章節 67: Esteemed Status
編輯: Misty Cloud Translations
Sweeping her gaze over the two men, Feng Jiu then replied: "I have two more bottles of the medicine with me but I intend to sell them only through an auction, and, any information about me, must not be revealed in the very slightest."
Hearing that there were two more bottles, Overseer Dong's eyes lit up and he smiled widely to say: "Although we are operating a black market here, but without your honourable Sire's consent, we will not leak out any details about our honourable Sire, so our honourable Sire can rest assured."
Feng Jiu nodded and said: " Additionally, I need you to help me find a few types of magical medicine."
Her voice paused a moment before she continued: "And when you manage it, I will gift you with a bottle of Qi Gathering Dew as payment for the effort. Of course, the price of the magical medicine will be separate. I will not shortchange you."
The two men's eyes shone brightly as they quickly asked what kind of magical herbs she wanted them to find.
Finally, Feng Jiu asked for writing materials and she wrote down a list of magical herbs that she needed, handing the list over to them thereafter.
"Honourable Sire, when all the magical are gathered, how do we contact you?" Overseer Dong then asked.
Feng Jiu glanced at him and told him: "I will come back here again some days later, you don't have to worry about that." She brushed off her clothes with her hands and stood up, leaving two bottles of the medicine behind, as she began to stride outside.
"Honourable Sire, please hold your step a moment." Overseer Dong called out once, hurrying to come stand beside the red robed man to hand him a black token. "This here is the black market's black token, a sign of esteem, and I would like our Honourable Sire to accept it."
Hearing that, Feng Jiu reached out her hand to take it and she kept it within her sleeve before she continued on her way out.
Seeing that, the two men scooped the bottles of medicine as they hurried to see the guest out. Once they got outside, they saw Overseer Zhu who was returning with a wide smile on his face.
"Greetings to our honourable Sire." Overseer Zhu bowed hurriedly, his demeanor highly excited, and he looked like he wanted to say something but was stopped by a raised hand.
"All of you do not need to see me off, I'll just tour around the place a little by myself." She stopped them from sending her off and immediately widened her stride to walk away.
The three men saw the figure in red disappear around a corner before they retracted their gaze and indicated their intentions to each other before they all returned back to the private room.
"Quite a number of people have already tried to find out from me what was in the bottle?"
Overseer Zhu the said with a zealous expression on his face: "Although they did not say it clearly, but I am guessing they have guessed that it is medicine. Afterall, only a medicinal concoction can possibly give such astounding effects."
"Do not reveal any details about the honourable Sire to anyone and just make the report to the higher ups in secret." Overseer Dong said in a low voice.
"Do we need to send a few people on his tail?"
"No."
Overseer Dong shook his head. "We have no idea of the man's depth but I know for sure that he is a man we cannot offend. If we send men to follow him, we might just incur his displeasure and we stand to lose everything."
At that moment, Old Deng who had not said a single word all this while suddenly spoke: "The magical herbs state on this list would not be that easy to find I'm afraid."
"Hmm? Why is that?" Overseer Dong turned to look at him. As he wasn't to familiar with herbs, he didn't know much about the uses of the magical herbs in that list as well.
"All these, are very rarely seen in our Sun Glory Country and we will have to source them from other countries." Old Deng said looking at the other two men, his eyes betraying his high spirits. "I am certain, that the gentlemen is definitely a Medical Cultivator! Or, he could even possibly be an Alchemist looking into Pill Refinement!"
"What?"
The two overseers exclaimed in shock: "Alchemist! ? That's such a reverential status, is it even possible? Judging from his voice, he should still be very young, how could he possibly be a Alchemist?"
It was known that Alchemists enjoyed an existence riding right at the pinnacle of Medicinal Cultivators. Not to mention a lowly tiny nine grade country, even within a medium sixth grade country, it would be highly difficult to locate one.
And the person the three men were talking about, was at that moment standing right before the black market's mercenary's mission board, studying the various rewards and bounties offered. Her lips were curled up slightly, revealing a slight smile.
章節 68: Two Powerful Fighters
編輯: Misty Cloud Translations
She had not expected that the bounty for her head had shot up all the way to be the third highest. Tsk tsk, what a surprise!
She was still absorbed in her own thoughts when voices of people talking reached her ears.
"How did that girl in that portrait shoot up into the top three? The bounty has actually reached five hundred thousand! ?"
"You just came back and you must not have been aware. No bounty hunter dares take up that mission now."
"Why is that?"
"Because none of the mercenaries that have taken up that mission had come back alive. In just about two shorts weeks, quite a number of the guys had succumbed to that girl in the portrait."
As the two men conversed, they looked at the flamboyant man dressed in all red and they became curious where one of the men asked: "Is Sire looking to put out a bounty?" Afterall, only the black market mercenaries are able to accept the missions put out on the board.
Feng Jiu turned her eyes back to look at the two men and shook her head with a smile, seeing from out of the corner of her eyes the middle aged man was already walking towards the exit and she walked off to follow behind him.
After she left, the two black market mercenaries looked at each other and said in a low voice: "That man looked like it was his first time here. There was an enchanting air all around him, wonder what kind of a person he is?"
"We don't have to bother who he is. Come, I'll buy you a drink." The other man slapped his companion on the back, and put his arm around his friend as they walked away.
Walking back towards the inn, the middle aged man suddenly stopped in his tracks, and he turned to look behind his back, his brows knitting up close together. He sped up and walked into an alley before he stopped once again and shouted out.
"Who is it? Show yourself!"
A figure in red stepped out, his steps filled with grace. He was dressed in a full suit of bright brilliant red, his black hair held together by a red silk ribbon. But what was slightly different was that the face was hidden behind a golden mask, decorated with mandala blooms, the flowers of Hell.
Staring at the person slowly walking out, the middle aged man's eyes narrowed, an initial guess surfacing in his head, but he quickly rejected it.
[No, it shouldn't be that woman. The man before his eyes was taller than that woman and it couln't be her.]
"It's been some time since we last met."
Feng Jiu's tone was lazy, tinged with mockery and a chilling air of murder.
"It's you!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, the expression on his face changed slightly and his voice quaked faintly. The sudden instinctive fear he felt made him fall back two steps immediately, and his entire body to tense up in defence. Before the fight had begun, cold sweat was already running down his back.
You can't blame him, a mystical Warrior who was so fearful of a mere Warrior, but as he had fought the girl before and was well aware of her skills. When he thought back to how he had nearly been killed under her hands, and having lost the use of an arm, a unconscious terror had crept in, gripping his heart.
That was the reason why he had gone to the black market to put up a bounty on her, and did not dare confront her directly instead.
Seeing the man's reactions, Feng Jiu could not help it but laughed aloud and said: "If you are so afraid of me, why would you still put a bounty on my head?"
She walked slowly forward, closing the gap between them one step at a time. "I had almost forgotten that a man such as you still existed. Who would have thought, that you would come running to appear right before me again."
The moment she spoke those words, she heard some noises behind her. Her eyebrow lifted as she turned her eyes back to look.
She did not know when another middle aged man and an old man had appeared behind her. Both of them were commanded a strong presence, their gazes sharp and penetrating. A wave of oppressive aura flared out from the two newcomers and the air was filled with a murderous scent, filling up the entire alley.
"Hahaha! You want to kill me? That will depend on whether you possess the capabilities!" The first middle aged man had lost his previous panic and fear and his eyes were now sparkling with excitement at seeing the two men on the other end of the alley.
"Chief Elder, Fourth Elder, this is the person. The one who killed Little Peng!"
