Chapter 75 075 A Lucky Girl
Shen Miaoyin gritted her teeth and said, "Even if I lost before, she shouldn't have sold people out. How could she do such an immoral thing!"
An onlooker spoke up: "He's a treacherous scoundrel, and you've already lost to him. Does he expect Miss Jiang to treat him like royalty?"
"You provoked me first, so you should accept the consequences of your bet. What you lost to someone else is their prerogative to do with it as they see fit!"
"Are you going to redeem them or not? You can't afford it, can you?!"
"Who said I won't redeem them!" Shen Miaoyin angrily swept her gaze over the group, then looked at the slave trader opposite her and asked, "How many spirit stones will it take to release them!"
The man raised an eyebrow and produced another piece of paper: "Nine thousand six hundred! As long as you pay the spirit stones and sign the document, I'll have someone send them back to you!"
"What did you say?!"
Shen Miaoyin and He Chong were both taken aback, wondering if they had misheard.
Nine thousand six hundred? Why don't you just rob someone?!
"At this price, are you going to redeem him or not? If you really can't afford it, I'll go back and deal with him!"
Shen Miaoyin frowned, weighing the pros and cons in her mind.
Yuheng is currently injured, and her chances of attaining immortality and ascending to heaven in the future are very slim. Even if she engages in dual cultivation, the benefits to her would be minimal.
Even if he spends over nine thousand spirit stones to redeem her today, who knows when he'll be able to earn it back for her!
He Chong frowned as he looked at her, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Just as Shen Miaoyin was about to find an excuse to send the person away, she suddenly heard a voice: "Back then, when Yuheng insisted on breaking the contract, he declared with absolute certainty that his love for Miss Shen was 'priceless.' Now, a mere nine thousand spirit stones have shattered that 'love' into pieces—so the so-called 'love stronger than gold' is nothing more than something this cheap?"
She frowned and looked in Jiang Yan's direction, gritting her teeth as she said, "Jiang Yan, stop trying to confuse the issue! It was clearly your own fault for breaking off the engagement that you were incompetent, yet you're trying to blame others!"
"Oh? When he stole my pills to feed you, why didn't you despise me for being useless? Why didn't you mention chivalry? I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted back then; I should have just drowned him in a pig cage! Now that you've lost him to me, I'll exchange him for a few spirit stones, consider it interest for him cheating me out of my pills. This price isn't too much, is it?"
"Jiang Yan!" Shen Miaoyin gripped the long sword at her waist, looking ready to attack.
Jiang Yan stood there with his expression unchanged, but Gongsun Jin and Ling Yue beside him frowned and cast warning glances at Shen Miaoyin.
The blue and white mosaic on her shoulders, along with her erect neck, gave her a posture ready to attack at any moment.
He Chong grabbed Shen Miaoyin's hand and said, "Junior Sister, we came here to win against Xuanji Yu. Fighting her now will do us no good. Let's save it for when we go on stage and teach her a lesson!"
Shen Miaoyin frowned and reluctantly withdrew her hand.
Yes, I'll show this flower-loving cultivator the power of Senior Brother Jiang Qun's 'Soul-Summoning Sword' in front of everyone! Senior Brother will definitely annihilate her without leaving a trace!
The slave trader said impatiently, "Cultivator Shen, are you still going to redeem your Daoist partner or not? Please decide quickly, I don't have time to waste here with you!"
Someone chuckled and said, "She probably doesn't have enough spirit stones. Why don't the people here donate some to her so she can redeem the person first?"
A burst of laughter immediately erupted from the surrounding area.
Shen Miaoyin frowned and said, "No need, it's just nine thousand six hundred spirit stones, I can afford that!"
She casually pulled out her purse and tossed it at the slave trader: "Count it yourself, and consider the extra as your errand fee!"
The man took the money, counted it, and then laughed, "Master Chen is very generous. I'll go back and have someone send it back to you right away!"
