dare to scold the cat, so he could only curse the demon who greedily wanted a second wooden sign in a low voice. He only heard him say: "Fuck, which bastard broke the rules? Don't you see where we are!"
But just as he finished speaking, his feet were stepped on several times by an old demon with a shell on its back and a cane on its back. Seeing him holding his feet and howling, the old demon calmly walked away, leaving behind a message: "Young demon, I see that your forehead is black today. Please be careful with what you say in the future. Be careful of what you say."
When he reached the next floor, a little demon who looked similar to him and also carried a shell on his back came up to him. Seeing the anger on the old demon's face, he asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
The old demon shook his head and looked at his grandson. He felt much better and didn't want to talk about it and cause trouble. He just said, "Nothing happened."
After saying that, he seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "By the way, is there any writing on the wooden sign you got?"
The little demon looked disappointed. He spread out his paw and saw nothing on the wooden sign. He couldn't help but said with some guilt, "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I didn't get the one with words on it."
The old demon stroked his beard with his paw, sighed, and looked outside the guardrail. He saw some demons were still drawing wooden cards, while some demons had already gotten the results they wanted. In an instant, sighs filled the entire building. He couldn't help but sigh, "As the saying goes, what is destined to happen will eventually happen!"
Miaomiaolou actually released the news several months ago, revealing the content of this event. Not only them, but all the monsters present came here from afar just to get a promise from Miaomiaolou.
This Meow Meow Tower was first built in the Imperial City, then gradually grew larger and developed towards the surrounding areas. The forces behind it are complex and intricate.
If you can get its promise, one day you will be able to obtain power, wealth and beauty!
Fei Lian stretched out her right forelimb and her demonic power poured out. The wooden sign that she liked seemed to have eyes and flew to her on its own.
She took the wooden sign in her hand, showed it to Jiang Yuan a few more times, and said, "This is the third method I mentioned. If you can get the wooden sign with the words on it, you can ask Meow Meow Tower to take you to the Moon Palace."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but look up at the wooden signs floating in the air. At this time, there were only a few wooden signs left...
But even the lowest wooden sign is three stories high. How can she get it?
