Chapter 738: with translation of chapter title

"Blazing Velvet?!"

Yan Buji looked for a while and, together with Elder Wu Yuan, arrived at the garrison city.

Xiong Ba Tian said that people had come from the Rabbit Tribe, hoping to exchange Blazing Velvet for some special goods, and that a face‑to‑face discussion was needed.

"This is our tribe's Blazing Velvet, friends of the human race, feel free to have a look." A female cultivator stood before them, wearing a pink robe whose hem fluttered in the wind, her figure graceful and slender. Her face was beautiful, skin as white as snow, eyebrows curved like a new moon, a pair of bright eyes sparkling, the corners of her eyes slightly upturned with a hint of charm.

And the most eye‑catching was the pair of long ears on her head; the furry tips twitched occasionally, as if they could hear the slightest sounds around. At this moment, the Rabbit Tribe female cultivator, dressed alluringly, smiled brightly and spoke, her voice clear and pleasant, like a yellow warbler singing in the valley.

Although the demon tribe's appearance resembles humans, they still retain some demon‑tribe traits, such as the long ears and the rabbit‑like fluffy cheeks on their faces.

Yan Buji actually appreciated it, and also noticed that the Rabbit Tribe female cultivator kept glancing at him.

Hmm?

"Cough cough!" Wu Yuan coughed, and Yan Buji lowered his gaze, looking at the fiery red Blazing Velvet on the table.

"Is this the Blazing Velvet?"

"Indeed, my friend, this is the famed Rabbit Tribe Blazing Velvet!" Xiong Ba Tian, seated to one side, introduced: "You should already know the effects of Blazing Velvet; I am merely the introducer. From now on, you handle the trade yourselves; I will stay silent."

Yan Buji nodded.

It seemed the Rabbit Tribe wanted to bypass middlemen; Yan Buji was unsure how much kickback Xiong Ba Tian had taken between them and the demon‑tribe settlement, but he appeared not displeased, suggesting he had taken quite a lot.

The Rabbit Tribe female cultivator smiled, "I am Tu Nuo Duo of the Rabbit Tribe settlement."

"I am Yan Buji of the Great Sinful Sect, and this is Elder Wu Yuan of my sect."

"Nice to meet you, friends." Tu Nuo Duo grabbed her ears and lowered her head.

That seemed to be a Rabbit Tribe custom?

Yan Buji, also not quite clear, got to business: "May I ask what you need, Daoist Tu Nuo Duo?"

"I seek a spiritual herb called Lily Immortal that is produced among the human race; if you can provide it, our tribe will trade Blazing Velvet with you."

Lily Immortal?

Yan Buji had seen Lily Immortal a few times in Zhong Tian City of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, but it seemed very rare.

"Lily Immortal? This kind of spiritual herb can only be cultivated in Lily Immortal Capital, and is extremely scarce on the market. It won't be easy for you to obtain," Wu Yuan frowned.

Lily Immortal Capital is not well known in Zhong Tian Zhi Yu, and Yan Buji was hearing of the place for the first time.

"Of course I know; Lily Immortal Capital lies within your human territory. We cannot go there ourselves, otherwise we wouldn't ask you to procure it," Tu Nuo Duo said.

Indeed.

Wu Yuan and Yan Buji nodded.

"Can we exchange other Spiritual Materials?"

"No, this is our only condition. If you cannot obtain it, we will have to look for someone else," Tu Nuo Duo said.

"Alright, then little friend Tu Nuo Duo has no urgent matters; you're not in a hurry to leave the garrison city, are you?" Wu Yuan asked.

"Not really, nothing else."

"Fine, Hall Master Yan, you stay here to converse with little friend Tu Nuo Duo, and I'll go prepare the rest," Wu Yuan said.

Yan Buji, curious, looked at Wu Yuan and transmitted, "Elder Wu, do you have a way?"

"No. Lily Immortal Capital is not easy to enter; I must go ask Elder Yuan. It seems Tu Nuo Duo has set her sights on your flesh; keep her occupied for a while and make sure she doesn't go looking for anyone else!"

"Ah?"

Wu Yuan gave no further explanation and soon left the garrison city.

Yan Buji wore a puzzled expression.

Am I this old, like a tree about to rot, and a woman could still fancy me?

Xiong Ba Tian and Tu Nuo Duo stood nearby, smiling, "Friends, shall we go have a couple of drinks first?"

"Sure, I have some good wine to share with you, Xiong Dao You; would you, Daoist Tu Nuo Duo, grant us the favor?"

"Then I won't be polite." Tu Nuo Duo smiled, stuck out her pink tongue and licked her lips, exuding an indescribable allure.

Yan Buji wasn't so easily bewitched, but he wondered what this creature intended to do with his body.

Could demon‑tribe cultivators have a habit of eating raw human flesh?

"Friends, although this is your first meeting today, as a testament to human‑demon peace, let's drink this cup!" Xiong Ba Tian lifted a bowl of wine, laughing loudly.

"Good! Since you're so generous, I'll toast Tu Nuo Duo!" Yan Buji laughed, raised his cup, and gulped it down.

Tu Nuo Duo smiled, "Yan… Daoist, you are truly bold; I'll toast you a cup as well!"

As they drank, the two demons and the human laughed heartily, the conversation growing lively.

Xiong Ba Tian, slightly tipsy, waved at Yan Buji: "Friend, you… don't look at Tu Nuo Duo's Nascent Soul stage; she… she is the clan chief's daughter of the Rabbit Tribe!"

Hmm?

Yan Buji looked at Tu Nuo Duo in surprise: "So your background is so noble?"

"Noble? I'm just a tribe chief's daughter; demon tribes have tens of thousands of tribes, a few thousand even, not that valuable." Tu Nuo Duo smiled modestly, though a hint of pride lingered on her face.

Yan Buji nodded, still unsure why Xiong Ba Tian pretended to be drunk to bring this up.

"Friend, I'll tell you, humans and demons aren't that different. Both have male and female pairs. Humans may care about family background, but we…" Xiong Ba Tian stopped, slumped onto the table, and began snoring as if drunk.

"Xiong Dao You is drunk," Yan Buji chuckled.

Interesting, is he planning to matchmake me with Tu Nuo Duo?

It doesn't look like it.

Tu Nuo Duo, cheeks flushed, sat down and raised a cup: "Yan Daoist, have a drink."

"Daoist Tu Nuo Duo, are you also drunk?" Yan Buji asked, a little puzzled.

"Before I ask, Daoist Yan, do you have a family?"

"My former companion has long since departed; now I only seek cultivation," Yan Buji laughed.

"So that's how it is…"

Tu Nuo Duo's actions suddenly grew bold, groping Yan Buji all over.

Yan Buji sensed something was off; a very distinctive scent was radiating from Tu Nuo Duo, and this fellow seemed......

"Daoist friend Tu Nuo Duo, you're drunk; let me escort you back to your room to rest first."

Yan Buji smiled, rose, supported Tu Nuo Duo, and went into her room.

Lying on the table, Xiong Ba Tian slightly raised his head, letting out a sigh: "My friend, giving you a beauty wouldn't be excessive, would it?"

Luckily it didn't keep clinging to me.... My friend, I hope you can have a friendly and pleasant exchange with Tu Nuo Duo.
