Manager Yang's eyes widened: "Well done, well done!"
It's beautiful from afar, but even more stunning up close.
However, one of them looked somewhat familiar, and he wondered why he wanted to take a closer look at Rosie.
Manager Ning subtly blocked his view: "So, are you satisfied?"
As she spoke, she rubbed her fingers together, her intention to ask for money being all too obvious.
Manager Yang had no choice but to look away, cursing the money-grubber under his breath: "Satisfied, of course I'm satisfied."
With a pang of regret, he pulled out two silver ingots from his pocket and tossed them to Manager Ning.
Manager Ning took the money, but when he saw that it was only twenty taels, his expression darkened: "These two are top-quality, shouldn't you raise the price?"
Rosie: "..." Should I mention it?
That sounds so strange, like selling pork.
Moreover, this Manager Yang looks so much like Liu Chunhua's fiancé.
Manager Yang's face hardened, and he said righteously, "Manager Ning, are you trying to break the rules of the Divine Lord? The Divine Lord has long said that ten taels per person must be voluntary."
He narrowed his eyes: "Or did you kidnap these two and plan to sell them for a good price?"
"No, no, no!" Manager Ning waved her hands repeatedly in fright: "What kidnapping? There's no such thing. She's really a relative from my maternal family."
"Right?" She looked at Rose expectantly, her eyes full of flattery.
"Oh? A relative?" Luo Xi withdrew her gaze from Manager Yang and deliberately asked again.
"Of course!" Manager Ning's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he blinked frantically at Luo Xi.
Luo Xi didn't say until she was almost at her limit, smiling and saying to Steward Yang, who was watching the show with amusement, "Yes, Steward."
Luo Xi pulled Manager Ning to her side and hugged her arm affectionately: "This is my great-aunt. She's over fifty years old, but she's well-preserved, isn't she?"
Manager Ning: "...!!!"
Damn, she's fifty years old! She's only twenty!
Manager Ning was reluctant to admit it, but in order to get rid of the crime of trafficking, she still smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Auntie, I am a fifty-year-old auntie."
Manager Yang pretended not to see Manager Ning's frustration: "Hahaha, look, I told you that those who believe in the God will have eternal life. He's fifty and still looks like a virgin."
He said smugly to the others in the room, "So, you will definitely not regret your choice today."
The other young ladies in the room stood up and carefully examined Manager Ning.
"Is she really fifty? My God, she looks about the same age as my thirty-year-old sister-in-law. She looks so young."
"I don't think I'm thirty, I think I'm thirty-five. I even have fine lines around my eyes."
"That's not bad either. Fifty looks like thirty-five, not bad at all."
Manager Ning: "..."
It's better not to praise at all than to praise like that.
She didn't want to stay there a moment longer, thankfully she already had the money.
Manager Ning touched the four silver ingots in his pocket; two of them were given to him by Luo Xi at the door.
She scoffed inwardly. What good was being eloquent if she was still being sold out?
"Then, Steward Yang, I'll leave my relatives in your care. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be heading back now," she said politely to Steward Yang.
Manager Yang waved his hand.
Manager Ning didn't even glance at Luo Xi before rushing out.
Luo Xi stepped aside to block her, looking aggrieved: "Auntie, aren't you going to say goodbye?"
Manager Ning glanced at the group of people still staring at them curiously and said dryly, "How could that be?"
She gave Luo Xi a perfunctory hug: "Take care of yourself from now on."
Before he could say anything, he pushed Luo Xi aside and slipped out.
Luo Xi clicked her tongue, and slightly opened her palm, revealing four gleaming silver ingots nestled harmoniously in her fair and tender hand.
Want to sell her for money? Dream on.
Jiuxian's eyes flashed, but his expression quickly turned icy again.
After leaving the inn, Manager Ning continued to curse and swear all the way back to the inn.
"That bitch, she tried to trick me, she's really vicious. Luckily I'm smart, or I would be finished."
As she spoke, she reached into her bosom, trying to calm her nerves with the cool, refreshing silver.
Where's the money?
Manager Ning suddenly stood up and reached into his pocket, but found nothing in his clothes, sleeves, or trouser pockets.
She even took off her outer clothes to check, but still nothing.
"Wife, are you alright?" the boss asked cautiously, seeing her erratic behavior.
Manager Ning slapped him across the face: "Get out—"
After finishing the fight, she ignored the shocked looks of the other guests in the inn and hurriedly ran out to find the silver.
In just one day, the news that the landlady of Jixiang Inn had gone mad spread throughout several mountain peaks.
Luo Xi didn't know what was going on with Manager Ning.
She has now been led by Manager Yang to a rather large room, where hundreds of young women are sitting neatly.
When they saw Manager Yang bringing over more new recruits, including two very beautiful ones, they all glared at Luo Xi and her companion with hatred.
Manager Yang ignored this and said, "Alright, you can all sit over there."
He pointed to the empty seats in the room, and after everyone was seated, he said, "In a few days, the Divine Lord will personally select the winners. The seven chosen will be the Holy Maidens, and they will enjoy endless wealth and honor, and may even become immortals or saints."
"Of course, those who weren't chosen as the Holy Maiden shouldn't be discouraged. You can stay and work as maids or servants, and you'll still receive the God's protection."
The girls were excited, each secretly vowing to become a saintess, while also warily watching the others, especially the best-looking Luo Xi and Jiu Xian.
