The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 676: The Final Exchange_1

Zi Ling was caught in a whirlwind of indecision.

The dim lighting of the hallway, accompanied by the faint scent of perfume, made her unconsciously keep her voice down and furrow her brow in delicacy, exuding an aura of tender beauty.

Li Qing leaned against the doorframe, waiting patiently, while taking the opportunity to admire the beauty that made his heart skip a beat with just an extra glance.

Her demeanor and reactions had already made everything clear.

Though he hadn’t had the chance to ask his bargain master about the uses of the three types of Demon Spirit Elixir, Zi Ling’s struggle to the point of nearly wanting to strangle herself was a clear sign of their immense value.

And he had really taken a loss.

He hoped it wasn’t too severe, or he might really end up crying himself to faint in the bathroom.

Getting those two bottles of Elixir was no small feat.

It was okay to give away the less valuable ones, but if they were extremely expensive, it would truly be painful.

"Fine, I agree," Zi Ling said calmly after a long struggle, her cheeks tinged with a flush.

Though she truly resisted letting Li Qing kiss her twice more, we’re talking about the Demon Spirit Elixir here.

With the financial resources of her sect, she didn’t know how many years it would take to afford such an Elixir, and even with the money, it wasn’t guaranteed to be available. These were incredibly rare and scarce.

Normally, they would only be seen at auctions.

And at auction, with their strength, it would be very difficult to win the bid.

Compared to this bottle of Demon Spirit Elixir and the slightly different Immortality Elixir, another two kisses from Li Qing... she could barely accept it.

She would consider it akin to being bitten by a mosquito.

After all, she had already been kissed once; as long as she was careful not to let this bastard touch her randomly again, it would be fine.

Just two kisses, it’s not like she would lose a few pounds of flesh, there was nothing to fear.

Upon hearing her answer, Li Qing felt only a slight excitement, the rest was more regret.

Damn it all, he had really thrown away a treasure as if it were trash.

Such a profligate waste!

Zi Ling’s reactions had made things abundantly clear.

If she didn’t care about being kissed by him, she wouldn’t have hesitated for so long.

The real reason for her struggle was simply that the Elixir was too good, and she didn’t want to be kissed...

This calamity was his own doing, and Li Qing really wanted to slap himself twice for it.

Although it was painful, what’s said is said, and what’s done is done. He had to accept it, "So when will the remaining two kisses be?"

"Whenever you like, I... I’m okay with it," Zi Ling said, her face blushing, pretending to be composed.

"If you want to kiss me now, I can accept that, but let me make it clear, you can’t do anything else."

Li Qing readily agreed, "Let’s save those two for another day. I can still savor today’s kiss for a while. When I almost can’t remember what kissing you feels like, you can give me a refresher. But you won’t go back on your word, will you?"

Zi Ling’s face turned even redder at Li Qing’s blunt and cheesy romantic words, "What... What are you talking about? There’s nothing to savor, you rogue. I definitely won’t go back on my word; I’m not like you, who goes back on his promises."

"You can’t blame me for that. Who knew that the Elixir was so valuable before?" Li Qing shrugged.

"For a woman who loves but cannot obtain, perhaps this shameless method is the only way to reminisce, where a kiss can last for a month or so."

Zi Ling’s cheeks blushed even more.

She was so embarrassed and uneasy that she didn’t dare to look up at Li Qing. His words were like thunderous strikes to her heart, making her feel flustered, a sense of indescribable stuffiness, yet she recalled the scene in the bathroom where Li Qing had touched her earlier that day.

That feeling... was actually quite comfortable.

"You really can say anything, can’t you? If you’re not going to kiss me now, then I’ll... I’ll just leave," Zi Ling stammered, practically fleeing from Li Qing’s office.

"Wait, the Talisman, give me the Talisman!" Li Qing hastily called out.

"Take it!" Zi Ling, her face burning, flipped around, threw the Talisman at Li Qing, and ran off.

"How does this thing work?" Li Qing shouted.

"I’ll text you the incantation later, just read it from there," Zi Ling yelled back without turning her head.

In the blink of an eye, she had disappeared.

She couldn’t stay any longer; her pants were about to get wet again.

If that bastard Li Qing saw her wet pants, who knows what he’d think...

Although it was really the memory of today’s scene in the restroom that caused her to react.

But she would never admit it.

Li Qing shook his head and studied the Invisibility Talisman in his hand.

It looked like an ordinary talisman, not much different from those drawn by Mr. Yin and Yang, just seemingly made of better material. Such a simple talisman could actually make someone invisible, just like the rumors said.

The world of cultivators was truly magical.

After carefully pocketing the Invisibility Talisman, Li Qing left the Impression Hotel, hailed a taxi, and rushed to the medicinal market.

Late at night on the streets of Tongcheng, only the blindly meandering night cabs proved that the city was still alive.

Besides them, hardly any other vehicles or pedestrians could be seen.

After getting off at the medicinal market, Li Qing looked at the familiar alley and felt a bit dazed.

It seemed like he hadn’t been to this place in a long time.

He met Yu Baishuo because he happened to know that Wenguan Leaves were valuable.

When it came down to it, his fortunes changed because of Wenguan Leaves and Yu Baishuo.

Both of them played a significant role in his life.

But, Yu Baishuo had a husband, so their relationship was bound to not last long.

Yu Baishuo’s warehouse was still the same as before, and Li Qing stood at the street corner and took out his phone to send Zi Ling a message.

"Where’s the incantation, Ancestor?"

"Ah... that, I forgot," came Zi Ling’s quick reply.

Moments later, a picture was sent.

Zi Ling had taken a screenshot.

Li Qing enlarged the image and was startled.

This young lady was actually watching an adult movie featuring a man and a woman in action.

In the top right corner of the screenshot, one could clearly see the minimized window.

"You actually forgot to send me the incantation because you were watching that kind of adult movie?" Li Qing texted Zi Ling, utterly shocked.

Zi Ling went silent.

She was now in a state of self-imposed isolation...

In fact, she had withdrawn the message after realizing it.

But she hadn’t expected Li Qing to open the picture so quickly and see all that stuff.

After a long while, a clean screenshot was sent over again.

Beyond that, Zi Ling didn’t say another word, let alone answer Li Qing’s question.

Li Qing chuckled, never having imagined that the seemingly innocent Zi Ling would have such a hobby.

This was genuine leverage.
