2. What assassin! I'm just a butcher!
In a small city in the Great Qin Empire.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Ah Qi Beef Offal has just been released. It's good quality and cheap.”
Jiang Qi's stall was steaming. He was holding a pair of black scissors and cutting the beef offal into pieces.
The beef offal soup was as translucent as suet fat and as dark green as jade. The meat was boiling in the water. He sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions, and the rich fragrance immediately spread out.
Every day, Jiang Qi would wake up at dawn to set up his stall. However, on this night, a strange phenomenon descended from the sky, and the multicolored light shone brightly!
He was afraid that he would waste time, so he got up early and set up his stall.
Unfortunately, although the beef offal soup was fragrant, the people in the world were only focused on looking at the golden board phenomenon in the sky and did not have much appetite. Therefore, the business in front of his stall was declining.
"Auntie, give me a bowl of beef soup. I guarantee that you'll be ten years younger after drinking it.”
"Young man, half of my feet are already in the coffin. I'm still an old woman ten years younger!”The white-haired auntie left angrily.
"Inner roar! Little handsome boy, give me a bowl of beef soup. I guarantee that it'll be more useful than brain platinum. You'll get 100 marks in every exam!”
A young child was standing alone in front of Ah Qi's beef stall, sucking his fingers with snot bubbling and drooling.
"Uncle, I only have one coin. Can I buy a bowl?”
Jiang Qi immediately made a face and said fiercely,
"You little loser, if you don't have money, go back and drink milk. Don't block my business here!”
The child was so frightened that he ran home with tears and snot.
Suddenly, a delicate and beautiful woman in green appeared on the street. She carried a sword on her back and held a bamboo stick in her hand.
Jiang Qi saw it from afar and his eyes lit up. He praised,
"What a beautiful girl. Today's financial situation is bad, but it looks like she's going to be proud in love!”
Jiang Qi was about to stop the woman in green when she saw a few fierce-looking, burly men with full faces stop her.
The leader of the men stretched out an arm and surrounded the woman in green in a corner. He smiled and said,"
"Little girl, I see that you're a foreigner. Why don't you let the masters bring you around?”
Seeing that the beauty was about to fall into the hands of the bad guys, Jiang Qi was still thinking about whether to make a move.
"If you can snatch this bamboo stick from me, I'll go with you!”
Ah Qing smiled slightly, and there was a hint of charm in her delicate appearance. She even used the bamboo stick to lift his clothes.
The brawny man laughed even more arrogantly after being teased like this.
"If we were to make a move, I'm afraid that not only would we have to snatch your bamboo stick, but our entire body would also have to…"
With that, the group of burly men pounced on her.
The green-robed woman dodged them with a leap, then used the bamboo stick to point at a pain point on each of them in an instant.
They immediately lay on the ground and wailed. Then, they looked at the woman in green as if they had seen a ghost.
The woman in green turned to the side and covered her mouth as she laughed,"
"My bamboo stick is here. Where are you guys going to snatch it from?”
The brawny men knew that they had encountered a tough opponent today. After kneeling down and apologizing without saying anything, they fled like flying!
The green-robed woman was travel-worn and indeed felt a little hungry.
At this moment, she smelled the mellow fragrance of the beef offal soup. She could not help but feel hungry and walked towards Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi saw her walking straight to her stall. She wiped her hands and said with a smile,
"Pretty girl, pretty girl, you were so sharp just now. You must be hungry. Do you want a bowl of beef soup?”
He cleaned a table and chair for the woman in green and welcomed her to sit down.
The woman in green asked,"
"How much is a bowl of beef soup? If it doesn't taste good, I won't pay.”
"Don't worry, pretty girl! Seven wens for a bowl, fair and square. My restaurant has been around for many years. My neighbors won't be able to survive without my beef offal soup!”
Ah Qing looked around and murmured,""I don't think this business is good either."
Jiang Qi didn't hear him and said,""You can drink beef soup and watch my performance!”
Ah Qing looked at him from head to toe and saw that although he was handsome, his face was covered in sweat and grease. He obviously looked like a dazed chef. Ah Qing could not help but smile and say,
"What can a man like you perform? Are you going to take a bath in soup?”
"This pretty girl, your words are too uncouth. Watch carefully from now on!”
Jiang Qi slapped the chopping board, and the several catties of beef offal immediately flew into the air.
