C17 What a tragedy

The day was beautiful and cloudless.

The Blue City was still bustling and noisy, with people passing by in the street.

Niu Fen Street was a street with a very famous Blue City. It was located at an extremely good location in the center of the Blue City. It was connected to the northern city where the aristocrats lived and the southern city where the commoners lived. The shops here were densely packed, and were mostly filled with strange objects. Rich people with Blue City and people without money all liked to come here to search for treasures and enjoy the taste of the treasure.

It was noon now, and in a shop specializing in Magicite, there was a show that could make people laugh.

Because it was noon, there was almost no one in the shop. At this time, a fifteen to sixteen year old youth walked in. He was dressed in ordinary clothes, was thin, and had a pretty face.

This youth walked into the shop and walked straight to the low level Magicite's counter without looking at anything. He picked up the five first level Magicite s and carefully examined them, revealing a very satisfied expression:

"Boss, I want these five [Level 1] Magicite, how much is it?"

The owner was a fat middle-aged man. When he saw the voice, he was immediately interested, but after seeing that the person who came wanted only five of the lowest level Magicite, he lost his composure and casually said: "Eighty one Crystal Coin, for a total of four hundred Crystal Coin."

"What?" "Eighty-one, why don't you go and snatch it?" When the youth heard this, he shouted loudly.

The short and fat shopkeeper didn't think it was true, since haggling like this happened every day. He twitched his mouth and said, "That's the price for the market. Do you want it or not?"

"Market price? But that shop not too far away from you, it only sells for seventy Crystal Coin each. " The youth continued.

"70 is 70. Take the money. " The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and said.

The young man chuckled, "I didn't buy the seventy just now, so I want a bit less boss."

"No need for that. Sixty-five." The owner gave in again.

The young man laughed again, and said: "Hehe, boss, I have actually discovered something. Your shop is rather shady, this kind of level one Magicite, if you go to the Southern Barbaric Mountain Range to buy it, there will only be ten or more. Why did you change hands on sixty-five, and a profit of six or seven times that amount?

The shopkeeper saw that this man was buying something small and had even started a personal attack. He could not help but say angrily, "What does a child know? Do you know how far it is from Barbaric Mountain Range to here? Do you know how expensive Blue City's stores are every year? "Buy it or not, leave without buying it."

The teenager did not seem to mind and continued: From the Barbarian City to the Blue City is a total of 460 kilometers. Generally speaking, for missions, the fee for mercenaries is very low, and for you two to deliver such a large amount of goods in one trip, you would probably only need to pay one or two Crystal Coin s fee for yourselves. For shops like yours, Blue City costs fifty purple Crystal Coin s a year, equivalent to five thousand Crystal Coin. I don't mean anything. I just hope you can be cheaper, hehe. "

"Ugh …" How do you know that so well? Forget it, I'm afraid of you. The chunky middle-aged man looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"So it's like that …" The young man then smiled in satisfaction and took the money from his bosom. However, he frowned as if he had suddenly thought of something. A hand reached out to his chest, but his head looked left and right mysteriously, seeing that there was no one around, he then quietly went over to the boss, and said in a low voice: "Boss, I remember that the gold order badge with Ye Family can be sold for 50% discount right?"

"Yes, why? You do? " The short and fat shopkeeper nodded and replied doubtfully. As a Ye Family, more or less all have the right to do so in the South, but the golden token could buy things at a fifty percent discount. However, all those who had the golden order badge were Direct Descendant s of the Ye Family, so who would be short of money? Generally speaking, people rarely used their golden tokens to buy things.

"Hehe!" The youth rubbed his head embarrassedly. He reached out and took out a golden token. On the token, there was a large "Night" character. I'm really ashamed, I'm just a little relative to Young Master Ye Qingkuang, so I borrowed his order badge and played around. "Let's settle the score, boss."

"One hundred and twenty-five Crystal Coin." Suddenly, a black line appeared on the short and fat landlord's forehead. This business was definitely a loss, luckily this master bought a cheap level one Magicite, if he bought a level five or six Magicite, who knows how much he would lose.

"Alright, keep the money. I'm leaving, don't send me off. I'll take care of your business when I have time in the future." The teenager was all smiles as he picked up the five Magicite and walked out of the store.

As soon as the youth left the shop, a young girl in white clothing quickly walked over and whispered, "Brother, did you buy it?"

