Dong Fang Qing Cang's eyes swept around the room. All of the men were trembling with fear and protected one's sword. After that, a lively discussion with everyone who began to form an idea, "Your greatness, I think this young lady here does not fit welding the spear or dancing with the sword. Perhaps she can get a whip."
The person who makes whips immediately darkened the face, "Whip is difficult to learn ah. This young lady might hit herself. Perhaps a flexible double-edge sword."
The person making flexible double-edge swords hurriedly waved hands, "Flexible doubled edged sword will not do ah! The mouth is sharp and does not have any scabbard. It's because this young lady is rather lean and spiraling it twice would be loose. If the neck ends up being cut then what, perhaps dagger."
The person making daggers became startled, "Dagger will be of no help! People say that lengthier it is, the strong it goes. If the young lady put the dagger on body, turn around and people would cause harm to her before the dagger can be taken out. I think purchasing concealed weapon is better."
The suggestion was unanimously agreed upon because… in this store there were no concealed weapons, only the outside has….
Dong Fang Qing Cang was silent. During the time everyone waited on Demon King to speak up, Little Orchid has spoken first, "Concealed weapon is good ah." She turned head around and eyes passionately peered at him. She tiptoed and pressed against his ears, but Dong Fang Qing Cang was standing straight; thus, Little Orchid tiptoed straight with her legs. Yet, she stilled missed a bit and his eyes tilted to the side to peer at her. After that, unexpectedly bent his waist slightly, and let Little Orchid's mouth to be besides his ears.
"Big devil, you will still want to buy weapon for me. I think weapon that doesn't fight but can threaten is the best." Little Orchid spoke, "I've been looking at the Heavenly Fragrant duduo sold outside for quite a while, see that it is good enough, perhaps…"
Dong Fang Qing Cang bent waist and also spoke besides her ears, "In a little while, ben zuo is about to return to the demon realm. The people of the demon realm dare to perform a curse on ben zuo. Definitely cannot avoid a fierce battle."
His voice was not good or bad (tone-wise), "Little flower demon, you want to wear a duduo and bare the buttocks to accompany ben zuo while fighting at close quarters?" Dong Fang Qing Cang curved his lips, "You are unexpectedly braver than ben zuo!"
Little Orchid's face was dazed and appeared to harden as she looked at Dong Fang Qing Cang while already standing straight and she spoke with shock, "You,you want…you want to go to demon realm with me…to fight?"
"Ben zuo has already said that this period of time you have to be by ben zuo's side. Naturally, where I go you will also have to go. If ben zuo goes to the underworld (prison), how can you possibly live by yourself in the mortal realm?"
Little Orchid felt that such words were really familiar, but from before she has only seen them in several fates of master's book. It was in a situation where someone would say to another person, "Wherever you go, I will go. If you go to the underworld (prison), how can I possibly live by myself in the mortal realm…"
This statement…was from Dong Fang Qing Cang's mouth, and has merely changed the positions of the two words "you, I", but already caused Little Orchid's feeling from being moved to becoming alarmed.
She hurriedly shook her head, "Cannot, cannot, you will battle each other and will definitely not attend to me. I will pierce to death by another there."
Dong Fang Qing Cang withdrew his teasing expression, "Therefore, ben zuo told you to pick a fitting weapon."
"…I will not let the bone orchid pierce me again. After that, will wait for you to finish fighting and then come get me…" Receiving disdainful gaze of Dong Fang Qing Cang, Little Orchid gestured finger to vow, "I will never ever cause a prank and take the opportunity to escape…"
Dong Fang Qing Cang snorted coldly, and then walked next to the large person making daggers and with bare hands, he held loosely onto the black iron that was fiery from baking in the oven.
Everyone looked to the point of being dumbstruck. Dong Fang Qing Cang touched the mouth of the iron to examine left and right. Immediately his eyes flashed red. The raging flames in the hand immediately burst out and burnt the mouth of the lump of black iron very red. He then placed the melting iron back, "Ben zuo will take this dagger."
"Hey…it hasn't finish forging."
Dong Fang Qing Cang gave all the silver money obtained from the store to the man forging the dagger, "Ben zuo will wait at the inn outside Crystal city of the demon market for one night. Bring it to ben zuo tomorrow."
Seeing the stack of "demon market money", the male's eyes immediately dazed out. After that, he grabbed all and forgot about accepting those words. He was only concerned about counting twice until he looked up to see the Dong Fang Qing Cang grabbing Little Orchid and leaving the weaponry stalls.
Little Orchid was still struggling, "You gave too much! It's definitely is too much! You look at the gazes of the people on the side! You've definitely given too much!"
Dong Fang Qing Cang carried Little Orchid outside of Crystal city and did not allow any protesting, "Ben zuo is happy."
Little Orchid said hatefully, "If given a lot then should have given to me ah! I definitely need the money more than him!"
