Chapter 790: Hu Tao: The Soul-Bewildering Palm that Bewilders the Soul

~5 min read 934 words

"Since you want it, how about 100,000 Mora?"

Bennett scratched his head and said.

He didn't want to ask for too much,

as long as he could earn back the money for reading comics, that would be enough.

"No, I'll give you 1,000,000 Mora!"

Young Master said with a faint smile.

He couldn't really be counted as a good person.

But for this boy whose personality was rather similar to his younger brother's,

he didn't want to take advantage of him.

If it really had the memory-loss effect that Boss Han mentioned,

then even at 1,000,000 Mora, Young Master would still be making out well.

Even if it didn't work on Mr. Zhongli,

it would still be useful for some of the Fatui's operations.

This was something good that was rarely seen!

"1,000,000?!"

Hearing this number, Bennett was completely stunned.

He had never seen so much money in his life!

The most he'd ever had at once was only two or three hundred thousand Mora!

To him, one million was simply an astronomical sum!!

"No, that's too much, I can't take it! 20,000 is enough!"

After coming back to his senses, Bennett quickly shook his head.

Although he only had to nod and the money would be in his hands,

and it could also ease his current predicament,

Bennett, who was pure and kind by nature, didn't want to take advantage of others like that.

"Alright, that's settled, just take it and hold onto it!"

Young Master smiled as he picked up the box, then handed over a large bag of Mora.

What worried him was the matter of tens of millions of Mora.

As for one or two million,

that was nothing.

But seeing the fine character of the boy before him, Young Master was still quite satisfied.

Everyone wants the people they associate with to be good people!

Even if he himself wasn't a good person,

"Thank you so much!"

Seeing the other's resolute attitude, Bennett finally accepted the Mora and said gratefully.

"Don't thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank yourself for coming to this comic shop and getting the reward!"

Young Master waved his hand.

After saying that, he left the comic shop directly.

He was going to go back now and try out the effect.

If it worked, he would immediately go find Mr. Zhongli.

"That's right, the one I should thank most is the comic shop!"

These words enlightened Bennett.

He had always been an unlucky adventurer.

If he hadn't come here, he wouldn't have gotten the reward.

Without the reward, he wouldn't have gotten this one million Mora!

It could be said that

from the moment he entered the comic shop, his fate had changed.

"Boss Han, thank you so much!"

Thinking of this, Bennett quickly expressed his gratitude to Han Feng.

"You're welcome. Just come read comics more often in the future!"

Han Feng said with a light smile.

He hadn't expected this turn of events either.

Young Master actually bought Bennett's reward!

It seemed Bennett's luck was about to turn.

But what he was even more curious about was

why Young Master was interested in this Forget-Worry Gu?

Was it for the Fatui's needs, or did he have some personal requirement?

This piqued Han Feng's curiosity a little.

"Definitely, I'll drag Lei Ze over later!"

Bennett nodded repeatedly.

But for now, he still needed to pay back the money he had borrowed.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly bade Boss Han farewell, then rushed out of the comic shop.

Not long after the two left,

Hu Tao came bouncing over.

"Hehe, boss, I finished reading the comic again!"

Hu Tao leaned up to the counter and said with a beaming smile.

Every time she finished reading a comic, this was the moment she looked forward to most.

Because all sorts of unexpected magical rewards would be waiting for her!

"Just a moment!"

Han Feng smiled slightly, then looked toward the system.

Right then,

the information had refreshed.

【Customer Hu Tao has finished reading "The Return of the Condor Heroes," and obtained the reward — Heartbreak Palm.】

【Heartbreak Palm: A palm art created by Yang Guo, comprising seventeen moves in total. Its name originates from "Only in sorrow does the soul depart, for parting is all there is." One must possess a heartbroken state of mind to unleash its full power.

Of the Five Absolutes, "Eastern Heretic" Huang Yaoshi said that among all the world, only Guo Jing's Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms could match its fierce might.】

【Note: After modification by the system, no special state of mind is required — it can be used directly! It also comes with an additional soul-enchanting effect!】

"A soul-enchanting effect?!"

Seeing this special note, Han Feng's expression turned a little strange.

He only knew that Heartbreak Rice could make people cry,

and now Heartbreak Palm also came with an added effect?

If Yang Guo found out, he'd absolutely be "thrilled" beyond belief, right?

Hum—

A streak of dazzling light descended from the sky, enveloping Hu Tao's body.

Sensing a stream of information flooding into her mind, Hu Tao hurriedly closed her eyes.

A moment later, the light dissipated.

After receiving the message, Hu Tao slowly opened her eyes, a hint of surprise in her pupils.

"It's actually a palm art!"

"Mm, a palm art created by Yang Guo by gathering the martial arts of five great masters — 'Eastern Heretic,' 'Western Venom,' 'Northern Beggar,' 'Central Divine,' and 'Sword Demon' —

and combining them with the essence of his own sect's teachings into a single body. Its might is considerable."
