Upon hearing this, Wang Yue touched his nose, nodded, and continued his story.
"At first we thought it was some kind of treasure, but when we got closer we found it was just a small spider weaving a web. There was also a venomous snake that had just been strangled by the web. We didn't pay much attention to it at first, but the web was so shiny that we put it away!"
Wu Hua asked anxiously, "What about the spider?"
"The little spider got frightened and ran away when we were trying to catch it. It was incredibly fast; several of us couldn't catch it..."
He kept rambling on and on, and Wu Hua's glare was practically making him a sitting duck.
"You stole its silk and scared it away? Don't you know it was just born and it's so fragile! You're so cruel!"
Its barrage of attacks left Wang Yue completely bewildered. What on earth was going on?
Could it be that all the young masters of wealthy families are so overly compassionate that they can't bear to see small animals suffer?
Qin Luo knelt down and patted Wu Hua's back to calm her down before looking at Wang Yue.
"Could you tell us where that little spider went, and where we found the spider silk?"
She asked him questions, and Wang Yue naturally responded to everything.
"To be honest, we didn't see that little spider within Pingzhao territory. We saw it in the black market at the border of Pingzhao, Lancang, and Xiyou!"
Qin Luo hadn't expected it to be so complicated; she only knew that the Kingdom of Lancang was not far outside Liyou City.
Xiyou Kingdom is reached by traveling hundreds of miles north from Liyou City, crossing the Moshan River.
This is also the shortest route for them to reach Xiyou Kingdom, but where is the border?
Qin Luo's eyes darted around as she asked Wang Yue, "Are you familiar with that place?"
Wang Yue patted his chest proudly.
"If I'm not familiar with that place, then no one else will dare to say they are!"
Qin Luo stood on tiptoe, raised her hand, and patted his shoulder.
"We can take this spider silk, but only if you become our guide. I'll pay you extra; name your price!"
Wang Yue stared at the two of them in astonishment.
"You two aren't joking with me, are you? You're young masters of the Eternal Age, what are you doing in that cannibalistic black market? If the head steward finds out, he'll skin me alive!"
Qin Luo made a gesturing gesture towards him.
"If you don't tell us, we won't tell us either. The head steward will naturally never know. We only discussed the price of the spider silk with you! We didn't talk about anything else!"
Wang Yue pointed to the cobwebs on the table.
"Let's put everything else aside for now and talk about this. Don't underestimate this spider web; the entire web can be used to heal wounds without any side effects. It heals extremely quickly. No matter where you are injured, just apply a little spider silk, and it will heal immediately! This has all been verified by us; it's absolutely true!"
Qin Luo looked at him indifferently.
"Then how many taels of silver do you think it's worth?"
Wang Yue thought and thought, and finally held up five fingers, which was the bottom line he had negotiated with his companions.
"Not a single tael less than five hundred thousand taels!"
Qin Luo feigned disgust and picked up the cobwebs on the table to examine them.
Then he took out a dagger and slashed his arm.
He then took out a small water pouch and sprinkled some water on the wound.
The wound healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving not a single scar in just a short while.
When Wang Yue first saw her cutting herself with a dagger, he was shocked and wanted to stop her.
But he was shocked by the water in the water bag, staring at Qin Luo in disbelief.
"This...this..."
Wu Hua rolled her eyes at him
"What is this? We have plenty of good stuff in Wan Gu! You want to sell this broken spider web for 500,000 taels? Why don't you just rob us?"
Wang Yue was speechless after hearing that. His spider web was indeed less effective than the water in the water pouch.
He bowed to the two men, packed up his bag, and dejectedly prepared to leave.
But Qin Luo called him back.
"Fifty thousand taels, will you sell?"
At the beginning, Wang Yue might have felt that Qin Luo was humiliating him.
Having witnessed the potion's potency, he actually felt that Qin Luo's offer of 50,000 taels was out of pity for him.
Unable to make a decision immediately, he said he needed to discuss it with his companion.
Qin Luo didn't ask him for an immediate answer, only saying that he would wait there for a while.
Let him discuss it with me before coming in; it's a cash-on-silk transaction.
After Wang Yue nodded, he walked towards the door, and Qin Luo and Wu Hua then began to discuss.
"Little one, what kind of beast is this mountain spider? Is it good or bad?"
Martial Arts Classroom is back online.
"The mountain spider is an ancient mythical beast, but it has a bad temper and is quite irritable. It is also very ferocious by nature. When it grows up, it becomes huge and feeds on meat! If it is not properly disciplined when it is young, I can't even imagine what it will become when it grows up!"
Qin Luo understood his worries; what if the Mountain Spider was taken away by the villains?
Discovering its differences might bring a catastrophe to humanity.
"Let's do our best to find it! Right now, things are mixed, and we can't be completely sure that it was taken away by bad people. Maybe it will meet someone as kind-hearted as me? Right, baby?"
Wu Hua's worries were instantly dispelled by her words.
"That's true. Just like you said before, don't worry about things that haven't happened yet. I just didn't understand!"
Qin Luo picked him up, holding his little chubby hand in one hand.
"Sweetie, you have to be happy every day! You look so ugly when you're frowning! You're cuter when you smile!"
Wu Hua rested her little head on her shoulder.
"I don't know why, but when I think about the suffering of other cubs like me out there, my heart aches!"
“I understand, but we just need to do our best. Every beast has its own destiny. Who knows, maybe the mountain spider has already met its destined one?”
Wu Hua's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
"Yes, we beasts believe in fate the most. Just like how I met you, maybe the mountain spider has already met its own Qin Luo!"
"Yes! So you don't need to worry anymore. We'll check it thoroughly once we get to the border!"
"good!"
As the two were talking, Wang Yue walked in with several men.
"Young masters, my companions didn't believe me, so I brought them in to see for themselves!"
Seeing the disgruntled looks on their faces, Qin Luo didn't bother to waste words with them.
If it weren't for the fact that she had long-standing business dealings with Wan Gu, she wouldn't have wanted them to see her at all.
She then grabbed Wang Yue's arm and stabbed him.
Blood gushed out instantly, but Qin Ruo calmly opened the water pouch and poured it onto his wound.
In the blink of an eye, his wounds healed, leaving everyone staring in astonishment at the scene before them.
He was just criticizing Wang Yue, saying he fabricated the lie to pocket the money, but now he's been proven wrong.
Qin Luo summoned the head steward and said to him in front of everyone, "Uncle, this spider silk is worth at most fifty thousand taels. Let's do it for the sake of our past relationship. If they are unwilling, don't force them! Let them be!"
After saying that, he and Wu Hua sat down at the table and slowly began to drink their tea!
