Chapter 7 - Chapter: 7

"Can you stop using Star God's Broken Shadow like that?" Jasmien asked frustrated seeing Yun Che using her technique to make different afterimages and making them dance in weird shapes. Her soul was bleeding seeing the Star God's Profound Movement Art used for such silly reasons!

"Well, I'm bored, can't be helped." One of Yun Che said with a bored expression. "Anyways, I'm just trying different experiments here."

Jasmine rolled her eyes.

"Then you should reach the next city already. You are doing nothing but wasting time here."

"Sheesh. I know." Yun Che sighed before he looked towards Jasmine with a narrowed gaze. In return, Jasmine's gaze also narrowed in displeasure as she inquired.

"What are you looking at? Want this princess to gouge your eyeballs out?"

"If you have the same behavior, you won't be finding a handsome husband like me, Jasmine."

A blush appeared over Jasmine's face and her eyes fumed with anger.

"Who wants a husband like you?!"

Yun Che shook his head while muttering "kids".

Ignoring the fuming redhead, Yun Che looked ahead and finally saw the outline of a city. His eyes suddenly shone for finally being able to reach New Moon City.

'If I remember correctly, there should be a branch of Black Moon Merchant Guild here. I hope they still have that fiery red dress. Jasmine seemed to really like it in the original.'

But he wasn't an idiot. So before going into the Black Moon Merchant Guild, Yun Che arrived at the nearest shop and brought a max from them; to hide his face.

In this world, everyone wore pretty much the same clothing so he didn't have to worry about them. Only, the face needed to be hidden and he could easily mask his voice.

["Acting" skill acquired!]

["Acting" skill level increased to max!]

{What are you doing?} Jasmine's voice rang within his head, causing him to almost lose his balance. This was the first time she talked directly into his head, startling him.

{Hide my face, obviously.} He replied with a roll of his eyes. {I'm about to sell one of the rares pills of highest quality made up of exceedingly rare herb. With my meager strength, I'm just asking to be robbed. So it's better that I hide my identity and strength before selling stuff to the biggest Merchant Guild. Hiding everything about me would allow me to buff my way through. After all, Unknown is the scariest.}

{... You seem quite experienced in swindling people. This princess is impressed!}

{This is not swindling! I call it being smart! Also, I'm selling genuine stuff here!}

After a small walk, Yun Che appeared in front of a massive building. It was a big crescent moon drawn on the door showing that this building belonged to the Black Moon Merchant Guild.

Ignoring the grandiose entrance, Yun Che entered the store and made his way to the counter.

A dwarf man sat there. He looked up to Yun Che and raised his brow in suspiciousness. But he didn't lose his professionalism and asked, though slightly lackluster as he couldn't feel the strength of Yun Che, prompting him to think he was probably a mortal.

"Welcome to Black Moon Merchant Guild! How can I help you?"

"I need to sell some pills." An adult voice, obviously not belonging to Yun Che, came from behind the mask. "I hope you give me a fair price for it."

"Can I see the product?" The dwarf asked, prompting Yun Che to reach for his chest and bringing out a glass bottle filled with red pills, about three, and placing it in front of the dwarf.

The dwarf picked the bottle up and opened the cap. His eyes widened as his nostrils were bombarded with the fragrance of Fire Spirit Pill! He couldn't help but gulp in nervousness. This was a top-graded pill of highest refinement! Such high quality pills were difficult to get even in the main branch!

"If I may ask, sir, how many pills are we talking about? Of the same level of course?" He asked nervously.

"Hmm." A dignified voice came from behind the mask as the eyes on the mask shone in brilliant red color, stunning the dwarf. "About five hundred or so."

"F-Five hundred?!" The dwarf jumped off his seat in shock hearing Yun Che. It was already hard to get one hand on these pills and Yun Che was selling five hundred of them!? The dwarf thought he was hearing things.

"Dear s-sir, please wait here. I'll go and call the manager!" He now knew that the person in front of him was anything but a mortal. After all, even the strongest cultivators of this empire won't be able to take out five hundreds of such high grade pills so easily! The dwarf thought that this person definitely had a massive background. He didn't want to offend him, so he ran to get the manager.

It didn't take long for the manager to appear; a petit elderly man with eyes full of vitality. He had a healthy white beard on his face as he made his way to Yun Che in a calm manner.

With a smile on his face, he greeted Yun Che.

"Good sir, how may this Pu He address you?"

"... I'm here to sell, not to make acquaintances." Yun Che crudely replied. "As the clerk may have informed you, but I would like to sell five hundred of these highest ranked Fire Spirit Pills. I would appreciate it if you named the price and not waste both of our time with useless pleasantries."

Pu He coughed but didn't seem to be offended. He hurriedly nodded before gesturing towards the clerk.

"Hurriedly take the pills from the respected sir."

"Y-Yes!"

Yun Che didn't say anything but calmly took out five hundred of the Fire Spirit Pills, all that he had, and placed them on the counter.

Pu He's eyes glinted seeing them while the clerk hurriedly took them and examined them, soon informing Pu He that all of them were of the highest quality.

This revelation indeed shocked him. Since he had thought even if Yun Che was from some powerful background, there was no way that he would be selling such high quality pills so easily. Unless—

'He doesn't put these pills within his eyes!' Pu He felt his back filled with sweat as he looked towards the masked man in front of him. 'His background is definitely not something anyone in this empire can compare too!'

Of course, if only he knew that the reason Yun Che was selling these was because he had no use for them. They were useless to him, so it was better to just sell them.

It didn't take long before Pu He presented a card plated with gold to Yun Che with a smile on his face.

"Here, take this, respected sir. All the money has been saved into this card. You can use this card to retrieve it."

Yun Che took the card and examined it, finding a huge amount of profound crystals inside the small space pocket.

Nodding, Yun Che raised his head and looked at the displayed items. This action obviously was not missed by Pu He as he smiled and said.

"Is there something that caught your eyes, sir? If so, please tell this Pu He. He will retrieve it for you."

"Hmm. How much does that dress and bed cost?" Yun Che raised his hand and pointed at the red dress and bed shown in one of the windows.

"As expected of you, dear sir! Nothing can hide from your eyes!"

"..."

"This is a Smoky Red Fairy Dress! It is a small but exquisite dark red dress made for a young lady. It is made with heavenly silk chiffon and embroidered with eighty one blood red crystal tassels! Also—"

"Yes, I understand. How much?" Yun Che interrupted the man in annoyance and asked.

"Hehehe. Don't worry about the price, sir. If it's you, this Pu He dares to give this to you for free. I'm sure whoever lady is getting this is blessed by the heavens."

"She sure is." Yun Che muttered before nodding. "Then I won't be polite. The dress and the bed, I would like both of them."

"Of course sir!"

Once both the dress and the bed were provided, Yun Che didn't spend any more seconds within the Black Moon Merchant Guild and left.
