Trafford’s Trading Club - Chapter 521
The temporary rest of Gui Qianyi was the only good news to Long Xiruo.
However, it was awkward… because she had asked the shop owner to come here.
Thinking of the words and the look she expressed a minute before… the True Dragon started to regret.
‘Isn’t this guy usually talkative… why is he suddenly so silent?’
Long Xiruo was unwilling to speak first… should she say, ‘Since Gui Qianyi didn’t die, then you can leave!’
If so, Long Xiruo didn’t think the owner will do anything; however, the servant girl might take some action.

“Ms. Long, what else do you want to buy from our shop?” Luo Qiu suddenly said, “If not, let’s finish the conversation, alright?”
Long Xiruo gave a start, “Do you mean… it’s alright for me to buy nothing?”
“Of course.” Luo Qiu said indifferently, ” No matter whether our customers make a purchase or not, we won’t force them.”
“Is it because of my special identity?” Long Xiruo frowned.
“No, everyone is the same.” Luo Qiu gave her a certain answer.
Long Xiruo suddenly smiled bitterly, “I thought you’ll tempt lives to complete the deal with everything you can do.”
While Luo Qiu said, “Ms. Long, if everything is alright, I’ll leave now.”
Long Xiruo made a voice subconsciously, “Hold, hold on!”
“Anything else?” Luo Qiu looked back.
Long Xiruo asked embarrassedly, “How much should I pay to eliminate the toxin in Gui Qianyi and have him wake up now?”
The True Dragon kept telling herself, that it was just to let Gui Qianyi wake up earlier, instead of the weird and awkward emotion.
Luo Qiu said, “Do you have any treasures on you?”
“No, I don’t.” Long Xiruo shook her head— the True Dragon was not wealthy actually.
Luo Qiu nodded, “If so, then please give me a drop of your blood.”
“Only one drop?” Long Xiruo was surprised… it was a tiny price, so she thought she met a fake boss.
“Eliminating toxins isn’t a big deal.” Luo Qiu explained, “Mr. Gui will wake up in three days without our help.”
Long Xiruo suddenly understood the conversation between them before, and smiled bitterly, “I got it… it means the so-called consuming time right? We have to pay others for preventing time from passing… fine, please eliminate the toxin in Gui Qianyi.”
Luo Qiu walked to Gui Qianyi without saying any more. He squatted down, with his fingers pointed slightly at Gui Qianyi’s chest; then he raised his finger up.
Then, a pool of black liquid was pulled out through Gui Qianyi’s chest.
Luo Qiu waved his finger and the black liquid was thrown to the floor… like a strong acid, it corroded the floor with fizzing sound; then it turned into a puff of black smoke.
You Ye gave a handkerchief to Luo Qiu. Luo Qiu wiped his hands while saying, “Well, Ms. Long, I’ve delivered the thing you want.”
‘So fast…’ Thinking about her previous behavior, but ended up in this situation, Long Xiruo felt a bitter taste.
At the same time, she was more scared of this shop… what was it hiding behind this shop?
“Ms. Long, it’s time to pay the transaction fee.” The servant girl opened her mouth and said.
Long Xiruo gazed at You Ye, snorting, “Don’t worry, I won’t run away… wait for a second!”
But she lost her power of the true dragon, so it was not easy to get one drop of blood; hence, Long Xiruo had to put her finger into her mouth.
To bite her finger!
“It’s not necessary.” Luo Qiu smiled, “If there’s a wound on your body, it won’t get well so quickly.”
Boss Luo stretched out his hand before she reacted; Long Xiruo frowned, and gave him her hand. With hesitation, she put her hand on his.
“I am done.”
Luo Qiu released her hand the moment he touched it; when he opened hand, a drop of red blood with a faint golden and purple light appeared on her palm.
It was one drop of blood belonging to the True Dragon… Boss Luo easily got it.
It was not painful at all!
“Then, we’re looking forward to your next visit, dear Ms. Long.” Luo Qiu bowed slightly… so did the servant girl.
Long Xiruo frowned, many ideas spun in her brain— for example, asking about getting back her powers of the True Dragon.
