Chapter 14 Give Me Half
Chapter 14 Give Me Half
"Your summoned beast is truly amazing!" Jiang Shaoxu's mouth went dry as he watched. A level two spatial mage was now completely powerless to resist.
Xiao Qing is getting stronger and stronger; now she can tear the earth apart with just a wave of her hand.
With two other people watching him intently, Li Wei knew he was unlikely to escape, so he simply stopped attacking, reduced the range of his mind control, and focused on protecting his own body.
He lost, lost to a little kid. Although he was unwilling, he had to admit that he had lost.
Li Wei doesn't care about the dignity of a magician. If he loses, he surrenders. He won't be stupid enough to fight to the death. Why fight if you can live?
Moreover, Li Wei was quite old and experienced; he could tell that Su Ming only wanted the treasures and resources he had obtained in exchange.
Why not give it to him? It's just an external possession.
Li Wei struggled to hold on for a while, only to find that the summoned beast was still attacking, its offensive showing no signs of abating. Wind blades howled as they struck the spatial barrier, trying to devour him completely. Li Wei was beginning to feel the strain from the continuous attacks.
He let out a muffled groan, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"I'll give it all to you, just make this summoned beast stop!!!! I'm out of mana!" Li Wei shouted, looking slightly panicked.
Su Ming looked at Jiang Shaoxu. He didn't know if what Li Wei said was true. He didn't have a specific idea of how much magic energy a level 2 initial stage space system possessed.
"Why are you looking at me? I'm not a space-related expert, I wouldn't know."
"You take the demon-slaying tool. If things get bad, kill him." Su Ming's voice was loud, making sure Li Wei could hear him.
Jiang Shaoxu nodded, and Su Ming told Xiaoqing to stop.
There were still vortexes of wind in the space, and transparent blades formed by the wind. They remained in the air, waiting for the call of the Wind Queen, Xiaoqing.
Although the roads in the old town are not as smooth as those outside, there are no large vehicles inside, and it is mostly elderly people who take walks on the roads every day, so the roads are very well preserved.
But now the road has been completely cut up, and there is not a single intact piece of cement ground around Li Wei; it has all been cut open.
Ring ring ring...
Little Qing flew quickly to Su Ming's shoulder and chirped, as if asking how it went.
"Well done." Su Ming praised Xiao Qing, patting her head, which made Xiao Qing fly around him twice.
"Give me the spatial ring, and I'll sever your connection to it while I'm at it." Su Ming stretched out his hand, as if he were asking for his own things back, speaking with righteous indignation.
Li Wei was somewhat reluctant, but seeing that Jiang Shaoxu was ready to activate the magic tool at any moment, he had no choice but to do so.
He took off the ring and threw it directly at him; Su Ming didn't want to be too close to him, and he could tell.
In reality, even if he were to come into close contact, there was nothing he could do. His magical energy was so depleted that he was dizzy and only managed to stay upright by sheer willpower.
When I opened it, wow, there were quite a few good things.
"Should we return these things to their rightful owner?" Jiang Shaoxu asked.
"Forget it, it's all mine. Besides, I didn't steal it. Why should I take it if it's a gift from someone?" Su Ming flipped his hand, avoiding Jiang Shaoxu's hand, and put the ring away.
"Then give me half." Seeing that Su Ming didn't want to return it to its rightful owner, Jiang Shaoxu prepared to take some benefits.
"No, you didn't contribute anything, and you don't need these things. Isn't your family very rich? In that case, they're all mine."
"Money is money, but who has too much magical resources? Besides, without my magical tools, how can you intimidate him? I need half of it for both reason and emotion."
Su Ming was very firm in his stance, wanting to monopolize the resources, while Jiang Shaoxu was equally firm, insisting on taking half of them.
Su Ming is already quite powerful; he already possesses a summoned beast, and this summoned beast is incredibly strong. If he were to obtain even more resources, he could raise his magic level by one stage.
Learning spatial magic allows you to quickly increase your magic level.
Jiang Shaoxu didn't want to fall too far behind Su Ming.
Li Wei stood awkwardly at a distance, watching the two of them argue over their things, and his heart ached.
These were all earned through his hard work, and he lost so many lollipops for them, and they were just taken away like that.
Li Wei shook his head. These two people no longer cared about him. Let's go, let's go.
I'll just consider it a loss I had to swallow.
Li Wei moved backward, preparing to leave.
Suddenly, without warning, a lifeless sound rang out, as if it were coming from a dead person.
"So it was you, Little Li. It seems your magic has finally returned."
