77: Store Incident 2

"Species: Flying Fur Rabbit (Different Rank Species)

Rank: Mortal Rank Lower Tier

Aptitude: Ordinary

Attribute Tendency: Wind, Medicine

Skills: 1. Flying Legs: When the skill is activated, the fur on the legs grows, and speed is greatly increased for a long period of time. This skill can also be applied to an additional target, doubling that target's speed.

2. Medicine Crystal: ...3. Wind Rise: Wind is generated in the target area. The intensity and duration of the wind are related to the quality and quantity of energy consumed."

Although it still possessed a skill as a Medicine Beast, it was clear that this Source Beast was evolving in another direction, gaining a certain degree of functionality and offensive capability.

Moreover, it only cost nine hundred ninety-nine Origin Rune Stones, which was much lower than other Uncommon Rank Source Beasts, making it the kind that an ordinary Contract Master could afford with some effort.

Even if he himself was a Mortal Rank Contract Master and temporarily couldn't contract a second Source Beast, buying it for his next generation would undoubtedly give them a very high starting point.

So, soon, two or three "Flying Fur Rabbits" were sold.

Another type of Source Beast that was selling well was the "Leaf Wing Insect." Its price was even higher than the "Flying Fur Rabbit," but it sold more than the "Flying Fur Rabbit."

"Species: Leaf Wing Insect (Different Rank Species)

Rank: Mortal Rank Lower Tier

Aptitude: Ordinary

Attribute Tendency: Medicine, Wood

Skills: 1. Emerald Green Leaf: ...2. Insect Territory: ...3. Leaf Wings: Leaf Wings grant the Leaf Wing Insect the ability to fly at low altitudes, and can also grant other targets the same low-altitude flying ability."

Compared to the Green Leaf Insect, the Leaf Wing Insect was slightly larger in size, with greenish wings slightly larger than its body in the middle section.

Although it also had three skills, the most obvious advantage of the Leaf Wing Insect was its ability to grant other targets temporary low-altitude flying ability.

It was extremely excellent in terms of functionality, and even some Contract Masters who were already Uncommon Rank but had not yet contracted a second Source Beast were very tempted by this "Leaf Wing Insect."

Thus, four were sold in a single morning.

There weren't many Source Beasts in the shop to begin with, and now nearly half were gone.

In the afternoon, a group of customers with a completely different demeanor and attire from ordinary Contract Masters arrived at the shop.

Upon entering, they wasted no words, heading directly to the cages of the Moon Worshipping Rabbits and Medicinal Fragrance Powder-Eared Rabbits. Seeing the price, they showed no hesitation.

The leader among them spoke directly, saying, "We'll take these two rabbits."

If it had been other Source Beasts, the maid would have taken out a special cage, retrieved the Source Beast, and directed them to the counter to pay.

However, these two Source Beasts were expensive, considered treasures of the shop, and the two maids nearby simultaneously looked at Chu Qinhui.

Chu Qinhui nodded and said loudly, "Quickly, pack them up for the guests."

Only then did the two maids step forward, intending to open the cages and take out the two quiet rabbits.

But at that moment, an urgent voice of obstruction came from outside the shop, "Wait!"

The newcomers, also dressed brightly and looking affluent and noble, quickly approached the cages.

The middle-aged man who had just announced his intention to buy saw the new arrivals without surprise, as if they were old acquaintances. He looked at the young man who had just arrived and said calmly,

"Youngster from the Shen Family, my Fu Family has already bought these two Source Beasts. Why do you speak to stop us?"

The young man who arrived later cupped his hands and apologized, saying, "Second Master Fu, I apologize for the disrespect."

Then he turned his eyes to Chu Qinhui behind the counter and asked with a smile, "Shopkeeper, I wonder if there are any other Source Beasts of these two types in the shop?"

If there were, he wouldn't need to contend with this Second Master Fu.

Chu Qinhui rubbed his nose, then shook his head firmly, "The evolution Materials for these two types of Source Beasts are hard to find, and their evolution path is quite complex. The success rate is not high.

Aside from the two that appeared at the auction yesterday, we only have these two left in our shop. If you miss this opportunity, I don't know when such Source Beasts will appear again."

The young man from the Shen Family placed his right hand on his left, then turned back to smile at Second Master Fu.

"Second Master Fu, you see there's only one of these Source Beasts. How about we let the highest bidder win?"

Hearing his words, Second Master Fu instantly bristled, a look of displeasure on his face. "Who are you to talk about the highest bidder? These are clearly priced items, it's first come, first served. You two, hurry up and pack these rabbits for me!"

Urged by Second Master Fu, the two maids again turned their gaze to Chu Qinhui.

These two maids, Nanny Liu trained them well, Chu Qinhui thought to himself.

"Our shop does not have the rule of raising prices on the spot. Pack the rabbits for Second Master Fu."

Hearing Chu Qinhui's words, the interrupted movements of the two maids resumed.

Seeing this, the young man from the Shen Family's face instantly became anxious. On his left and right arms, a green snake and a mottled snake instantly appeared.

Their heads were raised high, as if they were about to strike at any moment.

Second Master Fu let out a cold snort upon seeing his actions. A somewhat transparent, illusory figure appeared beside him, with faint mist swirling around the figure, making it impossible to see anything but a hazy phantom when looking at him.

With the appearance of their contracted Source Beasts, their followers also successively summoned their own Source Beasts, and in an instant, the shop became crowded and narrow.

"Youngster from the Shen Family, is your Shen Family trying to oppose my Fu Family?"

The young man from the Shen Family's eyes hardened, showing little fear in his words, "I must bring these Source Beasts back to the Family. Even if I can't, I must do something."

Doing something, including accidentally killing those two Source Beasts.

"Have you forgotten, this is our shop?"

As Chu Qinhui's displeased voice rang out, the Xi Ming Pure Soul Beast, which had been lazily nestled in a chair, slowly walked to the ground.

A clear and bright white light emerged on the ground. In just an instant, everyone and every beast in the shop seemed to be clamped by the white light on the ground, unable to use any internal abilities or make any movements.

Everyone could only watch with wide eyes as the Xi Ming Pure Soul Beast walked with elegant steps to the middle of the two confronting groups.

It tilted its head slightly, then lifted its leg and kicked both groups of people twice.

"Thump, thump, thump."

Dull thuds continuously echoed in the shop, followed by figures and Source Beasts flying out of the doorway, thrown onto the main road.

This commotion frightened passersby, who detoured far around the entrance.

After both confronting groups were thrown out of the shop, the Xi Ming Pure Soul Beast released its control over Chu Qinhui. Chu Qinhui took the cages containing the two rabbits from the two maids.

Then, carrying them, he chased after them outside the door, squatted in front of Second Master Shen, who was lying on the ground, and asked gently,

"Second Master Shen, are you still buying these rabbits?"

"Ugh..."

Second Master Shen turned his head and spat out a mouthful of clotted blood. After recovering for a while, he forced a smile.

"Buy, of course I'll buy."
