Misery: There is a pawn shop here

Chapter 95 Parting on bad terms
"Since you have some knowledge of the Demon Realm, you should also be aware of the current hidden dangers in the Demon Realm."

Li Xuanxiao lowered his eyes and sniffed the teacup in his hand. A soft sigh emanated from the misty water: "The fault has not yet been repaired, and the Ghost King is asleep."

Long ago, during the war between Dao and Demon, thunder struck, severely damaging the Otherworldly Dragon that supported the Otherworldly Demonic Realm. This caused a rift in the Demonic Realm, nearly wiping out the Ghost Clan. The Ghost King, Yin Zhuwu, the leader of the Otherworldly Demonic Realm, used his unearthly magic to forcibly support the Ghost Clan, but the exhaustion caused him to fall into a deep sleep. The Demonic Realm's rift was forcibly held together by a strange person, preventing it from being completely severed.

Upon hearing Li Xuanxiao's revelation, Master Fu Ying's mask obscured his expression, but Jiu Huo's pupils shrank slightly. The ghost-faced candlesticks on either side of the throne flickered, making the fire pattern between the Demon Queen's brows look even more eerie.

"Long ago, the Taoists and demons fought fiercely. Thunder pierced through the top of the head, and the spine of the alien demon dragon was shattered." Li Xuanxiao's fingertips condensed dew into ink, and the ruins of a cliff appeared out of thin air in the hall. "Only one tenth of the elite of the ghost clan survived. Silver-knuckled Zhu Wu used the Nine-Turn Fate-Reversing Technique to renew the lifeline of the demon world, but he exhausted his essence and fell into eternal sleep." The ink illusion suddenly shattered, and stardust fell into the eyes of Jiuhuo and Fuyingshi.

"Now the Demon Realm's fault line relies entirely on the flesh and blood of extraordinary people. It is in danger of being upside down, like an egg on the edge of an abyss."

The plight of the Otherworld Demon Realm wasn't a secret to those within it, but it was top secret information unknown to the outside world. How did the pawnshop learn of this? If it leaked the information to the forces of the Bitter Realm...

When Jiuhuo thought of this, a flash of murderous intent flashed through his heart.

"Your Excellency is truly extraordinary," Master Fu Ying said. "Indeed, these are the two conditions we must add: repairing the Demon Realm fault and reviving our Demon Realm Zhu Huang. Together with the resurrection of the Demon Lord, this makes three conditions in total. With this, I will readily agree to your request. How do you think?"

"Tsk."

Li Xuanxiao just clicked his tongue in response to the three conditions proposed by Master Fu Ying, and the sound echoed in the ears of Jiu Huo and Master Fu Ying, full of sarcasm.

"There's a pawnshop. It's a business, but it's not a charity. One for three, I refuse such a deal."

Hearing Li Xuanxiao's refusal so bluntly, Master Fu Ying felt a cloud of doubt in her heart and said, "The son of Emperor Zhu and the Queen holds a high position in the Otherworldly Demon Realm. You are underestimating him by demanding a deal based on just one thing."

"You're a respected figure, ha." Li Xuanxiao laughed. "Otherworld Demon Realm, you can wait a little longer, and I can also wait for you to figure it out. Since we can't reach an exchange, let's look forward to our next meeting."

"Ha." Master Fu Ying also laughed when he heard this. "Your Excellency, if you keep making excuses like this, I'm afraid you are just bluffing."

As the words fell, a flash of spiritual light flew out from the black hole. Master Fu Ying's eyes flashed, and with a flick of his finger, three virtual spiritual formations instantly overlapped to protect himself. However, the spiritual light reached his face in an instant, breaking through the three formations and pouring directly into Master Fu Ying's body.

"Uh!"

"presumptuous!"

Master Fu Ying frowned slightly, and when he saw the other party resorting to violence, Jiu Huo instantly became furious.

"Wait a minute." Just as Jiuhuo was about to take action, Master Fuying raised his hand to stop him and looked up at the dark passage. His eyes beneath the mask revealed a solemn look.

