Chapter 178: Chapter 175 Hiring a Hitman, Zheng Wan is Done First

"Wait!"

After figuring out the key point, Wang Yuan decisively called out to Qiu Shaobai and Jin Shengshui.

However, he did not directly expose the old man’s ghostly tricks.

Because today’s series of coincidences had given him plenty of reason to suspect that there might also be something wrong with the two Colorful-Eyed Dancing Girls they had "encountered."

Thus, he smiled and explained to the puzzled duo:

"Both of you, do not forget, we came here to find Daoist Skills for Miss Xing’er and Miss Niannu.

Since everyone thinks the Daoist Skill on this iron sword is good, it should be purchased by the two ladies themselves. How could we dare to overstep and do it for them?

Even if we were to make copies later, this iron sword with the original Daoist Skill should belong to the two ladies, right?"

"Exactly, that’s the truth!"

"Indeed, we almost acted presumptuously towards the beauties."

Influenced by their greed for the flying sword, the two who had nearly lost their composure suddenly realized and repeatedly agreed, making way for Xing’er and Niannu who were behind them.

At this moment, Wang Yuan did not forget to embellish for the two beauties:

"Please trust our judgement, ladies. Although the price of five hundred silver taels isn’t cheap, this item is truly worth it. Go ahead and make your purchase."

Upon hearing this, the two beauties who had been full of anticipation were simultaneously stunned, seemingly caught off guard by the turn of events.

But Courtesan Xing’er responded quickly, her beautiful face suddenly showing a bit of shyness as she murmured:

"Xing’er naturally trusts the gentlemen’s judgement.

However, I don’t have enough silver with me; may I ask you to pay on my behalf first, and I’ll put the money together for you once we return to the Ningxiang Restaurant?

Then you only need to copy this Daoist Skill for me, and you can keep the original iron sword. You have helped me greatly, and it is only right that Xing’er shows her gratitude.

Or..."

This stunningly beautiful Colorful-Eyed Courtesan extended her tender tongue to lick her fiery alluring lips and offered a suggestion that was breathtaking:

"I could repay the debt with my ’body’ too."

Her eyes brimming with seduction, she fixed her gaze directly on Wang Yuan, the youngest and most handsome of the three.

Perhaps to corroborate her insinuation, Xing’er unfastened her outer garment and, with light steps, moved as if to throw herself into his arms.

Though Colorful-Eyed women were more statuesque than those of the Great Yan, they still appeared somewhat petite in front of someone of the Non-Human Level "Daoist Soldier" like Wang Yuan.

From his viewpoint, the beauty of her figure was gracefully enchanting, especially the snow-white buttocks lifting the big red brocade pomegranate skirt, forming a perfectly rounded exquisite curve.

Even though he was accustomed to the several stunning beauties at home, the sight still made his throat dry.

Beauty could kill me!

If he had not already determined this to be a trap, and that both Colorful-Eyed Dancing Girls were "plants."

Wang Yuan might truly have doubted whether his willpower could withstand such an intense "torture" by beauty.

But just then.

A sudden chill breeze arose around them.

Slap!

All of a sudden, a delicate jade hand appeared on Xing’er’s smooth forehead, pushing her away from Wang Yuan.

It was Peach Fairy Lady coming to the rescue with the ghastly One-Eyed Mr. Old Black just in time.

Her eyebrows inverted like a protective female leopard, shielding Wang Yuan behind her:

"Heh, that piece of meat had been taken by someone else more than a decade ago, and I admit I can’t compete with that. But I haven’t even had a sip of the remaining broth, and there’s no way these cheap and vulgar outsiders get to share it!

Spit, shameless Fox Spirit!"

Even though the Demoness had transformed into the "Wood Official," her nature was still that of the original Demoness. Only she could take advantage of others; no one could take advantage of her!

However.

As soon as the phrase "Fox Spirit" was uttered, Xing’er, Niannu, and the old man all changed their expressions drastically.

The youngest and least adaptable among them, Niannu, even cried out in shock:

"How did you know?!"

Before anyone else could react, the trio whose secret had been exposed quickly merged into one.

Bowing slightly, they swiftly grew fox ears, tails, and claws, assuming an aggressive posture.

Xing’er was a Red Fox, Niannu was a Black Fox, the old man was a White Fox.

Especially the old man, his face also twisted, revealing a face belonging to the Colorful-Eyed People.

Seeing this, Peach Fairy Lady about to explode with rage was also astonished, and she turned to look at Old Black who had followed her, her eyes seeming to say:

"You meant... a real Fox Spirit?!"

Old Black, clueless and innocent, replied:

"Is there another meaning to Fox Spirit? I didn’t know, I’m just a dog!"

As it is said:

False Assassins, dressed in black, their eyes fierce, brandishing shiny blades, exuding a murderous aura, cry out before acting: "Dirty thief, die!"

The real Assassin, perfectly hidden within the crowd, could be an old man, a child, a beauty, or an ordinary and naive young man, showing no hint of murderous intent, more ordinary than an ordinary person.

Yet capable of using anything at hand to kill, whether it’s poison, sword, Daoist Skill, Military Skill, claws, branches, beauty, or strange Taboos...

