9: If you can't save people, don't save them. I have to do it.

In the black market, what a coincidence!

Lin Xianhuo asked someone for directions and happened to find Xiao Fan, who had just finished fencing his goods and was about to leave!

Xiao Fan changed his voice, hoarsely saying, "How much information can the Dog King have? Three to five hundred is about right."

"Hey! I'm warning you! Don't mess with my business!" The old man immediately became furious.

Three to five hundred compared to over a hundred thousand—that's a world of difference!

But how could Lin Xianhuo swallow this? She glared at the old man and said, "You dare to trick me?"

"Give me back my money!"

"Otherwise, I'll kill you!"

With that, she was about to pull out her Fire God Blade.

Xiao Fan was startled and quickly grabbed her wildly moving arm.

"What are you doing? You pervert!" Lin Xianhuo cursed.

Xiao Fan cursed inwardly, *I'm kindly helping you, and you're still cursing me?*

*Do you know that if you pull out that treasure blade of yours, you'll instantly become the target of everyone?*

*What a stupid woman!*

"Black market dealings are all about one's own ability. If you resort to violence, you'll be taken away by the administrators here, and that'll be troublesome."

"Even a Little Grandmaster can be taken away."

Xiao Fan reminded her.

Lin Xianhuo was startled, then scoffed, "Sorry, I misunderstood you."

At this moment, Xiao Fan suddenly gripped her palm tightly.

Just as she was about to get angry, wondering what was wrong with this man, she found a banknote in her hand.

It was the one hundred thousand yuan she had just given him. *Sigh*, she had misunderstood him again.

At the same time, the old man sprang up from his chair and cursed, "Where's my money?"

"Wasn't it just in my hand?"

He glared at Lin Xianhuo and said, "Did you steal my money?!"

Lin Xianhuo cursed back, "Would I steal money? Do I look like someone who lacks money?"

The old man was stunned by her curses, thinking, *Someone who can casually take out one hundred thousand yuan really doesn't need to do something like this. So it must have been the person who ruined my business just now!*

But when he looked up, Xiao Fan was long gone.

He was so angry he almost fainted!

The old man reluctantly took the one hundred thousand yuan and slowly started making change, his face looking as if he could burst into tears at any moment.

"Yesterday, someone came to sell a Fire Finch's arm for over two million, but there's no way we'd know who that person was."

"Everyone in the black market uses an alias."

Lin Xianhuo was furious. While she was still in the sewers last night, he had already sold it?

Damn it!

That was her Fire Finch!

"What about information on the Dog King?"

The old man said indifferently, "The Dog King knows a lot of Cultivation Techniques, and he's also very despicable."

Lin Xianhuo deeply agreed.

"He hides very well, so naturally, we don't know his true identity."

"But, the Dog King isn't as bad as outsiders say."

"Oh?" Lin Xianhuo immediately became curious.

The old man chuckled and said, "Entering Alien Beast Mountain is a matter of life and death."

"Before the Dog King appeared, an average of over a thousand adventurers died in Alien Beast Mountain every year."

"But after the Dog King appeared, that number plummeted to over two hundred, a decrease of 80%."

"So everyone has a love-hate relationship with the Dog King."

"Just by looking around, at least half of the people under those black robes have had their lives saved by the Dog King."

"As the saying goes, if you're targeted by the Dog King, your goods are certainly gone, but your life is certainly safe."

"People just curse him occasionally, and some even consider it an honor to have been robbed by the Dog King."

"Is that so..." Lin Xianhuo's eyes shimmered with light as she said, "So, he's still a good person?"

"There are no good people or bad people in this world." The old man began to speak philosophically, crossing his legs and taking a deep puff of his cigar, "In this world, there are only people who have done good deeds and people who have done bad deeds."

"The Dog King, he's the kind of person who does bad things while also doing good things."

"Who he really is, who knows?"

"Also, little girl, don't even think about catching the Dog King."

"Even a Little Grandmaster can't catch the Dog King. He... is very strong, extremely strong."

"In all these years, no one has ever seen the Dog King go all out."

"He has killed at least tens of thousands of alien beasts, yet no one has ever seen his mask worn down or his clothes damaged."

As he spoke, the old man's eyes even showed a hint of admiration.

Lin Xianhuo also thought of the battle where she was instantly killed by the Dog King.

Five years, killing tens of thousands of alien beasts.

He is someone who walks between life and death every day.

And her? A pure hothouse flower.

But she was not resigned! She wasn't at her peak then; if she were in Perfection, she would surely win!

As she thought, Lin Xianhuo's head drooped again.

Because she believed that even if she could win, it would be due to her Divine-Grade talent, Divine-Grade Cultivation Technique, and Divine-Grade weapon.

What about him?

A pile of junk.

If he also had his own gear, how strong would he be?

Wait...

If he really was Xiao Fan, really only eighteen years old, and also had her talent.

Wouldn't that mean...

A ridiculous title echoed in Lin Xianhuo's mind.

Star God: The title given to the strongest individual of each generation by Di Yi Academy, the first martial arts university.

Lin Xianhuo admitted that she definitely couldn't get the Star God title. The Super God Class in Di Yi Academy was full of monsters; she would at most be in the middle to upper ranks there.

But if the Dog King had her talent, then he... would definitely be the Star God!

A guy with no moral bottom line, hundreds of times more combat experience than his peers, and who would stop at nothing for victory.

Who could defeat him?

Damn it!

