131: One bottle can also be divided

“Even one bottle can be split,” Zhuang Sanming said, always one to defy expectations.

Su Duo: ?

Ximen Chuifeng also looked over, but he didn't intervene to stop Zhuang Sanming.

That kid is smart; he definitely wouldn't do anything that would result in a loss.

“How will you split it?” Feng Zhi quickly walked over. He no longer hoped for an entire bottle; even a third… no, a tenth would be fine.

“We’ll divide one bottle of water into two portions—half for you, half for us. That’s how we can split it,” Zhuang Sanming calculated precisely.

Feng Zhi was about to ask more, but Wang Yi took two steps forward, beating him to it and saying to Zhuang Sanming, “Just tell us, how many spirit stones do we need to add?”

“Straightforward! I like dealing with smart people.” Zhuang Sanming snapped his fingers. It wasn't easy to meet rich people; shouldn't he take advantage?

Actually, he didn't want to, but who made him so poor?

He could only rely on this kind of trickery… no, he was clearly doing a good deed!

Wang Yi and his companions hadn’t bought water, but because of his generosity, they would still get to drink some.

Isn’t this doing a good deed?

“We spent seven hundred spirit stones to buy the water. How about we charge you five hundred spirit stones for half of it?” Zhuang Sanming didn’t overcharge them too much, stating a figure that was relatively easy for them to accept.

Ximen Chuifeng, listening nearby, was a little surprised. He had thought Zhuang Sanming would take the opportunity to ask for more spirit stones, but he only added one hundred and fifty.

Which was just the price of a train ticket.

Wang Yi hadn't expected it either.

Originally, the three of them hadn't managed to get water. If Zhuang Sanming wasn't willing to share it with them, then no amount of money he offered would matter.

Yet, Zhuang Sanming was willing to give them half, and it only required them to spend an extra one hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones.

“I think that’s acceptable. The three of us will pay the five hundred spirit stones together,” Ge Yunying was the first to agree.

Feng Zhi was naturally willing; he was only afraid of not getting any water: “I think it’s feasible.”

Since both of them agreed, Wang Yi naturally wouldn't object: “Alright, it’s settled then. Thank you.”

“No need to thank me; we also earned extra money,” Zhuang Sanming said.

Although they charged an extra one hundred and fifty spirit stones, Wang Yi knew that this water could have been sold for a much higher price.

And if Zhuang Sanming hadn't sold it to them, they wouldn't have been able to drink the train exclusive water today.

So, Wang Yi would remember this favor.

They were all passengers on the green train. Although they didn't know each other's backgrounds, they were at least “fellow travelers,” and it was always good to be on friendly terms.

Su Duo brought the water over. Zhuang Sanming asked Wang Yi, “Do you have a cup with you?”

“This…”

“I do.” Ge Yunying took out her water cup and said, “Use this.”

“Good.” Zhuang Sanming didn't hesitate. After taking the cup, he poured out half of the water from the bottle.

The three of them, Wang Yi and his companions, gathered five hundred spirit stones, and the two sides exchanged money for goods.

“Pleasure doing business,” Zhuang Sanming said with a smile.

“Pleasure doing business.” Wang Yi nodded. Although it was only half, it was better than nothing.

Wang Yi and his companions left with the water, while Zhuang Sanming boarded the train.

“Why did you just get on?” Xiong Mao, seeing them board after buying tickets, and having already cultivated for several minutes, asked.

“Oh, nothing. You continue cultivating,” Zhuang Sanming whispered.

There were others on the train also cultivating.

“Oh, alright.” Xiong Mao didn’t ask any more questions. Cultivation time was precious and urgent, especially after drinking the water; he had to make good use of every minute… [Destination reached. Passengers, please disembark.]

Xiao Shen and Liu Ling'er’s travel time was up.

The few who had boarded before them had already disembarked, and Zheng Jinfeng was waiting for them outside the train.

“You’re out. Come quickly.”

As soon as Zheng Jinfeng saw them get off the train, she immediately went to greet them.

She was still holding the bottle of train exclusive water. It had been hard to acquire. Yesterday, they had shared Xiao Shen’s bottle among the three of them, and today she brought hers to share as well.

“Sister-in-law,” Liu Ling'er noticed the water in Zheng Jinfeng’s hand, “You haven’t drunk it yet?”

To be honest, Liu Ling'er was a little surprised, because she knew better than anyone how much Zheng Jinfeng needed to improve her martial artist talent.

Zheng Jinfeng’s combat talent was innate and very high, but her martial artist talent was rather ordinary. The Qi Cavitys in her body were just common Qi Cavitys, and there were many toxins blocking her meridians, causing her cultivation progress to be slow.

The reason she wanted to improve her talent and strength as quickly as possible was actually to avenge Chu Feiyue.

Thinking of this, Liu Ling'er felt immensely guilty.

If she hadn’t suddenly appeared at their doorstep covered in blood that day, the subsequent events wouldn’t have happened.

Chu Feiyue wouldn’t have died.

The two of them could have lived happily together.

Although Zheng Jinfeng always said that whenever Chu Feiyue went into the forest, she would pack her things in advance, ready to flee if Chu Feiyue didn’t return, Liu Ling'er knew that in Zheng Jinfeng’s heart, Chu Feiyue was still very important.

The two of them depended on each other in this man-eating apocalypse, and their feelings for each other were naturally deep.

But because of her arrival, the two of them were separated by life and death, never to meet again… “There’s only one bottle. We’ll drink it together when we get back.” Zheng Jinfeng nodded naturally and said.

The more Zheng Jinfeng acted this way, the more guilty Liu Ling'er felt.

Xiao Shen seemed to have noticed Liu Ling'er’s thoughts, so he proactively suggested, “Sister-in-law, you drink this bottle of water yourself. This water is more effective for people with low martial artist talent. I don’t need it, and Ling'er’s martial artist talent is better than yours. We’ll get her water tomorrow if we manage to grab some.”

“Ah?” Zheng Jinfeng hadn’t expected that neither of them would drink it.

Liu Ling'er instantly understood Xiao Shen’s meaning, so she quickly added, “Yes, Sister-in-law, my Qi Cavitys are better than yours. After drinking that cup of water yesterday, I’ve already seen great improvement. You just drink this bottle today.”

“Really?” Zheng Jinfeng showed a doubtful expression.

“Of course it’s real. Drink it quickly. Xiao Shen, I’m hungry. Let’s go back and eat,” Liu Ling'er turned her head.

“Alright.” Xiao Shen nodded.

Seeing that they genuinely wanted to give her this bottle of water, Zheng Jinfeng no longer refused. After all, she really needed this bottle of water to improve her meridians and Qi Cavitys.

She held the train exclusive water tightly in her hand, afraid of accidentally dropping and breaking it.

This water was the key to her future revenge for Chu Feiyue… 155 Fortress, Liu Family.

“What? You said the other three families are going to target our Liu Family in the Four Clan Tournament?!”

Liu Yancheng was drinking tea when he heard this from his informant in the Wang Family. He was so shocked that his teacup fell to the ground and shattered.

Liu Yancheng knew he was a bit flustered, but this matter was too important. So, he calmed down and asked again, “Did you see it with your own eyes?”
