Let's Squander A Billion First! Chapter 69 – Chapter 69: Chapter 69: The Pinnacle of the Demon Realm (4)

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: The Pinnacle of the Demon Realm (4)
King's Account seemed to have been frightened, and afterward, it no longer made a sound, nor did it release any tasks.

Chuzheng, following the memories of the original owner of the body, made her way to Central City, but upon arrival, she remembered that to pass through that place, one must possess a certain level of strength.

Not her strength, but the strength of this world, this body's strength…

So Chuzheng had no choice but to honestly cultivate.

King's Account considerately didn't release any tasks while she was cultivating.

Shangning City.

As prosperous as brocade, the streets bustling with the commotion of carriages and horses, two figures were darting swiftly past.

“Catch him!”

“Thief!”

Someone shouted behind the two fast-moving figures, but no one in the crowd seemed to care enough to intervene, even stepping aside to clear a path for them.

The figure at the forefront turned its head, making a provocative gesture towards the pursuer.

Smack—

Suddenly, that person fell to the ground, and the one chasing caught up and yanked him up, finding the stolen goods on him.

The owner of the stolen goods also caught up and began beating the thief with punches and kicks.

However, the thief took advantage of the chaos, twisted free, and ran off, disappearing into the crowd without a trace.

Standing right where the thief had fallen was a young girl, her arms crossed over her chest, watching the scene in front of her with an indifferent gaze.

It was as if the lens of time slowed down around her, the hustle and bustle receding into the distance. Her world was peaceful and distant, yet her presence was so intimidating that people dared not approach her carelessly, exuding a penetrating chill and indifference.

That's right, this was Chuzheng.

And at this moment, she had left the Underground Demon City and was in the Human Realm.

Chuzheng made her way through the crowd and entered a weapon shop.

“Does the young lady wish to buy weapons?” Seeing Chuzheng's extraordinary aura, the shop assistant immediately put on a smile, welcoming her, “Our weapons here are the best in Shangning City. Would you prefer swords or whips, or something else? We have everything here, you can pick comfortably…”

“The most expensive,” Chuzheng interrupted the shop assistant.

The shop assistant paused, then chuckled, “Does the young lady wish to see the Spiritual Artifacts?”

In this world, everyone could cultivate, but most only had minor cultivation, sufficient for strengthening the body and maintaining health.

Those with great cultivation were from sects or prominent families.

Spiritual Artifacts were for their use.

“Right, as long as it's expensive,” she stated, not looking for quality, only for priciest items.

The shop assistant's look towards Chuzheng immediately changed, seeing her as an easy mark for a big sale!!

“Please, young lady, the good items are upstairs,” the shop assistant beckoned Chuzheng upstairs.

The decoration upstairs was quite different from below. Each weapon was displayed with care, but at that moment, there was a man upstairs being attended to as he made his selection.

When Chuzheng arrived, the man looked up at her, his eyes brightening instantly.

A beauty!

“Have we met before, young lady?” The man stood up, flicking his fan with a suave air.

“Never.”

“Then I must have seen you in my dreams. Heaven has brought us together. It's destiny, don't you agree, young lady?” The man said flippantly, snapping his folding fan closed and reaching to lift Chuzheng's chin.

Chuzheng caught his fan with her hand, “Only young ladies in your dreams? Are you useless?”

A real man should aspire to great achievements, not just dream of beauties! So unambitious!

The man: “…”

The shop assistant: “…”

The shop assistant who had ascended with Chuzheng wanted to warn her, but Chuzheng did not allow him the chance to speak, pulling forcefully, the fan slipped from the man's grasp.

Releasing her fingers, the folding fan fell to the floor.

She walked past without expression, and the shop assistant wiped away sweat nervously, hurrying to follow her.

The man bent down, picked up the folding fan, and instead of getting angry, he smiled, “Interesting.”

“Young Master Song…” The person attending him was also sweating profusely, wondering what background that young lady had to dare contradict a man known as a lawless tyrant.

“Continue,” said Young Master Song, resuming his seat, though his gaze fixated on Chuzheng in a very blatant and impolite assessment.

The shop assistant swallowed hard and continued his previous pitch, “This whip is crafted from the scale armor of a Fire Nian Beast. Infuse it with your spiritual power, and the scales on the whip will fly out, making it the most suitable gift for the young lady.”

“Really?”

“How could I dare to deceive you?”

“Wrap it up.”

“Right away!”

Chuzheng didn't bother choosing for herself, simply letting the shop assistant select the most expensive items for her, and paid even more swiftly than that Young Master Song.

Just as he wanted to step forward to pay for the beauty and showcase his charm, Young Master Song: “…”

In the Human Realm, Spirit Stones are used as currency, and they are obtained similarly to the Demon Clan, acquired from both spirit mines and Spiritual Beasts.

[Congratulations, Miss, on completing the task. One hundred top-grade Spirit Stones have been delivered.] The King's Account routinely praised its miss, [Miss is awesome!]

“Young lady, please wait a moment.”

No sooner had Chuzheng stepped out of the store than the self-proclaimed suave Young Master Song hurried after her.

“Is the young lady new to Shangning?”

“No.”

“But I see you're not from Shangning.”

“Where did you see that?” Chuzheng asked earnestly.

“…” The accent didn't quite match, even the attire looked different! Young Master Song didn't dwell on this: “May I ask for your esteemed name?”

What was wrong with this person!

In his dreams, he saw a young lady; did he have to hit on any lady he met? Did he think of nothing but young ladies?

Chuzheng, feeling impatient in her heart, glared at Young Master Song with a threat, “Stop following me, or I'll hit you.”

The fierce little look of the young girl only made Young Master Song more eager and itchy at heart.

No such person existed in Shangning, and he was determined to have this beauty.

Young Master Song gestured, and two henchmen immediately came running over: “Go, follow her and see where she settles.”

The two henchmen showed a sleazy understanding and followed after the departing Chuzheng.

Chuzheng shook off those following her and circled around through a secluded alley.

[Hidden task: Please acquire a Good Person Card from Li Tang to prevent his descent into darkness.]

Chuzheng paused in her step; the Bastard issuing a hidden task meant that the Good Person Card wasn't far from her and was waiting for her to pick it up.

But Chuzheng looked around at 360 degrees and didn't spot anyone nearby.

Had the Bastard gone mad?

[Miss, don't just look at the ground.]

Chuzheng: “…”

Could it be necessary to look up at the sky?

The Good Person Card could fly?

Chuzheng raised her head to check the clear blue sky, then lowered her gaze to the ground, the sky… the ground?

Suddenly, Chuzheng looked up ahead, where someone was sneakily peering at her. Seeing that he was noticed, the person immediately turned tail and ran.

Chuzheng threw the Spiritual Artifact she held in her hand, striking the person's body.

“Ah—”

As the person fell to the ground, Chuzheng approached and looked down, “Why are you following me so sneakily?”

“It's you!” the person suddenly twisted around, glaring at her fiercely.

“What's me?”

“On the street earlier, it was you who tripped me!”

Chuzheng took a careful look at him. It was indeed the thief who had been chased earlier in the street.

Chuzheng with a serious face: “It wasn't me, don't talk nonsense.”

“It was you!” The thief's eyes reddened with anger: “If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have been caught!”
