Chapter 31: The Remnant of the Secret Demon(1/2)
The old fox was frightened by the rude man taking advantage of Huanxi Tower's power, and then frightened by Tao Qian's sudden words, which caused him to panic briefly.
His subconscious reply was a bit stuttering.
"Your...honored guest, are you kidding me?"
Fortunately, after saying this, the old fox returned to his normal posture.
The old fox pushed up the reading glasses from the mortal world with his furry paws, and looked at Tao Qian carefully for a few times. Without waiting for Tao Qian to reply, the old fox continued:
"Your honor, please don't joke. Although my eyesight is dim with old bones, my memory is still pretty good."
"The distinguished guest has such an otherworldly appearance. If I ever buy a book from the old fox, I will never forget it."
The old fox said firmly, and at the same time he believed that the half-dragon demon in front of him was either joking or trying to blackmail him.
Either way, he won't accept it.
That reckless man was able to get money back from him because his sister joined Huanxi Tower.
What if it were someone else, even a monk with stronger cultivation?
Unless he could overcome the protection provided by Huanxi Tower, he would never compromise.
Even if his reputation is bad, he can pack up his bags and move to the next city. This is what he has always done.
Anyway, the "leeks" in the spiritual world always crop up one after another, so he never worries about not having a market.
Over the years, relying on this operating model, he not only made a lot of money, but also supported a large tribe of fox demons.
And within the group, there are already two Qi-entraining realms.
One is his mother.
One is his grandson.
Monks who are not well-educated enough and want to cause trouble in his place will inevitably be punished by him.
The old fox was thinking firmly, and the next moment, he saw Tao Qian nod his head and admit directly: "You are right, I have never bought a book from you, and it is also my first time to come to Tengshefang City.
, I even traveled out for the first time.”
Hearing this, the old fox was about to breathe a sigh of relief.
But immediately, he saw the damn eyes of the half-dragon demon in front of him narrowed again. At first glance, he looked warm, but in reality, he revealed a dark smile. He stared at himself playfully, and at the same time said inadvertently:
"My family recently took in an old servant. He knew that I was going to travel, so he specially taught me some experience to prevent me from being deceived by bad people."
"This old servant is called Wu Ming. He said that a few years ago he bought a copy of "Wild Fox Zen Sutra" from a fox demon in Tengshefang City, which cost him three years of savings and a total of five hundred yuan.
"
"Unexpectedly, the Zen Sutra was a forgery. He went to seek quarrel with the fox demon, but was beaten up by the fox demon. The fox demon also mocked him for not being able to die in peace."
"Shop owner, please comment. Is what this fox demon did reasonable?"
As Tao Qian uttered these words, he walked around casually and looked around.
After a while, he stopped in front of a bookshelf.
He reached out, seemingly casually, and when he came back, there was an extra book in his hand.
On the cover page, there are four large ancient seal characters written on it.
It's... the Wild Fox Zen Sutra!
Tao Qian looked back and saw that the old fox, who had always been very thick-skinned and flexible, suddenly turned pale.
Deep down in his heart, he was already roaring unwillingly.
What's the situation today?
Could it be that something happened?
Why do two mistresses come to my door in a row, and both of them are things I can’t afford to offend?
At this moment, the old fox no longer wants to trick people, he just wants to thank the guests behind closed doors and calm down.
But after all, he has been cheating for so many years, and he has never met anyone who has suffered, and his face has long been as unshakable as an iron wall.
The half-dragon monster in front of me seemed to be imposing.
But I still don’t know the details, so how do I know this guy isn’t bluffing?
Lao Hu forced himself to put on a show of force, forced out a smile, completely ignored the Wild Fox Zen Sutra being held up by Tao Qian, and argued:
"As a distinguished guest, you still need to make some self-judgments when you go out for training."
"What the old servant said may not be entirely true."
"Even if it is true, the truth that can be said here is that it is just a purchase, and the money and goods will not be returned."