But it faded soon… because she thought it was not so easy that it could be achieved with one or two drops of blood.
She could use her soul of the True Dragon to save Gui Qianyi… Just like the words Gui Qianyi said to Iron Whistle, everyone had their own wish and a side of selfishness.
But she could not use her true dragon’s soul for getting back her power.
“Wind!” Long Xiruo deeply breathed, “Wind! I know… Wind got something from you right? Or he would not disappear in front of Ghost Baby, and control others the next time he showed up!”
“Sorry, Ms. Long. As the rule of this shop, we cannot reveal anything not related to yourself.” Luo Qiu shook his head.
Long Xiruo said quickly, “Fine! I know Wind caught Shu Xiaoshu’s families and he may be around here. I want you to protect those who have been controlled and help Wind erase the demon in his heart! What’s the price?”
“To protect them?” Luo Qiu replied, “It’s easy, but it’ll be much more expensive than a drop of blood, if you want to eliminate the demon in his heart. Ms. Long, if you need our help, please pay a quarter of the essential blood of the True Dragon.”
The price was much more beyond Long Xiruo’s expectation. It was incredibly expensive!
“What’s the demon in Wind’s heart?” Long Xiruo frowned, “We speculate that he may be the last descendant of Xianji, or he…”
“Sorry, we cannot provide the information about this.” Luo Qiu shook his head.
“Then, what’s the goal of Wind?” Long Xiruo asked.
But Boss Luo closed his lips, as if he was ready to face such questions. He just looked at her with a faint smile on face.
“I understand, let me exchange my blood alright?” Long Xiruo glared at him, “You can’t demand a quarter of my essential blood just for me to know his goals, right?”
Once she knew her purpose, she could measure if it was worth paying her essential blood.
Since Gui Qianyi was fine, then she was no longer Long Er, but the True Dragon of the Godly Land… she had to consider things from a wider perspective.
The True Dragon was unique… but there were a lot of monsters.
However, the True Dragon ignored one thing… that she made a request again and again to the club.
It was a path that one could not return from.
“Since Ms. Long asks, then please pay 800ml of…”
Before the boss said the transaction fee, Gui Qianyi opened his eyes and said, “Master Long, think carefully!!”
Gui Qianyi’s voice suddenly woke Long Xiruo up, “Grandpa Gui… Gui Qianyi, you woke up.”
Gui Qianyi breathed deeply, standing up while holding his walking stick, “Time to wake up is a must at the end of every rest. I cannot move, but I regained my hearing… I heard the conversation between Master Long and…”
He glanced at this guy and was reminded of Xiang Liu that day. With a slight hint of fear, he said “And this gentleman. Master Long, I don’t think you need to buy anything, because I have the plan to solve it.”
“Sir, please go back.” Gui QIanyi deeply breathed again, speaking to Luo Qiu with a sense of fear, “Master Long won’t make deals with you.”
“Gui Qianyi, do you really have a solution?” Long Xiruo questioned confusedly.
Gui Qianyi nodded, “I can promise. If it doesn’t work, I can go die!”
“That’s not necessary.” Long Xiruo shook her head, “I trust in you.”
With the words, she looked at Boss Luo, “You heard that… just forget it.”
She thought the boss would be angry… or at least show an unpleasant look. But Boss Luo refreshed her perception.
“Then, we’re leaving.”
Boss Luo left after a smile and nod… without any unhappiness or anger.
…
“What a weird guy.”
After making sure that the two left, Long Xiruo murmured as looking at the direction they left… and was curious about him.
her opinion of him had changed.
“Have they left?” Gui Qianyi looked around with a nervous look.
Long Xiruo laughed, “What a scared old turtle you are! Shouldn’t you be awe-inspiring?”
Gui Qianyi swallowed saliva and said with hesitation, “Master Long, I’m sorry, your current situation might be caused by…”
Long Xiruo knew Gui Qianyi could see her through; she sighed and nodded, “My power has been sealed and I cannot even fight them… so I said you were really courageous just now.”
Gui Qianyi was shocked by her words… ‘Did I offend such a terrifying guy?’
