Chapter 1647: Water Demon Ape
“I see...” Ye Qing said, “Normally, we would heed your advice and wait a couple of days, Elder Bai, but we urgently need to cross the river. We cannot afford even a few days of delay, so can you please help us, Elder Bai?”
“Hmm...” Bai Ai hesitated for a moment before answering, “Very well. I can ferry you across the river, but if we run into that three-eyed ape on the way, I may not be able to protect you two. It is not my fault if any harm were to fall on you. Do you agree?”
Ye Qing replied smilingly, “No problem. We can protect yourselves.”
Bai Ai hesitated again before adding, “Also, I want another three jars of the wine you offered me earlier if I safely ferry you to the shore. If not, then I would rather not take on this task.”
It’s a pretty honest bull all things considered.
So far, Ye Qing had a very good impression of this bull. It was better, purer, more honest and good than most humans. It did not look or feel like your average cunning and cruel Stranger at all.
While thinking, Ye Qing produced three jars of Buddhist Heart Brew and tossed it in the Unihorn White Bull’s direction.
The white bull looked at the Buddhist Heart Brew with a puzzled expression, “What are you doing?” Ye Qing smiled. “Paying you your reward? You can have them whether or not you successfully deliver us to the other side of the river.”
Bai Ai asked curiously, “Aren’t you afraid that I would just leave after I take your wine?” Ye Qing replied simply, “I trust you, Elder Bai.”
“You’re an interesting human.”
Bai Ai gave Ye Qing a few looks before replying, “Come on up. I will take you across the river. If we are unfortunate enough to run into that three-eyed ape, I promise I will do everything I can to protect you.” Bai Ai opened its mouth and swallowed the three jars of wine after saying that.
“Hahaha... I thank you in advance, Elder Bai.” Ye Qing saluted the bull before jumping onto Bai Ai’s back together with Feng Qingyou. Then, they sat down in a meditative position.
