"Wishing you a life of peace, great elder. Please put more items on the shelf. Do you have any armor left? Getting slashed by monsters hurts a lot, I’m begging you for some armor. I don’t want to run around naked anymore!"
"Great elder, please put another batch of equipment on sale. I’ve been beaten to the point of vomiting blood by the Wild Monsters outside, and I’m still empty-handed."
"Great elder, I’m really out of money, can I trade other items with you? I have sharp beast horns, Beastmen hooves, and Little Fishman roe here. I heard that caviar is very nutritious, can I trade these for a weapon from you?"
"Hey handsome, I’m a girl, thirty-six years old, excellent conditions, have only dated less than 10 boyfriends, and now I’m considering marrying someone reliable. If you send me a weapon, I might give you a chance to pursue me."
Lin Rui picked one to reply to: "Sorry, auntie, I’ve just reached adulthood. You’re thirty-six; we might not be a good fit. But if your daughter is a loli around sixteen or seventeen, I could consider dating your daughter."
"You ***. Are you a **? This old lady ****" The thirty-six-year-old girl sent a bunch of little stars to Lin Rui immediately.
Lin Rui clicked his tongue. Was this thirty-six-year-old auntie so agitated? She must really like my suggestion, so excited she couldn’t even speak clearly. Surely my courteous demeanor left a very good impression on her. She even called herself the ’old lady,’ is that a mother-in-law type term?
The private messages kept coming in non-stop, so Lin Rui decisively chose to block messages from strangers.
The whole world went quiet in an instant, and peace returned.
Lin Rui glanced at his earnings, [Realm Coin +6558]
Audrey had already packed away her pajamas, the perfectly adorable little head leaned over, exclaiming in surprise: "Those Ordinary-level weapons are worth so much? I didn’t even bother to look at them before! I’ve thrown away thousands of them. They’ve sold for so much money... Lord, I’ve found another outfit I like."
Lin Rui immediately placed his right hand in front of her face, pushing away her body that was about to snuggle over. The same tactic doesn’t work on a Saint!
"Our lovely shopping time has come to an end for today. You can choose your favorite outfit tomorrow."
"Oh Lord, it’s not like I wanted to waste money, I just wanted to hug you."
"Really? I was going to buy you clothes tomorrow anyway, but it seems we can save on that."
"I just said I wouldn’t waste money, not that I wouldn’t buy clothes. No conflict, no conflict, hehe."
Lin Rui looked indifferently at the giggling woman, knowing she wasn’t as easy to handle as she seemed.
He said, "I can still buy you another piece of clothing. But later you’ll need to leave the territory and continue clearing monsters and various beast groups in the forest. You’re the Moonlight Apostle of the Black Queen; your combat power is stronger at night. Sleeping in the territory is such a waste."
"Lord, are you really willing to let a delicate girl like me go alone into the dark forest? What if something unfortunate happens? What if I encounter goblins? I heard goblins love girls like me, with a pretty face, sweet voice, slender waist, long legs, young and beautiful, like a Goddess."
Lin Rui crossed his arms, looked at her calmly, and asked, "Alright, what’s the condition?"
"Lord, come with me, or else I’m scared."
"Choose another one." Going with you, I’d be even more scared. You’re an airheaded girl who doesn’t play by the rules; who knows what you’d do."
"Then I just saw a pair of flesh-colored stockings and a short skirt I liked."
Moments later, a transparent teleportation gate appeared. Audrey eagerly put away the short skirt and nightgown, but carried the stockings over to Lin Rui, took off her sandals, revealing her crystal-clear toes, and deliberately extended her right leg outward, revealing it beneath the high-slit black gauze long dress.
"How do you think, Lord, do I look good in stockings in this outfit?"
Lin Rui glanced at Audrey’s long, white, straight legs, contrasting sharply with the black gauze, truly captivating and getting the blood boiling. When this airhead isn’t talking, she’s truly fitting for the title of Goddess.
Then Audrey deliberately lifted her right leg and, in front of Lin Rui, slowly put on the stockings, her fingers skillfully sliding them from the ankle to the upper thigh, making the fair leg look even smoother and more tempting under the stockings’ overlay.
Lin Rui couldn’t help but forget her airheaded nature, his heart racing.
"Lord, don’t get any funny ideas. There seems to be a captivating light in your eyes."
Lin Rui raised his head and took a look at this giggling airheaded girl, sighed helplessly, and said, "You speak well, but try to speak less in the future. Now that you’ve got your perks, hurry up and get to work."
"Okay, Lord, wait for me, I’ll bring back all the blast falls." The girl finally turned and left, her black gauze long dress fluttering in the moonlight, revealing her pretty legs in glimpses, with sleek black long hair that was youthful and ladylike, completely devoid of any sinister Necromancer aura.
The only pity is that such a beautiful girl happens to have a mouth.
Lin Rui refocused his attention on the transaction market interface, planning to sell another batch of Enhanced-level weapon equipment.
First on display were two Enhanced-level weapons from Mad Snake’s blast falls: Cold-Forged Longsword.
Lin Rui wasn’t like others who were so ruthless. They were all compatriots within the same area anyway; he did what he could to help.
The young man’s mindset wasn’t as dark and vile; his heart was very bright. He just wanted the world to be bright and beautiful. If he could add a bit of beauty to this world, it would indeed be a wonderful thing.
