501: A little episode

The Su Xuan before them exuded an extraordinary aura, clearly not an ordinary person. As Mo Li was Su Xuan's female companion, if he looked at her a few more times, he might just explode on the spot!

"Master, here's your money!"

Su Xuan casually handed a Low-Grade Spirit Stone to the candy artist master.

"Oh my... Guest... This... This is too precious!"

The candy artist master's body almost trembled as he looked at the Spirit Stone in his hand.

This was a town where Mortals predominated. Normally, their transactions involved silver, and a Spirit Stone... even a Low-Grade Spirit Stone, might not be exchanged for ten thousand taels of silver.

The candy artist master knew he had met a noble person today.

"No need for change, just keep it!"

Su Xuan said with a smile.

A mere Low-Grade Spirit Stone was nothing to Su Xuan.

Upon hearing this, the candy artist master was instantly overjoyed, almost prostrating himself before Su Xuan.

Immediately after, the candy artist master began to display his skill.

With just a few strokes, the majestic head and winding body of a Dragon began to take shape.

Finally, with a sharp flick of his wrist, the Dragon's tail finished with a powerful curve, and a drop of melted sugar landed perfectly on the Dragon's eye, instantly bringing the entire Dragon to life.

"So amazing!"

Mo Li's eyes sparkled. Although she could also create such things, it was because she was a Cultivator.

For ordinary people like the candy artist master, it must have taken an immense amount of time and effort to achieve this, which is why Mo Li felt he was amazing.

"Guest, your Dragon is ready, please take it!"

The candy artist master handed the Dragon to Mo Li. Mo Li reached out and took the sugar Dragon on a stick, carefully licking it once.

In an instant, sweetness spread across her tongue, and she comfortably narrowed her eyes, like a cat being petted.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to snatch it from you!"

Su Xuan smiled, watching her childish demeanor, then reached out to wipe away the sugar residue from the corner of her mouth.

It was hard to imagine that this woman, who acted like a child, was actually the legendary Supreme Saint expert.

If others knew her identity, wouldn't they be scared to death?

"No, I won't."

Mo Li mumbled, but still slowed down, holding the bamboo stick with her fingertips and twirling the sugar Dragon in front of her eyes.

"Husband, look, it looks like it's really flying!"

Mo Li said, presenting it like a treasure.

"But... speaking of which, why do I feel like this Dragon is a bit different from the Dragon I imagined!"

Mo Li fell into deep thought.

"What's different? Isn't this pretty good?"

Su Xuan was a bit puzzled.

On Tianxuan Continent, although Dragons were legendary beings, it didn't mean no one had seen them.

On the contrary, the image of the Dragon was already familiar, so Mo Li shouldn't be unaware.

"Of course it's different! This is completely different from the 'one-stop Dragon service' you mentioned!"

Mo Li gave a wicked smile.

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan realized that Mo Li had played a trick on him!

"Good heavens! She's teasing me! In just one day, she's learned so many bad things!"

Su Xuan smiled. Was this the power of him, the great villain? So easily corrupting a destined heroine!

However, Su Xuan felt no guilt, but rather found it amusing.

As they were speaking, a commotion suddenly erupted from the street corner.

Several black-clad Cultivators were surrounding an old man selling candied hawthorns. One of them kicked over the candied hawthorn stand, sending the red hawthorns rolling all over the ground, covered in mud.

"Old geezer, you dare to set up a stall here without paying tribute? Don't you even know whose territory this is?!"

The leading Cultivator sneered, reaching out to grab the old man's collar.

Mo Li's smile faded, and her fingers gripping the sugar Dragon tightened slightly.

She had witnessed too much of the law of the jungle, but only now, leaning against Su Xuan, had she forgotten that this world was inherently filled with bullying.

Su Xuan was already used to the scene before him. After all, he was a villain and had not bullied people less in his daily life.

"Husband... that old man is so pitiful, I'll go help him!"

Mo Li was, after all, a destined heroine, beautiful and kind-hearted. When she saw injustice, she would certainly draw her sword to help.

"Alright, then go ahead!"

Seeing Mo Li's strong sense of justice, Su Xuan didn't say much more.

Before her words finished, Mo Li's figure had already drifted out like a ghost.

The black-clad Cultivators only felt a blur before their eyes, and their wrists were clamped by a force that was soft yet firm, making them yelp in pain.

"Bullying an old man in broad daylight, don't you feel ashamed?"

Mo Li's voice was cold, completely different from her earlier playful demeanor.

She applied slight pressure with her fingertips, and the Cultivators' wrists twisted at an unnatural angle, causing them to fall to their knees and beg for mercy.

"Immortal Maiden, spare us! Immortal Maiden, spare us!"

"What, who's an Immortal Maiden? Try saying that again?!"

Mo Li was furious! Even when they were bullying the old man, Mo Li wasn't this angry!

Damn it, they actually called her an Immortal Maiden? Was she that old? It was infuriating!

"Fairy, spare us! Fairy, spare us!"

The black-clad Cultivators dared not hesitate, tears streaming down their faces from the pain, as they hastily changed their words.

They could feel the force on their wrists growing heavier and heavier, their bones almost being crushed. How could they dare to defy her even a little?

"That's more like it!"

Upon hearing the words "Fairy," Mo Li immediately felt extremely satisfied.

"Apologize to him, understood?"

Mo Li said coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes! We apologize!"

The leading black-clad Cultivator's forehead was sweating from the pain as he repeatedly bowed to the old man selling candied hawthorns.

"Old man, we're sorry! We were blind and disturbed your business. We'll make amends now!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a money pouch from his 懷裡 and shook out a pile of silver fragments.

"Please take this money for now; we'll add more if it's not enough!"

The old man looked at the candied hawthorns scattered on the ground, then at the fierce-looking Cultivators who had suddenly become submissive. For a moment, he didn't react, just numbly took the silver.

"Fairy, you see, we've already apologized and compensated. Can we leave now?"

The leading black-clad Cultivator asked cautiously.

Mo Li glanced at the silver fragments on the ground and then at the old man's hand, clutching the flattened candied hawthorn sticks.

She said coldly, "You think this little bit of silver is enough to dismiss it? His whole stand of candied hawthorns would be enough for an ordinary family to eat for at least half a year. Do you think this is enough?"

The leading Cultivator dared not retort and hastily pulled out his Storage Pouch, shaking out more than half a pouch of Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

"Fairy Sister, this is all my worldly possessions. It should be enough now, right?"

The black-clad Cultivator suppressed the reluctance in his heart and handed over all his possessions.

If this wasn't enough, then he could only atone with death!

Death, that kind of thing, please, no...
