Chapter 69: Forge a Feud

 

Lou Mu Yan was satisfied that Huo Xiao had followed the direction her words wanted to take him.

Seeing that almost all the people around them looked at her with the same ‘you’re a fool’ look, her lips rose into a meaningful smile.

These people didn’t know the value of the dark grey stone. If they knew, they’d find that the corpse of a Flame Unicorn Beast couldn’t be compared to it. But she definitely wasn’t kind enough to explain the wonders of this stone’s use.

“Alright, I won’t make a fuss about how you changed your mind previously. So I’ll use one-fifth of the Flame Unicorn Beast’s corpse to exchange for this stone and those Crystals.” Lou Mu Yan kept holding the rock in her hand. On the surface, she appeared as if she didn’t care, but she was actually afraid of it being snatched by others.

“One-fifth? That’s a little too less.” Huo Xiao’s eyes widened. After seeing an entire Flame Unicorn Beast, how could he bear to give it up.

Lou Mu Yan chuckled softly, smiling exceptionally radiantly, “One-fifth is already a lot. One-fifth of the corpse of my Flame Unicorn Beast is already larger than that Crimson Fox. Speaking of, it seems I’m the one that’s suffering a loss.

“Of course, if you feel that you’re suffering a loss, then I’m too lazy to bother with you anymore. Just go trade with that Young Miss.” Lou Mu Yan displayed a nonchalant and indifferent gesture, throwing the dark grey stone she was playing with back to Huo Xiao.

Huo Xiao suddenly felt that the stone that he previously considered a treasure had become a burning problem. In terms of size and value, one-fifth of the corpse of the Flame Unicorn Beast from this purple-clothed woman was indeed far better than the red-clothed woman’s Crimson Fox.

How could one choose copper coins after seeing gold coins? He wasn’t that stupid to lose something big because of something small.

But this woman sure remembered her grudges well—she still remembered how he wanted to back out earlier.

“Can we discuss it a bit more? You can use one-fifth of the Flame Unicorn Beast’s corpse to trade for my stone and the Crystals, but I want to discuss with you about the remainder of the corpse.” Huo Xiao pondered deeply, then decided that he would take out all the good things he had accumulated to see if he could trade them for the entire Flame Unicorn Beast’s corpse from this woman.

Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow as she stroked her chin under Huo Xiao’s nervous gaze, then said leisurely after a while of silence: “I’m in a good mood today, so discussing with you is fine. But this isn’t the place to talk.”

“No worries, we’ll go wherever you think is appropriate.” Huo Xiao’s face brightened and said with haste and urgency. As long as she was willing to talk, then there was still a chance.

Lou Mu Yan glanced at him with disdain, put away the Flame Unicorn Beast on the ground, then nodded and said: “Then let’s go.”

Huo Xiao packed away all the Crystals from the stall, thought a little, then stuffed the dark grey stone quickly into Lou Mu Yan’s hands, as if afraid she would go back on her words, “This stone’s counted as a deposit, you take it first.”

“Aren’t you afraid of me running away with it?” Lou Mu Yan concealed the smile in her eyes—everything was under her control.

“Why should I be afraid? I absolutely believe in your credibility, Miss.” Huo Xiao’s unshaven face pulled a smile that he thought was very sincere.

He had never done such condescending things in his life, but for the Flame Unicorn Beast’s corpse, he’d bear it.

Lou Mu Yan took the stone slowly and nodded: “Alright. I’ll temporarily accept this stone since you’re pleasing to the eye. I’ll return it if we don’t come to an agreement.”

“…” The others that heard this were completely speechless. Where was this stall owner pleasing to the eye? He had such a sloppy look, with clothes stained with soil.

It seemed that she wasn’t only just a foolish spender, but her eyes weren’t good either.

“Of course we’ll agree, how could we not come to an agreement?’ Huo Xiao said immediately. Even if he couldn’t get the remaining Flame Unicorn Beast’s corpse, he’d still take that one-fifth.

