54 You Want The Big One, I Want The Small One (1/2)
”Miss Dugu, aren’t you evaluating yourself too highly?”
Jun Mo Xie could not help but blurt out, cutting deeply into Dugu Xiao Yi with words.
”If I had wanted a female companion, I would have gone to the Soapy Rouge Establishment. The number of beauties there is numerous and not only that, they are tender and..ouch!!!”
Dugu Xiao Yi’s usually pretty and white face turned incensed, her delicate hands twisted Jun Mo Xie’s arms, her pair of beautiful eyes staring straight at him as she asked, each word emphasised.
”What… Did… You… Say?”
”A gentleman fight with words and not their hands!”
Jun Mo Xie said in a stern and righteous manner. With a bitter face, he continued.
”Elder sister, please give me a break, there is no need to tire your delicate hands on me.”
”Hmph! Say it! What ulterior motives do you have for following me? Speak quickly! If you do not, then I cannot guarantee the safety of your ears,”
Dugu Xiao Yi did not seem to loosen her grip at all.
Jun Mo Xie was well aware that she was someone who would keep her words, without a fear of the consequences. Turning around, Jun Mo Xie smiled.
”Wasn’t Miss Dugu planning to just buy a piece of iron? Since that is the case… how about if this little brother pay for it?”
”You?”
Dugu Xiao Yi suddenly remembered that Jun Mo Xie had not given her any of the recently won precious treasures back then. Thinking about it, her heart became frustrated and she flared up with anger.
”Obviously you are the one who should pay for it! Back then, the both of us were partners and managed to win so much money, but yet you haven’t given me any of it to me! If not for my good luck, could you have won so much? Since you have won so many treasures thanks to my luck, then you might as well take this opportunity to repay me.”
After saying that, she sudden broke out into laughter. She held out her hands, using it to measure the length of a short sword, a small fang could be seen on her smile. ”I want to make a short sword, about this length… It will be able to be kept hidden in my sleeves so it must be thin. Don’t you think its a good idea?
Jun Mo Xie’s felt sweat on his forehead. This girl was really able to speak, she had only acted as a witness. And she had also played across the board, winning twenty thousand silver liangs, after which she snatched up at least a hundred silver liangs worth of bills already. Now, her role had suddenly transformed into that of a partner, and saying what had happened was only due to her good luck…
And in order for her to create a small sword she had wanted, she had desired the whole piece of Meteoric Iron. What would one call the act of destroying a priceless treasure? This was a prime example of such a thing...
The piece of Meteoric Iron was approximately the size of two basketballs. Its entire body exuded a strange color, seemingly similar to the special color exuded by the aluminum alloy from Jun Mo Xie’s past life.
However, it was clearly purer; with several irregular patterns on its surface. With just a glance, Jun Mo Xie judged that it was of a higher quality compared to the Mysterious Iron! It was at this moment that Jun Mo Xie made the decision.
No matter what I have to do, be it swindling or blackmail, I must obtain this piece of Meteoric Iron. Something of such good quality could only shine when placed in a master’s hands!
”Boss, how much for this piece of scrap iron?”
Using his legs, Jun Mo Xie slovenly kicked the block of Meteoric Iron, his mouth turning crooked and his eyes becoming slanted as he asked.
This caused the middle-aged man who led him inside to become surprised. This Young Master had just spoken to him earlier while giving off the impression of an experienced professional, his demeanor and speech calm and collected. But after meeting this beautiful young lady, he would suddenly turn into such a disgusting looking person? What kind of game was he playing at?
Could this be what they call going crazy over a beauty? How troublesome! Beauties are really the cause of all troubles in the world!
