Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 169: Miss Liuli, do you want to have sex? [Seeking monthly votes]

Outside the South China Sea, there are mermaids who live in water like fish, but they still weave. When they cry, pearls come out of their eyes.

The mermaids originally lived in the deep South China Sea, a vast ocean isolated from human habitation. Apart from playing around every day, they would lie on the rocks, listening to the wind, basking in the sun, and singing to their heart's content.

Until one day, a storm suddenly arose in the South China Sea. A ship lost its way in the storm and mistakenly entered the deep sea, attracting the attention of the mermaid.

Mermaids are different from monsters. Monsters are half human because they are not powerful enough, while mermaids are born that way, but they also admire humans.

If a ship lost in the sea cannot find its way in time, it is most likely to be lost. The mermaids have strict rules and are not allowed to come into contact with humans.

But the moon was too bright and the sea was too blue that day, and the mermaid was attracted to a sailor on the deck at first sight.

The sailor had delicate features, red lips and white teeth. There was a feminine air between his brows and his body was thin. He was truly a delicate lady, like a lotus emerging from water.

The mermaid used her singing to attract the sailors' attention and express her love to them. In order to return home safely, the sailors accepted the mermaid's kindness. The mermaid relied on her instinct to lead the ship away from the wind and waves and brought them back to the shore.

After returning to the shore, the mermaid learned that the sailor was actually a woman. The female sailor apologized to her and said that she had not deceived her on purpose, but just wanted to return home. Now that she had returned safely, she was grateful and wanted to invite the mermaid to her home.

The mermaid was a little disappointed, but didn't care much. She didn't care about the gender of the creature. She didn't mind that the sailor was a woman, so she followed him home.

Unexpectedly, when he just arrived at the sailor's house, instead of seeing the delicious food he had imagined, he was greeted by a steel knife.

A few vicious men captured the mermaid and put it in a huge water tank, forcing it to cry.

It was rumored that the mermaid's tears turned into pearls, and the female sailor was just greedy.

In order to prevent the mermaid from escaping, the female sailor and her family asked for some talismans that could control water creatures, and used them to trap the mermaid for five years. During these five years, she tortured the mermaid in various ways, forcing her to cry and exchanging her tears for money.

The mermaid didn't understand what she had done wrong, and at first she felt pain and confusion. But later, in the endless torture, she began to feel resentful.

The mermaids are human-like and have a good talent for cultivation. If the mermaid girl was not young and her strength was not very weak, she would not be trapped here.

As resentment grew, the mermaid used it to practice quietly and her strength continued to grow.

Half a year later, the mermaid took advantage of the time when the sailor's father was changing his talisman to lure the sailor's father, killed him when he was not prepared, and escaped when the original talisman became ineffective.

The first thing the mermaid did after escaping was to kill all the female sailors under the cover of darkness and strong wind.

After taking revenge, she should have left and returned to the pure land of the South China Sea, but the mermaid couldn't extricate herself after experiencing the taste of killing.

Human blood makes it instinctively obsessed, and its strength grows rapidly after eating human flesh and blood.

The mermaid did not return to the depths of the South China Sea and began hunting in the human world.

First, it created storms in the waters outside the South China Sea, killing countless sailors. However, making a living on the sea is full of unexpected events, and perhaps a big wave is enough to kill an entire ship's worth of people.

The mermaid is bloodthirsty, but also knows how to conceal her actions. Each time she attacks, the intervals between attacks are never too close, and she uses some means to create an accidental shipwreck.

After all this, the people did not think that there was any evil spirit at work, but just thought that the people who went out to sea died in the storm.

However, as this happened more and more often, some rumors about gods and ghosts spread in the sea. The people felt that the ocean had offended God, so shipwrecks occurred frequently and the number of ships going out to sea gradually decreased.

The mermaid fell into a deep sleep due to heavy resentment. This time she slept for hundreds of years. Just when everyone thought that the "curse" of the South China Sea was over, she woke up again and killed people.

However, this time it did not stay in the South China Sea for too long, but came to inland areas, because its strength was enough to support it to travel on earth.

Over the years in the inland, it has pretended to be a mountain god to deceive people in sacrifices and also pretended to be a river god to eat people. It was later discovered and captured by the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Lu Zhan read through the life story of the mermaid in a revolving manner and put the dissected body away.

It was difficult for him to comment on the mermaid's experience.

Killing the sailor's family is a normal act of revenge, and anyone would do the same.

If the mermaid had not involved so many innocent people and children, the Demon Suppression Bureau would not have imprisoned it even if they caught it.

But revenge was not enough for it, it had to eat hundreds of innocent lives. Naturally, the Demon Suppression Bureau would not forgive it.

Lu Zhan suddenly thought of the pair of toad killers.

The pair of toads longed for a beautiful relationship, but because of their ugly looks, no one loved them. They were angry and ashamed, and were later "recruited" by the Qi Jue Sect and became killers. They liked to kill handsome human men the most.

