Chapter 199: Chapter 0199: Set Out to Steal the Chicken but End Up Losing the Rice

Mei Dufeng’s face flashed a trace of surprise as he asked,

"You don’t want it, but haven’t you considered your future father-in-law? As far as we know, you are his son-in-law!"

"Hold on, what father-in-law? That was all messed up by you guys because of this Detoxification Pill, remember? So he decided not to marry his daughter off to me, but that’s okay."

Tang Ming clapped his hands and said with a laugh, "Anyway, I’ve got a new target now."

"Don’t be like that." Mei Dufeng quickly tried to persuade Tang Ming,

"If you trade back the Five Poison Colored Soil and beg him properly, I guarantee he’ll marry his daughter off to you."

"Forget it, the Miss Su Xiaoxi by my side is quite pretty as well, didn’t you see I even spent money to buy her an Ancient Bronze Sword to play with?"

Tang Ming said this deliberately, and it drove Mei Dufeng to frustration.

At the same time, Su Xiaoxi was walking into the restaurant from the entrance and spotted Tang Ming right away. She naturally came over, just in time to hear Tang Ming’s last remark, and immediately called out with a smile,

"Darling, how come you haven’t eaten yet?"

Tang Ming turned his head to look and immediately felt guilty, saying with a smile, "I’m dealing with something here, haven’t had the chance to eat yet, you know?"

"Oh, have you finished talking then?" Su Xiaoxi asked with concern.

"Finished, there wasn’t much to talk about in the first place."

Tang Ming immediately stood up, ready to leave the place to explain to Su Xiaoxi, lest she misunderstand.

Seeing that Tang Ming truly had no interest in the Five Poison Colored Soil and even had a new girlfriend, Mei Dufeng wanted to die on the spot, and quickly raised his voice to retain Tang Ming,

"Hold on, what exactly will it take for you to trade the Detoxification Pill with me?"

"That thing is pretty valuable, I really can’t bear to part with it." Tang Ming saw the desperate look on Mei Dufeng’s face, chuckled to himself, thinking the guy completely messed up without gaining anything in return, well deserved.

"Let me make a deal, I’ll trade you the Five Poison Colored Soil directly for a Detoxification Pill, that’s my biggest concession,"

Mei Dufeng said after some thought, teeth clenched.

"No deal, although I have a good relationship with Uncle Liu, making me lose a pill that can cure all poisons for nothing, I’m not that generous."

Tang Ming continued to shake his head, thinking to himself that he wouldn’t be satisfied until he made Mei Dufeng suffer, who asked for it with all his sneaky schemes?

Mei Dufeng was about to explode with anger, but for the greater good, he still pleaded with Tang Ming, "I spent 70 million to get this Five Poison Colored Soil, how much can you sell that Detoxification Pill for?"

"How about this, add some cash on top and I’ll trade the Detoxification Pill to you,"

Tang Ming said after some consideration, "Just add another 30 million."

"What?" Mei Dufeng nearly suffocated with rage, pleading,

"I spent all my money on the Five Poison Colored Soil, where am I going to find another 30 million?"

"No money, then goodbye, I’ve still got to go eat." Tang Ming finished speaking and turned to leave.

Mei Dufeng panicked and shouted,

"Don’t go, just wait a moment, I’ll consult with my senior brother and get back to you with an answer."

Su Xiaoxi, holding Tang Ming’s hand, said to Mei Dufeng with a smile,

"Then go have your discussion, we’re in room 302, if you agree, you can come find us."

Mei Dufeng slumped in his chair, completely drained of energy, while Long Er huffed and said:

"Uncle Master, we might as well just slaughter them. I simply refuse to believe we can’t find any Detoxification Pills."

"What a rotten idea. This auction is hosted by several major Martial Arts Families. If you act recklessly, it will inevitably lead to a sour relationship between our Poison Sect and the families. If the Sect Master starts asking questions, we wouldn’t be able to handle the consequences."

Mei Dufeng shook his head and chided Long Er’s suggestion.

After a moment of silence, Mei Dufeng said with a grimace, "No other way, I’ll have to go ask my senior brother. Seems like I can’t avoid a scolding."

Su Xiaoxi, arm in arm with Tang Ming, left the restaurant. Along the way, she took out a Dodo Rabbit from her pocket, placed it in her palm, and said adoringly:

"Look at how cute this little rabbit is. Oh, by the way, how did you do it earlier?"

"Curious?" Tang Ming smiled and said, "It’s my unique trick, of course I can’t tell you."

"Hmph, as if I’m dying to ask," Su Xiaoxi said, looking at Tang Ming, then suddenly blushed and asked:

"By the way, when you told those Poison Sect guys in the restaurant that I was your girlfriend, were you thinking of pursuing me?"

"Oh, I was just lying to those scumbags earlier. You believe that?" Tang Ming pursed his lips and said.

"Psh, you definitely like me, which is why you said that," Su Xiaoxi said narcissistically:

"For a pretty girl like me, you must have secretly fallen for me. You couldn’t help but reveal your feelings for me."

Tang Ming rolled his eyes, and seeing no one else around, he smiled and said, "Then take off your clothes."

"Take off my clothes?" Su Xiaoxi said with a blush:

"Why would I take off my clothes?"

"Didn’t you say I have feelings for you? How can I feel anything for you without seeing your true colors?"

Tang Ming said with a smile, his eyes wandering around the chest area of Su Xiaoxi.

Su Xiaoxi blushed even deeper, darting Tang Ming a glare, and said: "You big pervert, always thinking of naughty things."

Tang Ming, with a curled lip, replied:

"If you won’t show me, forget it. Anyway, your figure is just about sticking out at the front and back."

"What more do you want then?" Su Xiaoxi, hearing Tang Ming’s words, suddenly wondered if this guy also wanted to touch her?

The more she thought about it, the redder her face became, and she simply didn’t dare to bring it up with Tang Ming anymore, for fear he might do something excessive.

Of course, Su Xiaoxi definitely had a good impression of Tang Ming, otherwise, a man and a woman wouldn’t be able to get to these topics. However, Su Xiaoxi’s family was very strict and she usually didn’t dare do anything excessive.

She turned her head and saw Tang Ming walking ahead with a mischievous smile, knowing he was just teasing her, which made her pout even more and turn away, ignoring him to go eat.

After they finished eating, Mei Dufeng still hadn’t returned. Naturally, Tang Ming wouldn’t specially wait for the guy, since that would make him seem too eager to make a deal.

Recalling Su Xiaoxi mentioning waiting in room 302, Tang Ming had no choice but to follow Su Xiaoxi back to the room.

When they reached the door of room 302, Su Xiaoxi pushed the door open, went straight in, and sat down on the bed. Tang Ming followed her in.

Although Su Xiaoxi appeared quite open-minded on the surface, deep down she was actually quite traditional. Even if she had a bit of a crush on Tang Ming, she would never have any kind of relation with him. Knowing that Tang Ming was intentionally aggravating her, yet feeling a bit anxious and conflicted, she sat on the bed and sulked as soon as she entered the room.

Tang Ming paid her no mind because he knew that the more he tried to appease her, the more likely Su Xiaoxi would be to get even angrier. It was better to just wait until her anger subsided by itself.

Meanwhile, in another guest room of the hotel, Long Duba sat cross-legged on the bed, his face stern and ashen.
