Xie Feng walked out, muttering to himself:
"Five."
"Four."
"Three."
"Wait!
"Ninety million! Ninety million for one tree! Is that acceptable?!"
Luo Ling gritted her teeth and said.
She still couldn't bear to part with the jade ginseng! It was the store's prized possession! She'd buy it even at a loss!!
really!
My mom's shopping tips from my past life were so useful!
A slight smile appeared on Xie Feng's lips.
"Make a deal!"
He turned around, speaking frankly and laughing heartily.
Luo Ling inexplicably felt like she'd been tricked...
This is definitely not an illusion...
She took out a gold card and handed it to Xie Feng: "180 million Dao Crystal, it's all here! Sir, if you have any other good items in the future, I hope you'll come back to pawn them!"
Xie Feng took the card and nodded. "Well, I'll consider it!"
Luo Ling hesitated for a moment before asking, "Sir... may I ask your honorable name?"
Xie Feng.
Since no one in the Dao Realm knew him anyway, he had no taboos.
" Xie Feng... that's a rather elegant name..." Luo Ling said, swaying her graceful waist as she approached Xie Feng.
Her gaze lingered on Xie Feng's neck and below, and she suddenly whispered, "Your muscles are so well-defined... you can even see them through your clothes..."
Xie Feng:???
What kind of indecent words are these?
What is she going to do?
Why the sudden urge to drive?
Xie Feng was just beginning to have doubts when Luo Ling gave him no time to think. She moved closer to him, her red lips slightly parted, her breath sweet as orchids, her voice as alluring as a hook:
"Lord Xie, how about staying at Treasure Mirror Workshop for the night?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Just what you think it means..."
"..."
"Just... 60 million Dao Crystal will do..."
"..."
Xie Feng was stunned.
What the hell is this weirdo?
I just gave myself 90 million, and I want to earn it back in no time!
Sixty million!
You really dare to say that!
With that mind, that skill, that shamelessness, no wonder he became the head of a workshop...
I have to admit it!!
Xie Feng twitched his fingers slightly, and a fierce gust of cold wind swept out, blasting Luo Ling several meters away!
"Ouch!"
Luo Ling bumped into the table and immediately cried out in pain.
Her face flushed instantly.
No man could refuse such a request if she asked! But this man not only refused, he showed absolutely no mercy!
Luo Ling, enraged and embarrassed, demanded, "Are you even a man? Am I... am I not worthy of you spending lavishly on me?!"
Xie Feng said expressionlessly, "This isn't a question of whether we're a good match or not; it's a question of moral integrity! You're a businessman; doing business requires honesty and integrity, don't you understand?"
"Besides that, you're also a woman who sells her body, flirts, and uses any means necessary to squeeze money out of people... It's a rotten apple like you who spoils the whole bunch!"
Luo Ling blushed furiously, pointed at Xie Feng, and roared, "If you don't want to, you don't want to! How dare you swear at me like that?!"
Xie Feng turned his head, and even though the brim of his hat covered her eyes, Luo Ling could still feel that when that sharp, arrogant gaze looked over her, she felt as if she were completely naked and had been seen through!
For some reason...
A sense of humiliation welled up inside her...
Xie Feng said coldly and disdainfully, "As a woman, you can be poor, you can be ignorant, you can be weak, but you must never be depraved! If you don't respect yourself, who will?"
"You want to make back the 60 million you lost?" Xie Feng waved his gold card. "This money isn't that important to me. I can give it to you, but why should I give it to someone so cunning and morally corrupt?!"
Luo Ling looked away, her red lips pressed tightly together, and she remained silent.
"She was born into a wealthy family; no one forced her into prostitution, yet she sells her body and her looks. Perhaps this is what you believe is the way to make your business thrive..."
"This method might work temporarily because you have a great figure and appearance, but what about later? What if you get old and lose your looks? Will people still be willing to spend lavishly on you then?"
"I'm afraid what awaits you is only a deserted gate and few carriages, and your eldest son marrying a merchant! You're not a bad person by nature, you just lack inner beauty, so read more books!"
Xie Feng said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Luo Ling's eyes widened. She asked in shock, "How... how do you know my background? I've never said anything about it... who exactly are you?"
"Don't think I'm some benevolent God who came to save you. It's just that what happened today disgusted me! You'd better watch yourself!"
Xie Feng sneered and left.
Luo Ling felt completely weak. She leaned on the table and slowly slumped to the ground, Xie Feng's words echoing in her mind...
If you don't respect yourself, who will respect you?
The gate is deserted, carriages and horses are few; the eldest daughter has married a merchant...
Not inherently bad, but lacks inner beauty...
It disgusted me...
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she fell into a long silence.
Wuyou College.
The three of them, Sushang, were led into the inner courtyard. They went to the logistics department to collect their disciple robes and other items, and chatted as they walked back.
Seeing this academy suddenly makes me miss our Xuanji Sect, with its eight towering mountains! It's so much more vast than this place...
Sushang was holding a pile of items, her pointed chin resting on them, and she pouted as she spoke.
"Once we get stronger, we'll bring Anping and the others over! Hehe~" Changying said with a light smile. She then lowered her head and untied the magic gourd from her belt, smelling the aroma of the wine, and revealed a satisfied expression.
"There's nothing wrong now. The sect leader should be in the elders' council. Let's go find him!" Zhou Jin said calmly.
"Okay!" Sushang nodded slightly and smiled sweetly.
Before they had taken two steps, three young men blocked their way. They were dressed in the robes of inner court disciples, and each of them had a fierce look in their eyes, indicating that they had ill intentions!
"So you're the new inner court disciples?"
One of the young men, who was very tall and fair-skinned, spoke up. He tilted his head, squinted, and looked the three of them up directly, his arrogance undisguised.
The two behind them had a slightly less imposing presence, like lackeys who blindly followed the young man's lead.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Sushang frowned slightly.
"What, you come to Wuyou College without even asking around about the most popular people on campus?" Henchman A said with a disdainful expression.
"This is Liu Yi, ranked seventeenth on the Coiling Dragon Ranking! Seventeenth, do you understand what that means? Newcomers, let me explain: out of three thousand inner court disciples, only the top twenty are selected on the Coiling Dragon Ranking!"
"Young Master Yi said arrogantly, as if he were the one who had entered the Coiling Dragon Ranking."
so what?
What are you trying to express?
Is he just here to show off?
Changying scratched his face, rolling his eyes to the sky. "Speak up if you have something to say, or shut up if you have something to say!"
The two thugs opposite were staring wide-eyed...
A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman; even rolling her eyes is adorable...
They're two beauties with completely different styles!
At this moment, they had already forgotten that they came to cause trouble...
Only Liu Yi, because of his anger, remained clear-headed!
"She really has a bad temper! No wonder she's so arrogant and domineering! Which of you is Sushang? My cousin Su Wan was injured by her, and we need to get an explanation for this."
He glared at the three of them, his eyes cold and sinister, and said...
He is Su Wan's cousin!
His cousin was being bullied, so he definitely had to act like a good older brother and stand up for her!
