In a split second, the clothes on Huang Yue Li's back became drenched in her cold sweat.
This man.....could actually see through her identity!
How could that be? Her Appearance Changing Technique was obtained from a exceptional master's hands. There were very few who it failed to deceived.
What was most concerning was the method in which this man linked the seller of the armaments to Valiant Martial Manor's Third Young Miss....how did he make the connection?
Currently, she was a peak grade trash ah! Who would think a good-for-nothing could smelt armaments?
Huang Yue Li's facial colour did not change as she answered back: "Owner, what words are you speaking. How come I cannot understand?"
"Cannot understand?" The man smirked, "Do you need me to speak more clearly?"
"What do you mean?"
"As chance may have it, this one has some knowledge and insight into armaments. Two days earlier, included within the list of materials that you purchased where ingredients to creating a long sword. The Ethereal Bamboo is also a necessary component in the Nine Part Whip. The North River Mica is the also the base material used to link different components together.....each and every material was chosen as so. Is this truly a mere coincidence?"
Calmly, Huang Yue Li smiled: "Owner's meaning is....there was someone who also bought those materials? Isn't that just too much of a coincidence? Unfortunately, that person was not me. Today is the first time that I have ever visited Thousand Treasure Pavilion. You have recognised the wrong person!"
Lowering his line of sight, the man's gaze was still sharp. But that faint trace of a smile had never left his face.
"En, buying the same materials can of course be a coincidence. But there is something even more coincidental."
Leisurely he continued: "That day, this one happened to pass by Thousand Treasure Pavilion and also happened to see Third Young Miss Bai leaving from there too. In all likelihood, Third Young Miss should know when martial practitioners reach a certain level, they can recognise others from their soul trace. In my presence, your Appearance Changing Technique does not have any use!"
Huang Yue Li suddenly stood up, her expression wasn't too good.
This man really did see through her technique. He was not ignorant!
It was either because he had cultivated to a very high realm or that he specialised in the techniques pertaining to the soul.
She had foolishly assumed she could trick him. Playing around for half a day, it was him who was playing her!
"That's right, I truly did use an Appearance Changing Technique! But Lord Owner, why must you fuss and not forgive this? I am merely a merchant. Thousand Treasure Pavilion longtime rule is to never ask about the seller's identity. Why are you digging up the roots to find the truth? What is your aim?"
Sitting in his chair, the man swept his gaze from top to bottom. In an indifferent voice, he replied: ""Third Young Miss, why must you be this sharp? This one does not have any particular motives. I only want to collaborate with you!
"Collaborate?"
"Correct. It is really simple, I only want you to refine some special armaments. To an Armament Master who can refine Third Tier Profound Armor.
Armaments, this should not be something so difficult."
With her previous coldly expressionless face, Huang Yue Li responded to him. "Lord Owner, I really am not the person you think me to be. I am also not some Armament Master. It would better for you to find someone more qualified! Good bye!"
As she finished speaking, he turned around to leave.
No matter how this man saw through her identity, no matter how he tricked her, she would not admit to her Armament Master status.
The reason being, she did not want to collaborate with a strong person if she did not have a method to control him.
However, just as she reached the door, a strong gust of wind blew through.
"Bang!" It sounded loudly and clearly. The room's door was slammed shut by the man's profound qi.
Following that, the balance within Huang Yue Li's body was lost as her back heavily smashed into a wall. A wave of dizziness then erupted.
By the time she could react, both her her wrists were being held by him. Firmly, they were clasped above her head.
The man's sturdy and large body, forcefully trapped her. Wrapping up her small and petite body within.
As close as the two people's bodies were, they had yet to touch. But Huang Yue Li could also sense the man's powerfully domineering scent that was full of charm.
She completely lacked any power to resist. Until the jarring truth of absolute might, any trickery was unable to succeed.
Lowering his head, the man whispered with a chuckle in her ear: "Third Young Miss Bai, why are you running? Our conversation.....I think has yet to end?"
Burning hot air blew onto the sensitive earlobe, the temperature of her face rose accordingly.
Her heart skipped a beat.
This type of extreme danger with no ability to resist kind of feeling, suddenly made her feel a sense of familiarity.
Unknowingly, a memory from her past life flashed through her mind.
...
Many years before in the ancient ruins at the Western Desolate Mountains, she met Mu Cheng Ying for the very first time. They had a big fight over a Ninth Grade Magical Beast's inner core.
At that time, she was a top tier talent being arduously cultivated by the Mythical Flame Palace. She also believed herself to be peerless among those of the same generation. Unfortunately in Mu Cheng Ying's presence, she could not even defend against three of his strikes.
This man was also like that. Pushing her against the wall, ambiguously lowering his head, whispering next to her ear.
"One kiss in exchange for a Ninth Grade Magical Beast's inner core? This transaction isn't bad right? Hmm?"
Huang Yue Li was angered to the point that she really wanted to kill him with one slap. But unknowingly to her, Mu Cheng Ying used a technique to seal her acupuncture points.
Under the circumstance where she could not move an inch, the male's thin lips curved as they covered hers. It then turned into a light sucking of the lip, lingering and connecting.
