Finally, she looked up, her gaze fixed on Zuo Feng, and whispered, “Mr. Zuo, I choose the beauty-preserving little pepper.”
The two words 'beauty-preserving' were simply too tempting for women, and Xiao Rou couldn't resist the allure.
Zuo Feng nodded slightly and handed the beauty-preserving little pepper to Xiao Rou, but he did not put away the loss crystal.
Xiao Rou's choice of the beauty-preserving little pepper was well within Zuo Feng's expectations.
Xiao Rou was now quite wealthy; loss crystals could be earned again, but if she missed the beauty-preserving little pepper, she might not get another chance.
Zuo Feng then said, “Xiao Rou, do you know who this Shuang Wu is?”
Xiao Rou was slightly startled by his words and shook her head.
Shuang Wu had not been in E City for long and was extremely low-key; if Xiao Rou hadn't been helping Zuo Feng gather information this time, she wouldn't have known of his existence.
A profound look flashed in Zuo Feng's eyes as he slowly said:
“Shuang Wu, whose real name is Jun Wushuang, used to be the leader of H City.
Later, he and my forces clashed, and Peerless Apocalypse was destroyed by me. After escaping the battlefield, he hid in E City.”
Zuo Feng paused here, glanced at Xiao Rou, and then continued, “Jun Wushuang, he is a strong individual who has lit half of the eighth Lotus Seed.”
Xiao Rou gasped, Zuo Feng's words exploding in her mind like a clap of thunder.
What did the eighth Lotus Seed mean?
Even though she was an ordinary person, she knew that no one had even lit the seventh Lotus Seed yet, so the sudden appearance of a strong individual who had lit the eighth Lotus Seed was simply incredible.
She hadn't expected this seemingly unremarkable Shuang Wu to possess such astonishing identity and strength.
Immediately, Xiao Rou's breathing quickened. Such a figure had been defeated by Mr. Zuo and fled to E City.
How terrifying must Mr. Zuo's strength be! Xiao Rou was shocked, but she still trusted Zuo Feng. Although it was incredible, she believed Zuo Feng hadn't lied to her, nor did he need to.
Xiao Rou took a deep breath: “Mr. Zuo, why are you telling me all this?”
Xiao Rou didn't think Mr. Zuo would tell her such important news just for fun.
Zuo Feng smiled slightly, nodding inwardly: This Xiao Rou is indeed not simple, able to calm down so quickly.
Once Zuo Feng's next plan was implemented, Firefly and Jun Wushuang would quickly be exposed in E City, so Zuo Feng didn't mind letting Xiao Rou know directly now.
“Xiao Rou, I'm telling you this because I'm about to issue another E-rank bounty mission. The target is Jun Wushuang. I want everyone in E City to know that there is a strong individual in this world who has lit half of the eighth Lotus Seed. His name is Jun Wushuang, he is from H City, and he is currently in E City!”
Xiao Rou's beautiful eyes widened at his words. She understood what this bounty meant once it was released. Once it was out, the entire E City would be in an uproar, and all forces would be eager to act.
Mr. Zuo was using E City as a blade, and the tip of the blade was pointed at Jun Wushuang.
She had no doubt that as long as Jun Wushuang was a strong individual who had lit half of the eighth Lotus Seed, once this news spread.
Jun Wushuang would surely be besieged by countless strong individuals who had lit the sixth Lotus Seed.
Currently, everyone was stuck at the stage of lighting the sixth Lotus Seed, and everyone yearned for an opportunity to break through.
If Jun Wushuang had a force, he might have some self-preservation ability.
But now he was alone, and he would inevitably become a piece of meat in the eyes of E City's various forces, everyone wanting a bite.
“But Xiao Rou, it's best if no one knows that I issued this bounty. Can you manage that?”
Zuo Feng wasn't worried that people in E City would question the authenticity of the bounty information.
H City was only a day's round trip from E City, and Zuo Feng believed that as soon as the bounty was issued, E City's various forces would quickly verify it, and then Jun Wushuang would have nowhere to hide.
