Huanhuan said slowly, “Peel off the skin of the golden horse toad and soak it in sand kernel water for a day. Then, take out the skin of the toad and dry it. After that, you can grind it into powder. That’s how you make Toad Skin Powder.”

Jiang Bo was in disbelief. “It’s that simple?”

Huanhuan asked, “Don’t you know how to make Toad Skin Powder? It’s indeed very simple.”

The city lord of Blue Crystal City immediately asked, “Jiang Bo, is that really how you make Toad Skin Powder?”

Jiang Bo didn’t know how to make Toad Skin Powder, but he didn’t want to show weakness in front of Huanhuan. He could only bite the bullet and say, “There’s more than one way to make Toad Skin Powder. I’ve never heard of the method she mentioned.”

Huanhuan smiled and said, “It’s easy to know if I’m wrong. You can just follow my method. If the medicine you make in the end works, it means that my formula is right.”

The others nodded, indicating that this was a very simple and effective method.

Huanhuan smiled and asked, “Son, you just said that there’s more than one way to make Toad Skin Powder. Can you tell us about the other way to make it? It’ll broaden my horizons.”

Jiang Bo gritted his teeth. “Can you stop calling yourself my dad?!”

“But I am your father!”

“When did you become my father? Don’t talk nonsense!”

Huanhuan’s heart ached. “You called me ‘Daddy’ three times in front of so many people the last time. I didn’t expect you to forget in the blink of an eye. You’re too heartless!”

Jiang Bo was so angry that his face and neck turned red. “I called you that last time because I lost the bet. I was admitting defeat!”

“How about this? Let’s make another bet on how to make Toad Skin Powder. I’ve just given you the formula for it. Tell me another formula. If your formula is better, I’ll kneel down and apologize to you immediately. But if my formula is better, you’ll have to call me ‘Daddy’ whenever you see me in the future.”

Jiang Bo avoided her gaze. “Why should I agree to your unreasonable bet?”

Huanhuan said righteously, “Because I want you to obediently call me ‘Daddy’ in the future.”

Jiang Bo: “…”

Logic told him not to be angry, but he was still so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

He couldn’t help but retort, “It might not be me who loses. Maybe you’ll lose!”

“If I lose, I’ll kneel down and apologize to you!”

“You said it!”

“That’s right. Everyone present can testify!”

The city lord of Blue Crystal City secretly tugged on Jiang Bo’s sleeve, but he ignored him. At this moment, Jiang Bo was so angry that he had lost his rationality. He opened his mouth and agreed. “Alright, I’ll bet with you!”

Huanhuan smiled slyly. “Don’t go back on your word!”

When Jiang Bo saw her smile, he immediately calmed down. He couldn’t help but blame himself for being too impulsive and agreeing to make a bet with her.

He had to think of a way to fool them.

Unfortunately, Huanhuan did not give him a chance to think. She opened her mouth and urged, “Hurry up and tell me your formula. I’ll get someone to help make Toad Skin Powder according to your methods.”

Jiang Bo didn’t know the formula at all. He was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, but he still forced himself to look calm. “What’s the hurry? I haven’t made Toad Skin Powder in a long time. I don’t remember the exact formula. Let me think about it for a while.”

“Alright, take your time to think about it.” Huanhuan took out a handful of stir-fried sunflower seeds and continued to eat.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Everyone looked at Jiang Bo, waiting for him to say the formula.

Cold sweat broke out on Jiang Bo’s face.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

These sunflower seeds were so fragrant!

Jiang Bo couldn’t help but say, “Can you stop eating? It’s so noisy that I can’t think.”

Huanhuan said while munching on sunflower seeds, “If you think I’m noisy, you can block your ears. No one tied your hands.”

“You!”

At this moment, cracking sounds came from Huanhuan’s direction once more.

Jiang Bo wished he could rush up and strangle this sharp-tongued female. Every time he met her, he would embarra.s.s himself!

Was she his nemesis?!

Under everyone’s silent gazes, Jiang Bo held himself back for a long time. In the end, he couldn’t endure it anymore. He could only find an excuse. “I really don’t remember.”

Huanhuan spat out the sunflower seeds. “That means you’ve lost.”

Jiang Bo clenched his fists. “I lost.”

“Quick, call me ‘Daddy’~”

Jiang Bo gritted his teeth. “Daddy.”

Huanhuan smiled until her eyes were in crescents. “Not bad, not bad. What an obedient son.”

After the meeting ended, Jiang Bo was the first to leave the tent. The city lord of Blue Crystal City walked behind him.

After they were far away, the city lord of Blue Crystal City lowered his voice and said, “You know that female is difficult to deal with, so why did you still argue with her? Now, not only have you lost your dignity, but you’ve also lost everything.”

Jiang Bo’s expression was extremely ugly. “She deliberately angered me. She deliberately wanted to make a fool of me!”

The city lord asked, “Why did you do as she wanted when you knew she did it on purpose?”

“I was so angry!”

The city lord shook his head and sighed. “You’re too stubborn. She must have noticed this too, which is why she provoked you time and again. However, you fell for it every time. You’d better stay away from her in the future. Don’t be fooled by her again.”

Jiang Bo was indignant, but he couldn’t think of a solution for the time being. He could only suppress his anger.

The city lord patted his shoulder. “Take it easy. When we rise to a medium-level beast city, I’ll help you deal with her.”

…

The beast soldiers successfully made Toad Skin Powder according to the formula provided by Huanhuan.

They caught a few preys to experiment. Toad Skin Powder was indeed useful. They only needed a little powder to make an adult wild ox fall to the ground and not get up. Its entire body was numb, and the effect could usually last for half a day.

With this medicine, they were not afraid of the demons self-destructing again.

The city lords of Black Crystal City and Blue Crystal City couldn’t hold themselves back anymore. They immediately gathered their men and prepared to launch a sneak attack on the demon camp tonight and capture a few prisoners.

Shuang Yun felt that time was too tight and advised them to wait.

Unfortunately, the two city lords were eager to win. They only wanted to complete the missions quickly and obtain the right to upgrade to a medium-level beast city. They ignored Shuang Yun’s advice.

That night, the two city lords left the camp with their two elite teams composed of soul beasts.

In the pitch-black night, the beast soldiers sneaked across the Black River and headed for the demon camp.

Unexpectedly, before they could reach the camp, many fully armed demon beasts suddenly appeared around them.

The raiding party was surrounded.

Under the leaders.h.i.+p of the two city lords, the beast soldiers fought their way out of the encirclement and crossed the Black River to return to the camp.

In this battle, almost all the 100 beast soldiers they brought with them were killed.
