1751 Total Domination (1/2)
”What? For me?” Su Xiaoman pointed at herself. Her heart was keeling over inside her chest, and her face turned beet red. ”I cannot accept such an expensive gift!”
Chen Xiaobei smiled. ”This belonged to the Divine Tiger Faction's ancestor. Are you sure you don't want it?”
”We don't even know if it's the real thing!” Su Xiaoman said doubtfully.
”Young lady! Watch what you're saying! Don't speak so carelessly!” The shopkeeper snapped. ”Go ask around and see if anyone dares to sell counterfeit items in Yellow Wind? I would never do it, not even if I had the courage of a lion!”
”Boss, don't get so upset! I can tell that this is the real deal!” Chen Xiaobei said.
With the Eight-Diagram Qi Observational Skill, Chen Xiaobei could see the unmistakable thick purple-gold aura discharging from the Tiger Claw Scythe.
Only a high-value antique object would give out purple-gold aura. So, the scythe was definitely authentic.
”You have a very good eye, sir!” The shopkeeper nodded. ”Very few people know about this Tiger Claw Scythe. I'll give you a friend's price... you can have it for one million medium-grade Spiritual Stones!”
”No problem! Take it down!” Chen Xiaobei nodded.
”No! No! No! This scythe is too expensive! I can't take it!” Su Xiaoman shook her head. Her family's entire family property's worth was not even 100,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones. How could she accept a gift worth 1 million?
”An ignorant country bumpkin who doesn't know what's what!” A shrill voice suddenly said.
It was a woman in a bright, pretty long dress. She walked to the store and snatched the Tiger Claw Scythe. ”One million medium-grade Spiritual Stones for a one-of-a-kind Tiger Claw Scythe. That's dirt cheap! If this bumpkin doesn't want it, I, Yun Ziqiao, will take it!”
The look Chen Xiaobei gave this unreasonable woman was glacial. Her rude affront about Su Xiaoman being a country bumpkin aggravated him a hundred times more.
Su Xiaoman stiffened. She was at a loss. She had been reserved about receiving such an expensive gift but seeing someone else simply snatch it away sparked a crestfallen feeling and a reluctance in her.
The shopkeeper did not say anything to regulate the situation. His eyes were glued to the woman named Yun Ziqiao.
Admittedly, this woman was a sight to behold – attractive face and alluring body, wrapped in a long, flowy dress, drawing lewd looks from lustful, wondering eyes as she walked past them.
She was at that charming age between a teenager and a mature woman, and her prideful personality appealed to men's dominant nature.
If they could subdue this wild mare, it would give them a sense of accomplishment.
Of course, the perverts in the market only dared to watch her from afar. None of them had the balls to approach her because right next to this attractive woman was a handsome escort dressed in clean and neat clothing.
Anyone with eyes could tell that this fine young man was probably the son of some powerful faction.
No point courting a rebuff.
”Boss!” The young man said. ”I'll make you sorry if you keep staring at Ziqiao like that!”
”I'm sorry… sorry… I had no intention to offend…” The shopkeeper quickly averted his eyes. ”I'm selling this Tiger Claw Scythe for one million medium-grade Spiritual Stones! If Miss Yun pays now, you can take it away with you right away!”
