Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, the two elders of the fox demon clan exchanged glances, speechless.
After a while, an elder of the fox demon clan said, "Liu Xiaoyuan, you can state your conditions as they are!"
Liu Xiaoyuan thought for a moment and said, "My condition is very simple: if your fox demon clan wants me to refine a pill every time, you have to grant me one request. What do you think?"
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, the fox demons were stunned. Was this condition too much?
If our fox demon clan asks you to refine pills a hundred times, wouldn't that mean we have to grant you a hundred requests?
Seeing the two elders of the fox demon clan looking troubled, Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "I know you two can't make this decision on your own. Go back and discuss it with your clan leader. By the way, I generally don't bother others unless it's absolutely necessary. So, if you cooperate with me, you don't need to worry about me constantly asking you to do things for me..."
“Liu Xiaoyuan, we really can’t make this decision. How about this, we’ll go back and report to our clan leader, and then we’ll give you our answer. What do you say?” the elder of the fox demon clan asked.
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded and said, "It's alright, I have plenty of time, I can wait. By the way, if you get any news about the Medicine King Cauldron, please let me know, because if I get the Medicine King Cauldron, the chances of successfully refining pills for your fox demon clan will increase significantly in the future."
Although he learned from the Alchemy Guild that the Medicine King Cauldron might appear in the Crimson Purgatory, Liu Xiaoyuan felt it was better to be cautious.
“Alright, we’ll keep an eye on this for you,” the two elders of the fox demon clan nodded and said.
After the two left, Liu Xiaoyuan went upstairs to look for Su Xue, thinking that Su Xue was hiding upstairs and dared not come out. However, after searching upstairs, he did not find Su Xue.
Where did Su Xue go? Liu Xiaoyuan felt something was strange. Normally, Su Xue wouldn't go out and would stay at home.
Where did Su Xue go today? Liu Xiaoyuan took out his phone and dialed Su Xue's number. Su Xue said that she was shopping with Su Yu and Tan Wanyi.
Liu Xiaoyuan found it strange; it wasn't Sunday, so Tan Wanyi couldn't possibly have a day off.
But after thinking about it, it's not Sunday, so it seems these two women were bored at home and went shopping.
"Oh, right, Xiaoyuan, go pick up Su Yun from school. Wanyi and I will be home late!" Su Xue said to Liu Xiaoyuan.
When school was over, Liu Xiaoyuan went to pick up Su Yun. Su Yun asked Liu Xiaoyuan where her sister and Tan Wanyi had gone. Liu Xiaoyuan said they had gone to do something.
When they got home, Liu Xiaoyuan supervised Su Yun to finish her homework, but Su Xue and the others still hadn't returned. It was almost dark, and those three women really didn't even know the time when they went shopping.
Just then, Liu Xiaoyuan's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a landline calling. Liu Xiaoyuan answered the call.
"Hello, is this Liu Xiaoyuan?" A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Yes, I am Liu Xiaoyuan. May I ask who you are and how you got my phone number?"
The other party said, "Hello, I am a police officer from the county public security bureau. My surname is Yang. Here's the thing: Su Xue and the other two injured someone. Please come to the county public security bureau to handle this matter."
Liu Xiaoyuan was immediately dumbfounded. Su Xue and her two friends managed to injure someone while shopping. Their skills were truly extraordinary.
I figured the other party wouldn't lie; they must be a real police officer. If they were a fake officer, they wouldn't have tricked me into going to the county public security bureau; they would have tricked me into going somewhere else.
Liu Xiaoyuan asked his parents to take care of Su Yun, and then drove to the county public security bureau.
Upon arriving at the county public security bureau, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately went inside and found Su Xue and the others.
"What exactly happened?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked Su Xue and the other two. How could they have gotten into a fight just by going shopping?
Su Xue and the other two glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan but didn't say anything. At this moment, the police came over and told Liu Xiaoyuan what had happened.
It turned out that when Su Xue and her two companions were shopping, they ran into three thugs. The three thugs saw that Su Xue and her companions were good-looking, so they went up to harass them.
As a result, Su Xue and her two companions immediately took action and beat the three thugs to the ground.
The three thugs immediately called the police, because they had been beaten black and blue by Su Xue and her two companions.
After the police were called, they immediately arrested Su Xue and the other two and interrogated them. The three of them confessed to the assault.
The police couldn't really do anything about the assault, because the three thugs were also in the wrong, as they were the ones who harassed Su Xue and her two companions first.
So, they called Liu Xiaoyuan over, essentially to bail him out. After giving him a few words of advice and criticism, they released Su Xue and the other two.
After leaving the police station, Liu Xiaoyuan was extremely grateful. Su Xue's temper had changed a lot. If it were in the past, with Su Xue's temper, she would have killed the three thugs with a single sword strike, which would have been troublesome.
"Let's go get something to eat, I'm starving," Su Yu said, rubbing her belly.
The three of them had been shopping all afternoon and were starving.
The four of them found a food stall and started eating. Just as they were enjoying their meal, a group of thugs suddenly appeared and surrounded Liu Xiaoyuan and the others.
"Hey ladies, you're pretty tough. You beat our brothers so badly they're in the hospital," the leader of the thugs said arrogantly.
The thug was shirtless, with ugly tattoos on both arms, and a bald head, making him look fierce and menacing.
"Hey, you're standing here without any clothes on, you're ruining our appetite," Liu Xiaoyuan said, glancing at the thug.
Upon hearing this, the thug flew into a rage and reached out to grab Liu Xiaoyuan's collar, intending to teach him a lesson.
But before the thug's hand could even touch Liu Xiaoyuan's collar, the thug let out a scream, clutching his right hand with his left, looking utterly miserable.
"Big brother, big brother, what's wrong?" The thug asked when he saw his older brother looking pained, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
"It hurts, it hurts so much..." The thug cried out in pain.
"Big brother, should we call an ambulance? Big brother..." The thugs asked hurriedly when they saw their boss in this state.
"Damn it, do you even need to ask? Of course we have to call, hurry up and call..." the leader of the thugs shouted, telling his henchmen to call an ambulance quickly.
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at him with a smile, saying, "This is a lesson for you—try grabbing my collar with your claws."
