Misery: There is a pawn shop here

Chapter 94: Conversation Across the World
“Where did pawnshops come from and why did they arise?”

Inside the magic city, Beichen Yin appears to guide Master Fu Ying, who wants to explore the secret of the pawnshop.

Hearing the question raised by Master Fu Ying, Bei Chen Yin smiled, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid only the shopkeeper can answer this question, Your Excellency. I'm just an envoy."

"Your Excellency has used the number 03, so it seems that there are more than one envoys." Master Fu Ying said.

Beichen Yin didn't respond to Master Fu Ying's words, but instead said, "I'm here on the orders of the shopkeeper to take you two into the pawnshop for a while. However, the shopkeeper has already said that if you haven't expressed your intention to stay in the pawnshop by the time the time comes, I will leave. Time is running out for you two."

The corners of Master Fu Ying's mouth were still raised as if she were smiling, and she said calmly, "If this is a transaction, why does it have to be in your store's area? Is it possible that with the value of this transaction, plus the personal participation of the Empress, your store owner still thinks he is superior?"

"You are right." Suddenly, Li Xuanxiao's voice was heard from the dark passage.

Upon hearing this voice, Master Fu Ying and Jiu Huo remained calm, but they immediately became alert in their hearts.

Li Xuanxiao pretended to be completely oblivious and continued in his usual tone, "However, since this is a transaction, it naturally consists of two distinct markets: buyers and sellers. Given the current situation facing the Demon Realm, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to take the initiative against me."

"Ha." Master Fu Ying chuckled. "Even now, even though I've only revealed a fraction of my demonic realm's combat power, it's already causing great distress to the righteous. Could it be that in your eyes, it's still nothing special?"

"Of course not," Li Xuanxiao said. "The Demon Realm is indeed full of brave soldiers and generals, but without a leader, they are bound to be defeated one by one. The Flame Demon City may seem threatening, but in fact, the damage it causes to the resistance forces in the Bitter Realm is extremely limited."

"If you hadn't intervened, I think the results of the Demon Fire Battle would be more than this." Master Fu Ying stared straight into the dark passage, as if he could see the end.

"Shouldn't Your Excellency give the Demon Realm an explanation for this?"

"Alas." Li Xuanxiao sighed, "I'm only interested in trading, not bickering. Goodbye."

As soon as he finished speaking, Beichen Yin transformed into a stream of light and returned to the pawnshop's passage. Just as the passage was about to close, Master Fu Ying hurriedly said, "Wait a minute."

The passage was stuck for a moment, and then Li Xuanxiao said, "Do you have any other advice?"

Master Fu Ying smiled and said, "With such patience, you can hardly be considered a qualified businessman."

"It's a seller's market. I already have the goods, so why should I care about this one transaction?" Li Xuanxiao replied. "In a pawnshop, transactions are always fair and honest, and there's no possibility of forced buying or selling. All transactions are voluntary."

"What a conscientious businessman!" Master Fu Ying said, bowing. "In that case, why don't we both have a frank discussion? As for the location of the transaction, I don't think it will affect the outcome of our conversation, right?"

"That's certainly not wrong."

As soon as the words fell, Master Fu Ying and Jiu Huo both clearly sensed a wave of space ripples flowing, and then the dark entrance of the passage suddenly changed. When the black fog dissipated, a simple and luxurious, but slightly gloomy lobby came into their eyes. In the middle of the lobby, beside a huge table, a black-robed figure with a thick fog on his face sat upright on the armchair.

"How about we have a conversation in this way to show the sincerity of having a pawnshop?" Master Fu Ying did not answer, but turned around and bowed to Jiuhuo who was on the high place.

Jiu Huo understood and said, "Of course. Next, let's have a good talk. You asked Tun Fo to bring back the news that you want my next unborn child. Such a condition is extremely bold."

"As long as the Xuan Sect remains unbroken and the Holy Domain remains in place, the righteous path will still be hindered by other forces like Ye Chongsheng and Shengzong. With the resurrection of Yama Hanba, the Otherworldly Demon Realm will be able to launch an offensive with lightning speed, inflicting heavy damage on the forces of the Bitter Realm. This holds extraordinary significance for the Demon Realm."

"Yama has been resurrected. The demon world is not completely without clues, nor is it beyond our control. Your request far exceeds the value of this transaction." Jiuhuo said.

Li Xuanxiao looked at Jiuhuo through the space barrier. Facing the conditions proposed by her, she did not get angry but was able to discuss calmly. Her temperament and cultivation alone surpassed many women. It can only be said that she is worthy of being the Queen of the Demon Realm.

"If that's the case, the dragon energy and core can replace the previous conditions. What do you think, Queen?"

The dragon energy and core of the magic dragon, the former is the power source of the Heavenly Demon Pool deep in the Otherworld Demon Realm, allowing the demon generals of the Demon Realm to return to their demon souls and enter the Heavenly Demon Pool after their death, and be nourished by the dragon energy of the magic dragon; and the core of the magic dragon can be called the key to the existence of the Otherworld Demon Realm in the alien space. It is related to the things of the entire Otherworld Demon Realm, and Jiuhuo and Fuyingshi are even less likely to be used as bargaining chips in a transaction.

"Your appetite is getting bigger and bigger." Jiuhuo's expression was cold, and his tone was even more chilling.

Master Fu Ying, who was standing by, spoke up at this moment: "Sir, the Demon Realm can speak frankly. The Demon Lord has been resurrected and will not support the Otherworldly Demon Realm paying such a price, unless..."

"More money?" Li Xuanxiao added.

Master Fu Ying smiled and said, "Although it's not accurate, it's not far off. If the deal is to be concluded, you must also add a considerable amount of chips."

"Oh? I wonder what you want to add?" Li Xuanxiao asked.

Master Fu Ying did not answer, but instead said, "Who on earth are you to know the existence of dragon energy and demonic origin?"

Even Xuan Zong, who had been fighting against the Otherworldly Demon Realm for a long time, would not know the existence of dragon energy and the dragon core. The man from the pawnshop mentioned these two things as a substitute. Combined with the information previously sent back by the Buddha-Devouring Boy, Guizhi, and Mingjian, it shows that the other party must have an extraordinary understanding of the Otherworldly Demon Realm.

Such information must have a source.

Li Xuanxiao shook his head, as if these strategists always liked to interrogate him about things in areas he was not familiar with. If it weren't for the fact that the Otherworldly Demon Realm was a big deal, Li would not have bothered to waste his time on it.

"This matter has nothing to do with this transaction."

"How can it be irrelevant?" Master Fu Ying retorted, "Since Your Excellency has some knowledge of the Otherworldly Demon Realm, you should also know how crucial the Queen's offspring is. The resurrection of the Demon Lord will only speed up the Demon Realm's progress, but it will not affect the final outcome. So, assuming Your Excellency does not change what you seek, we will add two more conditions."

"Two conditions?" Li Xuanxiao said, "Tell me about them."
