Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 26 Let's Make a Deal
However, Gong Lili's heart moved. From the other party's tone, it seemed that he was very familiar with Yan Zheng and they seemed to have a good relationship. If he told him the truth, he wondered if he could get a 'Nirvana Returning Phoenix Pill' for Yan Zheng.
Gong Lili was secretly calculating that at worst, he could just use courtesy first and then force. If the other party disagreed, he could just take it by force. He even secretly calculated that if he captured this person alive, would his life be worth a 'Nirvana Huifeng Pill' to the Shen family?
The evil man from the Shen family would never have thought that this seemingly delicate girl in front of him was actually planning something like this in her mind.
Thinking of this, Yinglili cupped her hands and bowed to the other party: "Master Shen, I apologize for my previous intrusion and offense. We..."
"You are such a boring . Before apologizing, shouldn't you first state your name to show your sincerity?" The evil man rudely interrupted the words that Gong Lili had prepared in advance. For some reason, every word this evil man said made Gong Lili want to strangle him to death!
Tell me your name? Could she reveal her identity? A moment of hesitation flashed through Ying Lili's mind, but she quickly made a decision. She pursed her lips and said seriously, "Shamo Clan, Yao Ji."
This time, it was Yan Xiaoxiao who was stunned first. Yan Lili could feel that her body stiffened slightly when she said Yao Ji's name. Could it be that she also knew Yao Ji? But she didn't have time to think about it. She was more concerned about the reaction of the evildoer.
The demonic man from the Shen family was stunned when he heard the name. He shook his head and said, "Looking like you now, I'm afraid even your mother wouldn't recognize you. How can I be sure that you are the reincarnation of the former chief wizard of the Shamo tribe? Besides, how could the chief wizard of the Shamo tribe be reduced to a thief?"
He really knew Yao Ji, and even knew that she was Yao Ji's reincarnation. Ying Lili secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed not her wish to use Yao Ji's name at this time, but she had no intersection with the Shen family. Even if she said her own name, it would be meaningless. However, Yao Ji was different. Since their Shen family could move here, it was of course due to Yao Ji's kindness. Ying Lili hoped that this evildoer of the Shen family would be able to see Yao Ji's kindness and readily fulfill their wish.
"Let's be frank, let's not beat around the bush. We have no choice but to come here this time because Yan Zheng was seriously injured in the hall and needs your Shen family's 'Nirvana Huifeng Pill' to save his life. So we are anxious to save him and may be a bit abrupt. Please forgive me. As for whether I am Yao Ji, I naturally have a way to prove it. I just don't know if Mr. Shen can show mercy and give us a 'Nirvana Huifeng Pill' to save people if I prove my identity?" Although Gong Lili looked sincere and had a burning gaze, she was thinking in her heart that if he dared to refuse, she would fight with him. She would capture him alive no matter what and use his life to exchange for Yan Zheng's medicine!
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the Shen family's top-notch demon stopped pursuing Gong Lili's true identity, seemingly believing it completely. He blinked his enchanting peach blossom eyes and sighed, "Brother Yan is truly blessed. Just getting injured can attract two girls to run around for him like this, and he can even trouble the Shamo tribe's chief wizard to personally take action. He is truly blessed with beauty. If possible, I really want to trade with him."
When Ping Lili heard his sarcastic words, her eyebrows raised and her eyes were filled with anger. She wanted to go up and slap him to death and destroy him humanely.
But at this moment, she heard a chaotic sound of footsteps, and several people came in hurriedly from outside. Ying Lili turned around and saw, wow, it was a riot of colors. Four beautiful women rushed in together, one red, one green, one purple and one white. It was okay, they were all solid colors, not as fancy as the one worn by the Shen family's monster. Judging from their dress, they looked like maids. The four colorful maids rushed in and saw her and Yan Xiaoxiao, and their faces changed suddenly.
"How dare you! Where did this little thief come from? How dare you break into the Shen family's alchemy room!" The maid in purple spoke first. There was a bit of heroic spirit between her brows, at least more heroic than this monster from the Shen family.
Ping Lili and Yan Xiaoxiao looked at each other, moved quietly, and gradually approached the direction of the evil man, thinking that if a fight really broke out, they would subdue the evil man first.
At this moment, several five-colored diamond-shaped yarns suddenly flew out, forming a circle of diamond-shaped yarns, surrounding Ying Lili and Yan Xiaoxiao in the center. It seemed that the Shen family was no ordinary family. Several of their maids had such strength. However, if this level of skill was displayed outside, it could be shown off, but in front of Ying Lili, it was just a trifle. Ying Lili did not take it seriously at all, thinking that she would burn them to death in a fire. She was too lazy to even look at them twice, and her eyes fell directly on the evil man of the Shen family. What she cared about at this moment was his answer: "Master Shen, I wonder what you think about my request just now?"
