“Your encouragement will always be with me.” Liu Zhenhan hugged his kind mentor gently, feeling a sense of tranquility in his heart.
Every time he saw Cui Beixi, seemed all the worries in his heart were temporarily dissipating, bestowing him with a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze.
“Richard, what is this?” Cui Beixi’s soft fingers gently felt the long, rectangular package hanging from Liu Zhenhan’s wide back.
“I haven’t yet reported it to you, mentor Cui Beixi, but this is my instrument.” Liu Zhenhan unwrapped the package on his back and revealed the instrument concealed under the leather sheath.
The serpent woman gazed at the jade-shaped top instrument with a unique plucked string.
The complex patterns on the leather drum and the massive magic crystal caught her attention.
“Kampas!” The instant the serpent woman touched it, she abruptly raised her head and uttered softly, “Hell Black Dragon skin and dragon crystal!
Aren’t you afraid it’s too conspicuous?”
“Regrettably, I only had a small piece of this dragon skin, just enough to make this one instrument.” Liu Zhenhan replied respectfully.
“What is this?” From the jade-shaped top of the String Instrument, the serpent woman extracted a thin dagger that emitted a cold glare.
“As a shaman ‘executing war songs’, it’s only natural that my instrument conceals a dagger.” Liu Zhenhan lifted the hem of his shaman robe and on the belt around his waist lay a neat row of daggers.
“That’s terrifying.” The serpent woman touched her chest.
“This instrument produces a very pleasant sound.” Helen smiled from the side.
“Shall I give you a demonstration?” Liu Zhenhan adjusted the strings and seemed eager to try.
The serpent woman curiously nodded her head.
“A lonely bullet stands at the cave entrance, I pretend you haven’t yet left behind the cave,
Revisiting the same place, can the full moon feel lonely,
Who is playing the melody ‘Cat Ear Cave’ with the strings,
As time leaves a mark on the gun, seeing the hour of the child,
Always remember in those years, we were still so young…”
The familiar melody from years ago flowed gently from Liu Zhenhan’s strings, together with the tranquil river.
The lonely and graceful sound of the strings seemed to be telling a story of a war-torn world, concise yet full of endless longing.
“It’s great, really wonderful.” The serpent woman’s gaze towards Liu Zhenhan was changing.
The coarse and ugly exterior of this disciple, like a bottle of aged wine slowly revealing its distinctive characteristics, aroused the curiosity of this illustrious Scepter Shaman.
Liu Zhenhan drew a long sigh, fell silent, and slowly turned his body.
A teary gleam flickered in his eyes.
At that moment, he thought of his brother, and all their past times.
“There’s not much else to say.
I entrust her to you for her care.” Liu Zhenhan gritted his teeth, bowed deeply to Cui Beixi, stood up straight, kissed Helen’s face, cast her a deep look, forced a smile, and walked directly towards the direction where Ning Yu, Avril, and the pandas were waiting.
A pair of delicate hands held him back, stopping him from turning away.
“Why do you have to leave me?
Dear Richard…” The little fox stared affectionately at Liu Zhenhan: “Mentor Cui Beixi can’t protect me forever, only you can.”
Liu Zhenhan startled for a moment then tightly embraced Helen.
The serpent woman tutor had a lot to say initially, but now, she couldn’t utter a word.
“If only we had been this strong back in the day.” The serpent woman sighed quietly at the bottom of her heart.
***********************************
Liu Zhenhan’s gains from Witherspoon this time could be described as a major windfall.
A massive windfall of troubles.
This time, Prince Richard had learned his lesson and didn’t want to go shopping with them again, which left Liu Zhenhan feeling a pinch of disappointment.
In desperation, he decided to use his most valuable possessions to earn some money.
When he went to find Mr.
Rogge again, the treasures he took out nearly shocked the well-informed human boss into dropping his eyeballs on the table.
Rogge looked at Liu Zhenhan suspiciously, holding the crown of the Dark Elf Queen, secretly thinking to himself: this is a crown made from seven-degree gold from the underground!
Could it be that this servant stole the prince’s belongings to sell?