Li Wei's expression changed, and he looked at the old man behind him with fear and trepidation. He stood obediently in place, without the slightest thought of running away.
"Grandpa Liu," Li Wei called out respectfully, a few beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.
"Um."
Grandpa Liu responded with a sound from his nose, then, holding his cane, he limped into the darkness.
Seeing this, Li Wei quickly followed, placing his hand in front of him like a child who had done something wrong.
……
Su Ming's ears twitched, and he glanced into the darkness out of the corner of his eye.
Li Wei has disappeared, as expected.
He wasn't going to arrest Li Wei; he wouldn't do something without a benefit. As for whether Li Wei would steal from other people, that was beyond his control.
"He ran away?" Jiang Shaoxu stopped arguing and asked.
"Yes, they should have been taken away. I think I saw Grandpa Liu just now."
"That's normal. Grandpa Liu is the oldest person here. If the thief is from here, he must know Grandpa Liu. He's Grandpa Liu's junior."
Su Ming hesitated for a moment, then asked, "This Grandpa Liu... was he a mage before?"
There's a long-standing legend in the old town of Zhoucheng that a highly respected old monk lived there. Could it be this Grandpa Liu?
"I don't know. This is how I remember Grandpa Liu. He's still the same after all these years." Jiang Shaoxu shook her head, not wanting to talk about it anymore.
"Give me half of what you have." Jiang Shaoxu said viciously, changing the tone abruptly.
"I'll owe you for now. There's too much stuff to assess its value in a short time. I'll give you your share once I've sorted it out."
Su Ming first fooled Jiang Shaoxu, and once he got the item, he wouldn't hand it over. Even if Jiang Shaoxu came to ask for it back after he finished using it, he wouldn't get it.
It doesn't seem right to swallow it all, but I want these resources now, and I'll buy some nice things to make up for it when I have more money later.
Jiang Shaoxu agreed; she felt more at ease leaving the business in Su Ming's hands.
She was in a great mood after finding the soul-repairing vessel, and she even skipped around when she walked.
Seeing this, Su Ming felt a surge of excitement and decided that after returning, he would start to control the space-type star. Being rejected by the proud star was a good way to suppress his restless heart.
Once you leave the old town, the Marriott Hotel is not far away. When you come here, it doesn't feel like a few kilometers is far at all, but on the way back, a few kilometers will kill you.
Fortunately, once you leave the old town, the streets are bustling and taxis are everywhere.
"Driver, to the Marriott Hotel."
"Driver, to Mingyue Residential Area."
The two said in unison as they got into the car.
The two exchanged a glance, neither intending to back down.
Su Ming didn't care. He figured it was fine to go to the Marriott Hotel; he could just have his master take him back later. Right now, he was just imagining the dazzling sight of himself after learning spatial magic.
Jiang Shaoxu, however, believed that Su Ming was just being stubborn and angry that she had taken half of the resources from him.
"Go to the Marriott Hotel and ignore him," Jiang Shaoxu said firmly.
The driver didn't start the engine. He looked at Su Ming, thinking that since the two were a couple, Su Ming would definitely pay. Besides, Mingyue Community was farther away and more profitable, so he preferred to drive to Mingyue Community.
"Then let's go to the Marriott Hotel first." Su Ming was lost in his own world when Jiang Shaoxu nudged him before he spoke.
The driver wanted to chat with Su Ming on the way, but he didn't respond. It wasn't appropriate for Jiang Shaoxu, a girl, to talk to him when her boyfriend was with her.
He'd been a driver for decades, and there were times when he couldn't find anyone to talk to.
The Marriott Hotel wasn't far; we arrived quickly.
Amid the driver's surprised gaze, Jiang Shaoxu got out of the car alone, while Su Ming remained inside.
"Let's go to Mingyue Residential Area again," Su Ming said.
Only after being reminded did the driver quickly start the car, secretly giving Su Ming a thumbs up.
With such a mindset, one is destined for great things.
Clearly, the driver had the wrong idea.
When I got home, the house was completely dark.
My dad is still out delivering goods and hasn't come back yet.
It must have been tough. Su Ming sat down on the bed as soon as he got home. His father had worked so hard, he couldn't slack off. He couldn't earn money right now.
But he can cultivate, and once he becomes a powerful magician, he won't lack money.
Then Dad wouldn't have to work so hard.
Su Ming took out the Soul Cultivation Vessel and placed it in front of him. A few minutes later, the Soul Cultivation Vessel floated in front of Su Ming's chest, and he began the path of controlling the space system's star particles.
