BXBX NOVEL Chapter 168 Beef Jerky Strips
Hung Chao was a robust man with an average face, so he was envious of the look of Ping Gong.
Though it wasn\'t by a large margin since he believed strength is what matters the most. Hence, his physical build was extremely fit, and was known for his punching skills.
"Ping Gong, you dare to cross me today in the ancient ruin, and we all know life and death are destined by heaven. Today, you shall die in my fist." Hung Chao threatened.
"Hmph, I would naturally comply with your wish if you want to die, Hung Chao." Ping Gong responded.
However, he quickly raised his hand to stop Hung Chao and tilted his head slightly to the right.
"I wouldn\'t mind fighting to the death, but we have a little rat here, eating some beef jerky. You might be able to conceal your presence, but the stench of those beef jerky is way too strong." He shouted aloud.
Jiang Ming held a dumbfounded look as his hand paused in motion. The beef jerky was about to land in his mouth until he was suddenly caught by Ping Gong.
\'The fuck? What kind of nose do you have to smell my smoky beef jerky?\' Jiang Ming cursed silently in his heart.
How was he supposed to know that a piece of beef jerky would expose his location?
That doesn\'t even make any sense.
"Are you still planning on ratting in the bush or do you want me to lend you a hand?"
Hearing the decisive tone of Ping Gong, Jiang Ming was sure he wasn\'t bluffing his claim.
Jiang Ming placed his mask back on his face as he walked out of the bush and glared at Ping Gong.
"Damn it, are you a fucking dog in your previous life?" He cursed.
"You have to be a damn dog if you can smell my beef jerky from that far."
Ping Gong gnashed his teeth in anger, but his eyes remained fixated on the beef jerky.
\'Motherfucker, I\'ve been eating nothing but fucking vegetables ordered by that damn tigress. My stomach is practically starving for meat and here you are, hiding like a bitch and eating delicious meat in front of me?\' Ping Gong exclaimed inwardly.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ming casually continued to eat the beef jerky by lifting his mask slightly up to put it in his mouth, eating in front of everyone.
Ping Gong swallowed a mouthful of saliva in jealousy as he could subtly imagine the taste of the beef jerky.
His mouth started drooling, shocking everyone in the present.
"What the hell, Ping Gong?" Hung Chao was the first one to call him out.
"Why are you drooling in your mouth? I thought only hot babes would make you drool."
Ping Gong ignored the sneering tone from Hung Chao as he stepped forward and glared at Jiang Ming.
"I remember you… you are that fellow cultivator Jing that thrashed Di Qiaowei in the entrance." Ping Gong said in a grave tone. It only now did he recall why the mask looked familiar to him.
Added to the fact that Jiang Ming wasn\'t even afraid of being called out and still dared to reveal himself casually in front of them showcased his prowess.
He cupped his fist and held a solemn expression. "Since it\'s fellow cultivator Jing, I shall forgive your eavesdropping in exchange for some beef jerky."
THUMP!
Unable to believe their hearing, some of the followers of Ping Gong directly crashed to the ground with dumbfounded expressions.
\'Young Master, are you really that desperate to have some meat in your mouth?\' The followers all cried in their minds at the change in Ping Gong\'s behavior.
Ever since the engagement, his demeanor and personality completely changed- to the point where he would even value a tiny bit of meat over some treasures.
"I don\'t really care if you forgive me or not. But if you really want some of my beef jerky though, then what are you willing to offer in return?" Jiang Ming asked cheekily. Even he was a bit taken aback by the sudden request of Ping Gong.
\'Hmm, this Ping Gong\'s background information and recent behavior don\'t seem to align with one of the investigations.\' Jiang Ming thought.
The reason why he would still bother having a conversation with Ping Gong is because of the fact that he appeared to be different from the investigation report he had received.
Therefore, Jiang Ming decided to confirm the fact personally to determine whether Ping Gong was worthy to be kept alive or not.
If it\'s a threat that he needed to eliminate, then so be it. However, if it isn\'t a threat and could be allied instead, then it wouldn\'t be a bad thing for both of them.
Meanwhile, Ping Gong scrambled around his clothes for a few minutes before pulling out a ruby-looking crystal.
"Right here, fellow cultivator Jing. Although I don\'t know what this crystal is used for, I managed to find it near a waterfall." Ping Gong said, offering the ruby-looking crystal in exchange for some beef jerky.
Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow.
\'Crystal condensation? This guy\'s luck is pretty good…\' He thought.
He proceeded to grab the ruby crystal from Ping Gong and handed him three beef jerky strips.
"Don\'t think this is an unfair trade, Ping Gong. My beef jerky is not those random beef you find in any street vendor." Jiang Ming explained. He needed to clarify to Ping Gong that he was already being generous in giving him three beef jerky strips.
Ping Gong held a doubtful look as his hand trembled on the beef jerky strips on his hand. Whether his words are true or not, the fact was that he had been craving some meat in his stomach.
Without hesitation, Ping Gong quickly finished one beef jerky strip, looking extremely blissful.
\'Ahhh this is meat, the delicacy of any kind of gourmet. Fuck my tigress fiance and her damn vegetables.\' Ping Gong cried tears of joy.
However, what shocked everyone more was that he was showing signs of a breakthrough.
