Wearing the book of a cannon fodder Foxkin

Chapter 22 Two-faced

"Ah are you selling this?"

"Yes."

The girl's voice sounded distant. She also seemed to have a shy demeanor.

Mei looked at the girl, she also seemed to be staring at her, considering they were both dressed up to look so shady.

"How much for that one?"

Mei pointed to the strange necklace.

"20 copper"

Mei internally relaxed herself. She had just enough to buy it.

She was excited. An item with Qi, she could sell for spirit stones.

Mei thought about it.

She could try to feel for Qi in markets, and buy them for dirty cheap using mortal currency.

She internally grinned, this is where she was truly an expert in.

Buying low, selling high.

It was unfortunate that this mortal child didn't know the value of such items.

It was worth way more than 20 copper taels for sure.

Too bad for this girl, Mei thought to herself.

She handed her 20 copper handful over to the child.

Jingling the metal pieces like a the jingling of keys.

"I'll take it then."

Nodding the child took the payment, handing over the item holding it outwards. As soon as Mei touched and grabbed the item, the child's arm began to twitch.

She recoiled back.

Mei still held onto the item.

"Is something wrong?"

"N-no... Nevermind me. Thank you for your purchase. Is there anything you want?"

Mei noticed the children speaking In subtle rush.

It seemed she was more hesitant in her tone of voice.

Was she scared of her?

Either way Mei was going to leave her alone.

She did not have anymore items that contained Qi.

Walking off, the Hooded child finally relaxed a little.

She didn't know that person was a demon.

It was only until she directly touched her. Did she feel the horrifying amount of Demonic Qi in their body.

But it felt strange, it was fluctuating.

It was in chaos.

It was on par with. No, even stronger than Haojin.

The man she was looking for.

Holding the item in her hand, it felt like a light warmth on her palms spreading to her fingers.

Mei quickly walked over to a less populated part of the market. Walking down an empty alley.

Something felt off.

This feeling, it felt similar to the Qi she felt in her Tail Blossom.

A feeling that she felt that was growing immediately.

Suddenly, a burst of lighting and the other elements of her spiritual Core began to leak from her tail.

Mei immediately fell over, stumbling down to her knees outside the view of anyone.
