Lou Mu Yan observed that there was no hatred in Ji Xuan’s expression and his gestures were as calm as if nothing happened, without even a trace of killing intent, so she had a guess.
“Do you want to avenge Ji Yu?” She asked, sounding him out.
Ji Xuan’s originally waveless eyes revealed some ridicule, “He’s worthy?”
Ji Yu’s mother secretly killed his Empress Mother, and Ji Yu had been plotting to kill him since he was a child. If it weren’t for the great opportunities and luck, he would’ve died in one of the countless assassinations.
How could he possibly avenge that person—he only pitied that he didn’t personally finish Ji Yu.
“As expected, you two brothers are at odds as rumoured.” Although Ji Xuan hid it well, but Lou Mu Yan still caught the sliver of hatred in his eyes.
Ji Yu’s temperament was grim and ruthless, and he was relatively narrow-minded. He must have made things difficult for, or framed, Ji Xuan numerous times, otherwise this man with the same deep scheming wouldn’t reveal such hatred.
Ji Xuan didn’t care what Lou Mu Yan thought of the feelings between them two brothers and said bluntly: “I actually want to thank Young Miss Lou for killing him.”
“You’re welcome. I also think he’s not pleasing to the eye.” If Ji Yu was compared to Ji Xuan, she would indeed be more disgusted with Ji Yu.
Ji Xuan in front of her made her feel a little harder to see through, and she didn’t feel much dislike in her heart towards him, but she wouldn’t underestimate him, still cautious of him acting against her. This man definitely already ‘turned black1’.
“Young Miss Lou sure is an interesting person.” Ji Xuan found that Lou Mu Yan wasn’t like any of the woman he had ever known, neither cold nor tender, nor cruel or arrogant or imperious. In short, she made him unable to see through her.
Lou Mu Yan swept the few people who walked out of the woods behind with her gaze, then looked at Ji Xuan deeply and asked: “Just tell me what business you want to do.”
She discovered that the several people exuded a feeling as if they were searching for this Tier 7 Snake Demon for a while, and she wanted to know if they had the thought of killing her and snatching the treasure.
“Young Miss Lou is indeed a refreshing person.” Ji Xuan said with admiration in his eyes, then went straight to the point: “I want the snake’s gallbladder. If Young Miss Lou could severe your love, I am willing to pay a sum of Spiritual Stones, and other things too, as long as I have them.”
“Can I ask why you want the snake’s gallbladder?” Lou Mu Yan asked.
She didn’t have the thought that she must have the snake’s gallbladder. She had planned to use it to make wine, but she didn’t quite like the bitter taste.
“My Master is a Spiritual Wine Master. Before entering the competition space, he ordered me to collect snake gallbladder of high-level Demon Snakes. It was only because we found the trace of this She Ji did we enter here.” Ji Xuan said with a light smile.
It was just that they never thought that Lou Mu Yan would arrive first.
Lou Mu Yan raised her eyes and looked at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, saying: “So that’s how it is. I’m not interested in it either. How many Spiritual Stones will you give?”
Ji Xuan was at Sword Sovereign cultivation base, and there was also another member at Sword Sovereign cultivation base in the team. The rest were all Peak-Phase Sword Monarch, so if they really fought, then it’d definitely be more difficult than dealing with She Ji.
She considered the snake gallbladder dispensable. As long as these people didn’t want the Crystal Core and venom sac, then it was fine for her to take a step back.
“How about ten thousand Spiritual Stones?” Ji Xuan knew there was a possibility of obtaining it after hearing her say that.
Although Lou Mu Yan was only alone, but, although the Spirit Pets around her were all Tier 6, they all possessed Tier 7 combat strength. It was said that there was even a blood-sucking Spirit Pet that had not appeared yet. Taking it by force was the very last resort. It was nothing if it could be exchanged for money.
Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow: “Twenty thousand Spiritual Stones. Take it if you want it, or if you don’t, then I won’t be accompanying you any further.”
If one could make a fortune, then it was a fortune made. The auction in the central area was about to be held, and she doubled the price because she also wanted to show that she wasn’t soft, only too lazy to fight them.
“Don’t be insatiable, ten thousand Spiritual Stones is already our Master giving you some face.” A man behind Ji Xuan looked at Lou Mu Yan angrily and said.

