BXBX NOVEL Chapter 133 - Who Is Fairy Ding?
Qin Yi didn\'t know how he should answer Major Liu\'s question.
The Doppelganger Monkey could indeed be considered the Monkey King of this mountain, but not like the Monkey King they thought.
However, if he were to reveal the Doppelganger Monkey\'s true identity, Major Liu and others would probably not allow Qin Yi to take it away.
After all, Doppelganger Monkey is the source of revenue for Monkey Town.
However, Qin Yi had no intention of cutting off the town\'s source of money. Even if he stole the Doppelganger Monkey from Monkey Mountain, it didn\'t mean that the monkeys that usually produced Monkey Wine would disappear as well.
Before the Doppelganger Monkey decided to follow Qin Yi, it had already left two clones on this mountain.
Doppelganger Monkey\'s clones are unique as they inherit all of the main body\'s attributes, including Mystic Talent.
Therefore, as long as they had enough spiritual energy, the monkeys on Monkey Mountain would only continue to multiple rather than disappear.
"You could say so. I had a small transaction with this little monkey, and the head of the Poisonous Giant Snake that I asked of you guys was one of the transaction contents. Although I couldn\'t obtain it, the little monkey didn\'t seem to mind it." Qin Yi briefly explained his relationship with the Doppelganger Monkey.
"Aih…" Major Liu was slightly depressed and angry whenever he thought of the Poisonous Giant Snake\'s carcass.
It was stolen right in front of his eyes.
Such a humiliation.
How could he not be angry?
"Does Major Liu know anything about Fairy Ding?" Qin Yi asked.
Major Liu fell into a trance for quite a while. He seems to hold something about her but is unwilling to expose it. Thus, he could only answer vaguely, "Fairy Ding came to this town about five years ago, and she claimed to be a loose cultivator. I don\'t know much about this woman, but I remember a few years ago, two years ago, to be exact— she went to a certain ruin with her Dao Companion. However, only one person managed to return, which was Fairy Ding. That\'s all I know about her."
Shao Changfeng nodded as he added, "Her Dao companions also came to this town at the same time as Fairy Ding. However, as far as I remember, Fairy Ding was not a reckless or greedy person. She seems to have changed quite a bit since her return from the ruin."
The long-bearded old man pulled his beard and spoke seriously, "Indeed. Fairy Ding is such a virtuous woman; it was strange to witness her act like this suddenly. Instead, it\'s her Dao Companion that seems to be the problem. Even just looking at him, I can tell that person isn\'t a good egg."
Evidently, the testimony of the three of them deepened Qin Yi\'s suspicions about Fairy Ding, especially when he recalled that this woman had the Face Changing Art.
Is it possible that the real Fairy Ding fell in ruin, and after her Dao Dompaion assumes Fairy Ding\'s identity after returning to town?
That\'s quite unlikely. After all, Fairy Ding\'s current body belonged to a woman, whereas Face Changing Art could only change her face...
No, wait, there might still be Fairy Ding\'s possessions that Qin Yi hasn\'t checked yet related to physical changes.
The worst scenario might be Fairy Ding\'s body being possessed by her Dao Companion...
For a moment, the detective soul in Qin Yi\'s body suddenly awakens.
Suddenly heard Major Liu say, "Brother Collector, since you got nothing in this event, what about I compensate you with another thing?"
"Oh?" Qin Yi was slightly interested.
To be honest, he didn\'t really care about the spoil of war. He wanted the Poisonous Giant Snake\'s head because he wanted to give it to Doppelganger Monkey.
However, since Doppelganger Monkey has already been happy with the result, he doesn\'t mind even if he gets nothing in this operation.
Major Liu, "I heard you have a hobby of gathering seed of heaven and earth materials. I have a seed of a Rank 2 heaven and earth material called Spirit Peach Tree. The fruits produced from this tree can help Qi Condensation Realm cultivators cultivate. It\'s useless to a cultivator at my level, but I think it might be useful in your hands. How is it?"
