Chapter 1181
Chapter 1181: Don’t Touch Unless You’re Going to Buy it. Otherwise, I’ll Slap your Hand
When Luo Ya heard what Fu Di said, she felt that this tool of hers was too ignorant.
As a Class 1 Creation Master, her abilities were limited, and she could not sense Genius’ Diamond grade powers.
However, she could sense the aura of willpower coming from Genius, which indicated that it was a Fantasy Breed fey.
She gasped in amazement. How could one person be so outstanding?
He came from an elite family and had good looks and talent. He was every young girl’s dream partner.
Luo Ya chatted with Lin Yuan endlessly during the journey, and Fu Di stopped trying to insert himself.
However, as he walked behind them, he glared maliciously at Lin Yuan while staring at Genius’ fur with a greedy glint in his eye.
A while later, the group encountered a few alien insects.
Since there were no strong feys in the forest, these alien insects that had been fleeing from the Source Sand managed to survive.
When these alien insects saw Lin Yuan, they immediately cried out and charged toward him.
Unsurprisingly, these alien insects soon died at the hands of the members of the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps.
However, Lin Yuan was surprised that these alien insects that could easily be crushed to death managed to inflict considerable damage to the members of Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps.
Lin Yuan now knew how strong the members of the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps were.
As the sun began to set and after what seemed like endless trudging through the forest, Lin Yuan finally saw 200 tents clustered together past the edge of the forest.
Every tent had a black-haired and black-eyed merchant passionately shouting advertisements of their stall.
The merchants sold their goods while trading for the goods of their customers.
This scene reminded Lin Yuan of the fey marketplace in Redbud City.
Luo Ya had initially wanted to introduce Lin Yuan to some of these merchants from the Great Lush Federation that roamed the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation.
But she remembered that Lin Yuan was a disciple from a secret elite family that was undergoing training, so she felt that there was no way he did not know of the unspoken rules upheld by the merchants from the Great Lush Federation.
As such, she did not offer him any warnings.
The arrival of this large group of about 300 people immediately attracted the attention of all the merchants, and the merchants’ guards summoned their feys to caution off any possible hostile intentions.
Lin Yuan saw that most of the guards’ feys were pinnacle Bronze grade, and only a few were Silver grade.
It was no wonder that the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps were targeting them.
However, if the two sides really started clashing, it was not guaranteed that the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps would be able to dominate the fight.
Fu Di and the other members who had Silver grade would not be in any danger, but some of the weaker members would definitely end up losing their lives.
Lin Yuan felt that with some help, the merchant guards would be able to take down at least 100 members of the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps with them.
From this point of view, it could be seen how stubbornly strong the people from the Startling Lines Continent were.
Spirit qi professionals lived lives that were paved by bloodshed.
Everything that happened in the Radiance Federation had to adhere to rules, and not even thearch-class experts could act as they pleased in the Royal Capital.
Any deep grudges between feys had to be settled through blood pact ultimate fights.

However, at the Startling Lines Continent, rules no longer had the power to dictate the actions of its people. Rather, it could also be said that there were basically no rules in the Startling Lines Continent and nothing was off the table.
The Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps had initially planned on robbing the merchants.
But since Luo Ya had taken a shine to Lin Yuan, who was from the Great Lush Federation, Fu Di had no choice but to hide the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps’ identity and intention.
Fu Di planned on waiting for Lin Yuan’s death to push the blame onto the merchants from the Great Lush Federation before he returned to their original plan.
Thus, Fu Di could not be bothered to put on a friendly act and pretend to negotiate trades with the merchants.
Luo Ya was uninterested in this small merchant group, and the person who was shopping around with the most glee was Lin Yuan.
When he arrived at the first stall, he used True Data to check and learned that he had never encountered many of the spiritual ingredients, fruits, and plant-type feys that were for sale.
There were even some ceramic bottles that were clearly produced in the Divine Wood Federation.
Given that 90% of the people in the bazaar were wearing armor, it was evident that they came from the Iron Hammer Federation, where metal resources were abundant.
It was unsurprising that the merchants’ guards had such a big reaction to the arrival of the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps.
It seemed that this merchant group’s target consumers were people from the Iron Hammer Federation instead of those from the Divine Wood Federation.
As fascinating as these foreign items were, True Data revealed that they did not have utilization, and Lin Yuan was uninterested in them.
He could not see what was inside the ceramic bottles and reached his hand inside.
Just as his hand was about to touch the ceramic bottle, a heavy hand slapped his hand away.
“Boy, don’t you know that you can’t touch things you don’t plan on buying?”
Lin Yuan instinctively lifted his head and saw the stall owner looking at him with displeasure.
Luo Ya hurriedly walked up to fix the situation as she cursed the family that Lin Yuan came from.
As much as they wanted their younger generation to gain experiences from going out to train, how could they not even supply common knowledge?
Nonetheless, Luo Ya started to explain to Lin Yuan seriously, “You can’t touch any of the goods being sold at any bazaar made up of merchants from the Great Lush Federation. Once you touch it, you’ll have to purchase it. Otherwise, you’ll be blacklisted and chased out of the bazaar.”
While she was explaining, she wondered how someone of Lin Yuan’s status would punish the stall owner that had slapped his hand.
Yet, Lin Yuan smiled brightly and said with an apologetic tone, “I’m sorry. This is my first time at a bazaar, and I am not aware of the rules. I didn’t mean to inconvenience you. Can I ask what is in this ceramic pot?”
The young man’s blinding smile and a sincere apology made the burly stall owner slightly embarrassed, and he could not help but think of his son, whot had died at the hands of the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps a year ago.

His son had been around Lin Yuan’s age and would be much more muscular than Lin Yuan if he was still around.
After the man composed his grief-filled thoughts, he first explained why the goods could not be touched.
“When we collect goods, we first check their quality. We’ll keep those of acceptable quality and return the rejects so as to ensure that only the best quality goods are being sold.”
