Misleading students

After leaving the clothing store, Xu Shulou noticed that there was a "Big Eye Candied Fruit" not far away. He wondered if it shared the same owner with the clothing store.

Even though they were still afraid of the food in the demon world, the two were still curious and planned to go in and take a look.

Xu Shulou walked in front and stepped into the shop. He saw everything on the counter at a glance, then turned around and covered his junior sister's eyes.

Bai Roushuang blinked in her palm in confusion: "Senior Sister?"

"Trust me, don't look at it."

Bai Roushuang nodded nervously: "Of course I believe you."

The two of them left the store stiffly, and then they couldn't help but smile at each other. Buying food in the demon world seemed like an adventure.

Behind the candied fruit shop is a winding river with clear water. Occasionally, a few strange-looking long-legged fish swim in it.

Xu Shulou stopped by the river and asked, "Would you like something to eat?"

"Okay!" Bai Roushuang chose a spot with a good view by the creek, spread out a blanket, and waited for her senior sister to take out the stored food.

Xu Shulou brought out two bowls of mutton noodle soup, a plate of crispy crystal fish, a few steamed cakes, and a small plate of fragrant medicinal vine flowers and dragon beard crisps, and carefully set the table and chopsticks. Even if you are in the demon world, you can't be careless when eating.

Bai Roushuang took a bite of the pancake and felt that she was freed from the shadow of the earthworm soup. She looked happily at the clear river in front of her and said, "I wonder if this river water can be drunk?"

The kindly old demon lady who was washing clothes nearby looked up at her and said, "Are you demons from other places? This is called the Deaf River. If you drink the water from the river, you will be deaf for seven days. Don't drink it carelessly."

"..."The magical soil and climate of the demon world gave birth to this magical river, which amazed the two of them.

To express their gratitude for the reminder, the two warmly invited Grandma Demon to have lunch with them. Grandma Demon came over cheerfully, took the dragon beard crisps handed over by Xu Shulou, tasted a bite, and said in surprise: "It's so delicious, what is it and how do you cook it?"

Bai Roushuang was even more surprised than her. It turns out that you demons can taste real delicious food?

Xu Shulou gave the only two boxes of dragon beard cakes left in the Qiankun bracelet to the demon granny who thanked him repeatedly: "This is called dragon beard cake, a delicacy in the mortal world."

"So there is such a thing in the mortal world? It's sweet, soft and delicious," the devil grandmother shook her head, "Then why don't mortals eat this, but eat bile-filled brains instead?"

“……”How do you explain this?

Fortunately, the evil old lady had no intention of asking any further questions. She was thinking of taking this thing called Dragon's Beard Pastry back to her family to try, and said goodbye to the two of them.

After the meal, the two packed up their things and continued to stroll on the street.

There is a pawn shop not far from the river, called "The Lost Pawn Shop". Bai Roushuang is very worried whether this means that anyone who enters this shop will have one foot chopped off.

However, ever since she started selling the fasting pills, she had become more sensitive to money matters, and now it was inevitable that she wanted to know about the prices in the demon world.

The two entered the pawnshop. The spider lying at the door glanced at them lazily, raised one foot and pulled the wind chime on the door to alert the people inside that there were guests.

Bai Roushuang noticed that the spider only had seven legs left, and suddenly realized that it was a slip of the tongue. The names of the shops in the demon world are always unexpected but reasonable.

Xu Shulou walked into the inner room of the shop without looking around.

Bai Roushuang hurriedly followed them. Seeing the shopkeeper sitting behind the counter, who had a head and two eyes, she felt a sense of familiarity. This was until the shopkeeper wrote with one hand and ground ink with the other, and used his other hand to point to a chair in front of them and said, "Sit down."

"Does this place accept things from the cultivation world?" Xu Shulou asked.

"Of course I will accept it, but if I find out it's fake, I'll cut off one of your legs and sell it here." The shopkeeper's tone sounded very official.

"..." Bai Roushuang probed, "You guys are still selling human, no, magic legs here? What are you going to buy them for? Are you going to eat them?"

