11 **Chapter 11: Scam or not? **

With tears streaming down her beautiful face, she gave me a blank stare as if she couldn't believe this was her life now.

The man next to her didn't let that chance go and said, "Just 200 primeval stones!! Do you want her? For 200, you don't have to return her."

I met his gaze, remaining silent for about five seconds. Then, in the calmest voice possible, I replied, "Who is talking to you." With that, I glanced at his arm, showing him the noticeable lack of the piece of clothing that all Fei Yu clansmen possessed.

'He seems to get the message.'

Returning my focus to the female Gu Master, I proposed, "The servants in our house have been getting restless lately. So how about 3 primeval stones for the night."

"I am sure you will enjoy it too, and like that, your small debt will be gone in no time."

"To mortals!!!" She gave me a death glare.

"NO! I will not do such a dirty thing, my husband is the only man for me!!!"

'Oh, such conviction.'

*Sob*

*Sob*

"You will have to get this annoying sobbing under control, or what are you going to sob and gag at the same time. I think not."

That comment seemed to really upset her and pushed her over the edge.

'Good, I will need her to be as emotional as possible.'

"Well, what? Getting angry is not going to pay your debt, you bitch…"

'Ah, that guy. I might have been too harsh on him earlier. What a useful idiot.'

I could see it click in her head. Prostitution was really a step too far for her.

'Ah, I am so glad that I am dealing with righteous people here. I am sure if she were a demon, my servants would have a great time right now.'

"What…. What if I sold my Gu…"

"Hey you, Fei Yu clan Gu master, what can you give me for a water bullet Gu."

"Water Bullet Gu, it's kind of weak… I will give you 70 primeval stones."

'Was that too low? It's probably worth 350 to be honest… This has only a slight chance of working, but it would never work if she were thinking straight…'

'So emotional, she must think that it's either selling this Gu to me or becoming a streetwalker for the next few months.'

"What 70, no way, at least a hundred…"

She was too fast to answer, and the price was suspiciously low.

"Ok, 100 primeval stones."

As soon as I finished my sentence, she took out two Water Bullet Gu and put them in my hands. I couldn't speak a word before she said, "Now pay this asshole his 200 primeval stones."

"And you Fen Renzen, should know that you cannot act like this did not happen, as he is a Gu master of the Fei Yu clan."

'Yes, this is definitely a scam. These two are definitely a team. No way it was this easy… Hehehe'

As I inspected the Gu and noticed that there was nothing wrong with it, I instantly refined them.

"Give the man 200 primeval stones." I said as I looked at my servants.

He did as instructed, and we made our way out of the market.

POV: Yue Lin

"Ahhh Renzen darling, this savage really wanted to have me sleep with the servants in his whole household. And for three primeval stones… I am going to kill him, I am definitely killing him."

"We are going to rob that idiot blind, but if we can kill him will depend on where he goes."

The market of the Fei Yu clan is a street that forms a circle, if you go towards the middle, this is where the powerful people live, rank 2 to 5 Gu masters, as well as a few relatively rich mortals and rank 1 Gu Masters.

On the outside of that circle lies the world of the less privileged: the rank 1 Gu masters without backing, some Gu masters who did not belong to the clan and were poor, as well as the biggest population, mortals.

"Hey opened your eyes, he just went outside. He is free game, probably has no Gu masters in his family."

"Well then, I can only say that his luck has run out, and so will his life."

"Stop yapping and use your scent tracking Gu already."

"Of course, honey."

'I can feel Renzen's gaze on my ass again…'

'He always does this. If we stalk and plan to kill someone, that sense of power and excitement gets him so horny…'

'This idiot is definitely going to get us killed one day.'

…

...

...

"When is this guy finally going to arrive at his destination? We have been following him for half an hour already."

"Be patient. We can't afford to make a mistake and have him discover us before he arrives at his house. Who knows how many valuables he keeps there. Don't you remember the last one that we killed?" Yue Lin.

"Yeah… who could have guessed that he could keep something of such value a secret. And why did he keep it at his hour?" Fen Renzen.

"He was probably scared that some Elder would inspect his Aperture and steal it." said Yue Lin.

"Oh, he is going in, he is going in… Hahaha, we are finally here." Fen Renzen.

"Quick, let's get into the yard of that house…" Yue Lin.

They made their way over to the yard, hid inside some bushes that covered them very well, and waited.

