Thriving in the Beast World

Chapter 787: Chapter 791: The Third Test 24

The leading Beast Soldier choked.

How hadn’t he thought about that?

His face became instantly unpleasant.

Before he could say anything, Su Tang changed the subject and continued.

"However, even though I can’t read, I’m quite interested in the book you mentioned. As a goodwill gesture, tell me where you probably hid the book first, and then I’ll consider trading the water pouch with you, alright?"

The leading Beast Soldier didn’t hurry to answer.

He carefully observed Su Tang’s face, sure that this little female was only intrigued out of curiosity, so she just asked.

He too couldn’t read, so the book was useless to him.

He originally planned to use this book to get something from Bai Que or Bai Ling at the right opportunity, but now he clearly couldn’t wait that long.

So he might as well tell the little female where he hid it first, get something useful for himself, and when he needed Bai Que’s help later, again use it to sell the information to them.

Anyhow, the book is hidden outside, whether to be found sooner or later isn’t important. The important thing is who finds the book first after going out.

Having thought this through, the leading Beast Soldier agreed to Su Tang’s request without hesitation.

"Fine, I will tell you. The book is hidden near the main gate outside the Wood Immortal Mansion, in a dried-up Ancient Tree, concealed by a clump of wild grass, and next to the tree root, a Red Poisonous Fruit is growing."

Quite a detailed description of the location, one could easily find it with a little search.

Su Tang was also very happy with his description.

"Agreed, I’ll trade the water pouch with you!"

A relieved smile appeared on the leading Beast Soldier’s face.

As he reached out to take the water pouch from Su Tang, she dodged.

The leading Beast Soldier’s face changed abruptly, and he asked in displeasure, "What do you mean? Are you going back on your word?"

Su Tang looked surprised at the leading Beast Soldier. "What are you saying? How can you accuse me? You want to snatch my water pouch, so I moved away. Did I do something wrong?"

The leading Beast Soldier was left fuming over Su Tang’s unrestrained attitude; his face contorted with anger.

However, feeling the protective vibes emitting from Gaiyin standing nearby, he dared not act rashly.

He just took a deep breath, suppressing the discontent in his heart, and asked again.

"We clearly agreed just now. I tell you the information, you give me the water pouch. Have you forgotten?"

Su Tang shook her head with a smile, "You misunderstood, I said I’d ’consider’ exchanging."

"After you told me, I considered it and found the information to be valuable, so I decided to exchange.

It doesn’t mean you can trade your information for my water pouch. Do you understand now?"

The leading Beast Soldier was left feeling like he had been split open!

She had been so clear. How could he have misunderstood?

He did not expect the seemingly innocent and harmless little female to outwit him with words.

Unconsciously, the scene where she called them ’stupid’ flashed through his mind.

Could it be because he was really too stupid?

The leading Beast Soldier fell into deep self-doubt.

Su Tang grinned.

"It seems you understand now. Then let’s discuss the conditions for the water pouch exchange."

The leading Beast Soldier perked up his ears, eyes fixed on Su Tang, afraid to be duped again.
