Trafford’s Trading Club

The small interlude didn’t establish a common bond between Su Zijun and Luo Qiu. On the contrary, it made her feel even more afraid of the club owner. She said nothing to Luo Qiu all the way to the destination.

Nowadays, Luo Qiu was accustomed to awkward atmospheres thus he paid more attention to the scenery of the deep sea. This was probably because he was good at finding entertainment for himself.

“Over here.” Su Zijun stopped at a place which was filled with lesser bones. She did not explain anything and merely closed her eyes, with her hands preparing to open the tomb directly.

Luo Qiu saw that there were about twelve black pillars stretching from the bottom of mud surrounding Su Zijun and himself—the tips of pillars were cone-shaped. These pillars were inclining toward the center and combined together finally with their cones. Suddenly, a colorful light shot from the highest combined point into the muddy ground which Luo Qiu and Su Zijun stood on.

The mud rotated, forming a vortex slowly. “Come on.” Su Zijun said to Luo Qiu, and then stepped into the vortex, falling down. Luo Qiu followed her.

…

They entered into a dark red space that seemed to have no end—because this was not a traditional space that had a round sky and a square earth. It was more like a huge…globe.

Luo Qiu and Su Zijun were standing at the center of the globe surrounded by all kinds of shining balls—which were the evil spirits of the marine monsters.

Seven hundred years ago, plenty of marine monsters died here. They were transformed into evil spirits because of dark malice. This was the reason why a burial mound was formed her after the battle… the most interesting was that Luo Qiu found it was something similar to the ‘Border Gate’ when Su Zijun opened the burial mound. In other words, the twelve black pillars had the same techniques as the ‘Border Gate’.

“Miss. Zijun, did you create the mound?” Luo Qiu was glancing at the floating evil ghosts. They had spent seven hundred years here with no connection from the outside, which resulted in an assimilation. There were thirty thousand evil ghosts here… a huge number.

“This is an ancient technique which only I can use and open the burial mound.” Su Zijun looked at Luo Qiu, “Any questions?”

“Is that the technique from the Royal Xuanyuan Family?” Luo Qiu asked.

Su Zijun was shocked and frowned, “Is this technique also able to be used as a transaction in your club?”

Luo Qiu was stunned… He was rarely stunned, but Su Zijun interrupted his thoughts after all. This answer from Su Zijun was not the one he wanted…

He shook his head, “Of course not. But this does not mean that the technique cannot be regarded as a transaction fee. It can be one on the condition that it was created by the customer. However, this technique was invented by us.”

Su Zijun suddenly became angry, “Ridiculous! The Roal Xuanyuan Family would never deal with… you guys.”

“Miss. Zijun?”

Luo Qiu called out her name in a low voice. Su Zijun, who was here to pay the transaction fee, fell silent… and snorted, “I am different.”

Luo Qiu smiled, “Of course, the technique has been improved a lot… well done.”

“Do you still want your fee?”

Luo Qiu turned back with his hands waving. Twenty-two thousand evil spirits flew toward his hand, like a big hole swallowing many ghosts inside.

He closed his hands, “Miss. Zijun, thank you for your help. I have absorbed twenty-two thousand ghosts already. ”

Su Zijun had a complex expression on her face.

At the same time, the rest of the evil spirits were crazily spinning around them in the dark red space. These ghosts combined into a huge vortex, showing the face of a roaring beast!

Luo Qiu was looking at the vortex in amusement, but Su Zijun snorted, “You still do not repent after seven hundred years. Fine, then be trapped here for another seven hundred years.”

After she spoke, a red light shone in her eyes. The whole space was filled with many roars… of unwillingness.

The vortex was fading slowly. The evil spirits return back to their own floating position one by one. Actually, Su Zijun had the absolute right to command these spirits… as every spirit here had a mark which could only be controlled by Su Zijun. So, Su Zijun didn’t fear their rebellion. Of course her expression turned complex when Luo Qiu absorbed those ghosts since the marks would be gone at the moment Luo Qiu took the spirits away.

It was a big project to build the burial mound, which took enormous manpower and resources along with the help of the Royal Xuanyuan Family.

But these twenty-two thousand evil spirits… twenty-two thousand marks were… unbelievable!

“There were still eight thousand evil spirits left.” Luo Qiu smiled, “Our club’s door is always open for Miss. Zijun any time you need.”

Su Zijun was sizing up Luo Qiu from head to toe and then asked, “Do you know… Penglai?”

Luo Qiu thought for a while, “Is that Penglai city in Shandong Province?”

“Why need I ask you if it was so simple?” Su Zijun couldn’t help getting angry… She didn’t know why she would feel the need to be angry whenever she saw him.

She was really angry when Luo Qiu stopped halfway and took photos. She was angrier when he said the two sets of bones were lovers that died together. Uncontrollable anger!

Su Zijun took a deep breathe, “Penglai was one of the oldest legends on the Kyushu earth! There were celestial beings in Penglai. Anyone could achieve their dreams if he or she found Penglai. I am asking you, can you open it?”

Anyone could achieve aspirations no matter who they were. Anyone could buy whatever he wanted, no matter who they were. Were these not a little similar?

…

Su Zijun looked at Luo Qiu nervously. But Luo Qiu didn’t say a word. They were looking at each other for a long time. Luo Qiu shook his head, “Miss. Zijun, I don’t know Penglai. But you can buy its info if you want… and I can also open it for you.”

“You can open it…” Su Zijun was excited, “How much!”

Luo Qiu looked around the burial mound and continued, “Taking the original thirty ghosts as a reference, multiply it by ten million. Then it should be enough.”

“Ten million…” Su Zijun raised her head suddenly, “That is…”

“One hundred million…one billion…” Su Zijun counted with fingers. She was angry, “Thirty billion ghosts? Are you kidding me? There weren’t that many monsters even in the peak of the ancient times, including the land monsters and marine monsters! It is impossible!”

“Miss. Zijun, it should be three hundred billion.”

Su Zijun… Su Zijun shouted angrily, “I am really sorry for my bad math!!!”

She was really! Angry!
