Baili Hongzhuang had no need for anything else in the market. Her sole purpose was to buy demon crystals, and not just a small quantity... she needed a large amount of them.
There weren't many people selling demon crystals in the market, as many directly handed them over to the Mercenary Guild. After all, besides alchemists, the students of Canglan Academy had little use for demon crystals.
Baili Hongzhuang wandered through the market, searching for a while but couldn't find any vendors selling demon crystals. And even if she did come across some, they were only a few low-grade ones.
Suddenly, Baili Hongzhuang's gaze fell on a stall.
Colorful demon crystals were haphazardly arranged on the stall, while the seller lazily sat in a chair at the back, dozing off.
As soon as the White Lion saw those demon crystals, its eyes widened instantly, filled with desire. Its hands kept digging and scratching, as if it wanted to lie down on top of the pile of demon crystals.
Baili Hongzhuang touched the little head of the White Lion. She couldn't let this little guy eat the crystals right here in the market!
"Behave!" Baili Hongzhuang spoke up.
The White Lion, who was eager to pounce on the crystals, quieted down and obediently lay in Baili Hongzhuang's arms. However, its big watery eyes still yearned for the colorful pile of demon crystals.
Baili Hongzhuang stopped in front of the stall. The seller was a middle-aged man in his forties, with stubble on his face. His hair was messy and unkempt, giving him a dissolute appearance.
Besides the demon crystals, there were some other objects on the stall, but they were all strangely shaped and hard to discern.
This was the strangest stall Baili Hongzhuang had seen so far. The other stalls were selling weapons and such, but this one was too casual.
"Uncle, how much are these demon crystals?" Baili Hongzhuang asked.
The seller, who had been resting, slowly opened his eyes and lazily glanced at Baili Hongzhuang. He said, "Not for sale."
Upon hearing this, even Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but be stunned. If they weren't for sale, why did this person put them on the stall?
"Oh, you're here too. What a coincidence," a sharp female voice sounded from behind Baili Hongzhuang before she could inquire why the demon crystals weren't for sale.
Baili Hongzhuang turned around and, sure enough, saw Ling Jiaxin standing behind her.
Ling Jiaxin was wearing a light yellow chiffon gown, her black hair styled in the most popular bun of the time. Her beautiful face could be considered above average, but the arrogance and malice in her eyes spoiled some of her beauty.
Baili Hongzhuang already knew that Ling Jiaxin held animosity towards her since yesterday, but she didn't bother to find out the reasons behind it. She didn't need to waste her energy on a brainless girl like her.
"I didn't expect to run into you," Baili Hongzhuang lazily replied, a hint of impatience in her clear eyes.
Ling Jiaxin was first taken aback but then burst into laughter, finding it hard to believe that Baili Hongzhuang would show such disrespect.
"Baili Hongzhuang, do you know who I am?" Ling Jiaxin's face turned fierce, and her slightly raised chin carried an air of pride and intimidation, as if she wanted to make Baili Hongzhuang realize her power.
However, Baili Hongzhuang didn't care about it.
"If you want to say something, I can reluctantly listen," Baili Hongzhuang replied with indifference. She had no impression of Ling Jiaxin's name whatsoever.
"It was you who killed Yunyang's sister, Zhiman," Ling Jiaxin's eyes flashed with a sinister and fierce light. She knew Zhiman as well, and she couldn't believe that Zhiman had left the world after just going home for a while.
If it weren't for Luan Jingkun's solemn promise, she would have found it hard to believe!
