Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 66 - 2: Being a Leg Person Is Not a Disease
Chapter 66 - 2: Being a Leg Person Is Not a Disease
"A hundred Fourth-level Dark Pills? That's quite a bold ask," the red-haired man's thick eyebrows shot up. Converted into Third-level Dark Pills, one Fourth-level Dark Pill equals one hundred Third-level Dark Pills, which would be equivalent to ten thousand Third-level Dark Pills. That price is anything but cheap.
Behind him stood a girl of about sixteen or seventeen. The red-haired man's gaze quickly swept over Yue Jinghua's face, finally resting on her legs.
Strangely, unlike the disdainful look of seeing an ugly woman that Yue Jinghua was all too familiar with, the red-haired man's eyes held a burst of admiration.
This guy's sense of beauty is off, Yue Jinghua thought, looking down at her own legs.
On the Canglong Continent, customs are open, and women, especially Female Dark Practitioners, mostly dress in convenient and short clothing. Today, her outfit was made of leather, resembling modern riding attire, which outlined Yue Jinghua's beautiful legs and alluring figure.
"Hmmph," feeling somewhat dissatisfied after being stared at the legs for so long, Yue Jinghua coughed lightly. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
The red-haired man snapped back to reality and laughed heartily without the slightest embarrassment, "I am Ni Qianjun, may I ask for the young lady's name?"
Is this guy hitting on her?
Qing Pu's jaw almost dropped, and he looked at Ni Qianjun with a hint of hostility.
Hong Yao was also incredulous. Ni Qianjun? Wasn't that the deputy leader of the Rebellion Mercenary Group?
About this deputy leader, Hong Yao knew quite a bit. His name was quite renowned across the continent.
There were two reasons for his fame. The first was naturally his strength. Ni Qianjun, at twenty years of age, was at the peak of Dark Earth cultivation. His signature technique was Wind Red Slash. It was rumored that in one fierce battle, he single-handedly slaughtered ten Fifth-level Dark Beasts. His swordsmanship was so powerful that he split a giant stone resembling a small mountain with one slash.
The second reason for Ni Qianjun's fame was his personal quirk. It was rumored that he once rejected the advances of the well-known beautiful female mercenary Lihua Xue.
Lihua Xue was considered a standout in the female mercenary world. Not only was she stunningly beautiful, but her Dark Techniques were also incredibly skillful. She had a chance encounter with Ni Qianjun and took a fancy to him almost immediately.
Who would have thought, at a Mercenary Guild meeting, Lihua Xue, emboldened by alcohol, confessed her feelings to Ni Qianjun, only for him to retort: "I detest women with bandy legs."
Bandy legs, bandy legs! Although Lihua Xue had a face like a celestial beauty, fate was fair—she was unfortunately born with bandy legs.
From then on, the entire Mercenary World knew that Ni Qianjun had a leg fetish. The look of a woman didn't matter to him, nor did personality—what was key was that she had to have nice legs.
Given that Ni Qianjun was a mercenary, countless women threw themselves at him, and he had seen innumerable pairs of legs. This was the first time he had come across someone who fit his aesthetic preference as perfectly as Yue Jinghua did.
Yue Jinghua's calves were slightly longer than her thighs, her skin was delicate with a healthy complexion, without any excess fat, beautifully sculpted with long straight lines, and Ni Qianjun nodded to himself non-stop in his heart.
Of course, Yue Jinghua was oblivious to what was going on in Hong Yao's mind right now. She only knew that there was a golden fly buzzing around in front of her—odd behavior for a fly, but at least it was golden.
Putting on a typical merchant's smile, Yue Jinghua responded quite shrewdly: "My name is Yue Jinghua, and I am a Pill Master. For the gentleman with the surname Ni, a hundred Fourth-level Dark Pills is not at all expensive. Such Durian Pills can accumulate Dark Power in your body over the course of nearly a month, doubling your cultivation efforts. Additionally, this elixir is beneficial for any Dark Practitioner in any Dark Realm, making it an excellent gift to honor your elders."
That day, having tricked Xie Yu into eating a Durian Pill and making sure it didn't poison him to death, Yue Jinghua immediately consumed one herself.
Under the effect of the elixir, Yue Jinghua discovered that she could gather twice as much Dark Energy as before. When she later sought out Xie Yu to ask about the efficacy, she was informed by the Qianbin Building servant that Xie Yu had closed himself off for cultivation in recent days.
Xie Yu's cultivation was certainly higher than her own, and since the pill worked on him, it meant that it could be applied to other people in Dark Realm as well.
"I'll take this elixir," Ni Qianjun said pleasantly, directly producing a Dan Xuan Card.
Yue Jinghua glanced at the card and saw the dazzling five stars on it; her eyes immediately lit up—what a plump sheep.
