Chapter 397 The Deal
Xiao Yuanyi walked into a room.
The room was empty except for a huge jar.
Xiao Yuanyi walked to the jar and ran her fingers along the edge of the jar.
“Master, haven’t you always wanted to compete with the descendants of the Xu family? I already know her whereabouts; she is currently in the capital.”
Suddenly, a face that had been burned beyond recognition emerged from the jar.
She's not dead!
Xiao Yuanyi looked at that ugly and terrifying face as if admiring it.
"Of course she's not dead. She's different from my master; she's really skilled."
The person inside the jar roared frantically, "Impossible! Impossible! How could she not be dead!"
Xiao Yuanyi looked down at his frenzied state and said, "Master, give me the treasure map in your hand, and I will kill her for you, how about that? You know, raising people is very expensive."
The person inside the jar stared intently at Xiao Yuanyi, "You vile woman! You beast, worse than a pig or a dog! You'll die a horrible death!"
He was so close to being freed.
But this madman rescued him after he was burned by the fire.
She never intended for him to die!
She wanted to torture him to death.
Xiao Yuanyi laughed incessantly, as if she had heard a joke.
She asked with great delight, "If I am a poisonous woman, then Master, what kind of poisonous husband or poisonous Taoist priest are you?"
Looking at the person in the jar who had no will to live, Xiao Yuanyi smiled and said to that face, "But as your disciple, I have to say something to make you happy, Master. The Xu family descendant is now like you, only half a person left. When my people found her, she was missing an arm and a leg. Master, are you any happier to hear about her current miserable state?"
Happiness fuels his will to survive, allowing her to torment him even more!
But the person inside the jar seemed to have gone mad.
"A severed limb! A severed limb! She actually changed someone's fate! She actually succeeded! How! How! How!"
Xiao Yuanyi frowned upon hearing his words, "What do you mean by changing fate? Whose fate did she change!"
The person inside the jar suddenly went mad, banging his head against the edge of the jar with all his might.
Xiao Yuanyi spoke up, "Master, the edge of this jar has already been softened. You won't die from hitting it. Tell me, whose fate did that Xu family descendant change? I might consider killing you."
The person inside the jar was neither human nor ghost; he stared intently at Xiao Yuanyi.
"I'm waiting to see the day you suffer a terrible death."
The people inside the jar began to laugh maniacally.
One minute they're saying it's impossible!
Then he said I was the first one!
Xiao Yuanyi coldly watched the man, who had already gone mad, turn around and walk out.
Gongshu Ling asked, "Princess, should we send someone to capture that descendant of the Xu family?"
Xiao Yuanyi said coldly, "She's under Qin Jinzhi's nose now and can't be touched. Have your men find the treasure map as soon as possible."
"She is a princess."
Xiao Yuanyi left the house.
Outside the clothing store, a person was crouching not far away. This woman had been in the clothing store for an hour. Would there be any problems?
He looked at the person who hadn't come out of the inner room for a long time and thought to himself, "This is bad."
Immediately walk into the clothing store.
As soon as I entered, I saw Xiao Yuanyi lift the curtain.
Xiao Yuanyi frowned immediately upon seeing him. "Why are there men here?"
The shopkeeper rushed over upon hearing the noise and said to the man, "I'm sorry, sir, our shop does not serve male customers."
The person said sorry and turned to leave.
A mocking glint flashed in Xiao Yuanyi's eyes.
After loading all the clothes onto the carriage, Xiao Yuanyi visited a few more shops.
They slowly walked into a rouge shop.
The shopkeeper, dressed as a peacock as always, was also taken aback when he saw Xiao Yuanyi's face.
The last time he saw such a stunningly beautiful woman was the princess who almost beat him to death.
Xiao Yuanyi walked gracefully over and said very gently, "I want to see Qian Suihong."
The smile that Hua Kongque had just put on froze on his face. Now he was even a little afraid to tell people that he was Qian Sui Hong.
Xiao Yuanyi smiled and her eyes crinkled as she looked at him. "Don't worry, I don't have the habit of tearing down other people's shops. I know you're not Qian Sui Hong."
He took a step back. "What do you want with her?"
Xiao Yuanyi smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I've done business with her before, so I'm looking for her to do business."
Xiao Yuanyi placed a jade pendant on the table. "I'll wait for her here."
The peacock carefully picked up the jade pendant and went upstairs.
The moment Qian Suihong saw the jade pendant, she stood up immediately.
"You said the owner of this jade pendant is looking for me!"
The peacock immediately became alarmed, "Sister, who is this person?!"
Qian Suihong's expression was solemn. "The number of women being bought and sold on the black market surged before because my father made a deal with the people of Bliss. Now that the princess has eliminated Bliss, there are still people who dare to come to our door with this jade pendant."
The peacock immediately said, "I will send someone to tell the princess right away."
Qian Suihong stopped him, saying, "Since this person dared to come, she must have been prepared. I'll meet her first."
Hua Kongque welcomed Xiao Yuanyi into the room, and Qian Suihong was also quite shocked by the beauty of Xiao Yuanyi's face.
Even more shockingly, the person behind this paradise was actually a woman!
Qian Suihong asked without changing his expression, "What brings you here, Your Excellency?"
Xiao Yuanyi sat down opposite Qian Suihong. "Should I be called Qian Suihong now, or the Lord of the Black Market?"
Qian Suihong poured her a cup of tea. "The Paradise has been eradicated, yet you still dare to come to the capital. You have quite the audacity. Aren't you afraid I'll tell the princess?"
Xiao Yuanyi smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. That's a grudge between me and Qin Jinzhi. I'm here today only to make a deal with you."
Chisui Hong raised her eyes, "The black market will no longer engage in the business of buying and selling people."
Xiao Yuanyi leaned back in her chair. "Are you really willing to be Qin Jinzhi's dog? If the black market didn't do these kinds of business, how would you survive? Does Qin Jinzhi even care about your lives?"
Chisui Hong smiled and said, "If you can stand in the light and be a human, who would want to be a ghost in the shadows?"
Xiao Yuanyi looked into Qian Suihong's eyes and said, "Oh dear, don't worry. I won't force you if you don't want to do this kind of business. I'm here to do another business with you."
Chitose Hong asked warily, "What?"
Xiao Yuanyi smiled and said, "I need you to help me transport a batch of refined iron."
Qian Suihong said coldly, "Smuggling refined iron is a capital offense. My entire black market would be at stake if I gave up my life. You should leave quickly, young lady."
Xiao Yuanyi calmly replied, "Three days ago, the black market received several ships of goods, including many precious glass artifacts."
Qian Suihong leaned back alertly, "So what? Getting caught smuggling glass just means you get fined a little money."
Xiao Yuanyi shook her head, "No, no, you should ask your men if there are any trafficked women in that bed."
Qian Suihong immediately frowned, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Yuanyi leaned forward, "If Qin Jinzhi knew you were doing this under her nose, do you think she would forgive you?"
