Misery: There is a pawn shop here

Chapter 107 Spring Rain Realm Has a Female Piji
The witch brings disaster, and the Mo people suffer misfortune. Nuwa's holy flames will extinguish all evil.

In the far east of the Bitter Realm, there is a unique realm called Chunlin Realm, separated by a river, with customs completely different from those in the martial arts world.

In the village, every villager wore a strange expression, and the leading priest was trembling with fear. Beside the still-burning pile of firewood, Li Xuanxiao, dressed in a white robe with gold patterns, stood with Yuan'er, who resembled both a human and an ape, and the girl who had just been rescued from the cross on the firewood pile.

"Who exactly are you?" the priest demanded sharply. "Outsiders should not interfere in matters of the Spring Rain Realm."

Li Xuanxiao looked at the priest and said indifferently, "She prayed to live, she longed to live, so I saved her. As for the customs of your Spring Rain Realm, what do they have to do with me?"

According to the laws of Chunlin Kingdom, men must be twenty and women nineteen. If no one loves them, they are considered Mo people and must be burned at the stake. Li Xuanxiao naturally disdained such so-called customs.

"You, even if you are from out of town, cannot so brazenly disregard the laws of Chunlin!" Despite the priest's fear, he still presented a firm stance to Li Xuanxiao.

"Tsk." Li raised an eyebrow. Heaven has eyes. He really did come at the call. His original intention was just to take a break and pick up something from the infamous Sin Pit. But what a coincidence that he encountered this scene. Isn't that a coincidence?

"Since that's the case, then let's do this: respecting your rules, I love her, I'll marry her, and we'll get married in three months, how about that?"

"You...you really mean this?" the priest asked. "If you fail to fulfill your promise, you will also be subject to the same punishment."

"Yes, yes, I understand." Li Xuanxiao nodded leisurely. "My patience is limited, so let's stop here. Farewell, everyone."

Having said that, Li Xuanxiao, with one arm around the girl, ignored what she said and left with Yuan'er. The girl didn't dare to move, watching as the man who had descended from the sky leaped and moved like a god, traversing the forest. In no time, they arrived...

"Who are you? How do you know I live in Yan Family Fortress?"

Looking at the house in front of her, Yan Qingcheng was stunned for a moment. She turned to look at Li Xuanxiao, and her tense mood dissipated a bit, and her thoughts became clearer.

"Furthermore, as an outsider, how would you know about the custom in the Spring Rain Realm of preparing for a wedding within three months?"

Li Xuanxiao looked at Yan Qingcheng, shook his head, and said, "Second Miss Yan, is this how the Yan family treats its savior?"

"You even know who I am?!"

"I know more than that." Li Xuanxiao turned around and sat down comfortably on the chair that Yuan'er had carefully cleaned, sitting even more comfortably than Yan Qingcheng, the host.

"To foresee the future and avoid misfortune is a special ability bestowed upon you by Heaven. Only ordinary people would think that misfortune is coming and try to avoid it."

Yan Qingcheng trembled upon hearing this. She stared at Li Xuanxiao, speechless for a long time, only pointing and her eyes reddening. "What did you say? What did you say? I'm not some kind of misfortune?"

“How could foreseeing fragments of the future be a curse?” Li Xuanxiao said, “I said I came here under guidance, not to deceive those villagers. Your inner desire to survive and your yearning for life were indeed the signpost that led me here. Now, are you willing to make a deal, Yan Qingcheng?”

"A deal?" Yan Qingcheng was taken aback upon hearing this, and then asked cautiously, "What kind of deal do you want to make? You've seen it yourself, this is all the Yan family can do right now."

"The dilapidated Yan Family Fortress is naturally not worth trading. What I want to trade is the young lady."

"I?"

Yan Qingcheng pointed to herself, her eyes still red-rimmed, but the scene from a moment ago inexplicably flashed through her mind, and a faint blush rose to her cheeks. "You're blushing like a teapot..."

Li Xuanxiao frowned slightly as he looked at Yan Qingcheng. Admittedly, Yan Qingcheng was indeed a beauty, but Li Xuanxiao knew and had seen many beauties. One Yan Qingcheng was not enough to make him think so.

But seeing Yan Qingcheng's appearance, Li Xuanxiao quickly explained, "There is no place for you to stay in the Spring Rain Realm. Would you be willing to trade your pair of eyes that can see the future for a brand new future?"

"My...eyes?"

"Don't worry, the girl's eyesight is still the same as that of an ordinary person, but she no longer has the ability to foresee the future."

"You really want its power?" Yan Qingcheng asked, pointing to her eyes in confusion.

"You're wrong. It's because it has its value, but I don't need it. If you don't want it, I will leave on my own. I will never force you."

Hearing Li Xuanxiao say this, Yan Qingcheng felt a little relieved and said, "Because of this power, I bear the name of the witch Biji. It would be best if I didn't have it, but... what do you mean by the new future you mentioned?"

"Leaving Chunlin Realm and starting a new life in a place where no one knows you might not be a bad thing for you."

Losing her mother at fifteen, her father at sixteen, and all her relatives at seventeen, while bearing the names of a cursed witch, Yan Qingcheng was tempted by the prospect of moving to a new place, a place where no one knew her.

Looking at Li Xuanxiao, Yan Qingcheng hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Then, can I follow you, young master, and travel around?"

"Hmm?" Li Xuanxiao looked at Yan Qingcheng, then smiled and shook his head, saying, "I just happened to go out to get some things this time, but if you come with me, it will be difficult for you to see the beautiful landscapes. However, if you really want to follow me, it's up to you. If you get tired of staying one day, you can leave as you please."

“Okay, then I agree. I’ll trade my eyes.” Yan Qingcheng quickly replied upon hearing Li Xuanxiao’s words.

"Please be more precise: it's about trading with the ability to foresee the future."

As Li Xuanxiao spoke, a contract appeared in front of Yan Qingcheng. "Signing this contract is considered a fulfillment of the contract. You will follow me from now on. But if you ever get tired of it and want to leave, the pawned items will not be returned."

"I understand." Yan Qingcheng was surprised by the mysterious and wondrous sight before her, but she quickly calmed down. She signed her name, and as her name was written, the contract was completed. Golden threads flew out from Li Xuanxiao's robes and entered Yan Qingcheng's body. Then, Yan Qingcheng felt her vision blur for a moment. When her vision returned to normal, she saw that the golden threads had been withdrawn. Li Xuanxiao flipped his palm and put away the two golden lights.

"Alright, the pawned items have been collected, let's go."

"Ah, okay." Yan Qingcheng nodded and said, "How should I address you, Mr. Unknown?"

"Me? My surname is Li, but you can call me Manager."

"Yes." Although Yan Qingcheng was puzzled, she still nodded in agreement and asked, "Shopkeeper, where are we going?"

"The Pit of Sin".
