The girl selling goods at the market had never seen money before.

"You're selling a packet of medicine powder for 200? Do you think I'm easy to rip off?"

"No, no." The girl quickly waved her hand and explained, "Medicinal baths come in different types. This kind of powder needs to be used with magic crystals. If you don't buy magic crystals, the pure powder will cost 50 yuan."

Bai Jinxuan didn't know much about medicinal baths, only what she had heard from others, so she asked curiously, "Combined with magic crystals? I've seen other medicinal baths don't use them."

"The types are different. Some medicinal baths provide a temporary boost, similar to strengthening potions. Some medicinal baths use poisons to temper the body. My medicinal powder replenishes the magical environment and is a natural type of medicinal bath, so it won't have any side effects."

The girl's voice was sweet, which made Bai Jinxuan's brows relax.

If that's the case, it might actually be useful to her, since she goes to the dungeon to kill monsters for the sake of increasing her magic power and improving her combat skills.

After hesitating for a moment, she reached out and weighed the small bag of medicine in her hand, then sniffed it.

A faint fragrance wafted out, instantly making her feel refreshed and relaxed.

"Why does it smell so good?"

"Oh... well, I thought that since we're going to have a medicinal bath, it should smell nice, so I added some floral ingredients."

The other person seemed a little embarrassed as they said this, which made Bai Jinxuan chuckle and put the powder into her pocket.

"Any more? Give me five servings."

"Yes, I'll get it for you right away."

The stall owner quickly turned around and took out a delicate little box from the large bag behind her. Inside were medicine powder and magic crystals, and the capacity was exactly five packages. The one she was holding had just been taken out of it.

Bai Jinxuan couldn't hold back any longer. While putting the medicine powder in her hand into the box, she asked, "Then why don't you treat the ones on the stall as samples and sell them in batches of five? Some customers want to buy four, you can tell them that five is easier to carry."

"Ah this..."

The girl scratched her head, took out a small magic crystal from her pocket, bowed very sincerely, and offered it with both hands: "I've learned a lot, sister. This is the tuition fee."

"Haha, okay, I'll take it."

In the black market, everyone is there for profit, and small favors are settled on the spot. If you don't accept them, people will think you have ulterior motives.

This little girl is quite savvy in this regard.

Bai Jinxuan recalled that when she first came to the black market, she suffered a lot of losses in silence, just like the other party, until her income gradually stabilized after cooperating with Miss Jia.

It's not easy.

As she sighed, she put the box into her handbag, preparing to check out other stalls for medicinal bath ingredients.

I hadn't walked more than a few steps when I heard a scream behind me.

Looking back, the medicine stall had been overturned, props were scattered all over the ground, and the stall owner was surrounded by several burly men.

"What did you say? This little thing is so expensive! Come here!"

After saying that, they dragged the girl into the alley. The passersby and other vendors who saw this scene acted as if they hadn't seen anything, passing by or doing business.

No one would bother with such trivial matters; as long as it didn't bother them, everyone would turn a blind eye.

Some passersby even picked up medicine bottles that rolled to their feet, since nobody cared and whoever picked them up could keep them.

These are all unwritten rules of the black market, and the same rules apply to the dungeons as well.

Only an idiot would become a champion of justice who gains nothing from it.

Bai Jinxuan suddenly smiled with relief.

She's an idiot.

In this world, there are many people who are injured or killed for no apparent reason. Bai Jinxuan doesn't consider herself a good person. She is a ghoul, an assassin planted outside the Death Gang. Talking about justice with her is a joke.

If asked about her actions, she felt that digging up corpses and extorting money for burial were far worse than those bastards who bullied small vendors on the surface.

The girl's desperate cries echoed in the deserted alley, sounding pitiful, but this very pitifulness only excited the men.

The sound of clothes tearing was jarring and irritated Bai Jinxuan.

"Plop, plop, plop..."

Without realizing it, she made her footsteps very heavy, so heavy that everyone could hear them.

She thought she had long since gotten used to this kind of world, but now that she thinks about it, perhaps... she hasn't.

"Oh, someone trying to meddle?"

Seeing Bai Jinxuan's fake face, the leading man whistled and chuckled, "She's a woman, after all."

"She's just not very good-looking, and looks a bit too old, unlike this young lady..."

He licked the girl's face, which provoked a fierce resistance from her, but to no avail. These men seemed to be explorers, and their physical strength was not low.

Resistance not only failed to work for them, but also fueled their desires.

"I'll play with you again later."

After saying this, one of the weaker-looking people was responsible for checking the surroundings, while the other two calmly walked towards Bai Jinxuan.

"You like being a hero? Then you might as well not leave."

Volume 1: Chapter 19: The Girl Who Passed By

"I am not a hero," Bai Jinxuan said calmly, taking a new knife out of her pocket.

There are two targets, and their strength is still unknown, so it is not advisable to attack rashly.

She reached into her clothes, pretending to take something hanging inside, but actually selecting a prop from a treasure chest.

To be honest, most of what Bai Jinxuan put in her treasure chest were monster materials, daily necessities, and a few bottles of potions; there was almost nothing that could help in battle.

The phrase "almost none" means that there are a few things that are useful.

Among them, the most useful is magic crystal. She stored up a lot of magic crystal to power the lantern. As a mineral containing a large amount of magic power, magic crystal is itself a potential weapon.

If you can draw out the magic power it contains in one breath, you can trigger an explosion.

