Shameless

Liu Ruyan was shocked by the sudden change, her heart was throbbing like never before.

She felt the thrill was no less than her first kiss.

But to her dismay, no matter what Liu Ruyan did, she couldn't communicate with the lotus petal suspended in the centre of her consciousness.

 "Am I missing something?"

She racked her brain, trying to think of all possibilities.

 "Since this thing is a unique treasure of the cultivation world, there must be something required as a stimulus..."

 "What is the most important thing in this world that can provide energy?"

Suddenly, her eyes brighten up.

 "Yes, how could I forget it?"

 "It must be that damnn spirit stone for which I was beaten as soon as I transmigrated."

But with the same momentum, her eyes dimmed.

 "Where can I find that spirit stone?"

 "It's still a month away to get that guaranteed outer sect cultivation resource quota."

"Let's first clean myself."

Not thinking much, Liu Ruyan started changing her shabby clothes to a clean one, after taking a bath, she went to the sect's marketplace.

Here many disciples and elders would sell countless miscellaneous things.

Since the cultivation resources provided by the sect were always a few spirit stones unless you were a core disciple, many fellow cultivators opened stalls or did third-rate jobs in mortal cities.

As long as you didn't kill a fellow sect disciple without a reason or commit treason, the sect didn't bother to pay attention to what you did.

Liu Riyan looked at each stall with a businesswoman-like look, trying to find where she could earn a free spirit stone.

She didn't have to wait long. Soon she found what she was looking for.

Her footsteps rushed to a small stall.

Even if the stall was small, it still attracted an appreciable crowd.

There a man in black robes was shouting, " Come and try your luck, fellow practitioners!"

 "All you have to do is tell me in which hand I have the spirit stone!"

"You can pay after you win, don't worry this young man will cheat after you win, all the people present here are the eyewitnesses."

The stall owner spoke loudly, his face was covered with a big smile, probably he had already amassed a lot of spirit stones in this way.

Liu Ruyan immediately understood the rules of the games, it was quite similar to the fake coin trick used by those scammers to cheat tourists in her previous life.

Seeing no one come in front, the stall owner felt worried.

 'Did I cheat too many people and now everyone is scared to play?'

 'It seems I need to find a new trick to keep scamming.'

Just when he was about to give up, from the crowd Liu Ruyan stood forward.

"I will play. Let's get started."

 "Okay!" The man with black robes was full of smiles.

 'Haha, another foolish girl came to give me her spirit stones.'

Like some magic trick, the stall owner pulled a spirit stone from inside his robe and put it on the table, then with some exaggerated acting skills, he put two identical small boxes on the table.

 "You need to guess in which box the spirit stone is after I finish shuffling!"

Without wasting any time, he covered the spirit stone with one of the boxes and started shuffling on the table.

After a minute, he viciously looked at Liu Ruyan,

 "Okay, now tell me in which box the spirit stone is!"

His face was full of contempt, thinking she was a naive girl.

 "Liu Ruyan smiled."

 "Are we still pretending?"

 "How can there be a spirit stone inside a box?"

 "Didn't you secretly install a small hole in the back of the table and use it to smuggle the spirit stone out of our eyes when we were busy watching you shuffling?"

The stall owner's face was instantly drained of its original colours.

 "What are you saying, I Don't want to play today, I need to go home urgently."

He shouted hysterically.

But how could Liu Ruyan give her this chance?

As a tourist who was once scammed, she learned the lesson the hard way.

When dealing with a scammer, you must catch them on the spot and make a scene, it is even better if you can beat the scammer, the law will always be on your side.

Liu Ruyan rushed and instantaneously lifted the two boxes.

To everyone's surprise, as soon as she lifted the two boxes, both were empty.

The most panicked person was without a doubt the stall owner.

Liu Ruyan went a step further and punched hard on the table.

Due to the violent impact, a small wooden piece fell leaving behind a sneaky hole.

"Is this how you cheated?"

Liu Ruyan's voice suddenly became playful.

"Hurry and give me that Spirt stone or I will make a scene."

"Don't think about running away or I will report you to the discipline committee, then you might end up spitting more than you chewed."

With a quick action, Liu Ruyan blocked his path of retreat.

"Don't dream!….. That is a middle-grade spirit stone which is equal to at least 1000 low-grade spirit stones. I will never give it!"

The stall owner who was caught red-handed roared at the top of his lungs.

But he forgot Liu Ruyan was someone who was from the modern world, she had watched plenty of shameless people.

The only way to deal with such shameless people was to act even more shamelessly.

The grip of Liu Ruyan's on the stall owner's hand tightened as she started causing a commotion.

"Is there no righteousness left in the world?"

"A fellow disciple is openly cheating his peers so blatantly."

"Where are the discipline committee members? Are they going to let this perpetrator keep robbing innocent disciples?"

"I, Liu Ruyan, believe there are still many good people left in this sect that won't allow others to be bullied."

-Liu Ruyan sobbed pitifully.

Her fake tears were enough to tighten the stall owner's heart.

He knew this girl was playing a snitch, but he was helpless.

Watching the growing crowd, he felt even more scared.

'Damn I need to run away fast or I might really be caught by those stingy discipline committee members.'

He knew as long as he ran away he could make a comeback, but if he is caught and apprehended, he may have to cough up all his life's savings.

"Bitch! Don't think you have won! Remember, my name won't be Chu Fang if I don't take revenge on you!"

"This hatred is irreconcilable!"

Throwing the middle-grade Spirit stone towards Liu Ruyan, Chu Fang alarmingly ran away.

His footsteps were so hastened that he even forgot to close his stall.
