The two men did have their reasons. Luo Ya nodded slightly and said to the group, "Why don't you go and collect your bounty first? I'll join you later."
Alice waved her hand and said, "I want to go with Brother Roya."
Alice naturally didn't care about such a small amount of money. In her eyes, Roya was the most important person, so it was normal for her to make such a decision.
Naturally, Roya did not refuse.
Then Luo Ya's gaze swept over Youyou and Huihui, preparing to choose one of them as his companion to go together.
"I certainly can't go alone. One of you will need to accompany me this time."
Youyou wasn't so eager to go back, but Huihui hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking, "Um, what does Luo Ya want to do there?"
"It's just a simple purchase of magical items."
"Is that all?"
That's all.
For some reason, Luo Ya seemed to sense that Huihui had breathed a sigh of relief.
As if she had made up her mind, Huihui said to Luo Ya, "Then, I can give you a ride."
"Is Huihui planning to go?" Youyou, who was standing to the side, hesitated for a moment. She wasn't particularly eager to see everyone in the village yet.
However, Youyou felt somewhat conflicted because her good friend Huihui had agreed to go back to the village.
Huihui noticed the troubled look on Youyou's face and casually said, "If Youyou doesn't want to go, then keep an eye on Kazuma and Aqua for me, and also collect my share of the reward for me, so that those two don't pocket it."
Youyou was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll get Alice's share for you too, okay?"
"Thank you." Alice thanked her politely, but it was clear that she didn't really care about the reward.
“Then let’s decide it this way and head to the adventurer’s town!” Just as Roya was about to make the decision, Darkness’s voice came softly: “Roya, I am also the princess’s guard. Wherever Your Highness is, I will be there.”
Roya scratched his head, but this time he did not refute Darkness's statement.
What she said is correct, and it is indeed the case, so there's nothing more to say.
"Alright then, one more person this time."
Aqua and Kazuma Sato couldn't wait to go back and collect their reward, ready to squander their lives recklessly.
The group that had come together now parted ways and went their separate ways.
The two horses separated and galloped off on their respective roads.
In the Crimson Demon Village, with the help of an acquaintance, things naturally became very easy.
In a small room in the Crimson Demon Village, seven people sat on the floor.
The room was cramped, the wooden door was dilapidated, and the walls were drafty.
And this is Huihui's hometown.
Roya sat down on the ground, with Alice and Darkness sitting next to him. Roya looked at the couple in front of him and fell into deep thought.
A woman who looked to be around thirty years old and appeared very gentle and virtuous was sizing up Luo Ya and his group.
The woman was very beautiful and spoke very softly, but her first impression on Luo Ya was rather strange. How should I put it? If I had to say, she was somewhat cunning.
That's right, Luo Ya's first impression of the woman was that she was the scheming type.
Beside the woman was a middle-aged man wearing a black hat, who was standing with his arms crossed, looking at Luo Ya and the others with a displeased expression.
The middle-aged man's face was somewhat thin, but the children next to him looked very healthy.
Two little girls were observing the boy with curiosity, one of them holding the girl's hand and hiding behind her, watching the unexpected guests.
Seemingly noticing Luo Ya's gaze, Huihui began to explain: "The one who looks very outgoing is my younger sister, the youngest in the family, named Xiaomi. The one hiding behind our mother is the second oldest in the family, named Chun Chunzi."
The Crimson Demon Clan's naming conventions have always been strange, but Roya didn't seem to mind.
Not only Luo Ya, but everyone else also showed no unusual expression. After all, there was already a guy named Huihui and Youyou in the team, so it didn't seem strange to invite Chun Chunzi and Xiaomi as well.
Seeing her father's sour face, Huihui patted his shoulder and pulled him outside. At the same time, she said to Luo Ya, "Excuse me for a moment, I need to discuss this with my father."
Only Luo Ya and Hui Hui's mother remained in the living room.
"And you are?" To avoid awkwardness, Roya asked first.
"Oh, Auntie, my name is Weiwei. You can just call me Auntie Weiwei. My husband's name is Piao Sanlang, um, that old man. You can just call him Uncle. By the way, what do you want? I'll go get you some food."
Weiwei patted her clothes and prepared to get upstairs to get something.
——————On the other side——————
Huihui pulled her father aside and whispered, "Hey, Dad, why do you have such a long face?"
"Hmph, you suddenly brought several people back without even saying a word." Piao Sanlang's expression remained serious, as if he was used to having a stern face.
Knowing her father's temperament, Huihui didn't say much and went straight to the point: "Dad, I've brought you a big business deal this time, haven't I?"
