Shi Nian chattered nonstop, rolling word after word off her tongue.
Lu Xingzhi listened until his eyes glazed over.
He didn't know what "rolling" meant, but after being brainwashed by Shi Nian, he somehow... understood.
Seeing that Shi Nian was about to continue her speech, Lu Xingzhi hurriedly said: "Little Nian, little Nian, I got it."
"Now, do you still think that cultivating for nine hours is hard?" Shi Nian looked at him.
Lu Xingzhi was conflicted: "I still don't want to cultivate for nine hours."
Shi Nian was about to continue preaching her "roll king" quotes.
The next moment, she heard Lu Xingzhi say, "I don't like the number nine. It's asymmetrical. Let's cultivate for ten hours instead."
The full load of "roll king" quotes that Shi Nian had prepared was forcefully swallowed back down.
This move from the second senior brother is what's called a reverse haggling.
Nice!
