Chapter 55: Behaving Like A Rogue
Translator: Novel_Saga Editor: Novel_Saga
She finally understood what was happening. It had turned out that Jun Mo Xie was also after the Meteoric Iron. However, he was worried that she would buy the iron first. Thus, he had proposed to pay for it. And now that the payment was done, he had actually wanted to just give her a block of ordinary Tempered Steel Iron.
Scrap iron? Why don’t you try to find me a few of these scrap iron?
This despicable Jun Mo Xie! By having the excuse of paying for the iron, he tricked me to gain possession of the Meteoric Iron!
It just so happened that she was also not thinking clearly at the moment and didn’t mention what iron she wanted, which was why he was able to trick her…
“Jun Mo Xie!!” Dugu Xiao Yi screamed, her pretty eyes bulging out widely. “Do you wish to die?”
“A false accusation,” Jun Mo Xie spread out his arms as he shrugged, a hint of innocent roguishness present on his face. “What are you talking about, Miss Dugu? Of these two, I have already given you the bigger one, what more do you want? You had wanted to buy iron, and I have graciously bought it for you. And yet, you are able to curse at me… you… you are being too unjust towards me!”
“You! …good… very good! Jun Mo Xie, you sure have guts! If you ever end up in my hands. I… I will never forgive you!”
Dugu Xiao Yi bit her plump lips as her whole body trembled as her chest rose up and down. She was angered to the point of tears. Tears appeared in the corner of her eyes before finally falling down.
Jun Mo Xie felt rather awkward. In the first place, Dugu Xiao Yi was the one who had wanted to buy the iron. But he had used an tricked a little girl into giving him the iron which simply felt wrong. He tried to comfort her.
“What are you crying for? How about this? When I have started forging my weapon, I will make a precious blade for you as well. After that, I will send it straight to your residence. So, let us just call it even, all right?”… Although Jun Mo Xie was a man of many talents, comforting women was definitely not one of his.
“Who wants your stinky blade?” Dugu Xiao Yi did not know that Jun Mo Xie was actually making a real promise to her and merely thought that he was ridiculing her. She finally broke down in tears, her heart full of grief. “This iron was obviously mine in the first place…”
Truthfully, Dugu Xiao Yi was not crying due to the loss of the Meteoric Iron. Even though the Meteoric Iron was something rare, it was honestly not too difficult to obtain considering the power and influence of the Dugu Family.
The real reason she was crying was that of Jun Mo Xie’s detestable actions. Putting on the airs of a debauchee, he had interrupted her in the midst of her purchase, then tricking her by offering to pay for it. He had also made her feel confused over her opinion about him and once everything was said and done, he ended up offering a piece of trash to her! To add insult to injury, he even put on a pious expression as he said.
‘You want the big one and I want the small one… How can size be used to value this type of item?’
Of course, the biggest reason was that she had ended up falling for his trick. She herself became confused after seeing his pretentious portrayal of a debauchee and ended up being fooled by him…
Beads of tears fell down her face, signifying just how heartbroken Dugu Xiao Yi was feeling. She looked at Jun Mo Xie who was standing there like a wooden pole.
He is not even bothering to comfort me!
This made Dugu Xiao Yi even sadder, which turned her silent cry into her bawling her eyes out.
“Urgh, stop crying already, your face becomes twisted up when you cry and it end up becoming ugly!” Jun Mo Xie frowned, his eyes squinting. Apparently, this was how he intended to console her.
“I want to cry! I don’t need you to care! You… you… wuwuwu… who did you say is ugly?!”
The word ‘ugly’ was definitely a taboo word for girls. There were many things in this world which could be endured and there were also things which could never be endured! Dugu Xiao Yi suddenly stopped crying, her glare like fire straight onto Jun Mo Xie.
In an instant, anger rose up from within the depths of her heart and from the anger came an extreme loathing. She caught hold of Jun Mo Xie’s arm, opened up her small mouth and bit down hard on Jun Mo Xie’s arm. After biting his arm, she continued crying.
“Ow! Ow!…” Jun Mo Xie’s facial muscles twitched as he gritted his teeth, hissing. “I… Fuck!”
Dugu Xiao Yi continued staring at him with eyes filled with tears as she gave a small sob. “You… what did you just say?” She did not hear it clearly. Jun Mo Xie spread his arms as he gritted his teeth in pain. Dugu Xiao Yi then continued sobbing.
Jun Mo Xie scratched his head, shrugged his shoulders and was unable to think of any solution.
In his previous life, Jun Mo Xie was a killer and did not have any romantic encounters. If there were any complications, they were usually solved by using money… Once his job was completed, he would then have nothing to do with the client, parting ways without forming any sort of relations.
He has absolutely no understanding of the heart of females and no knowledge on how to pacify females. Thus, after observing Dugu Xiao Yi’s cries he did not even bother to attempt at consoling her. For he had already given up in putting any effort into doing so! If you want to cry, then just continue to do so!.
