"Ah, it's such a boring itinerary."

North of the Kingdom of Fire.

Close to the Frost Country area.

A young man in a black robe was walking behind his head with his hands behind his head, looking a little lazy, but he couldn't help but make resentment.

"Why should I choose such a place to trade? I came here from Water Country. When I meet, I should ask that guy to reimburse the travel expenses. Wait, is that guy trying to get rid of the bad guy?" Xia Shu muttered as he touched his chin, his eyes flashing with a splendor. "If so, I suddenly looked forward to it."

"Forget it, you'll speed up, it should be almost here."

With a mutter, Xia Shu jumped onto a branch of a big tree, and his figure jumped in the forest, and his speed was much higher than before.

Until the depths of the forest, on the thick branches of an ancient tree, the summer tree stopped and grabbed a bug like a mini ball and played with it.

After confirming the surroundings, Xia Shu noticed a cross symbol on the trunk of a big tree in his sight, and said calmly. "Since you're here, come out."

"Hehe, the little guy is really eager." A pleasant laugh like a silver bell rang out, accompanied by the sound, a tall figure walked out behind the ancient tree with the "cross symbol" portrayed.

This is a woman with sexy figure, long black waist-length hair, black vest and trousers, and a pair of ninja shoes on her feet.

"Where is the thing?" the woman asked with a smile on her eyes at Xia Shu, with pink tongue slashing across her red lips as if she was teasing Xia Shu.

"Of course, I'll get it." Xia Shu took out a scroll from the package under her black robe. A ray of light flashed through her black pupils, and she grinned. "But you have to bring the money first."

"One hundred thousand taels, right?" The woman was not anxious or slowed down.

"That's right." Xia Shu nodded slightly.

The woman raised a charming smile on her face and took out a scroll from the package on her legs. Natsuki recognized it as the storage scroll.

The scroll was thrown into the open space not far in front of him and said, "Take it, you can order the price, right?"

Looking at the storage scroll, Xia Shu's mouth raised, with a hint of disdain. "It's really... a simple arrangement."

Hearing Xia Shu's words, the woman's face turned pale, and a hint of panic flashed through her heart, but she forced herself to calm down. "What are you talking about?"

Xia Shu squatted down slightly, supported her chin with her right hand, and said with a smile. "I'm talking..."

Whoosh.

The sound of breaking through the air sounded.

Xia Shu's left hand, who was playing with the bug, suddenly ejected the bug like a missile, landing on the ground more than ten centimeters in front of the storage reel, stirring up a faint dust.

But the next moment.

boom.

A violent explosion sounded at the place where the insects hit, and there was a fire that soared into the sky.

"I didn't expect you to be brave enough to eat bad things." Xia Shu said calmly, staring at the place where the power of the explosion talisman was generated, and his eyes were calm.

He pulled his right hand behind his back, and a long straight knife was tightly held in his hand and waved it beside him.

clang.

Sparks splashed.

The woman appeared beside Xia Shu at some point, holding Kuwu tightly, feeling the force coming from above, and Xia Shu's hand that was still motionless with a knife blocking her sneak attack, her face pale. "How did you find out?"

Xia Shu turned her head and looked at the woman, her face turned cold. "You have violated the contract, you should know the consequences of breaking my contract."

"Hmph." The woman snorted coldly, without saying anything, but just jumped gently on the trunk of the distant tree, put away Kuwu's hands and quickly formed a seal. "Fire Escape Dragon Fire Technique!"

The woman opened her mouth and a flame sprayed straight, with a hot and hot breath.

Natsuki took out a piece of paper with his left hand, looked at the dense texts on it, and muttered. "Takichi Takami, a native of the Hakuno country, a wandering ninja, had been black-fed and eaten by the Kusin Village for a transaction with the Kusin Village. A week ago, no one took over the task, and the Kusin Village canceled the task because of the high black market handling fee."

"Although I expected that you would be so bad, I didn't expect that the surprise would come so unexpectedly."

The sound fell.

A wisp of wind hits.

The paper in Xia Shu's hand was blown away and engulfed by the flames into ashes.

Swish.

A cold light flashed by, it was a terrifying sword light, accompanied by an extreme murderous intent.