Although this requires spending money, Bai Jinxuan doesn't have any other effective methods at the moment.

To avoid making too much noise, she picked out a small magic crystal, activated the detonation spell, and threw it towards where the two were.

"boom!!!"

A violent explosion rang out, the surrounding houses were shattered in half, and a deep crater was blown into the ground.

"My...my leg! Quick! Give me the medicine!"

One of the men fell to the ground, howling in pain. His body was a bloody mess, with only his tattered trousers fluttering in the wind.

Seeing this, the man on guard quickly grabbed the medicine and went to help, while another man who looked stronger got up from the ground and started cursing: "You motherfucker, you're asking for it!"

Bai Jinxuan ignored him and threw another magic crystal at him.

This time, the opponent was prepared. He drew a short sword inlaid with magic crystals from behind him; a flash of white light, and an invisible force...

The magic crystal in mid-air bounced to the side.

"boom!"

Amidst the eerie blue flames, a lithe figure emerged, faster than Bai Jinxuan, and with an overwhelming aura, determined to kill her.

However, just as he was about to touch Bai Jinxuan, an unidentified object suddenly flew out from the left. In his haste, he did not have time to activate his magic short sword and could only slash horizontally.

"Click——"

Glass shattered on the ground, and a sticky liquid splattered all over him.

When I picked it up, it was transparent and had a strange smell.

"What the hell is this?"

He suddenly felt a burning heat throughout his body, as if another self within him wanted to break free of its seal and unleash its endless rage.

"Grass!"

Realizing something was wrong, he quickly took off his clothes to wipe off the mysterious potion from his body.

Just then, Bai Jinxuan strode forward, holding a small knife, and thrust it straight at him.

She wasn't particularly fast, but it was still quite difficult to fight back while tearing off clothes.

The man immediately retreated, but at that moment, his brother suddenly became unruly and tried to interfere in the battle, which distracted him and greatly reduced his speed.

We can't delay any longer. This bastard poured some kind of potion on me, making it impossible for me to concentrate on the fight.

It must be resolved quickly!

He gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing his desire to turn back and play with women, and the magic short sword flashed with white light.

This equipment, which he bought at great expense, can not only unleash an invisible aura to resist ranged attacks, but also accumulate energy for a thrust.

Many heroes have died because of this move, and now he doesn't mind letting his short sword drink blood again.

"go to hell!"

A flash of white light, and the short sword pierced through the opponent's chest.

Got it.

He couldn't help but laugh, and looking down, he saw that his short sword was so fast that it hadn't even gotten stained with blood.

"This is what happens when you oppose me!"

"What will happen?"

A clear female voice rang out behind his ear, and his pupils contracted sharply. He immediately turned around and slashed horizontally.

But it was too late.

The moment Bai Jinxuan appeared behind him, the knife was already pressed against his back; now, all she needed to do was gently stab him forward...

"Pfft... How is this possible... I clearly already..."

Watching the woman in front of him snatch his short sword like a ghost and raise it high, he stared wide-eyed, wanting to say something, but his throat felt like it was blocked by something, and he couldn't say anything.

The short sword cleaved down, and his head fell to the ground, rolled twice, and died with his eyes wide open.

With her toes skimming over the corpse, Bai Jinxuan, carrying a blood-stained short sword, headed towards the two people who were desperately being forced to drink medicine not far away.

The man with the broken leg was the first to notice the scene. Seeing Bai Jinxuan approaching, he threw away the medicine bottle in fright and desperately threatened, "Don't, don't come any closer! I have an older brother! If he finds out I..."

"Shh-"

As Bai Jinxuan swung her sword in a graceful arc, a magnificent plum blossom branch sprouted from the cold ground.

The last person saw the two older brothers fall down and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, tears and snot streaming down his face, looking quite comical.

"Please... spare me... I was forced to join them, I didn't mean to do anything bad, please have mercy and spare my life..."

Bai Jinxuan didn't speak, but slowly raised the short sword in her hand.

"Wait a moment!"

A girl's voice, trembling with tears, interrupted Bai Jinxuan's thoughts. She turned her head and saw the disheveled girl clenching her fists, mustering her courage to say, "He might really... really have been forced..."

Hearing the person involved speak up for him, the man felt as if he had grasped a lifeline. He quickly kowtowed three times to the girl and then continued to cry and plead.

"I've wanted to switch jobs for a long time, but they won't let me leave easily. They said they'd kill me if I dared to quit. If it weren't for how dangerous the underground world is, I would never have gotten involved in their business. Really, you have to believe me, hero."

"Hero?"

Bai Jinxuan was stunned, and looked at the man curiously, saying, "Do you think I look like a chivalrous hero?"

Upon hearing that the kind-hearted woman was willing to speak, the man's strong survival instinct made him even more eager to say nice things.

"Of course! Someone as strong, beautiful, and courageous as you, what else could you be but a hero? If you really want me to say, none of those expedition teams have your qualities..."

He pressed his head against the ground, racking his brains for something nice to say, but he didn't notice that Bai Jinxuan's complexion was getting worse and worse.

The sword light was dazzling against the backdrop of the moon.

The world fell silent.

Upon seeing this scene, the girl covered her mouth and desperately shrank back.

The sound of clothes rubbing against the ground quickly caught Bai Jinxuan's attention.

She turned to look at the adorable girl, blinked her scarlet eyes, and narrowed them slightly.

"You don't think I'm here to save you, do you?"

"So...so what exactly do you want to..."
