It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 665 So it was you who did the peacock thing, kid.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Oh!" Ou Ye said coldly.

"No, I'm just explaining the rationale behind my actions. After all, if I don't explain it clearly, you won't feel at ease keeping it for your appreciation, right?"

Liu Zheng laughed.

"Hmph. Come in."

Ou Yegan snorted coldly and opened the door.

"You look so young! You keep calling yourself an old man. I thought you were very old and decrepit."

Upon seeing his appearance, Liu Zheng laughed.

Ouyegan looked to be about thirty or forty years old, with a thin face, sword-like eyebrows, and sharply cut sideburns. His white hair was tied into a large braid that trailed behind his head. He wore a blue cloth robe, and his strong muscles stretched the robe into its shape.

In short, he's a muscular male version of Huang Yaoshi.

"I'm happy to do it, what's it to you? Take it or leave it, take your divine weapon fragments and get out of here."

Perhaps because the process of opening the door was not harmonious, Ouyegan's attitude became even worse after the door was opened.

But Liu Zheng was used to seeing cold faces, so he just laughed it off.

If Ouyegan greeted him with a smile and was overly attentive, he would suspect that the old man was trying to lure him in like a lamb to the slaughter.

"Yes, yes, hello old master, this junior greets you."

Liu Zheng bowed as he slipped inside.

Upon entering, there is a front yard with two locked small doors on either side and a hanging flower gate in front.

"follow me."

Ouyang led him through the hanging flower gate, across the courtyard, and into the main hall.

"Rong'er, bring some tea, nothing too fancy."

The two sat down according to their status as host and host, and Ou Yegan called out.

"Yes, daddy."

A woman behind the screen responded.

Before long, a girl dressed in a pink and white gauze dress with gold embellishments, her hair tied in many small braids and adorned with pearl hairpins, emerged from behind the screen carrying tea.

"Honored guest, please have some tea."

The girl put down her tea and bowed.

"Thank you, miss."

Liu Zheng also stood up and returned the greeting.

"Hmph, what distinguished guest? He's clearly an uninvited guest."

Ouyegan still harbored resentment towards his previous arrogance.

“I think this young master has come at just the right time, otherwise Father, you would have made me recite my lessons again.”

Ou Yerong smiled mischievously.

"Don't think you can escape. You'll still have to carry him after he leaves."

Ou Ye glared at her.

"Let's talk about that later. I need to go catch up on my show now. Please excuse me, sir."

Ou Yerong bowed slightly and then skipped away.

"They're really spoiled."

Oyegan shook his head.

"I think your daughter is lively and lovely, and she gets along very well with you, senior. As for my daughter, she is well-behaved and obedient, but she is a bit silly and makes people worry a lot."

Liu Zheng briefly explained Sesha's situation.

"Alas, every family has its own problems."

After hearing this, Ouyegan sighed, and his dislike for him lessened somewhat.

"You're helping that doctor so much, are you trying to become his son-in-law?"

"Ohegan said sarcastically."

"It's just mutual help among relatives and friends. If I were to become a son-in-law, I wouldn't even have enough tentacles to marry one of them."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Alright, alright, stop showing off. Tell me, what exactly are you here for?"

Ouyegan waved his hand and said.

“I heard that you have a kitchen knife called ‘Lazy’ in your collection, so I came here specifically to purchase it.”

He speaks bluntly.

"So that's what you came for. Hmm, I guess so, you're from the Bloody Restaurant. How many of the Seven Deadly Sins have you collected?"

"I asked curiously."

“I don’t know, and even if I did, I can’t tell you because of the restaurant’s rules. However, I have used ‘Gluttony’ and ‘Anger’ before.”

“‘Gluttony’ and ‘anger’, could you bring them to me to see?”

Ouyegan revealed a longing look in his eyes.

"'Gluttony' is hard to say, but if you're willing to sell me 'sloth,' I can bring 'anger' for you to play with later."

Liu Zheng replied.

"Oh, so you bought 'laziness' in exchange for 'anger'."

Oyegan guessed his purpose.

Liu Zheng smiled but remained silent.

"It's simple if I want to sell you 'Sloth', you just need to trade it for another Seven Deadly Sins."

"Oyegan said."

"Please stop joking with me, old man. If I had other seven deadly sins, why would I come to you directly?"

He said helplessly.

"Then I'll sell you the 'Sloth' Seven Deadly Sins set, and then I'll lose a whole series of collectibles, won't I?"

"Judging from what you're saying, you're not also a collector, are you?"

Liu Zheng's eyes flashed.

