Chapter 1860 - 1855: Sharp Judge of Character
"You must be wanting to get it too!"
Upon hearing this calm statement, the snake that had tricked the Treasure-hunting Rabbit earlier nodded vigorously without hesitation.
It knew that claiming disinterest now wouldn’t be believable to anyone.
No matter how it tried to hide it, the desire in its eyes was undeniable...
The Treasure-hunting Rabbit wasn’t surprised at all, having already predicted it would nod!
With a light smile, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit softly stated its rules, "I only accept bartering, if you have worthy items to trade with me. But if the items aren’t especially valuable, forget it, because this isn’t a junkyard."
The snake gently nodded...
Soon, somewhat reluctantly, it produced three medicinal herbs it had previously swindled from the Treasure-hunting Rabbit, knowing those were its most valuable possessions!
The Treasure-hunting Rabbit glanced at them and spoke meaningfully, "Where did you get these? They look familiar."
Hearing the Treasure-hunting Rabbit deliberately say this, it felt a bit embarrassed.
With a cough, it initiated an apology.
It knew it was at fault earlier...
Therefore, now it must sincerely apologize, or else the situation will only become more awkward...
Truthfully, if only the Treasure-hunting Rabbit were here, it might have chosen another approach.
However, with Hei and Xiaobai sitting on either side of the Treasure-hunting Rabbit, clarity came to it.
Hence, it knew the best method now was a soft apology.
Seeing it bow its head apologetically, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit understood its sincerity.
Recalling the benefits gained because of it earlier, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit opted not to dwell but instead picked up a deep black gourd.
After swiftly filling it to the brim, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit tossed the deep black gourd across.
"This should be enough for you!"
As it was thrown, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit spoke quickly.
The snake didn’t hear what the Treasure-hunting Rabbit said because it was entirely focused on the deep black gourd.
As it approached, it swiftly coiled its tail around it.
Once secured, it glanced at it quickly...
And upon seeing it, it looked excitedly at the Treasure-hunting Rabbit.
The Treasure-hunting Rabbit looked at it and said, "From now on, our accounts are settled. If you want more, you’ll need to bring more for trade."
Upon hearing this, it nodded gently!
Soon, it turned and left.
It took another path at this moment because it knew more of its kind were approaching, and turning back on the previous path might lead to encounters.
While not afraid of trouble, fewer troubles are always better.
Seeing it choose another path, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit squinted lightly...
Previously, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit considered asking Hei or Xiaobai to accompany it; now that idea was abandoned because its caution meant the problem should not be significant.
Quickly, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit dismissed this matter from its mind due to more pressing concerns.
Because more beasts were appearing.
Seeing the Treasure-hunting Rabbit, they all wanted to just swipe it aside and claim all of these crucial deep black liquids for themselves.
But upon seeing Hei and Xiaobai, they all calmed completely.
And thus, everyone began to engage with the Treasure-hunting Rabbit in barter trade...
As the transactions proceeded, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit accumulated more good items.
Naturally, in correlation, the previously full wooden barrel of black poison liquid quickly diminished.
"It’s running out!"
The Treasure-hunting Rabbit soon wore a distressed look!
Having acquired so many things earlier, it hoped to continue.
But it realized it was almost gone...
This really made it downcast...
"That’s it for today, there’s nothing left!"
Five minutes later, after placing the last drop into the gourd, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit muttered quietly.
That statement discontented many beasts who had just arrived, as they obtained nothing.
Seeing their visible anger, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit spoke up: "I know you’re unhappy, I am too! But there’s really nothing left now; I can’t do anything about it! Once I have more, I’ll notify you immediately."
Upon hearing this assurance, they shared a glance and chose to leave silently...
They knew they had to wait now.
Given that neither Hei nor Xiaobai were easily trifled with...
Seeing them all turn to leave, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit exhaled a long sigh.
Earlier it had worried they might lose their minds.
Even if they lost their minds, Hei and Xiaobai could suppress them, but such situations are always troublesome, so their straightforward departure was advantageous.
A lengthy sigh of relief escaped it, as the Treasure-hunting Rabbit gazed at the mountain-like pile of treasures.
"Struck gold, truly struck gold!"
With that said, it excitedly threw itself onto the pile.
Right now, it was practically thrilled to death...
Previously, it had collected many good items, but even all its collections couldn’t compare to the treasures now before it.
It knew these items were genuinely priceless.
Watching the Treasure-hunting Rabbit excitedly dive in, Hei and Xiaobai rubbed their hands eagerly.
Honestly, they were quite envious too.
Though their discernment wasn’t as sharp as the Treasure-hunting Rabbit’s, they knew these items truly were priceless.
Hence, anticipating their share soon, they were particularly joyful and thrilled...
...
Glancing at the elated Treasure-hunting Rabbit, Hu Xiaobei knew it was time for him to make his entrance!
With that thought, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his hands in eager anticipation and said, "Alright, the trading session has concluded, let’s go over!"
"Xiaobei, you wouldn’t be thinking of taking all the good stuff, would you?"
"Exactly!"
Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei’s suggestion, they shared a look and murmured softly...
Hu Xiaobei laughed upon hearing them and said, "You sure see through people well! That’s indeed my plan. Since I provided the poison liquid, it’s only fair I get a share!"
Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei’s firm declaration, they narrowed their eyes and said, "Then, we should also get a share, since this poison liquid was contributed from our side."
After some contemplation, Hu Xiaobei nodded with a smile, "That’s right! Let’s all go over there swiftly!"
"Okay!"
With that, the three walked ahead eagerly...
...
"Huh? Why do I have a bad feeling about this?"
Lying on the pile of medicinal herbs, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit felt a hint of unease...
Just as it was about to do something, it heard footsteps and turned to see Hu Xiaobei walking over with a grin.
Seeing Hu Xiaobei’s face full of smiles, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit realized why it felt uneasy...
