Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

Changsha city five years later.

Inside Chenpi's trading table, a team of people were ready to go. Chenpi lowered his head and carefully wiped his nine-claw hook. Without even raising his head, he spoke to the young man standing beside him: "How come our Second Young Master Cheng is free to take my job today? Is there a treasure you like in this bowl?"

The young man was naturally Cheng Ji who left Motuo five years ago. Now in his twenties, he had lost his former immaturity and looked even more handsome than five years ago, with eyebrows and eyes as picturesque as a painting, a beauty that would never be forgotten once seen.

Cheng Ji tied her waist-length hair into a high ponytail with a ribbon, and replied to Chen Pi's question while tying it: "There is something I'm looking for in here."

Chen Pi also became interested after hearing this, and raised his eyebrows and said, "The thing that makes our Second Young Master Cheng so interested must be a rare thing. I am really looking forward to this fight."

Chen Pi and Cheng Ji have been in touch since they met. No one in the Nine Gates would have thought that the two who used to be at loggerheads when they met would become more familiar with each other in the past few years.

After all, fighting is a dangerous job, and you never know when you might stumble and die on some unknown hilltop. Having one more expert in charge means more protection.

Most of the famous people in Changsha City are thugs hired by the Nine Gates. There are only two of them who are very powerful and active outside the Nine Gates.

One is a strange man named Qi who always wears a pair of black sunglasses when he goes to a tomb. He appears and disappears mysteriously and no one knows his name. People on the street call him Black Blind Man or Black Lord.

The other is this carefree young master from a merchant family, but he is well versed in numerology and corpse control, and is simply the best candidate to save his life when tomb robbing.

The only difference is that the former has a clearly marked price but is very casual. They just fight and don’t care about the life or death of the employer. The price is high, so only a few companies can afford it.

The latter is more based on your mood. If you want to go, you can go without paying. If you don't want to go, you can't sway his decision even if you spend all your fortune.

But Cheng Ji would take most of the work of Mr. Chen Si, and only Chen Pi would receive this treatment, which made everyone confused.

Cheng Ji tied up his hair and tilted his head to ask, "Why haven't you set off yet? Is there anyone else coming?"

Chenpi also wiped the nine-claw hook, folded the wiping cloth again and again, threw it on the table beside him, and replied: "It's almost done, it's coming soon." Then he pointed to the figure coming from a distance outside the door.

A man in a black leather jacket and sunglasses walked in, his eyes swept over, and the moment he saw the boy, he paused, then trotted over and grabbed the boy's hand: "Hey, isn't this the young master of the Cheng family? I've heard a lot about you. I'm Hei Xiazi. Hey, nice to meet you. Next time you have a job that pays well, you have to think of me."

Cheng Ji's face twitched fiercely. In recent years, he has been repeatedly visiting cemeteries with some traces of the Nine-Tailed Clan, and basically has not stayed in Changsha for a long time. He has heard that Hei Xia Zi has been active in the Nine Gates of Changsha in recent years, but he has never had the chance to meet him. If he had seen him, he would not have thought that Hei Ye would be like this.

Looking at the degree of reflection in Heiye's sunglasses, I'm afraid he is a money printing machine. I really don't know why Heiye is so short of money. It's really rare for someone to be short of money for a lifetime.

Cheng Ji broke free from Hei Ye's hand, which was tightly held like a huge gold ingot, and said with a fake smile: "Hei Ye, what are you talking about? We both have clearly marked prices, and your price is more than twice as high as mine. How can someone who earns less lead someone who earns more to make money?"

Hei Xia Zi withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile without changing his expression: "That's fine, I'll help you make money, this introduction fee..."

He made a sign with his hand and said, "One hundred dollars. What do you think? Do you want to do it?"

Cheng Ji sneered and pointed out: "Then you will ask the host for double the introduction fee, right?"

Hei Xia Zi's face froze. He had thought that the kid was only in his early twenties and would be easier to fool, but who would have thought that he acted like a little fox as soon as he opened his mouth.

Chen Pi was too lazy to watch the young man fooling around, so he simply stood up to check if he had everything he needed to bring, and walked out without looking back: "You two can chat, don't delay our departure later."

Cheng Ji responded, and his beautiful eyes were locked on Hei Xiazi's eyes for no reason. He looked at him carefully for a long time.

The young man's gaze made Hei Xiazi feel uncomfortable, and he said uncomfortably: "No, Master Cheng, I know that I am a blind man who looks a little good, but a blind man sells his art, not his body."

Hearing this, Cheng Ji withdrew his gaze and sneered, "Who cares about the two taels of meat on your body? It won't make much money even if you sell it by the pound."

"I'm looking at your eyes. Tsk, the person who cursed you must be jealous of you. Such a vicious curse was cast on you since you were born."

Hei Xiazi retracted his cynical look and said in astonishment: "Do you know what's wrong with my eyes?"

Cheng Ji imitated Hei Xia Zi's tone and expression and replied with a smile: "Want to know? Two hundred dollars."

"..."

You little bastard, you actually put what you learned into practice.

However, Cheng Ji was just joking and had no real intention of asking Hei Xia Zi for his money. After all, everyone knew that taking money out of Hei Xia Zi's pocket was no different from asking for his life.

The young man considered his words and said, "You were cursed in your mother's womb. Rather than a curse, it's more of a spell that invites resentment. But your family must have hired a master to break the curse when you were very young, but his skills were not as good as the one who cast the curse on you, which is why there are remnants of the curse on your eyes. As time goes by, the resentment you attract will become heavier, until you can no longer see, and then you will be close to death."

Hei Xia Zi was silent for a long time. When he looked up again, he smiled and said, "I have a bad fate. There is nothing I can do. I will wait until I become blind. Who knows, I may not even be blind then. If you do this job, you may die in a fight any day."

"How about Master Cheng agree to take the job with the blind man? It won't be a loss for the blind man to die with such a beautiful woman, don't you think?"

Cheng Ji also experienced firsthand how Zhang Qiling felt when he first faced his nonsense.

Fortunately, he used a piece of meteorite jade to buy the chance to save his life, otherwise Zhang Qiling might not be able to bear it and strangle him to death and throw him into the coffin.

Cheng Ji carefully filtered Hei Xia Zi's words several times in his mind before he replied, "You can't die. I can decipher this talisman."
