Chapter 113 The Flood Beast Liu Xi
"This Zhen'er, when I saw her come in just now, she seemed quite polite and well-mannered. How come she is now... mute?"

Seeing that the girl didn't seem to have any intention of raising her head to answer, Liu Xi raised his eyebrows.

In fact, Zhen'er didn't really mean to not respond to her.

It’s just… I was frightened by his voice!

Liu Xi also noticed this phenomenon the next moment. Because of the angle, he was still able to see half of Zhen'er's face.

At this moment, his eyes fell on the pale profile of his face.

"Damn it! That damned original body, his reputation is really bad, isn't it? I meet a random woman in Wutan City, and she gets so scared of me..."

As if realizing something, Liu Xi cursed his original body out of habit in his heart.

"Ahem... Hey! Old Man Hake's granddaughter, I have something to ask you!" After coughing twice, Liu Xi spoke again.

Fortunately, this time, Zhen'er finally raised her head prettily.

But then again, there's nothing that can be done about it. Didn't you see that scumbag even called her grandpa?

She was afraid that if she didn't respond, she would receive the tragic news that her grandfather had died in the suburbs in two days...

"I just asked you, doesn't your neck get tired from keeping your head down all the time?"

Liu Xi repeated what he had just said.

He was speechless. Seeing the girl's confused and frightened expression, he knew that what he said just now was automatically blocked out of her ears.

"Thank you Mr. Liu Xi for your concern. I... I'm not tired." Zhen'er avoided his gaze and said slowly.

After saying that, she lowered her head again.

In fact, how can you not be tired if you keep your head down like this?

She felt the back of her neck was almost numb!
However, compared to the risk of being targeted by scum, this temporary physical discomfort is nothing.

Seeing this, Liu Xi curled his lips, leaned back casually on the chair, and continued to ask casually:
"Where's your grandfather? Didn't he come into town to look for you yesterday?"

This was also his reaction to it, and he felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart, as if he were a monster!
So I decided to tease this girl.

Aren't you afraid of me?
Then I have to provoke you...

Let me teach you what it means to not trust hearsay!

However, the trajectory was somewhat different from what she had imagined. When Zhen'er heard his words, she raised her head vigilantly.

In her opinion, this scumbag suddenly mentioned her grandfather, which definitely had bad intentions!
Thinking of what her grandfather had said to her jokingly yesterday, originally intending to bring the two of them together, Zhen'er couldn't help but shudder.

By the way, could it be that this scumbag has been eyeing her for a long time?

I deliberately created an encounter in the suburbs yesterday, intending to start with her grandfather, making her bound by the orders of her elders and the words of the matchmaker, and finally forcing her to give herself to him?

I heard that many young men from noble families in the imperial capital play with the bodies and minds of common women in this way!
Finally, after ruining her, they kick her away and find new love.

It is said that one of them has summarized so many routines in this regard that he has almost written a book!
And if this is really what she thought, then this scumbag is really terrible...

Thinking of this, Zhen'er's little mouth began to tremble uncontrollably.

I have to say, if this woman starts to have wild thoughts, then there is really no chance for the man to do anything!
At least, if Liu Xi knew what Zhen'er was thinking at this moment, he would definitely vomit blood!

"My grandpa went back this morning."

Zhen'er answered Liu Xi's question in a very low voice. She felt as if her mood was covered by a thick layer of haze.

"Well, you're going back? You finally make a trip to the city, but you're only going to stay for such a short time? Why don't you stay a few more days? Every time you enter the city, you have to pay an entry fee." Liu Xi said with a little surprise.

He knew that the entrance fee might not be a big deal for him, but for an ordinary family, it was definitely an expense, especially if you went out of the city and back in again in a short period of time.

From an objective point of view, the city entrance fee is a tax that is very unfriendly to people living outside the city, but since it exists, it must have its meaning.

It is also worth mentioning that if Liu Xi had revealed his identity as an alchemist when entering the city yesterday, he would not have had to pay the entrance fee and would have been treated with courtesy.

In the entire Jia Ma Empire, there are three types of people who do not need to pay the entrance fee. The first type is the alchemists, who account for a very small proportion of the population and have a noble status. The second type is the strong people whose strength has reached the Dou Ling realm or above. The last type is those who have made significant contributions to the empire and members of the imperial royal family.

In addition, teams traveling with the above three types of people can be exempted from the entrance fee.

This can be considered a privilege given to special people in the country, used to win people's hearts.

Liu Xi asked, but before Lai Zhen'er could answer, the sound of Yafei's high heels hitting the ground came from the door of the treasure appraisal room, and then her numbing voice also reached her ears:

"Haha, Mr. Liu Xi, are you checking the household registration? Zhen'er is an innocent girl. If Mr. Liu Xi has some physical needs, he should go to the brothels in the south of the city run by the Oba family..."

Before she finished speaking, Ya Fei came in with a few people.

Liu Xi was speechless. Why did this woman look so angry after coming back from going out?
He was in a good mood when he left.

Didn't you just suffer a little loss because of my order? !
What's the big deal?

I thought to myself, if I had any physical needs, I would definitely go to you, Yafei...

As his thoughts raced, Liu Xi moved his gaze behind Ya Fei, and saw several people behind her, each holding a long, flat wooden box in their hands.

"What's in here?" Liu Xi looked at Ya Fei with surprise.

He didn't expect that she would actually take the trouble to do this and even select and pack the food for him without him having to make another trip.

He originally thought that he would most likely do a perfunctory job, but the final result was beyond his expectations.

He found that he couldn't understand this woman...

clap clap!

Snapped!
Ya Fei clapped her palms a few times, and several people dressed as auction staff opened the long and flat boxes they were holding.

In an instant, under the illumination of the bright lights in the treasure appraisal room, a total of seven long swords of different qualities were seen, and the sharp swords reflected a light that was so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it.

After taking a quick glance at these swords, Liu Xi clapped his hands and exclaimed:

"They are all good swords! Miss Yafei is so sorry for the trouble she has caused. I would like to thank you on behalf of the old man!"

When Ya Fei heard this, she turned her head and rolled her eyes towards Liu Xi.

This scumbag actually got the advantage and still acts like a good boy?
Humph, you’ll be in trouble soon!
