That night, Trunks drank without end, his eyes red and sobbing incessantly. Han Shuo wanted to say a few words of comfort, but it was to no avail. He seemed to have completely forgotten about the people and things around him, drowning in his pain and unable to extricate himself.
That night, Han Shuo took out three of the remaining five Rebirth Pills, one for Odysseus, Gordon, and Aphrodite, and the other two for Trunks and Emily.
At noon, Han Shuo left the Soul Destroyer mercenary band and headed to the Valley of Sunshine alone.
The fierce battle outside didn't affect the merchants of the Tanai of the Glorious Sun Valley. They had woken up early and were still busy, completely unaware of what had happened last night.
When Han Shuo arrived at the fence, a few members of the Cairo mercenary band recognized Han Shuo and respectfully welcomed Han Shuo inside. Looking around, Han Shuo discovered that the merchants of the Valley of Sunshine hadn't changed much, but the Cairo mercenary band's soldiers were much more serious than usual, walking up and down the streets at a much higher frequency.
Along the way, everyone from the Cairo mercenary band who met Han Shuo respectfully nodded at Han Shuo in greeting. It looked like they already knew about Han Shuo's assistance yesterday.
Last time in the Glorious Sun Tanai, Han Shuo had obtained many precious herbs from the old orc's shop. Now that he'd arrived in the Valley of Sunshine, Han Shuo headed straight for the old orc's shop.
The owner of the shop recognized Han Shuo. When he saw Han Shuo appear, the old orc who had been lying lazily inside hastily stood up with a wide grin and warmly welcomed Han Shuo inside, saying, "Long time no see, haha, what have you taken fancy this time?"
Han Shuo's eyes sparkled with pleasant surprise as he scanned the store. He hurriedly picked up a dozen or so plants and placed them in front of the old orc, chuckling, "I want all of these things. Name a price?"
Apart from the Dragonfly Fruit, Arctic Grass, and Goldmarrow Grass that he'd seen last time, he'd also discovered a Ninejade Flower this time. He was truly overjoyed, thinking that this store could indeed surprise him.
The Nine Jade Flower had nine petals, and they were sparkling and translucent like jade, emitting a refreshing fragrance. Using the Nine Jade Flower and a few other spirit herbs, one could refine a Vitality Repairing Pill to treat internal injuries. Among them, the Nine Jade Flower was the main ingredient, and it was very difficult to find.
"Just give me a price!" After experiencing Han Shuo's generosity last time, the old Orc seemed to have realized something and spoke very casually with a smile.
It was easy to imagine how happy Han Shuo was to be able to collect so many precious spirit herbs. He took out two heavy bags of gold coins from his space ring and carelessly tossed them in front of the old orc, saying with a smile, "How about a thousand gold coins?"
"Haha, what a generous young man, thank you very much!" The old orc suddenly grabbed the two bags of gold coins and grinned from his happiness. His mouth was so wide that it seemed as if he was about to eat someone.
"It's you again!" Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the door. Cecilia, one of the three heavyweights of the Dark Mantle, walked in leisurely, her bright eyes looking at Han Shuo and she immediately called out.
Cecilia was wearing a dark purple dress, and her soft long hair casually draped over her shoulders. Two thin middle-aged men followed behind her, their gazes vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
When he turned around and saw Cecilia, Han Shuo also felt a bit surprised. He nodded indifferently at her, gathered the herbs on the table, and was about to leave the shop.
"Hi, beautiful lady, it's nice to see you again. What would you like to order this time?" Cecilia seemed to be a regular customer. When she walked into the shop, the old orc also grinned widely and came over to greet her warmly.
"He's already bought all the things I wanted. Damn it, he's one step ahead of me again." Cecilia frowned at Han Shuo and shouted with some anger.
"This …" The old orc didn't know what to say and spread his hands, indicating that he had no choice.
When Han Shuo was about to leave the shop, he suddenly thought of something and abruptly stopped at the door. He turned around and looked at Cecilia, saying, "Tell me where Emily is, and I'll let you take one of the herbs I have."
When the disappointed Cecilia heard Han Shuo's words, her expression immediately brightened. She looked at Han Shuo and said, "Then, take out the herbs you just collected!"
Nodding his head, Han Shuo took out the herbs he had spent a thousand gold coins to collect and laid them out one by one. He pointed at the herbs on the table and said, "You can take one!"
"I want this one!" Cecilia pointed at the Ninejade Flower and shouted softly.
The corner of his mouth twitched. Han Shuo weighed the pros and cons and suddenly said coldly, "This one won't do, the deal is off!"
The higher-ups of the Dark Mantle should know of Emily's whereabouts. Even if he didn't go through Cecilia, Han Shuo could still ask Candide for help. In addition, it wasn't a big deal that Han Shuo wanted to know Emily's whereabouts. He only wanted to use the Rebirth Pill in his possession to help her be reborn, so he wasn't in a hurry.
