It was silent in the woods.
There was a strong smell of blood in the air.
Luo Qingzhou put away the kettle and walked towards Sister Dao and the girl named Nangong Meijiao.
"Well, I want to explain."
“That’s not necessary.”
Sister Dao and the girl named Nangong Meijiao said in unison.
At the same time, one person held the handle of the knife tightly in his hand, and the other held the whip around his waist tightly in his hand.
The two stood together, staring at him nervously and vigilantly.
Luo Qingzhou shrugged and said nothing more.
The woods fell into silence.
Luo Qingzhou looked up at the sky.
It's just noon.
"Sister Dao, the warrior market outside hasn't opened yet, where can I sell my prey?"
He asked.
Sister Dao stared at him solemnly for a while, then said, "You can either take it back to the city and find a store to sell it, or sell it to me directly, and I will take it back to Jubao Pavilion."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "If I sell it directly to Sister Dao, what's the price?"
Sister Dao moved her lips as if she wanted to speak, but suddenly hesitated and said, "If you want to sell it, let's go out and go to the carriage. I need to see the prey first before I can give you a price."
Luo Qingzhou thought about it and said, "Okay."
Sister Dao held the knife tightly in her hand, kept a distance of five meters from him, walked side by side with him at a leisurely pace, and kept an eye on him out of the corner of her eye.
Nangong Meijiao stood there alone for a while, hesitated, and followed.
When they arrived outside the woods and saw the carriage and the driver of the Jubao Pavilion, Sister Dao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and spoke in a relaxed tone: "Chu Feiyang, you are too cruel."
Luo Qingzhou said calmly: "Sister Dao, the prey I exchanged my life for was snatched away by them. Although I can get it back in the end, if I don't kill them today, do you think I will dare to come to Black Wood Forest again in the future?"
Sister Dao was silent for a moment, then said, "It's okay to kill someone, but why torture the corpse?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "I didn't torture the corpse. The other party's cultivation is higher than mine. I don't know what means he has to fight back. If I don't kill him completely in one go, I might be the one to die."
Sister Dao didn't say anything else.
When the two of them walked to the front of the carriage, she turned her head to look at him and said quietly, "You are the first warrior who practices tendon training that makes me nervous. Even warriors who practice bone and organ training don't make me so nervous."
Luo Qingzhou smiled and said nothing more. He took out the calf-sized demon leopard from the storage bag.
"Hey, that's good, I actually got something today!"
The middle-aged man driving the cart immediately jumped off the cart and squatted in front of the leopard to inspect it.
Sister Dao also pulled out a dagger from her waist, squatted down, and peeled off the fur, mouth, eyes, etc. for a careful inspection.
After a while.
The middle-aged man looked up at Luo Qingzhou and said, "Do you want to sell it to us at Jubao Pavilion? The price may be slightly cheaper than the evening market, but we will never cheat you. The vendors in the market are mixed. If you wait until the evening to sell it, you may get ripped off."
Sister Dao also looked up at him and said, "The price Jubao Pavilion gives you won't be much cheaper, at most a few dozen gold coins. But you don't need to handle this prey, and you don't have to bargain. The most important thing is that you won't encounter scammers."
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Some inexperienced warriors who go to the market to sell their wares may even be cheated out of their money by those unscrupulous vendors. Little brother, I'm not exaggerating."
Luo Qingzhou asked directly: "How much can you offer?"
Sister Dao used the dagger in her hand to pat the demon leopard's skull, raised her head and said, "We can offer a total of 800 gold coins for the demon leopard's fur, flesh, blood and bones. If we have its demon pill, the pill will be extra."
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and nodded, "800 gold coins should be a very good price. This is just a low-level monster. Even if you go to the market and ask one by one, I guess you won't get much more."
Luo Qingzhou had read books about the prices of these monsters before. Hearing this, he thought for a moment and said, "Let's see if there are any monster pills inside first."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, “If you are sure you want to sell it, we will help you break it open.”
Luo Qingzhou did not hesitate any longer and said, "Sell it."
"good."
The middle-aged man immediately took out a dagger and other tools from his storage bag, accurately cut a hole in the demon leopard's abdomen, and then slowly cut it open.
"Unfortunately, this demon leopard has no demon pill."
Sister Dao took a look and felt a little regretful.
The middle-aged man turned the demon leopard's body over and asked him to look carefully inside its abdomen. He said, "Little brother, look carefully. Don't think we are deceiving you."
Luo Qingzhou nodded and said, "Indeed not."
The demon cores of demon beasts are hidden in their core seas, which are located in their abdomens. If their stomachs are opened, they can be seen at a glance.
"800 gold coins. If you are sure you want to sell it, we will exchange the money for the goods."
Sister Dao stood up and wiped her hands with a handkerchief.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the corpse of the demon leopard on the ground again and nodded, "Okay. Sister Dao, I want to go back to the city now. Is that convenient?"
I have gained a lot today, there is no need to stay any longer.
