Richest Rag-picker

After Vajra and Er Gouzi arrived in the training room, they immediately ran toward Fang Chenyi.

However, it seemed the beating he took from Fang Chenyi last time had taught Vajra a lesson. This time, he didn't pounce on Fang Chenyi as he usually did. Instead, he just stood in front of him, baring his teeth.

Looking at the creature's mischievous grin, Fang Chenyi couldn't help but be amused. He asked,

"What have you been up to lately, you rascal? I haven't seen you in so long, I thought you'd stayed behind on the island."

As Fang Chenyi spoke, he noticed the creature was keeping one hand behind its back. He asked suspiciously, "What are you holding?"

Vajra grinned widely again and brought his hand out from behind his back, presenting a fish that had been roasted completely black.

Fang Chenyi stared at the roasted fish, stunned. He asked in surprise, "You roasted this yourself??"

Vajra immediately nodded his huge head emphatically, a proud look on his face. He then began whistling smugly.

At the same time, he kept insistently pushing the roasted fish toward Fang Chenyi. Apparently, he was urging Fang Chenyi to hurry up and eat it.

The creature's antics made Fang Chenyi laugh. He had to admit, he was even a little touched.

But looking at the scorched, blackened fish, Fang Chenyi just couldn't bring himself to take a bite. He smiled, waved his hand dismissively, and said,

"It's alright, it's alright. I just ate. Why don't you have it?"

The moment Fang Chenyi finished speaking, Vajra seemed to understand.

He immediately brought the fish to his own mouth, opened wide, and bit down with a loud CRUNCH.

Watching the creature take a huge bite—skin, bones, and all—and chew with great relish, Fang Chenyi, Qi Xiaotian, and the others couldn't help but cringe. 'That has to be painful.'

But their concern was clearly unnecessary. For a set of teeth like Vajra's, a few fish bones were nothing at all.

Seeing Vajra enjoying his meal with such gusto, Er Gouzi, on the floor below, was not having it. He immediately started jumping up and down, barking insistently.

Engrossed in his tasty meal, why would Vajra pay the dog any mind? He waved a hand impatiently, tore a tiny scrap from the fish's tail, and tossed it to Er Gouzi on the floor.

Er Gouzi's canine face filled with displeasure. He glanced at the tiny piece of fish on the floor but didn't even deign to give it a proper look. 'Is that all I get?' he was probably thinking. 'Lord Dog won't eat that.'

SMACK, SMACK...

The incessant smacking from Vajra's mouth filled the air. On the floor, Er Gouzi had already raised his head proudly, determined not to eat the piece of fish that was hardly bigger than a peanut.

But after a moment's thought, he lowered his head to sniff the piece of fish. 'Just a sniff,' he thought. 'I definitely won't eat it.' But the moment he caught the scent, drool began to trickle from his mouth.

'To hell with it! Small is small, but Lord Dog is eating first!'

As he gobbled down the morsel of fish, a look of pure satisfaction flashed across Er Gouzi's face. 'Mmm, that's delicious!'

The three men watched this comedic duo, their spirits lifted. Suddenly, as Qi Xiaotian watched Vajra gnawing on his fish, his eyes lit up.

'My skills are still worlds apart from Brother Fang's,' he thought, 'but I'm far stronger than Han Licheng and the others.'

'For the time being, it's really hard to find someone around my skill level to practice with, especially since Liu Yishou is still in South Africa.'

Just then, his eyes locked onto Vajra. 'This big fella might not have any real techniques, but there's no denying his incredible strength. I bet with my current power, I could probably fight him to a standstill.'

With this in mind, he turned to Fang Chenyi and said,

"Heh heh, Brother Fang, what do you think about me sparring a little with Vajra?"

Fang Chenyi paused, taken aback. He glanced from Qi Xiaotian to Vajra, who was still gnawing on his fish. He nodded thoughtfully. Come to think of it, those two might actually be a decent match for each other.

But it was obvious he wasn't going to get involved in Qi Xiaotian and Vajra's affairs. He simply jutted his chin toward Vajra and said,

"Go ask him yourself. If you want to fight, go for it. I've got no problem with it if he's willing."

With Brother Fang's approval, Xiaotian'er immediately stepped forward until he was standing in front of Vajra.

Vajra, still eating his roasted fish, became instantly wary at Qi Xiaotian's approach. He hastily stuffed the remaining half of the fish into his mouth, not forgetting to bare his teeth at the intruder.

This gesture made the three men laugh all over again.

Qi Xiaotian ignored the creature's comical display. Instead, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a piece of beef jerky, and dangled it in front of Vajra.

"Hey, Vajra. Want some?"

Vajra's eyes lit up with excitement at the sight of the beef jerky in Qi Xiaotian's hand, and an eager, fawning smile spread across his face.

His huge hands reached out to grab the beef jerky, but Qi Xiaotian swiftly dodged back. After evading Vajra's grasp, he once again waved the jerky at him.

Then, right under Vajra's watchful eyes, he put it back in his pocket and said,

"If you want to eat this, you have to fight me. If you win, I'll give it to you. And not just this time. In the future, whenever you want beef jerky, you can come find me. Every time you beat me, I'll give you a piece. How about it?"

It must be said that Vajra's intelligence was truly high. Thanks to that, and likely also due to the Celestial Gods technique Fang Chenyi had used on him before, Vajra understood everything Qi Xiaotian said.

After listening to Qi Xiaotian, the huge creature glanced at his relatively skinny frame and shot him a disdainful look.

To be fair, while Qi Xiaotian was well-built by human standards, he looked remarkably frail standing in front of the giant creature.

After a moment of scorn, however, Vajra's gaze fell back to the piece of beef jerky waving in Qi Xiaotian's hand.

Someone must have given him beef jerky before, because now the big fella craved it the moment he saw it; he had a particular weakness for the stuff.

Seeing Qi Xiaotian holding the beef jerky in his hand, the creature was on the verge of drooling.

Now that Qi Xiaotian was using beef jerky as bait, the creature didn't hesitate for a second. It nodded its huge head and charged directly at Qi Xiaotian.

At the same time, it spread its massive arms wide, moving to envelop Qi Xiaotian in a crushing hug.
