Chapter 171
**Chapter 221: Ultimately, the Price of Knowledge**
Wu Xi mused, "It should be an SSS-grade item, right? Otherwise, why would so many big shots be fighting over it? But whatever, this alien doesn’t know if I’m telling the truth or not."
Yu Xun Ge replied, "Do you really think I’d believe you just because you said so? Show it to me."
As she spoke, she began to guide Wu Xi's thoughts—*This person doesn’t look easy to fool. What if I keep playing games and her dragon ends up killing me? Would the Moon Blade Emperor dare to seek out the dragon clan for me?*
*Maybe I should just show her something to keep her calm.*
The more Wu Xi thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. He took a few steps back, leaned against a large tree, and pulled out an item. After showing it to Yu Xun Ge for three seconds, he quickly tucked it away.
Yu Xun Ge: !
Another piece of "mahjong"?!
It bore the inscription of the undead—[Fifty Thousand].
Is this a fragment of an SSS-grade item?
No, Wu Xi wasn’t sure, but according to his words, this was something that even the big shots of Zelan would fight over?
Yu Xun Ge’s mind raced, but her expression remained calm. "What is this? I can’t see any description."
Wu Xi never expected this person could recognize items.
*Oh no, she won’t think I’m trying to trick her, will she?*
*But the true value of this bone tile isn’t something just anyone knows…*
*If it weren’t for the Moon Blade personally coming to my house to buy a tile from my mother, I wouldn’t have known how precious this thing is…*
*Five bottles of epic potions and five legendary gems! And the Moon Blade made them herself, even personally granting me the fragrant blade just to trade for this tile.*
*What should I say? If I tell the truth, she definitely won’t let me go.*
Yu Xun Ge drank a bottle of intermediate mana potion, her resolve to kill this moon fox growing stronger.
She said, "This thing is mine to begin with. There’s no way I’m giving it up. I’d rather kill you so that neither of us gets it. I won’t let my things fall into someone else’s hands."
Wu Xi’s expression showed a hint of hesitation.
But his inner voice was filled with disdain: *Who doesn’t know how to threaten others? Even if I can’t get this tile, once I find a safe place, I’ll immediately send this tile and the cat den’s information back.*

**Chapter 222: [Drone]: If it flies any longer, it’ll be gone**
Yu Xun Ge proposed, "How about we both take a step back? You return the tile to me, and I’ll give you a bottle of intermediate forgetfulness potion to drink, then I’ll let you go."
Wu Xi replied, "You can’t kill me. I have the fragrant blade personally marked by the Moon Blade Emperor. If you kill me, you’ll be marked too. Even if my emperor doesn’t seek out the dragon clan for me, you definitely won’t escape."
Yu Xun Ge laughed, "Fragrant blade? Never heard of it. I don’t believe you. Haha, that’s hilarious. Who’s afraid of that?"
She was laughing, but deep down, she was terrified…
Although she didn’t know the exact effects of the fragrant blade, she understood how deeply the Moon Fox clan studied scents. Not to mention, she had no desire to get involved with the Moon Blade Emperor.
…In the end, she was suffering from the consequences of being too knowledgeable.
The standoff between one person, one dragon, and one moon fox lasted several minutes.
During this time, Yu Xun Ge listened to Wu Xi’s many complaints about the lack of culture among the Blue Star people, as well as his explanations about the fragrant blade—how if he died, the fragrant blade would transfer to Yu Xun Ge, and all moon foxes who saw her would know she had killed a member of the moon fox royal family, and the Moon Blade would seek revenge for him.
Yu Xun Ge asked, "Does the fragrant blade mark everyone who has harmed you, or just the one who kills you?"
Wu Xi replied, "Of course it marks everyone who hurt me before I die."
Wu Xi thought, *It’s not that magical; I’m not some big shot… But that’s not wrong. At the moment I die, the fragrant blade will directly mark those closest to me. I’m not lying.*
After getting the answer she wanted, Yu Xun Ge didn’t want to wait any longer. Not only was her mana running low, but the longer she waited, the greater the risk of exposure. This place was no longer remote; someone could hear them at any moment.
She gave Tu Lan a look: Go! Bring him down to low health.
Tu Lan understood immediately and began to cast her skill.
As soon as Yu Xun Ge saw the magical runes lighting up in Tu Lan’s eyes, her heart sank. *Aurora Shield, Aurora Shield, Aurora Shield… again with the Aurora Shield!*
She was almost able to recite the incantation for the Aurora Shield by heart.
She would eventually find a way to get rid of this skill from Tu Lan…
Forget it… I’ll handle it myself.
Yu Xun Ge silently told Tu Lan, "Don’t make a sound from now on."