However, the Ninejade Flower could only be found by chance and not sought. It was extremely important to Han Shuo. With the Ninejade Flower as the main ingredient, he could completely refine a cauldron of Soul Repairing Pills. Comparing the two, Han Shuo immediately went back on his words.
Cecilia, who had already reached out to take the Ninejade Flower, choked when she heard Han Shuo's "the deal is off". She stood there in a daze for a while and frowned unhappily at Han Shuo, saying, "You're going back on your word!"
"I didn't promise you anything, so it doesn't count as going back on my word. Apart from this herb, I can let you take two of the others, if you're willing! " Han Shuo first put the Ninejade Flower into his space ring, then shrugged his shoulders and said to Cecilia as if nothing had happened.
Cecilia stared blankly at Han Shuo for a while with her bright eyes, then nodded fiercely after a while, saying, "Stingy fellow!"
After taking the two stalks of Extreme Frost Grass, Cecilia glared at Han Shuo before replying, "Emily and I have completed our mission and should have already returned to Ossen City. The person that Emily holds in such high esteem is actually so stingy. I really don't know why she would think so highly of you!"
"That has nothing to do with you!" Han Shuo chuckled, feeling much more at ease after learning of Emily's whereabouts. He thought to himself that he was about to return to Ossen City and that she would likely take the initiative to look for him when the time came. It wouldn't be too late to use the Rebirth Pill to help her cleanse her marrow at that time.
"You, you three aren't allowed to move, otherwise don't blame us for being impolite!" Suddenly, a dozen or so mercenaries from the Cairo mercenary band fiercely surrounded the old orc's shop and aimed several crossbows at Cecilia and the other two.
"What are you doing? Is this how the Cairo mercenary band treats merchants?" Cecilia's face was filled with anger as she looked coldly at the mercenary at the very front.
"We've always been friendly to merchants, but you didn't enter through normal means. Otherwise, we would have a record of you. Come with us!" The mercenary at the front stared unceremoniously at Cecilia and said coldly.
It looked like Cecilia and the other two hadn't entered through the fences and had most likely used some other way. Normally, the Cairo mercenary band wouldn't have discovered them, but after last night's bitter battle, the Cairo mercenary band was now on high alert. Everyone was cautious and cautious, so it was no wonder that they'd discovered the anomaly.
"Mister Brian, be careful and come from there!" The mercenary at the front treated Han Shuo in a completely different manner from how he treated Cecilia. His tone was respectful, sincere, and even a few traces of fawning.
"Mister Brian, our chief knows that you're in the Valley of Sunshine and said that he'll come see you in a moment. As long as you wait a bit, the chief will immediately come see you after he's finished dealing with Tanai. He'll give you the gold coins that he promised you last night, so please wait a bit! "Another mercenary bowed respectfully towards Han Shuo and pleaded.
What's going on here? Cecilia looked at Han Shuo suspiciously, thinking that this fellow was only a Dark Mantle Envoy of the Dark Mantle. How could the hot-tempered and arrogant Laureton allow someone to treat him in such a friendly manner? She really couldn't figure it out! Laureton was famous for being arrogant and difficult to provoke, yet this fellow could make Laureton treat him so respectfully. Strange, truly strange!
"Hey, we're together, you must be mistaken!" Cecilia's mind spun and she suddenly walked to Han Shuo's side with a smile, patting Han Shuo's shoulder as if they were very close!
Han Shuo blanked and glanced sideways at Cecilia. He was about to say something with a cold expression when he heard Cecilia say in a low voice, "We have a mission. We're both members of the Dark Mantle, so if you dare to watch us die, I'll definitely complain to that old fellow Candide when I get back!"
"Heh heh, you must be mistaken!" Cecilia stood shoulder to shoulder with Han Shuo and suddenly relaxed.
"Mm, they're my friends. I promise that they won't do anything to harm the interests of your mercenary band. I'll go to my shop later. If your chief comes, I'll let him know!" Han Shuo smiled faintly and nodded at the mercenaries. He then maliciously hugged Cecilia's waist, making a very ambiguous gesture.
Cecilia's slender waist was plump and firm. The thin dress couldn't hide the astonishing elasticity. Han Shuo couldn't help but praise inwardly when he hugged her like this. Not only was this woman beautiful, even her figure was so seductive.
"So that's how it is!" The mercenary suddenly understood and apologized to Cecilia, "I'm sorry, I didn't know about your relationship with Mister Brian. I've been impolite!"
"Let's go, there's nothing else here. We'll go to other places and take a look. Don't let go of any suspicious people!" The mercenary bowed respectfully to Han Shuo and shouted before leaving with the group of people in front of the door.