"A big deal?" Piao Sanlang looked at Huihui suspiciously, his expression showing a hint of doubt.
Seeing Piao Sanlang's expression, Huihui continued in a low voice, "That's the boy. He's my captain. He's super rich. He came to the Scarlet Devil Village to buy some magical items. You can rip him off. He's incredibly wealthy."
"Super rich?"
Piao Sanlang's expression shifted. He pondered for a moment, then suddenly said in a deep voice, "Daughter, that sum of money you sent not long ago, could it be...?"
Piao Sanlang suddenly choked up, his expression turning somewhat sorrowful, as if he were recalling some unpleasant things.
Huihui was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
After several breaths, looking at that slightly weathered and thin face, and that slightly sorrowful look in his eyes, I instantly lost my composure.
Two blushes instantly rose from the girl's cheeks. Huihui angrily punched Piao Sanlang's back with her fist and said, "Don't talk nonsense! He's my captain, my captain, understand? I didn't do anything like that! My body is still innocent!"
"Oh, is that so? But how did you get that money? I don't dare use it yet, for fear that you've done something foolish and I'm planning to use it to redeem you from your bondage."
"Dad, let's not talk about this anymore. There's no problem with that money. Did you understand what I just told you? That guy is super rich. We have to find a way to keep him here and prevent others from swindling him away," Huihui said again with a serious expression.
However, Huihui was met with a somewhat disdainful smile from Piaosaburo: "Rich? How much money could you possibly have? Let me tell you, the magic items of the Crimson Demon Clan are extremely expensive."
"He has at least five hundred million Eris."
Huihui replied expressionlessly.
"How much more?" Piao Sanlang stammered instantly, his weathered old face staring intently at Huihui.
Huihui sighed and repeated, "Luo Ya, my captain, has at least 500 million Eris."
Instantly, Piao Sanlang's breathing became rapid, and his expression was fixed on the boy sitting in the middle.
The boy sat cross-legged, his appearance and demeanor were both excellent, and his golden hair fell to his waist. At this moment, the boy's appearance was also excellent.
Piao Sanlang coughed a few times and called out loudly into the house, "Old woman, come out for a moment."
Weiwei, who was making tea in the kitchen, poked her head out and looked at the living room with some curiosity, then at the two people outside.
He muttered a few complaints: "What are you doing, being so secretive?"
However, Weiwei still walked outside.
The three formed a small circle, and Piao Sanlang said in a deep voice, "That guy is super rich. He has at least 500 million Eris."
Upon hearing this number, Weiwei was slightly taken aback, but she quickly recovered, a strange look appearing on her pretty face. Weiwei asked, "What does it have to do with you that he has so much money?"
Upon hearing this, Piao Sanlang became anxious and began to explain the whole story.
However, Weiwei remained silent upon hearing this.
After waiting a moment, Weiwei said in silence, "You're planning to sell him the things in your warehouse? Does he really need them?"
Piao Sanlang is indeed a very powerful magician.
However, the things he made were also strange and bizarre, and most of them had flashy functions, which led to his situation being the same as that of a shop manager who could never make money.
Incidentally, the store manager who never makes any money gets some of his supplies from here.
To some extent, the fact that Huihui's family became so poor is also related to Piao Sanlang.
Piao Sanlang glared at Weiwei, but Weiwei glared back. Piao Sanlang immediately lost his nerve and stammered, "That's because they don't know what's good for them!"
Weiwei sighed, her expression turning somewhat helpless.
Family members know best what kind of person their own father is.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. If you want to make money off him this time, you'd better listen to what he has to say."
Weiwei didn't dwell on the previous topic and said to Piao Sanlang.
Chapter 337 Two Divine Artifacts
Piao Sanlang nodded, his slightly gaunt face showing a serious expression for the first time. He walked into the house and immediately saw Luo Ya sitting in the living room.
Xiaomi was now smiling broadly as she surrounded Luo Ya.
This girl with black hair and red eyes looks very endearing; her chubby cheeks make her look quite cute.
Xiaomi has a very outgoing personality, and looking at girls always reminds him of his younger sister.
Aisha's personality is very similar to Xiaomi's, of course, this has to ignore the strange catchphrases unique to the Crimson Demon Clan.
Because Luo Ya has a younger sister, he usually comes into contact with quite a few children, so he naturally knows how to deal with them. In addition, as long as Luo Ya doesn't have a stern face, he seems like a very easy-going person, so it's natural that he's easily pursued by girls.
