Chapter 1541: Chapter 1386: East Mountain Black Tiger (Two in One)

"Old sir, you’re really lucky, another cock egg!"

Su Ran once again arrived at Old Man Fan’s home and happened to see him squatting down to pick eggs from the chicken nest. She greeted him with a familiar tone and a smile, but as soon as she finished speaking, even she felt something was off. Wasn’t this deliberately undercutting the poor guy?

"Ahem."

Seeing Su Ran’s arrival, Old Man Fan felt a bit embarrassed. He knew if he were stubborn about it, it would only become a joke. Sighing, he said, "Lad, there’s no need to mock me. I’m just trying to make a living out of necessity..."

"Old sir, I understand. I mean no mockery, I just mentioned it casually. If you find it offensive, consider I never said anything."

Su Ran had things to ask of this NPC; she couldn’t afford to sour the relationship. To save time, she went straight to the point, speaking earnestly, "Old sir, back at the stall, I remember you mentioned the whisker of the East Mountain Black Tiger. Could you show it to me?"

"What do you want that whisker for?"

Old Man Fan put the egg into his pocket and chuckled, "Did Wang Heizi send you on a task? That lad begged me for half a month, I didn’t sell it to him, and he’s still not giving up, sending you to buy it? Tell him, without 500 fairy coins, don’t even think about it!"

fairy coins again?

Su Ran was speechless, realizing the task she took on was a losing deal: spend 500 for a reward of 100 fairy coins, who does business like this?

Pfft, happy for nothing!

It proved that tasks from merchants should not be taken. Dealing with them, don’t expect any bargain!

Helpless, now that she took on the task, she had to complete it, and she needed to find a breakthrough with Old Man Fan.

"Old sir, don’t be so..."

"Cut the nonsense, pay up if you have money, no money, no talk!"

Before Su Ran could finish, Old Man Fan bluntly interrupted her. It seemed he harbored no small grudge against Wang Heizi, his tone turning somewhat unfriendly.

"Respect the monk for the Buddha’s sake, for my face..."

"You have face?"

"True that, haha, old sir, goodbye. I’ll come back when I’ve gathered the money, dog’s honor!"

Su Ran admitted defeat. With such an unyielding NPC, there was no reasoning at all. She hurriedly left the place.

Watching Su Ran’s retreating figure, Old Man Fan gave a cold laugh: "Human, since you’ve chosen this dead-end path, it’s not others to blame!"

"The Fire God Trial..."

"Is there even a god in this world? How laughable!"

...

"Really thought I can’t complete the task if you don’t sell it to me?"

Su Ran grumbled indignantly, "Worst case, I’ll find that black tiger myself and pluck a whisker!"

However, Su Ran faced a new problem: where exactly was East Mountain? In this space, there wasn’t even a mountain in sight!

Was it really going to be as hard as going through eighty-one trials? freeweɓnøvel.com

That’s right!

I just bribed two guards, should ask them—it’s perfect!

"Sirs, you two sirs!"

Su Ran’s voice reached the two guards’ ears even before she arrived at the city gate.

"Hey, human warrior, what good stuff have you brought for us brothers this time?"

Now, when those two guards saw Su Ran, they looked as if they had seen the God of Wealth. They could even give away their precious warm clothes, surely big spenders!

"It’s embarrassing to say, but I was planning to bring some gifts for you two sirs. Regrettably, I was in a hurry and didn’t prepare anything. Please excuse me."

Su Ran was somewhat speechless; she just gave them warm clothes, and now they wanted more gifts—it was pure greed!

"It’s all right, no worries, we brothers were just joking, don’t take it seriously."

The guards laughed heartily, "Spit it out, what problem have you run into?"

"You have good eyesight, sirs, I indeed have a request,"

Su Ran straightforwardly stated her purpose, "Are there any places known as East Mountain near this city of the Fire God?"

"East Mountain? What are you going there for? It is a dangerous place, just a little carelessness, and you could lose your life there!"

Upon hearing ’East Mountain,’ the guard’s face changed instantly, strongly dissuading Su Ran from adventuring to that place.

"Wow, is it that serious?"

Su Ran was startled but then thought, wait, Old Man Fan is so weak, yet he got the black tiger’s whisker. Why can’t I do the same?

In terms of stealth, Su Ran considered herself second to none. With the ability to become invisible, Unsealing, and invincible Magic Technique, she dared to venture even into hell!

With that thought, she looked at the two NPCs and said firmly, "Sirs, this is related to my trial mission. There’s no evasion. I must go to East Mountain."

"The Fire God Trial, there it is again..."

"Shut your mouth!"

The other guard silenced the conversation about the Fire God Trial, his expression turning incredibly serious. "What should be said and what shouldn’t, I don’t need to remind you!"

"Heh, thanks, almost made a big mistake!"

The guard seemed to recall something, turning a bit pale, "Human warrior, since you have made your choice, then I will tell you the way to East Mountain."

"Leave the city of the Fire God and head southeast, keep going, and you will find a teleportation formation. That is the only path to East Mountain."

"Sirs, may I ask, that black tiger, it’s on East Mountain, right?"

Su Ran double-checked anxiously; it would be awkward if she went all that way and couldn’t even catch a glimpse of the black tiger.
