--- Chapter 260 ---
After having breakfast with the Star Luo Empire's Princess, Huo Yuhao and the ladies continued their date around the Sky Feather City. They went to a shopping district and bought some clothes, which he had to carry as the only man in the group.
Thankfully, Qianye Ying'er and Scathach's taste in clothing is very particular, or else they would have bought a whole boutique.
As the two ladies browsed through the merchant's rare clothes, he was attracted to Luck Qi nearby. It was small and dimmer compared to his Luck but shining brightly in the pile of random goods.
Huo Yuhao dug through the useless goods and discovered a worn-out copper ring. At first glance, this ring is nothing special, but he could see more because he was the God of Fortune.
If Huo Yuhao owned this ring, it could lead him to a rare treasure.
"How much for this ring?" He asked the merchant.
The merchant was a middle-aged woman wearing a clean brown robe and green hood. She glanced at the worn-out copper ring and said, "Three copper coins."
"What about their dress?" He pointed at Scathach and Qianye Ying'er.
"Ten golds." She answered flatly, leaving no room to bargain.
"..." Huo Yuhao was speechless. The contrast in their shopping cost is somewhat overwhelming.
Then, again, Huo Yuhao only bought a worn-out copper ring, while Qianye Ying'er and Scathach bought three to five sets of silk garments. Handing the money to the merchant helplessly, Huo Yuhao and the two ladies left the shopping district leisurely.
They also stopped by food stalls from time to time and ordered some food for Shrek Academy's people. They must have extreme hangovers after yesterday's intense fight.
Someone crashed into Huo Yuhao and apologized, "Sorry."
But not even a second later, that person disappeared into the crowds.
"Seriously, it's not even an hour yet." Huo Yuhao patted his pocket and chuckled because his Luck's effect was too damn strong. Not only did he get pickpocketed, but the thief also stole his worn-out copper ring.
Scathach and Qianye Ying'er obviously noticed the blatant pickpocketing in the middle of the day and stared at Huo Yuhao weirdly. At his level, a pickpocketer shouldn't be able to touch him.
Huo Yuhao smiled and explained, "I let it happen."
"Follow me. I want to see what that thief had for me."
Scathach and Qianye Ying'er glanced at each other before following Huo Yuhao with some curiosity. They arrived at the small alley and saw the thief sitting above a wooden box with a smile.
"One hundred golds, not bad." The thief said while throwing and catching Huo Yuhao's pouch he stole a few moments ago.
"Obviously, it's one hundred golds. You can live up to three years in the countryside without worrying about money." A voice suddenly appeared beside the thief.
The thief awkwardly moved his gaze to the wooden box beside him and saw Huo Yuhao casually sitting with a meat skewer in his hand.
"Yo!" Huo Yuhao greeted like he was the thief's acquaintance.
Yet the thief felt nothing but horror at the moment.
The thief wanted to run away, sprawling off the wooden boxes and crashing into an invisible wall.
Huo Yuhao chuckled, "You can't run away. Don't worry, Thief Bro. I will spare your life if you have something interesting for me."
The thief cursed his damned Luck because he pickpocketed someone he couldn't afford to offend. When he sees Huo Yuhao, his first thought is this handsome young master deserves to get robbed.
He was also jealous when seeing Scathach and Qianye Ying'er with Huo Yuhao, so he wanted to teach the handsome young master a life lesson.
However, who would have thought that his impulsive thought bit him back on the ass?
The thief suddenly kowtowed and smacked his head against the ground three times. "Please, please spare my life, oh great master!"
"I will return your money. No, I will even add all my money to you!"
Huo Yuhao shook his head gently, "I don't need the money."
"You stole from me, and I got something in return? Isn't that fair?" His blue eyes spotted something interesting that belonged to the thief.
The thief felt Huo Yuhao's gaze and hesitantly pulled a knife case out of his sleeve. Huo Yuhao could tell the connection between the worn-out copper ring and the knife case and nodded in satisfaction.
