Chapter 191: Chapter 174: The Tenth Mist Event Commences

"Ma’am, three other parties are considering this unit right now. It could be signed for at any moment."

"The price I’m giving you is already the best I can offer."

"How about we look at a different unit?"

The real estate agent’s classic ’three-step’ playbook was being used perfectly on Xia Yu, who was browsing the property.

Too bad...

His tactics were never going to work.

Because Xia Yu wasn’t going to buy.

"Ma’am, shall I show you our model unit?"

The salesman could tell Xia Yu wasn’t likely to buy, but he didn’t brush her off or abandon her. His professionalism was commendable.

"Just a little longer."

Xia Yu said, glancing at her watch.

???

The salesman didn’t get it. ’What are we waiting for?’

Just as he was about to speak.

A commotion erupted at the entrance, followed by a large group of people flooding in.

Their clothes were varied, but they shared common traits: tight-fitting outfits, sneakers, and fierce expressions. One look was enough to know they weren’t to be messed with.

"What’s going on?"

The salesman muttered subconsciously. He then saw his manager hurry over, his face wreathed in smiles. "Gentlemen, are you here to buy a property?"

"Heh."

"Buy? We’re buying every single unsold unit you have here!"

Hong She’s declaration was overwhelmingly domineering.

He instantly silenced the room.

Yet no one thought he was bullshitting.

"You! You... and you! Get over here! Now!"

The manager’s smile grew even more genuine. He gestured to several of his prettiest saleswomen, who immediately bustled about serving tea and water, the picture of solicitousness.

Hong She was very satisfied.

Xie Shaokun, on the other hand, was dying of embarrassment. But after spending so much time with Hong She lately, he had guessed that the man’s behavior was nothing more than a facade.

He didn’t expose the act. Instead, his gaze swept across the main hall, landing instantly on Xia Yu.

Xie Shaokun first glanced at the surrounding surveillance cameras, then his eyes returned to Xia Yu, a silent question in his gaze.

He breathed a sigh of relief only after seeing her hand signal.

He strode over.

Xie Shaokun was walking beside Hong She, and his every move drew attention. Before long, all eyes were locked on Xia Yu.

"Yu."

He greeted her first.

"Mm."

Xia Yu gave a slight nod.

"Is Little Nannan not here?"

Xie Shaokun asked.

"She’s here."

Xia Yu said, "She has an upset stomach and is in the restroom."

"This won’t affect the mission, will it?"

Xie Shaokun asked, frowning.

"It won’t be a problem."

Xia Yu said calmly, "I already bought some montmorillonite powder for her."

"That’s good."

Xie Shaokun nodded. He was about to ask another question when he noticed the salesman’s odd stare. Frowning, he said to the man, "We have some things to discuss. Could you please give us a moment?"

"Oh, okay."

The salesman nodded, a beat too late, his expression growing even more bewildered.

"What’s our next move?"

Ignoring the salesman, Xie Shaokun turned to Xia Yu and asked.

"In ten minutes, go get the weapons from the cars."

Xia Yu said calmly.

For this Mist Event, they would be heading to the Otherworld. Unlike the first time, they would have to face a race from the Beast Clan: the Spiritual Apes.

They were one of the primary threats.

Fast, numerous, and skilled at climbing and throwing projectiles.

Many of the more powerful Spiritual Apes had even reached the First Grade Spiritual Ability Realm.

Their Monkey King had even reached the Second Grade Spiritual Ability Realm!

Its combat prowess was staggering.

Moreover, the area covered by this Mist Event was the Spiritual Apes’ territory. They would be fighting on their home ground, where their strength was certain to be amplified.

As for other potential threats...

Xia Yu wasn’t sure, but they had to prepare for the worst. She hadn’t entered this place personally in her previous life, so she couldn’t know if there would be any variables.

Resources: Spiritual Ape Meat, with a high probability of finding Monkey Brew!

Both could be consumed to advance one’s Spiritual Ability Realm.

The difference was...

The latter boosted one’s Spiritual Ability Realm much faster and more effectively.

Danger Level: Only one survivor from this event.

As for how that person survived, Xia Yu didn’t know.

She had already relayed this information to Xie Shaokun and his people, so there was no need to repeat it. Instead, she asked calmly, "Did your men bring weapons?"

"They did."

Xie Shaokun nodded. "They’re all in the cars."

"Mm."

"When you go to get your guns, have them retrieve their weapons as well."

Xia Yu said.

Meanwhile, Hong She was still busy haggling over prices and signing contracts with the sales manager’s team. Brother Dong and Second Sister-in-law, however, were focused on the woman beside Xie Shaokun—Xia Yu.

’Who is she?’

’Why is Xie Shaokun so respectful toward her?’

’Could she be the one in charge of Xie Shaokun and the others?’
