Chapter 672: Getting Rich Again (Additional chapter for "Dong Zeyu of Gu Nan")

"The above is the remuneration I offer. What are your opinions, seniors?"

In just a few minutes, Xiao Chujing had taken control of the entire situation.

"What I want is very simple. I want to get the Water Spirit Pearl before the sun sets tomorrow night, at a relatively favorable price."

Qin Xingshi and Wu Shisan Niang had been swept into Xiao Chujing's rhythm and could not refuse at all.

Wu Shisan Niang tried hard to remain calm.

She and Qin Xingshi exchanged a quick glance, and both took off the golden abacus from their waists at the same time. The abacus stretched in the wind, and the delicate little accessory the size of a palm instantly became the size of an ordinary abacus.

The two men were clacking the abacus beads, their fingers moving as fast as lightning and almost becoming shadows, as if they were calculating Xiao Chujing's conditions and whether it was worth the huge risk they had to bear.

Ye Xiaoman had already left her chair and turned into a spectator, standing behind Wu Shisan Niang and watching while eating melon seeds.

She saw that as the beads moved, invisible spiritual power surged on the abacus, as if it formed the same frequency as the brain fluctuations of the calculator, helping to clarify the mind.

Sometimes a few beads in the corner would jump up by themselves with a "dong" sound, as if reminding some important details that had been overlooked. The abacus was indeed a very mysterious magical instrument.

Finally, Wu Shisan Niang, who had extraordinary calculation ability, was the first to stop and use the abacus.

"Xiao Xianchang, your request carries enormous risks. You haven't dealt with Qing Yuanhu before, so you have no idea what kind of person he is. I can only say that if you dare to take a single penny from him, he'll bankrupt you."

"Among our colleagues, we avoid Qing Yuanhu like the plague and scorpion. We try not to offend him if we can. Asking him to sell the Water Spirit Pearl at a low price and ruining his future is like asking for his life."

"If you had discussed this with me three months in advance, I would have had ample time to prepare, and that would have been another matter."

"Now you're asking us to help you in less than twelve hours. This means that everything will be done hastily, and the chances of being exposed are very high."

Qin Xingshi also chimed in:

"Our current host seems to have made it to the top of the Huantian Chamber of Commerce. However, as long as he cannot become the Chamber of Commerce President in the future, he will only be a high-level servant, bound by the Chamber of Commerce's rules at all times."

"The Chamber of Commerce strictly prohibits collusion with outsiders to harm internal interests. If Qing Yuanhu catches us in a fight and reports us, losing our positions as the boss would be a minor issue, but I'm afraid we'd be severely injured, if not killed."

Wu Shisan Niang continued, "It's true that I won't live long, but if I don't make any mistakes, I can still live comfortably for another hundred years."

"If I make a mistake, I might be destitute for the rest of my life. All the servants I keep at home will be sent away, and I won't even be able to afford wine and women. I'd rather die then."

Qin Xingshi sighed, "I don't know if the resurrected weapon spirit is reliable. Do you think I need to take risks at my age? In fact, I have been concentrating on cultivation in recent years. I don't care much about reviving the family, money, reputation, etc...."

Ye Xiaoman listened from the side and found it funny.

These two bosses were indeed not ordinary people. Faced with the huge temptation of benefits from Xiao Chujing, even if they basically intended to cooperate with him, they were able to quickly regain their composure, sigh and pretend that they did not really want to trade with him.

Just to lower the price again.

Xiao Chujing had already seen through their hypocrisy.

"Seniors, if you have any other conditions, please tell us directly."

"Xiao Xianchang is a man of quick words and generous spirit." Wu Shisanniang hung the abacus back on her waist. "Old Qin and I will get the same reward, plus the Taotie beast in Wuming Sword's hand."

Sikong Qing wanted to jump up immediately after hearing this, and Yue Mushan was also furious. Why should he give it to the Taotie beast? If he gave it to it, even if he succeeded in getting the Water Spirit Pearl, wouldn't Ye Xiaoman be missing one of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth?

Ye Xiaoman was quick to move and pushed Sikong Qing's shoulder down.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Chujing. They were very familiar with each other's body language and could know what the other was thinking without saying a word.

