Flender Gets Played

"I think you're right. Business is a process of bargaining. You really are generous, old brother!"

As he spoke, Yun Feng walked back into the shop with Flender.

Seeing that his little bit of money was about to return, Flender was delighted as well.

Though he had lost two hundred Gold Soul Coins, he was still making a clean profit of three hundred!

It was not a loss. Leaving it here would only make it junk anyway; no one had even looked at it.

After all, the purpose of opening this shop was to swindle whoever he could.

One successful scam could feed him for half a year!

It had been a long time since he last made a sale.

That Tang San from before was his good brother's disciple, so he had not made him pay a single coin. Tang San really had not paid him anything either.

After all, courting Xiao Wu cost money too, did it not?

So Flender had to keep Yun Feng here.

After returning to the shop, Flender smiled so broadly that the wrinkles on his face bunched together. He grabbed the ring-shaped Soul Tool and stuffed it straight into Yun Feng's hands.

"Young friend, the Soul Tool is yours. As for your—"

As Flender spoke, he rubbed his hands together.

Yet under Flender's watchful gaze, Yun Feng merely smiled and shook his head.

"Boss, you said it yourself: business is a process of bargaining. After your little lesson, I've thought it through. I don't think this thing is of much use to me."

"I don't really want to buy it anymore. What a pity!"

When Yun Feng said that, Flender's expression froze.

His eyes, fixed on Yun Feng, were filled with regret. He finally understood.

This boy was getting back at him for trying to scam him earlier.

After taking a deep breath, Flender's smile vanished.

"Kid, are you playing me?"

Flender's aura steadily accumulated bit by bit, and Yun Feng felt an unprecedented pressure.

Yun Feng inwardly sighed. This old fox had truly snapped. Still, the pressure of a Spirit Saint was not something an ordinary person could withstand.

Even beneath that pressure, Yun Feng continued smiling.

"How could that be? I sincerely wanted to buy it, but I don't think this Soul Tool is worth that price."

Upon hearing that, Flender's aura instantly dissipated.

After eyeing Yun Feng suspiciously, he asked subconsciously,

"Then how much do you think it's worth?"

Yun Feng held up three fingers.

Flender looked at him in confusion.

"Isn't that still three hundred?"

Yun Feng shook his head and said directly,

"I meant thirty. Sell it if you want; if not, I still need to buy a few other things before going to register."

The first half of Yun Feng's words instantly reignited Flender's anger.

But the latter half made him hesitate.

"You said register? Register for what?"

Yun Feng answered without any concern,

"Of course, I'm going to register at Shrek Academy. Boss, are you selling it or not? Say something!"

After hearing that, Flender took a deep breath, forced a smile onto his face, and said through gritted teeth,

"Of course I'm selling it. Thirty it is. Take it."

Yun Feng did not hesitate. He took out thirty Copper Soul Coins and slapped them onto the counter before Flender, then casually took the ring-shaped Soul Tool away.

After watching Yun Feng leave, a faint smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Flender's lips.

"This is getting more and more interesting. Every one of them is so impressive. Just wait until you get to my academy—I'll make sure to scam every last coin out of you!"

Flender was no weakling. Naturally, he had noticed Yun Feng's true level. At that age and with that level, even within Spirit Hall, Yun Feng would be in a class of his own.

Since Yun Feng had come here, Flender naturally would not let him go.

Just as he watched Yun Feng's figure disappear into the distance and happily prepared to collect the money and sit down,

he noticed that something seemed off about the coins on the counter.

"How many?"

"Th-th-thirty Copper Soul Coins!!!!"

"AAAAAAAH--------"

"You little thief!!!"

Yun Feng, who had already gone far away, immediately burst out laughing upon hearing that.

Ah Yin was stunned after watching Yun Feng's entire scheme. He could do that?

From one thousand Gold Soul Coins down to thirty Copper Soul Coins—this was simply incredible!

As a woman, she could not compare!

Sensing Ah Yin's thoughts, Yun Feng merely said lightly,

"I said thirty. I never said thirty Gold Soul Coins. Thirty could also mean Copper Soul Coins!"

Ah Yin truly admired Yun Feng now.

"You know he's a Spirit Saint, yet you still dared to do this? Aren't you afraid he'll kill you?"

Yun Feng chuckled upon hearing that.

"He still has roots here. He's a rational man, and probably a 'devoted' one as well. Before he fulfills that vague promise and proves himself, he won't do something like that."

"Besides, I let a little of my Soul Power leak out. With his senses, there's no way he didn't notice my true level. And since I said I wanted to join Shrek Academy, how could he possibly make a move against me?"

Ah Yin looked at Yun Feng, unsure how to respond. Only after a long while did she say,

"He's the headmaster of Shrek Academy?"

Yun Feng smiled. "Didn't you already get the answer from my mind?"

After looking around, Yun Feng soon spotted a rather distinctive hotel.

The hotel was three stories tall. Though it was not particularly large, its exterior was entirely decorated in rose red. The entire building was styled like an enormous rose, making it instantly eye-catching.

Yun Feng seemed to think of something and headed inside.

Upon entering the Rose Hotel, the first thing he noticed was the rich fragrance of roses. The refreshing scent carried a hint of intimacy, putting both body and mind at ease.

The hotel's interior used only three colors: white, silver, and rose red. It was warm and distinctive, and the elegant surroundings easily left a favorable impression.

"Please get me a room."

The attendant behind the counter hurriedly stood up. Seeing that Yun Feng was alone, he tilted his head and looked behind Yun Feng again.

"Sir, is it just you?"

Yun Feng was instantly speechless upon hearing that.

"Just tell me whether you can give me one or not!"

Feeling the aura emanating from the young man before him, the attendant hurriedly nodded.

"Yes, yes, we can!"

After taking the key handed over by the attendant, Yun Feng headed straight upstairs.

The Rose Hotel's decor was highly appealing. Its simple, comfortable color scheme and the faint scent of roses throughout the hotel made one feel relaxed and refreshed.

At the innermost end of the top floor, Yun Feng found the door marked Red Ocean.

There were only a few rooms on the top floor. The signs on the doors ahead included Blue Enchantress, Pink Tenderness, Yellow Sincerity, White Innocence, Green Parting, and so on.
