CHAPTER 332: MYSTERIOUS WOMAN

"I have." The young woman said, her lips curled in a beautiful smile.

The young woman didn’t lose to Feng Xue in terms of beauty.

However, Feng Xue was a cold beauty, while the opponent was a mysterious beauty.

She wore an off-the-shoulder, purple robe, had a red lotus mark between her eyebrows, and had waist-length, wavy black hair.

Most importantly, her purple pupils had the same red lotus pattern, making them appear strange and mysterious.

Looking at the person, Shen Xu narrowed his eyes, his expression thoughtful.

’Is she human?’ He wondered and secretly questioned Zhen Yuan.

[Mmh.] Zhen Yuan replied.

From what he could see, the person was a human cultivator, albeit a gifted one.

"Why has the senior been wanting to meet us?" Shen Xu asked, and the young woman burst into laughter.

"Senior?" She asked in a teasing voice.

Her revealed cultivation was the peak stage of the fusion realm.

Since Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan had suppressed their cultivation to the late stage of the void refining realm and the early stage of the fusion realm, addressing the woman as ’senior’ was nothing strange.

However, from her reaction, Shen Xu had a sinking feeling that the woman could somehow see through their cultivation.

’What in the world is going on?’ He wondered.

While Shen Xu was deep in thought, the young woman stopped laughing and looked at the two.

"You want to sell the tower tokens and answers?" She asked, and Shen Xu almost fainted from fright.

At the same time, he subconsciously took Zhen Yuan’s hand, preparing to escape at a moment’s notice.

However, Zhen Yuan squeezed the double’s hand and took over the conversation.

"Is the Daoist friend willing to take over the business?" He asked, and the young woman nodded.

"You are smart not to use the eight towers teleportation formation, but how do you plan to go to the Tianxuan continent?" She questioned.

"Ship." Zhen Yuan answered, and Shen Xu reflexively looked at him with surprised eyes.

’Why did you answer?’ He silently asked, but Zhen Yuan didn’t answer and only rubbed his hand to calm him down.

"A level eight ship will require fifty years to reach the Tianxuan continent, and a level nine will take twenty years. Either way, you will need a lot of spirit stones to travel from the Tianqi to the Tianxuan continent."

Hearing this, Shen Xu finally calmed down and nodded.

"That’s why we want to sell the tokens, inheritances, and answers." He said.

"I can help, but my black market will take a thirty per cent commission." The woman said, and the two immediately nodded.

They had expected this and didn’t plan to bargain.

However, there was still one thing they needed to make clear.

"Daoist friend, there is one thing we must insist on." Shen Xu said, and the woman raised her eyebrow.

"Say." She said.

"You must inform the buyers about the soul imprint and mining before making the trades." The double said.

He and Zhen Yuan had carefully thought about this matter.

After all, earning spirit stones was not worth incurring unnecessary cause and effect.

However, the cause and effect could be avoided if the buyers bought the goods after knowing the stakes.

After negotiating the trade terms, the two sides signed a contract, and Shen Xu intentionally brought back the previous topic.

"Daoist friend, you haven’t told us why you were looking forward to meeting us?" He asked, but the woman tilted her head with a teasing expression.

"I was naturally looking forward to the big deal." She said, but Shen Xu didn’t believe her.

After all, the woman knew who they were even before they introduced themselves.

"Does the Daoist friend need something from us?" He asked, but the woman shook her head.

"Don’t worry. I will not reveal your identity to anyone." She said with a solemn expression.

"Why?" Shen Xu asked.

After all, the black market was all about spirit stones.

With such juicy knowledge, wasn’t it natural to sell the information to the highest bidder?

Thinking of this, Shen Xu suddenly had a lot of questions, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

"Daoist friend, you are only the leader of this branch of the black market. Do other city leaders also know?" He asked, but the woman smiled and shook her head.

"Don’t worry." She said, but this only made Shen Xu more confused.

After all, cultivators were not kind.

Why would a stranger be so kind as to keep their secret without asking for something in return?

Shen Xu didn’t want to trust this kindness, but what could he do?

At a loss, he turned to Zhen Yuan, but the man was strangely unconcerned.

’What in the world is going on?’ The double almost cursed.

However, he trusted Zhen Yuan, so he forced himself to calm down.

"I will transfer the spirit stones to your card after the business is done." The woman said, and Zhen Yuan nodded before speaking.

"We want to buy some level eight materials. Does the Daoist friend have some?" He asked, and the woman chuckled.

"I happen to have a level eight ship, spirit grasses, and other things."

After that, the two sides negotiated another business deal, but since Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu didn’t have spirit stones, they bought goods on credit and asked the woman to deduct from their earnings.

When everything was done, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan prepared to leave, but the woman suddenly stopped them.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, I happen to have something that strangely suits you. Do you want it?" She asked.

"This..." Shen Xu frowned with a thoughtful expression.

A moment later, he nodded and began talking.

"I will buy it if it’s really suitable." He said, but the woman shook her head.

"The thing is not for sale. I am giving it to you because I sense you are destined for it."

Shen Xu didn’t know what to say when he heard this.

On one hand, he didn’t want to miss out on a destined treasure and on the other, he wanted to avoid cause and effect.

In the end, he chose to take a risk and accepted the favour.

A breath later, the woman took out a bracelet.

The bracelet was made of a purple-black material and was decorated with red crystals.

"I want it." Shen Xu said as soon as he saw the bracelet.

Hearing this, the woman smiled and handed over the item.

"Take care of it." She said.

After exchanging communication jades, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu left the black market.

However, as they were walking to their inn room, they realised they didn’t even know the woman’s name.

Most importantly, they didn’t find out how she knew about them.

Shen Xu stamped his foot and sighed when he realised this.

"Have we completely lost our minds? How could we be so careless?" He muttered and turned to Zhen Yuan, ready to blame the man.

After all, Zhen Yuan was the first to be strangely unconcerned about the woman.
