Chapter 30: The Object of Contention

  Her eyes fell on the perfume bottle in her hand, but she was still hesitant in her heart.

  Although Sai Gunzi said that this perfume bottle is magical, but if it's just relying on this perfume bottle to make them not want to kill themselves, then how can they be made to shed tears? I should ask for another tear-inducing treasure, shouldn't I?

  "Saiguo Chen, come out quickly!" I shouted again with a loud voice, but this time he didn't come, instead a white paper suddenly floated down from the air.

  A piece of white paper fell on the ground, and surprisingly, there was a line of black brush characters written on it: "Special circumstances can only be invoked once, multiple times are invalid, remember carefully!"

  Ugh... what a pain in the neck! I couldn't help but feel frustrated in my heart, and Sai Guangchen didn't even wait for me to ask him about things clearly before he ran off. Now he's reminding himself not to call out to me again?!

  Do I really have to be so stupid and go straight to the Death Angel? Or should I go shopping at a store with weapons tomorrow and see if there's any good equipment? This task guide is not powerful, I can only hope that I can buy better equipment.

  Jin Hongbao once said that the store called Tiehuang was the best weapon shop in the entire Huaiyu small town.

  Originally, I also wanted to bring Jin Hongbao along, but he and his fiancée Yuan Xiangqin are a very strange couple, always liking to bicker, sometimes parting on bad terms, while other times sticking together like chewing gum.

  Today, Jin Hongbao was taken away by Yu Xiangqin to talk about love, but Jin Hongbao is still a good friend and gave me a stack of silver. Before leaving, he said: "Think about how much you want to spend and spend it freely, if it's not enough, just report my name, they will naturally know!"

  It gives me a feeling of having a rich friend, it's really great!

  Originally, I didn't want Jin Hongbao's money either, but relying solely on selling the gemstones would take too long. So, I handed over all the remaining gemstones to Jin Hongbao and asked him to have them processed before reselling, which should be more valuable.

  Jinhongbao has been taken in and still looks happy. This slightly calmed my originally uneasy heart.

  The entire storefront of Tiehuang is painted black, with a long rectangular design that stretches outwards, giving the impression of being very spacious. At the entrance, a sign hangs with two large characters written in bold and flowing strokes: "Tiehuang".

  Then, from inside can be heard the sound of knocking on silverware, and also the crackling sound of fire burning.

  I brought Xiong Xiaotu and Min Xi together to see the weapons.

  As for weapons, I'm not very familiar with them either. Moreover, in the future, they will also need to serve themselves, so it's only natural that they should choose a more suitable weapon for themselves.

  "Are you going to make a name for yourself in the martial arts world?" Min Xi looked at me and finally asked out his doubt.

  At first, I just said to take a casual stroll, and it was when we were about to leave that I called Min Xi over. As for Min Xi, I could only introduce him as my distant cousin, but Jin Hongbao, who is quite stubborn, still believed me.

  Alright, I admit it was my own evil intention to use Min Xi as a shield without even bothering to explain beforehand.

  "No..." I shook my head, deliberately prolonging the tone, with a glint in my eye, excitedly declaring: "It's to take you all on an adventure through Jianghu!"

  What a joke, I'm a girl, what's the point of being in this Jianghu?! It's all because of Sai Guangchen, who entrusted me with the task of capturing the handsome guy. Before heading to the Death Angel Ghosts, I need to prepare the best equipment or see if there are any escape artifacts that can help me safely retreat when I'm not strong enough to win.

  "Alright!" Xiong Xiaotu excitedly jumped up and down, completely disregarding his image.

  Although Xiong Xiaotu looks like an adult, he still has the mind of a beastman and is happy to be carefree without knowing how to pretend.

  Min Xi looked at Xiong Xiaotu and then at me, finally, from the originally pursed lips, spat out two cold words: "Boring!"

  Even if I understand that Mian Xi has many dissatisfactions in her heart, but I am not possible to pity her, because now my situation is even more special than hers, I must collect enough 108 beauties, only then can I return to the real world.

  Her mind was made up, and her gaze fell on Min Xi Ming's obviously displeased face. She began to fiddle with the ring on her wrist again, saying slowly: "You can imagine it as boring, or you can imagine it as interesting. However, if you really think it's very boring, then I don't mind locking you up again!"

  Min Xi's displeasure on his face instantly turned into discontent, and he shouted: "How can you recklessly use your magic, Min has no grudges against you!"

  "I didn't mean to coerce you, it's up to you to know what's good for you." I still say the same old thing, I'd rather die than admit that I'm that "fox" who likes to tease people. And even if I really had no grudges against Min Xi, so what? In this world, the formation of interests is never calculated in such a way. As long as something can be used, it must be utilized; as long as something is useless, it can be discarded at will.

  In this dog-eat-dog otherworldly realm, if I want to secure benefits for myself, I must manipulate these handsome men into doing things for me; otherwise, what can a weak and delicate woman like me do?

  "Great, great!" Min Xi said with her mouth, but her facial expression was not good at all.

  "Welcome to Tie Huang." A handsome young man wearing a shop assistant uniform greeted us with a cheerful tone.

  "Excuse me, is there a better weapon for attacking, defending and escaping?" I asked straightforwardly, wanting to find the weapon I wanted as soon as possible, without any time to slowly choose.

  "So that's how it is! Gentlemen, please follow me this way!" The young man immediately understood and made a gesture, then started leading the way.

  "Thanks for your trouble," said a handsome young man after handing over the task to a woman, and then he stepped down.

  When the girl walked with lotus steps, I immediately felt that my eyes were brightened.

  The woman's skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows like the moon, and a slender, melon-seed-shaped face with a smile that seemed to be born on it, gentle and sweet. Her hair was styled in double butterfly wings, with a frost-colored ribbon hanging straight down, and a pink apron-like skirt that set off her delicate waist.

  "A few noble guests, may I ask how to address you?" The woman called Yan Xiao asked us warmly.

  Just as I was about to introduce myself, looking at Xiong Xiaotu staring at Yan Xiao without blinking, I couldn't help but cough twice, hoping that Xiong Xiaotu could understand and restrain himself.

  Xiong Xiaotu looked at me following the sound, but then said: "Li Rong, her skirt is so beautiful, I think it suits you!"

  Uh, my mind was suddenly filled with black lines. So this bear Xiao Tuo has also learned how to coax girls now? Afraid that I would discover he had a crush on her, he started thinking of ways to change the subject, huh?

  No, Xiong Xiaotuo has finally found someone he likes, I should be happy instead.

  So I put on a smile and walked up to the girl, saying in a friendly manner: "Hello, my name is Yan Lirong, what's yours?"

  To bring together Xiong Xiaotu and Yan Xiao's good things, I immediately became a tomboy and cleverly pushed Yan Xiao in the direction of Xiong Xiaotu.

  "Ah……” Yan Xiao's face turned pale, and she almost fell over. I thought Xiong Xiaotuo would go to support her, but instead, Min Xi gently pushed Xiong Xiaotuo aside and supported Yan Xiao himself, smiling warmly and asking, "Miss, are you okay?"

  Damn it! That despicable Min Xi actually ruined the opportunity I had with Xiong Xiaotu and even stole him from me!
