The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World novel Chapter 426

426 /428

Chu Xuan was in the middle of packing up his stall when he felt the unmistakable gaze of the two talisman makers watching him from behind. Despite his casual demeanor, his soul strength far exceeded that of most Nascent Soul cultivators, making it nearly impossible for him not to sense their scrutiny.

"It's normal to attract envy when one earns too much," he mused internally, shaking his head slightly. "But of all people, why must it be me?"

He quickly gathered his belongings and was about to leave. After all, it was a bit of a "blessing" to have people willingly deliver themselves to his doorstep. However, just as he was about to make his exit, a soft voice called out to him, "Senior!"

Chu Xuan turned around to see the Golden Core female cultivator who had almost been forced into the sea by him earlier.

"What is it?" he asked casually.

The female cultivator lowered her voice, "I saw the two talisman makers from Black Wind Island watching you from behind just now. It seems they're plotting something. They might try to make a move against you. You should be careful when you leave Desolate Island."

Chu Xuan couldn't help but chuckle softly at her warning. He looked at her again, sizing her up more carefully. She had a pleasant expression, certainly above average in appearance. The only feature that truly stood out were her long, well-toned legs, which were undeniably striking.

"What's your name?" he asked, his tone still nonchalant.

The female cultivator's face lit up, eager to answer, "My name is Chen Xin, I'm from Rocky Peak Island. May I ask for your honorable name, senior?"

"I am Liu Zhenxiaong," Chu Xuan nodded, his eyes already moving past her.

He could tell that this woman probably thought his ability to trade demon soul talismans meant he had some real strength. That's why she had decided to warn him.

He recognized the type—sharp and calculating, always looking for an opportunity to gain something. Chu Xuan had encountered plenty of such people before, so he saw right through her intentions.

Chen Xin flashed a smile and continued, "I have a third uncle who is also a Nascent Soul cultivator. He's about to leave Desolate Island. He is a Nascent Soul Seventh Layer cultivator and specializes in escorting people from Desolate Island back to Moon Island. Since a Nascent Soul late-stage cultivator is guarding him, the people from Black Wind Island won't dare make a move. If Senior doesn't mind, you could board my third uncle's ship, and we can leave together. It would also be a form of protection."

Chen Xin grinned, adding, "For Golden Core cultivators, the price is only fifty medium spiritual stones. If you're willing to offer a higher price, we can provide better and safer services."

Chu Xuan couldn't help but chuckle again. So it was all just a business deal. It was to be expected. After all, with so many powerful cultivators around, one could easily be devoured if not careful.

Chu Xuan looked at her, amused. "I see. You're offering me a ride, aren't you?"

Chen Xin smiled innocently, but there was a glint of calculation in her eyes. "Of course, Senior. Consider it a small favor from me."

He paused for a moment, considering her offer. "How much are you charging for the 'better and safer' services?"

Chen Xin's smile grew wider, clearly sensing that her hustle was working. "Well, if you want a private escort and some added security, we could go up to one hundred spiritual stones."

Chu Xuan couldn't help but shake his head, still smiling. "How about this, you go ahead and make arrangements, and I'll think about it. I might even take you up on your offer."

Chen Xin nodded eagerly, clearly pleased that Chu Xuan had shown some interest.

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

"Of course, Senior! I'll make the arrangements immediately!"

As she scurried off, Chu Xuan couldn't help but muse, "Well, at least this won't be a boring trip."

Golden Core cultivators banding together for safety was quite normal, but...

Chu Xuan was about to decline the offer when suddenly, a figure walked quickly toward them. "Xin'er, why haven't you left yet?"

Chu Xuan turned his gaze to see a middle-aged cultivator, plump and slightly bloated, walking toward them. As soon as the middle-aged man saw Chu Xuan, he immediately sensed the Nascent Soul aura around him and cupped his hands respectfully. "I am Chen Huozhao. May I ask who this esteemed fellow daoist is?"

Chu Xuan had already thought of a fake name. He smiled faintly and replied, "Liu Zhenxiong."

Chen Huozhao immediately broke into a smile, "Ah, so it's Fellow Daoist Liu. A pleasure to meet you. I was just admiring your sale of the demon soul talismans earlier—impressive!"
