Chapter 958: The Warden is a Girl?

Price hike?

Damn it, one punch for one Immortal Artifact was already outrageous enough, and now he wants to raise the price?

The many prisoners in the hall stared wide-eyed, their chests feeling tight, vaguely sensing that they were really about to vomit blood this time.

The key was that Er Gouzi had taken a punch and was completely fine, while the cultivator who hit it had suffered a fracture on the spot.

What kind of physical body is this? Even an Earth Immortal stage expert probably couldn't achieve this!

"Fellow Daoist, didn't we agree on one punch for one Immortal Artifact? You are..." Finally, a prisoner couldn't hold back and spoke up.

Xu Que shook his head: "It won't work anymore. That was the previous price; now, changes must be made. I really can't bear to see my pet being hit like this!"

"But... but we don't have that many Immortal Artifacts left!" Everyone looked bitter.

"Is that so? Then that's perfect, the deal is canceled. Anyway, those Immortal Artifacts of yours are useless even if I take them back; either I give them to the kids to play with, or I throw them into the storage room," Xu Que said with extreme disdain.

Everyone's mouth twitched instantly, feeling insulted.

The Immortal Artifacts they treated like treasures were only fit to be toys and junk in Xu Que's eyes—this is the series of "people being compared to people will make you die of anger."

"Fellow Daoist, don't be like this, let's talk this over. How about this: you save us first, and as for the remaining Immortal Artifacts, if we have the chance to obtain them in the future, we'll return them to you, how about that?" Someone spoke up, looking sincere.

"Return my ass, I've never liked being owed debts!" Xu Que waved his hand, rejecting the credit!

He wouldn't believe that this group of people would return his Immortal Artifacts in the future; he feared that the next time they met, this group would be dying to kill him!

"How about this: one Immortal Artifact for one punch is definitely impossible now, but one Immortal Artifact for one touch is still no problem!" At this moment, Xu Que proposed a new condition.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Just a touch?

Damn, can a touch be useful?

"Come, come, come, who wants to be the first? One Immortal Artifact for one touch. If you aren't quick, the price might go up again later!" Xu Que began to hawk his wares.

Upon hearing this, everyone became anxious immediately. Several prisoners who had Immortal Artifacts hurriedly squeezed forward: "Fellow Daoist, let me go first!"

"No, no, no, I was first!"

"Damn, I was the first to raise my hand!"

"Bullshit, I was the first to take out an Immortal Artifact!"

Several people scrambled, truly afraid of Xu Que. This guy didn't follow the rules or routines at all, yet they had no way to deal with him.

"Alright, stop arguing. The one with the lamp goes first. This lamp of yours seems quite good; I can take it home to use as a candlestick!" Finally, Xu Que pointed to one of them and said.

That prisoner was holding an ancient bronze lamp, very dilapidated, without even a wick, but it still remained at the level of a Half-Grade Immortal Artifact.

"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist!" The prisoner happily handed over the ancient lamp, no longer caring what Xu Que said he would do with it.

For him now, as long as he could leave, that was enough. As for what Xu Que did with their Immortal Artifacts, he felt he could do whatever he wanted!

"Good, remember, only touch, don't hit!" Xu Que nodded and lifted Er Gouzi.

The prisoner immediately reached out his palm, *pat*, gently tapped Er Gouzi's body, and gave it a touch!

"Whoosh!"

Instantly, the Good and Evil Jade Tablet on his body changed; the Evil value was quickly cleared, and the Good value rose to over a dozen points.

"This... it actually succeeded?"

The prisoner was stunned, and then his eyes were filled with surprise.

The next moment, the void twisted slightly, and a powerful pulling force suddenly appeared, sweeping him up and making him disappear from the cell.

The entire prison cell fell silent once again; everyone was somewhat stunned, finding it hard to believe.

Just by touching Er Gouzi, one could actually obtain so much Goodness Value! If you count the offset Evil Value, this adds up to over a hundred points of Goodness Value in total!

