1674 Lucky Guess (2/2)

”Childe Chen! Are you even listening to what I'm saying?!” Ao Chun'er was getting frustrated. ”I already told you that there won't be any Ambergris inside that rock. Why do you still want to buy it?”

Chen Xiaobei grinned, ”We have this saying in our family that a guy who likes to smile would have good luck! I believe in my luck!”

”You…” Ao Chun'er stared at Chen Xiaobei like he had lost his mind.

Steward Pi also advised against it. ”Childe Chen, just listen to the princess…”

”Don't try to convince me!” Chen Xiaobei said firmly. ”I want that rock!”

”You know what…” Ao Chun'er sighed. ”Ugh... you know what? I'll just give this rock to you. I'll ask the shopkeeper to find us another grounding rock!”

”Give it to me? How can I accept it?” Chen Xiaobei smiled. ”Princess, just give me a price. If there's Ambergris inside, I'm afraid you'll regret it!”

”No, I won't.” Ao Chun'er shook her head. ”First, there's no way that there's any Ambergris inside, and second, I care a lot about my reputation. I would not want to take it back after giving it to you!”

”Alright! I'll take your word for it!” Chen Xiaobei walked over to the rock, formed a blade with his Ethereal Force and cut the rock.

In a blink of an eye, the rock was split in half.

And in the middle of that rock was a coal-black Ambergris the size of a basketball!

”That…that that that…” Ao Chun'er's big beautiful eyes widened and her mouth formed a perfectly round O.

”My goodness… Am I dreaming…” The steward was befuddled and was left dumbfounded. He even pinched his chubby cheeks to convince himself that he was not dreaming.

”The both of you, don't get distracted. Tell me, did I hit the jackpot?” Chen Xiaobei smiled.

”Chen… Childe Chen…” Ao Chun'er bit her lip. ”How did you know that there's an Ambergris inside?”

Chen Xiaobei shrugged. ”I am an amateur. That's probably just dumb luck.”

”Impossible! There's no way you're an amateur!” Ao Chun'er said in disbelief. ”You must have been able to tell, or you wouldn't have been so adamant in wanting this rock!”

”It was really just a blind guess!” Chen Xiaobei said. ”Because there are problems with the recent supply, I decided to go with this one which has been here for three years! I thought that it'd be interesting to try my luck. I really didn't expect to have guessed correctly!”

Chen Xiaobei could not reveal the secret which was his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes.

Ao Chun'er frowned as she stared hard at Chen Xiaobei, obviously doubtful over his stroke of luck.

Chen Xiaobei smiled cheekily. ”Your royal highness, please don't stare at me like that. People might get the wrong idea!”

”You must be hiding something!” Ao Chun'er pouted, dewy eyed. ”Can you please, please, please tell me? I've been in the Ambergris business for so many years, but I've never seen anyone quite as skilled as you!”

Seeing the adorable puppy-dog expressing the pretty Ao Chun'er put out, Chen Xiaobei suddenly felt a burning desire to add this mermaid into his harem.

”Childe Chen! Finally! I've found you! Prince Liancheng requires your presence in the palace immediately!” Octopus man came running into the shop, shouting. But he was suddenly distracted. ”My god… How… How is it that there's a 100,000-year-old Ambergris here???!”
