Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 364 - 139: Turning the Hand Brings Rain, Demon Li Yuan
After spending a long time with Lady Yan, Li Yuan understood... a ghost shop, the more ghost coins it earned, the stronger it would become.
Nowadays, Lady Yan had grown much stronger, and the production of her "Human Skin Handcuffs" was also increasing, from originally producing two or three every two months to now producing five or six.
And Lady Yan could quietly take down half the handcuffs for him, which was already like "abandoning half of her martial arts abilities."
After all, the price of "Human Skin Handcuffs" was really high, and since it was a unique item of the general store, it would attract a large number of "wealthy wanderers" to spend there.
There was also some subtle trickery from Lady Yan, as she would irregularly put the "Human Skin Handcuffs" on the shelf, forcing those who wanted to buy it to "try their luck" entering the general store.
If they were unlucky and couldn’t buy the "Human Skin Handcuffs," they had to spend at least one cent and four cents to leave.
If it was known that the general store had no "Human Skin Handcuffs" to sell, not to mention anything else, the reputation would be tarnished, and daily sales would surely decrease.
So after Li Yuan and Lady Yan discussed it, they gave up on the idea of a "monopoly."
After all, the things in a mere general store were actually nothing compared to all the ghost shops.
Various thoughts flashed through, Li Yuan embraced his woman and said, "I will avenge you."
Cui Huayin was silent for a moment, feeling a kind of inexplicable profundity in her man for the first time.
...
...
After nightfall.
Li Yuan went to Hengwu Restaurant.
Steward Wu, or rather the wanderer named Duan Yangsheng, met Li Yuan.
Li Yuan explained the matter in detail and then discussed some countermeasures.
...
The next day.
Steward Wu rushed into Ghost Street, angrily arriving at the mansion on Mianzhou Ghost Street, and shouted, "How could you let that lecher Xue Li take the Human Skin Handcuffs to find Cui Huayin?!
Are you all crazy?!!
Xue Li is dead!
Master Li learned everything from Cui Huayin’s mouth!
He also knows the filthy words Xue Li said to Cui Huayin!
Saying something about being her master and making her do whatever he wanted, hah!
Why didn’t you send a female Sixth Grade to execute this task, why send Xue Li instead?!
Now look, Master Li was originally willing to leave with me, but now... you’ve ruined everything!"
"How did Xue Li... die?"
"You didn’t investigate?"
"This is the heart of the Divine Wood Hall, any big commotion would quickly draw their people, we didn’t dare to check it out." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"Unexpectedly, besides being a Weapon Forger, Master Li is also an excellent Demon Tamer. He tamed a Sixth Grade Demon Beast to guard Cui Huayin! Xue Li was bitten to death by the dog he tamed!"
"A Demon Tamer!!"
The speaker suddenly stood up, eyes filled with shock.
How could one person have so much talent?
Both a Weapon Forger and a Demon Tamer.
This... Master Li’s value is simply unimaginable!
It should be known, a Sixth Grade Weapon Forger can forge a Fifth Grade Spiritual Artifact, even... those half-step Fourth Grade artifacts from Residual Array.
And as a Demon Tamer, theoretically, as long as a Skill Book is available, it’s not impossible to tame a Fifth Grade Demon Beast at Sixth Grade.
If so, this Master Li is simply...
The person speaking was initially troubled over the death of a Sixth Grade Xue Li, but now he felt that compared to Master Li, losing a Sixth Grade was nothing.
He cautiously asked, "Master Li... knows everything?"
Steward Wu said, "Are you kidding me? Master Li came to me last night, and he was very angry!
I’m angry too!
Are you all pigs?
Master Li was initially willing to leave with me, but you messed it up, all is over now!"
Steward Wu bared his teeth, looking like he would hit someone, and then harshly questioned, "Why send Xue Li? Was it to let Xue Li have a taste first with Princess Consort Yin? Whose idea was it?!
This matter, I will definitely report it to the higher-ups, let them find out who messed this up!"
The speaker was a gloomy man, with a sickly white skin all over his body, slightly withered hair hanging down, covering lifeless eyes.
This man was an old hand wanderer from Mianzhou Path, named Liang Ku.
Liang Ku’s expression fluctuated, thought for a moment, and asked, "What do you think we should do to salvage this?"
Steward Wu said, "Sincerity."
"What sincerity?" Liang Ku asked.
Steward Wu replied, "Who proposed sending Xue Li to control Princess Consort Yin?"
Liang Ku said, "It was Xue Li’s younger brother, Xue Sa. One is a wanderer, and the other is a Sixth Grade Independent Practitioner."
"He suggested it and you followed?"
Liang Ku was silent for a long time and said, "My mistake, what do you want to do?"
Steward Wu said, "Hand Xue Sa over to Master Li, let Master Li kill him, and thus exchange for a Weapon Forger and a Demon Tamer."
Liang Ku said, "Won’t Master Li think we’re just sending a scapegoat randomly?"
"Xue Sa and Xue Li are blood brothers, this can be investigated, moreover... Master Li still has some level of trust in me." Steward Wu frowned and said, "If we don’t kill Xue Sa, Xue Sa has already made an enemy of Master Li. Do you want to let this fool cause Master Li to completely part ways with us? If you don’t want this credit, I do!"
Liang Ku thought for a while and said, "I’ll control Xue Sa first and wait for instructions from above."
"Waiting for your news!"
Steward Wu stormed out.
Liang Ku gazed absentmindedly at a certain spot, as if making a decision or pondering.
...
...
Days later.
Hengwu Restaurant, basement.
A frail man was tightly bound to a wooden pillar.
In the dim light, Li Yuan sat with a broad gesture, his limp left hand holding five ropes, attached to collars on the other end were five demon dogs the size of small mountains.
Their ghostly emerald green pupils shone in the dark, particularly sinister and ferocious.
This is Black Marquis.
Three were brought from Shanbao County, and two were later added.
At this moment, all five demon dogs were licking their lips, drooling, and smacking their mouths, staring at the man on the wooden pillar.
The man’s eyes were filled with fear and regret. He wanted to plead for mercy, but his mouth was gagged, and his pants were already wet, dripping a foul-smelling liquid from the trouser legs.
This man was Xue Sa.
Li Yuan released the ropes.
All five Black Marquis rushed forward, pouncing on Xue Sa, and started violently biting.
Li Yuan sighed and said, "Actually, I understand, you were making efforts for the advancement of you and your brother.
After all... controlling someone as significant as Cui Huayin, you would also rise with her, slowly entering the upper echelons. I completely understand..."
He stood up, amid the man’s painful "mmm, mmm" sounds, and said another line, "So, I hope you can understand me too."
Crack...
The man’s neck was bitten broken.
His head was torn off by one of the Black Marquis, rolling to one side, eyes still wide with terror staring at Li Yuan.
...
...
A moment later.
Li Yuan led the five Black Marquis out of Hengwu Restaurant boldly, walking in the bustling market, drawing waves of exclamations such as "Master Li is actually a Demon Tamer too."
