Hearing this, Tang San was also slightly surprised. He stopped hammering the iron in his hands and glanced at Yun Chen in astonishment.
After a brief daze, Tang San continued the work in his hands. He merely took Yun Chen for the sort of kindhearted good person who pitied all living beings, and did not think much of it.
Mm, this way I can earn a few more copper soul coins for today's wages and buy Xiao Wu the newest variety of red carrot.
Yun Chen met Tang San's gaze and smiled faintly, but that smile held a trace of something unusual.
Yun Chen could sense that the Blue Silver Emperor inside the Soul Tool—the true body of Tang San's mother—was constantly stretching out her vines, as if she had sensed her son's aura.
Without making a sound, Yun Chen touched the Ruyi Treasure Pouch and injected a little Soul Power into it. The space that had originally been spacious instantly began to compress around the Blue Silver Emperor, fixing her in one position so she could not move around.
Tang San's gaze swept this way from time to time. He did not know why, but he kept feeling that Yun Chen carried a quality that drew him in, almost like his mother.
Tang San abruptly shook his head, shaking the unrealistic thought out of his mind.
How could I feel something like Mom from a grown man? That's absolutely impossible.
Yun Chen, meanwhile, calmly followed the boss into the backyard of the blacksmith shop. The blacksmith shop owner mysteriously carried a box out from the house, then pulled Yun Chen into a somewhat dim room.
Yun Chen was still somewhat on guard. Soul Power gathered in his hand involuntarily, and his Golden Eyes opened to their fullest. The moment the boss tried to make any move, he would strike at once.
The boss looked at Yun Chen strangely. He did not understand why Yun Chen's eyes had suddenly become as bright as a night pearl.
But he was very smart and knew not to ask about a customer's privacy, so he did not ask.
"Heh heh, boss. I understand, I understand what you want. Come, please take a look here."
Yun Chen looked over curiously and saw the blacksmith shop owner gently open the wooden box. Inside was a dark golden leather whip, with a few red patterns on it.
"What's this?"
Yun Chen had thought it was some peerless divine weapon. After all, weren't novels all written like that? The protagonist strolled through a night market and suddenly encountered a senior who gifted him a peerless divine weapon.
However, wasn't this Douluo Continent?
Could this be a divine artifact?
Many possibilities flashed through Yun Chen's mind, but in the end, he still suppressed them. After all, how could a divine artifact possibly appear here?
"Oh, boss, you don't understand."
"This is what young nobles are into these days."
"I heard them call it something like... training."
Yun Chen froze on the spot. He somewhat suspected there was something wrong with his ears. Training... this...
"Oh, boss, this thing is a bedroom toy, suitable for use in bed... heh heh heh... just imagine it. You hold a leather whip in your hand, like a king who controls your partner, lashing down whip after whip... tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Yun Chen's eyelid twitched. At this point, he no longer knew what expression he should use to respond to this blacksmith shop owner, who had already started fantasizing.
"Ahem, ahem... Boss, I am an upright gentleman. Don't you have any divine weapons or sharp blades here?"
Upon hearing this, the boss's face immediately drooped. He had thought Yun Chen would spend a high price to buy this specially made leather whip.
"No."
"How could a small shop like ours have something like that..."
Sensing the huge difference in the boss's attitude before and after, Yun Chen curled his lip and thought, What a dog-eyed thing looking down on people.
"Boss, how much is this?"
Yun Chen pointed his hand toward the specially made leather whip lying quietly inside the wooden box.
"This? It's not expensive. Just one Gold Soul Coin."
The corner of Yun Chen's mouth twitched. Although he was indeed rich, he was not an old fool.
But this little thing is worth one Gold Soul Coin? Are you sure you're not messing with me?
As if seeing Yun Chen's doubts, the blacksmith shop owner slowly spoke with deep meaning.
"Boss, you don't know the inside story."
"This kind of bedroom toy generally can't be sold. It can only be made and used privately."
"Selling it to you is already against the rules."
Yun Chen raised an eyebrow, signaling for the boss to continue.
After all, even if it was against the rules, there was no way it could be sold this expensively.
"Oh, customer, let me tell you the truth."
"This thing... actually also comes with a type of aphrodisiac. When the leather whip lashes down, the aphrodisiac soaked into the whip seeps into your partner's body, doubling the effect..."
As he spoke, the boss revealed a wicked grin.
Yun Chen's expression did not change much. He nodded, casually took a Gold Soul Coin out of his storage Soul Tool, and tossed it to the blacksmith shop owner.
"Take it."
"Right away. Thank you, boss, how generous."
"May you rule over fourteen women in one night."
The corner of Yun Chen's mouth twitched. If he really ruled over fourteen women, wouldn't his kidneys be ruined?
Ahem... As for why Yun Chen wanted to buy this thing, of course it was so he could properly criticize it. How could such deviant practices be allowed to spread across Douluo Continent?
It had to be handed over to Yun Chen, a marquis personally recognized by the Heaven Dou Empire, for judgment.
In any case, Yun Chen definitely would not admit that the moment he heard what it could do, he had been tempted.
Of course, Yun Chen was not that kind of casual man.
It was just that the very first moment he saw the leather whip, he thought of Sister Xue'er, who was still in Heaven Dou City.
If this thing could be used on Qian Renxue, then...
Yun Chen violently shook his head, flinging those unrealistic thoughts out of his mind. Of course, the current Yun Chen only had the wicked intent, not the wicked courage.
But... in the near future...
With a resolute look in his eyes, Yun Chen put the wooden box away into his storage Soul Tool. He and the blacksmith shop owner walked out of the courtyard one after the other, as if they had just completed some secret handoff.
"Take care, boss."
A brilliant smile spread across the blacksmith shop owner's face. After all, this one Gold Soul Coin was enough for him to live on for several months.
Something that cost less than a few copper soul coins to make had sold for one Gold Soul Coin. Life could hardly get more comfortable than this.
"I'm off, boss."
I'm off, Tang San. We'll meet again in the future.
Before Yun Chen left, he took one last deep look at Tang San. A war between them was destined, and that war was not far away.
But it definitely was not now. No matter what, Shura God's attention on Tang San was absolutely unusual. Before he had the strength to become a god, Yun Chen would not easily strike to kill Tang San.
After all, with the Sea God's personality, if Yun Chen were not deeply bound to him, once he provoked Shura God, the Sea God might very well abandon him too.
What happened with Ning Rongrong had already taught him a lesson. Right now, Yun Chen understood only one thing: before he had absolute strength, he absolutely could not make decisions lightly.
Tang San, we've got plenty of time ahead of us.