With one sword, the terrifying sword light burst out, and the fire that attacked was separated by Xia Shu's sword and dissipated into the air.

"What?" Yuji Ryumi opened her eyes wide and stared at Xia Shu's knife, her face full of shock. Did this guy come from the Iron Country? Even the decaying warriors in the Iron Country could not have such strong swordsmanship, right?

After being shocked, Tsubaki Tsubaki found that the figure of Natsuki had disappeared at some point. He immediately said, "Not good" and hurriedly raised his hands to make a seal.

Puff.

Blood sputtering.

"ah!"

Yuzhi Longmei screamed with a pale face, and Xia Shu's figure appeared behind Yuzhi Longmei. With a knife, Yuzhi Longmei's white and tender right arm was cut off directly and fell to the ground.

The severe pain made the muscles on Yuki Ronmi's face twitch.

"Really, why do you have to breach the contract? I am a businessman who attaches great importance to the spirit of contract." Xia Shu said calmly.

The cold blade was mounted on Yuzhi Longmei's neck. The cold touch was like the god of death. Even if Yuzhi Longmei suffered severe pain, she gritted her teeth and endured it. She said with a little horror. "Let me go!"

"Yes."

Faced with the words begging for mercy, Xia Shu showed a bright smile on her face, just like the sun, but at this moment it made Yuzhi Longmei shudder inexplicably.

Bang.

Xia Shu snapped her fingers.

A piece of paper suddenly appeared on his left hand, and there were lines of text on the paper, which were not dense, but there were still hundreds of words.

【Trading contract!】

[Trading object: Merchant Summer Tree!]

[You will voluntarily give all your remaining life in exchange for the kindness and mercy of the merchant Xia Shu, and be grateful!]

【If you want, please press your handprint below or sign your name!】

[Tip 1: You may not disclose any content of this contract to anyone, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!]

[Tip 2: Please be cautious about the transaction content of this contract, please do not trade your life and soul at will!]

...

Putting the contract in front of the woman's eyes and shook it, Xia Shu smiled. "Sign your name on this new contract. Oh no, you don't have a right hand now, you should not be able to write, but you can press the fingerprint with your left hand. This is the price you need to pay to survive after breaking the contract."

"Press the fingerprint."

"Or die."

"Select."

After saying that, Xia Shu put the contract on the ground with a calm expression.

"Guru..."

For some reason, Natsuki's calm face made Tsubaki feel scared, but the severe pain came, reminding her to make a choice as soon as possible, otherwise she might die of excessive blood loss.

As a woman, she is very meticulous. Even if it is just a piece of waste paper that doesn't seem worth caring about, she endured the severe pain and looked at the text on it. After reading the content on it, she was a little unbelievable.

That's it?

That's so simple?

In her opinion, the content on this is very simple, life? She doesn't care, because in her opinion, this is simply impossible. Could it be that if she signs a name on a piece of paper and presses a fingerprint, her life will leave her?

This is simply impossible.

No one has this ability either.

Tsubaki Ronmi even wanted to laugh a little. Of course, she was in pain now, so she couldn't laugh out loud, so she could only think about it.

Gritting her teeth, Tsubaki Tsubaki raised her head and looked at the young man in front of her seriously, trying to see something from the other person's face, but unfortunately she couldn't see anything.

While hesitating, she ended up staining her blood with her left thumb and pressing her handprints on the contract.

"Can I... leave?" Tsubaki Ryomi bit her lip and looked at Natsuki nervously.

Hearing words.

Xia Shu didn't say anything, but just put the contract in her backpack, then slowly got up, put the blade away, and quietly stared at Yuji Ronmei.

"What do you want to do?" After being watched by Natsuki, Takami Takashi couldn't help but take a step back, thinking that the other party was going to regret it.

“Don’t be nervous.”

Xia Shu chuckled, stepped forward and gently lifted Yuzhi Longmei's exquisite chin, and said slowly as if she was appreciating. "The beauty of youth is really addictive."

Bo.

Lowering his head, Xia Shu gently kissed Yuzhi Longmei on the forehead.

Then he turned around and left without hesitation and walked away.
