Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as Dongfang Qingcang, Unrivaled in the Mortal World

Chapter 44 Scammers and swindlers deserve to die.

Upon hearing this inhuman price, Xiao Lanhua wanted to curse out loud.

Two hundred thousand gold soul coins to buy a stone? Is that a crazy idea?

Other people's stones cost no more than 10,000 gold soul coins, and those are the very rare crystals that are only available to nobles.

This guy actually offered 200,000 gold soul coins for it; that's really outrageous!

Could it be that this crystal is edged with gold?

Dongfang Qingcang picked up the crystal, indifferently raised his head, glanced at the smug middle-aged man, and said, "You are the first human to dare to trick me."

"Young man, you're mistaken about that. Crystals are priced according to their value. If you can't buy them, go look elsewhere. I only sell high-end items here."

The shopkeeper could tell that Dongfang Qingcang really wanted this stone, which was why he raised the price to 200,000 gold soul coins.

He manipulated people by exploiting their desires.

Little Orchid pouted angrily, stomped her foot, and said, "Big Demon, let's go. We don't want this crystal anymore."

She didn't want to be an accomplice to evil and let this guy continue to cheat and swindle others. She didn't know how Tiandou City managed this matter.

Aren't you afraid someone will complain about this?

It should be noted that Gold Soul Coins are already the highest level of currency in the world of Douluo Continent. Even just one Gold Soul Coin is enough to cover the expenses of an average family for ten days.

This guy actually took advantage of the fact that the customer was from out of town and started ripping him off, which is clearly illogical.

The middle-aged boss, however, crossed his arms and squinted, looking Dongfang Qingcang up and down as if to say, "Take it or leave it."

Dongfang Qingcang said sarcastically, "Interesting. In all these years, you are the first person to speak to me like this."

"What, you want to make a move?"

The middle-aged boss frowned, looking at Dongfang Qingcang's stern expression, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

If this guy dares to make a move, then he shouldn't blame me for being impolite.

Dongfang Qingcang released a ball of blazing flame from his hand, then raised his head and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll send you on your way."

"What do you want to do?"

The middle-aged boss glared with eyes as big as copper bells, seeing that Dongfang Qingcang was about to make a move, and immediately shouted, "If you dare to lay a hand on me, you won't leave here alive today!"

Dongfang Qingcang waved his right hand nonchalantly. The person threatening him hadn't even been born yet. Since he was courting death, he would personally send him on his way.

As Dongfang Qingcang slightly moved his fingers, scorching flames enveloped the middle-aged boss, and a shrill scream echoed throughout Tiandou City.

The roadside stall owners around them stopped in their tracks when they saw this, unable to believe their eyes that someone would dare to kill someone in Tiandou City.

Xiao Lanhua was stunned to see a living person being burned to ashes. She couldn't believe that the great demon would kill someone in public. Wasn't he afraid of being blamed by the Heavenly Dou Empire?

Dongfang Qingcang picked up the crystal on the table, then put it away, saying nonchalantly, "It was just a piece of trash. It's dead, so be it."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lanhua pursed her immature lips, finally understanding that the Great Demon was still the same Great Demon.

Just then, a series of powerful clanging sounds of armor clashing rang out.

Looking around, one could see dozens of soldiers in armor running over. When they saw that it was His Majesty Dongfang Qingcang, the leading soldier stepped forward and bowed to him.

"Greetings, Your Excellency."

Dongfang Qingcang recognized the other party's identity as the soldier who had recently besieged Shrek Academy. Because of this, the other party was also afraid of Dongfang Qingcang, and even when the other party killed someone in the street, he dared not say a word.

The soldier lowered his voice and asked cautiously, "Your Excellency, what brings you here?"

"I was threatened."

Dongfang Qingcang put away the crystals he had collected earlier, and glanced at the soldiers of the Heavenly Dou Empire beside him, saying with a hint of dissatisfaction, "If everyone in Heavenly Dou City is like this, there's no point in staying any longer."

Upon hearing this, the soldier suddenly raised his head, feeling somewhat apprehensive. If His Majesty the East were to leave Tiandou City because of him, His Highness Crown Prince Xue Qinghe would surely kill him.

The previous incident had already enraged His Highness Xue Qinghe. If it weren't for the fact that it was his first offense and he hadn't held it against him, it wouldn't have been as simple as just being dismissed from his post.

If the Eastern Venerable leaves Tiandou City, His Highness Xue Qinghe will definitely kill him.

Thinking of this, the soldier immediately knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "Your Excellency, please calm down. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give Your Excellency an explanation."

As he spoke, the soldier suddenly raised his head, looked at the group of vendors who were overcharging customers, and said angrily, "Go and investigate! If even one person is overcharging a customer, arrest them all!"

The Imperial Guards of Tiandou City immediately nodded and began investigating the group of merchants. Anyone who violated the rules of Tiandou City was arrested, and all the gold soul coins obtained through fraud were returned.

Little Orchid pursed her immature lips and asked, "Big Demon, I didn't expect you to be such a nice person."

"I was merely teaching those bastards a lesson. As for the 'good person' you speak of... hehehe, when did I, a dignified Demon Lord, become a good person?"

Dongfang Qingcang glanced at Xiaolanhua and walked straight into the distance, completely unconcerned about what had happened there.

Little Orchid followed closely behind.

Not long after the two left, the group of vendors revealed in detail how they had cheated and swindled people. As a result, the street was quickly cleared out, and anyone who violated the rules of Tiandou City had to pay a price.

Only after Dongfang Qingcang had completely left the street did the soldier wipe the sweat from his face and swallow hard, saying:

"We knew last time that the other party was a Title Douluo. If we hadn't recognized him before we attacked, we'd all be dead here."

"My lord, could it be that this Your Highness has some connection with our Crown Prince? If so, isn't arresting him too lenient?"

Just then, a soldier from the Heavenly Dou Empire walked over with some surprise. Seeing his lord's terrified expression, he looked on with puzzlement.

He then pointed to the group of vendors whose food was glistening with oil.

"How would I know?!"

The soldier glared at him and replied irritably, "In short, regardless of whether the other party has any connections, they are all Title Douluo powerhouses. As long as they are Title Douluos, we have to treat them well."

"These people are all locked up in jail, and their fate will be decided later."

"Yes, yes, you're right, sir."
