25: Chapter 25 Su Xianmei 25: Chapter 25 Su Xianmei “My God!”
“How did Lin Bai manage to kill so many demon beasts!”
“One, two, five…ninety, one hundred and fifty!”
“There are actually a full one hundred and fifty.”
“And these demon beasts, they are all between the fourth level of Martial Arts and the eighth level!”
“When did this useless Lin Bai become so powerful?”
“Strange, wasn’t he considered a waste?”
Lin Bai took out so many demon beast corpses, it scared the people around him.
So many demon beasts, they hadn’t even seen, let alone killed.
“This, this, this…” Ai Lin’s beautiful eyes were startled for a long while before she could react.
Ye Rulong stared at the stacked mountain-like demon beast corpses as if he had seen a ghost, saying, “This is impossible, this is impossible, how can you kill an eighth level demon beast; you are a waste, you are a waste.”
“You needn’t worry about how I killed these demon beasts.
Either way, they’re here now,” Lin Bai said.
“Ai Lin, give me a price.”
Lin Bai smiled lightly.
“With so many demon beasts, I need to get a few sisters to help me.
Only after we’ve counted clear can I give you a quote,” Ai Lin said.
“Okay, you do that,” Lin Bai nodded.
Indeed, with so many demon beasts, Ai Lin alone wouldn’t be able to count them all.
“No need, a total of one hundred fifty demon beasts, our Treasure Pavilion will take them for three thousand spiritual stones.”
Just when Ai Lin was about to go find some help, a woman who looked like a fairy appeared on the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.
This woman, wearing a red cheongsam, with lips like blood, had slender and beautiful eyes.
Her skin was smooth and snow-white.
When she appeared, four words sprung up in everyone’s mind: Truly beautiful.
“Three thousand, just three thousand.
How does the young master feel about this?
“The beautiful woman in the cheongsam walked in front of Lin Bai and said with a light laugh.
Even though there were many demon beasts, Lin Bai knew that they were definitely not worth three thousand.
Why did this woman in a cheongsam appear and directly make an outrageous purchase offer?
Before Lin Bai could answer, Ye Rulong shouted angrily, “What kind of rogue are you, daring to mess around with prices—do these things even worth three thousand spiritual stones?”
“Humph, behaving outrageously in front of me, let me tell you, you’ve caused a lot of trouble today.
I am the young master of the Ye family.”
Hearing Ye Rulong’s words, Lin Bai inwardly cursed him for being an idiot.
This woman, being able to come down from the second floor, clearly had an extraordinary status.
This fool, Ye Rulong, was actually daring to provoke her—wasn’t this just seeking death?
Upon hearing this, Ai Lin immediately shouted angrily, “You are the rogue here.
This is our Treasure Pavilion’s branch shopkeeper, Su Xianmei, one of the eighteen Elders of the Treasure Pavilion!”
“Ye Rulong, if you dare to speak , not just you, your entire Ye family won’t be able to survive.”
Ai Lin scolded angrily.
Ai Lin’s angry reprimand scared Ye Rulong out of his wits.
He hastily fell to his knees and begged for mercy, “Master Su, spare me.
I’ve been speaking nonsense.
Please forgive me, Master Su.”
Su Xianmei smiled, gave Ye Rulong a faint glance, and then lost interest.
“Little one, what do you think, three thousand spiritual stones okay?” Su Xianmei asked Lin Bai with a smile.
“Well, all right then, three thousand it is,” Lin Bai agreed.
Ai Lin glared at kneel-down Ye Rulong, barked, “Now get out of here.”
“Yes, yes, I’ll get out, I’ll get out right away.” Ye Rulong said, as if granted amnesty.
“Hold on, you haven’t done the kowtow yet,” Lin Bai grinned.
“I’ve brought out three thousand spiritual stones now, Ye Rulong.
Isn’t it time for you to kowtow to me?”
Lin Bai stared at Ye Rulong and said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Rulong immediately clenched his teeth and said, “Lin Bai, don’t push your luck!”
“You insisted on bullying me.
Now, it’s time for me to bully you.
Kowtow to me, or you won’t be able to leave the Treasure Pavilion!” Lin Bai said with a cold smile.
Ye Rulong fumed, pointing at Lin Bai, trembling with anger.
Shu Xianmei laughed and said: “Since there was an agreement, it should be implemented accordingly.
Young Master Ye, surely you’re not a sore loser.”
“I…” Ye Rulong’s face distorted with rage.
Whether to kowtow or not, either way was not ideal for him.
A surge of indignation roiled in his heart, causing Ye Rulong to spit blood on the spot.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Ye Rulong knelt and bowed his head three times in lightning-fast succession to Lin Bai: “Lin Bai, remember, I will make you pay a hundred times over for today’s humiliation.”
“Heh heh, I’ll be waiting.” Lin Bai snorted coldly.
Lin Bai held no affection for Ye Rulong.
Ye Rulong was an undisputed spoiled brat, squandering his family’s wealth, wildly enjoying life and exploiting his own townspeople.
Ye Rulong left the Treasure Pavilion enraged.
“Thank you for your generosity, Pavilion Master Su.” Lin Bai thanked Su Xianmei with fists clasped together.
“No worries, I also find Ye Rulong’s arrogance intolerable and also wanted to befriend someone like you.” Su Xianmei said with an indifferent smile.
As Su Xianmei smiled, her charm was irresistible.
Many martial artists within the Treasure Pavilion were smitten.
“I am just an unknown youngster, and I do not see what there is about me that makes me worth befriending.” Lin Bai modestly shook his head and laughed.
“Though you were obscure in Lingxi City, you caused a great stir in the Qingling Mountain range.” Su Xianmei responded with a smile.
Lin Bai touched his nose, instantly realizing the truth.
When it came to gathering information, probably nobody in Lingxi City could compare to the Treasure Pavilion.
Anything that happened within a radius of ten thousand li from Lingxi City, the Treasure Pavilion would be the first to know.
A young man made the reigning hegemony of the prestigious Qingling Mountain Range, the Qingtian Alliance, meet their downfall; this was huge news in Lingxi City.
The Treasure Pavilion naturally had the first scoop on this information about the young man.
“So, Pavilion Master Su, now that you’ve given the Embroidered Sword to our young friend here, we’re squared.” Lin Bai said.
These beasts had earned him a total of three thousand spiritual stones, which was just enough to purchase the Embroidered Sword.
After Su Xianmei gave an indication to Ai Lin, the young man received his Embroidered Sword.
After completing the transaction and exchanging courtesies with Su Xianmei, Lin Bai and the young man left the Treasure Pavilion together.
“Thank you for the antidote.” Lin Bai gratefully thanked the young man.
“Heh heh, I never expected that a few antidotes I refined on the spur of the moment can help you so much.” The young man replied with an innocent smile.
Refined on the spur of the moment?
Lin Bai remembered Lin Yue mentioning that the antidote to the Snake Heart Poison was destroyed when the Snake God Sect was annihilated.
The young man claimed to have casually made a few antidotes?
What was the young man’s real identity?
“Big Brother, I have to go now.
We’ll meet again if we’re fated to.” The young man waved to Lin Bai with a smile, clutching the Rusty Sword and quickly disappearing into the crowd.
“Just what is the background of this youngster, possessing such powerful detoxification skills.
Could he be a poison master?” Lin Bai looked at the youngster’s retreating figure, puzzled.
I should head back and rest now.
Tomorrow is the Disciple Recruitment Conference.”
“Lin Zi’er, it’s about time we settled our accounts.”
