Chapter 440 "What an Unscrupulous Saleswoman"

Jerking with excitement over the beckoning, Ling Yue knows her first sale of the night has arrived.

In response to that outlandish and black-hearted demand, the fighter can only say he wanted to start cursing again. But really, the man does have his reasons to react so strongly. He"s busy fighting with his life on the line and the b.a.s.t.a.r.d behind him was going on and yapping all those whimsical things like he was to be toyed with.

In light of being ignored as the battle continued, Ling Yue was tireless and continued to pester her victim. "Brother, if you continue to fight like that then you are going to die from excessive blood loss. Really, my price isn"t expensive at all. Think about it, though you will lose one-third of your prize but there"s still two-third of it left! Minus the sum going to the fees involved, you will still have half of it left for yourself. Something is better than nothing am I right? Besides, look at your opponent, he"s already expended so much of his strength in those Lightning Burst Fists from before. If you can drag this fight out a bit longer, I"m sure will eventually succ.u.mb to your delay tactics!"

The martialist"s brain was never all that smart anyways, hardly a match for the quick-witted Ling Yue, now to be pestered with all these temptations under duress, its only normal that his IQ would be hindered even further. As a result, the poor sucker quickly agreed to the exchange under the influence of the evil saleswoman here tonight.

“Fine! If you can cure my injuries right away then I will give you a share!"

“Of course, I promise the effects are instant!" With that said, Ling Yue then readily pulled out a needle from her sleeve that"s already infused with her spirit smoke.

Next thing the fighter knew was a small biting sensation against his chest, followed quickly by a sharp pain entering his skin. Initially the man wanted to curse some more at the abrupt attack, but when he was about to open his mouth again, the soothing sensation instantly stopped him in his tracks.

“Stinking boy, you got some skills there!" Flushed pink from the surging energy in his veins, the man bellows out a laugh at his good fortune.

This undoubtedly didn"t fare well for the superior fighter. Under the onslaught of punches coming his way, this second contestant wanted to cry foul at the crowd only to have his words stuffed back into his lunge by the swirling winds of his opponent"s attack.

Where the heck did that brat come from? My opponent was already down for the count and now he"s as lively as a tiger!

Before long, the situation was exactly as Ling Yue predicted. From the underdog to the dominant tiger in the ring, the fighter who conscripted the aid of this evil saleswoman quickly takes the lead and brought in a new opportunity from another angle.

“Hey Brother, I say you won"t last at this rate. Look, your opponent has been healed by me so why don"t you borrow this Yellow Grade knife (fake) from me. With this artifact weapon in hand, you will definitely turn the tables around. Don" worry, I"m a very fair businesswoman. Just as much as your opponent there, I will only take one-third of your winnings like I did with him, how about it?" With that said, she then went ahead to swing the blade around to put on a grandiose display.

Now this time it was the "healed" fighter"s turn to become anxious: "Hey Brother, you can"t do that! How can you stick your hands into both our pockets, that"s not how a proper business does business! You are not a man of your word!"

“My word? Can my word feed me and clothe me? I spent a hundred gold coins to get in here tonight. If I don"t earn it back then that"s really not honest for a businesswoman. Besides, the deal is that I"m only taking a third of your earnings, I"m not making you pay anything upfront. You got nothing to lose so why are you making demands with me." Utterly shameless in her logic, Ling Yue refutes the claim that she"s an evil merchant that"s out to slaughter them from both ends.

“Wait, I"ll buy it!” The depleted martialist could no longer resist and cried out for help.

Just like the previous time, the evil businesswoman was quick in her transaction and tossed the blade over without hesitation. With this newfound weapon, the tide of the battle once against s.h.i.+fted back to its original state and was even fiercer than ever before.

Smiling until her eyes had turned into a crescent shape, she gladly ran back and forth to offer up her propositions: "Brother, you are hurt again. Look here, I have a Black Grade armor in my position. If you wear it then I guarantee no more injuries will come your way from that blade. Don"t worry, my price is very fair, only half of the remaining prize that you will get."

“…..”

Just like that after several back and forth, both fighters had unwittingly become flat out beggars due to the constant temptations of the demon by their ears. They"ve been scammed until they got nothing left from the stakes involved and even had to chip in their personal belongings that was never part of the original deal. Talk about the perfect example of being sold and still had to count the money for their slavers.

“Brother, you lost a lot of blood there. If this continues you won"t be able to stand anymore. Here, this is my special potion that I concocted. It will instantly rejuvenate your body and greatly increase your strength." Despite draining them dry like a vampire, the girl simply doesn"t relent.

He only bought several things from Ling Yue earlier: a blade, a healing potion and several flying daggers. Even so, that much alone was enough to suck him dry of his entire fortune. If he were to buy anymore then he might as well start selling his own body at the brothel! Though it"s unlikely the fighter would attract any male prospects with that look or gender.

“Don"t worry Brother, I can always put it on credit. Even if you don"t have it now, you can always go back to your clan or sect for more." All smiles on her face like a slithering snake, the two fighters could no longer take it and exchanged an understanding look with each other.

This blasted nagging alchemist, if not for him then we would"ve been done already. Now not only are we bruised all over, we even lost our entire fortune to this b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Identical in their thoughts, these two immediately got the same idea.

“Hey Brother, let"s team up and butcher this little b.a.s.t.a.r.d."

Needing no more words, both fighters promptly turned their attention at Ling Yue who was still nagging by their side. One wielding the Yellow Grade knife from earlier and the other throwing a hidden weapon.

“So that"s how you two want to play it? Destroying the bridge after crossing it is not as easy as you two might think." Not fl.u.s.tering or panicking, Ling Yue remains unfazed by the ambush.