Crouching on the ground, he carefully checked the quality of the Meteoric Iron. The longer he inspected it, the more satisfied he felt. He then used his hands to lift it up. Even though it was only slightly larger than a basketball, it had close to a hundred and twenty kilograms. He gave two chuckles, extremely satisfied.
If this block of Meteoric Iron were used to forge his flying daggers, they would be indestructible! He had found a real treasure this time, even though his method of obtaining it was rather underhanded…
As he was feeling intoxicated from happiness, his buttocks suddenly felt pain, as though his ass had just slammed into the Meteoric Iron. Only to hear Dugu Xiao Yi’s sobbing sound as she quickly ran out, leaving a string of tears on the ground…
It turned out that after she had seen Jun Mo Xie completely ignore her, turning around to inspect the Meteoric Iron, Dugu Xiao Yi felt even more wrong. She fiercely kicked his ass once before running away while crying…
Gently touching his ass, Jun Mo Xie became annoyed. Seeing that Dugu Xiao Yi had already left, Jun Mo Xie took a deep breath and mumbled under his breath.
Screw your mother, you little girl! If you ever fall into my hands, I will show you what I can do…”
In fact, even though the strength of Jun Mo Xie was nowhere near Dugu Xiao Yi’s, in a fight to the death, Dugu Xiao Yi who had very few combat experience was no match for Jun Mo Xie!
But this was also why there was a problem. In his previous life, Jun Mo Xie had only trained with two things in mind, being the fastest and most ruthless, in killing, each one of his technique was meant to kill his opponent! Even when he was training with his acquaintances! Thus, when fighting normally, Jun Mo Xie was simply unable to fight with his full strength, making the situation not so optimistic for him.
Once in his past life, some of Jun Mo Xie’s martial brothers had requested him to give some pointers through a spar. He replied. “Do not ask me for pointers, fighting is something I do not know how to do; killing is all I know!”
How could he engage in a battle of life and death against Dugu Xiao Yi? Be it her family background or her temper, neither one was something that would allow Jun Mo Xie to kill Dugu Xiao Yi! In addition, she was well-known as the ‘Nemesis of Debauchees’, which was evidence of her extreme character. Besides, everything could have been blamed on the fact that the original Jun Mo Xie was too much of a bastard.
Straightening himself, he turned towards the shopkeeper and asked. “Boss, if this piece of Meteoric Iron is to be handed to your shop for weapon forging, how many times can you refine it?”
The old shopkeeper contemplated momentarily before replying. “My humble shop had once had the opportunity to work with this type of Meteoric Iron. After getting rid of the impurity, my shop could continue tempering up to three times. The finished product had traces of circling wind clouds upon its surface, discharging a chilling aura. If utilized in making a sword, then the sword would be extremely sharp!”
“Was it able to cut iron like butter?” Jun Mo Xie asked.
“No!” The old shopkeeper gave a slight smirk as he simply answered.
Cutting through iron like butter? This little brat has been listening to too many legends.
“If that is the case, why do you even bother calling yourself the Divine Weapons Store? What kind of divine weapons will be unable to cut through iron like butter?” Jun Mo Xie stared at him with a gaze that gave off a feeling of being cheated.
The old shopkeeper suddenly felt the urge to turn upwards to shout the words ‘Injustice!’.
“Young Master, I am afraid there has been a misunderstanding. The so-called cutting through iron like butter… that only occurs in divine weapons in the legends. Besides, even if a weapon is a genuine Divine Weapon, only a capable wielder would be able to do it. As for a divine weapon that can is able to do so even when wielded by an average person; there is none in the whole world.”
“Oh? Your words are quite logical!” Jun Mo Xie suddenly recalled the phrase, ‘when true mastery is attained, even a blade of grass could become a sword.’ He could not help but shake his head.
What utter nonsense! If i have such a mastery of the weapon, why would I even bother to get a sharp sword? I want a sharp sword because my level of strength had yet to reach a satisfactory level.
“Never mind then, I will think of something else,” Jun Mo Xie sighed. “Please send these materials to the Jun Residence.”
It turned out this one was from the Jun Family! No wonder he was so prodigal! The old shopkeeper easily promised as he wiped his sweat, but rejoicing in his heart. Even though this Young Master was a prodigal debauchee, at least all of his demands were reasonable.
Since you want to handle it yourself, that would be for the best. Only, what a pity! Pity for this Meteoric Iron. As for that legendary divine weapon, there is none in this world! Asking me to forge out something like that would kill me!
Watching Jun Mo Xie’s back as he left, the old shopkeeper heart gave a slanderous thought.
Do you want to forge a sword with just you, this debauchee? If you can truly forge one out, this senior will use my legs to walk. I will instead crawl everywhere I go!
