âThatâs right! Name a price!â Minâer hurriedly said. Hmph! She definitely had to get her hands on this bracelet. Who asked her to like it at first glance!
âI said 100 billion!â Leng Ruoxue reminded.
âBrother Lan!â Minâer looked at Lan Lie with a pleading gaze. Hearing this price, she knew that Brother Lan would not buy it for her.
âMiss, we sincerely want to buy it. Give us a real price!â Lan Lie said bluntly.
âIâm also selling it with sincerity! Itâs a fixed price. If you can afford it, then take it. Otherwise, donât have any ideas about my âbraceletâ,â Leng Ruoxue said coldly.
âMinâer, that bracelet is too expensive. Letâs not buy it!â Lan Lie saw that the beautiful woman in front of him could not get through to him, so he could only persuade Minâer. Although he really wanted to send Minâer away, he could not take out 100 billion to buy her a bracelet! Not to mention that he could not take out so much money, even if he could, he would not be such a spendthrift.
âBig Brother Lan, you promised to buy it for me,â Minâer said with tears in her eyes, feeling extremely wronged.
âThat bracelet is too expensive. I wonât be able to afford it even if I sell myself.â Lan Lieâs patience had finally run out. After saying that, he went straight upstairs to his room without looking back.
âYou⦠Just you wait. If you provoke our Lan Family, youâll suffer.â Minâer saw that Lan Lie had gone upstairs and left behind a threatening sentence before chasing after him.
âSigh! Miss, weâve been threatened again.â Feng Da sighed helplessly.
âEn, hurry up and eat! After eating, rest early,â Leng Ruoxue said disapprovingly. It wasnât like she hadnât provoked the Lan family before, why would she be afraid of a womanâs threat!
This small episode did not affect Leng Ruoxue and the othersâ mood. After eating, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
Late at night.
Leng Ruoxue and the freak were sleeping soundly on the bed.
All of a sudden, the door to their room opened and a ghostly-looking man in black sneaked in. The man in black sneaked up to their bed and stared at the blood red bracelet on Leng Ruoxueâs wrist. Then, he reached out his hand and was about to remove the braceletâ¦
âAh!â Following that, a scream came from the man in blackâs mouth. The man in black quickly shook his hand and ran out of Leng Ruoxue and the demonâs room in a sorry stateâ¦
âWhatâs wrong? What happened?â At this time, Feng Da and the others heard the scream and rushed into their room!
âMiss, whatâs wrong? Wake up!â Lutao went up and pushed her Miss, but Leng Ruoxue did not react. Seeing this situation, she couldnât help but feel anxious.
âLutao, donât be anxious. I have already asked Lin Yuan to look for the shopkeeper.â Feng Da quickly consoled her. His face was also anxious.
Not long after, the shopkeeper who was woken up followed behind Lin Yuan and ran all the way to Leng Ruoxue and the demonâs room.
âWhat happened?â The shopkeeper looked at the two unconscious people on the bed and understood.
âShopkeeper, my young miss is in trouble, Boohooâ¦â Once Lü Tao saw the shopkeeper, she immediately started sobbing.
âShopkeeper, isnât the safety of your inn a little too poor? Why did such a thing happen? Could it be that someone in your Shadow City is tempted by money?â Feng Da roared in anger.
âUh! I can use the reputation of the âShadow Pavilionâ to guarantee that there will never be such a person in our Shadow City.â The shopkeeper quickly guaranteed. At the same time, he was a little puzzled. Who was it that did this? It was really too despicable. Wasnât this ruining the reputation of their Shadow City? Hmph! If he knew who this person was, he would definitely mobilize the entire Shadow League to hunt him down!
âShopkeeper, if this old man didnât smell wrongly, thereâs clearly the smell of knockout powder in this room. Furthermore, itâs the âforgotten soulâ thatâs most harmful to the human body. Uh⦠my poor girl and kid! How did they encounter such an unlucky thing?â At this moment, the little old man said faintly.
âUh! Donât worry, old man. Weâll definitely catch the culprit and give you an explanation.â The shopkeeperâs forehead was covered in cold sweat as he promised. Woo⦠These people gave him a lot of pressure! However, he had to report this matter to the butler as soon as possible.
âMy granddaughter and grandson-in-law! Shopkeeper, could it be that theyâve been unconscious all this time? Boohoo⦠Theyâre still so young! Damn little thief, itâs best if I donât catch him. Otherwise, Iâll definitely chop him into pieces.â Leng Qingtian also cried with snot and tears.
âEveryone, donât worry. This happened in our Shadow City. Our Shadow League will definitely give everyone a satisfactory explanation.â The shopkeeper hurriedly guaranteed.
âShopkeeper, of course we believe in your guarantee. However, the most important thing now is to wake up my younger sister and brother-in-law. Otherwise, the longer they are unconscious, the more harmful it will be to their bodies. It might even affect their future cultivation. You have to know that they are all geniuses!â Leng Ruohan said with a face full of regret. His handsome face seemed to be saying, âHow did this happen?â
âThe Thousand Year Snow Ginseng is needed to save the girl, but we donât have it!â The little old man said with a bitter face. Then, he turned to look at the shopkeeper and said with some embarrassment, âShopkeeper, can you help us think of a way? We are willing to spend a large sum of money to buy it.â
âThis⦠Iâll try!â The shopkeeper didnât dare to say that he didnât, otherwise, he believed that he definitely wouldnât be able to leave this place. Moreover, this happened in their âShadow Pavilionâ, so he really couldnât just leave it be.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After the manager finished speaking, he bid farewell to everyone and left Leng Ruoxue and the freakâs room.
âWho could have done this?â After the shopkeeper left, everyone found a random place to sit down. Then, everyone began to discuss with question marks on their faces.
âLittle Flame, did you see that personâs face?â Feng Da asked carefully.
âNo, but I bit him, so if anyone in this city planted snake venom, that black-clothed person just now would be that person,â Little Flame said coldly, its mood extremely unpleasant!
