Chapter 1396 Playing the Piano
Jiang Chen easily pried open the hairy crab's shell while everyone around him looked shocked.
Take a sip of sake and enjoy the crab roe in your mouth.
He didn't take this statement seriously at all.
Instead, he asked casually.
"If I guess correctly, this floating island is the territory of Lord Demon Fox!"
The expressions of the people around him changed instantly.
"What grudge do you have against my lord?"
Jiang Chen's face was suddenly filled with anger.
"Immortal hatred!"
The surrounding people suddenly became excited.
Someone among them shouted.
"Although there are people in our Borderless Land who like to burn, kill and loot, they will never fail to take responsibility for this matter. When Lord Demon Fox knows that you have come to seek revenge, he will definitely look good on you!"
Some people directly cursed.
"Shameless kid! You dare to go straight into my unowned land. Do you think this is a tourist place?"
Jiang Chen gently placed the crab shell on the plate.
The eyes burst out with overwhelming anger.
Sweeping around, the surrounding monsters were immediately frightened by the pressure, unable to open their mouths at all.
Jiang Chen then slowly spoke.
"Lord Demon Fox invaded Yanhuang, burned down three of my cities, and then left three lords, including Lord Will-o'-the-Wisp, to die on my route!"
"You keep saying you are responsible, but now who stands up and takes responsibility for this?"
"I have already knocked on the door, but he is hiding well. This is your lord!"
At this time, Jiang Chen gently put down the crab in his hand and was about to pick up the noodle bowl.
Suddenly, a pair of small hands pulled the crab roe noodles away from Jiang Chen's face.
Jiang Chen was stunned immediately.
He saw a graceful woman wearing a silk gauze sitting opposite him.
Judging from the outline, he is someone who takes good care of himself. However, his complexion looks as if he has been through war. His face looks like a tabby cat, with patches of black and blue.
"Who are you?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask.
The woman didn't answer at first, but took out her chopsticks and took three big mouthfuls of noodles.
The taste of crab roe and crab meat spread instantly from her mouth.
After eating a few more mouthfuls, the girl finally said: "You lost your money, don't you know it?"
Jiang Chen's face was filled with questions.
"I lost my money? When did it happen?"
The woman took Jiang Chen's sake again, and Gulu took a sip.
"Ha! This wine is so spicy!"
"That day when we went to bed, your money was placed next to my pillow!"
Jiang Chen's face suddenly turned red.
"Sleep? When have we ever slept?"
"I often swear to God that I have only slept with one person in my life!!"
There was a trace of horror on the woman's face.
"Wow! Then you must be very much in love!"
"Sleep after sleep, no girl can hold on to Shou Miyasa until she graduates from college. This is the real world!"
Jiang Chen was completely speechless.
"I said, little girl, who are you?"
The girl ate up all the noodles in the bowl and burped hard.
"Hiccup~~~"
"My name is Xiaoqian, guest! Have you forgotten? It happened two days ago!"
Jiang Chen suddenly came to his senses and pointed at Xiaoqian in surprise.
"Huh? Are you the one from the inn?"
Xiaoqian didn't care at all about Jiang Chen's pointing. She suddenly opened her mind and pulled out a brick-sized package from the yarn.
"Hey! This is the money you lost. Open it and see if it's missing!"
Jiang Chen was stunned immediately.
"No, sister, this money..."
Xiaoqian ignored Jiang Chen's dullness and continued drinking.
"Zi~ You are lucky to have this money. If you meet me, I can send it back to you!"
"If it were someone else, would you have taken all this money?"
"You don't understand the principle that wealth does not show wealth! Not to mention losing money, how many people are staring at the money in your hand and itching with hatred?"
Speaking of this, Xiaoqian suddenly realized that she had made a mistake.
Dozens of people around her stared at her with furious eyes, which obviously hurt them.
Jiang Chen chuckled lightly.
"You girl, you are really interesting. So you spent two days and two nights chasing me to the Fallen Continent just to pay me back?"
Xiaoqian opened her big black eyes.
"Ang! I'll feel relieved if I return it to you. Your bowl of noodles is quite delicious, so just use it as labor fee!"
"Okay, I have to wash my face and get back to work!"
Xiaoqian stood up immediately, and there was a strange smell emanating from her sleeves and robes. It was obvious that she had been traveling for two days and two nights and had no time to change clothes.
Jiang Chen suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
"Yeah!" Xiaoqian exclaimed.
"What are you doing! This is not an inn! You can't mess around!"
Jiang Chen was stunned and immediately withdrew his hand.
He didn't expect that this little girl knew about professional ethics.
At the "work" place, she has to work hard to please customers and earn money, but once she leaves the inn, she is herself, clean and self-sufficient and has a bottom line.
Jiang Chen suddenly felt a cramp-like pain in his heart, and even the Titan Curse Seal couldn't suppress it.
What kind of experience can make a girl ruin herself so much and yet be so strong in guarding her bottom line?
The more Jiang Chen thought about it, the more curious he became, and then he couldn't help but reach out and grab Xiaoqian's wrist.
But he woke up instantly, immediately let go of his hand, and explained hesitantly.
"No, you misunderstood, this money is for you!"
Xiaoqian frowned and said.
"No reward for no merit, why are you giving me money for no reason?"
Jiang Chen sighed lightly.
"Alas! You don't know that I am here to participate in the Lord Selection Competition. Whether I can survive or not is a question. Money is already a foreign thing to me."
"I heard that your dream is to make money to travel and settle in Yanhuang. I am also a Yanhuang native, and I can always think of my beautiful hometown. This money is your travel expenses to Yanhuang!"
Xiaoqian was stunned and said immediately.
"That's not okay! I slept with my clothes on that night and didn't work at all. I absolutely can't ask for your money!"
Jiang Chen was surprised at the little girl's stubbornness in front of money, and his heart hurt even more.
But he didn't want to let this unique girl suffer any more.
"Well, you can get paid as long as you do the work, right?"
Xiaoqian immediately knelt down in panic, her face flushed.
"I can't work in broad daylight with so many people around me!"
The Shenyang kid had a mean smile on his face and patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder.
"I'll rub it! Brother, you have a way of flirting with girls!"
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment and waved his hands repeatedly.
"No, no, no! That's not what I meant!"
When Xiaoqian heard this, she immediately raised her big black eyes to look at Jiang Chen. There seemed to be a trace of tears in the corners of her eyes.
Jiang Chen could read the disappointment in his expression.
However, Xiaoqian said firmly.
"I understand, I'm dirty and you won't let me serve you."
"Sir, apart from that kind of work, the only thing I know how to do is play the piano."
"I can play a trial piece first. If you think it's okay, my fee for playing the piano is two yuan a minute..."
Jiang Chen immediately slapped his thigh.
"Great! Then play the piano!"
"Don't count it by the minute. If I ask you to play it, you can play it for ten thousand a day."
Xiaoqian was dumbfounded. She moved her knees continuously.
"Sir, are you drunk? That's ten thousand yuan! Ten thousand yuan a day?"
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"That's it, now you start playing!"