That's right, the two of them were the brother and sister of Ye Qinghan. Seeing his sister ask, Ye Qinghan nodded his head like a thief. He looked left and right and then muttered: "Alright, let's go back and talk."

The two of them quickly walked away from Niu fencing street, and turned from Nightingale's Castle's small door into their own small courtyard.

"Hehe, today I bought five Magicite, each one was cheaper by ten Crystal Coin than yesterday."

Entering the room, Ye Qinghan threw the Magicite on the table, he drank some water and laughed, as though he was satisfied with today's result.

"Big brother, it's so powerful. Quickly summon Blacky out and feed it to it." Ye Qingyu picked up a Magicite and smiled happily. To her, there was nothing in this world that made her happy. As long as her brother was happy, she would be happy.

"Mn, Blacky is out for dinner." Ye Qinghan nodded and summoned his War Beast.

A white Colour Flow overflowed from Ye Qinghan's chest and slowly condensed to become the size of a palm. Blacky acted like she had just woken up from a dream, she extended her claws and rubbed her drunk eyes, when she saw the Magicite on the table clearly. She transformed into a blur and flew to the table, grabbing the Magicite, and started chewing on it.

"Sha, sha!"

Looking at the War Beast, Blacky had that happy expression on her face when she ate the Magicite. However, Ye Qinghan felt a wave of pain in his heart.

It had already been ten days since Blacky had summoned the Magicite. On the first day, Ye Qinghan received five Magicite from the clan's supply hall. Since then, he kept Blacky in the War Beast space and relied on the War Qi's cultivation to let it get past its weakened period.

Furthermore, he had cultivated War Qi for six more hours every day, hoping that Blacky would grow by absorbing the War Qi.

But!

Only on the third day did he discover a tragedy.

Blacky actually stopped absorbing War Qi s, as if she did not like this kind of food.

With no other choice, Ye Qinghan could only endure the pain of taking out his savings of many years, going out to buy Magicite s to feed Blacky and help it survive its weakened period.

Although Ye Qinghan was the family's Direct Descendant, and was Ye Tianlong's biological grandson … However, he was very, very poor. His father had left early, and his family had long since collected his father's possessions. With his father gone, the status of his clan plummeted. At the beginning, the clan's monthly earnings did not dare to be small. However, ever since grandfather left, the monthly earnings gradually decreased. Up until now, they were mostly just enough to eat and drink. His mother's death had cost him more, so Ye Qinghan was very poor, even poorer than the disciples from the side lines.

And so, there was the beginning, Ye Qinghan bargaining, in order to buy the Magicite. He needed to use the clan's golden token to buy things. This was a matter of losing face for the clan, and if the Hall Of Punishment were to find out, it would definitely be a form of punishment, so …

It couldn't go on like this, since Blacky could eat so much, she would definitely give it food so much that it wouldn't even be able to keep on wearing pants …

He thought of himself in his underpants, carrying the little War Beast and going around begging for Magicite! Ye Qinghan shuddered at the thought and started to ponder. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, he had a plan in mind.

"Girl, there's something I need to discuss with you. I … I want to go on a long journey. "

"Oh, go ahead." Ye Qingyu casually said as he was playing with Blacky and did not notice his brother's expression.

"I mean... I want to go on a long journey. " Seeing that his sister did not understand, Ye Qinghan repeated his words again.

Seeing her brother like that, Ye Qingyu finally reacted and asked curiously: "Eh? "Far away, is it very far?"

"The Barbarian City is a little far away. It might take half a year to travel back and forth." Ye Qinghan said solemnly, his eyes full of guilt. After all, he left his sister at home with no one to rely on.

Ye Qingyu lowered his head and muttered to himself. His faint eyebrows slightly raised, causing others to feel heartache. But after a while, Ye Qingyu raised her head, raising the Blacky in her hands, she asked: "Is it because of Blacky?"

"Indeed. The Magicite s there are extremely cheap, only a few. Our family is poor, you know …" Ye Qinghan laughed bitterly and began to explain.

"Mm. I'll prepare it for you when we leave." Ye Qingyu smiled gently without showing any reluctance or grievance.

"Tomorrow morning, I think. You can come back early if you go early." Ye Qinghan also laughed, and did not reveal any reluctance or worry.

The two of them started to pack up with a smile, their expressions natural. It was as if he had not gone to Barbarian City that was hundreds of kilometers away, as if he had not left for half a year instead.

All the reluctance, all the concern, all the sadness of leaving were deeply hidden in their eyes.
