.I don’t know how much the “perfect” fruit of the dark night is worth!

Mu Longquan kept smiling on the surface, but sighed in his heart. Now that things can only continue to act. Fortunately, with the fact that Saberas exists, even if he makes any inappropriate actions, the other party will not doubt his identity. At most, he will doubt his abilities...

"I will think about it." He was silent for a moment and finally threw out a nonsense: "I also explained to Mr. Vordus that this 'magical' treasure naturally has its 'magical' source... so I can't make a decision immediately, I think you should understand."

"Of course, of course."

'Christina' smiled faintly and nodded gracefully: "Of course this matter is not that easy, otherwise we would not have been able to do anything about it for so many years. I hope you can consider our family's innate desire and try to help us - we will never treat our friends unfairly."

Such a business is so tiring!

He once again stretched his long fingers to his bow tie, straightened and straightened, feeling as if there was an invisible pressure all over him, making him unable to move. As one of the few "smart people" in the clan, he had never been able to negotiate business so much, mainly because the goal of this transaction was the treasure that the whole clan longed for, and the opponent was the only one who had handed this treasure to the clan's people... This business that was destined to be a whole disadvantage would really make people feel depressed and crazy!

After breathing a light sigh, Christina finished the sorting movement and calmed down a little. If she didn't have the advantage in goods, she had to find a breakthrough from the opponent himself. Although the opponent in front of her knew nothing except some superficial information, she was extremely mysterious, but she would not let him retreat. As long as she was a living creature, she would have her own **, and his task was to find it out.

"Then, Mr. Mu, we should have reached a preliminary transaction intention for the time being, right?" He stood up and looked at Mu Longquan with a gentle and calm expression. The latter nodded slightly: "——Then we are waiting for your good news... In addition, our family has integrated into human society for a long time and still has a certain influence. If you have anything you need to serve here, please don't be polite, just give me instructions."

"Thank you." Mu Longquan smiled politely and reached out to shake him. Christina's hands were well maintained, clean, tidy, gentle and dry, and very good-looking - uh, wrong, he is an octopus monster, and has no hands at all - I don't know which part of him is transformed?

"So. Goodbye."

Christina smiled politely, and while turning around, her left hand gracefully flew past Qiao Beibei, her beautiful eyes blinked in confusion, and gradually returned to the clarity.

"How are you?"

Mu Longquan held her shoulder, frowned, and looked at her with concern: "What's wrong? Your face is very bad... You really should replenish some nutrition."

“…?”

Qiao Beibei's eyes swept through the space around her in confusion. In the moment, she seemed to feel a black shadow flashing in front of her. Then a strange foreigner who was originally next to her ran away. Everything was as fast as if it was just an illusion. "I'm fine." She smiled at him, her slender eyebrows frowned slightly - was it her own illusion just now?

...It happened too quickly.

Mu Longquan stared at Qiao Beibei's face. After confirming that she was not abnormal, he sat back in his own chair with confidence. He glanced at his cup, picked it up and took a big sip. Then the extremely bitter smell made his whole face shrink and almost vomited back. Qiao Beibei actually ordered pure black coffee for him, which was bitter and astringent. When he drank it into his mouth, he even felt a faint vomiting.

He drank it without changing his face when he was acting with the little octopus just now. Is this really the thing?

Mu Longquan looked at the cup in his hand incredibly, sighing that the potential of humanity was terrible. He looked up inadvertently but saw Qiao Beibei admiring his expression with an undetectable cramped smile, tilting her head slightly. Her thin and plain lips bent into a gentle curve, and her soft hair hangs in front of her delicate face that can be broken, beautiful and loving.

As if someone had tear a wall in his chest, Mu Longquan felt his heart beating violently inexplicably, and the blood vessels on his neck felt a regular swelling, and his whole body became nervous for no reason. "Actually, this kind of relationship is pretty good now... I mean, the relationship between the two is not close but a little intimate. Occasionally, you can share some 'simple pleasure' together... It's pretty good, right!"

He smiled and said in a "cheerful voice". Qiao Beibei's expression did not change, and she still smiled. After more than ten seconds, she nodded slightly.

Idiot, what have you said!

Mu Longquan was so upset that he could swallow everything he said just now - why did his strange calm never appear in front of Qiao Beibei!? He had done enough stupid things in front of her. God, he was sure that he had never thought about any "future" with Qiao Beibei, why could he not be smarter and more comfortable? Just like the performance in front of the little octopus just now, how perfect! When he arrived in front of Qiao Beibei, he immediately became a fool...

