Chapter 39: The Words of a Scumbag
side.Xiao Yu ge turned her head and saw a boy of seven or eight years old. She seemed to have seen him somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where for a while."Don't you remember me I'm the seve...With the ticket given by Qian Tingxuan, Xiao Yuge and Qian Sichin easily entered the Ghost Market. The Ghost Market was an underground black market built through water and mountains. Here you could find various rare species unseen on the surface, but danger lurked everywhere.
Boarding the peculiar little boat, they sailed upstream along the winding river. All along the way, eerie howls and wails echoed through the air. If it weren't for having died once before, Xiao Yu Ge wouldn't dare set foot in this place.

"Two young masters, you've arrived! Twenty copper coins!" The boatman was an old man with a face full of scars. His voice was as rough and gravelly as if it had been branded by fire, making him quite unpleasant to listen to.
"Here you go, thank you!" Although the shipping cost was exorbitant, Xiao Yuge still generously paid it. After all, it wasn't her money. After paying, she pondered for a moment and asked, "Senior, do you know where I can find Dragon Bone Grass"
Upon hearing this, the old man seemed to become alert. He narrowed his hawk-like eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Are you here for Dragonbone Grass"
Xiao Yu sang nodded.
“Just so happens, today is our Ghost Market’s annual auction. The two young masters could go take a look, maybe you'll find what you're looking for. However, this Dragonbone Grass is in the hands of the Ghost King, it's not something anyone can buy. The auction is just right ahead to your right, good luck!” The old man shook his head to himself, and with his small boat, slowly sailed away.
"Ghost King" Xiao Yuge tightened her brow, it sounded like someone you wouldn't want to mess with.

"Little Song, this place looks eerie and terrifying. Why do you insist on finding that dragonbone grass" Qian Si Chen's brows were furrowed and his face was grave. He had never been to such a place before, so it was impossible for him not to be worried.
"If you're afraid, you can still leave now." Xiao Yuge let out a soft hum and strode forward.
"I'm not afraid, I'm just worried about you!" In Qian Si Chen's eyes, Xiao Yu Ge was just a helpless weak woman. Coming to this place and dealing with these desperados was like a lamb walking into a tiger's den.

"Take care of yourself. If something happened to you here, my sister would be heartbroken." Xiao Yuge didn't look at him, and walked forward on her own.
"Ge'er, do you have to speak to me like this" Qian Si Chen couldn't stand her always being so distant from him.

Xiao Yu Ge suddenly stopped singing, roughly grabbing Qian Si Chen's collar and pulling him closer. "Qian Si Chen, listen carefully, I am no longer the Xiao Yu Ge who always followed behind you. I won't share a husband with anyone else. If you want to marry me, then cut off all those romantic entanglements outside. If you want to marry my sister, then you must sever ties with me! I want a man who is only devoted to me, not one who flirts with others!"
"Little songbird, you..."
Their eyes met, and a thousand thoughts flashed through his mind. His heart was filled with shock. He had never seen Xiao Yu Ge like this before, but this cool and collected Xiao Yu Ge unexpectedly pierced his heart.
"The auction is about to begin!" At that moment, everyone around rushed over there.
Having regained her composure, Xiao Yuge let go of her thousand thoughts and mingled with the crowd, entering the auction hall.

The inside was already crowded with people, all discussing what would be auctioned today.
"I heard that the Heaven-Azure Sword will also be auctioned off today. It's said to be the sword of a former leader of the martial alliance, I wonder who it will end up in the hands of."
"Of course, the one who offers the highest price gets it! Such a peerless sword is surely priceless!"

Xiao Yu ge secretly thought: It seems like I came to the right place today, both Longgu Grass and Tianqing Sword appeared at the same time.

"Summon the Ghost King!"
Xiao Yu's song followed the sound and looked over. He saw a man of extraordinary height and wearing a red mask striding towards them. The originally boisterous crowd suddenly fell silent, only the Ghost King's heavy footsteps echoed on everyone's hearts with each step.

I originally thought the Ghost King would directly announce the start of the auction, but when he opened his mouth, he said, “Today's auction is canceled. Everyone please go back!”
Suddenly, everyone around began to whisper.
In a panic, Xiao Yu's voice rose, "Why cancel it" As soon as the words left her lips, a sudden silence descended upon the crowd. The atmosphere grew thick with tension.
The Ghost King's eyes were piercing, making Xiao Yuge's heart tremble. He continued with a wave of his hand: "You two stay, the rest leave!" His voice, like a thunderous roar, sent shivers down everyone's spines. Who would dare to remain
By the time the entire hall was left with only Xiao Yuge and Qian Sichen, the Ghost King appeared before Xiao Yuge in a flash. Qian Sichen instinctively shielded Xiao Yuge.
The Ghost King didn't take Qian Sichin seriously at all, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yuge, and he said coldly: "Dressing as a man"
"No one said women dressed as men can't come here, right" Xiao Yuge thought nervously, but her expression remained calm.
The Ghost King waved his hand, and immediately someone presented him with a delicate box and the Azure Heaven Sword. "One hundred taels, leave your money and get out of here!" he said impatiently.
"Only a hundred taels" This time, not only Qian Si Chen was dumbfounded, but even Xiao Yu Ge was stunned. In her opinion, these two items were considered treasures, and they should be worth over a thousand taels at least. Unexpectedly, they only cost a hundred taels.
"At this price, it can't be real, right" Xiao Yuge couldn't help but ask.
"What do you take me for" The Ghost King glared with eyes blazing, his arms trembling violently, causing the entire hall to shudder.

At the same time, Xiao Yuge couldn't tell if she was mistaken, but she seemed to have caught a glimpse of a familiar figure flashing by!
The Ghost King before them seemed enraged, but also gave off an air of suppressed fury. The way he looked at Xiao Yuge and Qian Sichin was as if he wanted to devour them whole, yet for some reason, he had to hold back.
After hastily paying the silver, Xiao Yu Ge and they boarded a small boat, leaving with the Dragon Bone Grass and Sky Azure Sword. Along the way, she couldn't help but feel puzzled: "This is too easy, isn't it" She had imagined many difficult scenarios and prepared for them thoroughly, but she never expected to get everything so easily.
At this time, inside the Ghost King's chamber, standing before him was a mysterious figure clad in a black and red robe, with a green-faced, fang-bearing mask. After confirming that Xiao Yu Ge and his companions had safely left, the figure slowly rose: "Ghost King, you have kept your promise. This envoy will report today's events to the master. This is your six months' antidote!" Having said this, his figure flickered suddenly and vanished from the room in an instant, leaving only a pill the size of a bean on the table.
"Farewell, Envoy!" The Ghost King pursed his lips, picked up the pill on the table, swallowed it in one gulp, and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. Though unwilling, what could he do The other party was an envoy from the Thunder Pavilion. Throughout the land, who dared to confront the Thunder Pavilion head-on!

Xiao Yuge felt that everything was too smooth, she always felt uneasy in her heart. She had checked the Dragon Bone Grass and confirmed it was real, the Azure Sky Sword was also real, but why would the Ghost King just give them to her so easily

No sooner had he spoken than seven or eight men in black masks suddenly appeared, surrounding them in the blink of an eye!
