Chapter 1703: Chapter 1703: Hey, Mister!

In an inconspicuous corner of the Martial Artists Trading Market, a middle-aged man in black animal clothing sat on the ground, with only a few cultivation resources placed in front of him.

Compared to other strong individuals who had dozens or even hundreds of cultivation resources piled before them, the middle-aged man’s setup seemed somewhat shabby, and consequently, he was mostly ignored.

Even though the middle-aged man was sitting, he was taller than many Martial Artists when they were standing, clearly indicating a very large physique.

The middle-aged man had thick hair and beard, tiger-like eyes, and a wide mouth, looking imposing and majestic, like a mighty lion.

The middle-aged man was one of the disciples of the Black Tortoise Sect, with a cultivation level at the first level of the Thunder Tribulation, and from the Martial Artist Aura emanating from him, it was clear he was a strong practitioner of Water System Techniques.

As Fang Bai passed by the middle-aged man, his heart stirred slightly, and he squatted down, pointing at a fist-sized black object and casually asked, “Brother, what is this thing?”

The middle-aged man glanced at him and shook his head, “I don’t know. I obtained this item during my training in the Northern Desolate Extreme Lands. Although the Spiritual Energy it emits is faint, I feel it might be a treasure, so I brought it back.”

Fang Bai picked up the black object, played with it for a while, and asked with a smile, “How do you want to trade this item?”

The middle-aged man, noticing Fang Bai was only at the Half-Step Thunder Tribulation, harbored some disdain, and said, “Are you sincerely interested in this?”

Fang Bai nodded, “Of course!”

The middle-aged man said, “Good! Ten thousand Royal Grade Water Spirit Stones, ten bottles of Royal Grade Water Spirit Pills, or fifty Royal Grade water attribute Spiritual Medicines, you can exchange any one of these for it!”

Fang Bai asked, “The Royal Grade cultivation resources are divided into superior, medium, and inferior grades, which one are you asking for?”

The middle-aged man snorted with a bit of annoyance, “Naturally, the inferior grade! Can you, a Half-Step Thunder Tribulation, afford medium or superior Royal Grade cultivation resources? Even I can’t!”

Fang Bai gave an “Oh,” and smiled, “That’s a reasonable price! I’ll give you ten thousand Royal Grade Water Spirit Stones then!”

He was just about to transfer the ten thousand Water Spirit Stones from his Space Ring to the middle-aged man when he heard a sweet voice behind him, “Hey, mister, can I have a look at the thing in your hand?”

Without turning around, Fang Bai already knew who was speaking. Thinking about her mischievous character, he couldn’t help but smile slightly.

“Mister, I’m talking to you!”

A pretty girl in a black dress squatted beside Fang Bai. When Fang Bai slowly turned his face towards her, his gaze was warm and his smile was gentle, which gave off a calming force, making her slightly dazed.

“I can let you have a look, but I’ve already agreed on a price with this brother here, you can’t just cut in!”

Fang Bai said with a smile to the girl in the black dress.

At this moment, the middle-aged man across had already stood up, showing a flattering smile, and said, “Junior Sister Mingyue, how come you have time to come here?”

The girl in the black dress was none other than Baili Mingyue, who had recently advanced to the Thunder Tribulation Realm at the Black Tortoise Peak Summit. After reporting her success to her master, she heard that two sea ships had just arrived on the island, so she came to see if she could find cultivation resources for herself.

Baili Mingyue, possessing an Innate Water Spirit Root, had a sensitivity to water attribute cultivation resources far beyond others. When she passed by Fang Bai, she saw the black object he was playing with and immediately recognized it as a rare water attribute treasure, bringing joy to her heart.

However, since the treasure had already fallen into Fang Bai’s hands, although known for her “Little Witch” moniker, she was not one to act unreasonable. Even though she was anxious inside, she refrained from snatching it and decided to buy it from Fang Bai with a higher price.

When asked by the middle-aged man, Baili Mingyue smiled lightly and said, “Hello, Senior Brother Gu! I came here just for fun! By the way, where did you get this thing? I haven’t seen it before!”

Senior Brother Gu replied, “I brought it back from my last training session. If Junior Sister Mingyue likes it, I will give it to you.”

Baili Mingyue glanced at Fang Bai and said, “Since this mister has already agreed on a price with you, to give it to me now seems not quite right?”

Senior Brother Gu waved his hand and said, “There’s nothing wrong! As long as the deal isn’t done, it’s still mine. If I say I’ll give it to you, I’ll give it to you, just like that!”

If it were someone else, Baili Mingyue might have agreed, but she had a good first impression of Fang Bai and didn’t want to deprive him of his purchase. So she said to Fang Bai, “Mister, how about this? What was the price you agreed with Senior Brother Gu? I’ll double it for you, will you sell it to me?”

Fang Bai shook his head, “No.”

“Mister, I really thing, please sell it to me, would you? If not… how about I triple the price?”

Despite Fang Bai’s refusal, Baili Mingyue surprisingly didn’t get upset but pleaded softly.

Gu Lie silently sweated for Fang Bai, thinking to himself that he really didn’t know what was good for him. His junior sister was already giving him face by wanting to buy it from him. If he truly angered her, he would regret it for a lifetime.

“Mister, I want to know, why are you unwilling to sell it to me? Though it’s a good thing, it’s not priceless!”

Baili Mingyue repeatedly raised the price, but Fang Bai still shook his head in refusal, which made her both frustrated and disappointed, causing her to ask.

Baili Mingyue herself found it strange that her temper would turn so good in front of Fang Bai and couldn’t muster any anger or hatred.

Not only was she surprised, but even Gu Lie, across, was incredulous, wondering when his junior sister Mingyue became so patient?

In a normal scenario, wouldn’t his junior sister throw a tantrum and come up with all kinds of ways to deal with this guy?

As for whether his junior sister took a liking to him, it seemed unlikely, considering Fang Bai was about the same age and not particularly handsome, and only at Half-Step Thunder Tribulation cultivation… This update is available on novel·fire·net

How could his junior sister take interest in a man like that?

Fang Bai sighed and said to Baili Mingyue, “I won’t hide it from you, I bought this to forge a Spiritual Artifact, then gift it to my Martial Dao companion!”

Baili Mingyue blinked her eyes and said, “Your Martial Dao companion must be very beautiful, right, mister?”

Fang Bai laughed, “Correct. She’s as young and beautiful as you, almost like a twin sister to you! She also has a bit of a cunning side, enjoys being a little coquettish and throwing small tantrums…”

“Mister, your Martial Dao companion sounds a lot like me!”

Baili Mingyue’s eyes shone brighter and she asked, “So, mister… is your Martial Dao companion on this island? I really want to meet her.”

Fang Bai blinked and smiled, “She’s on this island, and you’ll see her very soon!”
