Qiao Suinian examined the bead in her hand. It felt smooth and round, as if it were alive.
"Is this the thing that can directly upgrade a weapon by one tier?" Qiao Suinian muttered to himself.
"Sigh! It's not that magical! The demon pearl needs to be used in conjunction with another item to work; a single demon pearl is useless. If a single demon pearl could upgrade a weapon by one grade, it would have been stolen long ago. How could a mere city lord like me have it?" Chang Yongxin said with a wry smile.
"Oh? What do I need to do with it?" Qiao Suinian asked.
“We need the blood of one of the eight great alien races, the Hell Spirit Race!” Chang Yongxin replied.
Hell Spirit Clan? Qiao Suinian was taken aback. The Hell Spirit Clan was no less powerful than the Abyss Demon Clan, and in some aspects, they were even stronger.
No wonder Chang Yongxin has had the Demon Pearl but hasn't used it. Asking a city lord of Blue Ocean City to hunt down the Hell Spirit Clan is truly a pipe dream.
"Alright, all the questions have been answered, you should go now!" Chang Yongxin urged Qiao Suinian, pushing her along.
"What will you do if I leave?" Qiao Suinian said with a half-smile.
"Hey! I'm the city lord of Blue Ocean City, after all. Baili Pavilion wouldn't dare to do anything to me. Besides, I didn't kill Shi Yushan. What am I afraid of?" Chang Yongxin waved his hand fearlessly.
"You're a pretty nice guy, aren't you? So, Lord Chang, are you interested in cooperating?" Qiao Suinian looked at Chang Yongxin, a new plan forming in his mind.
This newcomer from Changyong is not bad. If you treat someone well, you can reciprocate. Qiao Suinian doesn't mind bringing him along to get some benefits.
"Cooperation? Cooperate on what?" Chang Yongxin asked, somewhat puzzled.
"You'll know once I catch another glaucoma eel," Qiao Suinian said with a mysterious smile, then picked up his stick and went back into the water.
Without Shi Yushan causing trouble this time, Qiao Suinian easily caught a glaucoma eel.
He pinned the glaucoma to the ground, sliced open its head with a knife, and squeezed out an irregular sphere about the size of a little finger.
The sphere appears to be made of gelatinous material, like a rubber ball, and it deforms when squeezed.
"As for the effects of the brain marrow of the glaucoma eel, I think Lord Chang will understand once he experiences it himself." Qiao Suinian directly stuffed the brain marrow into Chang Yongxin's mouth.
Caught off guard, Chang Yongxin swallowed his brains whole: "Brother Ye! What kind of crap did you give me?"
"Of course it's good stuff. By the way, Lord Chang must have a wife, right?" Qiao Suinian asked.
"Of course there is, why are you asking?"
Chang Yongxin frowned in confusion, but he soon understood why Qiao Suinian had asked that question.
As if struck by lightning, an unnamed evil fire suddenly ignited within him, turning Chang Yongxin's entire body red. A plume of white steam continuously rose from the top of his head, demonstrating just how high his body temperature was.
"Holy crap! What's going on?"
Chang Yongxin felt his mouth go dry. He felt as if he had returned to the year he was 18 and first fell in love. He felt that even a steel plate would have a hard time resisting him now.
"Don't ask anymore, let's go home quickly." Qiao Suinian smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Alright! I'll go back first. Wait for me until I'm done, then we can discuss it again! You all wait here for me. If anything happens, just listen to Brother Ye!" Chang Yongxin rushed off in a hurry, without even taking his men with him.
His men looked at each other, puzzled, wondering what had happened.
"Stop standing there like idiots! You, you, you, and you, go find hollow steel pipes, the more the better. You guys come with me, I'll teach you how to catch light-smelling eight-eyed eels," Qiao Sui began issuing orders.
"Brother Ye, shouldn't we wait for the city lord to return?" one of Chang Yongxin's subordinates asked.
"Wait for him?" Qiao Suinian looked up at the sun, which was high in the sky. "Don't worry, from now until dark and then until dawn tomorrow, Lord Chang should not be able to come back."
The subordinates exchanged glances, some of them disbelieving, but Chang Yongxin had told them to listen to Qiao Suinian, so they had no choice but to obey.
On the other side, Chang Yongxin rushed home at almost the fastest speed he had ever seen. As soon as he got home, he pushed his wife onto the bed, and his wife looked displeased.
"What are you doing in broad daylight? Besides, what else can you do besides spitting all over my face?"
"What else can I do? Fine, fine, is this how you talk to me?" Chang Yongxin's forehead veins throbbed. He felt he couldn't wait another second, because another second would be enough to make him explode.
Soon, Chang Yongxin's wife also noticed something was wrong, because today Chang Yongxin was acting like an animal.
"Slow down! Slow down!"
"It won't be any slower! Do you dare talk to me like that again? Huh? Do you dare talk to me like that again? Do you dare? Do you dare? Do you dare?"
"Oops! I won't do it again! I promise I'll never do it again!"
It wasn't until the morning of the next day that Chang Yongxin opened the door and walked out with his head held high, looking triumphant and confident. He felt he had never been so proud in his entire life.
Despite not having slept all night, he wasn't sleepy at all; in fact, he was full of energy.
"Cooperation? So this is what you mean by cooperation, Brother Ye!"
Chang Yongxin, now in a state of enlightenment, suddenly realized that the effects of this light-smelling yakiniku eel were so powerful that it was an absolute treasure for those high-ranking officials whose bodies had been weakened by wine and women.
