The Alliance Leader's Bet with the Demon Lord
墨書 Inktalez
"I heard that last month, the leader of the martial arts world lost a bet to the Demon Lord at Tian Mu Mountain. Next month, the leader is going to marry the Demon Lord as a concubine," a burly man exclaimed in Jianghu Inn, spitting as he spoke.
The people around him were taken aback, filled with righteous indignation.
"Smash!" A man threw his wine bowl to the ground, cursing angrily, "Damn it! If even the leader of the martial arts world is marrying the Demon Lord as a concubine, is there any justice left in Jianghu?"
The crowd erupted in chaos, voices overlapping.
"Yes! Let's go to Hero's Lodge and demand justice from Ye Jieyu! She must return the leader's throne!"
"Right, to Hero's Lodge!"
Everyone drew their swords and knives, creating a tumultuous atmosphere.
"Excuse me."
A delicate white hand reached out from the crowd, resting in front of the man who had smashed his bowl. "Hero, before you go to Hero's Lodge, could you please compensate for the broken wine bowl?"
The crowd paused and looked down to see a petite young woman with a charming smile, her crescent-shaped eyes sparkling on her adorable apple-shaped face.
The burly man was taken aback but then burst into laughter, reaching into his pocket to pull out a silver coin and placing it in her small hand. The woman weighed it but did not take it back.
Raising an eyebrow, the man pulled out ten silver coins and placed them in her hand.
She glanced at them, shook her head, and still did not withdraw her hand.
At this point, the man's face darkened like a pot bottom. Gritting his teeth, he pulled out a hundred-tael silver note and placed it in her hand, thinking that if it weren't for all these heroes present, he would have slapped this opportunistic girl away.
The woman looked down at the banknote and pouted her lips. "Hero, what you broke was a Hanyang White Jade Wine Cup, worth three thousand taels."
"What?" The man exclaimed in shock. "Are you trying to extort me?"
She shook her head, "No, you can ask them."
She pointed around her.
The crowd fell silent, and everyone instinctively took a big step back.
"Um, this brother, this cup is indeed worth three thousand taels. I broke two of them at last year's Martial Arts Conference," a thin man stammered, glancing awkwardly at the woman and swallowing hard.
Who would have thought that the esteemed leader of the martial arts world was actually the owner of this black market shop!
Indeed, this petite woman was none other than Ye Jieyu, the renowned leader of the martial arts community.
"I broke two tables made of golden silk nanmu wood, worth ten thousand taels."
"I broke a jade wine pot, worth eight thousand taels."
Hands were raised one by one, and all eyes looked sympathetically at the burly man, as if to say, "Brother, you're already quite lucky."
Though everyone understood the situation, no one dared to tell the man that the woman standing before him was Ye Jieyu.
"Damn it, this is clearly a black market shop," the burly man cursed loudly. The crowd nodded in agreement but remained silent.
Heaven knows that running an inn outside the Martial Arts Conference venue and serving fierce martial artists who could easily fight ten matches a day was no small feat. Yet this Black-hearted Shopkeeper only offered genuine goods, clearly trying to extort money.
"Hero, what you said..." Ye Jieyu began to speak when suddenly, with a whoosh, a wide blade was pressed against her neck. "You’re trying to fool me; today I’ll smash your shop!"
With a crash! The crowd scattered like birds taking flight.
Damn it, another one who doesn't know when to stop. Everyone looked at the burly man with pity.
The man sneered twice, kicked over a table, and reached out to snatch back the silver note from Ye Jieyu's hand.
"Mu Jingkui, you bastard! Are you just going to stand there while I take the fall?" Ye Jieyu shouted up to the second floor.
Before the burly man could even register what was happening, a dark figure shot down from the second floor like lightning and landed right in front of him. With a loud crash, his massive body, as big as a bear, smashed through two tables.
"Ah!" "Heavens!" Gasps filled the air.
"One wine cup, two tables."
A series of rapid clicks echoed as a large black foot pressed down on the man's chest. Mu Jingkui looked up with a handsome, enchanting face, gazing melancholically into the distance. "That'll be fifteen thousand taels in total."
Another reckless fool.
"What?" The burly man let out a wail, his eyes rolling back as he fainted.
"He Liang, take him away and calculate how many plates he needs to wash to settle his debt."
Ye Jieyu walked over and kicked the man before turning back to Mu Jingkui with a bright smile. She patted his shoulder, brushing off nonexistent dust. "Not bad! You took down the fifth-ranked fighter on the weapons list with just one move."
Once again, gasps filled the room as everyone's gaze turned to the god-like figure.
Mu Jingkui raised an eyebrow and turned gracefully to look at Ye Jieyu, who was beaming with joy. "This is one of the two favors I owe you. There's still one more to go, and once that's done, I will still have to kill you." With that, he soared back up to the second floor with a swift motion.