Then she canceled the effect of [We’re Not Familiar, But That’s Okay], pulled out [Crushed Soda Can], tossed it casually, and with a swift kick, the can flew into the woods. Then, she used [I’m in a Hurry] to teleport next to Wu Xi, gently striking out with her palm, sending forth a bloom of ice flowers.
Wu Xi barely managed to dodge, even using a long-cooldown skill. He exclaimed, "You dare!"
Before he could finish the word "dare," he was stunned.
But he specialized in mental skills, so his resistance to such mental attacks was high. In less than a second, he snapped back to reality, having used a very precious skill to evade the ice flowers Yu Xun Ge had sent back at him.
He keenly sensed that it was that object kicked away by the Blue Star person that was problematic, but he couldn’t quite grasp it. He could only start to counterattack at his own pace.
—[Mind Bind]!!
The next second, Wu Xi stood frozen in place, mouth agape, grinning foolishly, drooling like a fool, almost sitting down to gnaw on his big toe.
Yu Xun Ge: Ha~!
Although she couldn’t probe his skill library, she could see Wu Xi’s talent [I’m Starting to Think], which contained divine-given skills related to mental abilities.
She was genuinely worried he might have some other powerful attack skills.
Seeing Wu Xi still drooling, Yu Xun Ge took out an [Intermediate Sleep Potion] that could put someone to sleep for five hours and poured it down his gaping mouth. Then she dragged the unconscious moon fox over to Tu Lan, signaling her to keep an eye on him.
Then she hurried off to retrieve the soda can…
The decisive kick she had given the can earlier was now replaced by a frantic rush to pick it up.
By the time she returned with the can, Tu Lan was still deep in thought. Yu Xun Ge curiously asked, "What’s wrong?"
Tu Lan shot her a resentful glance. "How can I attack if I can’t make a sound? Why did you limit me like this? Is it because I’m too powerful?"
Yu Xun Ge replied, "…Why do you love using the Aurora Shield so much?"
Tu Lan answered, "Because it’s my strongest skill."
Yu Xun Ge sincerely asked, "So, has your Aurora Shield ever hit anyone, from childhood to now?"
Tu Lan: "…"
Tu Lan looked shocked, as if her faith had crumbled, or as if she had discovered a shocking secret: No! Never hit anyone!
Yu Xun Ge felt like she was bullying a slow-witted elementary school student.
Dragging Wu Xi all the way back home, Yu Xun Ge pulled the curtains, placed the moon fox on the floor, skillfully adjusted its luck to 1, and began to use [I Want This, This, and This] repeatedly.
Whenever her health was low, she would eat some food to recover or use the Fountain of Light.
After stealing for over two hours, she finally got back the [Fifty Thousand] after acquiring seven pieces of equipment and five points of intelligence.
She placed [Fifty Thousand] alongside the previous [Six Tube] and [Thirty Thousand], but still couldn’t figure out what they were.
When she had dug out [Thirty Thousand] earlier, she had shown it to Tu Lan, who said she didn’t know what it was. Remembering Wu Xi’s inner thoughts, she asked Tu Lan, "Have you heard any other dragons mention bone tiles in the dragon clan?"
Tu Lan, who was busy gaming, shook her head. "No."
Yu Xun Ge tried to list this item on the auction house to see if it could identify what it was.
But the auction house recognized it as simply two plain words: [Thirty Thousand].
Yu Xun Ge even spent some time searching through all the variations of mahjong in the auction house, but unfortunately, she found nothing. After placing the three bone tiles in an iron box, she directly hid it in the magician’s false teeth.
As long as she collected more, she would eventually find out what they were.
The next question was how to deal with Wu Xi.
Killing him was a certainty.
The question was who should do the killing…
The Liang family? Their defense level must have gone up a notch by now.
The Su family? Not necessary for now; the Su family and Heifei would definitely clash soon, and adding a moon fox could easily be exploited by Yu Xun Huan and Su Yi Tong. They might even use cunning to pit the moon fox against Heifei.
Yu Xun Huan? She was currently with Heifei, and there were definitely special bureau agents monitoring the area. Not a good idea.
Actually, the best choice would be the Han family…
But how could she transport him all that way?
Yu Xun Ge glanced at the time; it was already 5 PM.
Alright, it wouldn’t be too much trouble to send him to the Han family!
Better than keeping Wu Xi here. As long as he was alive, she couldn’t feel at ease, even if he was in a coma. She wouldn’t be able to relax.
Yu Xun Ge bound Wu Xi’s hands and feet, stuffed his ears and mouth, and administered another dose of intermediate sleep potion, finally reducing his health to 20% to ensure she could kill him instantly in case of an emergency.
Then she found a dark delivery bag she had used for moving and wrapped the entire moon fox up in it.
