Chapter 29 The Mysterious Fat Boss
Chapter 29 The Mysterious Fat Boss
The shop at the end of the street is simple and deserted. A middle-aged fat man in a gray robe huddled in a ball, huddled tiredly on a rocking chair made of bamboo, shaking a rotten cattail fan, squinting and shaking his eyes. Chair.

"Just take a look,"

When there was business coming, the fat boss didn't even bother to open his eyes, he just shook his chair and only said these four words from his thick lips.

Seeing the deserted shop, and the lazy look of the fat boss, Ling Hantian felt that he might have come to the wrong place.

But now that everyone has come in, Ling Hantian didn't want to give up, and said, "Boss, do you accept jade pendants here?"

"Jade pendant?"

The fat boss’s narrowed eyes trembled slightly, and he said lightly: "There are countless shops in Tianxuan City, but you found me here. I think your jade pendant is of poor quality, right? It’s getting dark now, look at you It seems that you are in a hurry to spend money."

Although Ling Hantian didn't quite agree with the fat boss's previous sentence, the latter sentence was the truth.

"Bring something."

Just when Ling Hantian felt embarrassed, the fat boss stretched out his rotten cattail fan, shook it twice, and signaled Ling Hantian to put the jade pendant on the fan.

Ling Hantian was overjoyed, the fat boss was the first person willing to look at his things today, and quickly took out the half jade pendant from his bosom.

"Half a dollar?"

The fat boss was taken aback, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the half jade pendant on the fan.

After a while, the fat boss shook his head and said, "Your jade pendant is of good quality. Although it's only half a dollar, it's worth some gold coins. Those shops in front should accept this kind of jade, right?"

Hearing what the fat boss said, Ling Hantian remained silent, but clasped his hands together and pursed his lips tightly.

"Although this jade is worth some gold coins, I don't accept this kind of jade. You can put it on consignment with me."

"Consignment?" Ling Hantian was taken aback. If it was a consignment sale, he didn't know how long it would take to sell this jade pendant.

He is in urgent need of money now. If there is no gold coin, not only will he have no resources for cultivation, but it also means that Ling Hantian will have to sleep on the street tonight.

Just when Ling Hantian was hesitating whether to consign the jade pendant here, suddenly, a strong sense swept over him.

Ling Hantian gave a sharp meal, turned his head to look outside the shop, and suddenly felt powerless in the face of a prehistoric giant beast.

"It's a terrible perception. This person's strength is beyond my imagination."

Ling Hantian's mind was agitated, it was really hard for him to imagine how he could attract the attention of such a strong man.

But this perception came and went faster, as if it never happened.

The cattail fan in the hands of the fat boss stopped, squinted his eyes and glanced outside, and then said, "Little friend, I have changed my mind. I will take your jade pendant."

Woke up by the fat boss's words, Ling Hantian turned his head, looked at the fat boss, and after a long pause, he said uncertainly: "Boss, are you sure?"

"Of course," the fat boss said with certainty, waving the rotten cattail fan.

Although I don't know why the fat boss changed his mind, but since he is willing to accept the jade pendant, then he has gold coins, so he won't sleep on the street.

But what the fat boss said next made Ling Hantian's expression freeze.

"However, I don't have any gold coins, but I think you are also new to Tianxuan City. It just so happens that I still have a few rooms vacant here. If you don't mind, you can live here first."

"Your jade pendant is considered to be paying rent."

Looking at the small eyes of the fat boss who were almost narrowed into a line, Ling Hantian felt that the fat boss looked like a profiteer.

But just like what the fat boss said, he can't move an inch in Tianxuan City now, and if he leaves the shop, even sleeping on the street is probably a luxury.

After all, the other party spent so much energy playing with him, there must be other follow-up actions.

Even, the fleeting perception just now gave Ling Hantian a strong sense of crisis, which is a sense of crisis that his life is completely out of his control.

Thinking of this, Ling Hantian gritted his teeth, nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Deal."

"Hey!" The fat boss squinted his small eyes and laughed, and waved the rotten cattail fan in his hand, and the jade pendant slipped into his fat palm.

The fat boss put away the jade pendant, and pointed to the small door behind him, "There is a small courtyard behind, and there are a few empty cabins, which may be a bit messy, you can just pick one and clean it, and make do with it."

Following the direction pointed by the fat boss, Ling Hantian pushed open the small door, and suddenly a thick cloud of dust rushed towards his face, causing Ling Hantian to cough loudly.

Looking at the backyard again, there are cobwebs everywhere, all kinds of gravel, rotten wood, and scrap metal are scattered, and the dust on the corner of the wall is as thick as a thumb.

"Well, Xiaodian Xiaoli, I can't afford to hire people, so you should work harder." The fat boss's embarrassing voice sounded behind Ling Hantian.

Half an hour later, Ling Hantian finally cleaned up a room, sat on the edge of the bed, and fell into deep thought.

"I never imagined that I, Ling Hantian, would be so difficult to walk in Profound Sky City. If the fat boss didn't take me in, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a place to stay."

Ling Hantian slowly clasped his hands together, gritted his teeth and said, "Ling Tianyang, Ling Tianyang, do you think that this little trick can defeat me, Ling Hantian? Pull it down from the altar."