"So what?"

Did you participate in the last barter auction?

Liu Zheng asked.

"I participated. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything good, and the atmosphere at the auction was ruined by Peacock."

Oyegan complained.

As a renowned swordsmith in the metropolis, he possesses both great skill and high status, but he tends to be a homebody and dislikes causing trouble.

Going head-on against a peacock is suicide, but whispering a few words behind its back is something it's willing to do.

"hey-hey."

Liu Zheng chuckled twice.

"What are you laughing at all of a sudden? And it sounds so awful."

Oye gave him a cold look.

"Wait, you're not that hothead who challenged the peacock, are you?"

A flash of inspiration struck Ou Yegan.

"No talent, it's me."

Liu Zheng readily admitted it.

"You're insane! The peacock is insane, and so are you. How many lives do you have to take on the peacock?"

Oyegan exclaimed in shock.

As one of the wealthiest people in the metropolis, Peacock's temper is as famous as her power.

It's one thing to talk behind someone's back, but if someone dares to make her uncomfortable to her face, she'll chase them to the ends of the earth to get revenge.

It is said that someone once offended the peacock and fled abroad to avoid her.

In order to get revenge, Peacock abandoned her vast family business and chased after that person overseas to kill him.

Of course, revenge may feel good in the moment, but it will lead to disaster later.

Upon her return, she was confronted and brutally beaten by the Deputy Director of the Border Management Bureau, who was unable to retaliate because he was wearing the Supreme Speaker's gloves.

If the peacock dares to fight back, then the Supreme Council Chairman himself will come to beat her up.

Moreover, after the beating, the Border Agency made her pay an exorbitant fine, which directly made all the employees of the Border Agency have a very prosperous year.

Since that incident, the peacock's temper has subsided somewhat, but only to a limited extent.

After all, the fact that one can sneak across the border and return alive is itself a manifestation of strength and status.

"I didn't want to either. Who wants to go against that crazy woman? It's just that when you're in the world, you can't help yourself."

Liu Zheng sighed.

Peacock is a crazy woman, but isn't Si Xue also crazy?
Two crazy women are locked in a fierce battle, one of whom is his boss. What can he do?
It can only be that when the Kings of Hell fight, the little devils suffer.

"But then again, you're quite the guy to snatch something from a peacock."

Ouyegan praised him.

After all, few collectors find peacocks pleasing to the eye, so everyone is happy to see her get the short end of the stick.

"What about buying 'laziness'?" Liu Zheng asked, seizing the opportunity.

“One thing at a time. Since we’re all collectors, let’s stick to collectors’ rules and barter.”

Oyegan did relax the conditions a little.

"What do you think of this Tiger Soul fragment?"

Anyway, pandas aren't exactly precious, so at worst we can trade them for the inheritance jade slip.

"So this divine weapon is called Tiger Soul? Hmm, indeed, there's a faint roar of a tiger within its blade's intent. I just wonder what the other malevolent spirit is?"

Ouyegan fell into thought.

"Ahem, what do you think, sir?"

Liu Zheng coughed twice to wake him up.

“If it were a complete divine weapon, that would be fine, and I could even tailor-make a perfect set of weapons for you. Unfortunately, if it's just a fragment, it can't compare to ‘Sloth’.”

Oyegan shook his head.

If the "Seven Deadly Sins" could be gathered together, it wouldn't be inferior to this Tiger Soul Sword.

Even when the "Seven Deadly Sins" are separated, they are still top-quality weapons, but individual Tiger Soul fragments are not very useful.

"What if we add Taiyi Refined Gold?"

Liu Zheng increased his stakes.

Since these were spoils of war captured by them together, they couldn't just take them for free, but exchanging them for the panda wouldn't be a problem either.

"You actually possess such a thing? How many do you have?"

"Oyegan asked excitedly."

"There are probably only about ten claw tips."

He gestured.

"I thought you'd struck gold."

"I'm disappointed," Oyegan said.

If it were a piece of Taiyi refined gold ore, he could open a furnace and forge a good sword; but if it were just scraps, it wouldn't be of much use.

"How about this one?"

Liu Zheng gritted his teeth and took out the dragon fishing rod.

"Hey!"

Ouyegan stood up abruptly.

"What a waste of resources! What a waste of resources!"

He stroked the fishing rod, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"With such exquisite materials, such precious spiritual water, and such rare blood, how could the refining technique be so crude?"

"If it were given to me, I could refine it with my feet even with my eyes closed, and it would be better than this."

"Who, who is it that wastes such a treasure? I will definitely use a forging hammer to hone him and teach him the shame of wasting."