The shopkeeper looked at her with a perverted look, condemning her, and shouted to a sturdy waiter: "Keep a close eye on her, don't let her buy any demon body parts from us!"

Being despised by a demon on a moral level, Bai Roushuang could only lower her head in embarrassment.

The shopkeeper asked cautiously, "What do you two want to pawn when you visit our shop?"

Bai Roushuang thought about it and took out a Bigu Pill: "Do you want this?"

The shopkeeper took it, looked at it closely, and his expression relaxed a little: "Is it the Bigu Pill from the cultivation world?"

"The boss really knows what's good. This is what I use to fill my stomach on a daily basis." Bai Roushuang emphasized the second half of the sentence, hoping to get rid of the image of herself as a "pervert who eats demon flesh" in the other party's eyes.

"So you still have a lot?" the shopkeeper asked.

Bai Roushuang was cautious: "There are still ten."

"I'll pay 200 magic coins per piece, will you sell them all to me?"

Bai Roushuang didn't know how much two hundred magic coins were worth, so she subconsciously raised the price: "Three hundred."

"Deal." The shopkeeper made the final decision.

So happy? It seems that she still gave too little, but Bai Roushuang didn't feel sorry. After all, she made the fasting pills, so she could get as many as she wanted. At this time, she picked a few pills of each flavor from the storage ring and handed them to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper glanced at her storage ring and asked, "Would you like to sell this?"

"You want this too?" Bai Roushuang was surprised. Storage bags and storage rings are considered relatively low-end storage magic tools in the world of cultivation. They have limited capacity. A cultivator must cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage before he can use the Qiankun bracelet that Xu Shulou often uses.

"Things from the cultivation world, just for the sake of novelty."

Bai Roushuang keenly sensed a hint of urgency from the shopkeeper's casual tone. It seemed that things from the cultivation world sold well here. "What price do you plan to offer?"

"One thousand magic coins."

Bai Roushuang asked cautiously, "How many magic coins can one spirit stone be exchanged for here?"

"Medium-level spirit stones can be exchanged at a one-to-one ratio. Whether you want to exchange spirit stones for magic coins or magic coins for spirit stones, I can satisfy you here." There is more than one place that can exchange spirit stones. You can find out by asking around. There is no need for the shopkeeper to lie on this issue.

A storage bag only sold for 200 medium-grade spirit stones in the cultivation world, but the price had increased five times, and that was without her asking for bargaining.

Bai Roushuang shook her head with some regret: "I only have this one with me, so I won't pawn it."

Xu Shulou casually took out two bracelets from his Qiankun bracelet and said, "Pawn mine."

The shopkeeper took it with three hands, put it under his eyes and examined it carefully: "Good, good, good!"

Xu Shulou thought for a moment, then took out a few silk flowers and hairpins that she had never worn since she bought them in the mortal world, and asked curiously, "Do you want this?"

"I'll take it, of course," the shopkeeper took it quickly. "The price is naturally not as good as the spiritual treasures in the cultivation world, but the advantage is that these pieces of jewelry look good and can be sold immediately. I'll give you a total of 1,000 magic coins for each piece. What do you think?"

It turns out that the demons still have normal aesthetic taste and can even see that this silk flower looks good, Bai Roushuang couldn't help but think.

After getting Xu Shulou's approval, the shopkeeper happily paid the magic coins: "Miss, if you have any more items from the cultivation world or the mortal world, you must bring them to me to sell. I will give you a price one cent higher than the market price."

"good."

There were actually many strange and odd things in Xu Shulou's Qiankun bracelet, but since she had no shortage of spirit stones and understood the principle of not showing off her wealth, she did not take advantage of it. After getting enough magic coins for herself and her junior sister to squander, she stopped.

Although she hasn't found anything to squander yet, these magic coins are at least enough for them to drink hundreds of bowls of earthworm soup.

