This is... a little loli from the human-demon tribe? !

Jiang City.

Black Market Alley.

After leaving the old man's stall, Su Bai continued to browse.

He found that this place was very different from his previous life!

The stalls he was familiar with were mostly gone now!

This was actually quite normal, after all, to be precise, his first visit to the Black Market in his previous life seemed to be in the second year after his Awakening?!

And now, it had only been less than a week!

Furthermore,

A large portion of the items sold in the Black Market were... ahem!

Stolen goods!

So, at least half of the stall owners there

Came today and left tomorrow; they weren't fixed.

However, fortunately, the Black Market had a VIP area~

As long as one paid a small stall fee, they could set up a permanent stall.

The prices of items inside were slightly higher, but the quality was guaranteed, and all the items inside were neatly categorized!

Of course!

Not only did stall owners have to pay a stall fee,

Even buyers had to pay a deposit to enter!

It was said that doing so could, to some extent, ensure the stable operation of the Black Market's business circle, but to put it bluntly, it was just to rake in money!!

"Young man, please pay the deposit here!"

Upon arriving at the entrance of the VIP area, Su Bai was stopped.

Blocking Su Bai was a brawny man with a menacing face.

It was obvious.

If he were to rush in without paying the deposit... he would definitely get beaten!!!

And with Su Bai's current level of only 200... he really couldn't beat the other party!

"Scan the code, 2000 per person!"

Seeing Su Bai stop, the big man showed a smile uglier than crying.

Su Bai was a bit speechless.

2000 per person, that wasn't cheap!

It was enough for him to eat dozens of 'Crazy Thursdays' meals!

More importantly—

No matter who it was, they had to pay again every time they came!!!

It was truly a rip-off!

"Beep!" There was no other way, Su Bai could only comply and scan the code.

"Alright! Go in! Remember, you can't casually reveal what happens inside to outsiders, you understand, it's the rule! Otherwise... ୧ ⍢ ⃝ ୨"

As he spoke, the big man exposed his arm and flexed his muscles.

Su Bai knew that leaking information from inside—

Wasn't as simple as getting beaten; it meant being hunted down!

...After entering the Black Market VIP area, Su Bai quickly found the medicinal herbs section.

He discovered that the owner of this shop was a Loli!

She had white hair and red eyes... and she also had two cute little fangs,

Even, on top of her head, there were two dark red horns!

At a glance, Su Bai felt she particularly resembled a certain creature—

A Demon Race member!!!

In an instant, Su Bai's breathing even stopped!

He hadn't expected the owner of this shop to be a Demon Race member!

And... judging by her appearance, she seemed to be a type Su Bai had seen before... what was it called... right!

It was called the Human-Demon Race!

The weakest Innate Physique among the Demon Race!

Legend has it they were born from the union of the Human Race and the Demon Race... Human-Demons!!!

Although Su Bai was surprised in his heart, he quickly regained his composure on the surface.

He knew deeply that in such a place, the more surprised he appeared,

The more likely he was to attract trouble for himself!

The Loli looked up at Su Bai, a hint of confusion in her eyes:

"Big brother, what do you want to buy?"

Her voice, though clear, carried a peculiar quality.

This was the unique vocal tone of the Demon Race!

Indeed, she truly was a Demon Race member!

No!

It should be said, she was a hybrid of the Human Race and the Demon Race!

This kind of Demon (Human)... was the type both races detested!

Belonging to a type that pleased neither side!

Alas!

Poor little girl... you must have had a very difficult life, right?

Otherwise... ahem!

Su Bai lightly coughed and began to select medicinal herbs.

At the same time, he quietly observed the little girl.

He was also very curious about this Human-Demon hybrid!

...About five minutes later, Su Bai had finished selecting the medicinal herbs!

"Alright! These are all of them! Please help me calculate the price!"

The Human-Demon Loli took the medicinal herbs and began to count and calculate the price.

"Magnolia Dazzling Grass, Plate Rainwood Leaf, Fire Dragon Root, Heavenly Star Grass, Wangshu Flower, Dragon Blood Root... Hello, that will be a total of one hundred and sixty thousand!"

After counting the price, the Human-Demon Loli said in a clear voice.

Hearing this, Su Bai nodded slightly, understanding.

He felt that this price was acceptable!

A total of twelve medicinal herbs, and it was less than two hundred thousand!

It was almost half the price of a regular medicinal herb store!

"Beep!" Su Bai pulled out his phone and scanned the code directly.

Although one hundred and sixty thousand was a lot, he could still afford it!

Then, he put all the medicinal herbs into his System backpack.

After hearing the payment success notification, the Human-Demon Loli immediately showed a happy smile and said to Su Bai with a laugh:

"Thank you, big brother, welcome back next time!"

Su Bai didn't speak. He just nodded gently.

If possible, he wouldn't come again!

This place, for a level 200 novice like him,

Was a little terrifying!

There were actually Demon Race members here... and even the Human-Demon, which was the most special kind of Demon Race!

If the information were to leak out... tsk tsk!

Many wealthy powerful individuals would probably rush over, pay a hefty price to buy this Loli, and then treat her as a private pet... It's not good to stay here for long, time to go home, go home!

୧ ⍢ ⃝ ୨

...Rental apartment.

Before long, Su Bai took a taxi back to his rental apartment.

Today had been a long day, killing demonic beasts and browsing the Black Market,

It had really worn him out!

So, the first thing he did upon returning to his rental apartment was... shower!

However, shortly after Su Bai entered the bathroom,

His phone, which he had placed on the bedside table, rang!

The phone continued to ring, like a death knell.

Helpless, Su Bai could only come out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.

Picking up his phone, he saw that it was—

Xia Qingyan!

After the call connected, Xia Qingyan's playful voice came from the other end:

"Hi! Little Su Zi~, have you missed me?"

Su Bai smiled helplessly:

"Sigh! Young Miss Xia, is there something you need me for?"

On the other end of the line, Xia Qingyan pouted:

"Haha~, I want to go out for training in the suburbs tomorrow, will you come with me~"

Hearing this, Su Bai secretly groaned.

"Sigh! Alright." Su Bai sighed, but still agreed.

There was no other way, he had to pamper his own girlfriend!

He couldn't let someone else pamper her, right... ( | | ๐ _ ๐ )

"Alright, alright, Qingyan, let's leave it at that, I'm showering right now! I haven't even finished showering and I rushed out to answer your call..."

After speaking, Su Bai hurriedly hung up the phone.

Immediately after, he quickly ran back to the bathroom.

To continue showering!

At this moment, he was in a great mood!

After all, he would get to see his Yan Yan again tomorrow~

Hmm... although training in the suburbs was quite tiring... In less than ten minutes, Su Bai finished his shower, then plopped down on the bed, preparing to do the last thing for the day—

Regulate his breathing and meditate!

In just a moment, he entered a meditative state.

As the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art was frantically circulated within his body, the surrounding Spiritual Qi began to gather towards him at an extremely fast pace.

At the same time, a series of notification sounds popped up in his mind:

"Spiritual Qi entering the body, Experience + 608"

"Spiritual Qi entering the body, Experience + 889"

"Spiritual Qi entering the body, Experience + 937"

"Spiritual Qi entering the body, Experience + 767"

"Spiritual Qi entering the body, Experience + 1425"
