Killer Queen (GL) - Chapter 9

Luo Yu’s face instantly flushed. Xi Qi gave her a fierce glare from the corner of her eye but offered no explanation. She just nodded to the boss, “I’m here to buy some merchandise.”

Luo Yu felt her bl00d instantly rush upwards, all the way to her brain. For a moment, she was dizzy and disoriented. Cough, cough, cough. She never thought that Xi Qi, who was usually as cold as ice, would be so secretly passionate and have this kind of hobby!

“Great, we just got some new stock recently, and I specifically saved some good items for you.” The boss, seeing a familiar face, smiled like a blooming flower. Luo Yu mused to herself, she never realized Xi Qi was a regular customer here, even having new goods specially reserved for her! Good heavens, what is going on? They had lived together for a year, and she hadn’t discovered any special quirks about her!

The boss was about to step forward to lead the way when he suddenly noticed Luo Yu, who was standing beside them lost in thought. He asked with some hesitation, “And who is this?”

“My friend, one of us, no need to worry.” Undercover police officers occasionally infiltrate the black market, posing as customers. If a transaction like this is caught, the penalty ranges from seven or eight years in prison to life imprisonment or even the death penalty. Naturally, the boss was extremely cautious and meticulous, refusing to do business with anyone who wasn’t a familiar acquaintance. With Xi Qi vouching for her now, the boss finally put his mind at ease.

“This is the first time you’ve brought a friend here.” The boss relaxed a bit, chatting and leading the way forward.

Luo Yu followed behind the two, her eyes scanning the surroundings of the shop. There were whips of varying lengths, striking red candles, and various types of chains. She was walking too fast, and there were many things she hadn’t gotten a clear look at, seeming to be things like a wooden horse, n1pple clamps, and so on. Luo Yu swallowed a mouthful of saliva. So Xi Qi had this kind of perverse interest! And the taste was too damn heavy! Judging by Xi Qi’s queenly demeanor, she was clearly an S. Who did she plan to use these things on? What? This is the first time she’s brought a friend here? Why did she specifically bring me?

Luo Yu couldn’t help but shiver. Xi Qi suddenly turned her head, startling Luo Yu into stepping back two paces.

“What are you dawdling for? Hurry and come in.”

There was another door, and the interior seemed somewhat dim. Luo Yu couldn’t help but wonder if this might be a torture/training room?

However, the world inside the door was completely different from the outside. A dazzling array of weapons immediately met Luo Yu’s eyes. Various models of pistols and sniper rifles were placed on long tables. Kodachi and other types of katana were neatly arranged on shelves. Small, exquisite daggers were densely stored in cabinets, and there were even piles of ready-to-detonate explosives. It was simply an armory. Luo Yu suddenly realized the s3x/fetish shop outside was just a distraction to cover up the real business.

“Pick whatever you like. The bill will be on me.” Since Xi Qi was being so generous, Luo Yu didn’t bother to be polite with her.

She chose a small, black dagger for personal carry, along with some firearms and ammunition. Finally, her eyes landed on a katana displayed in a bulletproof glass case.

“Boss, take that katana out for me to look at.” Seriously, it’s even locked and hidden behind bulletproof glass. What kind of precious item is this?

Seeing a big sale approaching, the boss smiled even more exaggeratedly and quickly complimented her, “Miss, you truly have excellent taste!” This phrase had become second nature to him.

Luo Yu quickly waved her hand and laughed, “I don’t have any great taste. I just saw how much you treasure this item, clearly afraid it would be stolen, so it must be a good thing. That’s why I was curious and asked you to take it out for a look.” She was too embarrassed to accept the compliment.

As soon as Luo Yu finished speaking, the boss’s smile instantly froze slightly. Even Xi Qi, who had been expressionless all along, couldn’t help but curve her lips slightly.

However, the boss had seen countless people—cunning, fierce, difficult, murderous—he had seen it all. The frozen smile slowly returned to normal, and he continued the explanation with a serious demeanor, “**This was personally forged by Hattori Hanzō over three months, and moreover, he has now retired from forging swords. This knife is a rare and unique piece.”

Luo Yu, being from a family of assassins, had naturally heard the name Hattori Hanzō. The Hattori Hanzō family were samurai serving the Tokugawa clan from the Sengoku period to the early Edo period of Japan, and their descendants still exist today. Katana crafted by Hattori Hanzō are always priceless and unavailable in the market. However, Luo Han did have one in his study. Luo Yu had previously asked Luo Han for it, but he hadn’t been willing to give it, telling her to master her sword skills first. Luo Yu had always been coveting it but had to reluctantly restrain herself.

“I’ll take this sword,” Luo Yu said, caressing the hilt, completely captivated.

“Miss, you are truly straightforward!” A sharp glint flashed in the boss’s eyes, and he clapped his hands. He had landed a huge deal today.

“I’m not the one paying, of course I’m straightforward,” Luo Yu said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

The boss choked, feeling as if he had a fish bone stuck in his throat, speechless. He suddenly didn’t know what to say next and secretly glanced at Xi Qi’s expression, as she was the legitimate sugar mama here.

Xi Qi couldn’t help but laugh, shaking her head with a sense of helplessness, but she didn’t refuse.

When checking out, the sword alone cost Xi Qi one million US dollars, and the total of all the other miscellaneous items was less than its fraction. Luo Yu had significantly taken advantage of Xi Qi, and her expression was quite gleeful. Xi Qi didn’t mind much; this was only the price of one job she took a year ago. Now, ‘Qiyue Shiwu’ (July Fifteenth) was only slightly famous. One job only pays a maximum of two to three million, which, divided among three people, is only less than one million Chinese Yuan. Compared to Xi Qi’s former worth, it was a world of difference.

At ten o’clock in the morning, most shops had closed for the day, and the streets appeared somewhat deserted. However, this street, in contrast, was even more bustling and prosperous than during the day, with people swarming around. The shops here were just opening, and people’s nightlife was just beginning.

There were many attractive men and women on the street soliciting customers. Even on a street filled with beautiful people, many still gazed at Xi Qi, the more frivolous ones even whistling. However, due to her icy cold gaze, the men dared not approach her for a chat.

In the night, Xi Qi’s cold and stunning beauty, like a luminous pearl emitting a serene, cold light, was breathtaking under the moonlight. Among the passionate men and women, she was even more like a piece of refreshing cold jade, carrying a seductive magic.

Luo Yu watched the men who were not afraid of death, whistling at Xi Qi and even trying to reach out and touch her. She couldn’t help but worry that Xi Qi might suddenly erupt in anger, resulting in bloodshed on the spot. Xi Qi was not angered; she completely ignored everyone around her. How could a group of irrelevant people provoke her? Of course, if those people dared to touch her, she wouldn’t mind slicing off that hairy paw with a single stroke!