A fruit that could help Qi Condensation Realm cultivators cultivate?
Qin Yi\'s eyes lit up slightly.
Even if it was useless to him, he could use it on Yin Chen or sell it for a high price.
"Major Liu has a heart. It\'s not good for me to refuse your sincere gift~." Qin Yi happily accepted the gift.
Major Liu coughed and said, "It\'s not comparable with your medicines, but I hope Brother Collector don\'t despise it."
"How so~."
Qin Yi and the others chatted for a while before they finally left this place one by one.
There\'s no point in wandering around this place after everything that happened. Therefore, they can only go home with a depressed heart.
Qin Yi patted the monkey on his shoulder and finally said, "We also need to go home!"
"Wo-hoo~."
Doppelganger Monkey reluctantly looked at its hometown before it finally agreed.
Yin Chen also nodded as he merged with Qin Yi\'s shadow.
After that, they returned to the inn together.
***
Somewhere, around a thousand miles away from Monkey Mountain, a yellow-dressed woman appeared behind a tree.
She hides under the shade and moves like she\'s about to do something.
The next moment, she slowly peeled off her skin from the top of her head to the bottom. The process was swift, but his every movement of her hands was meticulous like she was very experienced at this.
After a few minutes, the yellow-dressed woman who was initially beautiful and well proportioned has now drastically changed.
Now, the yellow-dressed woman was no longer a woman; she was now a man with a hideous face and two long stitches at the corners of his mouth.
"Not bad. I got a big fish this time. However, I can no longer use Fairy Ding\'s identity after this."
That right, this yellow-dressed woman is none other than Fairy Ding, a female cultivator who escaped after stealing the Poisonous Giant Snake\'s corpse.
But now \'she\' is no longer her.
\'Fairy Ding\' was just a name he had been playing for the past two years.
He smiled contemptuously, "Those ignorant fools can\'t see the extraordinariness of the Poisonous Giant Snake. They could only see it as an ordinary Rank 2 Peak Magical Beast. I thought so too at first, but I found that there were unique fluctuations in the Poisonous Giant Snake\'s blood. If I don\'t guess wrong, the blood of this snake is definitely halfway through becoming a Divine Blood, and it very likely becomes Divine Beast in the future."
"Moreover, this snake came to Monkey Mountain with the intention of swallowing the rumored-Mystic Beast; thus, it further proved my guess. Major Liu and the others wanted to divide the Poisonous Giant Snake\'s corpse, but they had absolutely no idea the exact worth of it. If they did, they might end up in a bloodbath, and it won\'t be easy for me to get the advantage."
At first, the hideous man intended to just go with the flow, assume the role of Fairy Ding, participate in the hunt, and get the reward.
But who would have thought that he discovered such an unexpected secret from the target\'s body?
In order to get the most profit, he decided to steal the spoil of war and throw away the false identity that he maintained for two years.
He originally wanted to play the role of \'Fairy Ding\' for a bit longer. After all, Major Liu really \'treated\' him very well, especially after that guy found out that Fairy Ding\'s Dao Companion died in ruin.
But now, the hideous man couldn\'t use that anymore.
This decision offended not only Major Liu but also the other four Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
Additionally, there was also a mysterious person called Collector.
Although he knew nothing about this person, he felt that this person was not easy to mess with.
The hideous man suddenly took out a vial and held it with a meaningful smile.
"This medicine has a very high value. There may be people in Underworld City who are interested in this. Such a rare thing, I will definitely get a good price. Moreover, the information about the maker is also invaluable. A fortune will strike me this time!"
Thinking about this, the hideous man suddenly became so excited.
"I heard that there will be a big auction in Black Water City very soon. Let\'s go there first before heading to Underworld City. I also need to get good skin. If possible, I want to have another fair woman\'s skin like Fairy Ding\'s. Being a woman has many advantages, especially in front of perverts male cultivators.." The hideous man licked his dry lips slyly.