After everyone left, Shen Miaoyin looked at Jiang Yan and said, "You just wait and see!"
Jiang Yan smiled indifferently: "You don't need to hold me accountable for this. Blame yourself for not managing your Daoist partner properly. Who told him to provoke and scheme in the first place? Consider these spirit stones as a lesson I paid for you."
Before long, Yuheng was brought back by several of the slave trader's men.
His face, swollen from being slapped by Jiang Yan yesterday, had not yet healed, and his spiritual energy was almost depleted. At this moment, he looked disheveled and weak.
Yuheng looked at the person in front of him and called out guiltily, "Junior Sister Miaoyin."
Shen Miaoyin clenched her hands at her sides, barely suppressing the urge to slap him.
"What exactly happened between you and Jiang Yan?!"
Yuheng recounted in detail his initial plan from the previous day, as well as how Jiang Yan had seen through it.
Shen Miaoyin was so angry that her brows furrowed. She wanted to curse, "Idiot!", but with so many people watching, she didn't say it.
He simply said, "You should get some rest!"
Not far away, Jiang Yan was taking out the potato chips and pills that the system factory had just produced and asking Ling Yue and Xiao Bai to help sell them.
Ruoning walked over with a smile and pulled her to sit down. She looked at the little rabbit that had already transformed into human form not far away, and the green spicy strip, and said mysteriously, "Junior sister is really lucky. By the way, how were you yesterday?"
Jiang Yan casually took a potato chip from Mei Qiu's hand, chewed it, and nodded: "It's pretty good!"
Hearing this, Ruoning's eyes lit up: "Then should I give you another medicine?"
"Medicine?" Jiang Yan was taken aback. "Senior sister, what medicine are you talking about?"
Ruoning exclaimed with delight, "What else could it be but... a medicine for dual cultivation!"
Jiang Yan blushed, and the scene from yesterday inexplicably flashed through her mind. "Senior sister, are you crazy...?"
That medicine yesterday almost killed that half-snake! With such a potent effect, adding more? Anyone who took it would be doomed!
"How can you talk like that! I'm only thinking about your happiness!" Ruoning said, trying to shove a medicine bottle into her hand: "Keep it, you'll need it eventually! While they haven't taken human form yet and their spiritual power hasn't fully recovered, do more dual cultivation, it will benefit you!"
"I don't want it! Absolutely not!" Jiang Yan shoved the bottle of medicine into her hand and ran away as if fleeing.
Seeing this, the coal ball next to him quickly grabbed the potato chips in his arms and chased after them in a flash.
"Waaah~ Master, wait for Coal Ball~"
Ruoning watched Jiang Yan's retreating figure and smiled helplessly, "Why is your skin still so thin?"
She glanced at the medicine in her hand, and just as she was about to put it away, she saw "Gongsun Jin" walk over.
"Since she doesn't want it, give it to me."
Ruoning glanced at him, then squinted and handed the bottle of medicine to his hand: "Little Immortal Lord, you know your stuff!"
Feng Qingyu raised an eyebrow slightly: "Thank you, Senior Sister."
"We're family, no need for formalities. Come find me again after you've finished eating!" Ruoning whispered, "I have plenty of this kind of food here!"
"Okay." Feng Qingyu looked at the pill in her hand, as if she had just given birth.
As soon as he turned around, the green snake blocked his way.
Lin Yun blocked his way with her snake tail, tilting her head to look at him: "Give me a few."
"No way!"
"You have to give me a few! Otherwise, I'll tell Jiang Yan that you have ulterior motives and are hiding this medicine to harm her!"
Feng Qingyu raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "I didn't say I was going to give it to her. I think you're the one who wants to eat it, right? I'll feed you one right now to see!"
After saying that, he unscrewed the cap, poured out a snake, and reached out to catch it.
Lin Yun's eyes widened suddenly: "You wicked old devil, you're trying to harm me again!"
