Beast Taming·Chapter 20 It’s nice to just sit and watch the sea!
"Twenty-four!" Shi Yan said again.
Yu Xinxia sneered, "Do you really have twenty-four second-grade spirit stones? Can you show them to everyone?"
"Yes, yes, take it out and let us see it."
"Manager, let him take it out and let us see it, so that this kid won't have to resort to empty city tactics!"
Yu Xinxia secretly laughed in her heart, "Sure enough, someone agrees with me. This idiot is just playing the empty city trick!"
"This...Sir, can you please show me your spirit stones?" The boss was so overwhelmed by the sudden happiness that he couldn't speak fluently.
You know, a sea cat egg sold at this price is already a sky-high price. He bought it from others at eight second-grade spirit stones. According to the standard transaction, the seller gave twelve second-grade spirit stones. After deducting the bargaining, he should be able to earn two second-grade spirit stones in the end. But at this moment, because of the quarrel between the two parties, this second-grade spirit stone was suddenly sold for twenty-four second-grade spirit stones, with a net profit of sixteen second-grade spirit stones, which is the performance of half a month!
Shi Yan looked around, "You all want to see it?"
Everyone nodded. Seeing that he was still struggling, Yu Xinxia snorted coldly, "Brother Hua Lang, why don't you just forget it? It's not shameful!"
Although the words were just advice, the four people involved understood the underlying meaning.
Shi Yan sneered, but did not take out the spirit stone. Instead, he glanced at Yu Xinxia and said, "Whether I take it or not is another matter. When this egg is bought by me, I will naturally offer it, but the premise is that I buy it. But now, we are still in the competition stage, do you still want to bid? If the spirit stones are not enough, then this sea cat egg will belong to me!"
"Yes, this guy is right. It's not certain yet that the egg is his!"
"That's right, Mr. White, do you want to add more? Otherwise, just give it to this young man and let us see if he has any spirit stones!"
Yu Xinxia was in a dilemma. If she did not raise the price, she would not be able to humiliate Shi Yan. Instead, she would be labeled as a man who spent a lot of money to win a beautiful woman's smile. If she raised the price, she would have reached her limit and had no more spirit stones! And his indifferent expression made him a little suspicious. Did he really have twenty-four second-grade spirit stones? Or was it just twenty-four spirit stones?
Yu Xinxia gritted her teeth and said, "Never mind, let's take the gamble!"
He will definitely continue to raise the price for the sake of face, just like he did before. If he can't come up with the spirit stones by then, it will be really embarrassing. Ye Yier will definitely leave Shi Yan!
There was another reason why he was willing to gamble. That was that over the years, according to his understanding, even if Shi Yan saved a few second-grade spirit stones every year, he couldn't have so many by now. He must be bluffing! So, he gambled!
"Okay, I'll give you twenty-five!" Yu Xinxia folded her fan, stood with her hands behind her back, and smiled. But only he knew that his palms were already covered in sweat.
"good!"
"Well done, young man in white!" The people around cheered immediately. The higher the price was, the more interesting it would be for them, so they all started to cheer!
"Hey, young man, how about you? He has already accumulated 25 second-grade spirit stones. If you want to win the heart of a beautiful lady, you must surpass him!"
"More, more! More, more!" the audience cheered.
Yu Xinxia secretly breathed a sigh of relief. These spectators really helped a lot. If this continued, she would have to continue to add spirit stones even if she ran out of them. Because this game, since the spectators started, could not be stopped. Unless one side failed, it would continue forever! And the longer it lasted, the more beneficial it would be for her. As long as she waited until the people who were looking for her came, she would not be in the embarrassing situation of running out of spirit stones.
That's why he made up his mind to increase the bet!
He imitated Shi Yan's expression and smiled slightly, "Brother Hwarang? Do you want to continue?"
Shi Yan rubbed his nose awkwardly and shrugged at everyone, "Since Brother Xinxia likes this egg so much, I won't take it away from her. I'll give it to you!"
"What!" Yu Xinxia was stunned and didn't react for a while.
