Chapter 60

Seeing Ziyun's nervous appearance, Shifeng smiled wryly.

"There's no need. I can still afford this money. If you really sell it to me for 5 silver, you won't make much profit either." Shifeng waved his hand, not eager to immediately bring Ziyun under his wing. However, he was absolutely determined not to let her go. Being too eager would only make her suspicious; it was better to first build a closer relationship.

No one would have thought that Ziyun, one of the top ten divine priests, would look so nervous.

She was a divine priest!

A genuine sixth-rank profession, a level that few people in the world would reach even after ten years. Even after ten years, Qianhuan Wanmie would only be at the peak of the fifth rank, a Holy Spirit.

However, as a divine priest, playing a life profession in the early stages of the Divine Realm was truly a waste of talent.

Generally, players who lacked skills in the Divine Realm earned money through other means. However, the most popular secondary professions often required high thresholds, such as a large amount of resources and extremely low success rates. Without the support of a guild, it was difficult to survive.

On the other hand, secondary professions like cooking were much easier to start. The cost was low, and a single player could afford it. If one had extremely high talent and could make delicious dishes, they could earn a lot of money in the Divine Realm. However, delicious dishes usually required high-level recipes and high-quality ingredients, which were not easy to obtain, making it hard to earn a lot of money.

It was hard to imagine that a future divine priest would be such a clumsy girl.

He remembered that Ziyun had been a member of the Body Devouring Snake for the first three years. It wasn't until the Ice Goddess left the Body Devouring Snake that Ziyun also left. Since then, she had always been a solo player, becoming a fourth-rank high priest. Numerous top-tier guilds offered her astonishingly high prices to recruit her, and the Body Devouring Snake tried countless times to bring her back, but she never even glanced at them.

This angered the top-tier guilds. Since they couldn't get her, they decided to destroy her, so they sent many experts to assassinate Ziyun.

However, not only did they fail to destroy Ziyun, but she became even stronger, defeating these guilds and causing chaos. Soon, she advanced to the fifth rank, becoming a Radiant Holy Priest, making it even harder for the top-tier guilds to deal with her.

In the end, Ziyun became a sixth-rank divine priest, settling scores with these guilds. The guilds had to pay a heavy price to resolve the matter, which made Ziyun one of the top ten divine priests in the world. This left the Body Devouring Snake's leadership deeply regretful for not retaining her back then.

This incident had always been a laughingstock for the Body Devouring Snake, criticized for not valuing capable people and instead favoring those who flattered them, leading to the loss of an opportunity to become a super guild.

However, Shifeng noticed that Ziyun did not have a guild emblem.

Considering Ziyun's performance in the previous life, Shifeng guessed that she must have been recognized by the Ice Goddess, who had a significant impact on her. Therefore, Ziyun left the Body Devouring Snake after the Ice Goddess stopped playing the Divine Realm.

Now, since Ziyun had not yet met the Ice Goddess, it was a great opportunity for Shifeng. Even if Ziyun was not currently strong, she had the potential to become a divine priest. With proper cultivation, she would definitely become a divine priest in the future.

Hearing Shifeng's words, Ziyun was not a fool. She nervously stared at Shifeng, protecting her not-so-full chest with both hands, and took a step back.

"Sir, apart from selling ice juice, I don't sell anything else. If you regret it now, you can take your money back." Ziyun handed back the silver coin she had just received, but her eyes still showed reluctance.

In her moment of despair, someone suddenly appeared, saying they wanted a thousand cups of ice juice and was willing to wait thirty hours without reducing the reward. Shifeng must have had some ulterior motive; she wouldn't believe otherwise even if she were beaten to death.

Not just Ziyun, but even the onlookers didn't believe it. If there was no ulterior motive, why would someone go out of their way to help, let alone spend ten silver coins on something no one drank?

Shifeng, seeing Ziyun's wary eyes and actions, glanced at her flat chest and laughed. "You're really overthinking it. I have no interest in a flat chest. I just need the ice juice, which is why I bought so much. If you don't want to sell, it's fine; I'll find someone else."

Saying this, Shifeng released Ximen Piaoxue and turned to leave.

However, Ximen Piaoxue was not willing to let Shifeng go. Being forced to kneel in front of everyone was a huge embarrassment, and when had the Martial Alliance ever been afraid of anyone?

Since the guards were not intervening, it would be easy to take care of Shifeng.

Thinking this, Ximen Piaoxue drew his weapon and charged at Shifeng.

With his heightened senses, Shifeng naturally knew what was happening. He turned around, drew the Abyssal, and used a parry.

With a clang, Ximen Piaoxue's greatsword hit Shifeng's sword and was knocked back three yards, the durability of his greatsword decreasing by two points. He looked at Shifeng in shock.

He couldn't understand how Shifeng could be so strong, almost like a human beast.

The onlookers were also shocked. Ximen Piaoxue was a berserker, surely with a lot of strength. Both were level three, yet the difference was so great.

What they didn't know was that this was only half of Shifeng's strength.

After all, Shifeng gained 6 free attribute points per level, 1.5 times that of a regular player. Not to mention his bronze and black iron equipment, and even more powerful magical items. Even with just half his strength, he was far superior to regular players.

If he hadn't suppressed half his strength, with his activated hidden strength skill and the power of his magical items, he could have easily destroyed that ordinary greatsword.

"You little punk, I'll show you what I can do!" Ximen Piaoxue, not believing Shifeng was his match, stood up and raised his greatsword at Shifeng.

"You're a fool." Shifeng didn't bother to respond, putting away the Abyssal.

Seeing Shifeng put away his weapon, Ximen Piaoxue thought Shifeng was afraid and was begging for mercy, but he wouldn't forgive him. He increased the strength in his hands.

Just as Ximen Piaoxue was about to strike Shifeng, he was stunned. He wanted to turn around and curse, but suddenly found six guards in silver heavy armor standing in front of him, handcuffing him without a word.

"You violated the town's laws. Come with us. Any resistance will be met with lethal force." Two guards grabbed Ximen Piaoxue and took him away.

"Damn it, you've got the wrong person. I'm a good citizen. That punk attacked me first; you should arrest him." Ximen Piaoxue kept pointing at Shifeng, shouting that he was innocent, but the guards ignored him and took him away.

Everyone was surprised. Why did the guards come now, and why did they arrest the wrong person? What was going on?

Could Shifeng be a noble NPC? Only noble NPCs had such authority.

Ziyun, standing nearby, was stunned. She didn't understand why the guards didn't arrest Shifeng but Ximen Piaoxue. Could Shifeng really be a noble NPC?

Seeing Shifeng about to leave, Ziyun bit her pink lips, looking at him with deep reluctance. Her small hands tightly gripped the hem of her clothes, but she couldn't bring herself to speak.

Of course, it wasn't because Shifeng was particularly handsome, but because she desperately needed money. Those ten silver coins were too important.
