Chapter 267: Market Competition, the Big Monster also has a backstage
The wolf demon was at the Spirit Transformation Realm, the tiger demon was at the Mahayana Realm, and the minions behind them were at least at the Return to Void Realm. In this temporary market, their realms were the highest.
The cow demon who sells milk is just a little demon in the Jindan realm.
The two giant monsters exuded a fierce demonic aura, which frightened the surrounding monsters and made them tremble with fear.
The vendors in the market are generally not of high standard. After all, the things they sell here are not good stuff.
Of course, the real good goods should be sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives of the warehouses, and only the warehouses can afford high prices.
This kind of demon ghost market only buys and sells some sundries that meet the daily needs of low- and middle-level demons. The demons involved in the trade are mostly at the foundation-building stage, and there are not many at the Return to Void stage.
The wolf demon threatened the cow demon so much that it emptied its backpack, but it only found ten kilograms of meat coins.
"It's your bad luck that you dared to be the first to tease King Yin. Today I will make an example of you so that those unruly monsters will remember this lesson!"
As he said that, the wolf demon took out a big knife and gestured to the cow demon: "You still need 90 kilograms of meat, so I will cut off two of your cow legs to make up the number!"
"Have mercy, my king. I don't dare to do that anymore. Please forgive me. I have a calf to feed at home..."
The cow cried and shed tears, then fell to her knees on the ground, trembling and begging.
The wolf demon had a ferocious expression, raised his sword high, and said with a playful smile: "My king, we have beef tonight. Do you want to shabu-shabu or grill it?"
As the big knife was chopping down, blood splattered three feet high, and a shrill scream resounded on the spot.
The wolf demon fell to the ground and rolled over, covering his arm. His arm holding the knife was missing, cut off at the shoulder, and blood was gushing out from the severed arm.
The tiger demon was horrified. With his Mahayana cultivation level, he couldn't even see who had injured the wolf demon.
"Who did it? Who dared to attack my men?"
The tiger demon opened its bloody mouth and roared, and a fishy wind spread along with the deafening roar.
The evil spirit of the Mahayana Demon King enveloped the monsters in the market. They could not bear the pressure and their legs went limp and they fell to the ground.
Only Wen Rui and Luosha woman were still standing firmly.
In this way, the culprit who just broke the wolf demon's arm became clear at a glance.
The tiger demon saw clearly the man and the demon standing among the group of prone monsters. His expression changed again, and his ferocity weakened a little.
"Iron Fan Fairy? Wen Renmo?"
The tiger demon calmed down and said carefully, "What are you two doing in this stinking demon den?"
The Rakshasa woman looked at Wen Rui, and Wen Rui spread his hands and said, "It's none of my business. I just came out for a stroll and passed by."
After saying that, he took a step back, crossed his arms, and acted like a bystander, as if it really had nothing to do with him.
The Rakshasa woman rolled her eyes, took a step forward, and said coldly: "Who gave you the courage to come to this immortal's territory to set rules and collect protection fees?"
The tiger demon was stunned, then argued, "Iron Fan Fairy, your mountain is obviously Cuiyun Mountain, when did this place become your territory? This place is closer to my Tiger Leap Gorge, right? Since it is closer to my mountain, it should be my territory."
"Humph, so what if it's close? No matter how close it is, this place is not within the Tiger Leaping Gorge."
The Rakshasa woman said coldly, "Just because it's close, it becomes your territory? Speaking of close, your Tiger Leaping Gorge is also very close to my Cuiyun Mountain."
"You!" The tiger demon was furious, but had to suppress his anger: "Iron Fan Fairy, for the sake of the Great Sage Ping Tian, the demon kings have been very tolerant of you over the years. Don't push your luck and bully the tiger too much."
"Do you really think that ugly bull has been protecting me all these years?"
The Rakshasa woman's face was as cold as frost, and she was obviously angry: "I am just keeping a low profile and don't want to show my abilities. If you are sensible, you can still save your life. If you don't get out of here, I will peel off your skin and make a skirt for my brother!" The fairy was angry, and the sky and the earth changed color.
The Rakshasa woman exuded a rolling demonic energy, and the sky, which was clear just now, was suddenly filled with dark clouds, black winds blew, and the ground was covered with flying sand and rocks.
"My eldest brother is the Great Sage Peng Demon King!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the tiger demon shouted fiercely: "Even the Great Sage Pingtian politely called my elder brother brother when he saw me. If you, a witch, dare to do anything to me, my elder brother will not forgive you!"
"Demon King Peng? You dare to use him to pressure me? Even if he comes in person, I won't be afraid!"
The Rakshasa woman's expression was stern, and she was obviously a little afraid, but she didn't care about it because her temper came up. She waved her hand and a whirlwind appeared out of thin air and rolled towards the tiger monster.
Most of the monsters that are tigers in form of spirits belong to the wood element and are good at wind-based escape techniques. The wind power of the Rakshasa woman is obviously better. The tiger monster was swept into the air by the whirlwind and could not get rid of it no matter how it struggled.
"I'll spare your life, but you can escape the death penalty. If you dare to go wild on my territory again, I'll skin you alive next time!"
The Rakshasa woman said this with great dominance, and threw the magic sword out with a flick of her hand. The sword passed through the whirlwind and actually cut off the tiger demon's tail with one sword.
She waved her hand again, and the whirlwind carried the tiger demon higher and higher. Soon he disappeared into the horizon, and no one knew where he was taken.
The little demons brought by the tiger demon were so frightened when they saw their leader was blown away that they immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Rakshasa woman, begging for mercy: "My king, please spare our lives. We will never dare to do this again, and we will never come again..."
"roll!"
The Rakshasa woman shouted angrily, and all the little demons fled out of the market in a hurry, disappearing without a trace.
After driving away the tiger demon, the demons in the market did not dare to stand up. Instead, they knelt down and worshiped the Rakshasa woman.
"Thank you for your protection!"
"From now on, we will obey the Iron Fan Fairy."
"May I ask, Great Immortal, how much protection fee should we pay every day from now on?"
……
There were many monsters who expressed gratitude and submission, but there were even more who inquired about the amount of protection money.
The demon tribe is like this. They change the flag of the king on the mountain, and changing the king is just changing the object of offering sacrifices.
Therefore, what the monsters are most concerned about is how much money the new king will charge them. This is the key issue that directly affects whether they can survive in the Iron Fan Fairy's territory.
"How much protection money should be paid?"
The Rakshasa woman was stunned for a moment. She drove away King Yin just to declare her sovereignty and she really didn't think too much about it.
After pondering for a moment, she turned her gaze to Wen Rui again.
Wen Rui came forward and whispered in her ear: "Let's first charge a symbolic entrance fee of 5 kilograms per day. Once we develop this market and build standard stalls, shops and other infrastructure, we can then divide the fee into different levels."
The Rakshasa woman nodded and was about to announce it to the monsters, but Wen Rui stopped her and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? You don't even have a toll collector. Are you planning to collect the tolls door to door yourself?"
The Rakshasa woman was confused for a moment, and was at a loss as to what to do.
Wen Rui then gave instructions in a low voice, "Tell them that we will send someone to collect it later, and it will definitely be lower than what King Yin charged."
The Rakshasa woman quickly agreed, and then she said loudly: "I won't collect it these days. The Japanese fairy will send someone to collect it after a while. Don't worry, it won't be as expensive as that ugly tiger!"
After hearing her words, all the monsters showed joy on their faces, especially the cow whose legs were almost cut off. She kowtowed to her repeatedly and praised the Iron Fan Fairy for her kindness and tolerance.