Dong Fang Qing Cang heard this and finally shot a glance at her, "Use money to buy duduo?" Little Orchid's pair of eyes glistened and looked at Dong Fang Qing Cang. He smiled, "Fine, ben zuo will buy for you, will buy all for you." Little Orchid's gaze became luminous, but the smile on Dong Fang Qing Cang's genial smile gradually turned sinister, "But from now on, every day can only wear a duduo. Each day is one piece, cannot be repeated."
"…"
"Want to buy?"
"…Don't want anymore,"
Seeing Little Orchid wilt like an eggplant with frosted dew, and walk without strength and dropping head, Dong Fang Qing Cang, whom one does not know what he's thinking, unexpectedly curved the corner of his mouth to smile. At this time, he was walked finally came to the boundary of Crystal city and on the boundary seems to have or have not reflected his face.
Seeing the smile on the corners of his mouth, Dong Fang Qing Cang slightly stare blankly and then blinked eyes, which immediately hid the smile in a snap and did not let anyone detect it.
Has left Crystal city to go to the surface. The frozen lake from behind suddenly shifted "hua (clamoring)" one sound.
Little Orchid turned around to look. Unexpectedly, it was Big Yu that poked its head out from the lake and was still like before. It placed its head on the surface and solemnly lies down to prostrate as if waiting for Dong Fang Qing Cang to tread on its head.
But Dong Fang Qing Cang did not bother to look at it, and only walk toward the direction of the demon market in the front with his head not turning around once.
Da Yu waited for a while and then heard the footsteps of Dong Fang Qing Cang getting far away. It confusedly lifted its head to look and followed the back of Dong Fang Qing Cang. A bit…
Pitiful?
Little Orchid thought such…
It seemed that not treading on its head has caused it to feel very hurt…
"Tomorrow we will leave." Little Orchid can't help saying to Da Yu, "You go play under the frozen lake first."
Da Yu heard such and was not resentful. It peacefully retreated under the frozen lake. Looking at its shadow on the water surface, Little Orchid knew it has swum far.
Legends have said that when demonic creatures appeared would cause a bloody and smelly wind-like battle… unexpectedly, in front of Dong Fang Qing Cang it was obedient like a clever puppy that next door neighbor xianjun* has taken care of. This has truly caused Little Orchid to be a little surprised.
* Immortal lord
Dong Fang Qing Cang found a tavern in the demon market to stay. It was not long until the sky has darkened. Little Orchid felt that today was very exhausting and after washing, quickly climbed onto the bed and slept.
Little Orchid did not sleep long when she began to dream, but the strange thing was that she has realized clearly that this was a dream as the scenery she saw has caused her to feel alienated in a peculiar way.
She seemed to be trap inside a transparent cage. Inside this cage, she saw the scenery she has seen today.
It was the scenery illusion of the owner of the demon market.
Wildflowers and spring grass, warm sunlight and gentle breeze.
But this scenery illusion was different from the scenery illusion she has seen today. Here, it did not cause her to feel strangely enchanted. Everything was natural and was closer to the real world than the scenery illusion.
She saw inside the simplistic, unadorned house was a purpled-clothed female walking out. Appearance was exactly like the female with purple clothing that they have met when meeting the owner of the demon market. Yet, the facial appearance was more quick-witted and between the brows exuded heroic spirit that people cannot copy.
She stretched her hands and eyes peered at a direction afar. Does not know what [she] has seen as a smile suddenly bloomed from the lips and hands waved toward that direction as if mouth was saying, "…Come over."
Calling someone to come here…
From afar would see a silhouette that slowly approaches her and the smile on her face would become increasingly gentle.
"A Hao…"
"Stand up."
The cold-like call has cut the dreamlike scenery of Little Orchid. She opened her eyes and outside the window was bathed in bright sunlight. Dong Fang Qing Cang was standing next to the bed and peering at her indifferently, "People at the Heavenly realm would also sleep all the way to the afternoon?"
Unexpectedly, it…has been the afternoon….
Little Orchid bewilderedly sat up, "I clearly have slept for only a while ah…. Has dreamt a strange dream too."
Dong Fang Qing Cang's eyes shifted, "Oh, dreamt what?"
Little Orchid recalled back and then scratched head, "Just now was called by you and I have forgotten it…"
Dong Fang Qing Cang assessed Little Orchid for a while and did not say anything else. He merely tossed the newly dagger on the bed, "This dagger is yours, take it."
Little Orchid was dazed. Face was anxious as she held the dagger up, "You really are forcing me to kill enemies along with you ah…"
Dong Fang Qing Cang immediately responded, "Does not hope for you to help with anything. It's merely that the demon realm is not easy to deal with like Qian Yin mountain. It's not definite that the bone orchid will protect you safely. On this dagger has ben zuo's power. When you're in danger, it can help you find an opportunity to fight and live." He turned his body away to leave, "Later on, don't say that ben zuo did not protect you."
Hearing such words, Little Orchid was a bit stupefied.
This dagger…was unexpectedly like the bone orchid—used to protect her.
"Go change clothes, today will depart to the demon realm."
