Douluo's arrogance

Chapter 5 Buying Books

When I woke up in the morning, the color of the red mark was much lighter, and it wasn't very painful anymore. I think it was the practice of Bull Demon Skin Training that had an effect. It only took two days of practice to do this homework, which made Zhao Bai look forward to the follow-up of Bull Demon Powerful Fist. Now, Zhao Bai pinched his arms and thighs. The skin became firmer and more resistant to being fucked.

He started eating his usual breakfast, the same fried dough sticks and white porridge, and ate it as usual. If his butt wasn't still aching, he would have thought that the slap on him so hard yesterday happened in a dream.

Zhao Bai took a peek at Zhao's father, deliberately exaggeratedly eating the porridge, and stuffed the whole fried dough stick into his mouth.

"Eat slowly. Hungry ghosts eat better than you. Where do you want to eat in such a hurry?" Father Zhao cursed, but did not make any more moves.

Hmm, I didn't help slapping him, nor did I ignore him. It seemed that I had almost forgiven him.

Father Zhao actually still wanted to spank him, but he had already been beaten severely yesterday. If he continued to spank, he might be injured physically. He was only such a son.

"I'm full." He put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up and stared into his parents' eyes, "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry for running back without your consent. It's my fault. I'm sorry, I can't say the reason. I don't regret it, I I chose to come back because I had confidence. I believed that I could become a perfect person even if I didn't join Wuhun Palace. I didn't care about the mood of my parents behind me and ran out of the house without even looking back.

"Humph, you still know how to apologize. What did you do before?" Sometimes men are unreasonable, but he forgot who came up and beat him yesterday without giving him a chance to speak.

"Okay, you are not young anymore. Why are you angry with your child? He has apologized now, so just forgive him."

"Why am I angry with him? What do I have to be angry about? It's not that I gave up that great future." Father Zhao disagreed with Mother Zhao's statement and retorted, "By the way, let's kill a chicken and eat it these days." , I want to eat some meat recently."

"Okay, I understand." Mother Zhao gave him a look of disdain. Men are troublesome. If you want to feed your son well and have such a good face, can't you just say it out loud? Don't you feel tired if you keep it in your heart?

Keshan is a famous small businessman in Woniu Village. He owns the only carriage in the village, which allows him to travel back and forth between Notting City and Woniu Village in a short time. When he meets people, he often says, "The way to do business is: The first is souvenirs, the second is handouts, and the third is profit." And he did do business according to this principle, purchasing items from villagers at reasonable and fair prices, and then reselling them to Notting City. As time went by, the villagers gradually trusted him, and they would only sell items that could be sold to him. Of course, villagers will also come to him to purchase whatever items they need.

In fact, the village chief wanted to ask Ke Shan to take the children to report yesterday, but unfortunately Ke Shan was not in Woniu Village at that time.

Zhao Bai looked at the man in front of him. He had a round figure but did not look fat. His face was round and big, with a kind smile hanging on the corners of his split mouth. His eyes were narrowed into a line by the two fleshy balls on his cheeks, but Zhao Bai You can still feel shrewdness from those narrowed eyes.

Ke Shan was happy. Zhao Bai was notoriously withdrawn and didn't like to play with other children. He would take his cow to the mountain early every time and stay there for several hours. He didn't even want to go home until it was time to eat. When meeting people, I just say hello and don't talk much.

What's more, the whole village is spreading news about him today. The stupid boy ran away midway and refused to join the Wuhun Temple. His father took off his pants and spanked him hard. The cry was heartbreaking. The protagonist of the story is the little boy in front of him. He is quite curious about what this strange boy wants to do with him.

"Uncle Keshan, I want to go to Notting City to buy some books. Can you take me along?"

The villagers have no need to read books, and there is no bookstore in the village. He can only go to Notting City to buy them. Moreover, what Zhao Bai wanted to buy was a book about martial soul cultivation. Woniu Village has never produced a soul saint, and can only share the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy with three other villages. It is a pity that it is not my turn this year. he.

