Chapter 125: Hell Of A Shopping Trip

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Following Jessica’s instructions, Chen Zhao stuffed her eyeball into his eye. Immediately, he could see more things.

Although he had inserted an eyeball, he did not feel any discomfort at all.

It was more like wearing a pair of night vision goggles. He felt nothing special.

Chen Zhao discovered the bustling market hidden in the fog.

Of course, the place was also filled with chaos.

Some of the demon merchants were enormous and occupied a large amount of space, while others were small and naturally bullied.

Demons walked around the various stalls, looking for the items they wanted.

Suddenly, a huge demon approached Chen Zhao.

It was a four-meter tall green-skinned demon. He had no head, four thick and muscular limbs, and a mouth on his belly. At the moment, the demon was trying to grab Chen Zhao with his claws.

Chen Zhao lifted his head and stared at the green demon in astonishment.

“Food, delicious food.”

I’m food?

This demon’s going to eat me?

Before Chen Zhao could react, Jessica had already attacked.

She spouted a cloud of frosty gas from her mouth which immediately engulfed the green demon.

The green-skinned demon was completely frozen before he could even touch Chen Zhao.

Then, Jessica gently pointed at the demon with her finger. The huge demon fell backwards onto the ground and broke into many pieces.

There was some disturbance among the demons around them, but they all seemed to be used to such scenes.

A large number of demons would gather here everyday. They had already seen all kinds of chaos.

“Jessica, is your power frost?”

“No, I just cast Soul Freeze. How dare an inferior bigmouth offend you. I’ve already destroyed his soul completely.”

Realizing that Jessica was protecting Chen Zhao, the demons which were originally ready to make their move could only give up their plan.

They did not dare to challenge a powerful Banshee, especially when she was the servant of a big lord.

A few demons around them secretly carried the bigmouth corpse away.

Chen Zhao turned his head around and glanced at the few demons. Feeling his look, the demons immediately hid in a corner.

“What are they going to do?”

“Eat him, of course. This adult bigmouth is not weak. Other demons can obtain some demonic power from his corpse.”

Chen Zhao was also already used to this brutal world.

Just then, Chen Zhao saw some dried old day flowers in a stall.

Last time, Chen Zhao had bought a lot of old day flowers from Raz. It was a species only found in Hell.

Chen Zhao frequently needed old day flowers for his potions.

Since there were so many old day flowers right before him, he decided to purchase some more.

“How much do these old day flowers cost?” Chen Zhao looked at the stall owner.

“One soul fragment, and these two bundles are yours.”

“Huh? How many demonic crystals is one soul fragment equal to?” Chen Zhao asked, frowning.

“A hundred soul fragments are barely equal to one year of demonic crystals, but nobody would be stupid enough to trade a piece of demonic crystal for soul fragments,” the stall owner answered. He had been discreetly peeking at Jessica who was behind Chen Zhao. It appeared that he was very scared of her.

Chen Zhao’s face darkened, because the profiteer Raz had sold him old day flowers at one year of demonic crystals per bundle.

That is, he had been cheated!

Indeed, it was a huge difference. The demon before him only sold old day flowers at one soul fragment per two bundles, which was two hundred times cheaper than Raz’s price!

Chen Zhao had asked Beelzebub about it before, but he had clearly asked the wrong demon.

Either Beelzebub was lying to him deliberately too, and then gained some benefits from Raz, or he did not know the actual price either.

Chen Zhao could accept a win-win situation, where he gets what he needs and the merchant gains some profit.

Of course, because it involved two completely separated worlds, he did not mind Raz earning a bit more.

However, he could not accept a price that was two hundred times more expensive.

“What’s in this bottle?”

“Water from the River of Death. It’s worthless. If you need it, I’ll give you all for free. But this is a soul vessel. One soul fragment for it.”

Chen Zhao was speechless again. When Raz sold him water from the River of Death, it cost one year of demonic crystals.

Raz could earn Chen Zhao’s money only because Chen Zhao really did not know the actual prices.

“This, this, this, and this… I want all of them. How much is it?”

To be honest, the stall owner had no math talents at all. He took a long time just to add the amounts up.

“30 soul fragments in total. Of course, because of your honorable identity, I’ll only take 25 fragments.”

Chen Zhao generously threw him a small piece of demonic crystal. Receiving the demonic crystal, the demon trembled in fear. “Lord, I don’t have enough change…”

“No need.”

Jessica glanced at Chen Zhao. “Living Lord, don’t you know how precious demonic crystals are here?”

“I know. My demon servants told me before.”

“Then why did you give him a piece of demonic crystal? These petty demons don’t deserve it.”

“I only have demonic crystals and no soul fragments.”

“You could have told me that. I have many soul fragments with me.”

Then, Jessica took out a small bottle and poured out many fragments from it.

“No. Since I’ve already paid him the demonic crystal, I wouldn’t take it back.”

Hearing Chen Zhao’s words, the stall owner heaved a long sigh. After all, Chen Zhao’s generosity allowed him to earn a great deal.

The one year of demonic crystal that Chen Zhao had just given him was probably more than what he was going to earn in half a year.

“Living Lord, do you still have demonic crystals with you?” Jessica asked.

“Yup.”

“Do you mind trading some with me?”

“I don’t think I’ll trade them.” Chen Zhao shook his head and Jessica was heavily disappointed.

Demonic crystal was still a rare item for her position.

“But you’ve helped me a lot. Take them as your reward.” Chen Zhao took out ten pieces of demonic crystals of various sizes. They were roughly worth twenty years of life.

“Err…”

“Take them.”

“Then I shall. If you need anything in the future, just tell me.”

The demons around them all tried to come close to Chen Zhao as their eyes sparkled.

Realizing the intention of the surrounding demons, Jessica immediately screamed, “Scram, you petty bugs!”

Just then, Chen Zhao noticed a familiar figure in the distance.

He had to admit that Jessica’s eye had given him an excellent eyesight. Even though it was about a thousand meters away, Chen Zhao could still see it clearly.

The familiar figure was no demon other than the demon profiteer, Raz.
