Selling Senior Sister for Three Thousand Spirit Coins

A little lady?

Lin Heng came to his senses.

The other party had mistaken Yun Yao for his woman.

The diners around them naturally recognized the young man in pale blue attire and all shifted their seats inward.

The City Lord's Mansion's young master—Sun You.

He was an unpopular sort, with a notoriously foul reputation in Golden Horse City.

"Sun You must have set his sights on that woman. These two are rather unlucky."

"Judging by their clothes, they seem to be outsiders. Hopefully, this young man can keep his cool. If he angers that fellow, even leaving might become a problem."

Not long ago, Sun You had committed an exceptionally vile deed in Golden Horse City.

It had likewise been a young couple passing through. When Sun You saw the woman on the street, lust rose in his heart, and he seized her.

The woman's husband reported the matter to the Justice Bureau, only to be thrown straight into prison and beaten.

If public outrage had not erupted in the end, the man would most likely have died in jail.

The final solution had been simple: the City Lord's Mansion paid the man five hundred Spirit Coins to settle the matter.

There was no helping it. How could an ordinary person without power or influence possibly contend with the City Lord's Mansion?

Lin Heng shrugged off the hand resting on his shoulder and said flatly, "What is it?"

"Brother, you two are from out of town, aren't you?"

"That's right. So what?"

A lewd smile appeared on Sun You's face as his bright eyes fixed on Yun Yao.

In more than twenty years of life, this was the first time he had ever seen such a beautiful woman.

Even from this distance, her skin was several times fairer than Lady Yu's next door.

He simply could not understand why other men's wives always looked better than the women in his own home.

Of course, if he had known that the woman before him was a terrifying Golden Core Realm cultivator, he would not have dared glance at her again even with a hundred times the courage.

"Young Master, we should leave! If the master finds out..."

The servant beside him tried to persuade him again, only to be kicked away once more.

"Get lost! It's not like I'm going to forcibly seize a civilian woman!" Sun You looked around and barked, "What are you all staring at? Keep looking, and I'll have every last one of you arrested!"

Faced with the threat, the diners merely smiled disdainfully.

They were only watching a show. Sun You did not have the authority to arrest people however he pleased.

If he stirred up public outrage, the ones unable to clean up the mess would still be the City Lord's Mansion.

"Brother, name your price. I'd like to invite your wife upstairs for a drink."

Sun You dropped the pretense and asked directly.

"Three thousand Spirit Coins."

Lin Heng held up three fingers and answered at once.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Sun You was dumbfounded. Had he not made himself clear enough?

I'm inviting your wife upstairs for a drink, and you named a price of three thousand without even thinking?

Yun Yao was dumbfounded too. You really sold this old lady as your woman just like that?

This old lady was only worth three thousand Spirit Coins?

Not to mention them—even the diners watching nearby were stunned speechless.

It was their first time seeing someone sell his wife to buy himself a green hat, and seal the deal so quickly.

Lin Heng looked up at him. "You can't even come up with three thousand Spirit Coins?"

The exchange rate between Spirit Coins and Spirit Stones was ten to one, which meant three hundred Spirit Stones.

That morning, he had gone to the Justice Bureau to look over the register sent from the Flower Pavilion. Besides identities and names, it also listed expenses.

One person had ordered a luxurious 'Qi Refining Realm' feast.

It had only cost nine hundred and ninety-nine Spirit Coins. A 'Golden Core Realm' one should cost at least three times as much, right?

He had been worrying about having no money for the Flower Pavilion tonight. In any case, Yun Yao would slap this guy to death soon enough.

Better to have him drop all his gold before dying. At least it would be worth something!

Yun Yao clenched her fists and met Lin Heng's gaze, her eyes brimming with kindness and tenderness.

Very good!

You were fleecing me so you could go have fun at the Flower Pavilion, were you?

"Three thousand it is. Brother, you really know how to live." Sun You gave Lin Heng a thumbs-up and ordered his men to take out all the Spirit Coins they had brought.

One Gold Ring was worth one thousand Spirit Coins.

