Chapter 1500: Road

“This is?”

Wang Yu looked at the contract that Meng Xi held as there were some things he was unclear about.

“Sell the deed!” Meng Xi said in an assured tone, “With this, he definitely has to listen to you. If he dares to breach the contract, he would have to pay ten times the liquidated damages.”

Meng Xi reached out for A Thousand Old Blossoms’ money purse, “There are ten thousand gold coins in here. If you want to recover your money and avoid getting killed, sign this contract.”

“You can even do things like this?”

Wang Yu was stunned.

Wang Yu knew the benefits of using a contract in hiring mercenaries and workers since it could hold them accountable for their decisions. However, this was the first time he had seen a contract used this way.

“Of course!” Meng Xi educated Wang Yu in a patient manner, “Nothing beats everything written in black and white in a contract. Without the use of a contract, one would be susceptible to betrayal.”

She was indeed a child of a wealthy family. Her perspective of things was truly unique.

A Thousand Old Blossoms was sullen throughout.

If he signed the contract, he would be bound to Wang Yu forever. Yet if he did not, he would offend Wang Yu and won’t be able to survive in the game anymore. Furthermore, even his ill-gotten gains were also taken away from him.

As the saying goes, nothing is more precious than one’s life. Without another moment of deliberation, A Thousand Old Blossoms signed the contract.

“Done!”

Upon seeing his signature, Meng Xi took the contract and handed it over to Wang Yu, “It has all been resolved. How simple; let’s make a move.”

“Done?” Wang Yu was startled. He did not expect this lady to help him settle a potentially troublesome matter so neatly and efficiently.

“Haha!” Meng Xi plainly replied, “In this world, money is the answer to most problems.” Wang Yu sighed, “Your words make a lot of sense!”

After that brief moment of realisation, the two continued on their journey.

As they walked for a few more steps, Meng Xi grumbled and said, “Could you fly and carry me?”

Who would be willing to walk after all when there was an easier option?

“No way…” Wang Yu refused her, “That was a special case!”

“I am going to pay you…” Meng Xi wanted to use money to buy over Wang Yu’s favor.

“Sorry!” Wang Yu waved her request away, “I don’t lack money.”

“Beauty, I am short of money!” At this moment, A Thousand Old Blossoms came out of the blue, “I can carry you on my back!”

“Aiya!”

Meng Xi was startled by the reappearance of A Thousand Old Blossoms as she hid herself behind Wang Yu.

Wang Yu stared coldly at him, “Why have you not left?”

“Hehe!” A Thousand Old Blossoms chuckled and answered cheekily, “Boss Iron Bull, I am now your subordinate. How could I simply leave?”

“F*ck…” Wang Yu almost wanted to facepalm.

This A Thousand Old Blossoms was not only adept at swindling as he was also good at making people feel disgusted. Wang Yu could not stop himself from hurling a bunch of expletives at him.

“As long as you don’t impersonate me!” Wang Yu looked at him in resignation, “Go go, one more disgusting word from you and I will end you.”

“No, no…” A Thousand Old Blossoms grinned from ear to ear as he continued, “I am guessing the two of you are heading towards Ethel Mountain Range. Do you guys need a guide? I am quite familiar with this place.”

“Oh?” Meng Xi raised her brows, “Is that the case? Then it is alright for you to come along.”

“Hey, are we really letting this fellow tag along?” Wang Yu was speechless.

Who is this grandson? What did he bring to the table other than his disgusting and swindling skills?

“Yes.” Meng Xi laid out her reasoning, “You have just spent 10000 gold coins to hire him. Are we going to let that investment go to waste?”

“Sure, sure! You are the boss. You have the final say!” Wang Yu was too lazy to refute Meng Xi.

After all, in the game, such a lady could not possibly be abducted to the mountain to be married off.

“Hehehe!” When A Thousand Old Peach Blossom saw that Meng Xi had agreed for him to tag along, a wretched smile formed on his face. “If the two of you were to obtain any Assassin’s equipment, is any share of it mine?”

“Equipment?”

Wang Yu was startled. They were here to explore the dark crevice. What had that got to do with obtaining equipment?

“What’s wrong, Boss Iron Bull.” A Thousand Old Blossoms looked at Wang Yu and continued, “Although I signed the contract, I hope I can get fair treatment. If not, I am not going to go. The two of you outsiders would definitely not find the entrance on your own.”

“Entrance?”

The dark crevice’s location sounded like somewhere which had an entrance. Wang Yu nodded in agreement, “We will follow as you say.”

“Hehe!” A Thousand Old Blossoms chuckled, “Thank you, Boss Iron Bull.”

A Thousand Old Blossoms took the lead in the front.

This A Thousand Old Blossoms was indeed a good guide. The journey was stuttering with numerous starts and stops but they had avoided all the monsters. Their speed was surprisingly fast and not before long, they entered Ethel Mountain.

The three of them continued moving forward for another ten minutes before they reached a side road.

“Take a good look!” As they approached the side road, A Thousand Old Blossoms proudly declared, “This path is the way that leads to the Ethel Mountain Ridge. The rest are all the wrong paths. Without me, you guys would definitely not have found this place.”

“Ethel Mountain Ridge? What is that?” Wang Yu inquired.

“Hm?” A Thousand Old Blossoms looked at him with a strange expression, “That is the place where the Ancient Empire has carved open a treasured sacred lane. The monsters inside all drop the best equipment. Are you guys not here because of that?”

“Where does this road lead to?” Meng Xi interjected ahead of Wang Yu.

“This road…” A Thousand Old Blossoms heard her question as horror filled his face, “I deeply urge you not to take this road. The European border is just ahead. It is extremely dangerous.”

“Is that right? Thanks!”

Meng Xi smiled faintly and headed in that direction with Wang Yu closely in tow.

“Hey, hey, hey!”

A Thousand Old Blossoms was confused at the situation, “What are you guys trying to do? Have you had enough of living?”

Wang Yu, “We are indeed going over to Europe to take a look over there. Why are you not leading the way?”

“Going to Europe?” A Thousand Old Blossoms cried out, “Weren’t you guys going to fight for equipment?”

“Nope!” Wang Yu shook his head.

“Goodbye!”

A Thousand Old Blossoms rushed forward to hug Wang Yu’s fist as he made his leave.

What a joke. Who in Wild City did not know the dangers that lay near the border? The European players on the other side were waiting to prey on victims that dared to cross to the opposite side. Other than the members of the Kyushu Squad, anyone who tried was simply looking to die.

The reason that A Thousand Old Blossoms wanted to tag along was because he thought that he could leech on Wang Yu to obtain equipment. However, he made the decision to abandon ship the moment that Wang Yu and Meng Xi decided to take that path.
