Indeed, upon reaching the highest floor, she finally saw what she wanted. She picked two daggers and strapped them to her pant legs, then walked into a shop selling Crossbows. The variety of Crossbows amazed her.
At that moment, the shop owner approached her. After sizing her up with keen eyes for a while, he smiled and said, "Miss Exorcist, what kind of Crossbow are you looking for? I can introduce you to some options!"
Xiang Xueer turned to look at the shop owner, who appeared to be around thirty years old, exuding an air of confidence and authority. It seemed he was quite skilled. She raised an eyebrow and pointed to a Crossbow on the wall, saying, "Could you take that down for me to have a look?"
The owner glanced at the wall and immediately smiled. "You can tell you're an expert; this repeating Crossbow has a silver blade that is capable of dealing with high-level demons."
"Silver? What does that mean?" Xiang Xueer took the Crossbow in her hands and weighed it. The frame was made of high-quality wood, sturdy yet lightweight and durable—indeed a good weapon.
The owner seemed puzzled by her question as he stared at the family crest on her arm. "I don't think I'm mistaken; that is definitely the authentic crest of the Ouyang Family. It's different from what we sell here. Don't you know that weapons for exorcism must be made of silver?"
So that's how it is. Xiang Xueer didn't have a deep understanding of Exorcists yet, but she wasn't afraid to show her ignorance. She smiled and said, "I'm just starting out; there are many things I don't understand. It seems you're the real expert here—please tell me more!"
"Understood! Since you want to hear it, I'll explain how these weapons work!" The owner took a Crossbow from the wall and removed a short arrow from inside. "Crossbows are widely used among Exorcists. The wooden body is soaked in Black Dog Blood, which can drive away demons possessing humans. The silver tip can directly kill demons. This repeating Crossbow in your hands can fire ten arrows at once—it's truly the King of Crossbows!"
I see now, Xiang Xueer nodded. It seems that the Bone-Piercing Nails used by Ouyang Zhentian were also soaked in Black Dog Blood to specifically drive away demons possessing people; there are indeed many types of exorcism weapons.
"Since that's the case, I'll take this Crossbow! I often use hidden weapons anyway! What's the price?" Xiang Xueer confidently pulled out silver from her pocket, but the owner immediately said, "Two hundred taels of silver!"
"What?! Are you using x-ray vision?" Xiang Xueer glared at him in frustration. After buying a silver dagger, she only had two hundred taels left.
Seeing her grip tightly on the silver without letting go, the man laughed. "You get what you pay for! I could tell at first glance that you're not an ordinary person; you'll surely achieve great things one day—why would you care about this little money?"
His words were flattering, but without weapons, she truly felt handicapped. She held back her frustration and still bought the Crossbow along with an additional hundred short arrows; it was considered a significant accomplishment.
"All the money is spent, forget it, let's go!" Xiang Xueer said while rummaging through her purse, finding only a few copper coins, unsure if it was enough to buy a Dog-Biting Bun.
Just as she was about to head downstairs, she suddenly looked up and saw Li Yunyang standing in front of a Sword Shop, drooling as he stared at the dazzling array of long swords inside.
"Hey, what are you looking at? Is there a Dog-Biting Bun?" Xiang Xueer walked over and nudged him. Li Yunyang pouted and pointed at a long sword hanging high on the wall, engraved with two dragons: "This sword looks so cool, I think I want it!"
Xiang Xueer frowned as she glanced at the sword he was interested in. Besides its good looks, it was large and appeared very heavy. If used for exorcism, she figured he would probably be done for before even drawing it.
"Come on, stop looking, let's go! These are all second-rate weapons; there's not a single one I like!" Xiang Xueer said as she pulled him away, ready to leave.
Suddenly, a deep voice came from inside the shop. A tall figure stepped out, visibly angry: "Where did this little girl come from, talking so arrogantly?"
"Hmph! How dare you say I'm being arrogant! I am..." Xiang Xueer opened her mouth in shock because before she could finish her sentence with 'arrogant,' she froze. The man in front of her was tall and imposing, with long black hair slightly swept back. His handsome brows and defined features were striking. Beneath a thin white shirt, his bronze muscles were subtly visible, making her gasp.
Oh my God, a Handsome Guy! And one with at least six-pack abs! He exuded the wildness of a mature man, and what she loved most was that bronzed skin.
Xiang Xueer glanced sideways at Li Yunyang. Although they shared similar skin tones, this little brat was simply worlds apart from the handsome guy next to him—there was no comparison whatsoever.
The Handsome Guy stared at Xiang Xueer for a long time, scrutinizing her. After a moment, he stepped forward with a cold smile: "Is it you? Saying my weapons are second-rate?"
"This... this..." Xiang Xueer felt a bit frustrated. She had finally encountered an eye-catching handsome guy and had inadvertently offended him. But being questioned like this made it impossible for her to just walk away; that would be too embarrassing.
"Ahem!" She stepped forward, cleared her throat, placed her hands on her hips, and struck a pose: "I just said that the weapons you forge aren't what I'm looking for!"
"What?" The Handsome Guy squinted his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed. "Interesting, I've never seen an exorcism weapon that I, the Fire King, haven't encountered before. As long as I've seen it, I can forge it!"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Xueer immediately became confident. She swaggered forward and dramatically pulled out the disassembly diagram of the AK47 that she had drawn at the blacksmith shop that day, presenting it to the man known as the Fire King.
The Fire King stared at the diagram back and forth for a while, finally furrowing his brows into two deep lines. "What is this? Are you sure this is an exorcism weapon?"
"Hmph! Not familiar with it, huh?" Xiang Xueer shook it in her hand. "This is called an AK47. It's normal if you haven't seen it before. Aren't you supposed to be able to forge any weapon? Then forge this gun for me!"
"Ah?" Li Yunyang, standing nearby, rubbed his nose. "No way! I mean, Dead Girl, are you still obsessed with this gun? Last time it hit my foot like a hidden weapon!"
"Shut up! It's impossible to communicate with you!" Xiang Xueer turned around and scolded him, then looked up at the Fire King. "So, what do you say, Fire King? Are you going to forge it or not?"
The Fire King, 30 years old, was the most famous weapon smith in the Exorcism Realm. He was skilled in forging all kinds of exorcism weapons, and many Exorcists were willing to pay handsomely for custom-made weapons from him. He was often obsessed with forging various weapons by the furnace, earning him the title of 'Fire King.'
"Alright, I, Fire King, am willing to accept the challenge! If this weapon you mentioned is truly impressive, I'll forge it for free!" The Fire King readily accepted the challenge and walked over to raise his hand. "Then let's seal our agreement with a handshake!"
"Hehe!" Xiang Xueer chuckled inwardly and walked over calmly. They shook hands as a promise. In her mind, her little scheme was to spend some time with the Handsome Guy under the pretense of forging the AK47. She nodded and said, "Since we've made an agreement, there are many special requirements for this gun that I need to discuss with you, such as gunpowder!"
"Gunpowder? What is gunpowder?" The two chatted happily as they walked toward the back of the shop.
Li Yunyang stood in place, blinking his eyes at Xiang Xueer with an extremely displeased expression. "What does this Dead Girl want? She can't possibly have taken a liking to that man."
