224: Saint's arm

Zuoqiu Hui silently took a step back, her fingers quietly pulling Zuoqiu Zhen, ready to turn and run if things went awry.

Junior Sister Zhao lowered her head, her eyes darting around, silently moving a step closer to Xu Sanyan.

Xu Sanyan looked up at the counter; the voice had come from there, but no one was in sight.

"Bang!"

"Ouch~!"

A cry of pain came from inside the counter, and then a young woman emerged, rubbing her forehead. Her grimacing expression looked a bit comical, but no one dared to laugh.

"What can I get for you all?"

The young woman's hair was disheveled, her eyes hazy with sleep, and she wore a loose, dark purple outer garment, revealing large expanses of pale skin with every movement.

Xu Sanyan's gaze was involuntarily drawn to her, his eyes scanning the young woman's chest, his brow subtly raising. "How can it be so flat? Is there really nothing at all?"

The young woman walked out from behind the counter and vigorously rubbed her face to make herself look more awake.

"What are these things... for?" Xu Sanyan asked tentatively.

The young woman walked gracefully, bare-footed. Her small feet, easily clasped in one hand, were delicate and charming, with a perfect arch. Her toenails were painted a vibrant red, further highlighting the fairness of her feet, making one want to gently caress them.

Xu Sanyan glanced at them once and then looked away. Although he was very interested, now was not the time for such things.

Zuoqiu Hui was on high alert, while Zuoqiu Zhen beside her was puzzled. She felt that the elder sister in front of them was very friendly and didn't understand why her third sister was reacting so strongly.

The young woman tilted her head slightly, her round eyes scrutinizing Xu Sanyan from head to toe, her gaze lingering in certain places for a moment, a satisfied smile on her lips.

"Little brother is quite substantial, isn't he...?"

Xu Sanyan's cheek twitched involuntarily. "You can tell that through my pants?"

"Oh~ What are you talking about?"

The young woman feigned displeasure, but in reality, she absolutely loved this kind of teasing, the excitement in her eyes not seeming fake.

"I was talking about your Divine Soul. What were you thinking?" The young woman covered her mouth with a slender hand, her eyes curving into cute crescent moons.

"I... I was also talking about Divine Soul."

Xu Sanyan pursed his lips and smiled. He had always been the one to tease others; this was the first time he had been teased.

Zuoqiu Zhen tilted her head, feeling that what they were saying didn't sound like Divine Soul at all.

"Hehe~ It's been a long time since I've met such a cute little friend. Since elder sister is happy today, whatever you want to buy, elder sister will give you a ten percent discount!"

The young woman was very happy, her feet even twitching slightly, allowing one to feel her inner joy even more.

Xu Sanyan's tone was surprised. "Elder sister? Has this young lady reached the age of fifteen this year?"

He scrutinized her again, "From your appearance, you seem to be only seventeen or eighteen. How can you call yourself elder sister?"

"Giggle~ Oh, your little mouth..."

The young woman was greatly amused, covering her mouth and laughing incessantly.

Behind her, Zuoqiu Hui couldn't help but shiver, wondering how he could say such things.

Junior Sister Zhao secretly twitched the corner of her mouth.

"Elder sister likes you. I'll earn a little less today and give you a twenty percent discount."

Xu Sanyan looked at the young woman with a sincere expression. "Oh, that absolutely won't do. If it causes elder sister to lose business, how could younger brother feel at ease? Elder sister and I are in perfect harmony; I absolutely cannot take advantage of elder sister."

"That's easy then. Wouldn't it be fine if younger brother also let elder sister take some advantage?"

The young woman extended her delicate tongue, licking her red lips, and lowered her head slightly, a hint of a lewd smile on her face.

Xu Sanyan's heart skipped a beat. Although he committed murder and arson, forced people to offer themselves, used unscrupulous means to achieve his goals, and was selfish, self-serving, and tyrannical by nature,

he considered himself a good boy, and he certainly couldn't have anything to do with a woman of unknown origins like this.

"This..."

Xu Sanyan's mind raced. He was quite tempted, but he didn't quite dare, fearing that this woman might drain his essence.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Hurry and see what you want to buy." The young woman wiggled her toes and took two steps forward.

Zuoqiu Hui silently retreated two more steps.

The young woman seemed to notice her small movement, her eyes darting over as she warned, "You can't leave if you don't buy anything, you know..."

"Forced buying and selling?" Zuoqiu Zhen was startled, her thoughts escaping her lips.

The young woman frowned, clearly displeased. "What are you talking about? Did I force you to come in? Didn't you all come in yourselves to escape danger? Since you've entered, you must buy something. That's our rule here."

"Hehe... That's right, elder sister is right. Since we've borrowed this precious place to avoid disaster, how can we not show some appreciation?"

Only then did the young woman smile, lightly approaching Xu Sanyan and smoothing his clothes. "That's right, younger brother understands things better."

Saying that, her gaze also flickered to Zuoqiu Zhen, and she said haughtily, "Hmph, unlike some people..."

Zuoqiu Zhen lowered her head, too embarrassed to argue.

"Elder sister, could you tell us what these things here are for?" Xu Sanyan reached out a finger and quietly scratched the young woman's hand, causing her to emit a soft hum.

"There are many good things here."

The young woman pulled Xu Sanyan's sleeve, her slender hand pointing to the long, thin arm on the table, and said casually, "This is the arm of a Five Directions Saint. If you refine it, you can gain a trace of the Saint's Dao, and it can also help you defend against enemies."

Xu Sanyan's pupils constricted, and his mind seemed to be swept by towering waves, leaving him in a daze, with only this one sentence echoing in his ears:

"The arm of a Five Directions Saint."

"A Saint... arm!?" Xu Sanyan's voice was low as he slowly turned to look at the young woman, as if he hadn't heard clearly. "You said, this is a Saint's arm?"

The young woman's lips curved into a smile. "Yes, a Saint's arm."

Saying that, her gaze swept over the group, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on her face as she saw their shocked expressions.

"How much... is this thing?"

Zuoqiu Hui's face was flushed with excitement. If she could bring this item back to the Family and give it to the Old Ancestor to refine...

Perhaps their Zuoqiu Clan could also produce a Saint!

From then on, they would rank among the top powers in the world.

Like the Central Continent Five Great Sects, they each only had one Saint on the surface.

The young woman's smile deepened, and she slowly extended a finger. "One thousand jin of Soul Spirit."

"Soul Spirit?" Zuoqiu Hui was puzzled; she hadn't yet learned what Soul Spirit was.

"Hiss..."

Xu Sanyan gasped, clearly understanding the concept of one thousand jin of Soul Spirit.

He himself had two jin, three liang, and six qian of Soul Spirit, meaning he would need almost five hundred of himself to exchange for this arm.

"Don't even think about it. Even if you sold yourself, you couldn't afford it." Xu Sanyan shook his head, interrupting her thoughts.

Zuoqiu Hui's eyes dimmed, but she was still unwilling to give up. "How many jin of Soul Spirit do I have?"

She knew that Soul Spirit was Divine Soul, just a different name, but she had never imagined that Divine Soul could be quantified, and this was the first time she had heard of Divine Soul being measured in 'jin'.

"How many jin?"

The young woman's eyes held a smile, with a hint of mockery hidden within. "You have seven liang and two qian. If you gather one thousand four hundred of yourself, you can almost exchange for it. Thinking of it that way, aren't you filled with motivation?"

Zuoqiu Hui froze, then silently lowered her head and said nothing.