All he could do was rely on spells and summoning of Shikigami. However, when that ray of spiritual light entered his body just now, he did not feel any injuries, but his connection with all the Shikigami was forcibly severed and he could not summon them.

"Oh, the pawnshop owner is quite extraordinary. Fu Ying apologizes to you for my previous inappropriate remarks."

"A three-day ban is just a form of punishment," Li Xuanxiao said calmly. "If it weren't for the person behind you, your conversation with me would have ended long ago. The conditions remain unchanged. The next time we meet will be in the pawnshop."

As the words fell, the passage closed and Li Xuanxiao's figure disappeared from the sight of Jiu Huo and Fu Yingshi. The entire hall returned to silence again.

"Fu Ying..." Jiu Huo turned his head to look at Master Fu Ying.

Master Fu Ying shook his head to indicate that it was all right, then said, "This person is truly extraordinary."

"You are so rude and arrogant. Do you really think that the otherworldly demon world can be bullied?" Jiuhuo said in a cold voice with murderous intent in his eyes.

Master Fu Ying soothed him, saying, "There's a pawnshop whose details are unknown. Queen, please allow me to go to the Jieshen Terrace." "Jieshen Terrace? Are you going to see the Jieshen Treasure Book?"

"That person's tone, abilities, and understanding of the demonic world all indicate that he is more than just an ordinary person. He might even be connected to the demonic world. If not, he wouldn't know the demonic world in such detail. Perhaps the Elder Jieshen will have the answer."

Jiu Huo calmed down, nodded and said, "You, go."

"Yes."

Master Fu Ying bowed and left. Jiu Huo watched Master Fu Ying's back disappear in the palace, then sat back in the back seat, a look of longing flashing in his eyes.

"Zhu Wu, if you were awake..."

The last syllables dissipated in the empty hall, leaving only the falling embers.

……

"Tsk, that's really not unexpected."

Inside a pawnshop, Li Xuanxiao, whose deal had fallen through, sipped his tea. He had thought that Master Fu Ying hadn't yet appeared, making it easier to deal with Jiu Huo, but he hadn't expected Master Fu Ying to show up. The two, each eager to make a huge offer, exchanged demands, and naturally, the two parted ways unhappily.

However, Mr. Li was not worried. In the eyes of Jiu Huo and Fu Yingshi, it was not difficult to resurrect Yama Hanba with the power of the Otherworldly Demon Realm. Therefore, this was a deal that was doomed to have a very low success rate from the beginning. But...

The existence of Mr. Li, or rather the existence of a pawnshop, is to enable all forces to move forward smoothly and side by side.

If you refuse this time, the next meeting may cost more than just this transaction price.

Li is the one who will decide on Jiuhuo's next child. Even the Bento Emperor can't stop him. That's what I say!
At this moment, outside the pawnshop, the copper bell on the eaves suddenly rang. Hearing that there was another business coming, Li Xuanxiao raised his eyebrows. The troubles of starting his own business were infinitely magnified at this moment.

When will the pawnshop be able to hire someone to preside over transactions...

The ancient bronze lamp illuminated the way forward for the visitor, and the door of the pawnshop opened. The Lord of Evil stopped at the door of the pawnshop and looked at the existence in the lobby.

"Is there a pawnshop here?"

Ye Chongsheng looked at Li Xuanxiao in the lobby and spoke slowly.

"The leader of the blood-septic evil, you are such a rare guest, please come in." Li Xuanxiao raised his hand and gestured.

"Nice to meet you. It seems you are the owner of the pawnshop." Ye Chongsheng walked into the pawnshop and sat down opposite Li Xuanxiao.

"Nice to meet you, Master Xie." Li Xuanxiao nodded slightly. "Since you're here, you must be asking for something."

"I heard there's a pawn shop that can grant you anything you want."

"This promise can withstand eternity, but the prerequisite is that you have to pay a sufficient price."

"Really?" Ye Chongsheng nodded slightly. "Then, what's the price?"