"You...you don't want it anymore?"
Shi Yan smiled slightly and asked, "Why should I want it? This sea cat egg originally only costs twelve second-grade spirit stones, and it is only worth this price. Since you like it so much and keep increasing the price, why should I fight with you for it?"
Yu Xinxia was so angry that she couldn't speak. The eyes of the people around her were like sharp blades hanging on her body.
"you......"
"No need to thank me," Shi Yan took Ye Yier's hand, and the two smiled at each other, "As expected of the young master of Huajin Mansion, you only buy sea cat eggs for 25 second-grade spirit stones, unlike us, who can only buy sea cat eggs for 12 second-grade spirit stones. Hey, this is the difference!"
After saying that, they walked out together, but before they stepped out of the door, they stopped and said to the shop owner: "Boss, you can't treat such a rich man well?"
The boss finally came back to his senses from his excitement, nodded quickly, hired a worker, and started serving him comfortably.
However, rather than serving, it seems more appropriate to describe it as surveillance.
After Shi Yan left, the audience dispersed as they saw there was nothing interesting to watch.
The only ones left were Yu Xinxia, who had a pale face, and the woman with a red mark on her face. The woman covered her face and stood aside with a wronged look on her face, but her eyes were staring at the door with hatred, in the direction where Shi Yan and Ye Yier had left.
Some people even sighed as they left, "As expected of a rich man, he even spent twenty-five second-grade spirit stones to buy a sea cat."
Yu Xinxia almost vomited blood when she heard this. She was so angry!
"What the hell am I going to do with a sea cat!"
After leaving the store, Shi Yan and Ye Yier came to the beach, climbed up the reef and sat down, looking at the sea level in the distance.
They walked hand in hand without feeling anything. But once they calmed down, they suddenly felt that holding hands was a bit ambiguous, and they quickly separated as if they had been electrocuted.
Shi Yan felt the warmth and softness left in his hands, and his heart was distracted.
Ye Yier's cheeks were flushed and she was rubbing her hands nervously. Just now, she suddenly felt a tingling sensation rising from the palms of her hands, as if she had been electrocuted.
That feeling hit my heart directly and made my heart beat fast. What on earth was this wonderful feeling?
She secretly glanced at Shi Yan, and Shi Yan also happened to look over here secretly. Their eyes met and they quickly separated in awkwardness.
"Um..." The atmosphere was too weird and awkward, so Shi Yan took the initiative to bring up the topic, "Are you disappointed that you didn't buy sea cat eggs?"
Ye Yier shook her head and brushed her hair that was messed up by the wind. Her rosy face looked even more charming and attractive under the setting sun. Shi Yan was stunned for a moment.
"I'm not disappointed. Seeing that sissy get humiliated, I feel so happy!" She giggled, "Shi Yan, you are so mean!"
"Haha, he deserves it! I hope he can grow his brain and stop messing with me. I have always been ignoring him for Yu Chitong's sake, but he really thinks I am easy to mess with!"
The sea is full, shining under the setting sun, the waves are jumping like naughty children, and the water surface is full of golden light.
Standing on the beach by the shore, looking into the distance, you can only see a vast expanse of white. The sea and the sky merge into one, and you can't tell which is the water or the sky. As the saying goes: fog locks the top of the mountain and the mountain locks the fog, the sky connects to the end of the water and the water connects to the sky.
The sea water in the distance, under the shining sunshine, looks like pieces of fish scales spread on the water surface, swaying with the sea breeze.
Looking at the sea, the two felt that their minds seemed to become more open. In this state, people feel refreshed and relaxed.
The tide is rising, and the waves in the sea are rushing towards the shore one after another. Some rise up like rolling hills; some hit the rocks on the seashore, splashing several meters high, making a wonderful sound of "哗......哗......"!
The glow of the setting sun fell on the two of them, extending their shadows infinitely and merging them at the end of the extension.
They just sat there quietly, watching the sunset and the sea.
An idea suddenly popped up in Shi Yan's mind:
It’s nice to just sit and watch the sea!
