The girl, seeing that Chuzheng didnât leave and planned to keep knocking, charged straight over.
âYou wild girl, donât even think about Brother Mo!â
The girl tried to drag Chuzheng away, but Chuzheng stepped back and the girlâs hand grasped at air. Chuzheng kicked her for good measure.
The girl couldnât keep her balance and lunged towards the courtyard gate, which suddenly opened, causing her to fall in.
The people inside moved aside at the same time, and the girl fell to the ground with a scream.
Standing inside the courtyard gate was a young man dressed in clean and bright clothes, frowning down at the girl on the ground: âFattie, what are you doing now?â
Fattie was not fat; on the contrary, her figure was quite slim.
But she used to be fat, and everyone had gotten used to calling her that, so the name stuck, and Fattie absolutely loathed it.
With a face covered in dust, Fattie picked herself up and pointed at Chuzheng: âBrother Mo, I saw this wild girl loitering outside your house. Just now, I even heard the Butcher saying she was stealing stuff. I was worried she might steal something from your place.â
Mo Zilin followed Fattieâs pointing finger to look at Chuzheng. He remembered her as the orphan who lived on the outer edge.
Despite what Fattie said, he didnât get a bad impression and simply asked, âDo you need something?â
Chuzheng took out five Demon Crystals: âHave clothes, exchange.â
Mo Zilinâs eyes suddenly widened.
Fattie recognized them too and exclaimed in shock: âDemon Crystals!â
Mo Zilin quickly pulled her inside, dragging Fattie in and said to Chuzheng, âCome in first.â
If someone else saw this, thereâs no telling what trouble might arise.
Chuzheng wanted to avoid trouble too, so she didnât refuse.
Once inside, she explained to Mo Zilin what she needed.
Mo Zilin didnât usually stay here; his sister had married into a somewhat powerful Demon Clan nearby, so Mo Zilin also had his sisterâs protection and practiced cultivation in that family.
In the place where the original body lived, the Mo Family was considered one of the big households.
âYou only need clothes and food?â
âMm.â
âYou donât need this muchâ¦â Mo Zilin produced clothing, all items his sister had sent back that had never been worn: âThese are all new clothes, you can choose. But they might not fit very wellâ¦â
Chuzheng quickly chose her clothes and left the Demon Crystals on the table.
âYou donât need so many.â Clothes from the outskirts were indeed valuable, but they couldnât compare to the value of Demon Crystals. He normally practiced cultivation and would only get a poor quality Demon Crystal every few months.
Demon Crystals were graded, and the brighter and clearer they were, the higher their quality.
These Demon Crystals were definitely of superior quality.
âHow can you say we donât need them!â Fattie, who had been shocked throughout, snapped back to her senses, grabbed the Demon Crystals, and shouted defiantly: âYou gave them yourself; weâre not forcing you!â
Chuzheng nodded her head, took the clothes and food, and left.
Finally, spent them!
Happy!
âFattie!â Mo Zilin scolded her, wanting her to hand over the Demon Crystals, but Fattie ran all over the courtyard, unwilling to give them up.
Fattie only stopped after Chuzheng had left the courtyard.
âBrother Mo, these are Demon Crystals; theyâre useful for your cultivation,â Fattie said, handing all the Demon Crystals to Mo Zilin. âThat wild girl gave them to you willingly. Why shouldnât you take them?â
Mo Zilin glared at Fattie; he ran out intending to give the Demon Crystals back to Chuzheng.
However, Chuzheng was nowhere to be seen outside, and Mo Zilin also couldnât find her in the little rundown hut from his memory.
Mo Zilin, holding the five Demon Crystals, returned to the courtyard feeling uneasy.
âBrother Mo, what are you doing? These Demon Crystals are so precious!â
âDonât you know that? Those clothes and food are not worth these Demon Crystals.â
âSo what? She gave them willingly.â
ââ¦â
Mo Zilin couldnât be bothered to argue with Fattie.
âYou are not to tell anyone about todayâs affair, understand? Otherwise, you could bring trouble upon us,â Mo Zilin remembered this and warned Fattie again.
Fattie nodded her head. With the Demon Crystals in Mo Zilinâs hands, she dared not speak rashly.
âBrother Mo, where did that wild girl get so many Demon Crystals?â
Mo Zilin and Fattie exchanged a glance, suddenly realizing the issue at hand.
â
Chuzheng changed her clothes and left that place, heading toward the inner city.
She had always stayed on the outskirts, where squandering money would be very difficult, so she must go to the inner city or Central City.
âMiss, you must leave the Underground Demon City.â
âWhy?â
âThe Good Person Card isnât here.â
ââ¦â
Good Person Card, Good Person Card⦠Good Person Card!
Chuzheng suppressed the irritation in her heart.
Even if she had to leave the Underground Demon City, she must go to Central City.
But shortly after Chuzheng had left, she was stopped by several people who had obviously been trailing her; yet, by their attire, they did not seem to be from the place where the original host lived.
âGirly, hand over the Demon Crystal!â
Chuzhengâs gaze swept over them and she said indifferently, âI donât have any.â
âDonât try to fool us, girlie. We saw you spend five Demon Crystals just like that, so hand them over quickly and spare yourself the suffering.â
âWeâre not going to show mercy because youâre a girl. Hand them over yourself, and weâll spare your life.â
Several burly men closed in on Chuzheng, their eyes filled with greed.
They were just passing by when they saw the little girl with five Demon Crystals.
Five of them!
They recognized the kid from Mo Family and didnât dare to provoke him, so they targeted this little girl instead.
A girl who could casually produce five Demon Crystals surely had more on her!
âI donât have any,â Chuzheng wondered if being robbed counted as having spent the crystals.
âNo.â Kingâs Account refuted mercilessly.
Chuzheng: ââ¦â
âDamn it, girl! If you wonât cooperate willingly, killing you will surely yield us the Demon Crystal!â
The big men formed a circle around Chuzheng, confident that such a frail young girl was no match for them, and approached her carelessly.
âKill me?â Chuzheng spoke in a flat tone, âYou canât do that.â
âHahaha, did you guys hear that? This dead girl actually says we canât do it?â
âYou little yellow-haired girl, we could crush you with just one hand.â
âDonât worry, Iâll make sure you die painfully so that you know whether we can do it or not!â
The men laughed maliciously.
âAh!â
âWhat theâ¦â
Suddenly, the burly menâs complexions changed, as if something was in the air. They waved their hands trying to grab it but couldnât catch anything.
The young girl standing in the center, expressionless, lifted her hand with fingers spread outward.
The men were enshrouded in a faint silver light, as if something was entwining them, displaying looks of horror.
The girl clenched her fist and pulled forward; the men suddenly burst into pieces, not leaving a gory scene but instead disintegrating into dust and vanishing into the air.
Chuzheng lowered her hand, a flash of silver light briefly visible around her wrist, but upon closer inspection, there was nothing.
âSisterâ¦â Kingâs Account was dumbstruck.
âThey wanted to kill me first.â
ââ¦â Kingâs Account struggled before speaking, âI didnât want to mention that, Iâm asking, what did you just use?â
âNone of your business.â Her oversized sleeves fell, completely covering her wrist.
ââ¦â You are my host, of course, itâs my business.
Why does Miss have such terrifying power!
What did it miss!