"Impressive, he truly lives up to the name 'Evil Gou Zi'!" someone exclaimed, interpreting the "Er Gouzi" that Xu Que called him as "Evil Gou Zi"!

"It seems it works. Come, is there anyone else who wants to continue? You'd better hurry; I'm in a rush to get to the Level Eight Futu Prison!" Xu Que urged with a beaming smile.

They had never imagined that Er Gouzi would actually have a day like this, where he could be used to earn Immortal Artifacts like this—he was simply an Immortal Artifact harvester!

However, this could also be considered a rare opportunity. First, one had to have this kind of bizarre place where Goodness Value became so precious, and then one had to turn Er Gouzi into an "Evil Gou Zi" so that others could earn so much Goodness Value just by touching him once.

Achieving so many conditions at the same time was actually not that easy!

In the end, several people in succession handed over their Immortal Artifacts, all of them Half-Grade Immortal Artifacts; there wasn't even a single Lower-Grade Immortal Artifact among them.

Moreover, most of these Half-Grade Immortal Artifacts were of no use to Xu Que.

On the contrary, Xu Que felt that the broken sword from the beginning could be used to play around with. As for that ancient lamp without a wick, he couldn't figure out what it could be used for either; he would have to find time to study it further.

Out of the dozen or so prisoners, half had left just like that. The remaining half either only had incomplete Immortal Artifacts that didn't even reach the Half-Grade level, or they had no Immortal Artifacts or treasures at all, and they were just standing there, staring eagerly at Xu Que.

The front and back of the walkway were also surrounded by numerous jailers. No one made a move; they just stared dead at Xu Que the entire time.

They didn't care about the other escaped prisoners; the only thorn in their side now was Xu Que. As long as the Warden arrived, this guy would be sent into the Level Eight Futu Prison, and only then would they be able to vent their anger!

"Alright, since none of you have Immortal Artifacts, I will show mercy and grant you one chance to leave!" At this moment, Xu Que looked at the remaining prisoners and said with a beaming smile.

Upon hearing this, the crowd was overjoyed and swarmed forward, eager to touch Er Gouzi.

Xu Que immediately shouted: "Holy crap, line up, line up! Everyone line up for me. Do you have any manners at all? Come, come, come, male prisoners line up and stand straight, come up and touch Er Gouzi. Female prisoners, also form a line and just come up and touch me. Eh? What is the meaning of those expressions? Can you keep your thoughts a bit purer? I am purely doing this to speed up efficiency!"

"Understood, understood!"

"I get it, I get it!"

"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist. We will surely remember this kindness for all eternity!"

The crowd nodded one after another and began to line up, taking turns to come forward and touch Er Gouzi and Xu Que.

In the end, within just a few breaths, one cultivator after another was teleported out of the Futu Prison, successfully returning to the Good and Evil Village.

Xu Que's Acting Cool Points also surged crazily at this moment.

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Obtained 23,000 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Obtained 25,000 Acting Cool Points!"

As the continuous notification sounds rang out, Xu Que was momentarily stunned. Before long, his Acting Cool Points had surged by over 80,000 in one go.

"Holy crap, what is the situation? Could it be that after these people went out, they went to brag to others about this King of Acting Cool's great deeds?" Xu Que smiled with satisfaction. Seeing that his total Acting Cool Points had returned to over 400,000, he felt delighted inside.

"Boom!"

Just as Xu Que sent away the last prisoner, a dull sound suddenly rang out in the prison cell.

Following closely, a cold wind swept through, accompanied by a powerful pressure that suddenly covered the entire scene.

"Who dares to cause trouble in my Futu Prison?" A cold, scolding voice, crisp as a silver bell, came from all directions. It seemed very far away, yet also very close; it was extremely eerie.

"Eh? This voice..." Xu Que was suddenly startled. He looked around in astonishment and finally looked at the group of jailers, saying in surprise: "Holy crap, your Warden is a girl? And she actually has a loli voice!"