“Then are you still going to trade with another? That Young Miss is still waiting for your reply.” Lou Mu Yan looked at Xin Ying Xuan who had a grim expression, and asked Huo Xiao with a smile.

She was very vengeful. She still remembered how this woman wanted to snatch her things arrogantly just now and also her act of pointing her finger at her. Not to mention she had a feeling that in the future, she’d inevitably forge a huge feud with the woman. Since that was the case, then it didn’t hurt to offend her more right now.

Her intuition had always been rather accurate, and because of this keen sense of foresight, she had escaped numerous catastrophes before.

“Young Miss, please put your Crimson Fox away now. She indeed took out a corpse of a Demonic Beast that was higher in Tier than yours, so you didn’t lose unjustly.” Huo Xiao pointed to the Crimson Fox’s corpse on the ground and there was some irreverence in his eyes.

Xin Ying Xuan took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. She glanced at Lou Mu Yan with an obscure, cold look, put away the Crimson Fox, then quickly left with the people she brought.

After leaving the markets, Xin Ying Xuan’s face was as grim as ink, and she ordered a man beside her, “Go and investigate that woman.”

A viciousness flashed past in her eyes. If that woman’s background was stronger than hers, then she’d swallow this for the time being, but if that woman was just a small clan’s pupil, then she’d slowly play her to death.

“Yes, Third Young Miss.”

Lou Mu Yan looked thoughtfully in the direction Xin Ying Xuan left and was even more determined to find the Deep Orchid in the Glacial Mountain Range. She must quickly refine the Foundation Establishment Pill and improve her strength.

After leaving the free trade zone, Lou Mu Yan smiled and asked the others: “How about we go to the commercial stores to have a look.” She wanted to collect more Spiritual Herbs in case of any emergency in the future.

“Little sister has the say.” Lou Mu Bai’s indifferent eyes displayed a bit of pampering. He wouldn’t ask Lou Mu Yan where she obtained the Flame Unicorn Beast. As long as his younger sister was fine, then he’d be satisfied.

Yun Lan and the others wanted to go to the commercial area to have a look to begin with, so they naturally wouldn’t refuse. Only Huo Xiao looked miserable, but he didn’t dare to offend this little grandaunt1 before him, so he could only tag along with them.

After the few people left, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. Some of them also secretly ordered others to investigate Lou Mu Yan’s background.

Truth be told, Lou Mu Yan didn’t really want to take out the corpse of the Flame Unicorn Beast to trade with Huo Xiao so ostentatiously. Except, after that woman interfered, and for Mo Yan’s need of that stone, she could only show off a little.

As for the consequences of taking out the Flame Unicorn Beast, she had already thought about it. The Marrow Cleansing Pill had already been known to everyone—didn’t she have a mysterious Master? It didn’t matter to put more responsibility onto her ‘Master’. She believed that those people who secretly investigated her would definitely attribute her possession of the Flame Unicorn Beast to that Master.

Speaking of ‘Master’, Ming Xiu’s figure suddenly flashed through Lou Mu Yan’s mind. Her lips raised in a merry arc. Who knew what that devilish man’s reaction would be if he knew that she traded the Flame Unicorn Beast so casually?

She reached out her hand and rubbed the ice bangle on her wrist. This bangle truly gave her a weird feeling. There seemed to be a sliver of connection between her and it, yet it also seemed that there was none, drawing them together yet not quite.

This ice bangle was definitely extraordinary, but she hadn’t found the trick to unseal it, or maybe she couldn’t establish a deeper connection because she was still too weak.

If she could meet Ming Xiu again, she could definitely ask him. She always had a feeling of spiritual harmony with this ice bangle, so she really wanted to know its secret.

Just like how in Chinese, some men would say ‘I’m your old man/father’ or ‘I’m your grandfather’ to show dominance in a verbal fight. Likewise females might also say ‘I’m your mother’. ‘You’re my grandson/You’re a grandson’ is also an insult, because it calls them weak.
