Men and women should not touch each other.
When the bandits heard Xu Zhixun call the Sixth Prince by his name, they all gasped in shock.
Originally, some bandits did not believe that Xu Zhixun was a fairy.
However, they now believe that Xu Zhixun is a fairy.
Because, throughout the entire world, apart from fairies, almost no one dares to call the Sixth Prince by his given name!
Now, after hearing Xu Zhixun's words, Long Qian discussed it with Marshal Zhang, General Zhao, and others.
Subsequently, Long Qian planned to sell 30 boxes of military-grade compressed biscuits to Yao Zhentian.
Each box of compressed biscuits costs 20 taels of gold.
Upon hearing this, the bandits were both shocked and furious, and protested loudly:
"You're selling it for too high a price, why don't you just rob us?"
"What's the difference between you, a prince, and us mountain bandits?"
"Yes, a box of grain doesn't have much, why are you selling it for such a high price?"
"You're too greedy, even more ruthless than us bandits!"
...
After hearing the bandits' words, Long Qian coldly spoke:
“The Shenlong Army is also short of food. If I sell the food to you, some soldiers will starve to death.”
“If you think the grain is too expensive, you don’t have to buy it. I never wanted to sell grain in the first place.”
Hearing this, the bandits were very upset.
Yao Zhentian was also very troubled.
He discussed it with the second-in-command of Black Wind Stronghold, and then said to Xu Zhixun:
“Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, we really want to buy grain, but we don’t have that many gold ingots with us. They’re all in Black Wind Village.”
"This humble one would like to invite you to Black Wind Stronghold as a guest. What do you think?"
Xu Zhixun was taken aback and hesitated for a moment.
Yao Zhentian said with a smile, "Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, a year ago, this humble subject accidentally obtained a huge pearl."
"The pearl was about 6 inches in diameter."
"If you visit Black Wind Village, I would like to offer you that pearl."
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and began to discuss it amongst themselves.
"My God, a 6-inch pearl, longer than a hand!"
"Chief, you can't give Black Wind Stronghold's prized possession to Xu Zhixun!"
"Yes, please think twice before you act!"
"Could such a large pearl be the largest pearl in the world?"
"That pearl must be priceless!"
...
Everyone was incredibly excited and shared their opinions.
Long Qian's expression changed, and he said to Xu Zhixun:
"Zhi Xun, Yao Zhentian's unsolicited kindness is either malicious or thieving!"
"I think you shouldn't go to Black Wind Stronghold. We can have the bandits bring the gold ingots back!"
Xu Zhixun hesitated for a moment, then asked the system telepathically:
"System, if I go to Black Wind Stronghold, will I encounter any danger?"
The Time-Space Supermarket System: "If the host encounters ordinary danger, he/she can use teleportation to escape back to the Time-Space Supermarket."
"Furthermore, if the host encounters a fatal danger, the system's defense barrier will automatically activate to protect the host's life."
Xu Zhixun was overjoyed: "I actually have a defensive barrier? That's great! I'm going to go play at Black Wind Stronghold!"
After exchanging a few words with the system, Xu Zhixun said to Long Qian:
"I've never seen Black Wind Stronghold before. I want to go and see it to broaden my horizons."
"No, it's too dangerous!" Long Qianjun's face turned ashen.
Xu Zhixun smiled and said, "I think Chief Yao is very sincere."
"He's already invited me, it wouldn't be right for me not to go to Black Wind Stronghold as a guest, would it?"
Long Qian was very troubled: "Zhi Xun, I don't want you to take risks. Don't go to Black Wind Stronghold."
However, Xu Zhixun was very curious about what Black Wind Village was like.
Therefore, she insisted on going to Black Wind Village.
Having no other choice, Long Qian offered to accompany Xu Zhixun to Black Wind Village.
Following that, Marshal Zhang, General Zhao, and others also wanted to go to Black Wind Stronghold.
However, Yao Zhentian only allowed Xu Zhixun and Long Qian to be his guests.
Therefore, Xu Zhixun and Long Qian planned to follow Yao Zhentian and other bandits to Black Wind Village.
Long Qian chose a black steed and planned to ride the same horse as Xu Zhixun.
However, Zhang Fuyao was very jealous and said angrily:
"Xu Zhixun, you should ride your own horse. Don't let the Sixth Prince carry you on horseback! Because men and women shouldn't touch each other!"
Xu Zhixun chuckled dryly twice: "I...I can't ride a horse..."
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
Marshal Zhang also found it amusing: "Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, you are a fairy, why can't you ride a horse?"
"So when you were in Heaven, did you always travel by horse-drawn carriage?"
Xu Zhixun blinked: "No, carriages and horses are very outdated means of transportation. We immortals basically don't use them anymore."
"Horse-drawn carriages and horses are very backward?" Yao Zhentian's expression was solemn. "Then what kind of vehicles do you immortals use for travel?"
Xu Zhixun: "Bicycles, electric vehicles, cars, airplanes, ships, etc."
Long Qian asked with great interest, "What is an airplane? Is it a car that can fly in the sky?"
Xu Zhixun: "Pretty much, but plane tickets are too expensive, so I rarely fly."
Yao Zhentian asked curiously, "Do immortals need to buy tickets to fly in the sky?"
Xu Zhixun: "Of course, whether in the mortal realm or the heavenly court, you can't move an inch without money!"
Yao Zhentian sighed with emotion: "It seems that life in Heaven is not easy either; even the gods have a tough time."
"Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, if you don't mind, please ride a horse with me!"
Xu Zhixun thought about it and felt that riding the same horse as Yao Zhentian was too dangerous.
