Chapter 131: Dagger

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On this day.

Everyone in the Song family was in endless grief.

In one night, their children had both died tragically. One did not even have a corpse left, and the other’s corpse had been ruined.

Was there anything worse than this?

Other families in MO City, as well as people who were close to the Song family, all came to the Song residence to attend the funeral.

Naturally, the Qin family had to send someone there too.

Regardless of the enmity between the two families, they still had to make sure that etiquette rules were followed.

After all, MO City was only so big. They would meet frequently.

When the City Lord of MO City—Meng Jinnan—heard the news, he flew into a rage and immediately urged the government office to investigate.

All the big shots who paid their respects to the Song family were indignant and said that they wanted to help find the murderer.

However, only a day later, no one mentioned the Song family’s incident again.

There was news from the front line that the Grand Princess was coming to MO City in a few days.

It was almost the end of the year.

The Grand Princess’ army was stationed at the border dozens of kilometers away from MO City. Her army could not return to the capital or the Fiery Moon Nation for the new year, so they chose to come to MO City to celebrate the new

year.

There were two reasons for that. Firstly, Meng Jinnan had done everything possible to invite her. Secondly, the Grand Princess had been to MO City three times and was very familiar with this place.

Coincidentally, there was nothing to do at the front line, so she wanted to come over in advance.

When Meng Jinnan received the news, he immediately organized people to clean the entire city. At the same time, he strengthened the security and daily patrols.

The officials began to bring their men from house to house to register the number and names of people living there.

Outsiders, as well as people without status, were all expelled from the inner city, regardless of gender and age.

The merchants on the streets also hung colorful decorations.

Everyone in MO City, be it the officials or the commoners, was looking forward to the arrival of the Grand Princess.

Young men and women were even more excited.

Some talented people even racked their brains to write poems to praise the Grand Princess.

The Grand Princess was famous not only because she was the only older biological sister of the young Emperor, but because she had personally fought in battles. Her military achievements were gained through her own efforts.

This time, during the battle at the border, the Grand Princess once again showed her extraordinary military talent to the Great Yan Empire.

It could be said that the peace in MO City was largely due to her efforts.

Therefore, everyone was excited when they heard that the Grand Princess was coming.

All right.

Not everyone was excited.

After cultivating at the bottom of the lake for two days, Luo Qingzhou began to prepare for his first mission tomorrow.

In the afternoon, he left the residence.

He first went to the other martial arts shops to compare the prices and bought some emergency medicine, gauze, and so on. Then, he went to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

However, at this moment, he did not even have a single gold coin on him.

Moreover, he did not have much silver left either.

He originally wanted to buy a dagger as a backup weapon, but after asking for the price, he could only give up.

With the remaining silver, he bought a map of the Black Forest.

For the past few nights, he had been observing the road outside MO City with his Out of Body. However, he could not see the direction of the Black Forest clearly.

Firstly, it was very big. Mountains and ridges stretched endlessly.

Secondly, his soul could see that there was a dense black fog floating in the sky which resulted in him not being able to see anything clearly.

After buying the map, his pockets were empty. He could not even afford a stick of candied hawthorn.

He had a demon core in the storage bag.

However, he could not use it for the time being unless it was a critical moment.

Luo Qingzhou did not know if he had bought enough Tendon Refinement Potions. He might need to buy more. That was when he would use the demon core.

After chatting with the shop assistant for a while, he realized that it was more convenient to have a dagger.

Other than dissecting demon beasts to obtain demon cores, it could also be used to deal with some poisonous and strange creatures. Some demon beasts were soft all over. Not only were their defense abilities astonishing, but they could also reduce the strength of martial artists. At this moment, the dagger could be used.

Usually, such demon beasts were most afraid of sharp blades.

Of course, those blades had to be blades specially used by martial artists.

Luo Qingzhou flipped through the books that introduced the various demon beasts in the Black Forest and realized that daggers were indeed very important. They could save one’s life at critical moments.

After leaving the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, he hesitated for a moment before returning. He took out the demon core and asked the shop assistant how much it could be sold for.

The shop assistant took the demon core and observed it for a while before saying, “Sir, this is the lowest-level demon core, and the quality is especially poor. If you look at it under the light, you can see that there’s a crack inside. If you want to sell it, we’ll give you 200 gold coins at most.”

“200 gold coins?”

Luo Qingzhou thought for a moment. The cheapest martial artist dagger cost 280 gold coins. Even if he sold this demon core, it would not be enough to buy the dagger.

“All right, I’ll think about it.”

Luo Qingzhou decided to ask around at the other shops.

After taking the demon core, he went out and went to other shops that sold martial arts supplies to ask.

In the end, the prices were about the same.

One shop even lowered the price to 150 gold coins.

He thought about it seriously for a while and decided to go back and give it a try. He wanted to see if he could borrow some money.

After all, this was a matter that concerned his life. He could not be careless.

But who should he borrow money from?

The first candidate was naturally Bai Ling.

He no longer had any qualms about asking Bai Ling anything. There was nothing embarrassing about borrowing money from her.

In any case, he was going to return the money.

However, he had never seen her go out alone or do any work. He did not know if she had that much money.

After selling the demon core, he was still short of 80 gold coins.

If it was 80 taels of silver, that girl would definitely have it.. However, gold coins…
