Chapter 011 - The Little Fox and the Tigress (Ⅰ)

There was a flash of golden light.

  A large bloody hand landed on the ground.

  Hai Ji slowly retracted her palm, and at the edge of her palm, light shone as if it was a golden blade.

  "Puff!" The strong man fainted in pain, blood spurting from his broken wrist, his right hand was cut off by Hai Ji.

  I shook my head, this burly man was unlucky enough to mess with anyone, but dared to mess with me. Hai big beautiful girl, you are really doing your duty, old me is very satisfied with you.

  The crowd looked at each other in disbelief for a long time before someone called out, "She's Hai Ji, the Chief Female Martial God of the Loxian Heavenly Vein Meridian Sea Palace!" The crowd immediately rioted.

  Another person yelled, "Goodness! That one in the white dao robe is Gan Lime Zhen! It's Gan Lime Zhen! Strange, why are they together?"

  Another whispered, "Shhh, keep it down, there's another one who looks like Hat Dan Mei, don't mess with this bad guy."

  We crossed the street and the crowd fell silent, automatically making a clear path. Holy shit, it was like the emperor was out on parade. It took a long time before the noise around us resumed, and the crowd was buying and selling while sneaking glances at us.

  I turned east and wandered west, the goods here are really novel, flying swords, herbs in human form, thin as cicada wings, animal skins, and demon's inner elixir ...... are all over the place, but it is a pity that I don't have the money to buy them. In front of a stall, I stopped.

  On the crumpled woolen blanket, there are many things arranged in a mess, among them, there is a purple copper octagonal box, the box holds an onyx bead, round, bright red in color, at a rough glance, it is very similar to the inner elixir of the dragon butterfly.

  I squatted down and curiously surveyed the agate bead. The seller, an old man in a Taoist robe, approached me and said mysteriously, "Buy it? This is the Dragon Butterfly Demon King's inner elixir, absolutely genuine, it's very tonic to eat."

  My inner elixir? I almost choked on a breath.

  The three big beauties looked at me, Hat Dan Mei and Hai Ji couldn't help but laugh delicately, and even the lone and cold Gan Lime Zhen flashed a hint of hidden laughter.

  The old man glanced at the beauties colorfully, and then turned his gaze to me, attentively saying, "Little brother you seem to be a person who knows what he is talking about, this inner dan, I will give you a 20% discount, and only sell you 10,000 taels of gold, how about it?"

  I'm so dizzy, selling fake goods in front of me, and also asking for a big price. I'm afraid this old guy didn't even dream that the Dragon Butterfly was right in front of him. I waved my hand and was about to leave, when the old man pulled on the corner of my coat and said eagerly, "A discount, I'll give you a discount! This is the Dragon Butterfly's inner elixir, a rare treasure! Forget it, I'm interested in little brother at first sight, one price, three thousand taels of gold!"

  Even if you sold me, it wouldn't be worth 3,000 taels of gold. I spread out my empty hands, "I really want to buy it, I just don't have the money, since you're interested in me at first sight, why don't you give it to me for nothing."

  The old man's eyes glared, waved his hand: "Go go go, no money and still say what. Dressing well, I didn't expect to be a pauper."

  Day his grandmother, the Northern Realm is the same as the Great Tang, they are all snobs. I grunted, turned around and left, and just after a few steps, I suddenly stopped.

  Strange, after leaving that stall, a sense of loss suddenly rose in my heart.

  "What's wrong?" Hatanmei asked.

  "Nothing." I said blankly and continued to walk forward. How damn odd, the farther away from that stall, the sense of loss in my heart, the stronger it became. It seemed like there was something peculiar there that I was missing out on.

  I finally couldn't help myself and turned around and walked back. It was only when I walked all the way to that stall that my emotions returned to normal. It dawned on me that there must be something mysterious here.

  The old man looked at me and ignored it, continuing to yell at other customers.

  I stared at the onyx bead for half a day, and Hai Ji looked at me oddly, "You don't really want to buy this-this inner elixir, do you?"

  I shook my head, the real Dragon Butterfly Inner Dan was inside my forehead, this one was of course fake. My eyes skimmed over the onyx beads and surveyed the other items: the bronze sword, the smoked parchment, the sapphire necklace ...... I touched this, I pawed that, and I went through everything that was placed on the stall, but there wasn't a single thing that struck me as unusual.

  What a strange thing. I drew away in disappointment, but the feeling of bewilderment returned.

  Was it still the onyx bead? I turned around with a huff, grabbed the purple copper octagonal box, brought it up to my eyes, and took a closer look at the onyx bead.

  "Buzz!" Just after touching the copper box, my ears faintly tingled, and the inner dan in my forehead, suddenly heated up, and an unusually fulfilling feeling welled up in my heart.

  Laozi understood! The strange thing is not the agate bead! Rather, it is the purple copper octagonal box that holds it!