There are tens of millions of monsters in the world, some are pure and kind, some are strict with themselves, but most of them are "chaotic and lawful", and once the balance is broken, they will start killing immediately.

...

The moon was high in the sky, and the bright moonlight shone into the dense ginkgo trees, like broken silver just falling to the ground, but then blown away by the night wind, making the shadows hazy and not very real.

The matter of the mermaid was just an episode. After the autopsy, Lu Zhan locked the door and prepared to go to the black market.

"Where do you want to sneak away?"

A head suddenly popped out from the tall white wall. A little girl with a bun made from a Yuanbao style bun struggled to climb up the wall, and sat down with her legs across the top of the wall. She turned her pink face and stared at Lu Zhan with her watery eyes, as ferocious as the dean who caught her classmates going out. But she had a cute appearance, so she really couldn't be fierce.

"Come down!"

Seeing her sitting in such a fierce posture, Lu Zhan frowned and scolded her.

The little goblin's expression suddenly stopped being fierce. He came down from the wall obediently, patted the dust off his butt, and asked in confusion: "Where are you going so late?"

"You want to take care of this too?" Lu Zhan pinched her cheek and suddenly felt something was wrong: "Spying on me?"

His handsome face turned serious, his dark eyes were somewhat cold, and although he didn't say much, it was enough to shock people.

The little goblin said hurriedly: "It was Jiang GunGun who asked me to keep an eye on you!"

Lu Zhan was not expecting this. Looking at the funny look of the little goblin confessing himself, he laughed: "Are you two still in touch?"

"Well... she will write to me too." The little fairy put her hands behind her back and said shyly, "She said that as long as I report your itinerary to her, she will give me Xiuyinfang honey, which is delicious..."

Lu Zhan pinched her nose but felt helpless in his heart. Although Jiang Jiang was overnourished, he was still young and had a hot temper. He was not as scheming as Yueyue and Xiaochu. Having the little goblin staring at him was not a matter of trust or distrust. It was purely a sign that Jiang Jiang was too naive.

"Do you want to go to the black market together?" Lu Zhan asked.

"Where is the black market?"

“A place that sells sunflower seeds.”

Xiao Que'er's eyes lit up immediately: "Go! I'll change my clothes first!"

Lu Zhan: “…”

As expected, it is women’s nature to dress up before going shopping.

Not long after, the little goblin ran back from home.

She changed out of her favorite aqua green dress and wore a loose pink shirt instead. The night wind blew it as bright as clouds. Her jet-black hair fell to her waist. Her small, oval face was fair and delicate, tender and green, and her dark eyes looked like a husky getting ready to go out.

Hmm... no wonder Jiang Jiang asked Xiao Que'er to keep an eye on her... two Huskies can always play together.

There are many mountains in Jinling. At night, the lights of the houses in the mountains are dotted, which look like ghost lights from afar.

Lu Zhan brought Xiao Que'er to Jinshui Town. The ordinary town was completely silent. Xiao Que'er looked around curiously, as if wondering where the ghost market was.

"Change back to your original form first."

"why?"

“Because you don’t have a brand.”

The little bird obediently turned back into a bird, standing on Lu Zhan's shoulder, watching Lu Zhan walk straight to a big tree, take out a shiny sign, and walk into a water vortex.

The water ripples, and the view becomes clear and bright.

A bustling market appeared ahead, with bright lights and people coming and going, in stark contrast to the loneliness outside the vortex.

Little Que'er couldn't wait to transform into a human form, and her pink gown shuttled through the night, like a night-blooming cereus that was too shy to show its face but had to bloom.

The market is quite lively tonight, with many more little demons on the stalls.

There is a vendor with a pig's head and a human body selling mushrooms, all of which are picked by hand.

A vendor with a tiger body and a human head was selling pure free-range chickens, which were said to have been killed in the morning.

There were also many minotaurs selling milk. They were not strong enough and could only maintain half of their human bodies. Lu Zhan had a strange expression on his face and instinctively stayed away from the minotaurs.

Xiao Que'er however was not as excited as before. She walked beside Lu Zhan, holding his belt tightly, her little face a little pale.

"How scary! They are all monsters." Xiao Que said softly, a little nervous.

"Aren't you also a monster?" Lu Zhan's mouth twitched: "Have you forgotten your identity?"

Xiao Queer blinked: "That's right..."

She loosened Lu Zhan's belt, but still stuck close to him, walking forward step by step, occasionally sticking her head out to look at the lively scenes on both sides of the street. When she saw the ferocious-looking monsters, her little hand couldn't help but grab Lu Zhan's sleeve.

"Don't be afraid, we have to sell things first before we can buy anything."

There was a hint of tenderness in Lu Zhan's tone as he touched her head. She squinted her eyes and rubbed her palm, seeming to become much bolder.

There are a lot of things in the spiritual ring, but good things are never hard to sell.

In order to sell the demon bones, Lu Zhan came to the Ghost Fire Palace.

...