'Oh… great, now he starts touching my ass…. just fantastic…'

"Wha… I don't feel so… don't feel so good"

With that, Yue Lin fell into a deep sleep….

POV: Fen Renzen

'She has such a nice ass… I can't wait to… once that damn brat is dead.'

'On second thought, once we are done here, I should just rest for a bit…'

'Was I always this tired? No, we are under atta—'

And with that, both of the demons have entered the land of dreams….

POV: Zhen Wei

As I enter the empty house that my father owns and rents out from time to time, I think to myself:

'Are those idiots still thinking that I have not noticed them yet?'

'I should release the primer now…. '

With that, Zhen Wei picked up a small pouch of powder.

'MP57, as well as MP32. They confused me at first, as they seemed to do absolutely nothing.'

Not being held back by my thoughts, i scatters the MP57 in the wind.

'But together, they make a very fast and powerful poison that causes the victim to fall asleep almost immediately.'

I released the MP32 while i was negotiating with them earlier, just as a precaution.

And as long as both enter your system, it only takes about 1 to 2 seconds to take effect.

*Plop*

*Plop*

'I guess it is effective…'

If I had been 100% sure that they were demonic path cultivators, I would have used deadly poison from the beginning. But I was only 90% sure, so this was the best approach. If they had left me alone, the poison would have had no effect on them.

'I should not take the risk though.'

"You two, get those two Gu masters out of the bushes."

With a little hesitation on their faces, they still decided to follow their orders.

'I would be dumb to do this myself, they could be pretending to be unconscious.'

It took about 15 minutes for the servants to finish the job and bring the unconscious Gu masters about 2 meters in front of their master.

"You have done well. Now, pick up their hands above their faces and drop them."

This time they looked at him a little weirdly but still proceeded nonetheless.

*Thud*

*Thud*

They had no reaction, no reflex.

'Okay, they are definitely out.'

"You two, take out 3 primeval stones each and go back to the market and…. Also, be discreet. You can keep the change."

'3 primeval stones are total overkill, but they are more meant as a reward for risking their lives for me.'

They did not have to be told twice, and it took not even 1 minute for both of them to leave the house and make their way to the market.

'Now onto the next step.'

Zhan Wei slowly made his way to the female Gu master; she lay there so peacefully.

'She is a real beauty. I am sure she could have made more than 3 primeval stones as a whore, at least 5. It is a pity that people nowadays don't like to choose honest work and prefer to become demonic Gu masters instead…'

I softly took her chin into my left hand, turned her pretty face a bit to the left, and rammed my knife into her temporal region. She was instantly dead.

The same happened to her partner shortly after.

'Now, let's see what they have.'

Nothing, as it turns out. After I have stripped them both until they were naked, I found nothing. Not one of the spirit stones I have paid them, nor anything else.

This could mean one thing, and one thing only…

'Storage Gu.'

'I have high hopes for their Apertures actually. Because in the situation they were in, nobody would destroy their Gu because they had a partner. Or in other words… they had hope, hope that the other one would notice that they were attacked and could do something about it. In this situation, one with hope would be foolish to destroy one's own Gu, their own power and future,'

'But there is only one way to find out. No use bashing others for their hopes when I obviously hope for a good harvest….'

I started with the woman, and just cut open her belly like a fish. Unfortunately, I did not have the experience of Fang Yuan to know exactly where to cut to get to the Aperture the easiest. And I also did not want to damage any potential Gu in the process.

So, this was a bloody process, one that took many cuts to finally find. When i did i found 7 Gu in her Aperture. All of them alive.

'Hahahah… Yes.. yes'

'This discovery alone has made me dozens of times richer than I was before.'

After capturing the Gu and putting off worries about refining them later, I made my way to the man.

This time it did not take a process as long or as bloody, for that matter, before 6 Gu smiled at me.

'None of the two have destroyed any of their Gu…'

'And they also have a lot for rank 1 Gu masters, these must be stolen from people like me. It is just that the others were not as fortunate.'

'I just gained 13 Gu, and I did not even have to take that much risk.'

'If these two were Gu masters of the clan that I had killed, I would be way more worried, but these are nobodies. Nobody will ask questions, no one will miss them, their disappearance will not be investigated.'

'This could not have gone any better for me. I have won my first battle, without using a single Gu. Well, I did use the Poison Refinement Gu to create the poison combo.'
