A Demon’s Path

Chapter 356 The price of looking at someone's face

"Master, you..." Upon hearing her master following Ling Xiao, Ling Shiyu looked at her master in surprise, with a complicated expression on her face, not knowing what to say.

Until before, Ling Shiyu and her father hadn't figured out why that old man Zhang found the Chengtong store in the first place. It turned out that it was Ling Xiao who left the bloody words, and the master who was following Ling Xiao didn't even notice that. Erase the word Xing Xing!

The middle-aged man surnamed Lu smiled: "I, Lu Chun, think that I can't misjudge people. You should be the kind of kid who deliberately deceives people, but you won't deceive little girls like Brother Tongxian and Shiyu. Because it's not doing you any good."

Ling Xiao was noncommittal, but he didn't deny it, which meant that Lu Chun was right.

Naturally, Ling Xiao would not do things that are not beneficial and deceiving.

Lu Chun then picked up the gourd and took a sip of wine, his eyes became even more drunk and hazy: "So I will make a cruel bet to see what kind of tricks you kid is playing... If it doesn't work, I will take Cheng Tong away Brother Xian and Shi Yu are enough."

Ling Xiao snorted softly: "Didn't you not see the battle yesterday? If that old man Zhang really becomes arrogant, can you save them?"

Lu Chun laughed dryly: "If you don't show up, they won't do anything. Although the Xihe Chamber of Commerce is barbaric, it also pays attention to solid evidence for the shops here. Otherwise, no one would dare to come here to do business, and the Chamber of Commerce would not It's not worth much."

Ling Chengtong didn't expect that Ling Xiao and Lu Chun had prepared so many hands without him knowing, and the impression of Ling Xiao in his heart had changed a lot.

At first he thought that Ling Xiao was just a gangster who abducted ignorant girls, but then he found out that Ling Xiao still had some real skills. In the end, his impression of Ling Xiao was only four words: unfathomable.

Whether it is strength or scheming.

People like this, with Ling Chengtong's personality, naturally keep him at a respectful distance, and he doesn't want his daughter to have any contact with Ling Xiao.

After this meal, Ling Xiao will go to the Xihe Chamber of Commerce tomorrow, and Ling Chengtong will feel more at ease.

"Don't worry that I will implicate Chengtong Company." Ling Xiao said very directly: "The purpose of my hiding in Xihe Chamber of Commerce is to stay away from you, Uncle Ling, you can rest assured."

Ling Chengtong was horrified: This kid actually has the ability to read people's hearts!

Ling Xiao still had a calm face, drinking the wine prepared by Ling Chengtong and eating the steaming dishes, as calm as their son-in-law.

Except for Ling Xiao himself, no one knows what kind of past he has.

The soul of the entire Yaotian Continent has been sucked away by him, and he has experienced their various lives. At this time, Ling Xiao is more like a ten thousand-year-old demon who has experienced many vicissitudes.

How could Ling Xiao not see Ling Chengtong's expression and intentions?

Soon, Ling Xiao ate up all the dishes, nothing else, because he was hungry.

The three looked at Ling Xiao who stood up in surprise, not knowing what he wanted to do.

Later, they saw Ling Xiao pick up the wine glass and toasted Ling Chengtong: "Thank you, Uncle Ling, for your hospitality."

After gulping it down, Ling Xiao offered another glass of wine to Lu Chun: "They are all good wine drinkers, so I won't say much else. If we can live, we will find more opportunities to drink in the future."

For the third cup, Ling Xiao naturally respected Ling Shiyu: "Girl, thank you for showing me the way. In a word, you are mine. If you have any troubles, you can come to me."

Leaving aside such a sentence that made Ling Chengtong's face turn black, Ling Xiao walked away without looking back.

Looking at Ling Xiao's back, Ling Shiyu felt particularly uncomfortable.

That back view is so lonely...

Lu Chun hiccupped and murmured to himself, half drunk, "Such a kid won't be able to stay for long in a small place like Xihe City, hehe..."

Ling Xiao came to the Xihe Chamber of Commerce overnight. Unexpectedly, the Xihe Chamber of Commerce was still brightly lit at this time, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going, making it very lively.

The entire Chamber of Commerce is like a huge castle, located in the north of Xihe City, occupying one-third of the territory of Xihe City.

As soon as they reached the entrance of the chamber of commerce, two young and beautiful women with scantily clad clothes and great figure bent towards Ling Xiao with a smile: "Welcome your Excellency to come to the Xihe chamber of commerce. The president is waiting for you on the top floor."

Even these two girls knew her and knew that she was the one the president wanted to wait for, Ling Xiao couldn't help being a little surprised, and then smiled.

If the Xihe Chamber of Commerce can't even do such a small thing, then it is a question of whether it is worth Ling Xiao's stay here.

And if Ling Xiao asked those two women questions that they shouldn't have asked just now like a bumpkin, then it is also a question of whether he is worth the win of the Xihe Chamber of Commerce.

