One hour later.
Outside the misty forest.
“Dan Taiyuan, will the little beast get lost?” Lou Qianxue worriedly glanced at the forest behind her.
“It won’t.” Dan Taiyuan’s cold gaze was as calm and deep as the sea. “When the time’s up, it’ll come back.”
Lou Qianxue heaved a sigh of relief. “Forget it. If it’s still not back after the weapons bet ends, I’ll come here to look for it again. Right, you said that there are containment fruits outside the forest. Where exactly are they?”
“There.”
Lou Qianxue followed the direction pointed out by Dan Taiyuan and looked over.
She faintly saw a huge pavilion that looked like a giant beast creeping.
“This misty forest is even bigger than Qingyun Mountain. All kinds of people come here to take risks. I didn’t expect to see such a manor in this place. Let’s go and take a look. See if we can think of a way to obtain the containment fruits.”
Qingshui Villa.
“Master, Master, there are two warriors outside who wish to see you.”
“Muddlehead! What kind of a place is my Qingshui Villa? Can anyone who wishes to see me do so?”
“Master, they have an extraordinary aura. They might even be Mystic Martial Realm experts.”
“Mystic Martial Realm? Could they be experts who want to seek refuge at my Qingshui Villa? Go and invite them in.”
“Yes.”
Lou Qianxue and Dan Taiyuan followed the servant all the way into the villa. “Qingshui Villa? It’s a pity that I have never left the Tian Zhao Empire before. I don’t know what this place is. I don’t even know whether it’s fine to ask for herbs so rashly like this. Forget it, everything will turn out well. We’ll see how it goes after meeting him.”
Lou Qianxue glanced at Dan Taiyuan, who had a cold gaze and expressionless face as always.
However, his hand that held hers rubbed against her palm from time to time.
Half an hour later at the yard of the villa…
“So it was the two of you who wished to see me?”
As the elder with a triangular beard saw the two young people slowly walking over, a tinge of surprise flashed past his eyes. But he quickly suppressed it.
“Yes, it was us.”
Lou Qianxue was neither humble nor overbearing as she slowly said those words.
However, the elder’s gaze stagnated on Dan Taiyuan. The aura of this man is indistinct and void. He’s either an ordinary person who doesn’t know about Essence Martial Power or a mighty figure with high cultivation. If they have really come here to seek refuge at Qingshui Villa, it should be the latter…
The elder’s eyes gradually lit up. “Are the both of you here to seek refuge at Qingshui Villa because of our good reputation?”
“…” Lou Qianxue froze for a moment, then shook her head. “It’s not that. We just happened to pass by here, and something caught our eyes. We have set our eyes on a bunch of spiritual herbs. We merely wish to purchase them.”
“Spiritual herbs?” The elder narrowed his eyes. “What herbs?”
“The containment fruits.”
“Containment fruits?” The elder sneered. “Those are extremely rare fourth-grade spiritual herbs. How much do the both of you want to offer?”
“Fifty million taels.” Money was just a number to Lou Qianxue. She had won too much money at the Life-or-death battle stage at Lingxi Prefecture.
“F-Fifty million taels!” All the servants in the villa gasped.
A tinge of greed flashed past the elder’s eyes. “I have to say that you juniors are naive. Before entering this manor, didn’t you two think that your lives and money could get buried here?”
Dan Taiyuan’s indifferent and merciless gaze landed on the elder.
At the next instant, a coldness penetrated the elder’s bones and spread everywhere from his limbs!
The elder’s expression changed, and he instantly flew into a rage
“Our lives?” Lou Qianxue smirked and faintly smiled. She shook her head and replied, “You can’t afford to have them.”