In the end, Mu Cheng Ying reluctantly pulled away. Stuffing the inner core into her hands, he sighed: "Such a shame that I still have important matters to do. Otherwise, I would really like to accompany you. Obediently wait for me to go find you!"
Fondly and with reluctance, he placed another light kiss on her lips. Following that, he disappeared with a flash.
"I will wait for you to die! ! !"
It was the first time that Huang Yue Li fell so hard, also suffering such a large loss. It angered her to the point of insanity.
Furiously, she wiped her lips turned red from the kiss. And the not to be mentioned first kiss........
...
"Little girl, what plot are you cooking up now?"
The man's deep voice rumbled abruptly, alerting Huang Yue Li to her already wandering mind.
Right at that very moment, she had thought of Mu Cheng Ying......
Was it because this man's temperament was also dominating and caused one's heart to quake?
Moving her wrists, Huang Yue Li realized that she did not could resist. She was completely at his mercy and could only give up.
Clenching her teeth, "I said, I am not some Third Young Miss Bai!"
"You are not?"
The man lightly smiled. Closing in on her face, those thin but perfectly shaped lips stood out. At such close proximity, it seemed as if they would land on her face in the next moment.
Huang Yue Li's entire being was stiff.
"What do you want to do?"
Could it be.....he also wanted to forcibly kiss her?
Swiftly following that, a warm feeling could be felt from her face.
But what had landed was not that man's lips, but his finger instead.
The slender and strong finger that seemed to be carved from a piece of white jade, slide lightly across her face. It was like he was pampering and consoling her.
The man carefully and attentively traced every single part of her face. Afterwards he clasped her chin as he measured upwards and downwards. Finally he said: "You look.....barely passable."
At first, Huang Yue Li didn't know what he was doing, but very quickly she caught on.
Unknown as to what method he used, he had removed her fake identity!That could be forgiven, but he had to use that type of tone to speak. And on top of that, commenting on her appearance!
Truth be told, her current body could not be considered to be a beauty. At most she could be called delicate.
In comparison to the four great beauties in her past life, it really could not be considered anything.
However, strength was more important than appearance within the eyes of Huang Yue Li. Based on the fact that Bai Ruo Li possessed the Flame Spirit Physique, made her happier than having some amazing appearance!
Speaking of which, what sprout could this man considered as? What qualifications does he have to evaluate her appearance?
"Lord Owner, the way I look I think has nothing to do with our collaboration right?"
"Collaboration?" Finding it laughable, he replied: "You say collaboration? Did you not deny the fact that you are Bai Ruo Li? Furthermore, you also said that you were not some Armament Master?"
Since she was already exposed, what was the point of pretending to be some garlic clove? ?
Glared her eyes fiercely. Angry as she was, she also seemed to soften down.
"Lord Owner, I truly did lie to you but I ask for your understanding. I am but a weak female. Going outside I will be easily bullied, so I have no choice but to put on a disguise. I did not purposely want to cheat and lie. Pinching me with such strength, it just too painful. Can you first let go of me? Whatever you want to collaborate with, we can talk about it........"
Batting her eyes, a few tear drops started to form.
This attitude, coupled with her originally petite frame fully portrayed her 'weak and feeble female' look.
Any man who saw this will feel pity and couldn't bear to hurt her any longer.
But this man nearly burst out laughing.
Just this two-faced slyness, steel hearted treacherous little fox had the nerve to call herself a 'weak and feeble female'? She was also afraid that she would be bullied?
Clearly when she walked on the wide streets, it should be other people who needed to worry whether or not they will be bullied by her!
Furthermore, if he were to release her, this girl would mostly likely resist with all her might in the next moment. She might even use some method to attract attention. He was not that stupid!
Mouth still curved, the man answered her: "I find this position not that bad. No need to change, just speak like this!"
"You...okay. Go speak."
Seeing he did not fall for it, Huang Yue Li had no more cards to play. She could only listening attentively.
He continued: "These Third Tier Armaments, did you really make them?"
Huang Yue Li nodded her head.
She was already exposed, there was no meaning in continuing her lie.
"Then this Lord cannot understand. Your body does not have any inkling or trace of profound qi, neither your is soul power that high. You are not even dual attributed in fire and metal. How did you refine those armaments? They are also Third Tier Armaments!"
Huang Yue Li pursed her lips together, "I cannot tell you this. If you are to question and investigate further, not matter what you do, I will no longer form any kind of partnership with you."
Calmly, he looked at her for a while before beginning to laugh.
"Okay then, I will ask no more. Everyone has their own secrets. This Lord isn't someone who wants to know everything."
"That's good then." Huang Yue Li let out a breath of relief.
But she did not know what the man thought in his heart: not knowing for now it nothing to worry over. After all, this little fox will become his person. Everything regarding her, he will know sooner or later.
What need does impatience have now?
Thinking for a moment, Huang Yue Li said: "I can clearly tell you this, Third Tier Armaments are the highest I can refine currently and only a few specific kinds. I don't even know what kind of armaments you want? There is a high possibility that I am unable to complete your request."
