Misery: There is a pawn shop here

Chapter 106 Old Qin Bleeds
"What the hell!"

In order to break the Demon Realm's plan, Qin Jiaxian volunteered to go to Youjian Pawnshop to negotiate a deal. After discussing with Mu Shaoai and Jianzi Xianji, they finally decided to negotiate with Youjian Pawnshop and try to break the deadlock.

Unexpectedly, as the pawnshop was activated and the road led to the entrance, what they saw was an unexpected figure, leaving Qin Jiaxian dumbfounded.

Sword Immortal, standing to the side, also frowned deeply upon seeing this person. Although his clothes and demeanor were quite different, there was no doubt that the person before him was—

“Deng Jiuwu,” Jianzi Xianji said, “why are you at Youjian Pawnshop?”

Deng Jiuwu bowed to Jianzi Xianji with a kind expression, his face showing no trace of the ruthless look he had shown when he attacked Jin Yin.

"The only people who can stay at Youjian Pawnshop regularly, besides the manager, are the servants."

"You've also joined Youjian Pawnshop." Jianzi Xianji frowned upon hearing this. The mysterious young swordsman, the love killer, Deng Jiuwu... Even without counting the unpredictable owner of the pawnshop, Youjian Pawnshop has now gathered quite a few experts.

“If you have desires, you will naturally have to pay a price,” Deng Jiuwu said slowly.

Mu Shaoai looked at the old man in front of him. He had only heard of the old man's reputation for spending money, but this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes. Although it was quite surprising that the old man had joined Youjian Pawnshop, the group had important business to attend to after opening the passage. Therefore, Mu Shaoai did not dwell on the matter and said directly, "We have something to discuss with the owner of the pawnshop."

"The manager is on leave and not in the pawnshop," Deng Jiuwu said, shaking his head.

"what?"

The group was taken aback. A day off? What an unfamiliar term, to appear in a place like Youjian Pawnshop. And as the owner of Youjian Pawnshop, what kind of day off was this?

But then Deng Jiuwu changed the subject and said, "However, the shopkeeper had foreseen your purpose and made arrangements in advance. All this Qin Jiaxian needs to do is pay half of the treasures in the Thousand Evil Cave, and the pawnshop can rescue Chuan Yuxiao for the righteous path. In this way, the Otherworldly Demon Realm will be unrestrained, and your predicament will be resolved."

"What?!" Upon hearing Li Xuanxiao's offer, Qin Jiaxian staggered back several steps.

As Qin's lair, Qianxie Cave holds all the wealth accumulated by Qin Jiaxian throughout his life of wandering the martial world. It contains countless rare treasures, martial arts manuals, and weapons. In terms of total value, even the vast wealth of a certain Butterfly Lord wouldn't be worthy of carrying Qianxie Cave's shoes. Yet now, someone is asking for half of Qianxie Cave's treasures. This is not just cutting off Qin's flesh, but clearly taking away half of Qin's life.

Knowing the details of the Thousand Evil Cave, Mu Shaoai and Jianzi Xianji were also taken aback when they heard the conditions offered by the pawnshop.

"You, you, you, this shabby pawnshop of yours is going to kill me, Old Qin! Where is that pawnshop lad? I, Old Qin, want to talk to him face to face."

Deng Jiuwu remained calm and simply said, "The shopkeeper anticipated your unwillingness and said that this is a fixed price with no room for negotiation. If you want to talk to him in person, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while."

"Oh dear, Da Zai has really messed up this time." Ye Tu Ling whispered furtively behind Qin Jia Xian, only to be slapped to the ground by Qin Jia Xian who heard the commotion.

Meanwhile, the Corpse Man's eyes darted around, and he leaned close to Qin Jiaxian's ear, whispering, "Big Brother, how about this, we go to Qianxie Cave and move some things first. He only said he wanted half of the treasures in Qianxie Cave anyway. As long as Qianxie Cave is emptied, it's fine even if we agree."

"Hmm?" Qin Jiaxian was quite interested when he heard the attention of the corpse-bearer.

Mu Shaoai and Jian Zixianji exchanged glances. This concerned Qin Jiaxian's personal property. Even though they knew that rescuing Chuan Yuxiao was more important, they couldn't bring themselves to speak up at this moment.

At this moment, Deng Jiuwu slowly spoke again: "In addition, the shopkeeper has ordered that this transaction will not be accepted after the deadline."

"You!" Upon hearing this, Qin Jiaxian bared his teeth and brandished his claws again. If looks could kill, Li Xuanxiao would have been torn to pieces by Qin Jiaxian long ago.

But Qin Jiaxian was still Qin Jiaxian after all. After venting his emotions, he still suppressed his heartbreak and said, "Alright, I, Old Qin, promise. As long as that Taoist boy can be saved, I, Old Qin, am willing to pawn half of the Thousand Evil Cave collection." "Ha, as expected of Qin Jiaxian."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Seeing that Qin Jiaxian had agreed, Deng Jiuwu took out a scroll of contract from his sleeve and handed it to Qin Jiaxian.

"Sign this contract, and the pawnshop will return the Xuanzong Daoist in three days. At that time, it will also take away half of the collection in the Thousand Evil Cave. At the same time, we warn you, after signing the contract, do not have any other thoughts, otherwise the result will be something that no one wants to see."

"Hmph." Qin Jiaxian tossed his head. "Although I, Old Qin, don't have a great reputation in the martial arts world, I guarantee 100% integrity in business. I'll deliver the goods and take care of the person in three days!"

Having said that, Qin Jiaxian wrote his name on the contract with a flourish of his pen, and the contract turned to ashes and vanished into nothingness in the next moment.

“Very good.” Deng Jiuwu nodded. “Three days later, a pawnshop will send the person over. Please, gentlemen.”

Seeing this, Mu Shaoai asked, "When will the owner of the pawnshop return?"

Deng Jiuwu smiled upon hearing this: "We are merely servants in a pawnshop, how could we be qualified to inquire about our master's whereabouts?"

"Okay, please."

The group then exited the passage, which disappeared from their sight the next moment.

"Big brother, this time you've really suffered a huge loss."

"Ye Xiaoling, are you looking for death?!" Qin Jiaxian turned around and unleashed another flurry of punches. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll throw you into that run-down pawnshop to work illegally next time."

"In any case, thank you very much, Qin Jiaxian," Mu Shaoai said.

After calming down a bit, Qin Jiaxian turned to look at Mu Shaoai and said, "Don't be so polite. You are Su Huanzhen's friend, and Su Huanzhen trusts you. If you need anything, I, Qin, will definitely help you. It's just half of the Thousand Evil Cave. I, Qin, will earn it back in no time. What's that saying?"

At this moment, the corpse-bearer said from the side, "Even the most useless person has a purpose; though a thousand pieces of gold are spent, they will come back again."

"Useless talent?" Qin Jiaxian's expression changed again. "Useless my ass!"

……

"The contract on this side has been completed."

Inside a pawnshop, Deng Jiuwu spoke with Bei Chenyin, saying, "Whether the deal can be completed depends on you."

"The fact that he could delegate trading authority so readily is enough to show his confidence; he was simply following orders," Bei Chenyin said.

"Then I'll wait for your good news in the pawnshop."

“You did a good job, but Bei Chenyin won’t admit defeat either.”