After collecting the magic coins, the two said goodbye and left. When they reached the door, Bai Roushuang couldn't help but sigh: "I wonder if anyone dares to do the reselling business between the two worlds. This is very profitable."

"Those who have the courage and the means to travel between the two worlds can certainly make a fortune," Xu Shulou also nodded. "When you're here, you can also purchase some specialties from the demon world and sell them back in the cultivation world."

"It's fine to sell things from the cultivation world here," Bai Roushuang worried, "but aren't things from the demon world too advanced for cultivators?"

"This is something that needs to be explored," Xu Shulou thought. "For example, maybe we can collect the water from the Deaf River and sell it to the scholars who study hard in the mortal world. This way, they can study quietly even in a busy city without being disturbed by the outside world."

"...Senior Sister, you are truly a business genius."

Xu Shulou smiled and shook his head: "It's just talk. It's still a bit dangerous if you can't hear any sound. You can bring some back to Sixth Junior Brother to see if he can improve it and incorporate it into the elixir. If not, forget it."

———

Xu Shulou's undercover career ended on an ordinary afternoon. There was no sunshine in the sky and her mood was bright but sad.

An uninvited guest was waiting not far from the pawn shop and politely bowed to her: "Miss Xu, or Miss Xu Shu? I don't quite understand the surnames of you cultivators."

"...My last name is Xu," Xu Shulou was a little surprised that his identity was suddenly exposed, "But if there really is a double surname called 'Xu Shu', it sounds good."

"Oh, Miss Xu," the visitor introduced himself, "I am a demon servant from the demon world."

Bai Roushuang whispered to her senior sister: "Demon Servant? What is that?"

"The guards of the demon clan?" Xu Shulou understood it literally.

“…”

The demon servant continued, "Miss Xu, Miss Bai, you have caused panic in the market. When our demon lord heard about it, he invited you two to come to the palace for a talk."

Xu Shulou was surprised: "Is anyone panicking? Because of me? Why?"

"..." The demon servant looked at her silently, everything was said without words.

Bai Roushuang became nervous: "What if we refuse?"

The demon servant looked at her sadly: "Then...will you kill me?"

I was just about to ask this question... Bai Roushuang's lines were snatched away and she was speechless for a moment.

The demon servant lowered his head and said, "My great-great-grandmother was born today. I have young and old people to take care of. I hope you two ladies will show some mercy."

“…” The demons seemed to have a more flexible genealogical relationship.

Seeing that they were silent, the demon servant became more cautious: "What do you two ladies think?"

Xu Shulou and his junior sister exchanged a glance, knowing that they couldn't hide in someone else's territory, so they nodded and agreed: "Okay, we'll go with you."

The demon servant seemed to have been pardoned. He relaxed and walked in front to lead the way for the two of them. He brought them to a very grand palace with three hideous characters "Gate of Hell" written on the door.

The gates of hell? Bai Roushuang took a deep breath and grabbed the corner of her senior sister's clothes.

Seeing her staring at the three words, the demon servant explained, "The Demon Lord once heard that there is a poem in the mortal world that says heroes have a hard time passing through the gates of hell, so he named the residence this way."

He said it so naturally that Bai Roushuang didn't realize that something was wrong for a moment. After a while, she reacted and corrected him, "It's hard for a hero to resist the temptation of a beautiful woman."

"Beauty Gate?" The demon servant was confused. "Why? Is beauty more terrifying than the gate of hell?"

"This..." Bai Roushuang was speechless.

The demon servant was very curious and humbly asked her for advice: "Or is it that the understanding of 'beauty' in the cultivation world is different from that of us demons?"

"It should be about the same, right?" Bai Roushuang was already a little unconfident because of him. She raised her hand and pointed at Xu Shulou, "For example, my senior sister is a great beauty."

"I understand," the demon servant stood in awe, "So the beauty you are talking about is actually a woman who is particularly terrifying and lethal."

“…”

The demon servant sighed to himself: "It is true that one never stops learning as long as he lives."

"..." Bai Roushuang closed her mouth tightly, fearing that she would continue to mislead the students.
