224 Why Could He Be Sweating?

On the way back, Dong Xi also went to the shop that he always went to and ate a bowl of smoothie. Dong Xi saw the boss standing by the counter, looking at the jade slip with a cold expression and solemnly writing something.

However, just as she finished writing a line of words, fine sweat appeared on the boss’s forehead, blue veins popped out, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Dong Xi knew that this boss was very wrong.

The boss was an ice-type cultivator, how could he sweat? And he seemed to be very anxious.

Dong Xi did not know why, but after thinking about it, she took out an Ice Cold Pill and handed it to the boss.

Hong Wei was stunned when he saw the pill in the hands of the girl who often came here. She looked at the man and said, “Uncle, you seem to be very hot. This is a Ice Cold Pill, it’s for you.”

Hong Wei took the pill and looked at it with a complicated expression.

At this moment, someone walked into the shop and shouted, “Boss! A big bowl of smoothie.”

Hong Wei did not seem to hear him. His whole body seemed to be frozen, and his eyes were out of focus, as if his mind was wandering in space. The nearby customers called him again, but found that the boss was still sitting in the same place.

This customer was not a good-tempered person either. He walked up to the counter and slapped it.

“Are you deaf?” the guest shouted. “Then don’t open a shop! I’ve called you so many times, but you didn’t respond!”

Dong Xi looked over and saw the boss standing up.

The boss’s face was like shattered ice. When the customer saw the boss’s cold eyes, he was also frightened. He wanted to continue to curse, but he swallowed his words.

However, Hong Wei did not quarrel with the customer because of this. He said, “What do you want to eat?”

The guest stammered, “Big… A big bowl of smoothie.”

Dong Xi saw that the two of them did not get into a conflict, so she lowered her head and started eating the smoothie again.

Although Dong Xi was not afraid of being provoked, eating a large bowl of delicious smoothies in the summer would still be very refreshing, as if she had been reborn.

After eating, Dong Xi was just about to leave when he noticed that the spiritual Qi around the boss behind the counter was a little off.

This was the downtown area. Dong Xi took out a jade slip to contact the county guards and wanted to run away.

But at this moment, he heard the boss’s anxious voice.

“I can’t write anymore,” Wei Nan said. “I’m useless. 9,999, what’s next?”

When Dong Xi, who was about to run away, heard this, she stopped, her face full of question marks.

What? This uncle was a math enthusiast?

Dong Xi retracted her outstretched foot. After thinking for a moment, she turned around and walked toward the boss.

Dong Xi might not be able to do it in a fight, but in mathematics, Dong Xi was a young girl who had been beaten up by three years of college entrance examination simulations. She was confident in this.

“Uncle,” Dong Xi said.

Hong Wei’s mind was in a mess. He was thinking about what came after 9,999, and at the same time, he wondered why he was so useless. He did not even know what came after 9,999.

Dong Xi’s sudden shout was like the creation of the world, clearing up Hong Wei’s chaotic mind.

Hong Wei let go of his head and looked at the little girl in front of him. The smile on the little girl’s face was the same as when she bought smoothies.

Seeing Hong Wei raise his head, Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief. If he could raise his head, it meant that he could hear her voice. This way, he could still be saved. Dong Xi was afraid that the boss would be stuck at a dead end again, so she quickly said, “10,000! Uncle, after 9,999 is 10,000!”

When Hong Wei heard Dong Xi’s words, he was stunned and somewhat lost in thought. He muttered to himself, “10,000… 10,000…”

Dong Xi stood in front of Hong Wei and watched as he took out another empty jade slip. He wrote from the beginning as he recited, “One, two, three…”

Dong Xi also did not know what was going on with the boss. Although there was only one step between a genius and a madman, she had never seen anyone go crazy from counting. Soon, the guards of the county rushed over, but the boss was still focused on writing the numbers.

Dong Xi immediately stepped forward and took out the waist token that signified she was Ningtian Sect’s direct disciple. Dong Xi said, “This boss seems to have a particularly serious Mental Demon. I just noticed that the spiritual energy around him seemed to be a little violent, so I called you guys over.”

When these guards saw the waist token, their initial disdain immediately turned into respect.

“We’ll take him away immediately. We won’t disturb the other Fellow Daoists,” a guard said.

With that, the guards prepared to step forward immediately, but Dong Xi stretched out her hand to stop them. Dong Xi said, “Don’t be anxious. This Fellow Daoist seems to be carrying some treasure that can suppress the spiritual energy turbulence. He should know his own condition. Let’s take a look first.”
