"Why are you unhappy? Do you like these stones? I have many more, all of which I've used and am about to throw away."
As she spoke, she used her tail to pull aside the animal skin covering the den, gesturing for Xu Milu to look at the swamp outside:
“There are many there, but they are too big to use. The smaller ones are fished out of animal hides, washed clean, and can be placed on the roof. They are shiny and beautiful.”
Looking at the diamond rough the size of a small car sparkling in the sunlight on the shore of the swamp, Xu Milu couldn't help but feel tempted again.
What's so special about Kingsoft?
Look, there's Diamond Lake here!!!

The people of the Ghost Kingdom were quite interested in Xu Milu, who had been brought back. Soon, many of them were perched in the trees, staring at her and whispering amongst themselves.
"It's so ugly, why did you bring it back?"
"Why does it have two eyes? Don't they fight?"
"It also has five little tails growing from its tail!"
"You call it a 'person'? It doesn't have scales, so how does it crawl on the ground?"
"What is a human being? Do humans eat meat?"
"Why would it need those useless stones? Does it need to grind scales too?"
After obtaining the land's consent, Xu Milu squatted by the swamp, suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, and quite reservedly and restrainedly picked out a rough diamond according to its color.
After being cleaned by the lake water, the clear and bright rough stone revealed its inner brilliance. Although it has not been cut yet, its beauty is already evident. Sunlight shines through the diamond, casting sparkling and colorful spots on the ground, enough to transform Xu Milu into a greedy dragon.
Although the car-sized diamond couldn't be shown on Earth, just looking at it in the system's storage space filled Xu Milu with a sense of satisfaction.
When she gets back, she'll ask Sanette to make a set of furniture out of diamonds. She won't do anything with it, she'll just leave it there for fun.
Some of the children from the ghost kingdom couldn't contain their curiosity and picked up brightly colored raw stones, handing them to her while tilting their snake bodies and asking:
"What is a 'person'? I heard you're a 'merchant,' what is that? Is it like the Rain Master's Concubine?"
"A merchant is someone who specializes in selling things; I can sell you whatever you want."
Xu Milu thought for a moment and then answered.
The children from the Ghost Kingdom excitedly pointed to the sun in the sky:
"I've been in the water so much lately that my scales won't dry. I want the sun in the sky, can you sell it to me?"
Xu Milu fell silent again.
I can see that you people from the Ghost Country not only don't understand tact, but you also don't understand what politeness is.