"Using qi to control scissors!"
Jiang Qi put his hands together, and the black scissors spun rapidly in the air, flying straight at the flying beef offal.
Every time the scissors cut, the separation was not bad, and it was wonderful to the extreme.
Every piece of beef offal that was cut off was similar in shape, and it fell into the soup like a leaf.
He stirred the soup a few more times with a spoon and scooped it up. He sprinkled a handful of coriander and his secret chili sauce before serving it to the girl in green.
"Pretty girl, please enjoy the beef offal. You don't mind eating coriander, right?”
The girl in green nodded and asked with interest,"
"Your cutting skills are not bad. Who did you learn it from?”
Jiang Qi flipped her hair and smiled, thinking that she was very charming.
"I don't remember how I learned it either, but it's nothing. I can teach you more powerful moves if you want.”
A trace of disappointment appeared on the green-robed woman's face as she muttered,"
"I learned all my sword techniques from the white ape. It's normal that he's not convenient to tell me!”
Then she asked," I think you should close this shop and become an assassin. Do you know how much money you can earn as an assassin?”
"Assassin?" Jiang Qi was a little surprised." I'm just a butcher. Why would I want to be an assassin? Do assassins have five insurances and one gold?"
The woman in green held her stomach like a weak willow supporting the wind and laughed loudly,
"In the martial world, the bounty for any head is hundreds of gold. You can't earn so much money even if you sell thousands of bowls of beef offal.”
"With your ability to control objects with your qi, you can assassinate anyone from hundreds of meters away and easily retreat. Selling beef offal here is really a waste of talent.”
Jiang Qi's face was full of dissatisfaction after being ridiculed. She said unhappily,"
"Don't underestimate the business of selling beef offal. There are a lot of details to cook a bowl of delicious soup!”
"Besides, I don't dare to kill people. After becoming an assassin, the money will be earned with my life.”
The green-robed woman's weak appearance made her eyebrows stand up. She couldn't help but say angrily,
"How can you be so unambitious? Didn't you see the assassin's golden list in the sky?”
"I heard that those who enter the rankings will have all kinds of rare rewards such as natural treasures!”
Jiang Qi looked at the golden list condensed by the brilliant light in the sky, but he was unmoved.
"How can you say that I have no ambition? My dream is to cook a bowl of beef soup that everyone loves to drink. For this reason, I have been working hard to research the recipe for so many years!
"Moreover, how many people do you have to kill to enter the Assassin Rankings? Wouldn't you become a heinous criminal?”
The woman in green looked at Jiang Qi's sharp hands and felt that they were wrapped in blood and had extraordinary killing intent!
Although he had long concealed his aura, his hands, which had been used to killing, could not conceal his killing intent no matter what!
She stared at his hands and said sarcastically,
"I'm afraid you've killed quite a number of people with your hands!”
The anger in Jiang Qi's heart could not help but rise. He nailed the kitchen knife to the chopping board and said loudly,
"You girl, don't be too rude!”
"My hands can only kill cows and sheep at most. How can I kill people?”
The green-robed woman's expression was indifferent. She snorted coldly and said,
"It's fine if you don't admit it. You can be a butcher for the rest of your life!”
After saying that, she buried her head in the soup and ignored Ah Qi!
She glanced sideways and found that this kid who sold beef offal was really strange. He seemed to have some martial arts foundation, but it was strange and unclear.
However, no matter how strange and difficult it was to understand, he was clearly a kid who did not even have a Grandmaster!
In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, the cultivation realm could be divided into:
Second-rate, first-rate, Postnatal, Connate, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, Martial Dao Paramount Realm, Martial Dao Celestial, Land Deity!
The Martial Arts Pinnacle Realm was the pinnacle of martial arts. It was usually the study of a certain martial art to the pinnacle that mortals could comprehend.
After that, he would be able to open up his spiritual aperture and open up the connection with the fate of heaven and earth. He would no longer just be cultivating on his own, so he would be able to reach the realm of the martial arts Celestial Being.
After becoming a celestial being, those who had gathered their luck to the peak could open the heavenly gate without entering. They were immortals on land!
The green-robed woman could not help but fall into deep thought. She did not know what realm one had to cultivate to be able to enter this golden ranking!
……
At this moment, purple qi appeared on the golden list in the sky and gathered on the scroll that stretched across 10,000 miles.
The tenth assassin was about to appear!
