Chapter 2196 - 2197: Got a Smoke?

He asked Ling Zhenfei, who was sitting next to him, "Brother, do you have any cigarettes?"

Ling Zhenfei was a smoker, but not a frequent one. He smoked for a while when he was in school, and sometimes lit one up under work pressure.

However, since starting his own business, he smoked less; a pack could last him a month.

Now that the man asked for it, Ling Zhenfei still had some in his Di Tian Shen Sui.

He quickly took out half a pack of cigarettes, and each lit one up.

The man took a puff and said, "Ah, this is nice, really comfortable. It's been a long time since I've smoked."

Ling Zhenfei saw that this man had something on his mind and said, "Brother, what's troubling you?"

The man nodded and said, "Yeah, I originally thought I'd be here for a few days and then go back, but it seems now I can't go back anytime soon."

This time in the Foreign Land has indeed been longer. In the past, because there was no clear goal, some people would return after a few days.

But this time, the very specific goal is the Heavenly God Sword, so it takes much longer.

Ling Zhenfei said, "It looks like it will be a while before we can go back."

The man took a deep puff and said,"It seems I won't be able to see my child's birth."

Ling Zhenfei said in response: "So there's happy news at home, that's nice, very nice."

Although Ling Zhenfei said 'nice', he felt a bit of melancholy inside.

This war leads to death. Many cultivators have died in battle in the Foreign Land, and whose family doesn't have loved ones? Perhaps there are wives awaiting childbirth, children yearning for their father's return, and sick parents at home.

But all of this has become unreachable now. After this battle, the human cultivators will certainly be greatly affected, and the Foreign Land Space will also suffer heavy losses.

Every twenty years is a cycle, and such things happened in the last twenty-year period as well.

They started chatting, puffing one cigarette after another.

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei suddenly heard a vibration from the car beside them.

Ling Zhenfei felt it as someone was banging on the car with force.

Ling Zhenfei was dumbfounded at once. Why would someone knock on a car in the middle of the night?

Ling Zhenfei asked the man next to him, "What's inside? I felt the car move."

The man stood up, went towards the tightly covered car, and banged on it twice, angrily saying, "Behave, or I'll deal with you."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback after hearing this and asked the man, "Brother, what is inside here?"

The man asked Ling Zhenfei peculiarly, "You don't even know what's inside?"

It seemed this man was suspicious of Ling Zhenfei, so Ling Zhenfei hurriedly said, "Brother, I've been dedicated to spying, bringing intelligence from the front. It's normal I don't know this thing?"

As he spoke, Ling Zhenfei stuffed half a pack of cigarettes into the man's hand, saying, "Tell me what's inside, can it even understand what you're saying?"

Looking at the half pack of cigarettes in his hand, the man said, "So you are a scout from the front, no wonder I've never seen you. You want to know what's inside? Come with me."

Speaking this, he led Ling Zhenfei to the other side of the car, where there was a door.

The man looked around to ensure no one noticed them, then opened the door for Ling Zhenfei.

Inside, there was another layer, vertical bars forming a gate, through which one could see inside.

Ling Zhenfei peered inside and saw that there was actually a Minotaur within.

The Minotaur was huge, squeezed in the small car, unable even to stand, so it kept angrily banging on the car.

Ling Zhenfei took just two glances before the man closed the car.

"Seen enough?" Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "I know, I know our Palace Master caught some foreign race creatures, planning to take them back and start a zoo, making money."

The man laughed and said, "Fool, do you think the Palace Master lacks money? I'll tell you this creature is not ordinary, this creature is an important figure from the Minotaur Tribe, very important."

After hearing this, Ling Zhenfei felt something wasn't right. This man turned out to be an important figure from the Minotaur Tribe, so does it mean the surrounding cars contain foreign race individuals?

Ling Zhenfei said, "So you're saying the surrounding cars contain important Minotaur figures too."

The man laughed and said, "Your brain's so rigid, why catch so many important Minotaur figures? One is enough.

The other cars are holding important figures from other races, all caught on our way here, to be used when we attack the Supreme Divine Palace, very important.

Ling Zhenfei understood and finally figured out the situation. The Master of Li Hen Palace caught important foreign race figures, preparing to use them as bargaining chips in negotiations when faced with the Supreme Divine Palace.

These Li Hen Palace people really are ruthless, thinking up such ideas.

The two sat down again, but Ling Zhenfei's heart remained unsettled, and he suddenly thought of the Elf Princess Alice.

Could there be Elves inside these cars? What should I do if there are Elves?

Thinking of this, Ling Zhenfei tried to probe inside using his power of the soul, yet the materials of the car compartment were unknown, rendering his soul power and Divine Sense useless.

Ling Zhenfei knew there was certainly some sort of restriction placed on this car compartment, which was troublesome.

However, Ling Zhenfei was extremely curious about what's inside, it seemed he could only extract information from this guy.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Brother, you look like an honest person, I feel a real connection with you, why don't we have a drink tonight?"

The man replied, "No, we can't. The Palace Master doesn't allow us to drink."

Ling Zhenfei said, "What's there to fear, the Palace Master is far from us, he can't control us.

Moreover, smoking and drinking always go together, if we can smoke, why not have a drink? We just enjoy a little, won't drink too much."

As he spoke, Ling Zhenfei took out his wine, Fairy Intoxication,

This wine had a quite high alcohol content, but any Old Drunkard loves its taste.

When Ling Zhenfei took out the wine, the man hesitated, but when Ling Zhenfei brought out the food, the man's eyes lit up.

Having been in the Foreign Land for so long, they've eaten everything, and even what they'd prepared didn't last. Now there's smoke, wine, and food, it's wonderful.

This food was actually some marinated beef, which Ling Zhenfei had prepared earlier, but Ling Zhenfei didn't like eating cold food, so he didn't bring it out.

Now there's no choice but to make do if Ling Zhenfei could cook a meal for this man, I bet the man would give anything Ling Zhenfei asked for.
