Chapter 116: duck blood spicy soup
Upon seeing this, Xu Jiaoqin broke into a smile.
Before coming here, she hadn’t thought much about it, getting rice in exchange would suffice.
But once she arrived and saw how much Su Yinhe liked the item, and knowing Su Yinhe’s financial standing, she didn’t stand on ceremony with Su Yinhe.
She held up three fingers.
“Deal,” Su Yinhe responded cheerfully.
“How will you take it?” Su Yinhe noticed Xu Jiaoqin had come alone, without Yun Wujiu, who often followed her closely.
“Can we discuss this? Can the rice be… picked up the next time we go to the supermarket?” After all these days, Xu Jiaoqin was aware that Su Yinhe wasn’t likely to leave any time soon, and Su Yinhe had no immediate plans to move on.
Still, she wanted to test the waters.
After this incident, she was indeed afraid that Su Yinhe might take off with her supermarket.
Her question also aimed to find out if Su Yinhe intended to continue staying near Sun Base.
“That’s fine.” Normally it wouldn’t work, but since Xu Jiaoqin frequently shopped at the supermarket, they could be considered acquaintances.
She could be granted some privileges.
“Great, thanks, boss.” Xu Jiaoqin’s smile held more sincerity.
After exchanging items, Xu Jiaoqin wasn’t in a rush to leave and began assisting nearby.
Su Yinhe glanced at her and tacitly agreed.
So, several Superpower Users who came later and wanted to cause trouble didn’t dare.
These Superpower Users had heard that someone was trading rice for jewelry at the market and had discussed it amongst themselves, planning to check out the situation. If it seemed easy to exploit, they would threaten and steal.
If they didn’t feel confident, they would just trade honestly.
Then they saw Xu Jiaoqin.
These Superpower Users didn’t frequent the supermarket much, and when they did go to the supermarket, it was mainly to shop. They conducted their transactions at the cashier robots and hadn’t noticed that there was also a boss.
So, they didn’t really recognize Su Yinhe.
But Su Yinhe didn’t recognize her, while Xu Jiaoqin did.
Xu Jiaoqin was known for her explosive temperament, just like her explosive figure.
She was well-known in the base.
Cheetah Team was pretty famous too.
They weighed their chances and decided they couldn’t win.
So they behaved themselves afterward.
Xu Jiaoqin continued to help while chatting with Su Yinhe.
“Boss, where are you staying now? Do you need help? My house is quite big,” her house was still sturdy, despite being shabby, and could still accommodate people.
It was much better than many other collapsed houses.
“No, I have a place to stay. I’m staying in a tent with Chi Yan and Lin Murong,” It was already troubling Chi Yan and Lin Murong enough; it wouldn’t be good to impose on yet another person.
Also, she had a good relationship with Chi Yan and Lin Murong. They had previously mooched off her at the supermarket, so now it was her turn, which was only fair.
But it was different with Xu Jiaoqin.
They had a financial transaction.
Staying at her house wouldn’t be appropriate.
Hearing the name Chi Yan, Xu Jiaoqin’s face stiffened, and although she had intended to sincerely invite Su Yinhe, she suddenly found herself unable to speak.
“You all are afraid of him?” Su Yinhe noticed her unease.
She realized that Chi Yan really had a notorious reputation in Sun Base.
In the past few days of doing business, she had asked a few people about Chi Yan.
People, initially happy with their rice, would suddenly change their demeanor upon hearing Chi Yan’s name.
Then they would mysteriously share Chi Yan’s “great deeds” with her.
She had heard many things about Chi Yan.
They depicted him as a demonic figure, making her feel awkward now when she thought about seeing Chi Yan again.
“I wouldn’t say afraid…” Xu Jiaoqin was a bit awkward, her face twisted.
“It’s just that I think he’s very changeable… very abnormal.” She originally wanted to say perverted, but out of consideration for Su Yinhe’s relationship with Chi Yan, Xu Jiaoqin forcibly changed her choice of word.
Su Yinhe was camping right next to Chi Yan’s tent, and she had seen Su Yinhe and Chi Yan sitting together with Lin Murong on several of her shopping trips to the supermarket.
Their relationship was definitely not ordinary.
“How is he abnormal?” Su Yinhe asked while she packed her things. “These two bags of rice.” While speaking, she exchanged two bags of rice.
The person who received the rice walked away grateful.
“Well… I heard that he would drain the blood from people’s bodies alive and then use it to make duck blood spicy soup…” Xu Jiaoqin whispered, her tone secretive.
“Cough… cough cough… duck blood spicy soup?” Su Yinhe was shocked. Chi Yan didn’t like to eat that, did he? When she made duck blood spicy soup before, Chi Yan barely touched it.
He wouldn’t even eat animal blood, how could he possibly eat human blood.
“Did you see it with your own eyes?”
“No. My friend told me. He said he saw Chi Yan drawing blood in the morning, and in the afternoon, he smelled Chi Yan making duck blood spicy soup.” Her friend used to live above Chi Yan’s house.
The smell was too pungent, her friend initially drooled, but when he thought about what it was made of, he was so scared that he drank two bowls of water.
Su Yinhe: “…We shouldn’t talk recklessly about things without evidence.”
Xu Jiaoqin muttered quietly, “It’s the apocalypse, what need is there for evidence.”
For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
“What else?” If Chi Yan doesn’t eat duck blood spicy soup, that story was probably false.
“There’s also… I heard someone threatened Chi Yan to perform surgery.” Xu Jiaoqin hesitated, she wasn’t the type to gossip behind people’s backs.
But she couldn’t bear to refuse Su Yinhe since she asked.
“He climbed into their house in the middle of the night, dismembered the entire family’s limbs, stripped the man naked and hung him on the wall, the woman wasn’t stripped, but she was also hung up.” Xu Jiaoqin spoke with an indescribable expression.
Hearing this, Su Yinhe also had an indescribable expression.
Chi Yan, being a germaphobe, wouldn’t do things like stripping people.
He would probably consider their clothes dirty.
“And also, there was this wealthy man with lots of food who took an interest in Chi Yan, and Chi Yan moved all of that man’s food and even… castrated him, throwing him into the red light district…”
There was a red light district at Sun Base, where people who could no longer survive, both beautiful men and women, would sell themselves into the red light district, and the young but not good-looking were the same. As for those who were old, ugly or too young, they could only become slaves.
Some men and women, not wanting to live such hard, bitter lives, would trade their bodies, their youth, for a life of ephemeral ease free of worry about food and drink.
The existence of the Sun Base in the Red Light District was known by those above, but it was tacitly permitted.
Her friend once told her that a leader of the base frequented it.
This was unexpected for Su Yinhe.
The red light district! The notorious red light district!
She used to read about this place often in novels, especially those where the underworld young master falls for me, or the underworld boss exclusively loves his delicate wife…
She was curious about it.
But before coming to this world, she was just an ordinary office worker, unable to come into contact with such places.
Moreover, in her era, such places were strictly controlled.
Su Yinhe dared not risk herself.
But now it was different, she wasn’t a person from this world, and truly had nothing to fear.
