The girl chuckled and looked over at Ye Feng and Sun Muqing.

"I'm just trying to warn you, the contents of the Grade A map are indeed true, my father didn't lie to you. But he didn't tell you that all the places marked on the Grade A map that contain rare and precious treasures, as well as that mysterious forbidden area, are fraught with danger!"

"To date, not a single martial artist who purchased a Grade A map and went to the Southern Wilderness Mountains to try their luck has returned alive!"

"So you'd better think carefully about how to decide."

Ye Feng couldn't help but glance at the girl a couple more times.

She was clearly the shop owner's daughter, yet she reminded herself not to be fooled.

Girls really do grow up to be outgoing!

The shopkeeper, getting desperate, started showering him with flattery and sweet talk: "Young man, I can tell at a glance that you're no ordinary person. Look at your heroic and spirited appearance, you must be a master among masters! Others might face a near-death experience venturing into the Southern Wilderness Mountains with a top-tier map, but you're different. You'll definitely return with a full load and become incredibly wealthy!"

Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan were both amused by the shop owner.

Ye Feng had already planned to buy a Grade A map, so he followed the shopkeeper's lead and said, "Thank you for your kind words. Give me a Grade A map."

"Alright!"

The shop owner had a big smile on his face, so big that his mouth almost twisted in a grin.

His daughter glared angrily at Ye Feng, snorted, and said, "You can't reason with a damned devil!"

"You don't need to worry about our safety," Ye Feng said calmly.

The shop owner has brought the Grade A map and has unfolded it on the counter.

"Look, sir, this is a Grade A map. How about it? Are you satisfied? Let me tell you, this is the last Grade A map in my shop. Once I sell it to you, I'm out of stock..."

After saying that, the shopkeeper stretched out his right hand in front of Ye Feng, gesturing for Ye Feng to take out a spirit stone.

Instead of taking out the spirit stone, Ye Feng took out a Patek Philippe watch.

"What is this?" the shopkeeper asked, puzzled.

"This is something called a watch, which can be used to tell time," Night Breeze explained with a smile.

The shop owner picked up the Patek Philippe mechanical watch from Ye Feng's hand with suspicion and examined it over and over.

The more the shop owner looked, the more excited he became.

"What...what is this thing? It's amazing! It's so ingenious!"

"I didn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations from it, so how did it start moving?"

The shop owner said with a look of surprise, and his daughter also came over curiously, staring at the mechanical watch with her big, watery eyes.

Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing tried their best to suppress their laughter, and managed to hold it in.

"How much do you think I'd pay for this watch?" Ye Feng asked.

Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, the girl exclaimed in surprise, "It's worth at least a hundred high-grade spirit stones!"

The shop owner's expression changed drastically, and he tried to cover his daughter's mouth.

But since the girl had already said it, it was no use covering her mouth now.

"Then let's make it one hundred high-grade spirit stones," Ye Feng said with a smile.

The shop owner looked pained.

Although he was determined to buy Yefeng's mechanical watch, he wanted to lower the price.

Now that his daughter has offered 100 high-grade spirit stones, he has no way to buy it at a lower price.

"You spendthrift brat, you're going to drive me crazy!"

The shop owner glared fiercely at his daughter, but she wasn't afraid at all; instead, she looked at him with a grin.

"Father, don't be so petty. This thing called a watch can fetch at least five hundred high-grade spirit stones at the auction house of Hongyu Trading Company in Yunling City."

"So that's enough. Don't go too far, or you'll anger them and they won't sell to you, and then we'll suffer a big loss."

The shop owner's daughter said in a low voice.

The shop owner's expression immediately softened. He nodded and looked at Ye Feng, saying, "In that case, I'll buy your... um, watch for one hundred high-grade spirit stones!"

The night wind heard what the shop owner's daughter said.

However, Ye Feng felt no emotion whatsoever.

Although he knew he could get a higher price at an auction, Ye Feng had no interest in going through that trouble. Selling it to the shop owner for one hundred high-grade spirit stones was enough for him.

One hundred high-grade spirit stones is no small sum. The shopkeeper went to the back hall and didn't return for quite some time.

"These are ninety high-grade spirit stones. The remaining ten will just offset this Grade A map," the shopkeeper said.

Without a word, Ye Feng picked up the bag full of high-grade spirit stones and the top-grade map and prepared to leave.

Just then, a clear shout came from the shop entrance.

Do you have a Class A map here?

The shop owner and his daughter both looked towards the shop entrance.

A young woman dressed in brocade robes strode in, accompanied by two guards.

The two guards exuded a strong aura of menace, clearly indicating that they were martial artists.

But Ye Feng didn't take them seriously at all, because the two guards were only at the early stage of the Separation and Union Realm.

In other words, these two guards couldn't even beat Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing.

"Miss Zhao, what brings you here?" the shop owner asked with a beaming smile.

Miss Zhao said coldly, "I'm here to buy a map of the Southern Wilderness Mountains. I heard you have top-grade maps here?"

"Excuse me, Miss Zhao, I've already sold the last Grade A map to this young man. We're out of Grade A maps now, but we still have Grade B, C, and D maps. Would you like them...?"

Before the shop owner could finish speaking, Miss Zhao looked at Ye Feng with an arrogant expression.

"Did you buy the last Grade A map? I'm ordering you now to give me that map!"

Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan frowned deeply, while Ye Feng chuckled silently.

"Why should I?" Ye Feng asked.

"Just because I am Zhao Manrou, the daughter of the Zhao family, and my father is Zhao Chenhui, the head of the Zhao family!" Zhao Manrou said arrogantly, looking at Ye Feng with disdain.

It turns out that this woman is the daughter of Zhao Manrou, the head of the Zhao family.

The Zhao family is a prominent and influential family in Yunling City, so it's quite normal for Zhao Manrou to be so arrogant.

"It doesn't matter who you are, I won't give you this top-grade map," Ye Feng said calmly.

"Don't worry, I don't want you to give it to me for free."

Zhao Manrou turned to the shop owner and asked, "How many spirit stones did this guy spend to buy the Grade A map from you?"

"Ten high-grade spirit stones," the shopkeeper replied immediately.

Zhao Manrou then looked at Ye Feng and said, "I'd like to buy this Grade A map from you for twenty high-grade spirit stones. What do you think?"
