Chapter 151 My Sisters Are Really Fierce
Everything players need in Qingxi Town is free, except for the Beauty Fan.
"Let's go take a look!" Su Yuning suggested. It would be unbearable to keep them waiting; it would be better to look for other clues.
Seeing Ji Xingyi stand up, Chi Xuan said with concern, "You should go and rest."
Ji Xingyi shook her head: "I'm fine, let's go."
The four hurried to the shop that Guo Xinwen had found selling second-grade beauty fans. In the morning, Guo Xinwen and her group cooperated with Jiang Lin and the others, and deliberately set fire to the town's east side, which was the furthest from Jin Lushan's residence. This shop happened to be located in the west side of the town, and those second-grade beauty fans had not yet been sold.
However, the shop owner specially put up a rope at the entrance, only allowing customers to watch from outside the red rope, unless payment is made in advance.
Ji Xingyi narrowed his eyes. The second-grade beauty fan was still exquisite, but it lacked the soul-capturing and spirit-seizing power of the beauty fan on the flower boat that day.
"Fifty taels of gold? Good heavens!" Chi Xuan couldn't help but exclaim, "We have to find a way to get fifty taels of gold!"
Su Yuning lowered her voice: "There's a pawnshop across the street!"
Guo Xinwen was shocked: "Are you serious?"
Just then, the shop owner came out to greet a wealthy man from out of town. The man was accompanied by an attendant who was carrying an exquisite sandalwood box.
"No need to rob the pawnshop anymore." Ji Xingyi said, then turned and followed the wealthy man.
Su Yuning's eyes were eager to try, and Chi Xuan and Guo Xinwen exchanged a glance before quickly following her.
The four men followed the wealthy man to an empty alley. Ji Xingyi immediately rushed forward and kicked one of the wealthy man's attendants.
This attendant was also a trained fighter. He reacted quickly when Ji Xingyi kicked him, blocking the kick to the side. Although he took two steps back, he managed to block the force of Ji Xingyi's kick.
Chi Xuan and Guo Xinwen wanted to go up and help, but after seeing the two of them fighting, they silently retreated. They looked at each other and realized that their small bodies could be kicked to the Western Paradise with one kick.
Su Yuning discovered that the sandalwood box containing the beauty fan had fallen to the ground. She immediately rushed over to grab it, but the attendant kicked the sandalwood box away.
Ji Xingyi rolled over and grabbed at the sandalwood box once more.
Unexpectedly, the attendant waved his hand and threw a dart at Ji Xingyi.
Normally, Ji Xingyi would have been able to dodge it with his reflexes, but at the critical moment, his eyes went blurry again, and a throwing knife turned into three in his vision. With a tearing sound, his right arm was instantly covered in blood.
Ji Xing gritted his teeth, quickly picked up the wooden box, and threw it at Chi Xuan. Chi Xuan grabbed the box and ran away.
Meanwhile, seeing that she couldn't get involved with Ji Xingyi, Su Yuning set her sights on the lone wealthy man, preparing to capture him first.
Upon seeing the item in Chi Xuan's hands, the attendant immediately turned his attention to Chi Xuan and chased after her. Ji Xing glanced at the firewood piled in the corner and kicked the firewood at the man.
The man staggered from the impact, and Ji Xingyi seized the opportunity to kick him in the shin. As the man knelt down, Ji Xingyi hooked his elbow around the man's neck from behind, preparing to strangle him.
Just when Ji Xingyi thought victory was assured, her mind went blank again, her vision blurred, and she felt intense pain stimulating her brain nerves.
Ji Xingyi's grip loosened abruptly, giving the restrained follower a chance to catch his breath. He hooked his fingers around the hilt of the short sword tied to his leg, gripped the handle, and stabbed at Ji Xingyi's left shoulder with a backhand motion.
Ji Xingyi cried out in pain, enduring the agony as he increased the pressure on his hands.
The two were instantly locked in a life-or-death stalemate. Just as they were about to both perish, Chi Xuan and Guo Xinwen rushed back. The two women had dug up bricks from some corner and, screaming, began smashing them at the attendant's head and face.
Within moments, the wealthy man's entourage was beaten bloody by the two women.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ji Xingyi pulled out the short knife stuck in his shoulder and stabbed his follower in the heart through his vest, finally ending the battle.
Su Yuning brought the wealthy man back under her control. She intended to force the men to lay down their weapons, but when she saw the two women covered in blood and holding bricks, she widened her eyes: "Sisters, you're really fierce!"
Chi Xuan and Guo Xinwen were exhausted. Ji Xingyi walked up to the wealthy man and slit his throat.
Su Yuning wasn't afraid; there happened to be a dry well nearby. She helped Ji Xing throw the two corpses into the well to destroy the evidence.
Guo Xinwen gasped for breath: "I've never killed an NPC before."
Chi Xuan: "Neither do I."
"Thanks!" A slight smile appeared on Ji Xingyi's pale face, but the next second, dizziness struck again.
"Xingyi!" Chi Xuan quickly reached out and pressed on the bloody hole on Ji Xingyi's arm.
Guo Xinwen also came to help. She took off her coat and pressed it against Ji Xingyi's shoulder wound: "I'm a nurse, let's carry him back to the inn first!"
Su Yuning and Guo Xinwen carried Ji Xingyi back to the inn, while Chi Xuan went back to retrieve the hidden beauty fan.
After the three women returned to the inn, they were horrified to see Ji Xingyi's bleeding wound.
Ji Xingyi himself didn't show much change in expression, but looked up at Guo Xinwen and asked, "Can you perform the surgery? Just stitch it up."
Guo Xinwen swallowed hard: "Then I'll give it a try?"
Fifteen minutes later, Guo Xinwen looked at the centipede-like stitches and was extremely embarrassed. Ji Xingyi didn't say anything and simply put on his clothes.
Chi Xuan watched the whole thing and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you in pain?" The man didn't utter a sound!
Ji Xing shook his head. The physical pain paled in comparison to the pain in his heart. Caught between dreams and reality, the pain had become almost numbing.
"Sisters, enough talk, come and see the fruits of our labor!" Chi Xuan happily brought over a sandalwood box, placed it on the table, and opened it in front of everyone.
The exquisitely crafted fan was displayed up close to the four people; it was so beautiful that it seemed otherworldly.
Chi Xuan carefully held the fan handle and took out the round beauty fan.
"What material is this made of?" Guo Xinwen wanted to stick her eyes up to see it clearly.
Thin as a cicada's wing, it exudes a crystal-clear luster.
"Is it silk?" Su Yuning asked curiously, as she didn't know much about this subject in real life.
“It’s not silk.” Ji Xingyi took the fan from Chi Xuan and gently touched the surface, answering with certainty.
Ji Xingyi's clothes are all high-end custom-made. Although she has never been into them, she has gotten a feel for them after wearing them so many times.
The surface of the beauty fan is extremely smooth, with no visible pores, which is something that fabric could not possibly achieve.
Su Yuning: "What is that?"
"The shop owner said this is a second-grade product, a flawed item from a failed attempt to make a genuine beauty fan. But I can't see any flaws at all. Did you find any?" Guo Xinwen asked, puzzled.
Chi Xuan and Su Yuning both shook their heads.
Ji Xingyi stood up and went to the window, picking up a fan and facing the sun.
Sunlight streamed through the fan and shone on Ji Xingyi's face, the thin, gossamer-like surface emitting a soft glow.
Ji Xingyi stretched his hand to the edge of the fan, and in a daze, he seemed to see sunlight also passing through his palm.
The two are strangely similar when compared side by side.
Ji Xingyi: "It looks like leather."
"Human skin".
