Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 275 Trading

When Di Xing opened his eyes again, he was in front of the ceiling of Youquan Pavilion. He felt that he was resting on something soft, so he tilted his head back slightly and found that he was lying on Li Fei Hua Yue's lap.

Because of a certain part of the exorcist girl's body that was somewhat inappropriate, Di Xing could directly see Li Fei Hua Yue's face, and at this moment, she was gently stroking Di Xing's hair.

"I'm sorry for knocking you out, but I didn't have a better option at the time."

"Oh my, isn't this Di Xing? You've looked so tired after just a few days!" Xiao Yi spun his wheelchair into the house.

Di Xing didn't want to pay him any attention and snuggled even closer into Li Fei Hua Yue's arms. Mmm, smells good~

"Hua Yue, is everyone alright?"

"It's alright. Although some were injured, none of them are in life-threatening danger."

"That's good." Di Xing suddenly remembered something else. "Speaking of Hua Yue, what about the coat I lent you? It's been a long time, shouldn't you return it to me?"

Upon hearing Di Xing mention the coat, Li Fei Hua Yue's face immediately turned red. The coat was currently in her bed; how could she return it, especially since it still had...

"Didn't you give me that dress?"

"I'm just borrowing it from you."

"Whatever, it's mine now! By the way, why did you suddenly go berserk? Is it related to that coffin lid?"

"Coffin lid?"

"It's Zhuang Sidai."

"Oh, it has nothing to do with her. I suddenly went berserk after seeing a man in black robes. I feel it might be related to Di Xing in this world. That person might be the one who killed him. By the way, do you know this Zhuang Sidai?"

"Hmph, the funeral parlor also takes on exorcism jobs and has a cooperative relationship with our sanctuary. My sister and I both know her; we even trained together. That coffin lid keeps spouting incomprehensible phrases, and even someone as lively as my sister can't communicate with her. In short, she's a very annoying person."

"Oh, I see. She does always say things I can't understand. But you call her a coffin lid? She's definitely not as well-endowed as you, is she?" Di Xing blurted out his inner thoughts and immediately felt a sharp pain in his temple.

Li Fei Hua Yue looked down at him with a smile, "What did you say?"

Di Xing swallowed hard. "N-nothing."

"Hahaha, Di Xing, you're actually scared by a little girl? Should I go buy you some diapers?" Xiao Yi laughed, patting his wheelchair.

Being called "little girl" by Xiao Yi made Li Fei Hua Yue a little unhappy, and she let go of Di Xing.

Upon being freed, Di Xing immediately jumped up and retorted to Xiao Yi, "No need! You should buy one for yourself. It's been so long, and you're still stuck in a wheelchair. I think you should stop calling yourself Xiao Yi and start calling yourself 'Legged Disappearance.' Even the Flame King struggled against the Flame Hell; where's your face?"

Xiao Yi's face darkened immediately upon hearing this.

"Oh, oh, oh, you're unhappy? Then stand up and hit me, can't you, little dog?"

Just as Di Xing was feeling smug, Shi Xun suddenly grabbed him from behind.

"Holy crap, Shi Xun, when did you get here? What do you want?"

On the other side, Xiao Yi stood up from his wheelchair with a sinister smile.

"Holy crap, Xiao Yi, your leg's healed?! You old scoundrel, don't come any closer! Yi, Yi-ge, no, don't hit my face, ah!!!"

Di Xing paid the price for his loose tongue once again.

A short while later, the people who had been on missions in various districts returned to the Ghost Spring Pavilion. Everyone had sustained some kind of injury, but Aria seemed to be the most seriously injured; she was carried back by Vitty.

"I'm sorry, Dixing," Vitty said remorsefully, "I failed to protect Aria."

"Don't blame Sister Vivi," Aria said hurriedly, "The enemy's attack was too fierce, and I was careless..."

"It's alright, if I have to blame anyone, it's those bastards from the Hexagram family." Di Xing took Aria from Vidi's back and put her on the bed to rest.

Then Di Xing briefly described the crisis in the Miscellaneous Valley District. To be precise, it wasn't just the Miscellaneous Valley District, but the entire Fourth Level. The potatoes in the Miscellaneous Valley District weren't just for the residents of that district, but for all the poor people of the Fourth Level.

Without enough food, the price of grain in the Gako family would skyrocket, and many poor people might starve to death.

Therefore, we must come up with a solution.

"Those guys here are really rotten to the core!" Zhai Luyou said in surprise. "I'd heard that the capitalists in Muwu Dulun were inhuman, but I didn't expect them to actually be anthropomorphic."

"You humans are so heartless," Kit exclaimed. "Wait a minute, isn't Acricia here too?! If that girl doesn't get enough to eat, that won't do. Acricia, you can't eat people!"

Is Acricia some new breed of ghoul? Di Xing sighed, facepalming.

"Xuefang, could you explain your strategy to them?"

Ye Xuefang seemed somewhat displeased that Di Xing called her by her name directly, but she still obediently explained the solution.

Hearing this, Li Feihua frowned slightly. "This seems like a solution, but putting aside the fact that the Hexagram family will definitely obstruct us, the most pressing problem is that we don't have any money."

Di Xing raised his hand. "I still have some money, but it's definitely not enough to buy all the food for the fourth floor."

Shi Xun stroked his chin. "Does this mean I have to take out a loan from the Leppard family's bank?"

"No!" Xiao Yi exclaimed excitedly. "That place is a den of monsters that devour people without spitting out the bones. Once you get involved, you'll be completely swallowed up."

"Yes, that family is shameless." Di Xing thought about the money the Leppard family owed him. If he could get that money back, there might be some hope. Was there a way to get the Leppard family to give him the money? Hmm, it seems there really is, but he might have to ask Xiao Yi's family for help, and also...

"Everyone, it's very late, and many of you are injured. Let's all get some rest."

Di Xing made a plan in his mind and arranged for everyone to rest in Youquan Pavilion.

Because they also had to guard against an attack on the Ghost Spring Pavilion by the Hexagram family, everyone decided to take turns keeping watch.

When it was Di Xing's turn to keep watch, he asked the ghosts and monsters to monitor the entire hall, while he quietly went to a secret room in the Youquan Hall and activated a large communication terminal.

On the other end of the terminal screen was a bathroom, with layers of sheer curtains completely surrounding a bathtub, where a beautiful figure was leisurely washing her body.

Di Xing couldn't help but swallow hard. "Lord of the City, do we always have to make every meeting so exciting?"

"My schedule is very regular, but you insisted on contacting me at this time."

Di Xing couldn't help but sigh. This means of communication was something he had asked Ariana for last time. If nothing unexpected happened, the city lord of Muwuduren should be Labilins of the Silver City.

Di Xing was actually quite curious about how a card sprite like her had become a city lord, but now was clearly not the time to talk about that. What Di Xing was certain of was that this city lord was interested in him.

In other words, he might have some value to her, which is why he proposed a deal. He gambled correctly, and this was already the second deal between them.
