Chapter 257 Pain! It hurts so much! She's understanding Mist Blade more and more!
Yu Xunge's heart skipped a beat. She didn't understand what the flaw was. Did the bear biscuit have any markings? But she remained calm on the surface and even smiled helplessly: "You found out... Yes, this is my disguise. So, shall we change it?" She opened her palm, revealing two tiles of the character "筒" (tong). "My master doesn't need these tiles. Any other tiles will do."
She wasn't sure what cards the Oak Owl wanted, so she could only gamble. What if the other party didn't need the Bamboo suit either...? Then she would have to call Tulan over and use [Despicable Dragon] to turn back time.
Undeterred by the lack of information, Vanilla weighed the pros and cons in his mind: "My master wants all kinds of tiles, what benefit would he get from exchanging me with you? Would you trade two of your tiles for one of mine?"
Yu Xunge retorted angrily, "Of course it's one for one! What are you thinking? But I know what you mean, I need to exchange with you. I can add some money, but I need to see what you have first."
“I can trade with you.” Vanilla wasn’t so easily fooled. “But I need to see if the dominoes in your hand are real or fake first.”
Yu Xunge: "Okay, we can both hold them in our hands and show them to each other."
Vanilla: "Okay."
The two owls, one large and one small, stared at each other across the counter. Yu Xunge silently tiptoed, trying to make sure he didn't lose too much of his imposing presence...
She wished she had become an adult oak owl. She never expected the oak owl she encountered to be so clever and shrewd. Even though oak owls generally love and care for young children, he would not let his guard down against the baby oak owl.
Both sides slowly extended their dominoes towards each other.
Yu Xunge quietly tossed the can with his other hand, kicking it into a corner just before it hit the ground. Xiangcao sneered inwardly, not even glancing in that direction...
Vanilla's hand, holding the dominoes, instantly flipped, turning her palm into a claw as she tried to snatch the dominoes from the little oak owl's hand, taunting, "Foolish—"
Before he could even utter the word "stupid," the oak owl was stunned, but he regained his senses in the blink of an eye. Moreover, being a man of great experience, he instantly understood the purpose of the can. He abandoned his ability to make a sound and instead used a mental attack.
Although he did not outwardly lower his guard against the little oak owl, deep down he still underestimated the little oak owl in front of him who was not even level 8. This underestimation was something he himself did not realize. An adult who has seen countless hardships and schemes will always unconsciously be a little arrogant when facing a child.
However, the next second he started drooling and babbling.
Yu Xunge had already jumped over the counter and poured a bottle of high-grade sleeping potion into the other person's mouth. His movements were so practiced that one might have wondered if this was some kind of S-level skill called "Mom feeds you medicine".
Yu Xunge was also surprised, because the moment Xiangcao made her move, the bear-shaped biscuit on her waist turned into a brown bear that went to her waist to try to protect her. However, the bear looked blankly at its "little master" who was pinching the chin of the big oak owl and forcing him to take medicine.
That's right. If [A is here!] can fool divination and S-rank items, how could it not fool Little Bear?
Yu Xunge turned around and looked at the bewildered, adorable little bear. He waved to it, indicating that there was no danger and he could come back.
The little bear scratched the back of its head, gave a silly smile, and then obediently flew to Yu Xunge's waist. It shrank in the air and turned back into a little bear biscuit hanging on Yu Xunge's waist.
Yu Xunge dragged Xiangcao under the counter and checked her condition. He discovered that the sleeping potion that could make Wuxi unconscious for several hours could only make Xiangcao unconscious for a few minutes.
She cast another [Ice Flower Seal] on Vanilla and began repeating what she had done to Misty before—practicing her self-made skills.
Yu Xunge didn't even bother to pick up the empty cans in the corner. She just stood on Xiangcao's stomach, trying to steal the dominoes from him while keeping an eye on the outside of the shop. During this time, when aliens came in to sell things, she would pay whatever price they asked for, as long as it wasn't too expensive.
Every few minutes, she would take out a bottle of high-grade sleeping potion that she had bought for research and give it to Xiangcao. She would also seal him with the Ice Flower Seal from time to time. She dared not let Xiangcao be awake for even a moment, because who knew what skills he had.
After eating three servings of healing food, Yu Xunge clenched her teeth as she looked at the new mahjong set in her backpack!
Above are nine upright fox tails – [nine tails].
It hurts! It hurts so much! She found herself increasingly understanding the expression on Mistblade's face when he received the [40,000]!
Yu Xunge suppressed her heartache and carefully put away the [Nine Articles].
Looking at the honor roll, sure enough, I've gained another 10,000 honor points.
She suspected that Vanilla might have more than one "Nine of Bamboo" tile, otherwise he wouldn't be so "unlucky." But there were other possibilities, such as him overusing his luck because he obtained another treasure, or that he did indeed obtain two mahjong tiles, but the first one had already been given to its owner...
There are too many possibilities, and she doesn't intend to stay here any longer for such a low probability. She had used dominoes when she traded with Vanilla, which could attract powerful figures like Mistblade at any time. The risk is too great. Moreover, this place is too close to the main city of Polar Day City, and Vanilla's identity is special, so there is a possibility of being discovered at any time.
Having obtained one domino today was enough. Suppressing her greed, she glanced outside the shop, nimbly squatted down, took out her bow and arrow, and fired several arrows at Vanilla, who was only level 42, reducing his health to 50% before stopping. During this time, she also took 20% of the reflected damage from injuring Oak Owl.
After downing him with a bottle of high-grade poison and a sleeping potion, and finally finishing him off with an Ice Flower Seal to ensure his death within 5 to 8 minutes, Yu Xunge got up to leave.
Just as Mistblade was wary of whether she might have some powerful backing left behind, she now dared not kill Vanilla directly.
She didn't know if Vanilla's death would trigger any mechanisms or backup plans, but she couldn't spare his life. She could only delay his death as much as possible to buy herself enough time to escape.
However, just as the poison took effect and Vanilla's health dropped below 50%, the shop door slammed shut and a triple magic circle lit up. In an instant, the general store became a cage, and magical symbols lit up at the feet of Yu Xunge and the corpse.
Looking down at the percentage of Vanilla's life, Yu Xunge immediately realized that she had triggered the opponent's hidden move.
Wait... how come your battery level is higher than my phone's battery percentage even when it's in low power mode?!
Yu Xunge reacted extremely quickly. The moment the magic symbols under her feet lit up, she prepared to teleport away. However, she found that she could still mobilize magic, but she couldn't use her skills—this area was sealed off!
Without hesitation, she switched to the item skill "I'm in a hurry" and instead of trying to move outside the shop, she moved to a corner of the shop. This time she succeeded. She not only avoided the magic circle under her feet, but also avoided the chains that shot out from the magic circle.