Qiao Beibei's expression was still gentle, and even a strand of hair had not changed. However, Mu Longquan intuitively sensed that the "that Qiao Beibei" at the "that moment" before he said these words had completely disappeared.

"I have something to do, let's go first."

At some point, Qiao Beibei had finished drinking her own coffee, and her calm face greeted Mu Longquan with a faint smile: "Remember to pick me up tomorrow..." She waved her slender hands to Mu Longquan who stood up and wanted to say something, "Goodbye!"

"goodbye……"

Mu Longquan's right hand had just been lifted halfway, and the perfect back had disappeared at the door. After standing for a while, he sighed long, lowered his head to catch a glimpse of the black "poison", gritted his teeth and held it up, closed his eyes tightly and drank it all.

...Fuck it, it was so hard.

“…had someone robbed?”

Paipsi lowered the height curiously, flew to Mu Longquan and looked at him with big eyes: "You look very... 'waste'--"

As soon as he crossed the sub-space, it was interested in the "low pressure" surrounding Mu Longquan. This bold apprentice seemed to have been beaten by someone. He just lay crookedly on the floor of the living room pretending to be dead, looking no vitality at all, and was full of dreamworms exploring everywhere curiously.

"...Damn, you can't read my heart. Don't always use stimulation as fun, okay?" Mu Longquan turned his head a little annoyed, without answering its question.

"Well, in fact, I really can't read it." Paipsi spread his two little claws, made a helpless gesture, and successfully attracted Mu Longquan's attention: "Although this should be considered a matter that should be strictly confidential for me, our relationship is unusual and we will have to cooperate a lot in the future, so I think it's better to say it out - in Kunlun you launched a blood contract, and your soul entered my body and had some impact on our relationship. Now our initial contract has been automatically upgraded, and the binding force on me has increased greatly. Unless you want me to know, I can no longer read your thoughts directly - but don't dream of being able to use me. You can't do the ten you are now!"

“…Well. What a good news.”

Mu Longquan sighed, and after saying something without sincerity, he became depressed again. Pipsy watched his "performance" with a very interesting expression, and his big mouth pulled a long arc on his belly.

"...Black ball." After a while, he sighed and got up, holding his head with his hands: "Why do I always make mistakes in front of Qiao Beibei?...I mean, although I have no experience with women, I have experienced many major events so far. Even at the critical moment of life and death, I am calm. Why doesn't it work in front of her?"

He pulled his hair with a little depressed depression, frowned and sighed. Papussi's big face sank down, and his wings fell on Mu Longquan's shoulder: "It's not your fault." It patted Mu Longquan's head comfortably with his claws, and the red light flashed in his triangle eyes: "There is another reason why you always have abnormalities in front of her - do you know the 'Gear of Fate'?" Its wings suddenly flashed purple light. The fangs in its big mouth creaked and bit: "The reason why you always have problems in front of that woman is because the 'Gear of Fate' has a tooth that fucked it-"

“…”

Mu Longquan's mouth was half cracked, his eyebrows drooped down and raised them up while his eyebrows were raised. He looked at Pipsy with a strange expression. After a moment, the chuck became an uncontrollable obvious smile. One hand covered the lower half of his face and the other hand patted Pipsy's back: "Black ball, I don't know you have such a funny talent! - The gear of fate turned a tooth away - hehehehe..."

He smiled uncontrollably, and his mood gradually became a little relaxed. Paipsi's triangular eyes drooped. His tail drooped weakly, and he looked at Mu Longquan with a 'resentful' gaze. After a while, a sneer gradually rose from his belly, murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "If you can laugh now, just laugh, I can't laugh at all..."

"Black ball, thank you."

After laughing for almost a minute, Mu Longquan gasped and returned to his normal expression, gently patted Pipsy on the back, and a cheerful smile appeared on his young face: "I feel much more comfortable now... I really have to thank you."

"...My honor." Pipsy rolled his eyes and responded angrily. "The service fee will be waived."

"By the way...Boss, what do you say?"

As soon as Mu Longquan calmed down, he remembered the important thing: "How much is 'that thing' worth? I want to pay enough for any expenses I owe?"

The "reverse scales" of the leader of the dragon clan, "Naga", are extremely rare treasures. With so many ordinary dragon scales and dragon blood, it should be enough no matter what? No matter how powerful her soul energy is, she is just a mortal.

