Chapter 29: Shopping Spree Man (Refined)

  "These first-class seals are pretty good, can be used for self-defense when going out, let's buy them!"

  "Second-grade Dan medicine! You woman, it seems like you never have any wound-healing Dan medicine on you, go buy some."

  "The sacred jujube of the extreme north, eating a few can strengthen one's body and health, can nourish blood, bought and bought..."

  "Frost Iron! This is a good material for refining artifacts. If you add your Frost Jade, we can refine some attack-type items. I didn't expect to find such materials in a place like this! Let's buy it."

  Su Mo was speechless, this young man was simply a shopping addict, and even the cheapest things in this place were worth hundreds of taels of silver. The market was never a place for poor people to come, and now he had set his eyes on so many things in just one store, the silver from Jin Yu Tang might not be enough for him to splurge.

  "Come on, woman, don't hesitate, buy it quickly." The young man urged proudly.

  "Wait." Su Mo furrowed his brow and transmitted a message: "Where can we put so many things?"

  "I told you to buy it down, so you bought it down, and naturally, there's room for the heavenly book."

  "But are these things really useful? Are you sure?" Su Mo once again coldly questioned him.

  After a long silence, a slightly weak voice came from the young man's ear: "That's not very useful either. To be honest, I've been living in the Heavenly Book for too long, and it's hard to avoid feeling uneasy when I come out to buy things. But I'll pay attention, next time I'll only buy really useful things, do you agree?"

  "Alright, don't make a habit of it, but put some of these things back." Thinking of the young man's experience, Su Mo couldn't help but feel both helpless and amused.

  In the shop, looking at the piled-up medicinal herbs, hundred-refined steel, silver and copper green iron, spiritual pattern stone tablets, Su Mo's eyebrows were furrowed.

  At this time, the boss had stretched out four fingers, "These are a total of 4,000 taels of silver."

  Four thousand taels, it's indeed a lucrative industry. Su Mo felt that these shops were even more cunning than those who made money outside.

  Just as she was hesitating, two men dressed in luxurious clothes suddenly appeared from the shop, their eyes coldly fixed on Su Mo, with a sinister smile.

  "Boss, we've bought these, twice the silver." The two men looked at Su Mo with great provocation.

  "This... isn't right." The boss hesitated, after all, the rules of the shop were first come, first served.

  "We are of noble status, boss, you selling to us is correct, we will come again in the future."

  Seeing this, Su Mo's beautiful lips curled up, hooking up a seductive and charming smile. Her enchanting eyes flashed, and she made a compromising gesture towards the boss behind her back.

  The boss agreed, and immediately sold the goods to the two men. As they left, they gave Su Mo a provocative stare, their faces full of threat, and left with an air of superiority.

  Seeing this, the boss sighed slightly: "Young master, you shouldn't have given in to them like that."

  "Why?" Su Mo's lips curled up, seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling, as he asked.

  "This young master may not know, but our market only opens once every three months, and the goods are limited in source. What can be encountered cannot be sought, and once something is bought by someone else, it's gone. That's why so many people come from outside. You're just giving things away to others like this, and it's already impossible to find anything useful later on. So, I'd say the young master has suffered a great loss."

  "Thank you, there are other shops around here." Su Mo's eyes sparkled with delight.

  "Sir, every household sells different things, so you may not find what you need."

  "But aren't all of you shops part of the same business alliance?"

  "Not bad, all these shops belong to one business alliance."

  "So, how about I discuss a business deal with you all tonight?" Su Mo's smile was gentle and charming, her eyes were seductive and captivating, and her eyebrows were full of charm.

  Seeing him so calm and collected, with a faint smile on his lips, the boss had a thoughtful look in his eyes, feeling that this exceptional young man was really hard to see through.

  The two young nobles rushed to Miss Xia's presence, hastily reporting their achievements.

  "Xia Shijie, didn't you see that the little kid went through great trouble to pick out a bunch of things and was extremely disappointed afterwards."

  "Really! These things are priceless and hard to come by, where can you easily find them?"

  "I watched him, and just selecting took up nearly half a day."

  At last, Miss Xia raised her head and smiled, her silver teeth gleaming in the dim light, her smile was thin and bright, and she felt extremely pleased with herself. "Not enough, these lessons are still far from enough."

  At first, she thought that young man was intentionally bumping into her, but unexpectedly he made her lose face in front of everyone.

  She is the only miss of Xia's family. She has been spoiled like a little princess since she was a child, with everyone around her fawning over her.

  How could someone as proud as her allow such a lowly child to look down on her?

  Everyone thought it was interesting and secretly hoped that the world would be in chaos. They then asked with great interest, "What does Shifu want to do?"

  Miss Xia smiled slyly, with a glint in her eyes: "I think he's just an outer disciple of the Mo School, I guess he's only here to make purchases for his school. If he returns empty-handed, he'll definitely be severely punished when he gets back to the Mo School. You guys keep buying, let him know that ignoring me will have no good consequences, and make him kowtow and admit his mistake until his head is broken and bleeding."

  "But silver... might not be enough." The young men rubbed their fingers together, indicating that money was a bit of a problem.

  Miss Xia's lips curled up in an alluring smile, and she said in a tone that was not very kind: "This time, we'll use the sect's money to pay for it first. Later, we can return the goods. My summer family is extremely prominent in this area, and my father is also the general manager of the Xingyue Sect. At the same time, our family is skilled in alchemy, so there will be people who will treat us with courtesy wherever we go, so I won't suffer any loss."

