Chapter 1020: Chapter 1018: So-Called Respect for Elders and Love for the Young
Seeing Old Mr. Bai with his glowing face, squatting unceremoniously beside her, Wufu raised an eyebrow and said, "Old man, taking without asking is... your style is blatant robbery!"
The old man with the white beard sniffed the strong aroma of the wine, glanced at her, "You little brat... Do you even know what respecting the elderly means?"
A little girl in disguise, thinking that just wearing menâs clothes makes you an actual man?
A hum sounded in her ear, Wufuâs eyes flashed, she looked around, no one was looking over, she couldnât help but turn to the old man. Is this that secret sound in the ear thing?
The old man with the white beard hummed smugly, glanced at her sideways, with a look that said if she was smart, he wouldnât expose her.
Wufu laughed angrily, was she supposed to be scared of this?
Taking advantage of the old manâs smugness, Wufu swiftly snatched the wine flask and took a quick swig, the whole action was fluid and seamless.
The old man was momentarily unresponsive, and by the time he came to his senses, Wufu had already taken a sip of the wine, immediately looking as if a chunk of flesh had been cut from him, heartache filling his eyes.
He wanted to snatch it back, but Wufu hid the wine flask at her side, it wasnât easy to grab anymore. After all, he was a man, already quite old, how could he take advantage of a little girl?
"Respect the elderly, do you get that?" The old man had to say resentfully.
Wufu smiled, "Then do you understand taking care of the young? Earlier, werenât you trying to trouble me, the junior, and now youâre trying to snatch my wine, whereâs your face?"
"You! Humph!" The old man crossed his arms and sat on the ground grumpily.
Ah Jiu nudged Wufuâs arm.
Wufuâs eyes rolled, saying, "Itâs not that I canât give it to you."
The old man immediately looked happy, reaching out his hand.
Wufu held up the wine flask and said, "This is the only flask we brought in, you see its preciousness, I really canât bear to part with it."
"Fine, youâre just asking for a favor, right, go on then!" The old man snorted.
Wufu moved a bit closer, blinked, and said, "You know how terrifying Cloud Realm is, right? On this journey, we killed a giant snake, waded through crocodile swarms, not mentioning all sorts of other poisons and injuries, to summarize, we took a trip through Hellâs Gate to get here."
"So, old-timer, where are the good things on each floor? Could you point us in the right direction?"
The old man laughed, "Calling me old man every other sentence when thereâs nothing, now with a request, calling me old-timer."
"Isnât this the respect you demanded?" Wufu shook the wine flask.
The old man snatched it away, saying, "Cultivation techniques are on the fifth floor, ninth row, you little brat, go to the sixth floor." With that, he grabbed the wine flask and darted away.
Wufuâs mouth twitched slightly.
"Forget it, just a flask of wine." Ah Jiu chuckled.
Wufu said, "I know." And then asked, "Who is this old man?"
"Rumor has it that Cloud Tower is guarded by top experts from Cloud Fort, perhaps heâs something like a protector?" Tie Hanyang laughed, "Xiao Five really is fearless and ignorant. If you anger him, we wouldnât even know if we could save you."
Wufu blinked, "Cloud Fort should have some dignity, surely they wouldnât wipe us out here to use as plant fertilizer."
Tie Hanyang and the others said nothing, laughing. In the face of a powerhouse, being wiped out is just that, who knows what might happen?
Wufu also knew she was talking nonsense, rubbed her nose, stood up, and said, "Once weâre done eating, letâs each find some treasure."