"Well, that's it..."

Unexpectedly, Pipsy showed a embarrassed expression, rubbing his claws with each other, and his tail was shaking around: "...Well, you have to understand that although these things are very precious, they are also very hot-"

"What's the meaning?"

Mu Longquan frowned and vaguely guessed some bad results in his heart.

"...To be honest, I'm afraid I can't sell it within 'a period of time'." Paipsi sighed, spread his claws, and shrugged helplessly: "These things are too hot. To sell them, you need to wait for an opportunity. No buyer dares to take over-"

"How long does it take to be the 'a period of time' you mean?" Mu Longquan pursed his lips helplessly, stood up and looked at Pipsy and asked a key question, and was mentally prepared for the worst.

"Well, this is very unfixed. It depends on luck, maybe one or two months-" Pippsey shook his tail and turned around and looked elsewhere: "...it may also be three or fifty years."

“…I just knew.”

Mu Longquan felt helpless and expressed his 'appreciation' to his premonition, sighed and lay down again: "...what should we do? In this way, we are in vain?"

"How could it be? One day it will turn into money." Paipsi glanced at him disapprovingly: "The boss has assigned us a task to attend a commodity auction that will be held recently. The level is relatively high. We can try our luck in our spare time. Even if these hot things cannot be sold, at least they can be sold in other inventory."

"Auction? Where is it held?" Mu Longquan was slightly excited: he felt that he saw a little hope again: "We still have what inventory to sell?"

"Well, it's not far. In a special space nearby opened three thousand years ago, it's almost the same as Kunlun. At most, it's one or two hours." Paipsey thought for a while and replied. "As for inventory, such as Jade Snake Swallows, Infant Spirits, you can also find a good customer at the auction. If you charge dozens of more units, it's not a problem."

"By the way! Something strange happened today, and I almost forgot to tell you."

Hearing Pipsy talk about ‘double dozens, hundreds of units’, Mu Longquan immediately remembered the unexpected fortunes of 1,000 units that he got today and the meeting with ‘Christina’. He was originally going to wait for Pipsy to ‘read’ himself before discussing how to deal with it. Now he has to explain it himself: “Today I encountered a big thing – when Qiao Beibei and I were drinking coffee together, the space was suddenly torn apart, and then a small thing that seemed to be a bare Kiling came out, saying that the old golden octopus violated the contract that he had made when he was sold to him Saberas, and then handed me the ‘liquid contract fee’ of one thousand units… Then a young man who claimed to be the son of the old octopus appeared—”

“Kemursa C. Vordus?”

Pipsy did not react at all in surprise, and lit a cigarette leisurely. He bulged his belly and spit out a perfect round: "For the merchant, he is a very difficult opponent... a mutated octopus monster who is tightly deducted from the price! The huge connections accumulated by the generous deep sea clan over thousands of years are the basis for his calling for wind and rain, and the countless resources contained in the huge deep sea are the most useful pieces in his hands..."

"Kemursa C. Vordos?" Mu Longquan pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty, and his white teeth showed a concave white line between his lips: "—Does anyone know what that c means?"

If 'Christina' is really a little octopus, then it seems that I have learned a very interesting little secret.

"Clark, who knows?" Pipsy sent the smoke rings into the air with difficulty and answered casually: "I don't know much about him, just some hearsay materials I've only learned recently. He only started to make a fortune nearly a hundred and fifty years ago, and I had been locked up to sleep tightly at that time - but it's only a matter of time before he found you. In the eyes of the smoke-loving octopus monster, Saberas is a treasure more precious than life, and it's impossible to hold back - what price did he offer?"

"Not only Saberas, they all want tobacco leaves produced by rotten swamps." Mu Longquan touched his chin and frowned habitually while thinking: "But just looking at his performance, I think the price he offered may be quite good - it's just 'possible' - he said he wanted to exchange it with something produced in the deep sea called 'Dark Night', one for another, and looking at his performance, he should feel very distressed about the price."

"'Fruit of the Dark Night'..." Paipsi took a deep breath of smoke, his stomach was swollen, floating in the air like a balloon. After a long time of silence, he slowly spit out: "I'm afraid it's this thing-I started to feel a little bit from hearing you talking about 'big price', alas."

"Isn't this thing good?" Mu Longquan waved his hand and fanned the rich smoke it spit out, and asked in confusion. "I look at the solemn appearance of the little octopus, and think this should be a very valuable thing."
