Chapter 140: Chapter 140: I Couldn’t Bear to Give Spirit Stones, So I’ve Wronged You

Baldie looked at Bai Qing and said:

"You’ve got some capability, we go anywhere and you’re able to find out.

So formidable, what do you need us for?

Seek someone more capable then."

"Then give me back the spirit stones, you took the spirit stones but didn’t do the job," Bai Qing hurriedly said.

"We take money to do jobs, just that we didn’t do it well, not that we got the spirit stones for nothing," Baldie sneered:

"The spirit stones were given to us willingly by you, and I’ve said it was a trade.

A trade can have losses and gains.

If we had succeeded, would you have given us more?

Obviously not.

So why should we return the spirit stones to you if we didn’t find the person?

Whose time is wasted?"

"But you did not do the job," Bai Qing argued with reason: "And you also said at the beginning, after taking the spirit stones, you would definitely find the person, but now, not only have you not found them, you didn’t even look.

So why can’t I take back the spirit stones?"

"Elixir pills are said to promote advancement, but can you advance after eating them?

Many times, some words are just pleasantries.

When I ask you to stay for a meal, do you really think I’m asking you to stay for a meal?" Baldie said coldly:

"However, since you insist we didn’t do the job, fine, we’ll do it again in a few days.

That way, we do extra work, and we won’t charge you spirit stones, you gain."

"You made the same promise to me last time," Bai Qing hurriedly said: "You have to give me back the spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, Baldie’s expression turned even darker.

Then with a smack, he stood up from the table.

"Enough is enough."

With that, he delivered a kick.

Bang!

This kick firmly hit Bai Qing in the abdomen.

Bai Qing, who had been hoping to get the spirit stones back, was instantly sent flying.

With a thud, she landed on a wooden table.

The table shattered upon impact.

Bai Qing’s face, shocked and panicked, held her abdomen, and then a tightness in her throat, she spat out!

A mouthful of fresh blood was vomited.

"You really don’t want to save your face, do you?" Baldie looked at Bai Qing and said harshly: "Wasn’t I clear enough?

Are you blaming me for the failed trade?

Now I’m telling you, the spirit stones were given by you voluntarily, did we force you?

We didn’t force you at the beginning, and now you’re forcing us to give you the spirit stones?

Don’t you think that’s ridiculous?"

With that, Baldie grabbed the teapot and then threw it.

Whoosh!

The teapot flew towards Bai Qing.

Upon seeing this, the already flustered and frightened Bai Qing immediately used her arms to block it.

Clang!

The teapot shattered against her arms, its pieces falling apart.

Hot tea was splashed on Bai Qing’s face.

Already somewhat weak, she looked even more disheveled.

The scalding tea made her face turn red.

Tea leaves clung to her cheeks.

Her arms even started to bleed.

"Get lost!" Baldie shouted angrily.

Bai Qing shakily stood up, gently wiping the tea leaves and water off her face with her hands.

But somehow, the water just wouldn’t wipe away.

As she wiped, new drops appeared.

Just as she was about to take a step to leave, suddenly an Immortal blocked her path.

"Sister, you broke the tables and chairs as well as the teapot, so you need to compensate," the young Immortal said with a smile.

"It wasn’t me," Bai Qing’s voice was a bit choked.

But she kept it suppressed.

"But it’s on sister’s back that the table and chairs were broken, and the teapot shattered in sister’s arms," the Immortal said seriously: "So sister still needs to compensate."

"I..." Bai Qing opened her mouth, then, as if afraid she couldn’t restrain herself, her large tear droplets mixed with the tea water continued to fall: "I’ll compensate."

"Two spirit stones in total," the Immortal nodded with a smile.

"How, how can it be so expensive?" Bai Qing’s voice trembled.

Everyone could see, she was on the verge of crying.

"Because without the teapot and tables and chairs, our business today will be affected, and sister needs to compensate for that as well," the Immortal said.

Bai Qing looked incredulously at the person before her.

The person before her, dressed in a luxurious immortal dress with delicate features, was like an ethereal Immortal untouched by worldly dust.

