Chapter 223 The Little Girl
"what happened to you?"
Although Huan Qingcheng looked puzzled, she immediately followed.
As soon as the two arrived in front of a cage where their human compatriots were imprisoned, the demon vendor standing next to the cage immediately began to enthusiastically introduce the place!
"Ouch~!"
Welcome!
"Esteemed dragon guest, the humans in our shop are fresh humans captured from the Hill Moon Mountain!"
"Do you need anything?"
"Quality absolutely guaranteed!"
Although the demon vendor was very enthusiastic towards Lin Que, its gaze did not linger on Huan Qingcheng beside him.
After all, it had just witnessed the entire incident!
Therefore, naturally, it regarded Huan Qingcheng as Lin Que's possession and dared not show any improper thoughts towards her!
Even the slightest pause of a glance!
It doesn't want to turn into those two puddles of ash on the ground!
Upon hearing this, Lin Que did not reply, but instead stared at a petite and slender figure inside the cage.
The demon vendors showed no dissatisfaction with Lin Que's attitude; on the contrary, they remained enthusiastic and stood by, waiting.
"Big brother, are you here to take me away?"
Inside the cage, all the human brethren shrank back when they saw Lin Que approaching.
His empty eyes were now filled with fear!
Only that thin figure kept his eyes fixed on Lin Que.
Moreover, she showed no fear whatsoever, and unlike others, her large eyes did not appear empty.
Instead, it carried a glimmer of hope!
"shut up!"
"I've disturbed your distinguished guest, or I'll make you regret it!"
Before Lin Que could speak, the demon vendor turned around and angrily shouted at the thin figure!
But then, Lin Que waved his hand at it.
Upon seeing this, the demon vendor immediately put on his previous enthusiastic smile again!
Lin Que then squatted down in front of the cage and carefully examined the thin, filthy figure in front of him.
After a while...
Lin Que calmly addressed the demon vendor, "I'll take this human child. Name your price!"
As soon as Lin Que finished speaking, the demon vendor's face lit up with joy!
"Ouch~!"
"This distinguished dragon guest certainly has a good eye for choice!"
"I immediately chose this young human. Once I take her back and clean her up, she'll definitely have smooth, delicate skin!"
"Whether it's playing or eating!"
"Both would be good choices!"
Before the demon vendor could continue his rambling, Lin Que interrupted him, his voice growing colder.
"Without further ado!"
Name your price, and if it's right, I'll take it!
"If it's not suitable, I'll just leave!"
"Ahem~!" The demon vendor sensed Lin Que's impatience and coughed twice before saying, "This human's price... one thousand mid-grade spirit stones!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Que stood up and was about to leave without saying a word!
"Hey hey hey~!"
"Honorable guest, please don't be in such a hurry to leave. We can give you a discount. Eight hundred mid-grade spirit stones!"
"How about it?"
Seeing this, the demon vendors hurriedly lowered their prices and called out to Lin Que in an attempt to curry favor.
It's because I haven't made a single sale since I opened the stall today, and the sun is about to set. I don't want to end up with no sales at all.
Lin Que turned his head and said sarcastically, "This human is so thin and weak, he looks like he has no flesh on his body!"
"You're going to buy it to eat?!"
"It's not even enough to fill a tooth gap for me!"
"I just wanted to buy it and play with it for a bit, since I've never played with something this small before."
"It's just for the novelty!"
"Since you're not sincere, boss, then I don't want it!"
After saying that, Lin Que made a move to leave.
Seeing this, the demon vendor quickly continued, "Five hundred! Just give me five hundred mid-grade spirit stones!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Que immediately offered a price!
"I'll offer one hundred mid-grade spirit stones!"
"Fine, don't sell then!"
"Keep it as a treasure for yourself!"
"One hundred?!" The demon vendor exclaimed in surprise, "This...this isn't even enough for my escort fee!"
"Honorable guest, please be kind enough to give us some more... Alright, alright!"
"I guess I'm just unlucky today, so I'll take it or leave it!"
"Consider it a loss-making venture to gain publicity!"
Before he could finish speaking, the demon vendor saw Lin Que about to leave and quickly agreed to his offer.
And he sighed!
Pretend that you've lost out.
Whether it's a loss or not, only it knows.
Immediately afterwards, the demon vendor opened the cage door.
Lin Que returned to the cage and reached out a hand to the thin figure.
The others in the cage were filled with fear upon seeing this, but the small figure stretched out a small hand and tightly grasped Lin Que's large hand before stepping out of the cage.
Lin Que, however, didn't care at all about the stains on her body and held her small hand tightly as well.
Then, to the astonishment of the demon vendor, he tossed a small bag containing spirit stones to it.
Lin Que then took the little hand and walked with Huan Qingcheng toward the distance of the street.
......
Nighttime, in an inn within the desolate demon city.
Huan Qingcheng looked at the frail figure beside Lin Que with a puzzled expression.
Why did you buy her?
At this moment, after a bath, the frail figure was no longer as filthy and ruined as before, and even the tattered clothes on his body had been replaced with a new set of clothes.
It was only then that Lin Que and Huan Qingcheng realized that this frail figure was actually a little girl!
Now that the little girl had bathed and cleaned herself, she exuded a lively and spirited aura. Her fair skin, which had been covered by dirt, was now revealed to the two of them.
Her bright, lively eyes were now curiously fixed on Lin Que, who had bought her.
He appeared extremely quiet.
Lin Que glanced at the little girl, then smiled and said to Huan Qingcheng, "You can feel her condition for yourself."
"You'll probably get a shock in a bit!"
Upon hearing this, Huan Qingcheng was puzzled, but she still extended her delicate hand and gently took the little girl's hand.
The little girl saw this and neither resisted nor was afraid!
Instead, he actively cooperated with Huan Qingcheng's actions, which greatly surprised Huan Qingcheng!
I never expected this little girl to be so calm and composed when facing strangers.
But then!
Huan Qingcheng's expression became even more shocked!
Even his usual indifference.
He also lost his voice at that moment!
"How can this be!"
