Chapter 434: 434

The Attack (1)

“Alright!” Ye Lang gave the seller one gold coin and left .

“?? Master, what are you doing?” Tigress realised Ye Lang wasn’t holding the fur coat, he’d tossed the coat aside .

“Hey, hey, sir! What do you mean by this?” The seller was weirded out too .

“I’m taking my stuff! Or did you change your mind? You’re not selling this anymore?” Ye Lang stopped to ask .

“Not at all! We’re the tribesmen of the tiger tribe, we take our words very seriously . Miss Tai Ya here can confirm!” The seller was of the tiger tribe and also knew Tigress, though he wasn’t familiar with Ye Lang .

“Yeah, Master, the people of our tribe would never break their promises!” Tigress nodded with certainty .

“If that is the case, give it to me then!” said Ye Lang .

“This is for you!” The seller immediately handed Ye Lang the coat he previously pointed at .

“ . . . ” Ye Lang held the coat for a moment, then tossed it back . “Is this a joke? This isn’t what I want!”

“But you were pointing at this!” The seller was confused so he brought over all the coats that were hung near this coat . Perhaps Ye Lang had pointed to the wrong one .

“What? Not this!” Ye Lang merely said no as the seller brought him more coats .

“What the hell do you want now? Just take it!” The seller was getting impatient now, he thought Ye Lang might be wasting his time for fun . If it wasn’t for Miss Tai Ya, he would’ve beaten Ye Lang up .

“I wanted to take it myself but you were in the way… Excuse me…” Ye Lang ignored them all to take what he wanted .

“Ah…” Everyone was stunned because Ye Lang had taken the stone slab underneath the coats .

“Master, what are you doing? What is this for?” asked Athena, stunned . She couldn’t imagine what it would be for .

“Sir, you wanted to buy this?” asked the seller in surprise .

“Yep, exactly! I don’t have any use for the fur coats but if you’re struggling to sell them I can buy them all . It’s not a big deal,” said Ye Lang as he kept the stone slab in his space ring .

“It’s alright . You don’t have to buy these coats if you have no use for them . ” The seller shook his head . This clearly showed how different beastmen were from humans . A human seller couldn’t have cared less if Ye Lang needed his products as long as he could sell all his goods!

“Oh, carry on then . I’ll be looking at the other stalls!” Ye Lang didn’t mind, leaving in search of other treasures .

“Don’t you think it’s odd he bought a slab of stone?” Athena was about to ask Ye Lang but noticed Tigress wasn’t speaking, which was odd too .

“Master naturally has his own reasons . I’m sure that isn’t a regular slab of stone based on how he reacted! Also, even if it’s just a regular slab, he can buy it if he wants . He’s always been a prodigal son anyway, he doesn’t need a reason to spend his money!” Tigress said calmly . She was very, very calm about this entire ordeal .

His prodigal habits stemmed from the time before he met Tigress . These tendencies were also the reason why he bought her at the auction!

Taking a different perspective, if Ye Lang hadn’t been a prodigal son, she wouldn’t have been by his side . Perhaps she would’ve been someone else’s slave and meet a fate like the cat girl Taeya’s- or worse .

That was perhaps why Tigress was never repulsed by his spending habits, sometimes even silently supporting him .

“ . . . ” Athena was silent for a long time upon hearing Tigress’ words . She was mulling over what Tigress meant .

“Master, what is this for?” Athena was still curious, she had to know why he was so interested in this flat piece of stone .

“It’s a secret . I usually wouldn’t tell anyone this but this piece of stone is actually…” Ye Lang whispered mysteriously .

Athena’s ears perked up– uh, well, her ears were already standing– basically, she was listening hard to what Ye Lang was about to say .

At the same time, Tigress chuckled when she saw Ye Lang’s expression because she knew what would happen next .

“A secret!”

“?! What?!” Athena didn’t realise for a moment .

“A secret! I said it’s a secret! You’re so stupid!” Ye Lang laughed and sprinted away .

Athena stood in shock then finally stomped her foot . “Hmmph! Tell me! What IS that?!”

“No! I told you, I don’t usually tell anyone!” said Ye Lang after she caught up . Athena didn’t know to laugh or cry when she saw his look of defiance .

“I’m not JUST anyone! We’re pretty close! Master, tell me!” she smirked .

“No! Auntie, I want this!” Ye Lang continued his shopping spree as he spoke .

“Master, my dear Ye Lang…” Athena started using her ‘foxy tactics’, whining and purring demurely . Thank goodness she was a lot smaller than him so she looked more like a little sister begging her older brother for a toy .

“Alright, alright! I get chills when you do that! You’re such a fox! I’ll talk! To be honest…” Ye Lang finally relented . Unfortunately, his answer was…

“I don’t know what it is either!” This was part of the truth . Ye Lang had a feeling this slab of stone wasn’t any regular object, that there was something peculiar inside . However, he needed time to figure out the specifics .

“ . . . ”

I sacrificed my image for this answer?! Athena was going mad .

“Little fox, you’ve got a lot to learn! Don’t ask him questions like that in the future, he doesn’t know the answers half the time . ” Tigress walked over to give her a pat on the shoulder, grinning .

Yep, I am laughing at you! Did you really think you could take advantage of him like this? Don’t you think I’ve forgotten what you did just because we spent a few days together!

It would take a lot more than this for me to forgive you!