What qualifications did an Advanced-Stage Sword Monarch have to bargain with their Master. If it weren’t that she killed Ji Yu, and there were even the Spirit Pets by her side, then they would’ve already fought.
Ji Yu furrowed his brows slightly and used his gaze to stop the other people who wanted to say more.
Sure enough, as he thought, Lou Mu Yan snorted coldly and was about to collect the snake on the ground, looking as if she was saying that she didn’t care whether they wanted it or not, what would they do about it, and that if they wanted to fight, then they’d fight.
“Young Miss Lou, do you think this snake gallbladder is worth twenty thousand Spiritual Stones?” Ji Xuan said with a smile, his expression unchanged.
Lou Mu Yan found that his self-restraint was indeed much stronger than Ji Yu, “Isn’t it worth it? This snake gallbladder isn’t an ordinary snake gallbladder, but a gallbladder derived from a snake whose internal organs have mutated. If it’s used to make Spiritual Wine, then its effect would be equivalent to that of a Tier 8 Demon Snake’s gallbladder.”
“Can I take a look?” Ji Yu’s eyes flashed with surprise. Lou Mu Yan hadn’t even seen the snake’s gallbladder, so how did she know it was mutated?
“Sure. Aside from the venom sac and the Crystal Core, the internal organs of this snake can also be given to you as a gift, but it cannot be a cent less than twenty thousand Spiritual Stones.” Lou Mu Yan said generously.
The corners of Ji Xuan’s lips twitched—what did he want those internal organs for? She said it as if she were so generous.
After seeing that Lou Mu Yan used the flying sword to take the Crystal Core and venom sac from the giant snake and put it away first, he used his longsword to open the snake’s belly and picked out the snake’s gallbladder for a closer look.
He was also a Spiritual Wine Master himself and had followed his Master to make wine with snake’s gallbladder all year round. He recognized at a glance that this was a mutant snake’s gallbladder, and he couldn’t help but think more highly of Lou Mu Yan.
“Young Miss Lou is also a Spiritual Wine Master?” He looked up and asked.
“Is whether I’m a Spiritual Wine Master or not related to our transaction?” Lou Mu Yan replied with a smile.
Ji Xuan lowered his head and smiled—this woman sure was very wary of him!
“Sure. Twenty thousand Spiritual Stones, deal. I want the snake’s gallbladder and these internal organs.” The internal organs of snakes can also be soaked in wine, but its effect just wasn’t as good as that of snake gallbladder. However, these internal organs were all mutated, so the effect should be better than that of Tier 6 Demon Snake’s gallbladders.
He was also somewhat interested in the snake’s venom sac, but it could be seen from Lou Mu Yan’s appearance that she paid more attention to the Crystal Core and the venom sac, so he gave up.
Lou Mu Yan nodded: “Then you can take it all, but the body of this snake won’t be given to you.”
After taking this snake’s scales back and ask a Leather Armour Master to refine it into a defence-type leather armour, it could arm her family in the Lou Clan, so she naturally wouldn’t give it to Ji Xuan.
Ji Xuan looked at her in amusement and said: “Don’t worry, I’m not interested in the snake body.”
Although the snake’s scales were good for refining, but he didn’t want to fight with Lou Mu Yan because of something that he didn’t need to have—just for the fact that she thought Ji Yu wasn’t pleasing to the eye and killed him, so he treated her with a good feeling.
Then, he immediately put twenty thousand Spiritual Stones in an interspatial bag and tossed it to Lou Mu Yan.
Lou Mu Yan took the interspatial bag but didn’t check it, and just put it away. She had already swept over its contents with her Mental Energy, so she wasn’t worried that he would deceive her.
Seeing that Ji Xuan had taken away the internal organs and snake gallbladder, she also put the corpse of the giant snake into her interspatial ring.
“Prince Ji is also a refreshing person. I’ll look for you if I have any business to do in the future. I’ll leave first as I have some things to do.” Lou Mu Yan didn’t want to stay here any longer.
Ji Xuan’s expression was sincere, “Alright. Hope to see you later!”
After Lou Mu Yan’s figure and aura completely disappeared in this section of the forest, the man behind Ji Xuan who had spoken before asked, “Master, are we just going to let her go like this?”