Sister Dao did not answer and glanced at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man opened his storage bag and took out a bag of gold coins. He weighed it with his hand, grabbed a handful of gold coins from the storage bag, put them into the bag, and handed it to him, saying, "800 gold coins in total. Take them. If you want to go back to the city now, of course you can. I just need to take this monster back and deal with it quickly. The longer it takes, the worse the quality of its flesh and blood will be."
Luo Qingzhou took the bag and counted it carefully.
No more, no less, exactly 800 gold coins.
"Let's go."
The middle-aged man put the monster's corpse into the storage bag, then swiftly jumped onto the carriage and said with a smile: "Brother Chu, you are the luckiest warrior who entered the Black Wood Forest today. It's only noon, and you have already killed a monster and earned 800 gold coins."
Sister Dao's eyes twitched at the side, and she couldn't help but secretly complain in her heart: There are more than 800 gold coins, there is also a storage bag, and I don't know how many gold coins and good things are in it.
Luo Qingzhou smiled, did not answer, and got on the carriage.
After entering the carriage, he opened the curtains and looked at the long-legged beauty standing not far outside. He suddenly shouted, "Miss Lark, do you want to go back with me? I'll treat you to candied haws?"
Nangong Meijiao stood under a big tree, looking at him warily, and snorted coldly: "Do you think I will fall for your trick?"
Luo Qingzhou ignored her and lowered the curtain.
"Sister Dao, let's go!"
A middle-aged man named Aniu drove away slowly in a horse-drawn carriage.
After the carriage started running and went far away, Dao Jie Fang, holding her broadsword, turned around and looked at the girl who was still standing under the tree and said, "Why, are you scared by what happened just now and don't dare to go in?"
Nangong Meijiao sneered: "Do you think I am as timid as you, afraid of even a kid in the tendon refining realm?"
Sister Dao raised her eyebrows and said, "You looked worse than me just now. But... that guy seemed to know you. Do you have a good relationship?"
Nangong Meijiao curled her lips with disdain: "How can I have a good relationship with a stalker who wants to rob me of my money and my body?"
Sister Dao was stunned for a moment when she heard this. She glanced at her towering breasts and sexy black long legs, shrugged and said, "Maybe, this is your own problem."
After saying that, he stopped talking to her, picked up the knife, and went into the forest.
Nangong Meijiao stood there for a while, then she tightened her grip on the whip at her waist and walked in, muttering, "Will I be afraid of him?"
The carriage quickly entered the city.
Luo Qingzhou got off the car at the entrance of Jubao Pavilion, went in and flipped through some books on the first floor before leaving.
He bought a few strings of candied haws on the street and jumped over the wall into the mansion from the alley behind the Qin Mansion.
After taking off the mask, he felt a lot more relaxed.
I didn't meet many people along the way.
Seeing one or two servants, they hid away in advance and quickly returned to the courtyard.
Go into the house and lock the door.
He then took out the storage bag he had picked up in the Black Woods and began to carefully check today's harvest.
In addition to the 800 gold coins earned from hunting monsters, there are 550 gold coins in the storage bag, making a total of 1,350 gold coins.
For him who had just come into contact with gold coins, this was definitely a huge sum of money.
With these gold coins, buying muscle-strengthening potions will not be a problem at all.
In addition to gold coins, there were some daily necessities in the storage bag, including quilts, food, medicine, clean water, etc., as well as more than five hundred taels of silver.
There are actually two bottles of tendon-strengthening potion and one bottle of bone-strengthening potion!
He immediately put all these good things into his storage bag.
After searching carefully again, he found a jade pendant, a warrior dagger, and a book.
He immediately took out the book and looked at it carefully.
A few large black characters were scrawled on the cover: "The Mountain-Shaking Fist".
"Boxing?"
His eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't wait to open the cover. Just as he was about to read it carefully, there was a hurried knock on the door.
Then, Zhu'er's voice sounded outside: "Uncle! Open the door quickly!"
When Luo Qingzhou heard the sound, he immediately put away all his things, walked quickly out of the house, and opened the door.
Zhu Er panted outside and said, "Master, hurry up, get ready and go out with me. The princess's people are still waiting in the hall."
"The eldest princess?"
Luo Qingzhou was stunned when he heard this.
Zhu Er panted and explained, "In the morning, the princess sent someone to pick up the young lady. I and Qiu Er went with her. Just now, the princess suddenly sent someone back with me, saying that she wanted to take the son-in-law with her. I don't know what's going on. The young lady is still there."
Luo Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Second Miss Qin was exposed
He immediately went into the house and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes."
After entering the house, he immediately changed into a loose Confucian robe, went to the yard, washed his face, neck and hands with well water before going out.
After walking a distance, he suddenly asked again: "Zhu'er, have you gone to inform the eldest lady?"
Zhu Er was stunned and asked in confusion: "Sir, why did I inform the eldest lady? The eldest princess wants to see you, not the eldest lady."
Luo Qingzhou turned around and walked towards Lingchan Moon Palace, saying seriously, "I am a son-in-law. Before I go out to see other women, I must get the consent of the eldest lady first. Don't you know this rule?"
Zhu Er: “…”
Luo Qingzhou decided to go and get Chanchan so that it would be safer to keep her by his side.