But...

Why would such a beautiful Immortal utter such words?

"Junior sister, if you don’t compensate, we can go to the Deacon Hall to seek justice.

I wonder if you can bear it," smiled Immortal Xu.

Bai Qing opened her mouth but ended up fumbling over her body for a long while.

She eventually found one Spirit Stone and nine broken spiritual stones.

"Junior sister, you’re short one broken spiritual stone," said Immortal Xu seriously.

"I... I don’t have any more," Bai Qing said awkwardly.

"Then write an IOU. If it’s not paid back in three days, you owe two broken spiritual stones," Immortal Xu suggested as she took out a piece of paper.

In the end, Bai Qing signed it.

Then she hobbled outside.

She was probably trying to flee.

Big teardrops also began to fall incessantly at this time.

The sound of her choking became much more apparent.

Gu An, who had hidden himself away, shook his head and sighed, "Why bother? Just endure it and it will pass."

Finally, he cast a glance at Immortal Xu and then stepped away to leave.

In the afternoon,

Baldie, along with three friends, strolled down the road, chatting and laughing.

"That Bai Qing gave quite a few Spirit Stones, right? Isn’t it a pity to have injured her?" a slightly shorter man sighed:

"I think she looks pretty good, and she’s so easy to deceive. We should’ve thought of a way to trick her out

and sell her.

Now that her face is injured, not to mention it will take a good amount of time to heal.

And now she’s made enemies with us—it looks like it’s going to be too hard to coax her out."

"You’re wrong," Baldie laughed. "It’s actually easier now. As long as we tell her we’re going out to discuss the return of the Spirit Stones, she would likely go out, whatever happens."

Hearing this, the others also laughed, "Big brother is really smart."

The four of them laughed heartily.

"To have made quite a few Spirit Stones from such a Qi Refinement practicer, once we sell her, we’ll have even more Spirit Stones.

The only trouble is, if we sell her, will the Law Enforcement Hall lock onto us?"

"What’s there to fear? I’ve specifically looked into it; she has no one backing her," Baldie said cheerfully:

"And we’re not killing her when we sell her; she can still return. What would the Law Enforcement Hall do to us?

It’s not like we’re exactly clean after all, does the Law Enforcement Hall even care about that?"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt it made sense.

Their mood lifted even further for a moment.

However, as they walked on a less traveled path, they suddenly saw a figure standing in the middle of the road.

Wearing a black and white mask, as if watching them.

This eerie situation left the four somewhat puzzled.

But they decided to walk around it.

However, before they could move, the person with the mask suddenly spoke up, "Gentlemen, please stop."

The voice of the person wearing the mask was low, "Recently a junior sister of mine suffered some injuries, and the treatment requires a considerable amount of Spirit Stones, but I am really reluctant to part with mine—hopefully, you gentlemen can be generous and help me out."

Reluctant to give?

Baldie and his friends were a bit baffled as they listened; you’re reluctant, so you’re asking us?

Baldie tried to ask, "How much does fellow daoist want?"

"I’m not greedy, all of it," the man with the mask said.

Hearing this, Baldie sneered, "Fellow daoist, you’re wearing a mask because you probably don’t want to be recognized, right? You also don’t want to make a big deal out of this, right?

If the four of us were to scatter and run, don’t you think it would cause a commotion?

What would you get..."

In the instant Baldie confidently started speaking, the person with the mask appeared in front of him.

Then a slap fell.

Smack!

The tremendous impact twisted Baldie’s cheek.

Teeth fell out.

The blow stunned him.

A trace of fear rose in his heart, and his whole body seemed to fly away.

But quickly, he realized his hand was caught by the other party.

This made him think the other person dared not let him get too far away, as that would make it easy to escape.

There might still be room for communication.

However...

At the instant this thought occurred to him, he suddenly saw the other person’s hand twist.

Crack!

Boom!

He felt his arm being twisted.

Then the bones shattered, and blood splattered.

An entire arm was brutally broken off.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Immense pain plunged him into fear, and a scream followed.
