Chapter 977 Heavily Injured!
Liu Furong contacted Ling Lan but she told him that it was inconvenient for her to talk now and asked him to leave a message. Hence, Liu Furong texted what happened to Tao Ying to her and waited for her reply patiently.
In the black market, Ling Lan raised her arm to look at her communicator. Ye Shao noticed Ling Lan’s actions and smiled. “There are interference systems in place so our communicators can’t be used. Even if we are just standing in front of each other, we can’t communicate through our communicators.”
Ling Lan smiled in reply. “No wonder there is no reaction. I asked my team members to report their situation to me every hour.”
Ling Lan settled Ye Shao and read through the message Liu Furong sent her in her mind. She started pondering over it.
Little Tao was a normal person but he had a strong point. The first time she saw him, she discovered that he had awakened his innate talent at a young age too. She remembered all the children she saw in the black market and arrived at a conclusion.
Those human traffickers must have noticed Little Tao’s strength accidentally. They also knew that he was from a weak mercenary team so there would be no consequences involved if they kidnapped him. Since there was nothing to lose, they had no reason to give up on this piece of meat.
Ling Lan told Liu Furong her guess. Liu Furong was enlightened. No wonder Little Tao was taken away. He told Luo Yi what Ling Lan told him. As he was speaking, he suddenly remembered that his precious daughter had awakened her innate talent too. He got frightened. He told Luo Yi, “Luo Yi, stay here. I’ll go and find my daughter.”

Then, he disappeared.
Damn it, his Little Aihua followed Wang Qi, Han Xuya, and some other people to the market. He hoped that nothing happened to them.
Wang Qi and Liu Aihua liked to walk around freely so they cooperated and managed to leave their little burden, Liu Aijun, behind. Without Liu Aijun following them, Aunt Liu wouldn’t nag at them. However, since they were just kids, Han Xuya was worried about letting them walked around alone so she split up with Luo Chao. She would follow Wang Qi and Liu Aihua while Luo Chao would follow Aunt Liu and Liu Aijun.
Besides the two of them, Luo Lang and Qi Long came to protect them too. Luo Lang followed his sister so Qi Long followed Han Xuya. Just like how Han Xuya was worried about Wang Qi and Liu Aihua, Qi Long was worried about Han Xuya too.
The Chaotic Lands were dangerous and unsafe but the items sold here were good. The price was much cheaper than their own planet too. Some were shockingly cheap. Wang Qi and Liu Aihua managed to buy some knick-knacks after a while.
As Wang Qi and Liu Aihua stood in front of a stall and looked through the pile of goods, Han Xuya had some free time to take a look at the wide array of goods beside her too. A spherical ball with mist coming out of it caught her attention. She walked over and held the ball. A cold feeling flowed up her hand. This was a frost pearl.
“Miss, this is the frost pearl special to Planet Aoliduo. It’s very precious.” The stall owner smiled happily when he saw a customer.
“The frost river produced millions of frost pearls every year. It isn’t as precious as you say, “Han Xuya replied calmly. She liked the frost pearl because she felt that it was compatible with her Boss. She wasn’t a stupid person who didn’t know how to bargain. She wouldn’t be fooled by a few words.
The stall owner’s lie got exposed so he laughed awkwardly and said, “You are a knowledgeable person. I can’t fool you. How about this, if you like it, you can take it at this price.” The stall owner knew that he couldn’t get more money from this beautiful lady so he gave up this thought decisively and named his price.
Han Xuya looked at the frost pearl carefully. Then, she offered half the price the stall owner gave her.
The stall owner gave a forced smile. “Miss, I came all the way here to set up my stall. Let me earn some money. I really can’t earn much at this price. I can’t sell it to you.”
Han Xuya put down the frost pearl indifferently. “Forget it. I hope that you can get a better buyer.” She looked as though she wanted to stand up.
The stall owner saw her action and shouted, “Wait, miss, do you want to buy more things? If you buy more, I’ll sell it to you at your
price.”
“This frost pearl can only be used as an accessory. There is no use for it. The price I’m offering you is high enough. You’ll not be able to find a better buyer. Plus, there is only one pearl. I can’t even make a bracelet with it.” Han Xuya pretended to be nonchalant. “If you are willing to sell it, I can buy it for fun. If not, I don’t have to get it too.”
The owner thought for a moment and asked, “You want more frost pearls?”
Han Xuya raised one of her eyebrows. “You have more?”
“How many do you need? If you buy more, I’ll offer it to you at the price.” That which is rare is dear. The stall owner didn’t bring out all his stock first.
“How many do you have?” Han Xuya didn’t answer him.
The stall owner show ’10’ with his fingers.
“I want all of them. However, I want them at this price.” Han Xuya signaled another price with her fingers. The stall owner’s expression seemed even more forced. “Miss, this is not how you should bargain.”
“You should know that once there is a huge supply of something, the price will become cheaper.” Han Xuya smiled like a sly little fox.
“You’re impressive.” The stall owner couldn’t do anything. He agreed with the price. It was a third of his original price but at least he managed to sell all his frost pearls. He had gotten back most of his cost for this trip.
Han Xuya happily took the camphor wood box containing the ten frost pearls. As she was getting up, she saw Wang Qi and Liu Aihua running into the crowd. She got up hurriedly and chased after them. Two big-sized men suddenly blocked her path.
Han Xuya tilted her body and wanted to evade them. Suddenly, a hand appeared in front of her chest. One of the men was trying to molest
her.
“What are you trying to do?” Qi Long appeared instantly and grabbed the hand. He was furious.
Han Xuya looked at Qi Long.
Qi Long nodded to show that he would take care of this matter. Han Xuya moved to the side and left. She wanted to catch up with the two children among the crowd. She still remembered that she needed to take care of them.
She took a few steps when suddenly, she couldn’t move anymore. Wang Qi, who was in front of her, was gone.
Han Xuya vomited a mouthful of blood.
The force that was gripping her body disappeared. The heavily injured Han Xuya leaned back and fell towards the ground. A warm and strong arm caught her tightly. “Xuya!” Qi Long shouted anxiously.
‘This is the first time you called me Xuya!’ Han Xuya wanted to tell him this but she couldn’t speak. Blood kept flowing out of her mouth, staining her clothes.
