MM Racing Chapter 25 Weakness is the Original Sin
Chapter 25 Weakness is the Original Sin
Hearing Ge Ye's unreasonable words, Xiao Zheng's pupils contracted slightly.
More than eight months have passed since he transmigrated, and this is the first time he has truly experienced the survival of the fittest on this Dou Qi Continent.
That Ge Ye was merely a steward of the Yunlan Sect, a Seven-Star Great Dou Master, and in the Jia Ma Empire, he was only a second-rate powerhouse.
However, because of the backing of the Yunlan Sect, they dare to so brazenly snatch what others have obtained first!
Upon hearing Ge Ye's rude words, Little Fairy Doctor instinctively shouted, "You're so unreasonable!"
"Everyone knows that the Ice Crystal Snow Lotus is a naturally occurring spiritual herb that grows after a snowfall, without owner or affiliation. What makes you claim it as yours?"
"On what grounds?"
Ge Ye sneered, too lazy to bother with any explanation, and directly unleashed the overwhelming aura of a Seven-Star Great Dou Master without reservation.
wow——
That momentum was like a raging torrent, instantly sweeping across the entire snowfield.
Xiao Zheng felt as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on him, so heavy that it made it difficult for him to breathe.
Although there is only a one-word difference between a Battle Master and a Great Battle Master, their strength is worlds apart.
If Xiao Zheng was in such a state, then the less powerful Little Fairy Doctor was even worse off.
Her face turned ashen instantly, her body trembled uncontrollably, and she staggered back half a step, almost collapsing to the ground under the weight of the aura.
"Be careful!"
Xiao Zheng quickly turned to the side and steadily pulled Little Fairy Doctor behind him.
The figure in front of her was broad and solid, like a barrier that blocked most of the pressure. Little Fairy Doctor was able to catch her breath, her chest heaving violently, her eyes filled with horror.
Looking at their disheveled appearance, Ge Ye's face revealed an arrogant expression: "This is my trump card!"
His eyes swept over the ice crystal snow lotus in Xiao Zheng's hand, his greed undisguised. "Since you refuse to hand it over voluntarily, then I will have no choice but to do it myself."
Just as Ge Ye raised his hand to activate his fighting technique, Nalan Yanran suddenly spoke up: "Steward Ge, these two are about my age, yet they dared to venture deep into the Monster Mountain Range. They are probably not ordinary people."
"We are here on a reconnaissance mission. Before we left, our master repeatedly warned us not to cause trouble and to be forgiving of others."
Ge Ye paused, pondered for a moment and felt it made sense, then took out a small bag from his storage ring and casually tossed it in front of Xiao Zheng and Little Fairy Doctor.
He said indifferently, "For the sake of the young lady, I will make the exchange with you."
"There are twenty healing pills here, enough to exchange for the snow lotus you have."
Nalan Yanran looked at the bag of healing pills and frowned slightly.
The value of this bag of healing pills is not even a drop in the ocean compared to that Ice Crystal Snow Lotus...
However, as long as Deacon Ge doesn't hurt anyone, nothing else matters.
She had no idea who these two people were, and there was no need for her to have a conflict with Kuzuha over strangers.
Xiao Zheng looked down at the luggage on the ground, his heart filled with surging anger.
In bustling areas, a single healing pill costs at most 200-300 gold coins.
In remote areas where this elixir is not readily available, it can only fetch a maximum of 2000 gold coins per pill.
Even if you add up twenty of them, they'll only be worth a maximum of 40,000 gold coins, which is not even a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of gold coins that the Ice Crystal Snow Lotus is worth.
This isn't an exchange, it's outright robbery!
Little Fairy Doctor instantly calculated the price difference, her face flushed with anger. Just as she was about to retort, Xiao Zheng secretly pressed down on her wrist.
Xiao Zheng knew perfectly well that he was not Xiao Yan; he had no Yao Lao to protect him, nor Xun'er to support him.
Facing Ge Ye, a Seven-Star Grandmaster, he and Little Fairy Doctor were powerless to fight back.
In this world, might makes right. Arguing now is pointless and will only lead to more serious consequences.
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the resentment in his heart; he could only keep this score to himself.
Just as Xiao Zheng was about to give up on the Ice Crystal Snow Lotus, Nalan Yanran's voice rang out again.
Her tone was somewhat condescending: "I advise you to honestly accept that what happened today was entirely your fault."
Xiao Zheng: ? ? ?
Sisters, it's one thing for you to blatantly rob me, but is it necessary to resort to moral blackmail?
Little Fairy Doctor finally couldn't hold back any longer and loudly retorted, "There's an order to everything!"
"We picked these snow lotuses first, what did we do wrong?"
Nalan Yanran's lips curled into a mocking smile, her icy gaze sweeping over the two. "To covet rare treasures with such weak strength—that's the biggest mistake you can make!"
"In this world, weakness is your original sin."
That's all I have to say. Take care of yourself.
These words struck Little Fairy Doctor's heart like a heavy hammer. She opened her mouth, but found herself unable to refute them.
In truth, she understood this principle perfectly well, but ever since she met Xiao Zheng, he had taken such good care of her that she almost forgot the cruelty of the world.
Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
What a profound statement: weakness is the original sin.
Your Yunlan Sect isn't invincible either. You bastards, just you wait!
He thought this in his heart, but appeared completely calm on the surface.
Not only that, Xiao Zheng also composed himself and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the other party: "You two are right to reprimand me. This matter is indeed a problem between my sister and me."
Little Fairy Doctor glanced at Xiao Zheng in surprise, feeling great admiration in her heart.
Brother Xiao Zheng is so young, yet he can be so flexible and adaptable; he's truly remarkable.
Xiao Zheng bent down and placed the Ice Crystal Snow Lotus on the snow, then raised his hand and activated the Absorption Palm to suck the bag that Ge Ye had thrown out into his palm.
He had no interest in the twenty healing pills; he only accepted them to make Ge Ye feel that it was a "fair exchange," thereby reducing the possibility that the other party would continue to make things difficult for them.
If he refuses the healing pill, he might anger Ge Ye.
Secondly, it might make Ge Ye think that he is arrogant and doesn't care about pills worth tens of thousands of gold coins.
In this way, the other party might become even more suspicious of his background, and to avoid future trouble, they might kill him to silence him!
Goodbye.
Xiao Zheng spoke succinctly, pulled up the still dazed Little Fairy Doctor, and turned to walk towards the nearby forest.
However, just as the two had taken a few steps, Ge Ye said to Nalan Yanran without any hesitation, "Miss, these two people are of unknown origin."
"That kid seems to be giving in, but he's actually quite shrewd."
"If they have some connections, letting them go today could cause trouble for both of us in the future."
Xiao Zheng abruptly stopped, his face instantly darkening.
Nalan Yanran frowned and fell into deep thought.
Looking at Xiao Zheng and Little Fairy Doctor's backs, and recalling Xiao Zheng's calm reaction when facing strong pressure, she had to admit that Ge Ye was right.
To possess such maturity at such a young age, releasing a tiger back into the mountains today could easily lead to it becoming a hidden danger in the future.
After pondering for a moment, she decided to leave the matter alone and said to Ge Ye, "Very well, Deacon Ge, you can handle it."
You decide what to do!
These five words immediately struck Xiao Zheng's heart like a boulder!