“Stop, don’t shiver.” Long Xiruo shook her head, “That guy… that guy doesn’t bear grudges. He won’t hate an old turtle for such a mere trifle.”
But it was hard for Gui Qianyi to stop.
Long Xiruo shook her head, biting her fingernail while thinking about other things, “I paid one drop of blood to help you eliminate the toxin… but as for the goals of Wind, they asked… he said 800ml? That’s too much. What’s the real purpose of Wind… Gui Qianyi, do you really have a solution, instead of putting on an act?”
“I’m serious!” Gui Qianyi explained and inhaled, then he spat out a bead from his body.
“Why did you spit out this bead? You want to use that mysterious skill again?” Long Xiruo blew a fuse, “Gui Qianyi, don’t you know how much power and life you have left?”
“No, I didn’t mean that. Don’t worry.” Gui Qianyi smiled, “I’m not using the mysterious skill but to regain your power.”
“Excuse me?”
Gui Qianyi smiled, “Do you remember I asked for a drop of blood when I used the mysterious skill? Actually just by having Ghost Baby around could prevent me from being attacked by evils. The reason I asked for the blood, was just to use it at this moment!”
Gui Qianyi gave it to Long Xiruo, “You know where the bead comes from, and I just tell you the method for you to regain your power temporarily! It can imitate your look and posture by using your blood. Just hold it, and you can control the shadow it imitated to fight. But, the power of the true dragon is so enormous, the shadow it imitates can only have up to 30% of your normal power and will only last for 5 minutes! Master, you must seize the time!”
“Only 5 minutes?”
“Isn’t it enough for the fight with Wind? He’s young with weak power, 30% of your power should be much more than his.”
Gui Qianyi added while stroking his beard, “Master can catch Wind within 5 minutes. Grabbing him will be the solution to every problem. As for eliminating the demon in his heart… we can find some other ways slowly after imprisoning him. There should be some ways, such as washing his soul under the ground, expel it through medicines, etc.”
‘Remaining aware at the beginning and asking for a drop of blood… now it plays a significant role.’
Long Xiruo sighed and thought Gui Qianyi was really a wily old fox.
“Don’t be lazy, let’s get there!”
…
…
“Here is…”
Cheese looked at this place seriously… this was the place Wind brought him— one of the side venues of the gymnasium.
This place was used for indoor basketball.
And now Wind walked to the center of the court. He waved his hand, then Nini threw a football to him from afar.
Wind stepped on it, looking at Cheese with a sneer, “Let’s play here, Cheese! But before that, I have to tell you something interesting.”
“What… what are you going to do?” Cheese asked with resentment.
Wind patted his hands, Nini pushed a mobile cabinet covered with cloth from aside. She opened it, and six laptops were placed there.
Nini turned them on, while Cheese watched the scenes with rage; he howled to Wind, “Wind!! You go too far!! What will you do to my mother!”
In the screen, there were… Shu Xiaoshu, his brothers and sisters, as well as Xiaojiang!
There was a monster standing by them… these guys were holding daggers to their necks.
Wind ignored his howl, but laughed, “The rule is very easy! We will play a game! I’ll release one after each of your goal… You can choose who you want me to release. But on the other hand, if I score…”
Wind eyes reddened, looking at Cheese with a ferocious and terrible look, “…I’ll kill one, and you can choose!”
“Wind!!”
Cheese rushed to Wind, grasping his collar, “Let them go!! Let them go!!!”
“Are you going to kill me?” Wind said indifferently, “Sure, if you take actions… Why? Hit me.”
“Wind, please, let them go! No matter how you treat me, I just beg you to release them… Can you?” Cheese implored in a sorrowful tone.
“If you don’t want to, then let’s start the game.” Wind patted away Cheese’s hands, “If you don’t play, I have to kill all of them right now!”
Cheese immediately knelt down, with both hands pressed the floor; he looked down, and felt all energy had been pumped out… He felt this nightmare was too shocking.
But… to play, or not?
…
Outside the court, Nini watched it in dull look; she didn’t move, but tears dropped.
