"Boss Zuo, could I..."
One-eyed Dog gazed at the beautiful woman with her back to him, holding a little girl, his single eye gleaming with a strange light.
"Are you fucking crazy? Do you have a death wish? Bishop Qu is coming soon, what the hell are you thinking?"
"Once we get to Deep Scale, what woman can’t you have?"
Zuo Wu glared at him viciously, striding forward, speaking loudly, "Ms. Ai, let handle this... I have experience with this kind of Extraordinary Awakening!"
He sat in front of the bed, and his heart skipped a beat!
These black mists were actually surrounding him!
"My God..."
After working in this industry for so many years.
This was the first ti he had seen such an astonishing situation of an "Awakening Phenonon"...
Within a hundred miles of Deep Scale City, the trafficking and trading of babies with Extraordinary Awakening is actually conducted under the manipulation of the "Light Church", with Bishop Qu being the mastermind. This kind of thing cannot see the light of day, so to maintain the church’s image of light, it naturally circulates in the underground black market. No one knows where those children are ultimately sent, but Zuo Wu has vaguely heard that there’s a considerable "Holy Judge Army" in Light City, filled with Sacrificials from all over the world, fearless and ready to give their lives.
This trade existed long before the war began.
At that ti, the Red Emperor did not care... but later the Lin Family’s expeditionary army ca to crusade against the Red Emperor, sweeping away injustices, leading the church to go underground.
Thus, soone like Zuo Wu, a "useless sort", could sneak into this trade.
Hearing Zuo Wu’s gasp of admiration, Aunt Ai asked worriedly, "Mr. Zuo... Is Xiao Qiu okay?"
"She’s... fine."
Zuo Wu chuckled softly, praising, "Her Extraordinary Talent is probably exceptionally high."
As soon as he said that.
Aunt Ai’s expression froze, as if recalling a certain night many years ago.
"..."
She gritted her teeth and seriously asked, "Is this an illness, can you cure it?"
Zuo Wu turned around, ready to have One-eyed Dog take action.
But in the mont he turned back, he froze.
A translucent Jade Talisman was handed over by Aunt Ai.
"This is an ’artifact’ left by the child’s father. If you’re going to treat Xiao Qiu, holding onto it will make you feel much better; these might be a miasma,"
"...?"
Zuo Wu couldn’t help but laugh.
He looked at this woman, his eyes filled with astonishnt. In all these years, it was the first ti he had seen such a foolish woman.
He accepted the Jade Talisman, saying lightly, "I heard from Virgil... you all traveled near the Northern Continent Border for six years to avoid the ravages of war."
"Yes..."
Aunt Ai’s expression was sowhat bewildered.
"I’m sorry, I just can’t understand it."
"Six years... how did soone with a personality like yours survive?"
After Zuo Wu grasped the Jade Talisman, he no longer sat on the bed. He stood up and asked seriously, "Because people as kind and naive as you, in Deep Scale City... wouldn’t survive three days."
Aunt Ai’s heart tightened.
"Alright, go ahead."
Zuo Wu turned and walked toward the wooden house door, raising his hand slightly.
One-eyed Dog stepped forward, standing before Ai Li.
Regret lingered on his face... Zuo Wu got one thing wrong, in Deep Scale City, you could only pay for base prostitutes; you couldn’t pay for a woman like this, full of charm yet naive.
"Screech—"
A gush of fresh blood splattered out, spraying across Zuo Wu’s back.
His stride halted slightly.
Zuo Wu was silent for a second, his voice angry and deep, "How many tis have I told you... don’t take action inside the house! The blood’s all over !"
He turned around abruptly.
The next mont.
Zuo Wu’s expression changed from anger to shock.
The narrow wooden house was filled with swirling black mist.
A small figure stood between One-eyed Dog and the woman, a little girl wrapped in black mist, lifted off the ground... The girl’s expression was neither sad nor happy, looking serious and focused.
She did just one simple thing.
Which was extending two fingers.
Those two fingers struck like hooks, bursting One-eyed Dog’s eyeball, then hooked into his socket, continuing to dig downwards.
Blood splattered across the room...
This scene left everyone in the house in overwhelming shock.
Among everyone, the only one maintaining so semblance of calm was the "naive" Aunt Ai.
One-eyed Dog, in pain and despair, tried to roar, but the thick black mist was like a tightening ribbon, strangling his neck.
He opened his mouth wide but could only make painful "huh huh" sounds!
The black mist slowly descended with Mu Wanqiu, as if she were playing a trivial ga, her two fingers stubbornly lingering in One-eyed Dog’s eye socket... causing him to go from standing to kneeling, until Mu Wanqiu yanked her hand back fiercely.
By pure force of inertia.
One-eyed Dog slamd heavily onto the ground—
And he didn’t get up again.
"A-level... this is definitely A-level!"
Although Zuo Wu’s body was trembling violently, he couldn’t help but smile.
In all his years of cultivation, facing a little girl experiencing her first Awakening, he actually felt fear.
But... at this mont a different emotion eclipsed the fear, completely occupying his mind.
That emotion was called greed.
An A-level Transcendent, it’s been years since anyone has seen one in the Deep Scale Black Market... ten million, no, the value of this kind of rchandise cannot be asured by such vulgar things as money!