Therefore, she politely declined Yao Zhentian's suggestion:
"No need, thank you. I'll go find another deity and borrow an electric scooter!"
"Wait for me, I'll be right back!"
After saying that, Xu Zhixun used her mind to summon the Time-Space Supermarket and then walked into it.
She returned to the modern MSG factory and borrowed an electric scooter from the security guard.
This electric scooter is brand new, small and exquisite, and black and white.
Xu Zhixun rode her electric scooter back to the ancient mountains.
Everyone found the electric scooter quite novel.
Xu Zhixun smiled and said to Yao Zhentian, "Chief Yao, let's go to Black Wind Stronghold now!"
Yao Zhentian looked at the electric scooter with a doubtful expression:
"Can your electric scooter keep up with our horses?"
Xu Zhixun: "As long as you don't ride too fast, I should be able to keep up."
"Alright, let's go!" Yao Zhentian rode a white horse and galloped towards Black Wind Village ahead.
Long Qian, riding his black horse, looked at Xu Zhixun:
"Zhi Xun, stay close to me, don't lose me."
Xu Zhixun: "Okay."
Next, Long Qian and the bandits rode horses, while Xu Zhixun rode an electric scooter, and together they headed to Black Wind Village.
Marshal Zhang, General Zhao, and the others rested where they were, waiting for Xu Zhixun and Long Qian to return.
The location of Black Wind Stronghold is not far from the road where the bandits raid.
Half an hour later, the group arrived at the entrance of Black Wind Stronghold.
Black Wind Village is located in a desolate valley.
There were few plants and trees around, and everywhere was yellow earth and sand.
The entire Black Wind Stronghold was surrounded by gray city walls.
The city walls are tall, imposing, and very impressive.
On the city wall above the gate of Black Wind Stronghold, there is a two-story pavilion with upturned eaves.
"Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, this is Black Wind Stronghold!" Yao Zhentian introduced Black Wind Stronghold to Xu Zhixun.
Xu Zhixun said with a smile, "Black Wind Village is quite beautiful, with a great atmosphere, just like a blockbuster movie!"
Yao Zhentian: "What is a movie?"
Hsu Chih-hsun: "Sigh, I can't explain it to you clearly. It's just acting, a bit like a theatrical performance."
As soon as he finished speaking, the seven bandits standing at the entrance of Black Wind Stronghold all saw Yao Zhentian and his group.
The bandits immediately stepped forward and respectfully clasped their hands in greeting to Yao Zhentian.
"The boss!"
Yao Zhentian smiled slightly and introduced Xu Zhixun to everyone:
"Brothers, this young lady is none other than Xu Zhixun, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden who descended from Heaven!"
Upon hearing this, the bandits were taken aback and looked at each other in dismay.
Immediately afterwards, six of the bandits clasped their hands in greeting to Xu Zhixun:
"Greetings, Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens!"
Xu Zhixun smiled and said, "Hello!"
However, a bearded bandit simply did not believe that Xu Zhixun was a fairy.
Then, the bearded bandit roared at Yao Zhentian:
"Brother, don't be fooled by this woman! How could a fairy descend to earth?"
After saying that, the bearded bandit rushed over angrily, raised his big knife, and slashed at Xu Zhixun with all his might!
[Ding!]
[System notification: The system has detected a fatal attack on the host. The defensive barrier has been automatically activated!]
Xu Zhixun was startled and before she could react, she saw a golden defensive barrier appear around her body!
The barrier was about 2.8 meters high, like a giant soap bubble, enveloping Xu Zhixun.
The next second, the bearded bandit's broadsword slammed heavily into the defensive barrier!
In the blink of an eye, a burst of blue-purple electricity appeared on the defensive barrier.
Immediately afterwards, the bearded bandit screamed in agony as he was electrocuted on the spot!
He convulsed violently and suddenly collapsed to the ground.
About ten seconds later, his entire body was burned by the electric current.
His skin was as black as coal, and smoke was rising from his head, making him look terrifying!
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!" Everyone was terrified and screamed repeatedly.
"Third brother!" Yao Zhentian exclaimed in shock, immediately jumping off his horse to check on the bearded bandit.
"Don't touch him! Otherwise you'll get an electric shock!" Xu Zhixun immediately shouted.
Yao Zhentian was extremely anxious and quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xu Zhixun:
"Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, please forgive my third brother! He was blind and didn't believe you were a fairy!"
Xu Zhixun said with a complicated expression, "I didn't attack him, there's nothing I can do about it."
The one-eyed bandit was both shocked and furious: "But I clearly saw that you had a golden barrier around you!"
Xu Zhixun explained, "That's a fairy's defensive barrier. It will automatically activate when attacked by an enemy."
[Ding!]
System prompt:
The defensive barrier lasts for 24 hours.
The cost of the defensive barrier is 1 million RMB.
The 1 million yuan will be deducted from the host's bank card.
[Ding!]
Payment successfully deducted!
The host's China Construction Bank card balance is 4,198,478.00 yuan.
Xu Zhixun: "..."
Ugh, system, why are defensive barriers so expensive?
Time-Space Supermarket System: [Dear host, there is an electric current in the defensive barrier. Enemies attacking you will die in ten seconds.]
Therefore, defensive barriers are particularly expensive.
Xu Zhixun was on the verge of tears and could only say to Long Qian, "Long Qian, I've really lost out by coming to Black Wind Stronghold!"
Long Qian frowned deeply: "Why? Weren't you uninjured?"
Xu Zhixun's face fell:
"Aaaaaah, the defensive barrier is so expensive! 1 million! I just had 1 million deducted from my savings!"
Yao Zhentian asked with a complicated expression, "How much is 1 million?"
