Chapter 2876: Chapter 2877: Personally Selected by Me
"Of course!"
Xue An waved his hand, and a spirit talisman at his waist emitted a radiant beam of light.
The light dispersed and formed a shimmering screen in the air.
Inside the screen was the view encapsulated within the spirit talisman.
In the image, the elf women were pale-faced, curled up together, seemingly devoid of life.
"This is..." Li Dengfeng hesitated.
"We had too much fun last night, and I accidentally absorbed a bit too much energy, but they’re just temporarily unconscious now. A few days of rest and they’ll be fine!" Xue An said nonchalantly.
Li Dengfeng’s eyelid twitched slightly, and he instinctively stepped back from Xue An.
Having run the Hundred Benevolence Store for so many years, he’s seen countless thugs, yet today, facing Xue An, there’s a chill in his heart.
In a single night, ten women nearly lost their lives to him, yet he spoke of it lightly, as if it was a trivial matter.
Li Dengfeng was not lacking in this disregard for life, yet somehow, it made him uncomfortable.
But in contrast to his apprehension, Han Bao was overjoyed, trembling with excitement.
The phrase remained true: the stronger Xue An appeared, the greater the possibility of him curing his unspeakable ailment.
Especially, seeing those once lively women now on the brink of death, Han Bao was sure that the secret formula Xue An gave him is real.
Seeing the hope he pursued for years finally within reach, how could he not be thrilled?
As the image dissipated, Xue An calmly said, "So do you understand why I need to order another batch?"
Li Dengfeng had no objections, nodded, and said, "It seems you’re surely not an ordinary person, so our Hundred Benevolence Store will fulfill this order, and within ten days, we’ll deliver another batch of goods to you!"
But Xue An shook his head, "No!"
"Then eight days!"
"Still not possible!"
Li Dengfeng frowned, "Sir, although capturing prey from low-dimensional realms seems easy, it actually requires extensive preparation, so even if we rush, it will take at least eight days for a round trip!"
"I’m not talking about time!"
"Then what is it?"
"This batch of goods is decent, but some have talents and constitutions that conflict with the cultivation technique I practice! So this time, I intend to personally select the goods I need!"
Li Dengfeng was taken aback, "What do you mean?"
"It’s simple, I want to accompany you to the low-dimensional realm to personally select suitable goods!"
"That’s impossible!" Li Dengfeng immediately refused.
Xue An didn’t hesitate, stood up, and started heading out.
"Hey, hey, hey, sir, what are you doing?" Han Bao hurriedly blocked him.
Xue An said calmly, "What am I doing? Since we can’t reach an agreement, naturally I’m leaving!"
Han Bao certainly couldn’t let Xue An leave.
Because his future happiness depended on Xue An.
Consequently, he hurriedly said with a smile, "Sir, please calm down, there must be some misunderstanding here. Allow me to discuss it carefully with the old proprietor, I’m sure there will be a turn for the better!"
"Hmph, then I’ll give you some face, but only for the time it takes to burn an incense stick!"
"Yes, yes, yes, please don’t leave, wait here for a moment!"
Han Bao hastily went to talk to Li Dengfeng, while Xue An stood waiting.
At this moment, Shu Jingchu quietly approached and whispered, "What kind of game are you playing? If they don’t agree, won’t you be left without a retreat?"
Hearing this, Xue An smiled lightly, "Don’t worry, they’ll definitely agree to these terms!"
"Why?"
Shu Jingchu couldn’t understand why Xue An was so confident that the Hundred Benevolence Store would agree to these terms.
In her mind, hunting in low-dimensional realms was the foundation of the Hundred Benevolence Store, their lifeline, how could an outsider be allowed to participate?
Xue An didn’t elaborate, but merely watched Li Dengfeng and Han Bao quietly discussing in the distance with a cold smile.
Han Bao lowered his voice and asked, "Old proprietor, why did you refuse this person’s proposal? If he wants to go, let him go; with Boss Left’s men there, he won’t cause much trouble!"
"You don’t understand!" Li Dengfeng shook his head, "If I agreed outright, it would arouse his suspicion, so even if I can allow him to accompany us, I can’t agree on the spot!"
"But I saw he was ready to leave the moment you refused!"
"Rest assured, he’s just testing our attitude; after tasting benefits, how can he leave so easily?"
"So what do we do now?"
"Go tell him that I said this matter can be negotiated, but he can’t go alone!"
"Yes!"
Han Bao excitedly returned to convey Li Dengfeng’s message to Xue An, who then, feigned displeasure, scoffed and returned to his seat, locking eyes with Li Dengfeng.
"What do you mean by not letting me go alone?"
"It’s simple, the route to the low-dimensional realm is a core secret of our Hundred Benevolence Store, so for safety, we need to send several people to escort you!"
In truth, both Li Dengfeng and Xue An understood that the so-called escort was actually surveillance.
However, neither acknowledged it explicitly.
Xue An nodded, "Alright, but once we reach the low-dimensional realm, you’ll have to cooperate with me, at least allowing me to properly select the goods!"
"Of course!"
"Then when do we set off?"
"I’m speeding things up here, how about in three days?"
"Fine!"
After the agreement was reached, Han Bao respectfully escorted Xue An out, and when they reached the door of the Hundred Benevolence Store, he cautiously asked.
"Sir, when is the best time to use the secret formula you gave me?"
"There’s no fixed time, you can decide as you please, but it’s best to choose a time when you’re free, as you’ll need to recuperate!"
"Great! If it really works, I won’t forget your great kindness!"
Xue An waved it off and left.
On the way back, Shu Jingchu could no longer suppress her curiosity and quickened her pace to catch up to Xue An.
"How can you be so sure that the Hundred Benevolence Store will agree to your terms?"
"Haha, because the Hundred Benevolence Store has ulterior motives regarding me!"
Xue An spoke a significant phrase, then strode away, leaving Shu Jingchu standing there bewildered.
Ulterior motives?
What kind of ulterior motives could the Hundred Benevolence Store have towards Xue An?
And as Shu Jingchu pondered this deeply, in the courtyard of the Hundred Benevolence Store, Li Dengfeng was carefully instructing someone.
"Once you reach that world, you must find a way to keep this guy stable."