So Ling Xiao directly chose not to ask, and walked into the Xihe Chamber of Commerce in an open and honest manner.

The hall of the chamber of commerce is resplendent and magnificent, as bright as daylight.

Ling Xiao glanced at it for a while, and found that the counters here were the same as the shops outside, but the counters here were more than ten times larger than the shops outside, and the items sold were naturally much more precious.

Not to mention anything else, the chain soul masters who come here to trade are obviously much better than the bumpkins in the shops outside, and they are rich people at a glance.

Ling Xiao went up the white jade steps to the second floor. The counters on the second floor are the same as those on the first floor, the difference is the preciousness of the items sold.

There are fewer people on the second floor than on the first floor, and there are two women who are more gorgeous and more revealing than the two girls at the door guarding the stairs, presumably to judge the financial resources of the guests.

The higher you go, the fewer guests there are, and the more gorgeous the clothes of the girl guarding the door. Of course, on the last floor, the two girls don't wear anything except the three-point style.

Of course, that beauty is absolutely unique, it's just a little worse than her own Tang Yingying, but her body development is obviously much better than Tang Yingying's.

I really don't know what happened to that girl, she looks like a thirteen-year-old girl at the age of sixteen, she hasn't changed at all. If people who don't know the truth see it, they will think that they have that bad habit.

Ling Xiao shook her head again and again, forcing herself not to think about that girl.

On the top floor there was a red door that was ajar, before Ling Xiaochao reached the door, he paused gracefully: "Excuse me, may I come in?"

"Yes." A woman's voice came from the door, Ling Xiao smiled slightly, and stepped in very casually.

As soon as Ling Xiao stepped in, the red door automatically closed with a bang.

Ling Xiao stepped on the aristocratic red carpet, looking at the end of the red carpet in a good mood.

At the end of the red carpet, the veiled woman in white was sitting on a chair covered with some kind of animal skin, looking calmly at Ling Xiao who was walking towards her with her beautiful eyes.

When Ling Xiao walked ten steps in front of this woman who made Xihe City fearful, he stopped, smiled and saluted her: "I have met the president."

In the empty hall, there were only Ling Xiao and the woman in white. If it was any other man, he would definitely be distracted.

And Ling Xiao was not another man, so he immediately became distracted and lustful.

His eyes looked up and down at this woman with excellent figure, although she couldn't see the face, just this figure and those beautiful red phoenix eyes were enough for Ling Xiao to have a wild imagination.

"Am I pretty?" The woman in white asked suddenly.

"Hmm..." Ling Xiao answered subconsciously at first, then immediately realized her impoliteness, and immediately laughed twice: "Hehe..."

The woman thought that Ling Xiao would be honest for a while, but Ling Xiao then said: "It would be even better if I could see the face."

The woman gave Ling Xiao a mocking look, her eyes were full of teasing: "Are you sure?"

Ling Xiao nodded very seriously: "I'm sure."

"There's a price to pay, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay it." The woman's tone suddenly became cold again, appearing quite moody.

If it was someone else, they would definitely feel the cold killing intent in this woman's words, and would no longer dare to be presumptuous.

But Ling Xiao, who has experienced the destruction of Yaotian Continent, has seen through many things, so why would he care about the coercion of the other party?

If the other party wanted to kill him, he would have killed him a long time ago. If he didn't kill him, it meant that there was still value to be used. As long as the real bottom line was not touched, Ling Xiao naturally believed that the other party would not kill him.

"As long as it's not at the cost of my life, I'm willing." Ling Xiao nodded solemnly.

"Even if it's a lifetime of freedom?" The woman was shocked by Ling Xiao's unwavering "sex" heart, and her tone was less teasing and more surprised.

Ling Xiao smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter..."

In Ling Xiao's voice of "it doesn't matter", the woman slowly took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face.

With a round face, a straight nose bridge, a delicate small mouth, every part of the facial features is the most beautiful, and the matching is just right. Such an appearance is definitely rare in the world.

It's just that on this beautiful face, there is a scar nearly thirty centimeters long, hanging like a centipede in the middle of the round face on the right, completely destroying the beauty of the whole face.

Ling Xiao sighed faintly: "It's a pity..."

The woman didn't put on her veil, but stood up from her seat, staring straight at Ling Xiao: "Satisfied?"

Ling Xiao shook her head: "Not satisfied, if I can see the face with that scar removed, I will be truly satisfied."

The woman returned to her cold tone: "This is also the price I made you pay for it. If you can't get rid of this scar, you will never want to leave Xihe City in your life."

Ling Xiao was not surprised at this seemingly terrible price, and slowly stretched out three fingers of his left hand: "I, Ling Xiao, swear in the name of my soul, if I can't cure Miss Long's face in this life, Keeping it in custody made me die a terrible death, and my soul flew away!"