Now is not the time to be thinking about this, she was here to find someone!

She turned around, and suddenly, a cute little girl in a light blue dress appeared. She had blue hair, a round face, and big eyes, but at this moment, her eyes were filled with fear. She was squeezed into the crowd, carefully clutching a few banknotes in her hand.

The old man propped his chin, looking at the little girl with a puzzled expression, "Where did this little girl come from?"

"Doesn't she know any rules?"

"Oh no, something bad is going to happen!"

Lin Xianhuo raised her eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean?"

"Go, go, take this little girl out." The old man hurriedly left his stall.

But it was too late.

Suddenly, a Young Master descended from the second floor, his face excited, his steps swift, followed by four or five guards.

"It's over, too late." The old man sighed.

Lin Xianhuo frowned, feeling a little uneasy herself.

The little girl walked up to a vendor selling fake medicine, bought her medicine with an excited expression, and then turned to leave.

Suddenly.

"Bang!"

She bumped into the Young Master, falling onto the ground with a thump, and immediately bowed repeatedly in apology, saying, "Sorry, sorry..."

Ding Dong stood up to leave but was stopped by the Young Master's outstretched hand.

"Hey! Did I tell you to leave?!"

"Bumping into this Young Lord, is an apology enough?!"

These two angry shouts directly scared Ding Dong into trembling, constantly backing away, muttering, "Th-then... then what do you want to do?"

"Me? I want to do you!" Huang Qianfeng grinned and stepped forward, grabbing Ding Dong's arm.

Ding Dong had never been so scared. She immediately burst into tears, stammering, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"I just came to buy medicine. My grandma is still waiting for me at home. Can you please let me go?"

"Please, I... I'll give you money."

Ding Dong curled up in the corner, trembling, and carefully took out the two hundred yuan left over from buying medicine.

But Huang Qianfeng kicked it away.

He sneered, "Damn it, two hundred yuan? Are you trying to bribe a beggar?"

"Your grandma is sick, what does that have to do with me!"

"Damn it, I haven't touched such a tender little girl in a long time. I'll have some fun tonight."

With that, he reached out a hand towards Ding Dong.

"Help! Help!" Ding Dong struggled frantically, her face full of despair, screaming hysterically.

Everyone around, however, pretended not to hear, lowering their heads and continuing with their own business.

Lin Xianhuo's eyes turned cold, and she was about to step forward but was stopped by the old man, who sighed, "That's the son of the black market boss."

"If you offend him, the trouble will be huge."

"The black market, they don't play by the rules!"

But Lin Xianhuo scoffed, "You're afraid, I'm not."

She walked decisively to Ding Dong, slapped away Huang Qianfeng's hand, and cursed, "Where did this perverted dog come from? Never touched a woman, have you? Get lost!"

When these words came out, the whole place clearly fell silent for a moment, and everyone's movements froze.

Unbelievable.

It wasn't enough that one simpleton came today, now there are two!

Sure enough, Huang Qianfeng was instantly stunned by the curse, raised his hand, and slapped her, cursing, "You damn bitch, where did you come from!"

"I'll take both of you tonight!"

But at this moment.

"Swish!"

A flash of fire passed.

Everyone suddenly turned their heads and saw the Fire God Blade elegantly slash through the air, followed by a splash of blood.

"Sizzle!"

Huang Qianfeng's arm was directly cut off and flew away!

What the hell?

Are they crazy!?

Boss Huang will kill someone today!!?

The entire place instantly erupted into chaos, and people began to flee frantically towards the main entrance.

Huang Qianfeng fell to the ground, screaming hysterically, "Ah!"

"My hand, my hand!"

"Kill her for me!"

"Kill her for me!!!"

At this moment, a burly man directly flew down from the second floor, staring at Lin Xianhuo and roaring, "Dare to harm the Young Lord, you die!"

Lin Xianhuo frowned, "Martial artist?"

"Worthless!"

Her blade light flashed.

"Swish swish!"

The burly man was directly slashed and sent flying, falling to the side.

Lin Xianhuo suddenly swung her Fire God Blade, powerfully and domineeringly blocking in front of Ding Dong, and said coldly, "Whoever wants to harm her, I will cut them down!"

Ding Dong, hiding behind Lin Xianhuo, her eyes shimmering with light, was so excited she cried.

"Sister, you're so cool!"

Lin Xianhuo smiled proudly, "That was just an appetizer, I have even cooler moves!"

At this moment, Xiao Fan, watching the chaotic crowd from a corner with a helpless expression, thought, *This woman is really stupid.*

*At a time like this, shouldn't she take the little girl and just leave? Still staying there to show off?*

*Are you brain-dead?*

However, looking at the crowded main entrance, it would be difficult to squeeze out.

Xiao Fan clicked his tongue, thinking, *It still has to be me.*

He wasn't being merciful, but rather, he realized that he might as well acknowledge Lin Xianhuo.

Because she was a rich woman!

He wanted to complete the System tasks and activate his talent before university, but he had already bought all the Cultivation Techniques in the black market! He needed other means to collect Cultivation Techniques.

For example, by relying on a rich woman!

While others were running out, he was walking in.

His hands were not idle at all, constantly sweeping over the stalls that hadn't been packed up completely.

White light constantly flashed, and all the items entered his ring.

Suddenly, he arrived at the place where the little girl had bought medicine earlier, and with a glance, he noticed something.

Xiao Fan's eyes narrowed slightly.

It was anti-cancer medicine.
