Chapter 187: Mo Clan’s Guard Team (1/2)

“Did you say?!” Ning Wuxie’s expression gradually lost control.

“Three million?!”

The shopkeeper nodded seriously, his narrow, aged eyes trying hard to feign a calm expression.

“It should be three million two hundred thousand. You are distinguished guests, and since it is your first time at my shop, I will waive the two hundred thousand!”

The shopkeeper waved his hand grandly, appearing generous as he spoke.

“Do you think I am a fool? Do you think I don’t understand?” Ning Wuxie raised his eyebrows and said sternly.

“These three magical tools are worth at most eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones. You want three million?!”

Ning Wuxie was utterly at a loss for words. He could understand a price over a million, but three million directly?

It was simply outrageous, like a lion opening its mouth wide, seizing someone in desperation!

Facing Ning Wuxie’s questioning, the shopkeeper’s old face remained thick-skinned, showing no signs of concern, and instead shrugged.

“Distinguished guests, this is Lanyuan, not the bustling human city outside. The market prices here are like this.”

He frowned, speaking with a helpless expression.

“Nonsense! Lanyuan’s precious materials are second to none in the world. The Spirit Craftsmen’s Guild is stationed here, and many Jewelry from other Dynasties are imported from Lanyuan. Do you think I don’t know?”

The shopkeeper raised an eyebrow, not expecting this young person to know so much at such a young age.

“Those are low-end goods. They don’t include the stuff sold in my shop.” He skillfully sidestepped the topic, his eyes shifting to Xuan’er, who stood behind Ning Wuxie.

“Look at your wife. After wearing these three pieces of jewelry, she would be as beautiful as a fairy descending from the sky. This bracelet would perfectly complement her wrist, adding a touch of embellishment at her waist. This pendant would also enhance her overall image, making her look truly stunning…”

He began to flatter Xuan’er’s beauty after wearing the jewelry, hoping to put pressure on Ning Wuxie.

“That is because my partner is naturally beautiful.” Ning Wuxie said coldly.

“Even the most beautiful lady needs to dress up, right? As the saying goes, a Buddha relies on gold adornments, and a person relies on clothing…”

The shopkeeper started reciting classic marketing phrases.

“One million, I will take all three.” Ning Wuxie stated.

“Not possible.”

“One million two hundred thousand.”

“Not enough.”

Ning Wuxie clenched his fists, suppressing the impatience in his heart.

“One million five, sell if you can.”

“Lowest two million seventy thousand. If you don’t buy, then I’m sorry…” The shopkeeper forced a smile, shaking his head.

He had long since determined that Ning Wuxie was a wealthy individual, starting with one million Spirit Stones and accompanied by such a beautiful lady.

So he refused to budge.

Little did he know, three million was all of Ning Wuxie’s savings; how could it be spent all at once?

Ning Wuxie took a deep breath, about to speak again, but felt his sleeve tugged.

Turning his head, he saw Xuan’er had already taken off all the jewelry.

“Brother, let’s go. I’m not buying anymore.”

The shopkeeper, who had been calm and aloof, suddenly widened his eyes in shock, looking at Xuan’er, and even Ning Wuxie was startled.

“What happened, Xuan’er? Why don’t you want it anymore?” Ning Wuxie hurriedly asked.

The shopkeeper across from them was so shocked he couldn’t speak.

How could there be such a girl? Saying she wouldn’t buy just like that?

Although The shopkeeper knew deep down that the items he sold were not worth that much, he also understood they were definitely not ordinary street goods!

Which girl could resist such temptation?

Xuan’er placed the jewelry piece by piece on the counter and turned to pull Ning Wuxie away.