“Take a look at this one, too.” Liu Zhenhan pulled out another crown.
It was Avril’s crystal crown.
He also pulled out a bunch of black crystals he found on the Dark Elf Queen.
“My God… Is this a crown made of crystals from the Icebound Sea?
And is this the Netherworld Black Crystal from the deep dark underground?” Rogge’s eyes got bloodshot again, and he once again affirmed his suspicion that this fellow was a thief trying to sell stolen goods.
“Now look at this.” Liu Zhenhan then took out the colored egg Prince Richard gave Helen.
“A Beamon King’s gem-encrusted colored egg?” Rogge sneered, pushing all the stuff back to Liu Zhenhan. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on N0veI.Fiɾe.net
“Why don’t you want them?” Liu Zhenhan was desperate for money.
How would he survive in that desolate place without a castle or a house?
He couldn’t just sleep in the wild, could he?
And he didn’t have any livestock to herd.
His whole sustenance depended on these items.
Rogge couldn’t openly admit that he dared not accept stolen property.
Instead, he played a trick: “Sir, your goods are too expensive.
Even the noblest of the nobles could have their pride shattered by the collection.
My shop is not big enough to afford such expensive ‘royal collections’.
If you can bring something a bit more common, I wouldn’t mind exchanging it for you.”
The human boss stressed the words “royal collection” loudly.
“Do you buy scrap copper?” Liu Zhenhan thought about the Golden Figure he had damaged.
“We human traders are most interested in trading for furs, magic crystals, and orc slaves of the Bimon Kingdom.
As for anything else, we’re not interested.
What do we do with scrap copper?
It would be too heavy to transport back to the human kingdom!” Mr.
Rogge rolled his eyes.
Liu Zhenhan was dizzy.
He only had a few valuable things at his disposal, he couldn’t exchange this, and that couldn’t be exchanged either.
How would he survive?
“Fuck you!” Liu Zhenhan took out the Wolf Fang Club and slapped it on the table, “This thing is short in weight, refund me!”
you’re resorting to hooliganism now.” Mr.
Rogge sneered, his body fat shaking with it: “Lord Langnadu of the Noble Inspection Court and Captain Carlos of the City Defense Team are selecting goods in the next room.
Would you like me to call them over?”
“I should add that our human weights and measures are different from those of the Beamons.
You didn’t ask me, and I forgot to mention it to you.” Mr.
Rogge waved his chubby finger, and immediately a waiter ran over to the next room, while the boss grinned maliciously.
Gude grabbed the waiter’s throat, lifting him off the ground, and the boss’s smile immediately ceased.
“General Pan, stand down.” Ning Yu said to Gude.
Gude loosened his grip on the waiter, who clutched his throat.
The veins on his neck were exposed from the choking.
Ning Yu took off a jade pendant from her neck and gently put it into Liu Zhenhan’s hand, gently patting it.
“Don’t make any more trouble, Richard.” Ning Yu looked up at Liu Zhenhan.
Liu Zhenhan clenched the jade pendant in his hand.
The jade pendant was warm and pleasant, much like Ning Yu’s thoughtful heart.
Liu hesitated for a while, let out a long sigh, and threw the jade pendant on the counter.
The human trader finally recovered from his shock, let out a couple of sneer, shook his chubby body, and examined the ancient jade pendant for a long time before reluctantly accepting it at a very low price.
Rogge saw that this Beamon was in urgent need of money.
“Next time I come back to redeem, if this jade pendant is gone, I’ll smash all your human traders’ shops.” Liu Zhenhan left a harsh word before leaving.
Rogge watched Liu Zhenhan’s retreating figure and spitefully flipped him off.
“This thing is pretty good.” The sneaky human trader touched the jade pendant in his hand, sniffed it against his nose, it had the scent of a beautiful woman on it.
The money exchanged for the jade pendant was only enough to buy some necessary food and a few hundred Larza beasts for grazing.
After that, they had almost nothing left.
Liu Zhenhan felt his castle dream shattered bit by bit.
All that was left in his mind was an enormous wasteland filled with countless straw sheds.