The Ghost Fire Palace is a place that specializes in refining equipment, so naturally it would collect these refining materials. Lu Zhan had not sold them to the Ghost Fire Palace before, because he was still thinking about refining other magical instruments at the time. Now that he thought about going to the East China Sea anyway, he might as well sell these things.

"Mr. Lu." The waiter bowed to Lu Zhan, then looked at Yun Que beside him and bowed as well: "Hello, Miss."

The Skylark King raised his head, blinked, and bowed like the other party: "Hello, young lady."

The waiter's eyelids jumped.

"Little Bird is naughty." Lu Zhan explained with a smile, waving his sleeves to take out the demon bones from the spirit ring: "Does the Ghost Fire Palace accept these things? I want to sell them all."

"Sir, are you planning to sell all of these?" The waiter looked at what Lu Zhan took out with a surprised look.

Fox bones, pig bones, mermaid bones and two toad monster bones at the peak of the Mysterious Realm.

For the Guihuo Palace today, it is rare to have such a big customer.

"Not bad." Lu Zhan nodded. "I don't need any of these. I made some magic tools for you last time. We are old customers. If the price is reasonable, I will send them to you."

"Wait a moment." The waiter didn't dare to make a decision and was busy reporting to his superiors.

Soon the sound of a wheelchair could be heard, mixed with bursts of faint fragrance wafting from the second floor.

Through the green gauze curtain embroidered with flowers and birds, one can see that there is a woman sitting behind the screen. Judging from her breathing, it should be Guihuo Liuli.

Guihuo Liuli was wearing a black feather robe, her long black hair was untied and fell softly behind her. Her slender waist was wrapped in a gold-embroidered waist belt, which made her frail body look even more slender. Her skin was pale and her figure was thin, like a candle swaying in the wind.

The fair face was covered with a veil, revealing only a pair of eyes. The red pupils were as bright as fire, yet they carried a deathly calmness.

She was still sitting behind the green tent, her voice as weak as the falling snow on a cold night: "Ten thousand taels."

Lu Zhan did not respond immediately.

She was not in a hurry. She did not look at the materials, but looked at the handsome young man below: "Ghost Fire Palace is honest and trustworthy, and never cheats customers. If you are satisfied with the price, you can stay."

"Deal." Lu Zhan knew the value of these things and just wanted to negotiate with them. Since the other party came straight to the point, he stopped wasting time.

Ten thousand taels is not a loss.

"Sir, if you have such items in the future, you can send them directly to the Ghost Fire Palace. We in the Ghost Fire Palace will not treat our partners unfairly."

She coughed a few times every time she spoke, just like the delicate winter plum that couldn't stand the bitter cold.

Such a weak posture makes people subconsciously hold their breath when talking to her, not daring to disturb her.

Lu Zhan pondered for a moment, and then said, "It would be a good thing to be able to cooperate for a long time. However, although I haven't met the Palace Master, the Palace Master seems to be weak and I'm afraid that his body has already been depleted. I wonder if he needs these two items."

After he finished speaking, a light appeared in Lu Zhan’s palm, and two spiritual herbs appeared. They were the Eight-Leaf Mysterious Ice Grass and Phoenix Blood Ganoderma given by the Black Bear Demon.

He kept the Nine-Revolution Golden Sun Flower. Such a rare elixir would have to wait until he broke through to a higher realm before using it.

However, these two spiritual herbs are of little use to him, so it would be better to sell them.

"Miss Liuli, do you want some grass?" Lu Zhan asked with a smile.

"Ahem..." Ghost Fire Liuli's red eyes narrowed, as if she was a little surprised that Lu Zhan had so many treasures in his hand. Her coughing became more intense, like a delicate flower blown away by the wind. After a long while, she said concisely: "Yes."

"How much do you think these two plants are worth?"

"It's worth ten thousand taels." Guihuo Liuli slowly calmed down and said, "Two plants for ten thousand taels, are you satisfied, sir?"

"The Palace Master is a straightforward person, so I won't say much." Lu Zhan handed two spiritual herbs to the waiter.

Will-o'-the-wisp Liuli said in a gentle voice: "It's a pleasure to work with you."

Two top-grade spiritual medicines were sold for ten thousand taels.

Lu Zhan returned with a full load, he continued to stroll around with Xiao Que'er, the flesh and blood of mermaids was not suitable for refining pills, but was suitable for refining oil, and there were places on the black market that would buy it at a high price.

After Lu Zhan left, the Ghost Fire Palace attendant bowed to Ghost Fire Liuli, his face showing excitement: "We are in need of these two kinds of spiritual medicines for this alchemy. Now that we have them, we can have people start refining the Great Return Pill."

Guihuo Liuli covered her lips with a handkerchief and said sickly, "I've taken more than a dozen pills, but they don't seem to have any effect. I'm just hanging on to my life."

The waiter dared not speak.

Only after hearing the sound of the wheelchair fade away did the waiter heave a sigh of relief and hurriedly took the two elixirs to make the elixir.
