10 Luring the Prey (2/2)

”Wait! I can pay... do you accept rare treasures?” he asked through a twisted facial expression.

'Hmm...this guy seems unwilling to harm me...with his level of power, I'm quite sure he believes he could kill me instantly, so why is he offering to pay?' Fang thought to himself.

Glancing at Tang Yunxin, he sighed in pity. Nodding his head,he gave him the keys.

”Young man, I saw that fight you had with the other man,” Fang began.

Frowning, Tang Yunxin gathered ice energy within his palm. Ready to strike the innkeeper down, he adjusted his Qi circulation. Although it was regrettable, he needed to kill the innkeeper if he said too much.

”You must be tired. So, I've decided you can pay me later on when you have money. I'd rather not cheat you out of your magic artifacts and weapons,” Fang finished.

Shocked, Tang Yunxin stared at the innkeeper. A flash of dying light from the setting sun hit him and a brief halo appeared over the innkeeper's head.

Smiling to himself, Tang Yunxin swore to pay back the innkeeper for his kindness.

'Yes....perfect...now he's indebted to me... and this means that I will benefit immensely! After all, everyone know's that you should treat protagonists well...if you do, they will give you a lot in return because they're all so devoted to their relationships with others...' Fang thought sinisterly.

Now it is not to be said that he was evil. Fang was simply an average, run-of-the-mill man. He did not wish harm on anyone unnecessarily, nor did he wish to completely bury his conscience when faced with ethical issues. He truly felt that he should help out the poor cultivator... if he gained a system by doing it, then so be it!

Prey was prey regardless. However one can catch more bees using honey compared to vinegar, meaning that treating Tang Yunxin nicely now would definitely pay off it the future. Especially with that savory system he had...Fang's mouth watered from smelling the delicious aromas.

'Patience' he counseled himself.

Smiling, he led Tang Yunxin to his room before retiring to his own abode. Thus marked the end to a long day.
