The waiter was a money-conscious person. Seeing Xue Huan actually took out the spirit stones, he smiled warmly at her again, "This fairy is offering fifty spirit stones a night!"
Xue Huan glanced at Wang Qiubai with a proud attitude of "I'm not short of money" on her face, "It's just a competition of who has more money, who's afraid of who!"
Wang Qiubai was furious and blurted out, "I'll give you a hundred spirit stones!"
She regretted it the moment she said it. Although she brought a lot of spirit stones with her this time, she still felt a little painful because she had to spend a hundred spirit stones to stay in an inn.
But now that the words have been spoken, there is naturally no reason to take them back. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a joke?
The two people bidding for a room above has attracted the attention of many guests in the lobby, and they are all talking about it.
Xue Huan raised the price calmly: "Don't raise it by fifty or one hundred. Please, I'll offer a thousand spirit stones. Do you dare to follow?"
These words can be said to be extremely arrogant, and an aura of wealth and power comes to the face.
At the same time, she took out a high-grade spirit stone and tossed it in her hand to play with it, so as to prevent anyone from accusing her of empty talk.
The brilliant light that belonged only to the top-grade spirit stone blossomed in her palm, and everyone's eyes could not help but follow her movements up and down.
"Wow, that's a top-grade spirit stone, right? This is the first time I've seen one."
"It's indeed a top-grade spirit stone. As soon as I took it out, I felt the surrounding spiritual energy become richer."
"One high-grade spirit stone is worth at least ten thousand low-grade spirit stones. It's enough for that girl to stay in the inn for as long as she wants."
"She can easily pull out a high-grade spirit stone. That girl is really rich. She must be from a wealthy family."
"I think the girl on the other side is doomed to fail."
Hearing these words, Wang Qiubai's face flushed red. She was so angry that she glared at Xue Huan fiercely and walked away.
Xue Huan pressed on, "Hey, why did you leave? You're not bidding anymore? I thought you were rich, and you offered double the price to let me give you the room, but now this is all you can do? You can't even come up with a mere 1,000 spirit stones?"
The last sentence was like a sharp arrow, piercing the hearts of Wang Qiubai and everyone present.
One thousand spirit stones, and you still call it a mere sum?
This girl must have some misunderstanding about the prices in Lingyao City!
The auction had come to an end, and the people around had nothing more to watch, so they gradually dispersed. However, Xue Huan's wealth had caught the attention of some people with ulterior motives.
Xuan Ling reminded her: "Don't show off your wealth. You are now being targeted."
Xue Huan: "I know, but I don't plan to live here."
The waiter smiled like a flower: "Fairy, the last upper room in our store is yours. I will take you there right away."
The eyeball was stuck to the high-grade spirit stone in Xue Huan's hand and couldn't be peeled off.
At this time, the shopkeeper who had rushed over after hearing the news waved his hand to the waiter and said, "You go ahead, I will receive this fairy."
Xue Huan: "Forget it. I can't afford to stay in a place like yours."
Just lift your foot and walk out.
The shopkeeper's smile froze on his face. He stepped forward and blocked Xue Huan's way. "Young lady, if you're not staying here, why are you bidding on the price? Now that you've pushed another guest away, you're saying you won't stay here. Are you deliberately playing a trick on us?"
The shopkeeper's words made everyone smell the scent of melon again, and they all came over.
Some guests sided with the innkeeper and denounced Xue Huan: "Exactly, you are too dishonest, girl. You are clearly deliberately ruining the inn's business."
Xue Huan stared at the man and clapped his hands twice. "I've finally seen how he lies with his eyes open and confuses right and wrong."
Without giving others a chance to speak, she continued without pausing, "I was the one who came here first and booked the room. I was about to pay the deposit, but when the waiter heard the girl in the yellow skirt offer double the price, he immediately wanted to give her the room. Since the inn was so unkind first, don't blame me for being unfair.
"I just played tricks on your inn on purpose, so what? You still don't allow me to regret it? What, you want to force me to stay?"
Xue Huan's words made everyone realize that the inn was in the wrong first.
"It seems that the inn is being unfair. Everything has a first-come, first-served basis."
"That's right. Someone came first, and then someone else came and offered double the price. The waiter had to give the room to that person. Then, what guarantees do we have for staying at the inn in the future?"
Some things cannot be spoken of. Xue Huan exposed the inn's behavior, and public opinion instantly turned against the inn.
The shopkeeper was extremely angry with Xue Huan, but he had to consider the reputation of the inn in front of everyone, so not only could he not do anything to Xue Huan, he also had to apologize to her.
He glared at the waiter fiercely and bowed to Xue Huan, "Please forgive me, young lady. This guy has just arrived at the inn and doesn't know anything. He may be a little rash. How about this? I'll make the decision and let you stay in the upper room for free."
This behavior seemed very considerate on the surface, but if Xue Huan still held on to it, it would seem that she was petty and unwilling to give in.
"Okay, since you have apologized to me sincerely, and I am not an unreasonable person, I will forgive you generously." Xue Huan had a condescending expression, as if it was a great honor for the shopkeeper to receive her forgiveness.
The shopkeeper's eyelids twitched, and a hint of viciousness flashed across his eyes.
"Lead the way." Xue Huan walked towards the stairs.
The shopkeeper yelled at the waiter, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take this fairy to the upper room!"
The waiter left with a nod and a bow.
Xuan Ling: "Didn't you say you wouldn't live here?"
Xue Huan: "It would be too conspicuous to leave now. I'll just pretend to stay here first and find a better time to leave. I've really humiliated the inn this time, and I'm afraid they won't let me off easily. However, their conspiracy is doomed to fail."
Xue Huan guessed correctly. The shopkeeper let her stay for free because of his reputation, but he had already made up his mind to teach her a lesson. She dared to go against their Zhou Chamber of Commerce. She must be tired of living!
So, at the shopkeeper's instruction, the kitchen prepared a big meal with extra ingredients for Xue Huan alone. Unfortunately, when the waiter brought the meal in, the house was already empty.
Xue Huan had already run away.
When the shopkeeper learned about this, he threw the teacup in his hand away and said, "Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her?"
That woman could easily take out top-grade spirit stones, and who knows how many good things she had on her body. The reason why he was willing to let her stay for free was not to apologize, but to make a killing from her.
As a result, the person ran away before the method was implemented.
The waiter knelt on the ground and pleaded aggrievedly, "I was guarding outside the door the whole time, but I didn't see her come out. Who would have known that she'd run away just when I went to get the food?"
"Alright, stop quibbling. You've failed to do your job well. Deduct two months' wages. Get out."