The reason for issuing a bounty instead of secretly spreading the word was that others might not believe it if spread secretly, but a bounty was different, especially an E-rank bounty, which was enough to cause a sensation. Then, people would have to believe it whether they wanted to or not.
Xiao Rou pondered for a moment. She knew very well that once the bounty was issued, Mo Wen Tian Ya and Jun Lin Tian Xia would not only pursue Jun Wushuang but also investigate the person who issued the bounty.
And the Bounty Hall was Mo Wen Tian Ya's property to begin with. Although there was a mechanism for anonymous bounties, she had to ensure foolproof security.
Moreover, if she handled this bounty, she would inevitably enter the sights of Mo Wen Tian Ya and Jun Lin Tian Xia, where crisis and opportunity coexisted.
Xiao Rou nodded slightly, her eyes flashing with determination and intelligence: “Mr. Zuo, the bounty can be issued anonymously. I can handle this. If Mr. Zuo trusts me, you can leave it to me. Even if the higher-ups ask, I will not reveal your information, Mr. Zuo!”
A hint of approval flashed in Zuo Feng's eyes as he nodded: “Good, then I'll leave it to you. Of course, if you encounter danger, it's fine to reveal my identity.”
Zuo Feng then took out eight six-line loss crystals, adding them to the two on the table, making a total of ten, which was just enough to issue an E-rank bounty mission.
Zuo Feng wasn't worried about Xiao Rou revealing his information, and he didn't care. He and Jun Wushuang were already in a death feud; even if Jun Wushuang knew he issued the bounty, it would merely be an early showdown.
However, it was naturally best if he could remain hidden.
As for the E City higher-ups paying attention to him, it was no big deal. Anyway, Jun Wushuang's information had already spread in H City, so he could just say he was from H City then.
Xiao Rou took the loss crystals and immediately bid farewell to Zuo Feng. She was already eager to go and issue the anonymous bounty.
She believed that as long as she handled this bounty, she would definitely make a name for herself in the bounty world, with a boundless future.
As for the risks, she had already weighed them; the rewards far outweighed the dangers, making it worth the gamble.
In the afternoon, another E-rank bounty once again caused a sensation in E City's Bounty Hall. This was a kill bounty, the content as follows:
Kill Jun Wushuang, bounty amount ten six-line loss crystals.
Jun Wushuang was once the leader of H City's Peerless Apocalypse. After Peerless Apocalypse was destroyed, he fled to E City, attempting to unify E City and use its power for revenge.
Jun Wushuang's strength is that of a strong individual who has lit half of the eighth Lotus Seed.
Moreover, Jun Wushuang's photo was clearly posted on the bounty list, and even Jun Wushuang's current address was clearly marked.
This news, like a bombshell, caused a huge uproar in E City.
The appearance of a strong individual who had lit half of the eighth Lotus Seed instantly drove the higher-ups of Mo Wen Tian Ya and Jun Lin Tian Xia mad.
The truth of the news was no longer important. If it was false, they would kill him and get the bounty.
If it was true, once they could capture Jun Wushuang, they could extract the secrets of breaking through bottlenecks from him.
As for Jun Wushuang's formidable strength, though he was a lone wolf, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't withstand a group assault.
As soon as the bounty was issued, it quickly alarmed the higher-ups of Mo Wen Tian Ya and Jun Lin Tian Xia. Neither side hesitated for a moment, immediately organizing elite forces to head straight for Jun Wushuang's location.
At the same time, Zuo Feng also moved quietly, hiding in the shadows.
Zuo Feng naturally didn't have the ability to kill Jun Wushuang, but Fatty could.
Previously, Fatty was only two vertical bars, and his speed and attack made it difficult to kill Jun Wushuang, but now Fatty was three vertical bars, with greatly increased strength.
Coupled with the E City strong individuals wearing down Jun Wushuang's abilities, Fatty still had a great chance to kill Jun Wushuang. Even if Jun Wushuang wanted to run, his speed might not necessarily match Fatty's current speed. Zuo Feng was full of confidence in this plan to kill Jun Wushuang.
