“Only this broken sword, Master Zhang?”

Qin Ya walked over to Zhang Ruochen. Her body almost stuck to him, giving off a charming fragrance.

Zhang Ruochen recovered from the thoughts of his previous life. The moment that he raised his head, he saw a large patch of white skin on Qin Ya’s chest. Although she was wearing her clothes properly, it still seemed very enchanting.

He immediately closed his eyes and held his breath a bit. His heart was pounding. He pinched his fingertips at once and forced himself to look at the sword on the wall.

Pulling himself together, Zhang Ruochen pointed at a royal blue sword and asked, “Hostess, which level of Genuine Martial Arms is this sword?”

Qin Ya looked a little disappointed and said, “That’s a fourth-level Genuine Martial Arm called the Flash Shining Sword. There are 14 inscriptions on it: four Inscriptions of Power, four Inscriptions of Ice, four Inscriptions of Electricity, and two Inscriptions of Light. In other words, it has three special attributes: ice series, electricity series, and light series.”

Generally speaking, there would only be one inscription on a first-level Genuine Martial Arm.

Only swords with over 10 inscriptions could be considered fourth-level Genuine Martial Arms.

Whenever an inscription was added, specific powers would be added to an extent. The more interesting thing was that according to the different nature of the inscriptions, the Genuine Martial Arms would have different properties that suited individual warriors.

For example, a warrior with the Blaze Sacred Mark had a blast of flame gas in their Genuine Qi. Thus, when they used the fire series of Genuine Martial Arm, they could unleash a stronger power of the arm.

“How much?” asked Zhang Ruochen.

“30,000 silver coins,” Qin Ya said.

“Alright! I’ll take it,” he excitedly said.

Zhang Ruochen took the Flash Shining Sword in one hand and the Abyss Ancient Sword in the other and quickly fled out of the armory.

Staying alone with that enchanting hostess was too dangerous, even for Zhang Ruochen.

After all, he had found the Abyss Ancient Sword and bought a random Genuine Martial Arm, which was all that he needed.

“What a quick getaway… Haha! But, it won’t be that easy to run away from me again! The future will be interesting when we meet again.”

Qin Ya smiled. She became even more interested in Zhang Ruochen.

…

When Zhang Ruochen and Qin Ya had entered the weapons warehouse before, there was a man and a woman led by an old shopkeeper from Qingxuan Pavilion approaching the warehouse’s doorway.

They seemed quite respected, even the old shopkeeper had to bow and smile with flattery.

The young man was Zhang Ruochen’s eighth brother, the Eighth Prince of the Yunwu Commandery, Zhang Ji.

The young woman with Zhang Ji was one of the four young beauties of the Yunwu Commandery, Master of the Red Cloud Sect’s daughter, Shan Xiangling.

Shan Xiangling’s temperament was outstanding, as pure and fresh as a lily. She was about 16 or 17, with bright eyes and a nice figure. Wherever she went, she was the most attractive girl.

The Eighth Prince smiled and said, “My mother told me that this is your first time to Yunwu City, so I must take good care of you. Qingxuan Pavilion is one of the biggest shops in the Martial Market. My junior sister apprentice, if you take a fancy to any weapon, do let me know.”

The Eighth Prince’s mother, Concubine Xiao, was a student of the Red Cloud Sect. She was also the junior sister apprentice of Master of the Red Cloud Sect.

Therefore, the Eighth Prince called Shan Xiangling his junior sister apprentice as well.

Shan Xiangling gently smiled and said, “Thank you! However, the main purpose of my time in Yunwu City is to meet some geniuses, especially the top genius, the Seventh Prince. I have heard about him many times and greatly admire him, like many other girls in the Red Cloud Sect. But it’s so hard to even catch a glimpse of him.”

The Eighth Prince said, “If he was here, I could introduce you to him. Unfortunately, my seventh brother is not currently in Yunwu City.”

Shan Xiangling looked a little disappointed and said, “If I remember correctly, the Year-end Assessment is the second biggest pageant after the Ceremony of Worship. Won’t the Seventh Prince be here for the pageant?”

The Eighth Prince laughed and said, “My seventh brother already got first place in the Year-end Assessment when he was only 10 years old. It doesn’t make sense for him now. However, the Year-end Assessment is a big competition, where only young men from the Royal Family and noble families who are under 20 are allowed to participate. Perhaps my seventh brother will come back. If you want to watch it, I can get you a ticket.”

“Thank you again,” said Shan Xiangling with a smile.

While the Eighth Prince and Shan Xiangling were talking, the old shopkeeper walked up to Han Zi and asked, “Han Zi, who is in the warehouse now? Why is the gate closed?”

Han Zi gave him a strange look and whispered, “The hostess and a young man.”

Hearing this, the old shopkeeper gasped in astonishment and said to himself, “Oh, the hostess… don’t make anyone die!”

The Eighth Prince and Shan Xiangling also heard what the shopkeeper said.

In an astonished voice, Shan Xiangling asked the shopkeeper, “Does the hostess here kill customers for money?”

The Eighth Prince shook his head and said, “No! There are just some rumors about the hostess. Rumor has it that the hostess is so extremely beautiful that any man seeing her will fall for her.”

“There’s also hearsay that the hostess is cruel and merciless. Many men have died by her hands.”

“What’s more, it’s said that she is very licentious and had kept many men. She is also a sadist. Many men had their hands cut off and their eyes