The knife case has ten times more Luck Qi, though.
"Thank you for the gift." Huo Yuhao grabbed the knife case and left the alleyway.
The thief was sweating buckets and immediately ran away. He didn't dare to stay in the alleyway any longer. From now on, he wouldn't dare to pickpocket someone like Huo Yuhao, even if he was jealous.
...
Scathach and Qianye Ying'er watched the thief leave hastily but were still puzzled by Huo Yuhao's action. They stared at the knife case in his hand and frowned because they could sense Luck Qi inside it.
"You went through all that for a knife?" Scathach squinted her red eyes as she also sensed a bloodthirsty presence from the knife case.
"It also cursed. Do you want me to purify it?" Qianye Ying'er added while raising her hand, which glows with a golden gleam.
Huo Yuhao fiddled with the case, "Wait a minute."
After opening the case, Huo Yuhao slowly pulled a 27-centimeter-long knife with a red blade and gray handle. It has an ominous dak-red aura and intense resentment toward something.
On the hilt, three characters were 'meticulously' carved in.
Underworld Killing Impulse!
[Name: Underworld Killing Impulse]
[Type: Carving Knife/Weapon]
[Grade: S+]
[Description: A Carving Knife made with gnawing mineral that swallowed living flesh and drunk blood. It has killed so many souls and developed property that stole life energy but has yet to mature because of the wielder's low skill]
[Can be used as a melee weapon and Carving Knife to construct Soul Guidance Weapon's arrays]
[Underworld Killing Impulse is ranked 69th in the Douluo Continent's Carving Knife Leaderboard]
"Ranked 69th? Nice." Huo Yuhao didn't expect him to get a jackpot. The thief probably thought this knife was a little cooler and more powerful than others, but there is much secret to it.
Not to mention, Underworld Killing Impulse can steal life energy like the Carving Knife that the original Huo Yuhao obtained in the auction. Still, Underworld Killing Impulse is inferior because of the material and the maker's low achievement in weapon making.
Even then, Huo Yuhao was confident he could turn this Carving Knife into a god-slaying weapon. He possessed Divine Blacksmith Class, Pagma's Incarnation, after all.
Before that, Huo Yuhao needed to purify the Underworld Killing Impulse first. After that, he might choose another Divine-grade Class to master related to knife-wielding.
"Purify this for me, Ying'er." Huo Yuhao handed the Carving Knife to his lover.
Qianye Ying'er nodded and picked up the Carving Knife. She draws a bit of her Divinities and uses them to cleanse the corrupted weapon.
The bloodthirsty Carving Knife has become tamer and somehow regained a crimson blade. Checking the system panel, Huo Yuhao discovered that Underworld Killing Impulse has gained 'Light Attribute' due to Qianye Ying'er.
"Thank you." Huo Yuhao received the Carving Knife back and caressed the blade with his finger.
"You're welcome." Qianye Ying'er was more than happy to use her power for him.
They returned to the Dreamy Goose Hotel and met with the disgruntled Shrek Academy's people in the Longue.
"We bought food for you guys." Huo Yuhao placed piles of food on the table. "Eat it, and recover some energy."
"Thank you, Yuhao..." They tried to sound excited.
Well, they are still tired.
Zhang Lexuan rubbed her eyes and stuffed dumplings into her mouth. She glanced at Huo Yuhao and wondered how he stayed energized after fighting the God of Forest.
Huo Yuhao's stamina made Zhang Lexuan think deeply.
'If we did it, can I last long enough?' Zhang Lexuan's mind somehow went into a lewd territory. Ma Xiaotao and Xiao Xiao also thought similar things. But they decided to bury it with food.
So, the three ladies were blushing while eating.
Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao didn't pay much attention to them as he played with his new toy. He also decided on the next Divine-grade Class to master.
[Ding! You have chosen a new class to master]
[Abyssal Reaper]
