Robbery

Bibi Dong stood not far away, silently watching Ye Tian's figure. She had woken up today terrified that everything from yesterday was just a dream.

Seeing that her beautiful dream was still ongoing, Bibi Dong felt a sense of peace. She left the room quietly and found the butler.

"Uncle Butler, I'm sorry to trouble you, but could you accompany me to visit some pharmacies today?"

"No problem, Miss Dong'er."

Guided by the butler, Bibi Dong went to the largest pharmacy in Martial Soul City. The storefront alone was three stories high, and the Soul Masters coming and going were endless.

Upon arriving at the pharmacy, Bibi Dong produced an identity token. A pharmacy manager quickly approached and respectfully ushered Bibi Dong and the butler into a quiet room.

"Greetings to you both. I am the person in charge of Golden Light Pharmacy, Jin Dan. May I ask what medicinal materials you require?"

Jin Dan's voice was filled with a hint of reverence, simply because the little girl held the identity token of Soul Douluo Yue Guan, who could contend with and even defeat a Title Douluo.

The token had been issued by the owner of the pharmacy, primarily for the Title Douluos of the major factions in Martial Soul City or those with the potential to become one. This was why Jin Dan had dropped everything to come and receive them personally the moment he learned of the token's appearance.

"I want to buy some whale rubber. What ages do you have in stock?"

So, she wanted that stuff.

The tension in Jin Dan's heart instantly dissipated, and his smile grew more confident.

"Young lady, the pharmacies within Martial Soul City currently have one piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber and ten pieces of thousand-year whale rubber. If you take them all, I can give you a cost price."

Jin Dan quoted a figure. Bibi Dong did not answer immediately; she closed her eyes, pretending to think, while actually communicating with Ye Tian in secret.

"Brother Ye Tian, is the price he quoted reasonable?"

"At this price, buy as many as you can. However, whale rubber is most effective when it is over three thousand years old."

Listening to Jin Dan's quote, Ye Tian would have slapped the table and agreed on the spot if he could speak directly.

As Jin Dan said, this price was indeed the cost price; it was possible that this single transaction wouldn't even cover the transportation costs.

Suddenly, Ye Tian wondered if he could have Dong'er help him buy things to bring back.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked the system, but the conclusion he received gave him a headache.

"The host can bring items from this world back to the real world, but every item requires a certain amount of Fate Points."

Ye Tian pointed at the head-sized piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber to ask for the price, and the system quoted 1,000,000 Fate Points.

He currently had less than 50,000 Fate Points in his possession...

Ye Tian asked for the prices of the other whale rubbers, and the system's fees varied for each piece, meaning the system's pricing was determined by the value of the item.

For the thousand-year whale rubber, the processing fee alone to bring it back was enough for him to buy another piece of the same quality. Ye Tian had no choice but to abandon the idea of bringing resources back from here.

"I'll buy these. Have them delivered here."

Dong'er settled the bill, provided the address, and walked out with the butler. Jin Dan followed behind with a beaming smile, preparing to see his distinguished guests off.

One had to know that when it came to whale rubber, everyone initially thought that since it came from a whale, it must be a good thing. But once they snatched it up, they realized it was useless for anything other than as an aphrodisiac.

These items had been gathering dust in the warehouse for years. Now that a sucker had come knocking, he could make a small profit, so Jin Dan was naturally in a good mood.

As soon as Dong'er appeared, the gazes of those around her immediately converged.

The Soul Masters who frequented the pharmacy were already familiar with Jin Dan's face. For him to personally receive a ten-year-old girl meant she was either powerful or a big spender.

Soul Masters were forged in slaughter; they could tell at a glance that the childishness on Bibi Dong's face meant she was clearly just an inexperienced Yellow Hair. Since she wasn't strong, she must be wealthy.

As for the middle-aged man beside the Yellow Hair, his strength was clearly visible to some: he was merely a Soul Grand Master in his twenties.

Moreover, after Jin Dan came out, his face was practically beaming, which gave some interested parties even more confidence. It was time to teach this little girl a lesson so she would know that the most important rule when out in the world is not to flaunt one's wealth.

A team of three Soul Elders exchanged glances and silently followed the Yellow Hair.

They walked in such a hurry that they failed to notice the disdain in the eyes of the surrounding Soul Masters.

This was Martial Soul City, a place that devoured people without spitting out the bones. Did they really think a fool would come here to hand out money?

If there were such a successor, that faction would have been swallowed whole by others long ago.

The three Soul Elders thought their tracking was secret, but they had fallen into the butler's perception the moment they appeared.

"Miss Dong'er, three people are tailing us, and their hostility is quite obvious. Do you need me to deal with them?"

"Uncle Butler, what is the strength of those three?"

"They are all Soul Elders. Based on my perception of their soul power, they are level 33, 34, and 37 respectively."

"Uncle Butler, let's head toward a secluded area in a moment. If those three have any ideas, leave them to me for practice. You can just watch from the side."

The butler looked at Bibi Dong in surprise, seeing determination and confidence in her eyes. He did not object.

As a trusted aide who had followed the two masters for over a decade, the butler was pleased to hear Miss Dong'er take the initiative to train herself.

If Miss Dong'er truly encountered danger, he could simply intervene then.

Dong'er had no idea that this butler, who had always been hardworking and uncomplaining, was actually a level 63 Soul Emperor.

After Dong'er and the butler finished their discussion, they turned directly from the main street into an empty alley. They increased their speed significantly, which, to the three pursuers, looked as if they had discovered they were being followed and were trying to shake them off early.

The three Soul Elder exchanged glances, and the burly man acting as their leader gave a wink to the skinny Yellow Hair standing to his side.

Yellow Hair activated his Martial Soul, an aura of sleaze clinging to him as he grabbed his other companion by the shoulder. With a light tap of his feet, he vaulted over the five-meter-high courtyard wall in a flash. As the white Soul Ring on his body pulsed, his speed surged several times over, and in the blink of an eye, he caught up to the fleeing Dong'er and her companion.

Yellow Hair and his partner blocked the narrow exit of the alleyway, while the burly leader revealed his own Martial Soul, approaching with heavy, deliberate steps as the killing intent radiating from him enveloped his prey.

Watching the little girl and the middle-aged man turn deathly pale under the weight of his killing intent, the burly man's lips curled into a smug grin.

He and his two lackeys were no pampered flowers from some academy; they had earned their strength through countless life-or-death struggles within the Soul Beast Forest.

They had even slaughtered a Soul Elder who held a Silver Badge from the Soul Fighting Arena.

While the burly man unleashed his killing intent, Yellow Hair and his partner kept their eyes locked on the coin purse at the little girl's waist; the clinking sound that had emanated from it moments ago was like music to their ears.
