Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Xiaoxue, don't talk about the city lord, or you may get into trouble!"

Chen Zhisheng lowered his voice to warn Ling Hanxue, and carefully observed the surroundings. Fortunately, no one paid attention to them: "Lin Ying, don't ask about these things blindly. You will know when it's time for you to know."

Lin Yi frowned slightly, not because of Chen Zhisheng's attitude, but because he realized that Luling City did not seem to be a kind place. Otherwise, what's the point of talking about the city lord?

"Brother Lin Ying, after we find a place to stay, let's talk about the situation in Luling City. It's really not convenient to talk about it outside."

Wu Yucao also reminded in a low voice: "Sometimes trouble comes from your mouth. You don't even know what you said, and you will be targeted. This kind of thing has happened before."

"I understand, sister Wu, don't worry, I won't ask any more questions!"

Lin Yi nodded in agreement, becoming more and more curious in his heart. Is this Luling City a place of high-pressure rule? What kind of powerful person is the city lord?

As for emotions such as fear, Lin Yi doesn't have any emotions at all. Even if he is not strong enough, there is not much chance for the people on the island to hurt him. His soul characteristics are enough to deal with most physical attacks based on the physical body.

After Wu Yucao finished speaking, the four people suddenly fell into an atmosphere of silence, but it was quickly broken.

Along the way, many people would greet Wu Yucao and others, and it was obvious that the three of them looked familiar.

It's just that those people's identities are basically rough people from three religions and nine schools. They have no prominent existence, and most of them have not even reached the foundation building stage in terms of strength, and are not as good as Lin Yiming's level on the surface.

After a while, Lin Yi followed the three of them to an alley. It was relatively remote, with not many pedestrians coming and going, and the few who were in the foundation building stage.

Some of these people would nod to Wu Yucao and others, while others would just ignore them and go about their own business without having anything to do with each other.

"Look, that shop is where individual warriors like us sell our prey. There are also large shops in Luling City, but they basically only accept big forces. If we go there, the prices will be extremely low."

Ling Hanxue pointed to a facade deep in the alley and whispered to Lin Yi: "Brother Lin Ying, if you follow us in the future, you still have to be aware of these things. But you don't have to rush, just follow my sister for two days. , it will naturally become clear.”

Lin Yi thanked him with a smile, and then asked curiously: "Then why is the store located in such a remote place? If you are not familiar with it, you probably won't be able to find this place, right?"

"The prosperous areas are all occupied by big businesses, so small shops can naturally only find remote places. The only ones who can come are regular customers, so it doesn't matter if they are remote."

Wu Yucao explained casually. While talking, the four of them had already arrived at the door of the store. When they looked up, there were no customers inside. It seemed that business was indeed deserted.

However, Lin Yi immediately thought of the people he met when he came in. Perhaps they had just completed the transaction and left. In this case, the business was not really bad.

"Shopkeeper, come and see the goods!"

Wu Yucao walked into the shop and said hello: "Hurry up, the good things I just hunted today are fresh!"

An old man behind the counter stood up and smiled kindly: "It's Xiaocao! I haven't seen you for a while. Not many prey lately?"

"That's right! Almost all the dark beasts nearby have been hunted. If you want to find suitable prey, you have to run farther."

Wu Yucao smiled and exchanged greetings with the old man. It was obvious that the two had a good relationship and were indeed regular customers!

"It's true. Business has been decreasing recently. If this continues, it will be difficult for everyone!"

The old man sighed, then looked at Lin Yi and said, "Is this young man your new team member? Not bad, there are more people, and it will be safer to hunt in farther places."

"Shopkeeper, hurry up and take a look at the goods. Give us a good price. We have more people and our expenses are higher. Don't lower the price!"

Ling Hanxue walked over with a smile, and put the harvest on the counter with Chen Zhisheng.

"You dark-hearted girl, when have I ever wronged you? It seems like I've been undercutting you. Do you have any conscience anymore?"

The old man laughed and cursed a few words, then stepped forward to check the harvest: "It's the inner elixir of the Black Spirit Thorn Armored Rhinoceros. It's not bad. This guy is not easy to hunt. You guys spent a lot of time on it, right?"

"No, I've been struggling with it for several days. I finally managed to kill it, so I'll send it to you as soon as possible. Isn't that interesting?"

Ling Hanxue approached the old man with a smile, and rubbed her right thumb and index finger quickly: "Shopkeeper, you must be more interesting!"

Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh. This gesture was used internationally in the secular world. He didn't expect to see it on Fuejiao Island, and the meaning was definitely the same.

Especially when Ling Hanxue made it, it was even more fun.

The old man couldn't help but spat, and continued to laugh and curse: "Go, go, you evil-hearted stinky girl, you mean that I have never been interesting enough, right? Do you believe that I will throw you out?"

"Of course I don't believe it! How could you, the shopkeeper, have the heart to throw me out?"

Ling Hanxue immediately put on a super cute look, acting coquettishly and cutely. The two of them didn't look like they were doing business at all, but more like a grandfather and granddaughter joking.

"Okay, okay, you girl, don't come in the way of me. If you mess around again, I'll deduct 20% of the price from you!"

The old man deliberately kept a straight face and threatened Ling Hanxue, but the smile in his eyes was not concealed at all, which was not very convincing.

Ling Hanxue cooperated and covered her mouth with her hands, indicating that she would stop talking. Although she was joking, it would be a big loss if she was really discounted by 20%.

"The inner elixir of Black Spirit Thorn Armored Rhinoceros is in good condition, without any damage, not bad!"

The old man reached out and picked up the black inner elixir, looked over it over and over, nodded and said with a smile: "I can give you three thousand for this inner elixir, is that okay?"

"No problem! Thank you, shopkeeper!"

Wu Yucao smiled and nodded, showing an expression of satisfaction. At the same time, he turned to Lin Yi and explained: "If we go to those big shops, we individual warriors can only sell this inner elixir for a maximum of 1,800 yuan, while in other small shops, I'm afraid. It won’t exceed 2,500, so this is the most fair place.”

Lin Yi said oh, but didn't pay much attention to it. Two or three thousand spirit jade was nothing to him, and two or three thousand spirit crystals were nothing.

However, he immediately thought that Fuidao had no spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and could not use true energy. Would the Ling Jade Spirit Crystal be useful?

Or is it actually using currencies like gold and silver?

"Xiaocao still has a conscience and knows that I am fair!"

The old man smiled and glanced at Ling Hanxue, obviously saying that she had no conscience. Ling Hanxue still covered her mouth and smiled, then wrinkled her nose at the old man, her eyebrows arched.
