Chapter 294 - 295: The Most Precious Treasure
Wang Cai was frantically digging at the bottom of the pit, and soon another layer of loose soil piled up outside the pit. Due to the excessive force, Wang Cai’s originally dark and shiny coat was also covered with traces of mud, making Wang Cai look rather disheveled.
However, after digging a few more feet deep and still coming up empty-handed, Wang Cai sensed something was off and turned to look at Mu Can, only to find Mu Can leaning on his long saber, looking at him with a half-smiling, half-serious expression, which made Wang Cai’s scalp tingle.
"Keep digging, why did you stop?" Mu Can asked as he saw Wang Cai pause.
"Woof! You little rascal, you really are something, daring to make a fool of Lord Wang Cai. Tell me the remaining locations, and let’s dig together."
Wang Cai wasn’t fooled; seeing Mu Can’s expression, he knew he had been tricked into a pit with nothing in it. Mu Can was just playing with him. Though Wang Cai knew he was being set up by Mu Can, he felt an irritating sensation of fury he couldn’t express—after all, if it hadn’t been for his own aggression towards Mu Can’s possessions, Mu Can’s schemes would be ineffectual against him.
"Keep dreaming, I told you, you big bad dog, the things I promised you are yours, but the things I dig up myself, you can’t snatch. If I catch you trying to steal again, forget about ever laying a hand on any treasure ever again," Mu Can sternly warned Wang Cai.
He knew that this dog harbored ill intentions beside him, merely coveting the Treasure Bead he had acquired and was constantly thinking about seizing any other treasures that might appear.
"Woof! I’ll listen to you then; you dig by yourself," Wang Cai watched Mu Can for a while and finally yielded under Mu Can’s firm gaze, compromising.
It wasn’t just Mu Can who understood Wang Cai; having dealt with Mu Can on numerous occasions, Wang Cai equally understood him.
