This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 165: Trouble Comes Knocking

Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Trouble Comes Knocking

Although the Purple Crystal Heart isn’t considered a rare treasure, it’s still a type that’s scarcely seen in the world, and the biggest reason for its scarcity is that very few can recognize it without using special methods to detect exotic treasures.

Even Qi’an, an old hand at the Wind God Commerce who’s seen countless treasures, couldn’t identify it immediately after scrutinizing it, let alone others.

Experts have their own way of doing things, which is why he marveled at Liang Yi’s powers of observation.

"I wonder where Young Hero Liang obtained this Crystal Core? Finding one so intact and of such high quality is exceptionally rare," Qi’an asked, even though it’s impolite to inquire about the origin of a seller’s goods. But he felt itchy not to ask.

When encountering a buyer urgently needing this item, the worth of the Purple Crystal Heart could be on par with a fourth-grade celestial material treasure.

"Just lucky, I found it while walking. It rolled to my feet on its own," Liang Yi humbly waved his hand, choosing to stick with the simple truth.

"Hehe," Qi’an let out a forced laugh of agreement.

I don’t believe you for a second! If you don’t want to tell me, just say it. Why make up such an outrageous lie?

Liang Yi raised his eyebrows but didn’t bother explaining. After all, if speaking the truth isn’t believed, that’s not his problem. Besides, he honestly told you the method; if you can’t find one yourself, you can only blame your own bad luck.

"So, what does Young Hero Liang plan to do with this Crystal Core? Auction it? Exchange it for other resources? Or have the Wind God Commerce find a top craftsman to turn it into a Magical Treasure?" Qi’an revealed a business-like smile, knowing the commerce could earn a hefty commission either way.

"Um... help me exchange it for some things. Exchange what can be exchanged, and turn the rest into spiritual coins," Liang Yi said after thinking it over. The Immortal Sword he intended to craft for his junior sister required not only extremely rare celestial materials but also other purchasable materials.

"Four taels of Sky Star Sand, three pieces of Eclipsed Silken Featherstone, one jin of Mist Spirit Flame Iron..." Liang Yi listed about eight or nine materials in a fragmented manner. Most of them were around sixth-grade, with Sky Star Sand being fifth-grade, and the amounts needed weren’t large.

"Alright, please wait a moment, Young Hero Liang. The commerce will prepare these for you immediately," Qi’an looked somewhat surprised – so many forging materials required, could it be that Young Hero Liang wants to craft a Magical Treasure? However, the grades of these materials aren’t particularly high; it seemed the weapon crafted wouldn’t be of high grade either.

After seeing Qi’an personally overseeing his servants to prepare the materials, Liang Yi stood up, ready to find his junior sister Youyi, who was strolling on this floor with little Yue Bai.

Each floor of the Wind God Commerce was unreasonably large, and countless cultivators came to shop, making each level crowded with people.

"Oh? There they are." Liang Yi walked and browsed until he finally spotted his junior sister and the small figure at a product counter.

"Hmm?" Liang Yi looked closely and realized his junior sister seemed to be in trouble.

"Young lady, this treasure fan isn’t suited for a woman like you," said a fat-faced young master in a crimson silk robe holding a folding fan, cockily scrutinizing Su Youyi and little Yue Bai while leaning on the counter, one hand on his chin. Two Fourth Realm guards stood behind him, coldly sweeping the surroundings.

"What does buying items have to do with my gender? And, please move away from us, or I will have to act," Su Youyi said coldly, watching this fool who appeared out of nowhere.

"Eh, miss, it’s fine if you dislike me. However, judging by your simple dress, it doesn’t matter if you’re buying for your lover or for yourself; that treasure fan isn’t cheap, and you most likely can’t afford it. How about this..." The young master leaned on the counter with one hand while playfully twirling his folding fan with the other.

"I’ve taken a liking to this half-demon here, so why don’t you sell me this servant? The price in spiritual coins doesn’t matter; I want it."

