Luo Xiaoyun shamelessly moved closer, forcing a smile:
"What a coincidence! Young Master Ye Rongcheng is here too! Xiao Cha, come and pay your respects quickly!"
Ye Rongcheng is the eldest Young Master of the head of the Tooth Brokerage firm.
Xiao Cha raised her eyebrows and said coldly:
"If you're so eager to send women to that Ye guy, why don't you just castrate yourself and offer yourself up to serve him!"
These words infuriated Luo Xiaoyun to the point of rage. "Luo Xiaochá! You shameless..."
Xiao Cha's expression changed, and she smiled brightly, saying, "You're all slicked-back and powdered; if you dressed up a bit, you'd be just as good as a young lady! I guarantee you'd change Young Master's mind!"
"You're disgusting!"
When it comes to arguing, Luo Xiaoyun is no match for the Police Flower; she gets thoroughly annoyed with just a few words.
Just as this guy's face turned a deep purplish-red, a group of people suddenly walked over.
Leading the way was a young Young Master in a plaid suit and a bow tie, exuding a distinctly British style.
Luo Xiaoyun quickly nodded and bowed, saying, "Young Master, you've arrived."
The newcomer was none other than Ye Rongcheng, the eldest Young Master of the head of the Tooth Brokerage firm.
He exuded a powerful life force, like an elephant, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.
Xiao Cha's expression turned solemn as she whispered, "The Marrow Cleansing realm!"
Ye Rongcheng smiled gently and said warmly, "Young lady, your hands are beautiful."
The man's gaze remained fixed on Xiao Cha's slender, beautiful hands, and his expression was refined and gentle.
But Lu Li's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously reached for the Children's Rifle!
He sensed an indescribable "malice"!
This is one of the many minor abilities gained after achieving [Thoughtless Meditation]: the ability to sense intentions through eye contact, with the clearest senses coming from those with malicious intent.
I was sized up by a few gangsters before, and I only felt a slight itch.
But at this moment, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his hair stood on end! You can imagine how intense this malice was!
"This child must not be allowed to live!"
Lu Li's murderous intent surged, but Ye Rongcheng smiled and bowed respectfully, saying in a refined manner:
"I have some things to take care of, let's meet another day, excuse me."
After speaking, the man hurriedly led a group of his men into the "human market".
They bought those pregnant women and even carefully escorted them away!?
Lu Li and Xiao Cha's expressions shifted. This person had both power and connections; was he personally involved just to do something like this?
Just then, Luo Xiaoyun was about to follow Ye Rongcheng away when Xiao Cha stopped her and asked:
"Why would someone as distinguished as Young Master personally come to a place like this?"
Luo Xiaoyun quickly boasted, "Young Master works for the Jiu Shan Sect! Even the masters of the Jiu Shan Sect think the Ye family is reliable..."
Xiao Cha interrupted impatiently, "Then why buy a pregnant woman's product?"
"You've come to the right person!" Luo Xiaoyun said smugly.
"I heard on the radio that some foreign scientist has found a way to extract [Dimethyltryptamine]. This stuff is amazing; it can help with [Embryonic Breathing], but it can only be extracted from pregnant women. The Jiu Shan Sect must have learned the extraction method, which is why they're buying pregnant women from Tooth Brokerage!"
This guy may be a complete idiot, but what he said is probably true.
This isn't the place to talk. Xiao Cha gave a wink, then turned and left with Lu Li and Wan Qing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once they were far from Niu Ma City, Lu Li asked, "Are Marrow Cleansing realm afraid of bullets?"
"Of course I'm scared~" Xiao Cha knew exactly what he was up to, and lowered her voice as she said:
"But Ye Rongcheng is quite strong, and he has a father who is at the Blood Exchange realm... The risk is quite high."
Lu Li said solemnly, "He harbors intense malice towards you; he must die!"
Hearing this, Xiao Cha was not surprised at all.
Even Wan Qing said, "The man surnamed Ye is a pervert; he likes to cut off women's hands and collect them."
"Then they'd be even more deadly! Xiao Cha, you make a plan, let's do it as soon as possible!"
"Yeah, this matter just happens to fall on my good-for-nothing cousin."
Everything was decided in just a few words.
Lu Li's expression was icy, his eyes filled with murderous intent!
But Xiao Cha glanced at him, feeling a surge of joy in her heart, a long-lost sense of security.
Wan Qing said softly, "You must remember to avoid Ye Rongcheng's father; those at the [Blood Exchange] Realm are not easy to deal with."
Xiao Cha asked casually, "Wan Qing has seen the Blood Exchange realm before?"
Wan Qing nodded gently and said, "Back then, Blood Exchange realm [Upper Ninja] came to seize the city gate. We drove him away by strapping explosives to our bodies and sacrificing ourselves."
Recalling pain is like tearing open a wound; it's not a pleasant thing.
None of them wanted to talk much, but there happened to be a black-boned chicken vendor up ahead, so Wan Qing and Xiao Cha went to pick one out.
Lu Li was waiting in front of a stationery shop. He had just picked up a pen to look at it casually when he saw two thugs harassing a pregnant woman not far away.
"Young lady, we can introduce you to a job!"
"You're pregnant but still managing to earn money to support your baby, isn't that wonderful?"
The pregnant woman, who had been selling pancakes by the roadside, now looked terrified and confused.
She's not attractive and is heavily pregnant, so why are these thugs harassing her?
Before she could even process what was happening, she heard a sharp "whoosh" sound!
Lu Li then launched the pen in his hand like a crossbow bolt.
With a loud "thud," it pierced flesh and went into the eye socket of a thug.
The thug looked completely bewildered and collapsed dead on the spot. His accomplice, however, reacted quickly, letting out a scream and fleeing forward.
But even the fastest can't outrun a crossbow bolt; the second pen had already shot in and embedded itself in the back of his head.
The inertia caused the body to fly forward several meters, and Lu Li was quite satisfied with the power of the pen.
"The nib and body are both made of steel, it has a good weight to it, and it looks nice and elegant. Shopkeeper, how much is it?"
The shopkeeper, his face pale, said in a trembling voice, "If the immortal likes it, please take it..."
Lu Li casually tossed out a handful of Silver Dollar and then swaggered toward the two corpses.
At this moment, a large space was cleared up next to the body, with only two police officers standing to one side, seemingly waiting for something.
Lu Li raised his hand and beckoned, and the two pens automatically pulled out and flew back.
He had already wiped away the bloodstains with his mind and calmly tucked the pen into his pocket.
Upon seeing this, a commotion broke out on the street, and the two police officers quickly nodded and bowed.
"If the immortal has nothing else to do, we shall proceed with collecting the body."
Seeing that Lu Li did not object, the two policemen slowly dragged the body away, while the shopkeepers nearby used buckets and mops to clean up the bloodstains.
The crowd on the street kept stealing glances at Lu Li, their eyes filled with fear, but even more so with envy and admiration.
I vividly remember that Martial Master practiced Organ Refining were only fined for killing, but Cultivator were exempted from even the fines.
Lu Li took a deep breath and slowly got used to the unique "customs" of this other world.
Just then, Xiao Cha, holding two struggling black-boned chickens, came over with Wan Qing.
What happened?
"It's alright, go back after you've finished shopping."
The three returned with a bountiful harvest, and Lu Li saw the pregnant woman who had been harassed earlier.
He suddenly realized something—if cultivation resources could be extracted from ordinary people...would they still be considered human?
He didn't know, nor was he sure, what the moral standards of the extraordinary world would be like.
