"Then let's not bother, let's go!" Rong Xing put his arm around Fang Ruotang and turned to leave.

The master who sold the mermaids was in human form. Fang Ruotang saw him blocking her way and couldn't tell whether he was human or a great demon. It wasn't until she cleverly sensed him and detected the surging demonic power on his body that she realized he was a great demon, but he didn't reveal any characteristics and she didn't know what kind of demon he was.

"No way! The price is negotiable. This merman will be useful for anything you buy."

"No, it's too ugly."

Fang Ruotang pursed her lips, pulled Rong Xing aside, and walked away.

Then the sound of whipping came from behind them.

Fang Ruotang paused, about to turn around, but Rong Xing had already anticipated her movement. He put one arm around her shoulder and the other on her chin, not giving her a chance to turn around.

"No need to look anymore. Situations like this are common in this demon market. We can't control everything. Besides, that merman's attitude towards you was bad, and I don't agree with you going to save her. Let's go!"

Rong Xing was just a man of few words, but that didn't mean he was a gentle person.

He had witnessed the way the merman attacked Fang Ruotang. If Fang Ruotang weren't easy prey, he would have definitely fought the merman.

The merman suddenly looked up, towards the direction of Fang Ruotang and her group of five.

The great demon cracking the whip chuckled.

"Oh, that female cultivator is quite soft-hearted. What a pity! Your attitude wasn't good, so she's not buying from you anymore."

The mermaid's emotions were fleeting, and then he bared his teeth fiercely at the great demon.

She doesn't believe it!

How could someone who discusses how to eat her before even getting close be a good person?

There were so many transactions in the demon market that Fang Ruotang couldn't take it all in. After leaving the merman's stall, she forgot all about her business and was unaware of her complicated feelings.

She linked arms with Rong Xing, looking around here and there.

He looked like he was looking for something.

"Is there anything you want to buy? Why don't you ask Little Mirror?"

"I want to buy a golden toad. I promised Yao Yao that I would find one for her if I had the chance. I just happened to be in the demon market this time, and I thought I should be able to find one."

"That's not necessarily true. Although the golden toad can find treasure, its initial level is too low, so it won't find anything good. Moreover, very few golden toads can mutate, and only mutated golden toads are valuable and can truly find good things."

Ancestor Yan Yun casually mentioned his knowledge of the Golden Toad, while also looking around.

"Ancestor Yan Yun is right. So if you want to buy it when we meet, don't give too many spirit stones. This thing is very useful in the later stages. It's basically useless in the early stages. Ten low-grade spirit stones are enough. If you don't want to spend spirit stones, you can catch it yourself. There are plenty."

Fang Ruotang shook her head, "If you want to buy it, then buy it! Ten low-grade spirit stones aren't much, there's no reason to go out of your way to catch them, it's too much trouble."

Fang Ruotang originally intended to just stroll around and buy something along the way.

But having heard that this thing was useless, I asked Little Mirror if it was sold in the demon market, so I wouldn't miss it along the way and have to turn back later.

After obtaining the exact location, Fang Ruotang didn't rush over. The golden toad was in an inconspicuous corner, and as expected, there was no market for it.

Fang Ruotang passed by a stall and saw a special mirror. She couldn't help but ask the little mirror a question.

Are these your siblings? Look, there are faces and mouths on the glasses.

How could something so ugly be like me!

The little mirror went berserk.

Fang Ruotang felt guilty for a second.

【I was just asking, if it's not true, it's not true!】

【no! 】

[Tsk, you're so fierce.]

Little Mirror: ...

If I say you're ugly, you'll be even fiercer than me.

But I'm not ugly!

Little Mirror couldn't win an argument with Fang Ruotang.

Fang Ruotang glanced at the mirror in front of the stall and couldn't resist reaching out to pick it up and take a look.

How strange, there's a face growing on the mirror.

Rong Xing grasped her wrist.

He shook his head gently.

He whispered to her, "It's best to be cautious since this is your first time in the Demon Market. This thing looks very strange."

Fang Ruotang thought Rong Xing's words made some sense, and since she didn't necessarily have to hold it in her hand to look at it, she stared at it for a few more seconds, and then the mirror spoke.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before?!"

Fang Ruotang's eyes widened in surprise.

"You can talk?"

"Nonsense, I have a mouth, I can speak, I'm not mute!"

Fang Ruotang: ...

"You make a very good point."

"Go away! Don't block the sunlight here."

Fang Ruotang thought the mirror was kind of fun and was thinking of buying it.

Rong Xing saw through her intention and couldn't help but remind her, "This mirror seems to have a bad temper, and its sharp tongue is just as bad as the little mirror's."

[Nonsense! I praise you in every way imaginable, okay? I'm not like this lowly mirror; her soul is sealed inside, and the mirror is made from her very bones and blood.]

【Huh…】

Fang Ruotang was so frightened that she leaned back tactically.

Rong Xing was already standing behind her, making it extremely convenient for him to pull her into his arms.

Fang Ruotang dragged Rong Xing back a few steps, then ran away in a flash.

She can't do it!

She wasn't even afraid of killing people.

But she was genuinely afraid of this.

Imagine this thing on her dressing table every night when she sleeps.

She was so frightened that she had nightmares every night.

After walking a few stalls, I saw a lively scene on the street ahead.

Fang Ruotang pulled Rong Xing to join the fun. Rong Xing subconsciously followed for a few steps, but when he heard the conversation of passersby, he grabbed Fang Ruotang and tried to stop her from going forward.

But the group of people in front of them had already come into their line of sight.

"They are from the demon-hunting team."

"Damn it, when will they all finally die out?"

"Exactly, they are the ones who should be captured and have their demon cores removed."

...

I could hear passersby muttering curses.

Fang Ruotang and her group listened and each had their own thoughts.

Fang Ruotang was the most excited among them. She wanted to know if this group was the same group they had encountered in the Black Wind Demon Forest, and whether the cute little demon beast had been captured.

Fang Ruotang breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the unfamiliar little monster.

But the next moment, I was conflicted again. Why was this little monster even more beautiful?

It has a pair of fluffy white ears and a large tail hanging down behind it. The tail is not fluffy.

Is this a white fox?

Fang Ruotang stared at the little monster and asked the little mirror.

The little mirror answered yes.

Fang Ruotang then opened up her heart. She grabbed Rong Xing, looked at him eagerly, and screamed with joy in her heart.

"Ahhh, it's a white fox! It's so beautiful! I want to buy this white fox!"

Rong Xing paused, then became somewhat excited.

"Didn't you want to take in that canine beast?"

[That doesn't matter. That's yellow, this is white; they're just different colors, fluffy.]

Rong Xing: ...

I wanted to refuse, but this little monster already has such a beautiful face at such a young age. What would happen if it grew up a bit more?