He said angrily to Liu Zheng.

"Um"

Liu Zheng could only shrug his tentacles, unable to say anything.

If Ou Yegan knew that the five-colored phoenix's freshly plucked feathers had been turned into a simple cloak by Si Xue, he would probably have a stroke on the spot.

Speaking of which, Si Xue is quite talented. She can do weapon crafting, magic, sewing, cooking and so on, but unfortunately she is good at everything but bad at everything.

“Give this to me, and I will give you ‘laziness’.”

"Oyegan said after he calmed down."

"Oh? I thought you didn't want it because you were so agitated just now."

Liu Zheng asked in surprise.

"Yes, why wouldn't I? I'm going to hang it in the workshop so everyone knows that if you haven't mastered the skills, don't waste good stuff."

"Oyegan said viciously."

"Then please take a look at these items."

After thinking for a moment, he took out "Hell Before My Eyes (Helheim)" and "Insect-Killing Voodoo Dagger".

"So you were the one who won this one too."

Oyegan stroked the scabbard and said.

He also participated in the auction and offered some very good items, but they were no match for Liu Zheng's "Master Key (Bloodline Curse)".

"Hmm, this dagger is also quite interesting. Although the forging technique is rather crude, the method of soul sacrifice and divine forging is quite ingenious, and in a way, it can be considered a naturally formed weapon."

Oyegan touched the insect-killing voodoo dagger again and said.

"Can this, combined with Taiyi Refined Gold, be exchanged for 'Sloth'?"

Liu Zheng asked.

The Dragon Fishing Rod is a guaranteed hit with strong crowd control, while the Hell in front of him is an extremely powerful attack buff. These two items are actually a set, and if he could, he really wouldn't want to give them up.

"Um"

Ouyegan pondered for a moment.

"Oh, by the way, I have a few more things here, could you please take a look?"

He slapped his forehead and took out the "Slaughtering Stone Fragment", "Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade Spring Water", and "Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade Spring Water Scale".

"Can you take it all out at once, like squeezing toothpaste?"

Ou Yegan said irritably.

"There's nothing I can do, I have too much stuff, and I don't usually use it."

Liu Zheng said helplessly.

"For a collector, remembering every single item in their collection is the most basic requirement. You didn't sneak into the auction, did you?"

"Is it suspicious?" Oye asked.

"Hehe, you guessed right again."

He said it without any embarrassment.

"Hmph, you're honest after all. Fine, I'll take them all, 'laziness' is yours."

Ou Yegan thought for a moment and said.

"Okay~"

Liu Zheng happily agreed.

Although this pile of stuff could probably be used to craft a perfect piece of equipment, there's no place in the future where you can find something ready-made that's better, and "Rage" suits him perfectly.

"The Taiyi Refined Gold is not with me right now. I'll go back and get it now. Please wait for me a moment."

Fearing that Ouyegan might change his mind, he piled everything onto the table.

"No rush, just bring it over when you have time. Okay?"

Ou Yegan looked at Liu Zheng and fell into deep thought.

"Please feel free to tell me what you need, it's creepy to be staring at me like that."

He shivered.

"Have you ever been possessed by a murderous aura?"

Ouyegan finally spoke.

"You noticed it, sir? Yes, look, it's right here."

Liu Zheng displayed the killing intent seal on the tentacles.

"Did the person who helped you seal it also tell you to find a swordsmith to transfer all the murderous intent and resentment into the weapon?"

"Yes, yes, that's absolutely right."

He nodded repeatedly.

"I've been wanting to start practicing swordsmanship lately, but I've been struggling to find inspiration. After seeing your things and the seal on your killing intent, I've had a few ideas."

"Oyegan said."

"Please speak, sir. I am all ears."

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Ou Yegan scoffed.

"Three cobblers can outwit Zhuge Liang. Besides, outsiders, not being involved in the situation, can sometimes come up with alternative ideas."

Liu Zheng laughed.

"Hmm, what do you think of the idea of ​​using a heart of ice and snow to control a weapon of madness and slaughter?"

After a moment's hesitation, Oyegan spoke.

"Okay, great!"

He said it without hesitation.

"You really think it's good?"

"Of course, it sounds incredibly cool and awesome. I've even thought of a name for the weapon for you: Snow Drinking Mad Blade. The matching sword technique will be called 'Ice Heart Technique.' What do you think?"

Liu Zheng suggested.

"The name is not bad, but why 'knife'? I still prefer sword making."

Ou Yegan thought for a moment and said.