Up till now, Qiu Shaobai and Jin Shengshui, still clueless about the entire scenario, had not even realized.

If it had not been for Wang Yuan, the master of the Deceit Market being present, they would have been obliviously eliminated by the Deceit Market.

Most of their attention had been drawn by Peach Fairy Lady, whose beauty was no less than that of Courtesan Xing’er, utterly stunning.

Especially Jin Shengshui, who had once met Huang Wu.

Now, he didn’t even know with what mindset to face Wang Yuan, the life’s winner who had collected who knows how many beautiful ghost women.

Wang Yuan gave the two a look, signaling them to stay calm.

He stepped forward and looked at the only elder among the three fox spirits who was entangled with debt:

"I was wondering why the two of them were so clean; it turns out it’s one old leading two new, who haven’t yet had the chance to practice killing.

I almost got tricked by you guys.

Are you professional assassins? Tell me, why did you want to use the taboo of the Ghost Market to harm us?"

As the master of Old Black, Wang Yuan naturally knew at the first instance about the changes in it.

With "Heaven-Earth Perceiving" ability, he was confident and not worried at all that the three fox spirits would escape.

On the other side.

By now, the three fox spirits had realized that, in fact, the ultimate trap they had set had been detected by their target right from the beginning.

He turned the tables on them and successfully exposed their tails.

They didn’t bother to ponder how Wang Yuan knew of such a secretive taboo.

For professional assassins, if the first strike fails, they must flee thousands of miles immediately and will definitely not strike a second time.

Especially since they had revealed themselves in front of others, the difficulty of subsequent missions would certainly skyrocket.

"Fox Elder?!"

Red Fox Xing’er uttered softly.

"Go!"

The old man and the two colorful-eyed beauties swiftly turned on the ground, directly transforming into one black, one red, and one white big fox.

The black fox spit out a small figure carved from poplar wood, chanting urgently:

"Heaven round, earth square, I stand in the center, Taiyi Envoy, hide with me. Follow my command freely, come and go without hindrance. Escape form into the world, ever by my side. Hurry, as the decree!"

Whoosh—!

Smoke billowed, wrapping the three foxes as they dove into the Yin Yang Gap, without using the six portals controlled by Wang Yuan.

This was exactly the "Yin Escape Skill."

The Deceit Market forbade transactional fraud, but the marketplace powers of the clients were not restricted.

Unless there was a violent act like "robbery", the Deceit Market would not interfere.

Wang Yuan had thought that the three fox spirits were sitting ducks, but he hadn’t expected the assassins to be so professional.

They had secured a foolproof escape route even before the action began.

Moreover, before leaving, the leading Black Fox left a message:

"Every debt has its debtor, someone from Dengzhou Prefecture has placed a high bounty for the lives of twenty Imperial Dragon Guard Captains.

They paid us half the deposit already.

We are merely assassins, no different from swords and knives. Why should the gentlemen of the Imperial Dragon Guard pursue us relentlessly?

Now that we’ve shown ourselves, we will abandon the mission."

It was as if the steward who found these foreign demon assassins saw them as easy to manipulate because they had no local roots.

Having no roots, they naturally had no reservations.

Selling out their employer felt completely without burden.

If they knew the true identity of the steward, perhaps they would even offer a higher price to bundle the employer and sell them to Wang Yuan.

Lying at Wang Yuan’s feet, Old Black’s nose twitched, ready to track them.

But suddenly, Wang Yuan stopped him.

Just then, a pitiful and miserable ghost shadow suddenly passed through the Deceit Market portal in Yunhe County and arrived at Yinyue Building.

It was none other than the Water Patrol General Zheng Wan!

After his death, his confused ghost, driven by the "Life Trading Treasure Seal", returned to Wang Yuan’s side.

"Someone hiring killers against the Imperial Dragon Guard, and Zheng Wan, who is completely unrelated to the Imperial Dragon Guard, also died at this time? How suspicious!"

Ghost Baby Wang Yuan furrowed his brow and thoroughly examined him.

He found not only was his soul severely damaged, but the turbulent debt that started after his death was now violently consuming him.

Soul scattering, never to transcend was already the best outcome, and it was highly likely it would even affect his descendants.

There was absolutely no value in saving him.

So, Wang Yuan’s baby head suddenly swelled larger than a carriage, opened its mouth wide showing layers of sharp teeth, and swallowed him whole.

Ability "Eating Ghost" (Chapter 119)!

— Swallow evil ghosts, permanently enhance one’s Taoist ability, with a certain chance of acquiring the other party’s "Innate Divine Ability."

Immediately after, Wang Yuan saw the final scene in his mind.

He was indulging in pleasure all night long at Ningxiang Restaurant when suddenly he smelled an intoxicatingly delightful fragrance, and then he knew nothing else.

"Ningxiang Restaurant? It really was the same group of people who did it!"

At that moment.

Pop!

A sound as of snapping lock heads came from inside Wang Yuan’s body.

As Qi-Blood surged, Zheng Wan, the Long Water Soldier Dao General’s Innate Divine Ability—"Water and Wind Attire"—began to rapidly gather and form inside him.
