Chapter 168: Man Fish (Seventh Update)

  "Do you want this?" Kuba asked, taking down the bone pendant that hung around his neck.

  "Yes." Zhao Tiezhu nodded, in fact, he had already seen the bone card on Kubba's neck earlier, so he just borrowed words to stimulate him, otherwise he would have been stupid and offended everyone. As long as he could get Kubba's bone card, he would have 4 bone cards, according to Zhao Tiezhu's calculation, this should be the 12 zodiac bone cards!

  Kuba held the dominoes in his hand and said, "This is something left by our ancestors, I can't give it to you. Ask for something else."

  Zhao Tiezhu furrowed his brow and said: "The founder of your clan? That's gotta be many years ago!"

  "My Kunba clan has thrived on the land of LJ for thousands of years, and this bone card was passed down from that time." Kubba's face showed a hint of pride, after all, a nation with an unbroken tradition of thousands of years is rare in the entire Divine State.

  "This is going to be a problem." Zhao Tiezhu thought for a moment, reached into his pocket and pulled out a domino tile, saying "Do you recognize this?"

  "You too!" Kubo suddenly stood up, and then immediately sat back down after realizing he had overreacted.

  "I'll bet this domino with you, how about it? I'm sure your tribe's ancestors must have some legend about this domino." Zhao Tiezhu deliberately shifted the topic to the Kuba tribe's ancestral teachings, hoping to hear something about the domino. As expected, Kubba didn't realize that Zhao Tiezhu knew nothing about the domino and thought he was also referring to an heirloom, so he nodded and said in a low voice, "According to our tribe's ancestral teachings, there are 12 pieces of this domino, symbolizing the 12 zodiac signs of heaven and earth. It is said that they were passed down by Mr. Jiangziya during the Shang and Zhou dynasties and scattered throughout the country. However, no one knows what their specific use is."

  Zhao Tiezhu nodded, it seems that his guess was correct, there are indeed 12 pieces! If he collects all 12 pieces, will a dragon god or something appear? And then grant him three wishes? Zhao Tiezhu suddenly thought of the Seven Dragon Balls out of nowhere.

  "Right, my ancestor also said that if you can collect 12 pieces of bone tiles, you will get the love you want."

  Kuba said suddenly.

  "Love that I want?" Zhao Tiezhu pondered for a moment, could it be that after collecting 12 pieces of the puzzle, I'll have a harem of three thousand beauties, and everyone will live in harmony? If that's really the case, then I must collect all 12 pieces even if it kills me! Now I already have three pieces, which is one quarter of the total, and collecting them all doesn't seem like an impossible task.

  "If I bet this piece with you, if I lose, I'll give it to you. If I win, you give me yours. How about that?" Zhao Tiezhu said, like a monster luring little friends with a lollipop, "Think about it, if you win, you'll have two pieces!! You must have a woman you like? If you can collect all 12 pieces!! No, just get this piece from me and you win, then you and she will each have one piece, that's a couple's dominoes!!"

  Zhao Tiezhu's voice was like magic, and Kuba's face showed a hint of hesitation. Since ancient times, this piece of bone tile had always been an important symbol of the headman's inheritance. If he lost it, he would be blamed by the elders of the tribe, but if he won...! Kuba's eyes burned with excitement as he stared at the bone tile in Zhao Tiezhu's hand. If he won, he would be the first person in thousands of years to obtain the second piece of bone tile. His great achievements would be engraved on the stone tablet within the tribe and passed down for eternity!

  Kuba's gaze gradually firmed up and he said, "You swear that if you lose, you will give me this bone token and serve as a laborer in my clan for one year."

  "Alright, I swear!" Zhao Tiezhu made a show of raising his hand. "I, Zhao Tiezhu, swear on my honor and reputation that if I lose the upcoming duel to Kubba, I will give him the bone cards and serve as a laborer in his clan for one year."

  Su Yan Ni couldn't help but laugh at the side, looking at that Kubba, Zhao Tiezhu's reputation and character? You actually believe this? Then you really haven't read "The Killer Landlord" book ~ mourning for you.

  After Zhao Tiezhu finished his oath with a pretentious air, Kubba nodded and took an oath himself, "I swear in the name of the great god Kunba that if I lose the duel later, I will give my bone cards to Zhao Tiezhu and will not hold him accountable afterwards!"

  After the two of them finished making their vows, they looked at each other and smiled, both seeming very confident in themselves. However, Quan Shu was looking at Zhao Tiezhu with a bit of worry. The Kunba tribe had always been known for being fierce and skilled in battle, ranking among the top three in terms of combat strength among all the ethnic minorities in YN. Every single person within the tribe was a master who could take on multiple opponents at once. And the leader of the Kunba tribe was the most formidable one of them all. Why? Because the selection process for the leader of the Kunba tribe involved fighting, and only after several rounds would the final few candidates be chosen. For Quan Shu to have become the leader, his combat strength must be exceptional.

  "Tie Zhu, you're being impulsive, is that piece of bone tile really that important to you?" asked Quan Shu.

  "Yes, Uncle Quan, don't be nervous, I'm not nervous at all. What are you nervous about? At worst, we'll just get beaten up and thrown out." Zhao Tiezhu said with a smile.

  Lucy looked curiously at everything that happened, the ethnic costume on Kubba's body sparked her interest. As for Zhao Tiezhu and Kubba's duel, Lucy didn't even think about going to watch, who would win or lose, did it still need to be said?

  The train continued to move forward, and the child who was bitten by the BJ man also squeezed through the crowd and walked up to Zhao Tiezhu, bowed to Kouba beside him, and said, "Thank you, brother."

  Kuba's dark face revealed a row of white teeth as he smiled and said, "It's nothing."

  The child turned his head and looked at Zhao Tiezhu who was yawning, "Thank you, uncle."

  "What? What did you just call me?" Zhao Tiezhu stared at the little boy in surprise.

  "Uncle!"

  "You little brat, I'm just over 20 years old, you call Kubaguo brother, and call me uncle, do I have an old Kubaguo?"

  Kuba stroked his bald head and said, "You really look older than me." His expression was serious, as if stating a matter of course.

  "Uncle looks more mature." This kid is still quite eloquent.

  "Alright, what's your name then? Little brat?" Zhao Tiezhu asked, rubbing the child's face with his hand.

  "My name is Man Yu." The child looked at Zhao Tiezhu in horror as he continuously changed the gestures of his hands, as if his face had become a piece of clay.

  "Eel? The one that can generate electricity?" Zhao Tiezhu asked, his hands not stopping. "Dare to call me uncle, humph! Your skin is quite tender, isn't it."

  "The three-point water is a carp, and the fish is a crucian carp." The child took a step back, broke free from Zhao Tiezhu's grasp, and Zhao Tiezhu laughed and was about to grab the carp again. As a result, Su Yanni's hands were quicker, and she directly grabbed the carp into her arms.

  "Stop bullying others." Su Yanni said while hugging Man Yu.

  Zhao Tiezhu looked at Man Yu's entire body in Su Yanni's arms, and for a moment he was envious, jealous, and resentful. He shouted, "Hug me! Hug me!!"

  Su Yan Ni's face turned red, "You're a grown man, how can you let someone hug you?"

  "He's also a man, why can he?" Zhao Tiezhu looked at Man Yu with envy, then looked at Lucy with expectation, hoping she could uphold the spirit of internationalism and hug him too.

  "Others think Man Yu is a girl, but he's actually a boy. Where did your eyes go?"
