The Story of White Dragon
Ch. 13 [Freedom IV]

"50 Fuan! Fresh meat is only 50 Fuan!"

"Miss, are you interested in love potions?"

"See this! A weapon capable of slashing demon beasts that had thick skin! The price is very cheap! Only 1,000 Fuan! Come on, come on, who's fast he got!"

Yu Bai was flabbergasted.

He was a little surprised to see a market that looked crowded but a little strange.

How not strange. Yu Bai saw that there were selling various potions in bottles with liquids of various colors.

And also the meat on sale was meat that had green slime that made Yu Bai marasa disgusted instantly.

Andwhat? A great weapon capable of piercing through the thick skin of demonic beasts? He must be kidding! The sword is rusty and porous!

"Basic con man" muttered Yu Bai.

"Be careful with what you say. Here his people are easily offended" Qing scolded.

Automatic Yu Bai directly covered his mouth using both palms.

Qing laughed at Yu Bai's behavior.

"Qing, where are we going?"

"Sell stuff, then go buy yourself clothes."

Yu Bai blinked his eyes. After that he was suffocated slowly hearing Qing's words.

"No need to buy clothes. My clothes are still bag-"

"Good from where!"

Yu Bai was aghast. Slightly surprised by the snapping tone from Qing who usually spoke softly to him.

"Are you going to stay with me in just a pair of torn trousers and a patch of blood?"

Yu Bai nodded stiffly.

"You must be kidding me! I'm sure you don't have any underwear."

Yu Bai's face immediately turned red.

"See. I'm right, aren't I?"

Qing smiled triumphantly when he saw the speechless Yu Bai with a timid face.

"So just accept it. I bought you clothes because I didn't want to get scorned by Jin. Honestly speaking, when she nags people, she's more chatty than a mother who bids at the lowest price."

Yu Bai chuckled "I can't believe Jinzhi like that."

"What do you know? Jin is a man who likes to drink liquor, but he knows best that he can not drink liquor. Even just drinking one glass of himself had fallen."

Yu Bai laughed. He imagined a drunk Jinzhi with a reddened face and various indistinct murmurs coming out of Jinzhi's mouth.

Because Qing was discussing Long Jinzhi. Yu Bai had just realized. That he hadn't seen Jinzhi since morning.

"Qing, where's Jinzhi?"

"Doing a task."

"Tasks?"

"Yes. A secret assignment."

Yu Bai was a little bibgung with Qing saying, but he did not want to ask anymore because the two of them had arrived at Qing's destination.

A simple wooden house with the words Fu shop on a wooden plate that looks worn and old.

Qing opened the rough rickety wooden door and sure enough. The door was immediately open and detached from its hinges.

Yu Bai stared at the door that lay horribly on the ground. Then he turned to look at Qing who was putting on a haughty face.

The sound of heavy footsteps rang out from the front of Yu Bai who was only at the boundary of a wooden window filled with various kinds of plants that had been dried.

"Who.... Who destroyed the door I just installed!"

A large and hoarse voice sounded. Yu Bai looked at Qing who was still loyal putting on a haughty face.

Yu Bai did not understand the current conditions.

"Fu Ten! Don't talk too much and come quickly! Your wife will be angry if you see you're slow to serve the buyer!"

Suddenly a large, stocky man emerged from the back of a display case showing a dry plant.

His short black hair was very neat. On the man's face was a cut from his left eye to his chin. The man was wearing a dark green apron and in his right hand was a cigar that was emitting smoke.

"Ohh... Dear Miss Qing. What else are you gonna destroy in my shop?"

With his calm and haughty expression. Qing pointed at the wooden door that lay horribly. "This time I smashed the door. Next time buy a door that has the best quality."

Imaginary elbows appeared on Fu Ten's head. "Miss, every time you come to my shop. There must be something broken. Have I been wrong about you all this time?"

Qing laughed lightly, "Ha. Ha. Ha. Ten, don't talk much and remember the past."

Fu Ten grinned violently. He goes back to sucking on a cigar before saying "That's just the past."

"Darling...?"

Fu Ten suddenly hid the cigar in his right hand behind an apron. He turned and faced a beautiful woman wearing bright yellow clothes.

Not to mention the woman's stomach is bulging which means the woman is pregnant.

"Ru'er, why are you out?"

"I heard a commotion. What is the oh Qing!"

The woman's expression instantly brightened as she looked at Qing who instantly changed her facial expression. Qing smiled broadly at Fu Ru who rushed over to Qing and immediately hugged Qing's body tightly.

"I haven't seen you in a long time! How are you and Jin?"

"I'm good Ru. And Jin.... Bias."

Fu Ru nodded in understanding. Fu Ru's black netra looked at Yu Bai who had been silent since then and observed this familiar-looking conversation.

"He who? Your kid?"

Fu Ten suddenly coughed at the plain words of his wife's mouth.

Qing slightly froze hearing the remark from Fu Ru.

Yu Bai was silent as he looked at Fu Ru who approached him and turned a warm embrace.

"Hey!" fu Ten Protest.

"What's your name, son?"

"Y-yu Bai, miss."

Fu Ru smiled slightly. "Yu Bai, just call me Ru. Don't wear miss. That sucks."

Yu Bai chuckled softly. Yu Bai's impression of Fu Ru was 'Friendly and pleasant'.

Yu Bai instantly felt comfortable with Fu Ru who was looking at him warmly.

"So.... What do you want to sell this time?"

"Before that, you go away a little bit. What I brought is a little dangerous."

Both Fu Ru's eyes twinkled. "What's that?!"

Fu Ten sighed. "Darling, you're pregnant."

Qing chuckled. He rubbed the jade ring on his ring finger. Two animals, one dead and the other alive, appeared on the table at the store.

"Hohhh.."awe Fu Ru.

"Not bad" Fu Ten commented.

"Blue skyline and Snake Purple Venom. The qing! You got a good catch!" fu Ru said with spirit.

Qing smiled proudly. "Hehh... Who used to get it."

"Sad, you are so arrogant" said Fu Ten.

"So how much do you offer?"

"2,500 Fuan."

"What!" shocked Fu Ten.

Fu Ru laughed softly, "As usual. Qing is not a liability."

Yu Bai who had been an adherent was a little surprised when he heard what the price of these two animals was.

'Do I have to go hunting animals like this too so I can make money?'

Yu Bai's intelligent brain started thinking about business. At least he could support himself when he left later.

"2,000 Fuan only. How's it?" The Tawar Fu Ten.

"It's low. These two animals are very rare to know!"

"But the snake is dead. You should give me a discount" Fu Ten said.

"Don't you know what I'm going to do to get these two animals?"

Yu Bai slightly frowned. A little confused by Qing's remark.

"I really care!"

"Ouch... They started again" Fu Ru said calmly.

Stir the inevitable fretting again. It looks like the kind of fighting they are used to.

"Bai'er, would you like some tea while you wait for them to finish their fight?" tawar Fu Ru's.

Yu Bai nodded. He agreed with Fu Ru's invitation.

"Ouch... You're so sweet."

Yu Bai laughed dryly.

"Yu Bai" call Fu Ru.

Fu Ru's black netra stared at Yu Bai's instens, who stood still with those dark brown eyes, looking at Fu Ru's eyes.

"What... You injured?"

Yu Bai froze.

"Your blood smells too stinging."