  The old man grabbed the copper box and said in a strange voice: "Buy it or not? Don't waste your time if you don't have money. The Dragon Butterfly's inner elixir is a sought-after item in any Heavens."

Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

  Glancing at the purple copper octagonal box, I contemplated for a while and resolved to get my hands on it.

  It shouldn't be as simple as just a copper box.

  I averted my gaze and deliberately looked at the other goods, pretending to be uninterested in the copper box. I know all too well the art of bargaining. This kind of vendor, if he knows that you want to buy, he will definitely raise the price. I asked the price of the machete, and then touched the sapphire necklace, the old man finally got impatient: "Are you buying or not?"

  I grimaced bitterly, "I only have one or two silver pieces, what can I buy?"

  The old man glared at me in exasperation, "The cheapest thing here costs fifty taels of gold!"

  I pretended to shout, "What are you bluffing about! Is even this broken box containing the Dragon Butterfly's inner elixir worth fifty taels of gold?"

  The old man was dumbfounded, "This, this ten taels of gold is always there."

  I hummed disdainfully, "One or two silver is more like it." After saying that, I twisted my head and left.

  One step, two steps, three steps, my heart pounded as I waited for the old man to call out to me. When I walked to the fourth step, a voice came from behind, "Little brother, don't go! I'll sell you this copper box for one or two silver pieces, do you want it?"

  I couldn't stop smiling, just as I expected, the old man took the bait. Deliberately hesitating for a while, I then grabbed the copper box and pouted at the three big beauties, "Pay for me."

  Gan Lime Zhen gave me a cold look, "That's your business, it has nothing to do with us."

  This was also in my expectation, I took care of myself and put the copper box into my arms, and raised my head.

  "You haven't paid yet!" The old man caught up with me, holding a glittering dagger in his hand, and said viciously, "Brat, how dare you rob something in Ruyi City?"

  I looked at him with a smile on my face, the copper box I was set to take. As long as the old man made a move, the three big beauties would be forced to protect me. If they didn't want to carry the bad name of robbery, they would have to help the old man pay obediently.

  The three big beauties looked at each other and guessed my intentions. Gan Lime Zhen frowned and said, "I really don't have any money. Sixteen years of staying in that place, how could I bring money with me? Hai Ji, do you have any?"

  Hai Ji shook her head, Hat Dan Mei lifted up her puffy breasts and smiled at me, "Touch it, can I hide money on me?"

  I was completely dumbfounded, holy shit, it turned out to be four poor people!

  "Return the copper box to me!" The old man's eyes showed fierce light, a hand to me to grab, dry palms, suddenly skyrocketed several times, blood and flesh all disappeared, turned into a white skeleton claw, through the rotting corpse stench.

  Gan lemon really patted the waist of the long sword, a refreshing vapor, such as ice like snow, through the sheath and out, white across the old man in front of the body. The latter let out a strange cry and was shaken out, the dagger in his hand shattered into pieces.

  Hat Dan Mei sighed in admiration, "Immortal Gan's Three Thousand Weak Waters is truly renowned."

  "Robbing something! Someone is robbing something!" The old man climbed up and cried out, not daring to make another move.

  The people around us all gathered around, a pair of eyes staring at us.

  Someone whispered, "Gan Lemon Zhen, Hai Ji, and Hat Dan Mei are so famous, how can they also blatantly rob things?"

  "What do you know, it's the big names and power that dare to break Ruyi City's rules."

  Hai Ji awkwardly said to Hat Dan Mei, "Why don't you give the cat's eye earrings to that old man as collateral?"

  Hat Dan Mei smiled faintly, "No need to be so troublesome." Walked to the old man's side, bent down, whispered a few words in his ear, the old man was shaken, Hat Dan Mei said another sentence, the old man's face changed color, after a while, gritted his teeth, hung his head and said, "It's alright, it's alright, just now it was me who was joking. Everyone leave, I still have to do business."

  The crowd dispersed one after another, Hat Dan Mei winked at me, and Hai Ji asked curiously, "What exactly did you say to him?"

  I lazily said, "Nothing more than some threatening words, for example, the Dragon Butterfly's inner elixir is fake, old man if you dare to make any more trouble, I'll let everyone know that you're selling fake goods. Hmph, even if I return your copper box, I, the Nine-tailed Scorpion Demon, will come in the middle of the night to take your dog's life. Imagine, for a worthless box, how could an old man dare to offend our Hatchet Damsel?"

  Hat Dan Mei pouted her sexy lips, "Lin Fei you really know what's on my mind, I want to kiss you so badly."

  "Pardon me! Old me can't afford it." I hemmed and hawed and smiled, in my heart that was cool, as long as there are three big beauties backing me up, I will be able to eat, drink and take for free in the future. This should not be the words: "Fox and tiger".

  I patted my stomach, yelled to the beauties: "Now I'm very hungry, you have no money, I have to eat the king's dinner. Where is the most expensive restaurant?"