"Haha, I'm still thinking about what you want me to help you with. You don't need to go to Notting City. Just tell me what book you want and I'll buy it for you." Ke Shan touched him with his right hand. The belly, which was as round as a rubber ball without inflating, said cheerfully, and the two pieces of flesh on the cheeks kept shaking up and down.

"What I want is a book on how to cultivate martial arts. Uncle Keshan, please take me for a ride. Only I know what knowledge I lack. The travel expenses will be paid."

"Okay then, I promise to take you to Notting City, and there will be no travel expenses. But you have to agree to one request, follow me and don't run around. Also, do your parents agree?"

Hey, I ran out in a hurry and forgot to tell my parents, but it's not a big deal, just find someone to bring a word to the family.

"Come here, get ready to go." Ke Shan had finished loading the goods and waved at the carriage, indicating that Zhao Bai was ready to set off.

The carriage is a combination of a horse and a four-wheeled cart, like the carriage of the protagonist in The Wolf and Spice. Zhao Bai and Ke Shan sit side by side in the front.

"Drive." The horse's hooves hit the ground, and there was a cry in the nose. It exhaled a breath of white air and made a series of neighs. The carriage slowly drove out of the village entrance with a tremble.

Notting City is not a big city, but because it is very close to the border of the Tiandou Empire, the city walls are very thick and Zhao Bai can see it from a distance. Ke Shan and Zhao Bai got off the carriage and underwent routine inspection before entering Notting City.

"Xiao Bai, you remember what you promised me. I have to complete the transaction first before I can take you to the bookstore to buy books."

Ke Shan drove the carriage through the crowd, took Zhao Bai to the door of a small shop, and greeted him inside. The store clerk came up to him and chatted with Ke Shan for a few words. It must be an acquaintance who made a list and moved the goods to complete the transaction. Ke Shan Shanma buys the items the villagers need from the store.

After walking through three or four shops in a row, Ke Shan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiao Bai, my work is done. I will take you to the largest bookstore in Notting City now."

The bookstore is indeed quite large. The rows of bookshelves are arranged in an orderly manner and with clear levels. The passage between the bookshelves is large enough for three people to pass side by side. There were not many people, they gathered in twos and threes near the bookshelf, each holding a book.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Bai went straight to the bookshelf in the "Martial Spirits" category. At a glance, "On the Difference between Beast Spirits and Artifact Spirits", "Prospects for the Development of Martial Spirits", and "Heritability of Martial Spirits" were arranged among the books. Orderly and dazzling, you can choose from.

Zhao Bai thought carefully and took out two books from the bookshelf, "Notes on Cultivation of Soul Power" and "Common Knowledge of Soul Beast Forest", and handed the two books to the counter.

"A total of 21 copper soul coins were consumed."

So expensive! Although I had expected it, it still felt very expensive.

Zhao Bai opened the mouth of the money bag, poured out the soul coins inside, counted 21 coins, and took back 4 coins. Of course, this purse was not the one given to him by Zhao's father. The two gold soul coins were confiscated after beating him. The copper soul coins in the purse now were obtained from his mother last night.

"Uncle Keshan, I still want to go somewhere. Can you accompany me?"

Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy is located in the west of Notting City. Zhao Bai looked at the arch in front of him. It was about twenty meters wide and ten meters high. It was carefully repaired from hard rock. In the middle of the arch, it read "Notting City". "College" in four big characters.

Under the arch are two iron gates, and a road leads directly to the interior, lined with dense trees.

"What? It's time to get out after watching it for so long. Is this a place where you country people can come?"

Maybe it was because Zhao Bai had been standing in front of the door and the concierge came to chase him away, but the disdain revealed in his words was really annoying.

Zhao Bai ignored this arrogant idiot. Someone would teach him a lesson. He returned to the carriage and said, "Go back, I'm done reading."

On the way back, Ke Shan looked at Zhao Bai who kept his head down and said, "Why are you not happy? Seeing the glory of Notting College, you have realized how important the profession of soul master is on the mainland, right? I regret not joining Wuhun." Are you in the palace?"

"No, I just think that the concierge of Notting College deserves a beating." Ke Shan didn't see the firmness in his eyes that were covered by his hair.
