Chapter 1153 – Fellow Daoist, please stay.
Xu Chuniang was planning to head to the auction, and had just taken a few steps when she became acutely aware that someone was following her behind her.
She had just come to this Crown Mountain City and had only visited a few stores, how could she have been targeted?
Could it be that the nobleman who had named her when she had just exited the cross-border teleportation array not long ago had sent out his guards to find her here?
If it was really those people, then their movements, they were really fast!
Xu Chuniang pretended to be unaware of this, and after casually turning around in the city, she turned around and walked towards the outside of the city.
Fighting was forbidden in the city, and since these people had groped their way here, they had to find a way to get rid of them.
Who knows, seeing her heading in the direction of the city, the person behind her instead became sedated, and actually took the initiative to show his form and call out to her.
“Fellow Daoist in front, stay back.”
Xu Chuniang’s feet lurched, turning her head to look behind her, seeing that the one who had called out to her was a short, thin, three-foot-tall Flame Devil, she couldn’t help but feel a little strange.
Could it be that she had guessed wrongly, and that this person was not a guard sent by that nobleman?
With this thought in her mind, Xu Chuniang did not let her guard down, “I don’t seem to know you, do I?”
The Dwarf Flaming Demon nodded with a smile, “I’m a fixer, and I’ve noticed you since you stepped into this Crown Mountain City… I don’t know if you’ve bought what you wanted?”
At those words, Xu Chuniang was surprised.
She considered herself to be perceptive and cautious, but she didn’t expect that from the moment she entered the city until now, there had been someone staring at her, and she had failed to notice!
Thinking of this, her eyes flared with coldness, and her tone was also a bit unkind, “You’ve been following me all the way?”
Dwarf Flaming Demon as a fixer, the skill of observing words and colors has long been purely perfect, heard the words and hastily explained.
“Fellow Daoist don’t misunderstand, I was following behind you from the time you left the merchant bank, the reason I know your whereabouts is because I’m not the only one who has his eyes on you ……”
Xu Chuniang learned from the Short Flaming Demon that he belonged to a certain organization in the city, an organization that made a living by selling news and being a middleman.
In the organization, there was a special group of people who kept an eye on the raw faces that appeared in the city.
Once it was determined that one of these faces was worth trading with, the organization would arrange for people to make contact with them.
This Dwarf Flame Demon was the person that the organization had arranged to come here, specifically to make a deal with her.
After listening to the explanation of the Dwarf Liege Demon, Xu Chuniang’s expression regained its calmness, the original staring at her people have changed many batches, no wonder she did not notice anything.
She had hit a wall in the merchant house, if these people could give her what she wanted, what was wrong with cooperating with them.
Thinking of this, she looked at the Dwarf Martyr Demon, “Do you know what I want?”
Dwarf Lie Devil smiled at her words, “Even the major chambers of commerce don’t have anything, I think what you want is by no means an idle thing.
But since we are eating this bowl of rice, not to say that 100% can get what you want, but there are also some special channels that can take you to try your luck, depending on whether you trust us or not.”
Xu Chuniang was a little moved, she knew in her heart that going to the auction house would most likely be a wasted trip.
The guards sent out by that nobleman could arrive at Crown Mountain City at any time, and she was not destined to stay in this city for long.
Even if there was something she needed at the auction, she might not be able to wait that long.
“How do you charge?”
The Dwarf Flame Demon returned, “If the transaction is successful, we will charge a 10% drawback, and if the transaction fails to take place, we will only charge a hard-earned fee of 20,000 magic crystals, and this 20,000 hard-earned fee, we have to collect it in advance.”
The 20,000 magic crystals’ hard work fee was not cheap, not to mention, the 10% drawback that would be charged if the deal was successful.
The Soul Nurturing Sacred Item Xu Chuniang wanted was worth more than a million, and 10% was one hundred thousand.
She frowned, ”So expensive? If I don’t find what I want, won’t this 20,000 magic crystals go down the drain?”
Xu Chuniang had a lot of magic crystals on her body, 20,000 magic crystals was just a drop in the bucket, but when she was out and about, her wealth was not exposed, so naturally, the more low-profile she acted, the better. The Dwarf Flaming Demon said in an unassuming manner, “The channel we introduced will never let you suffer, even if we didn’t successfully complete the transaction, it’s definitely worth every penny.”
Xu Chuniang made a difficult face and considered for a long time before reluctantly nodding her head, taking out twenty thousand magic crystals and handing them to Dwarf Flame Demon.
“Alright, twenty thousand is twenty thousand, it’s just that I have limited time, and I’m only going to stay in the city for three days, so you’d better help me find what I want within three days!”
“Three days is a bit of a rush, but it also depends on what you specifically want, if you are lucky, maybe this afternoon, you can find what you want.”
The Dwarf Flaming Demon frowned, then stretched out, took the magic crystal and put it into the space, “Follow me.”
Xu Chuniang followed Dwarf Lie Devil, and after passing through a few bustling markets, she walked all the way towards the forest under the mountain, and the cultivators she encountered along the way gradually became scarce.
After arriving in the forest, the two of them walked for a long distance without seeing half a figure around.
“Where are you taking me?”
“Don’t worry, it’s a good place, you’ll be satisfied!”
The Dwarf Flaming Demon was familiar with the road, leading Xu Chuniang around seven turns before finally stopping deep in the forest, in front of a lake.
Xu Chuniang surveyed the lake in front of her, pondering.
This lake looked plain and ordinary, without any distinguishing features, but she knew that Dwarf Flame Demon wouldn’t have brought her here for no reason.
As expected, Dwarf Lie Devil stopped and took out two cloaks.
After bringing one to his head, covering his face and most of his body tightly, he handed the other cloak to her.
“This item prevents others from prying and sensing, put it on and follow me.”
After saying that, he leaped into the lake and swam towards the bottom.
Seeing this, Xu Chuniang hurriedly put the cloak on and followed.
The two of them dived and swam all the way to the bottom of the lake, and the Dwarf Liege Demon snapped rhythmically on a huge rock at the center of the lake.
The boulder suddenly cracked open, giving way to a passageway that only allowed one person to pass through.
Dwarf Lie Devil glanced towards Xu Chuniang and flashed into the passage.
Xu Chuniang stepped into the passage right after her, and just as she entered the passage, the boulder behind her silently closed up.
The combined boulders were so tightly knit that not even a tiny gap could be seen.
“This place is really hidden.”
Xu Chuniang felt some emotion in her heart, without the Dwarf Flame Demon leading the way, she wouldn’t have been able to find this place no matter what.
These twenty thousand magic crystals hadn’t been spent in vain, and might actually bring her a surprise.
“That’s right, the secret market, naturally, should be hidden enough.”
Dwarf Flaming Demon heatedly smiled, “The secret market opens once a month, each time the location is different, and the time of opening the market will not be more than five days.
You are lucky this time, just in time to open the last two days of the market, if another two days later, will have to wait for January.”
As the Dwarf Flaming Demon’s words fell, the two of them finally passed through the long stone passageway and arrived at the entrance of the secret market.