Su Youyi and Liang Yi were both simply disguised, but little fox Yue Bai was not, her already emergent allure as clear as day.

The little fox, pointed at by the fat master’s fan, was frightened and quickly hid behind Su Youyi, tightly grasping her hand and looking at her pleadingly, conveying her fear.

"Little Yue Bai, don’t worry, your sister won’t sell you," Su Youyi reassuringly touched the little fox’s head and then looked up with an expression as cold as ice, uttering one word: "Scram!"

"You!" Lu Family’s second young master Lu Zhengzhen had never been treated this way by a woman and now pointed at Su Youyi, fuming.

The commotion wasn’t minor and naturally drew countless gazes.

"That’s the second young master of the Lu Family? Wasn’t he confined by Minister Lu, how has he been let out to cause trouble again?"

"Have you not heard? The eldest son of the Lu Family is a dragon, but the second son is but a worm, misbehaving everywhere, relying on his family’s power."

"Alas, another young girl is going to be unlucky..."

The crowd pointed and commented on Lu Zhengzhen, their words filled with disdain. In the Qingliang environment, where the overall atmosphere is rather strict, such a brazenly misbehaving young master was naturally disliked.

At this time, the guards of the Wind God Commerce took notice of the situation here. However, they did not recognize Su Youyi who had disguised herself and did not see her coming out of the VIP compartment, so they hesitated about whether to stop Lu Zhengzhen.

"Don’t be ungrateful, you stinking..."

Before Lu Zhengzhen could finish, he found his pointing finger grasped by a young man. He saw the young man give a slight smile, causing Lu Zhengzhen to be somewhat stupefied.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound of a bone breaking rang out; the index finger on Lu Zhengzhen’s right hand that was pointing at Su Youyi snapped off.

"Ahhh!!!"

The pampered Lu Zhengzhen, used to being treated with kid gloves, would normally rest for three days even with a scraped skin, let alone such pain penetrating deep into the bone. He immediately knelt down on the ground, screaming in pain, rolling around.

Su Youyi looked with a sweet face at the figure before her, while little Yue Bai was also peeking out from behind her big sister, surprised and delighted.

"How daring!"

"Despicable!"

Two angry rebukes came from Lu Zhengzhen’s guards. Two radiant blades carrying the Lu Family’s unique bright flame, slashed towards the person who had acted, prompting a shocked outcry from the onlooking crowd.

Yet, the blade lights stopped still just above Liang Yi’s head, motionless; no matter how hard the guards spurred their mana, it was all in vain, unable to chop down or pull back.

The two long knives carrying the wild bright flame were effortlessly pinched by one hand of Liang Yi. The bright flames, brought forth by Qinglian Creation, became as submissive as kittens seeing a tiger, utterly docile.

Void gave rise to water, water streams transformed into pillars which easily tied up the two guards firmly.

To outsiders, these two guards seemed like they were throwing a fake fight, falling without even resisting. But who knew the helplessness in the hearts of the guards?

Did they not want to resist? The moment the water streams wrapped around them, the Sword Qi contained within shattered all their defensive measures, restricting the flow of their mana.

Had it not been for the young man in front of them wanting to spare their lives, they would have been long gone, reincarnated by now.

Even fools knew their second young master had kicked an iron plate. Could a normal Third Realm cultivator instantaneously knock down two Fourth Realm Body Cultivation guards?

"Are you alright?" Liang Yi asked, turning his head back.

"Hehe, with Senior Brother here, of course, I’m fine." Su Youyi’s face was filled with giggles, feeling that Senior Brother was unbelievably handsome. However, had her Senior Brother not made the first move, she was just about to decapitate that fat pig with one swing of her sword.

"Yue Bai is also fine, thanks to Sister Youyi’s protection." The little fox spoke weakly; she felt like she shouldn’t interject, but she couldn’t ignore her master’s question either.

"It’s good that you’re fine. Let me handle the situation below." Liang Yi gave a gentle smile and then turned to look at the young master who was still screaming in agony on the ground.
