Douluo: I'm Really Ordinary

Chapter 23: Taking care of business

When Jiang Cheng returned home, Su Jing had already prepared a meal and was waiting for them.

The family was sitting at the dinner table, and the heat and aroma of the food mixed with Jiang Yue's red face. Those who didn't know thought he had a bottle of Erguotou.

Jiang Cheng was also sincerely happy for this cheap dad and asked by the way.

"Dad, what do you decide to do with this level [-] soul ring?"

Jiang Yue gnawed on the ribs, feeling proud.

"Don't worry, I have made arrangements a long time ago. I will go to Hu Long and ask him to help tomorrow."

"Not only that, but the leader of our escort agency is Uncle Lie whom you met during the last Chinese New Year."

"He also said he would help. Can the two soul sects, plus a bunch of brothers, still handle a 5000-year-old soul beast?"

The Zhao Lie that Jiang Yue was talking about was the head of the Liefeng Escort Bureau, who coordinated all matters in the Escort Bureau. He was also a level 47 War Soul Sect.

Coupled with the current level 40 Jiangcheng, there are only four soul sects in the entire Liefeng Escort Agency.

Jiang Cheng sighed after hearing this.

"It seems that after you broke through, Uncle Lie was even happier than you. Let's put aside the affairs of the escort agency and help you hunt down a good soul beast first."

"Of course, it doesn't matter who your father is,"

Jiang Yue raised the corner of his mouth.

"Come on, after tomorrow, just enjoy your father and my gorgeous fourth soul skill!"

"This time, I will hunt down a 4000-year-old soul beast without saying anything. I don't care about anything else!"

"So I'll go too?"

Jiang Cheng pointed at himself and asked.

Before Jiang Yue could speak, Su Jing was the first to object.

"No, it's so dangerous. They're not just killing pigs."

"You can still join in the fun with a soul beast that is hundreds of years old, but you are determined not to go with a soul beast that is thousands of years old!"

Jiang Cheng thought about it and felt that it did make sense. When encountering a spirit beast from about 5000 years ago, he could only run away or hold back.

"Forget it, Dad, please be careful on the road, I will wait for your triumphant return."

"That must be dripped."

……

The next day, dawn.

Jiang Yue got up early, had a quick meal and got ready to go.

Jiang Cheng also followed. Since he was going to the wilderness forest to hunt soul beasts, he went to the town to wander around and wait for them.

Jiang Yue and Su Jing nodded and agreed.

On the other side, Zhao Lie also explained some matters to the deputy head escort, then came to the town and met Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue also took Jiang Cheng to where Hu Long lived and briefly explained his purpose.

"Okay, you guy, you can't stand the wind and rain in the escort office every day. You should have broken through the Soul Sect long ago."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Several brothers in the mercenary group have gone home to visit relatives. There are only five left. No matter what, I have to get a powerful one for you."

Hu Long smiled particularly openly, shook hands with Zhao Lie, and nodded.

"I think this must be the head of the Liefeng Escort Agency. I can see him in person today."

"Hahaha, it's all the same. Don't be polite to me. I, Zhao, have heard of Captain Hu's name for a long time, and I really admire him."

The two of them exchanged pleasantries, called a few brothers, and prepared to set off.

Hu Long glanced at Jiang Cheng and smiled.

"Boy, just wait here, if you're really bored."

"In addition to the servants at home, my niece Hu Xian is also at home. You can exchange knowledge and other things. I don't understand much about this. Let's go!"

Su Jing also said, "I'm going over too, please stay here and don't run around."

"it is good."

Jiang Cheng nodded and watched Jiang Yue, Hu Long, Zhao Lie and the others leave, shrugging helplessly.

Suddenly, I was lightly tapped on the shoulder. It was Hu Long’s niece, Hu Xian.

She stretched out her hand, smiled slightly and said, "Let's get to know each other, I've seen you in school."

"You ever met me?"

Jiang Cheng was in a daze.

"Not only have we met, but you also want to call me senior. I am currently a top student in the sixth grade."

"Senior, I have long admired you..."

Jiang Cheng shook hands with her, looking curious.

"Then let's compare your strength."

When Hu Xian heard this, he stuck out his tongue.

"No, my martial spirit is a wine gourd, a level 17 food-type soul master."

"oh, I see……"

The two of them were silent for a while, slightly embarrassed.

"Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"

By chance, a suitable voice sounded, still knocking on the door.

Hu Xian rushed over, looked through the crack in the door, and found that it was a young man about the same age as her, and slowly opened the door.

"Is there a problem?"

"Uh, is this the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group?" The young man looked left and right, a little hesitant.

"Yes." Hu Xian nodded.

When the young man heard this, he immediately rubbed his hands in excitement.

"That's great. I came here because I heard that your mercenary group has a good reputation."

"I want you to help me hunt down a 700-year-old soul beast so that I can successfully obtain the second soul ring. How about you pay me the reward?"

In addition to fighting in the Soul Beast Forest every day, the mercenary group also takes on various tasks to obtain rewards, hunt animal skins, hire escorts, etc...

"This one……"

Hu Xian was a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, my uncle and the others left early in the morning. If you're not in a hurry, you can come back tomorrow."

"That's it... then, excuse me."

The young man's good mood suddenly fell to the bottom of the cliff, and he was so devastated that he was ready to turn around and leave.

"Wait a moment."

As expected, Jiang Cheng stopped him.

"A 700-year-old soul beast, I can help you."

"really?"

The young man had a look of surprise on his face. He turned his head and looked at Jiang Cheng, who was as old as him. Hehehe was written all over his face.

"I... don't like other people's jokes."

"No kidding, I won't ask for money if I can't do it. Anyway, there is no other way now, so let me try."

"Are you crazy? Can you defeat a 700-year-old soul beast?"

Hu Xian's eyes widened, he pulled him aside and said.

"Don't seek death. It's too dangerous. Do you think hunting soul beasts is that easy?"

"Senior, I know what's going on, so just relax. Besides, Uncle Hu Long has helped my dad so much, including my first soul ring."

"Since he's not here, it's okay for me to take care of business for him naturally."

After thinking about it, Hu Xian gritted his teeth.

"Then... okay, I'll get the marked map and follow the route on it. At least we won't encounter soul beasts beyond our predictions."

Hu Xian sighed, then turned his head again, looked at the young man and said.

"Help hunt the 700-year-old soul beast. The price is 50 gold soul coins. If you make other requests, there will be an additional service fee. You should pay a deposit of 10 gold soul coins first."

After saying that, Hu Xian ran into the house to get the map.

"not me……"

The young man was about to cry, "I haven't agreed yet, you are buying and selling by force..."

Jiang Cheng walked over and patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry, brother. We are a professional team, not to mention that I am also a member of the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group. I will never ruin my family's reputation."

"That's right."

The boy's eyes lit up.

"It seems that you are at least a level 25 great soul master. Then you are very talented. Why are you in this small town? You should go out more often."

Jiang Cheng smiled mysteriously, "Keep it secret, you will know when the time comes."

PS: Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and all book friends are blessed with good luck in the Year of the Tiger, so I will update once for the time being, and resume two updates from tomorrow. I’m just a pig!