  The merchant alliance has many rules and regulations, but after a normal transaction, if you are not satisfied, you can return the goods within an hour.

  Many young people couldn't help but brighten up at the sight of her, immediately praising her for being not only beautiful in appearance, but also exceptionally talented.

  Miss Xia narrowed her eyes dangerously, with an uncontrollable sense of triumph in her heart.

  The night is dark, the lights are dim, and the clear wind is sparse.

  In the crowd, Su Mo's footsteps were neither fast nor slow, and the clothes on her body made her look even more pure and beautiful.

  She walked into a shop again, her dark eyes shining like stars, with a hint of a smile on her lips, smiling carelessly and bewildering people. Her eyes turned and she was as charming as silk. She still chose many things, just selected, negotiated the price, and immediately someone came to buy them at a high price.

  Round and round, one after another, the strokes are bold, shocking people.

  One truck after another of goods was pulled out from all the big shops, truly dazzling and countless.

  Dazzling, too much to take in.

  Gradually, the guests outside were also stunned by this scene, and they quietly followed behind Su Mo to watch the commotion. As soon as Su Mo arrived in front of a stall, he stretched out his slender jade hand, slowly feeling a beautiful jade instrument, which was immediately bought by a noble young man. The young man didn't forget to provoke him before leaving, saying: "Little kid, since you offended Sister Xia, you will definitely have no good ending in the future, let's wait and see!"

  "Look at him, has that young man offended someone?" someone pointed and whispered.

  "The person behind the scenes is ruthless, must have offended some powerful force."

  "Although fighting is not allowed in the market, not letting others buy what they need is even more cruel than beating them up!"

  "It's really like that, the street market which opens only once every three months can't buy anything, being targeted by these people, next time will definitely return empty-handed again!"

  The crowd's gaze at Su Mo was filled with sympathy and complexity, of course, there were also some people who were gloating, but everyone was watching from the sidelines, after all, a powerful force wasn't something to be trifled with. As cart after cart of goods were pulled out, the surrounding crowd would erupt in various gasps of amazement.

  Everyone couldn't help but think deeply, what kind of great power was offended by the young man?

  Such a large sum of money, no less than 100,000 taels, should be over tens of millions of taels, this amount of silver is enough to build a magnificent noble palace.

  However, Su Mo still had her hands clasped behind her back, the night wind blowing her sleeves, her posture calm and unruffled, as if she was floating above the dust, extraordinary and otherworldly.

  Following her, two young men glared at each other with anger, as if they could shatter the calm and composed facade of their opponent.

  On the attic, a man in black watched this scene, knowing it was his sister's doing. He tapped his fingers on the table and couldn't help but curve up the corners of his mouth into a pleased smile.

  The man in white also glanced at this scene, his slender and icy jade fingers stroked the tea utensils in front of him, his eyes still clear and cold. A snow-white fox was hiding under the man's robe, pretending to be asleep.

  On the other hand, a dozen or so young nobles were gathered in front of Miss Xia, boasting about how they had spent money on her, and since it was all paid for by the beauty herself, they helped her spend it, and in the end, they could still win a smile from her, what's not to be happy about?

  The people upstairs looked at each other with gleeful and mocking eyes, waiting to see how the little boy would cry and beg for mercy.

  After a while, someone felt strange and said: "Sister Xia, that little one is still buying, ordinary people should have stopped long ago, why is he doing this?"

  Miss Xia's lips curled up in a sly smile as she poured herself a bowl of jasmine tea, filling the room with its fragrance. She said slowly and leisurely, "I suppose he's trying to get back at us. Since I snatched everything away from him, he deliberately made me spend more silver coins. How stupid!"

  Everyone immediately echoed, "Really stupid, suppress him until he is convinced. By the way, have you handled the matter of returning goods privately?"

  Outside, the rain continued to fall in a steady patter, a hazy veil of rain shrouding the entire street.

  Suddenly someone came rushing from outside and anxiously cried out: "It's bad, it's bad."

  Miss Xia swept him a dissatisfied glance, her vermilion lips slightly parted, with a hint of a smile, and carelessly stirred the ice cubes in the bowl with a silver spoon. "What's wrong?"

  "Others... others don't return the silver." The young man who rushed in had a pale face and was panting heavily.

  "How is this possible?" Miss Xia's face suddenly turned pale, almost vomiting blood, she stood up straight, the Qingyu porcelain bowl in her hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

  "What?" The others immediately looked at each other in dismay, standing there stunned and motionless, as if struck by lightning.

  "How did they say it?" Miss Xia trembled and stretched out her beautiful fingertips, "Did they make it clear?"

  "The boss said to me at the time, normally only refunds are given for normal transactions, but doubling the money is also against the rules of the business alliance. So within an hour, it's absolutely impossible to refund the silver according to the rules. Even if we go to the business alliance to complain, no one will side with us. If everyone were like us, breaking the rules of buying and selling, not letting others buy goods and still wanting to return them, then the business alliance might as well close down." The young man's words, spoken in a manner similar to the boss's, struck Summer Miss's heart like a knife.

  Miss Xia stood there in a daze, her face changing color again and again, turning black then green, green then white, white then gray, feeling as if her heart had stopped beating.

  That money was all spent by her father on purchases, and she had used it privately.

  That's a full 1 million taels of silver, which is absolutely not a small amount, it's the total income of the Xia family for three whole years.

  Her dowry was only worth 100,000 taels, and in an instant, her mind went blank.