Xiao Chujing had no intention of giving up Ye Xiaoman's spoils. Even if he agreed later, it was just a delaying tactic.

First quickly get the Water Spirit Pearl to build the foundation, and then we will deal with the subsequent enemies as they come.

Xiao Chujing did not agree or refuse immediately.

He was the best at playing psychological games. Even in front of two old foxes who were as old as his ancestors, he still guided the pace of the negotiations.

He asked perceptively, "You and Qing Yuanhu both want to obtain the Taotie beast. Why?"

Ye Xiaoman then slowly added, "We heard some rumors..."

Wu Shisanniang and Qin Xingshi remained expressionless. "What's that rumor? The Taotie Beast is incredibly valuable and a rare commodity. Our Chamber of Commerce would like to acquire it as a treasure."

Ye Xiaoman just wanted to say that it was so funny that she didn't know any information at all.

But Wu Shisan Niang and Qin Xingshi sang the same tune, with the two of them against Xiao Chujing alone, so she had to come out to help Xiao Chujing.

The two old foxes didn't reveal any flaws, but unfortunately Ye Xiaoman and Xiao Chujing had also practiced this.

This pair of senior and junior brothers joined hands and sold out everyone in the world, and everyone had to help them count the money.

Especially Ye Xiaoman's naturally honest face, and her profound ability to lie without blinking, brings a sincerity-enhancing effect.

The soft light in the bunny eyes that looked at people with full trust and sparkled in an instant went out.

A simple young person full of passion was deeply hurt by the indifferent human beings. She lowered her eyes in disappointment.

"I thought there were no reservations among allies."

Wu Shisan Niang and Qin Xingshi were stabbed by her.

I couldn't help but recall that they had gone through such times a long time ago. At that time, they trusted others easily until they were betrayed and hurt again and again, and eventually became the smooth and worldly people they once hated the most.

Qin Xingshi probed: "Why don't you first tell me what rumors you heard."

Xiao Chujing's face suddenly darkened, and he cooperated by putting on an expression of great disappointment.

"Since the two seniors have reservations, let it go."

He walked to Ye Xiaoman, sighed, and made a gesture to ask the guest to leave.

"You two are right. The possibility of obtaining the Water Spirit Pearl in a short period of time is very small. Why should I spend such a huge price?"

Sikong Qing interrupted coldly and started acting too.

"Xiao Gou, the people from the Huantian Chamber of Commerce are very cunning. Why don't you destroy those Bone Tempering Techniques and Weapon Spirit Resurrection Techniques right in front of us?"

"It's not a pity if you die. If they covet your treasure, they will try every means to harass Manman in the future, which will cause endless trouble."

Yue Mushan also meowed, agreeing with Sikong Qing's words.

Xiao Chujing said: "You are right. I can't let my junior sister get into trouble."

After he finished speaking, he was about to open the Dharma ring.

Wu Shisan Niang and Qin Xingshi hurried to stop him.

"Hey, you young people just don't have patience. It's not a big secret, so I'll just tell you directly."

Wu Shisan Niang explained the reason from the beginning.

"The Qianji Sect recently issued a prophecy stating that the world-destroying demon god Jing Zhui will soon be resurrected. At the same time, a savior has been born, a young man under the age of thirty."

"The prophecies of the Thousand Machine Sect have never been wrong in tens of thousands of years."

"So the aristocratic families and sects that are quick to act are already preparing."

"For you young people, this may be a passionate matter, but in the eyes of us old guys, it's just a business."

"The Six Realms Alliance has decided to follow the prophecy and support a new generation of saviors, devoting all their resources to this cause! No matter which cultivator is chosen, their sect, family, and race will be blessed with immense wealth."

"Think about it, with the resources of the six realms gathered together, even a pig can ascend."

"The upcoming Six Realms Contest will gather all the young geniuses. The leader of the Thousand Machine Sect, Shi Zaixing, will be in attendance to select the list of saviors."

Ye Xiaoman was stunned. She had not received any news that a good opportunity to get rich was about to come.

Is Xiao Chujing going to become rich?

Can you give her this opportunity?

Ye Xiaoman couldn't wait to ask, "You haven't told me yet, what does this have to do with the Taotie Beast?"
