Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits - Chapter 108 - 99: Total
Chapter 108: Chapter 99: Total
Su Lin didn’t know these two people who appeared suddenly.
But no matter who they were, he didn’t want to be used as a weapon by these two sisters.
Thus, as he quietly left the area where the tension was growing thick, he even used “Hidden” to reduce his presence.
The effect was immediate, and the passersby who were nervously watching the standoff between Zhang Shuo and the twins didn’t even notice how he slipped quietly from the stall into the crowd.
Zhang Shuo and the Song Sisters, who were close and powerful, did notice his action.
Zhang Shuo didn’t recognize this third generation member of the Su Family and simply considered him an irrelevant passerby, thus paid no attention.
Only the Song Sisters nearly laughed in anger.
Song Yiyi pouted and cursed under her breath, “Dog man!”
Song Yiren shook her head helplessly; Young Master Lin indeed truly understood the art of self-preservation. Cherishing the fairer sex? This word seemed not to exist in his dictionary.
When she looked again at Zhang Shuo and his companion, the gentle smile she had when chatting with Su Lin was long gone, replaced by sheer indifference.
“Forty-five,” she opened her red lips, her voice detached.
“Fifty,” Li Zongxin followed up leisurely.
Just as Song Yiren was about to raise the bid again, the dark-skinned stall owner who had been resting his eyes suddenly spoke:
“Put the things down.”
All eyes instantly shifted from the confrontation to the stall owner.
The stall owner’s face was ice-cold, his tone firm and forceful:
“I don’t welcome beasts here! Put the things down and then get lost!”
The words were like cold water splashed into a hot oil pan, instantly freezing the surrounding area, everyone staring in shock at this audacious stall owner.
Although everyone was deeply disgusted by Black Scale Village, these insane fools fought fearlessly, like mad dogs. Moreover, with the village’s four Tendon Locks and numerous exceptional Flesh Locks, ordinary forces were unwilling to provoke them, lest they be taken advantage of.
The stall owner, meeting Zhang Shuo’s chilling gaze, spoke calmly but with a suicidal audacity:
“I came to your wasteland with the caravan tour. If you have the guts, chase me down and kill me. If not, put your things down and be quiet.”
The crowd suddenly understood.
So it turns out he’s barefoot and unafraid of those wearing shoes.
Daring to follow a caravan through the wilderness, his strength is likely formidable as well.
Zhang Shuo’s bulging strange eyes scanned the stall owner’s face, producing a hissing sound in his throat, but surprisingly did not act out.
He casually tossed the piece of ore back onto the stall, and his greedy eyes once again glared viciously at the Song Sisters before turning away.
Song Yiren, seeing this, raised her hand to rub her temple helplessly.
The stall owner weighed the piece of Thunderstruck Magnetic Gold Iron and swiftly threw it to Song Yiren:
“Those beasts have eaten so much they’ve lost their senses, yet they extract more nourishment from human flesh than ordinary beast meat. To them, the stronger the person and the tenderer the flesh, the tastier it is. Take care of yourself.”
Song Yiren skillfully caught the ore, counted out fifty silver coins from her wallet, and handed them to the stall owner with a smile:
“Thank you for the warning.”
The stall owner happily accepted the payment, which exceeded his expectations.
Song Yiyi peeked out from behind her sister and made a face at Su Lin, who had unknowingly wandered back:
“The stall owner is more reliable than some family young master who runs away when things come up!”
Su Lin’s expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn’t heard Song Yiyi’s ridicule, and even flashed a slight smile:
“I’m glad to see both of you are safe and sound.”
He squatted down, picked up the Sinking Iron Essence he had his eyes on earlier, confirmed the price, and paid eight silver coins without hesitation.
Then, in front of the Song Sisters, he summoned his house title deed.
The celestial book shimmering silver appeared out of thin air, its pages turning automatically without wind, a blank page swiftly revealing detailed information about the Sinking Iron Essence.
Seeing this scene, Song Yiren understood, the corners of her lips curled into a faint, mocking smile.
Checking the information using the house title deed right in front of her, was he expressing dissatisfaction that she hadn’t mentioned the book could be used to check mineral information?
She didn’t mind, her gaze shifting to the distance.
Zhang Shuo and his companion hadn’t gone far, strutting through the marketplace.
Wherever they went, people avoided them like snakes and scorpions, instantly clearing a space of three meters square, afraid to touch them.
Song Yiren withdrew her gaze and suddenly gave Su Lin a graceful and courteous smile:
“Did the previous transaction make Young Master Lin have some opinions about me? How about we change the content of the transaction?”
“Oh?” Su Lin put away the Sinking Iron Essence, his sharp gaze on her, his internal alarm slightly triggered.
This woman’s mind was ever-changing, who knows what plans she’s plotting now.
Right now, he clearly felt the disparity in information between them.
The amount of information she held completely overwhelmed his own, making him feel like an inexperienced young boy under this disparity.
And his previous judgment of her seemed to have been mistaken.
While Song Yiren held the Snakehead Ground Daisy, a card crucial to the lifeline of the Su Family, clearly knowing their weaknesses.
In comparison, he was clearly in a passive position.
This feeling was truly unpleasant.
Song Yiren saw him hesitate, and with a gentle sway of her green skirt, gracefully approached him.
Suddenly, she leaned forward, her stunning face close to Su Lin’s ear, breathing gently, speaking in a whisper that only the two of them could hear:
“I am willing to offer Snakehead Ground Daisy in exchange for the Su Family assisting me… in exterminating Black Scale Village completely. How about that?”
Su Lin’s pupils suddenly contracted!
His body abruptly leaned backward, his eyes fixed on her flower-like smiling face, his voice deep:
“Are you serious?!”
The Snakehead Ground Daisy, desperately sought by the Su Family, crucial for the old man’s life, she was willing to use it for such terms?!
This was simply unbelievable!
What exactly was this woman plotting?!
Did she fear the threat of Black Scale Village?
Could it be?
Su Lin didn’t believe it.
“Naturally, it’s true.”
Song Yiren straightened her body, her hands gracefully positioned in front of her stomach, her smile still bright, but a cold light seemed to shimmer in her eyes.
“Moreover, any war gains from the annihilation of Black Scale Village, I will take nothing from it, all will go to the Su Family.”
She paused slightly, her red lips parting, revealing a secret unknown to most:
“As far as I know, there are five pieces of treasure meat hidden in Black Scale Village. And Young Master Lin need not worry the Black Scale leader will immediately consume it…”
She lowered her voice, carrying a tone of inside knowledge:
“Because consuming human flesh is the Demon Path!
“Consuming same-species flesh temporarily accelerates Qi and Blood accumulation, but at each later stage, it accumulates like a swamp, unable to progress, a heavenly penalty! Even with treasure meat in hand, they cannot advance, forcing them to hunt stronger martial artists…”
Song Yiren watched the shock flash in Su Lin’s eyes and casually finished her statement:
“Otherwise, why would Black Scale Village have as many as five pieces of treasure meat left?”
So that’s it!
Su Lin suddenly understood.
No wonder Black Scale Village was rich in treasure meat!
“If Young Master Lin still doesn’t believe.” Song Yiren encouraged further, her tone sincere: “I can hand over the Snakehead Ground Daisy to you tonight.”
