Chapter 249 Bathhouse
"Not selling?"
"Of course."
"Are you sure? I can pay a lot of money. How much do you want? Name your price."
"Haha, that's not what I meant for now."
"You...you're not making fun of me, are you?"
"Hey, don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand. I treat everyone the same. If you don't believe me, go ask your friends."
"you........."
Watching the young nobleman who was unwilling to leave, Osian gave a meaningful smile.
Of course, he couldn't refuse to sell, but he already had a target in mind.
The target is the current Second Prince, Young Master Ji Jia.
Through his intelligence network, he learned that the second prince was extremely cruel and also enjoyed slave gladiatorial combat, which made his mind race.
If things had gone through the normal process, this crocodile could have fetched an astronomical price. But even if it sold for a high price, it would still just be money. Now that he's in this position, Osian needs more than just money.
If a large crocodile could bring him a smooth career path, Osian would undoubtedly be extremely happy. Therefore, Osian conceived the idea of giving the large crocodile to Jiga.
Of course, this matter is easy to think about but a bit complicated to do, because with his current status, it is still difficult to see Jiga, not to mention that Jiga's residence has recently become extremely secure for some reason, making it even more difficult to see him.
But this did not stump Osian. Since you won't come out, he will first create momentum among the noble children. If he can't see them, those noble children might.
Whenever a nobleman's son mentions this matter in casual conversation, it will surely pique Gija's interest, and the gift will simply be a natural progression.
"It's about time."
Osian thought about his recent spread and decided to send a few people to the palace to test the waters, hoping that Jiga might already know about it.
Without hesitation, Osian immediately summoned his steward, preparing to have him send someone to the palace to communicate.
After finalizing everything, Osian smiled with relief.
I hope everything goes well.

Taking a bath is something that every commoner in the Sand City can't live without. There are bathhouses of all sizes in the city, but the most famous one has to be the Adelie Bathhouse.
A vast area, luxurious decorations, top-notch service, and an extravagant experience.
Taking a bath here is something your neighbors will envy, since the prices here aren't cheap.
Fortunately, Lin Tian could afford the money; after all, as the lord of a city, he could be considered a very wealthy man.
"The three of you, right?"
"Pay here."
After paying, Lin Tian led his two men into the bathhouse.
Wearing equipment is not allowed inside the bathhouse; whether it's weapons or heavy armor, you must change into a yukata (light robe).
Lin Tian didn't care about this. He had system space reserves, so these things couldn't stump him. After changing his clothes, he prepared to enter the bathhouse.
The bathhouse is divided into outdoor and indoor baths. The outdoor bath is like a large public bathhouse where a lot of people soak together. Since the water is specially treated, there is no need to worry too much about hygiene.
However, Lin Tian didn't come here for a bath; he had another purpose.
"Lord Osian, please come in!"
Upon seeing the target appear, a cold glint flashed in Lin Tian's eyes, but he didn't stare at him for long. Instead, he observed Osian out of the corner of his eye.
He looked relaxed, and even seemed a little happy. Even from a distance, you could feel his joy and the little tune he was humming.
He is currently heading to the inner bathhouse, which is exclusively for the wealthy. Each bathhouse is a private space, making it far more upscale and luxurious than the outer bathhouse.
Beside him were several men who looked like guards. Lin Tian glanced at them, but most of them didn't catch his attention. Only the big guy made Lin Tian take a second look.
It's no wonder Lin Tian thinks that way, because this big guy is indeed an anomaly in this bathhouse. Only Lin Tian and his monsters can reach a height of over three meters. But even outside, Lin Tian usually doesn't let them transform to such a height, since it's just too eye-catching.
However, perhaps because he had been staring at it for too long, the big guy suddenly seemed to sense something and abruptly looked in Lin Tian's direction.
Seeing this, Lin Tian quickly pretended to be an ordinary person, looking left and right, and occasionally humming a little tune, acting like a country bumpkin who was visiting for the first time.
Shh~shh~shhh~
Fortunately, the big guy only sensed something but couldn't lock onto Lin Tian, so after looking at him for a while, he turned his head back.
Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but what he didn't expect was that while the big guy stopped watching him, another person started watching him instead.
Thud~
As soon as the sound of something falling rang out, Lin Tian instinctively looked over and saw something that looked like a bar of soap. Before Lin Tian could figure out what was going on, a voice beside him asked:
"Excuse me, could you help me pick that up?"
He was a slightly overweight man, wearing only a bath towel, and looked as if he had just come out of a hot spring, his body still radiating heat.
After saying that, he stared straight at Lin Tian with a strange smile on his face, and Lin Tian seemed to be able to see the desire hidden in his eyes.
Holy crap, a man...
That malicious gaze immediately conjured up unpleasant images in Lin Tian's mind, instantly making his hair stand on end. Although he was in this warm bathhouse, he felt incredibly cold.
Seeing this, the slightly chubby man laughed even harder. He didn't urge Lin Tian, but just stared at him with lustful eyes. However, instead of Lin Tian, he received an arm that was put on his shoulder.
slap~
A thick arm draped over his shoulder. The soap that had been lying on the ground had somehow been picked up. The man hooked his arm around his shoulder, handed the soap to him, and then said with a wicked grin:
"Brother, I've picked up the soap for you."
"What? Do you want to talk to me?"
"I........."
Looking at this guy with a perfect physique, the slightly chubby man's heart skipped a beat. He had originally intended to refuse, since his original target was Lin Tian, but seeing this guy, he seemed rather appealing...
It should be quite big.
"Then we'll..."
However, before the slightly overweight man could finish speaking, he saw the arm draped over his shoulder suddenly tighten, as if it were performing a fat-reduction surgery on him. Within seconds or two, he screamed in pain.
"Hey, bro, I was wrong! I'm done talking, I'm done talking, please let me go."
"What's wrong?"
"I shouldn't have been staring at you guys like that... Ouch!"
Looking at the slightly chubby man who was being pinched and crying out, Lin Tian actually showed a hint of pity.
Sigh, he's just a young man pursuing love. Back when I first confessed my feelings to someone, I wasn't as brave as them. That time...
As Lin Tian recalled past events, just as he was contemplating whether to let the slightly overweight man go, another bar of soap suddenly slipped to his feet.
“Hey! Sir…”
"roll."
