"Wow! Someone actually dares to challenge Master's authority? Master, go! Master, charge! Kill these bullying bastards!" Yu Suanpan cheered excitedly from the side.

Jade Pixiu: "...Master, I feel betrayed. Your fortune has skyrocketed without my knowledge! I am not happy about this! I am the one destined to bring you wealth."

In her mind, the two little ones were chatting animatedly. Outside her mind, Lan Yao coldly watched the people rushing towards her. She trembled as she punched and kicked the burly men who were charging at her.

As she kicked them in the groin, she cursed, "Where did these brats come from? How dare they act tough in front of an old woman like me? Didn't your parents teach you to respect the elderly and care for the young? Or did they not teach you to honor the elderly?"

These burly men were kicked so hard by Lan Yao that they were bent over like shrimp, letting out miserable screams like pigs being slaughtered!

The people around were dumbfounded when they saw how fierce the old lady Lan Yao was disguised as was.

"This old lady looks very old, but she's so vicious when she hits people?"

"Is this an old lady? Not a shrew? This is terrifying!"

"Serves them right! Let those scoundrels bully the little girl."

"How dare these people be so arrogant? Aren't they afraid of what's coming from above?"

"Hmph! It's all because of some really serious incident that happened in the Baihe Village area recently, which led to the relocation of a lot of people. Also, the United States and Japan have been harassing our surrounding waters lately..."

...

Lan Yao stomped on the face of the man called Qiang Ge and said viciously, "You little beast, I, as your elder, beat you up so badly that I almost threw out my back. Pay up! If you don't pay me 10,000 yuan, I'll throw your corpses into the sea to feed the fish."

"Ten thousand yuan? Why don't you just rob someone?"

"You old hag, do you know how much ten thousand yuan is? You'll burst if you don't eat yourself to death."

"Old Biden! You'd better not let me find out where you live, or else..."

"Yo! You dare threaten me? I'll show you why flowers are so red today!"

Lan Yao was extremely ruthless. Everyone heard heart-wrenching screams as the genitals of those burly men were severed, and they instantly fainted from the pain.

Lan Yao clapped her hands and instructed Hua Niu, who was standing to the side, "What are you standing there for? Look for anything valuable on them."

Hua Niu exclaimed in surprise, realizing what was happening, and quickly squatted down to search for valuables on the burly men.

After a while, Hua Niu handed Lan Yao a large stack of banknotes. Lan Yao accepted them without hesitation and then said to Hua Niu, "I'll take these seafood items from you. How much?"

Since these vicious people have set their sights on Hua Niu's seafood, it proves that Hua Niu's seafood is profitable.

Hua Niu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ten yuan."

People around gasped in shock. One of them said rudely, "Hua Niu, that's not fair. Your fish and shrimp aren't worth much, and you're asking an old lady for ten yuan."

"That's right. Flower Girl, we can't do things that are against our conscience."

"Hey girl, give me a discount."

Regardless of what others said, Hua Niu looked at the old lady with utmost seriousness: "Just ten yuan. That's already very cheap."

"Can't you lower the price?"

Since she dares to sell at this price, Lan Yao wants to see if it's worth it.

The jade Pixiu said resentfully, "...Master, you really got a great deal."

Lan Yao said "Oh": "...There really is something good inside her?"

The jade Pixiu nodded and said, "Master, those shells have pearls of good quality inside. And those fish have gemstones inside their bellies."

Lan Yao raised an eyebrow: "...What did you say?"

Jade Pixiu: "This little girl has special luck and is able to find ocean treasures. People like her are the easiest to be targeted, and she won't live long."

"Ocean treasures!" Lan Yao said with some interest. "Jade Pixiu, why don't we stay here for a few more days?"

The jade pixiu said nonchalantly, "It's possible. However..."

Lan Yao gave her no room to refuse: "Didn't you say that my current financial luck is something you can't even compare to?"

Jade Pixiu: ...

I'm so angry! But I can't argue with it!

Who told them to steal four-fifths of the luck from Lan Jiaojiao, of which their master owned three and a half percent?

It and the foolish abacus can only share half of the luck.

That's understandable!

Lan Jiaojiao already owed her master a debt of gratitude, so even though her master forcibly took away her luck from Lan Jiaojiao, the backlash against her master was negligible.

Lan Jiaojiao's good fortune will naturally extend to her owner.

As for Lan Jiaojiao who ran away...

The jade Pixiu chuckled. That was a storage package for its master to store fortune, wealth, and other resources.

One day in the future, Lan Jiaojiao will come to deliver things again.

Lan Yao didn't hear Yu Pixiu's rebuttal; she quietly waited for Hua Niu's reply.

Hua Niu glanced at her, then suddenly a slight smile appeared on her lips: "I can offer a discount. However, my discounts aren't so easy to come by. Are you willing?"

Upon hearing the last sentence, Lan Yao felt a chill run down her spine, and a dangerous alarm bell rang incessantly in her mind.

"Pipi, I think I've gotten involved in something interesting again."

The jade Pixiu sighed, "Master, your fortune has always been unreasonable."

Jade Abacus: "Why do I have a feeling that the other party is plotting something against the master?"

Jade Pixiu: "Panpan, your brain is finally not filled with water anymore. You can even sense this. That's truly something to celebrate."

Jade Abacus: "Pipi, I've made up my mind. Let's have a fight sometime."

Lan Yao gave Hua Niu a deep look with her seemingly cloudy old eyes: "Okay."

Hua Niu's smile deepened, and she emphasized again, "You agreed to this."

"Okay. I agree. So stop haggling, how much cheaper can you offer?"

Hua Niu: "Five yuan."

Lan Yao: "Okay. Hurry up and pack it for me."

Without any hesitation, Hua Niu scooped up all the fish from the stall. They were quite heavy when she picked them up: "Would you like me to deliver them to your home?"

Lan Yao took it immediately: "No need. I still need to buy some other things."

Lan Yao looked quite old, but the fact that she carried such a large bag still shocked everyone.

"The old lady is really strong."

"She looks like she works hard at home all year round. She's in great health and can help out at home. Wouldn't that be great?"

“My mom is about the same age as her, and she’s very strong.”

Ignoring the comments, Lan Yao continued carrying her things and bought a lot of good-looking seafood before reluctantly leaving. During this time, Hua Niu followed her at a distance, seemingly curious about what else she was going to buy.

Without a second thought, Hua Niu followed her after she left.