"How dare you! How dare you be so presumptuous on our Shen family's territory!" The maid in red couldn't help but shout at her when she saw her speaking so brazenly to her master. However, the evil man gave her a cold look: "Who let you in? Get out!"
"Master..." The maid in green wanted to say something else, but was stopped coldly by the evil man: "I said get out! All of you get out, can't you hear me?!"
The four maids looked at the unhappy expression on their young master's face, and dared not say anything more. They nodded a few times and quietly retreated.
Ying Lili raised an eyebrow, wondering what this evildoer was planning. Did he think he had complete control over the situation? Or was he absolutely certain that Ying Lili and Yan Xiaoxiao were no match for him? Where did this confidence come from?
The maid's call of "Young Master" had only made Yinglili even more certain of his identity. It seemed this enchanting man was indeed a descendant of the Shen family, and not to mention a high status. Spiritual energy was faintly gathering at Yinglili's fingertips, as if she were already preparing for the worst.
"Brother Yan and I have always been good friends. Since you want to save his life, I naturally have no reason to refuse. I can give you this 'Nirvana Huifeng Pill', but..." The demonic man of the Shen family seemed to ponder for a moment, but his expression looked a little frivolous. His eyes fell on Gong Lili without hesitation, looking him up and down. Gong Lili felt a little uneasy, but he still hurriedly asked, "But what?"
"Miss Yao Ji must be aware that that thing is also a rarity for our Shen family and cannot be easily given to others, unless you are willing to negotiate terms with me." When he said this, a strange look suddenly flashed across his slender eyebrows, which made Ping Lili even more frightened.
When she heard him say that before, Ying Lili secretly guessed that the other party must be putting forward conditions, but she thought about it and couldn't figure out what bargaining chips she had that were worth the other party's consideration. But now that she needed help, she could only bite the bullet and say, "Name your conditions."
"Young lady, you're a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush. Since you're the reincarnation of Yao Ji, you must possess the blood of the Nine Yin Mysterious Desolate. You should also know that the blood of the Nine Yin Mysterious Desolate is extremely rare, only seen once in a thousand years. For us alchemists, it's a top-grade alchemy material that's hard to come by. So, since you have a request for me, I won't be polite. I can give the medicine to that young lady and let her take it away, but you have to stay and use your Nine Yin Mysterious Desolate blood to help me refine the elixir."
Even though Gong Lili had made various plans before, she did not expect that the condition offered by the other party would be to let herself be exchanged. But on second thought, Wei Xingying seemed to have taken her heart blood to refine pills before. It was not surprising that this monster from the Shen family coveted her Nine Yin Xuanhuang blood. However, on second thought, what should she do if this monster cheated, gave her fake medicine, and kept her?
Being left behind is a small matter, but if Yan Zheng's treatment is delayed, it will be a big problem.
"I can agree to your request, but how do I know whether the medicine you give me is real or fake? If you lie to me, I will be helpless." Gong Lili snorted coldly, not hiding her distrust of him.
"This, how can this be possible!" Yan Xiaoxiao became anxious when she heard that Gong Lili actually agreed to exchange herself for the Nirvana Huifeng Pill. Although Yan Xiaoxiao was a woman from the martial arts world, she was also a person who valued friendship. Although she was anxious to save Yan Zheng, she was unwilling to see Gong Lili make such a sacrifice.
Ping Lili knew what she was thinking, turned to her and smiled bitterly, "Little girl, I have my own decision. You don't need to persuade me. The most urgent thing is to save Yan Zheng first."
"But, you..." Yan Xiaoxiao looked at the determination in Ping Lili's eyes. Although she was very moved, she didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, girls. My Shen family and the Shamo Clan have always been on good terms. I also have a good relationship with Brother Yan. There's no need for me to risk retaliation from the Shamo people by doing something so foolish. I, Shen Fei, swear in the name of the 24th generation head of the Shen family that if you agree to my terms and stay to help me refine the elixir, I will keep my promise and give you the real 'Nirvana Huifeng Pill'."
Shen Fei? Yan Xiaoxiao's mouth suddenly opened wide, as if she had finally remembered some gossip she had heard in the hall. "Are you the genius alchemist Shen Fei, known as the 'Void Saint Hand'?"
The enchanting man's narrow brows suddenly narrowed into a slit, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he pulled out a charming smile that seemed to be able to charm everyone. He seemed very satisfied with the other party's reaction: "It is me."
At this moment, Ying Lili didn't care who he was. As long as he gave her the medicine, he could say he was the emperor. "Since Master Shen said so, it's a deal. Please give the pill to my friend as soon as possible and take it back to save his life."
"No hurry. The two girls are so good at light work that they can enter and exit my Mingyue Canyon as if it were an empty place. Naturally, I also have my concerns. If I give you the medicine and you run away together, I will lose both my wife and my soldiers. I won't do such a loss-making business." Shen Fei frivolously stretched out a finger and shook it in front of his eyes, shaking his head.
