"Hehe~ Fellow Daoist...it's like a flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple. We're all family. Look, I was just worried someone would impersonate Mr. Xunhuan, so...please be magnanimous and let it go, okay?" Wu Yong had already confirmed Lai Siyu's identity, and since silencing her was clearly out of the question, he wiped the liquid off his face and threw it to the ground. [First published online]
What’s the point of caring about face? Life is more important!
Lai Siyu was not surprised at all by Wu Yong's sudden change. She was very confident in her ability to deceive people.
Moreover, her subordinates were much more powerful than Wu Yong's. Before, she scared away the onlookers. In fact, Lai Siyu had intended to kill Wu Yong and others.
If you can’t fool them, just silence them!
However, try to fool people as little as possible. After all, Youhu Guozi has left the Heavenly Realm for millions of years, and the memories that Calabash Brothers absorbed from Qi and others only provide a very one-sided understanding of the Heavenly Realm.
If you want to get more information about the Heavenly Realm, Wu Yong is a breakthrough point.
His father is a close confidant of Zong Zhengsong, so he should have more and more accurate information about the royal family.
And since we have come to the border town, how can we not do something?
More than two million people immediately guarded the border town in order to prevent them from coming from the wilderness. Hehe, if the border town was not messed up, it would be a shame to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven.
However, Lai Siyu wasn't ready to let Wu Yong go. Her eyes gleamed with a cunning glint, like she was looking at her prey, and it sent a chill through Wu Yong's body.
"I'm a timid person. You scared me just now! Thousands of high-grade immortal crystals can't make up for my fragile heart!"
Wu Yong's face was bitter. "Sister, you are talking about top-grade immortal crystals! Not cabbage. Why are you asking for a few thousand?"
His bodyguards' eyes widened. Damn, he was indeed a pleasure-seeking young master, so overbearing, asking for a thousand eight hundred high-grade immortal crystals! (Ahem~ Please understand, it's your young master who's being blackmailed, okay!)
What does it mean to have one thousand high-quality immortal crystals?
In the Celestial Realm, cultivators below the True Immortal level generally used Spirit Stones, but after reaching the True Immortal level, Spirit Stones lost their effectiveness. Cultivators above the True Immortal level used Immortal Crystals, whether for trading or personal use.
Immortal crystals are divided into four grades: low-grade immortal crystals, medium-grade immortal crystals, high-grade immortal crystals and top-grade immortal crystals.
Every one hundred low-grade immortal crystals can be exchanged for one medium-grade immortal crystal, one hundred medium-grade immortal crystals can be exchanged for one high-grade immortal crystal, and one hundred high-grade immortal crystals can be exchanged for one top-grade immortal crystal.
In other words, Lai Siyu offered a price of one thousand high-grade immortal crystals, which is equivalent to ten million low-grade immortal crystals, the main currency circulating in the market, and one hundred thousand medium-grade immortal crystals.
These immortal crystals are enough to cover the annual salary of Wu Yong’s immortal king-level bodyguards combined.
This girl is... so rude!
"What? My fragile little darling isn't worth this price?" Lai Siyu's face suddenly changed. Wu Yong trembled with fear and immediately replied, "It's worth it, it's worth it, of course it's worth it!"
Wu Yong raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking that this time he could only rely on his father to help him through the crisis.
"It's just that I don't have that many immortal crystals on me right now..."
Lai Siyu's face darkened upon hearing this. She said to Wu Yong with disdain, "You're the most dignified young master in Border Town, yet you don't even bring a thousand high-grade immortal crystals with you when you go out. Aren't you afraid of losing face?"
"Sister, that's a thousand high-grade immortal crystals, not spirit stones! Even if I sell everything he has, I still can't get that much."
"How about I write an IOU?" Wu Yong said with a smile on his face. The bodyguard behind him also had a flattering smile on his face.
Lai Siyu glanced at them with disdain, then waved her hand helplessly and said, "Take out all the immortal crystals in your storage bracelets!"
Wu Yong felt relieved as if he had been freed.
He quickly handed over all his immortal crystals and urged his bodyguards: "Hurry up and take out all the immortal crystals! Anyone who dares to hold back will be punished when I get back!"
Although the bodyguards felt the pain, their lives were at stake, so they donated all their immortal crystals.
"That's all? You, the most powerful young master in Border Town, are truly shabby!" Lai Siyu scoffed, looking at the immortal crystals floating before her. Wu Yong had indeed handed over ten high-grade immortal crystals, but the others had only a few hundred mid-grade immortal crystals and tens of thousands of low-grade immortal crystals.
Moreover, cultivators have the habit of carrying their property with them, so it is estimated that these immortal crystals should be their entire fortune.
Daxue and others also looked at Wu Yong and others with contempt.
Damn it, it’s bad enough that I’m despised by the female cultivators, but what does it mean that you demon slaves also despise me?
In the border town, not only the demon slaves dared not offend him, even the monks did not dare to offend him!
Isn't it courting death to offend the city lord's favorite son?
However, due to the circumstances, he had to endure even if the demon slaves were disrespectful to him.
"Well, the prices in the border town are relatively high, so the monks in the border town are not very wealthy." Seeing his young master's face flushed, the head bodyguard hurriedly explained.
These words came from his heart. If it weren't for the high prices, would they, who have the cultivation level of immortals, be necessary to serve as bodyguards?
Doing this job not only means being ordered around by guys with lower cultivation than you, but your life is also in danger at any time. The little commission you earn in a year is not enough to spend.
If they were not the lackeys of the young master of the City Lord's Mansion and could use their status to blackmail others, they would not be able to save any spirit stones with their small commissions.
Lai Siyu nodded, indicating that she understood, and the bodyguard leader finally put his mind at ease.
After putting the immortal crystal away, the girl said, "Well, since you've gone through so much trouble, and I'm a kind person, I won't bother with you."
Wu Yong was delighted. Now that was good, he finally didn't have to go home to find his father.
But unexpectedly, Wu Yong's joy didn't last for two breaths before Lai Siyu spoke again.
"Those immortal crystals were used to compensate my subordinates for their mental damages. As for my mental damages... since you can't afford it..."
Wu Yong's heart was in his throat. He looked at Lai Siyu pitifully, like a puppy who had done something wrong and was begging for forgiveness from his owner.
Auntie, my little darling is the fragile one, please don't be too cruel!
"Then write the IOU! The term is to pay it back within ten days. There's no interest for the first two days, but after that, the interest rate is 10% per day, compound interest. Do you understand?"
Wu Yong cried. He understood, of course he understood!
As the most dissolute playboy in the border town, how could he not know what usury is!
Damn, who are these people?
Grandpa Xunhuan, may I ask if all the people around you are bandits?
