Chapter 50 - Selling Beast Eggs (1/2)

While waiting for the lady to get the shopkeeper, Mu Feng browsed through the goods that were sold on this floor. The shelves on this floor were mostly filled with various herbs. Mu Feng started looking for the Hu Gu Grass that he needed for the cultivation of the Concentric Fingering Technique.

“Get me some Hu Gu Grass.”

Mu Feng pointed at a shelf and said.

The other lady hurried over and took out a wooden box. In the box, there were three stalks of yellow-spotted herbs–Hu Gu Grass.

At the same time, three men walked into the shop. Among them, a young man who was around 17 or 18 years old walked right up to the counter and said: “Get me three stalks of Hu Gu Grass.”

“Little Lord Wang, I’m so sorry, but the last three stalks of Hu Gu Grass were sold to this young man over here.”

As soon as the lady saw the young man, a trace of fear flashed across her eyes and she apologized immediately.

Upon hearing her words, the young man looked towards Mu Feng and saw the wooden box with three stalks of Hu Gu Grass in it.

The young man walked towards him, gave Mu Feng’s shoulder a light pat, and said: “Kiddo, I’ll pay twice the price of these Hu Gu Grass. Give it to me instead.”

Mu Feng glanced at this young man. He was normal-looking, with a squarish nose, triangular eyes, and was dressed in white robes. One could even say that he looked ugly. However, there was a hint of superiority around him.

Mu Feng shot him a look and said: “Sorry, but I need them too.”

Upon hearing his reply, a trace of anger flashed across the young man’s eyes. He then said: “Hey, I already told you that I’m willing to pay twice the price. Do you even know who I am?”

“I don’t care who you are. First come first serve.”

Mu Feng said coldly.

“Young master, why don’t you give it to Little Lord Wang? He’s the Little Lord of the Wang family…”

The lady tried to persuade Mu Feng as well. She then said: “Our shop stocks-up on Hu Gu Grass every half a month. We can save some for you when you drop by our shop next time.”

Upon hearing her words, Mu Feng laughed and said coldly: “Wow, it seems that Wan Bao Ju isn’t a shop that abides by that saying as well. I’ve never heard of the Wang family before, and I need the Hu Gu Grass right now.”

Mu Feng obviously didn’t back down, as he wasn’t someone who would be afraid of bullies.

“Hey, kiddo, are you even aware of the situation right now?!”

The young man dressed in white robes flew into a rage and tried to grab Mu Feng by the collar. However, Mu Feng grabbed hold of his arm and twisted it instead.

“O-ouch! That hurts! Let me go!”

The young man howled in pain while Mu Feng twisted his arm.

Just as his two men were about to attack Mu Feng, a middle-aged man walked out slowly and shouted: “Stop it this instant!”

Both sides stopped attacking immediately when they heard the loud voice. Mu Feng let go of the young man, and the two men stopped abruptly in their tracks as well.

The guy who shouted was a middle-aged man dressed in blue. He had a kind face, but his eyes gleamed with a trace of Vitality. One could see that he was a cultivator, maybe even one of the powerful ones.

“Shopkeeper Lee!”

The servants around him immediately greeted him and bowed on sight.

Shopkeeper Lee looked around, clasped hands and said with a smile: “I’m sorry, but fighting is prohibited in our shop.”

“What took you so long, Shopkeeper Lee? I want this box of Hu Gu Grass.”

The young man said furiously.

“Oh, it’s Little Lord Wang Yue! Xiu, why are you standing there? Hurry up and give him the Hu Gu Grass!”

Shopkeeper Lee shouted at one of the servant ladies.

“Shopkeeper, this young man wants the Hu Gu Grass too! He doesn’t want to give in.”

The servant lady said helplessly.

Only then did Shopkeeper Lee looked at Mu Feng. He had never seen him before, so he clasped hands and said with a frown: “Young master, can you please give Little Lord Wang this box of Hu Gu Grass? There will be another batch of stock half a month later. If you’re willing to give this batch to him, I’ll save up some for you and sell it to you at half the price. What do you think?”

“Huh, I didn’t know that Wan Bao Ju is a shop that bends for the powerful. Never mind, I don’t want it anymore.”

Mu Feng laughed coldly and returned the box to the servant lady. He then kept his two Beast Eggs and Beast Crystals back into his Qian Kun ring and was about to leave.

“Hmph, how dare a poor kid like you defy me.”

Wang Yue sneered coldly.