"This is the rule when buying books on exercises in any market. If you regret it after buying it, you can return it. Who would want to do such a business?"
"If you don't have good eyesight and don't have enough knowledge, it's better not to go to the market to trade with others, and go home to find your parents as soon as possible."
"Dear guest, do you think this is true?"
As he talked, the old fox felt confident and confident, and his sentences became even more fluent.
He was planning that if Tao Qian refuted, he would take advantage of his sharp tongue and scold this "young chick" who had just left home, until he couldn't take care of himself.
But what he didn't expect was that when Tao Qian heard this, he nodded and acknowledged him.
With the example of the reckless man successfully collecting debts, how could Tao Qian make a stupid mistake and get into a verbal dispute with this old fox?
To hit a snake, you have to hit it seven inches. Although Tao Qian couldn't take advantage of Huanxi Tower, he happened to know the pain points of the old fox.
Tao Qian turned around, still holding the "Wild Fox Zen Sutra" in one hand, staring at the old fox with a smile, and pretending to look at the many decorations in the shop casually.
Then, he opened his mouth and said: "Old sir, although your store is not big, it has arranged all the forbidden measures to protect it from water, fire and wind and rain."
He uttered this sentence without waiting for the reply from the old fox who was heartbroken.
Tao Qian suddenly turned solemn and shouted as if he was angry:
"Others can't see through your tricks, so they let you fool around."
"I'm different. I have more teachers, so I naturally understand more."
"Although I don't know where you found so much 'God-Confusing Sand', it is very simple to destroy the effect of Confusing Gods."
"Boom"
As he spoke, a terrifying pressure suddenly overflowed from Tao Qian's body.
The dragon's bloodline was activated, wind, rain and thunder were born in an instant, and dazzling rainbow light danced around Tao Qian.
But Tao Qian did not immediately destroy the confusing sand attached to the surrounding books. Instead, he stared at the old fox with a half-smiling look and asked: "Shop owner, please tell me again, if you leak such details."
If you go out, what will happen to you and your tribe of fox demons?"
This sentence directly broke the old fox's psychological defense.
An old face that was full of pride before suddenly revealed a look of panic, even fear.
Not only was he pressured by the blood of the dragon, but he also foresaw the tragic ending in the future.
At this moment, he finally realized that the half-dragon demon in front of him was much more difficult to deal with than the reckless man before.
The latter is just her younger sister joining Huanxi Building, so her status must not be high.
But this half-dragon, half-human demon, no matter how he spoke or behaved, or now showed his bloodline and magical powers, made the old fox smell the signal of extreme danger.
He is just a small stall owner in Tengshefang City, and he is also at the bottom of the cultivation world. How can he offend such a being?
What he couldn't figure out even more was how the old guy who looked so unlucky that day joined the family of this half-dragon demon?
It’s incredible!
But I have to believe it, after all, the details in the words cannot be faked.
The old fox fully understood and no longer took any chances. He immediately bowed and saluted, waved his hands repeatedly, and exclaimed at the same time:
"Your honor is about to give up your magical powers. It's the old fox's mistake. The old fox was blind and deceived your old servant."
"Please give me your words, please punish me arbitrarily and compensate me. I will never say anything about it."
The old fox begged for mercy, but also knew that it would be difficult to end this moment. He was about to grovel and let this monster with a mysterious and terrifying origin vent his anger.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Tao Qian actually received his magical power.
He casually threw the Wild Fox Zen Sutra back to its original place, then squinted his golden eyes, looked at the fox with a half-smile and said:
"This is what you said."
"My young master has a good relationship with Lao Wu, so I have to help him out no matter what."
"So old shopkeeper, please don't feel too distressed next time."
Hearing Tao Qian's words, the old fox opened his mouth, but didn't know how to respond.
He only felt that his heart was starting to throb and hurt, which was a sign of imminent bleeding.