One Bright Moon Pearl was worth one thousand five hundred Spirit Coins.

Together with a Spirit Pouch containing exactly five hundred coins, not one more and not one less.

Lin Heng accepted the items with satisfaction. "All right, Senior Sister, you can go up now."

"Senior Sister?"

Boom!

With a thunderous crash, the diners only saw a blur flash before their eyes.

Sun You vanished from where he stood, his entire body embedded in the wall opposite. Blood trickled out, sending countless people into panicked screams.

The two servants reacted first and hurried to the wall, only to find their young master stuck inside it so firmly they could not pull him free.

There was no need to think further. Even if they got him out, he was surely dead.

"Murder! Murder!"

Yet amid the crowd's turmoil, another figure flew out.

It spun three times through the air.

With a bang, another human-shaped imprint appeared on the wall.

Yun Yao withdrew her fist and called to the shopkeeper hiding behind the counter, "Boss, the bill!"

"Heroine, forget the bill. This meal is on me!"

The shopkeeper was drenched in cold sweat as he repeatedly refused.

Who would dare take her money? How could an ordinary person slap someone into a wall? There was no need to think about it—she was definitely an immortal cultivator.

Yun Yao shook her head slightly, took out fifty Spirit Coins from the Spirit Pouch, placed them on the table, and left directly.

Once outside, she casually dragged Lin Heng out of the wall, grabbed him, and fled.

The two traveled from West City all the way to South City, only stopping after finding a deserted spot.

"All right, stop playing dead!"

Yun Yao crouched down and rubbed his face with her hand.

It truly was a case of swinging the stick, then handing over a sweet date.

Lin Heng sat up with a speechless expression.

He had only wanted to farm some gold. What had he done wrong?

Was there really any need to hit so hard?

"You think you suffered this beating for nothing?"

"Damn it. Couldn't you control your strength at all?"

"Fine, fine, Senior Sister hit a little too hard. Come, let me rub it some more... Will you still dare sell Senior Sister in the future?"

Yun Yao narrowed her eyes, finding it rather amusing to deal with Lin Heng like this.

That was simply Yun Yao's personality. Her mind was not especially sharp, and she never knew to think things through before acting.

Lin Heng clearly knew she was a little simple-minded, yet he still insisted on being stubborn and playing petty tricks. The result was like a dung beetle encountering a dung ball—it could not help but push.

You really couldn't take even the slightest joke...

Bastard, selling Senior Sister to someone else in front of so many people, and you still dare complain about such an over-the-top joke!

Yun Yao grew terribly annoyed at the endless grumbling in his heart.

She swore that she was ordinarily a gentle and refined lady—unless she truly could not hold herself back.

As compensation, she gave him a magic artifact she carried with her.

"This was a treasure I found on an Immortal Island when I went out to sea several years ago. It's called the Spirit Treasure Gourd."

"This thing can suppress souls, withstand attacks from Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, and produce a Sound Wave Echo."

Lin Heng took the gourd and quickly got to his feet.

The gourd was purple-gold and only the size of two fingers.

Small, yet not lacking in compact strength.

"You're really giving this to me?"

"Take it. I'm not short on treasures. Stay by Senior Sister's side, and there will be plenty of good things for you in the future."

"On the condition that you don't make Senior Sister angry!"

"Mm..."

Lin Heng accepted the treasure, and his face suddenly did not hurt anymore.

Elsewhere.

The City Lord's Mansion.

Inside the main hall, a Middle-aged Man dressed in a brown robe and wearing a ceremonial crown paced back and forth. His face was filled with worry as he turned to look at the Black Robe seated to one side.

His tone was somewhat displeased.

"What time is it already!"

"The Dynasty has already noticed what you and I have been doing. If the Immortal Sect truly finds something, not only will I lose my head, you can forget about profiting in Golden Horse City as well."

"Green Pavilion Sect has sent three disciples. One has already investigated the Justice Bureau, while another has vanished without a trace. You have to give me a solution!"

Sun Yinan, the head of the Justice Bureau, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
