1228 First Time Here? (2/2)

The crowd was astounded.

Mermen had a preference for luxurious living, so they were all rich. Even the poorest merman had at least a hundred pearls with them during the day. Moreover, they were concerned about their reputation, so they would not easily reveal their financial status. They would only show the good side of their lives and cover themselves with luxurious clothes.

Gu Xijiu was the first person to reveal that she had no money.

Lan Fei did not seem to give up. ”Not even a pearl?”

Gu Xijiu gave him an apologetic smile. ”In fact I have none.”

Lan Fei was speechless.

The audience could not help but hiss. They had probably never seen someone who could still be so confident about being penniless. Moreover, how could she be broke and penniless, as her attire was noble?

A sudden realization hit lan Fei, ”Is this your first time here?”

”You are right.”

The audience hissed again.

”Are you here simply to join the audience?”

”No, I am here to make money.” Gu Xijiu did not hold back her honesty.

Lan Fei could not hide his amusement. ”How do you plan to do that?”

”By singing.”

The crowd was astounded, yet again.

The receptionist made an announcement, ”The young lady has signed up for the contest, too. Miss Gu, it is your turn.”

All eyes fell on Gu Xijiu. The audience could be heard judging her by her appearance. They were saying that she had an exaggerated opinion about her ability and wondered why she even dared to join the contest.
