The scene was bustling with activity. Even though the God of Wealth had said that this batch of treasure chests was of "relatively good" quality, it still couldn't stop the demand from the crowd.
The Goddess of Wealth was deeply moved by everyone's enthusiasm and decided to hold a clearance sale at a loss, auctioning off ten treasure chests at a time in batches...
"Host, I'm back. Mission successfully completed."
The little system popped back up, but Ling Xiao didn't even blink, as if he hadn't noticed.
My heart pounded: Oh no, before, when I finished my work, the host would greet me with a smile and praise me...
This is unusual; there must be something fishy going on. Could it be that the influence of that tiny little rumor from before hasn't dissipated yet?
How can I lick it back to its original state?
The Goddess of Wealth completely ignored the system's wild thoughts, looked at the bright and dignified girl in front of her, and reached into her clothes with her jade fingers to pull out a golden lock that was still warm from her body.
Offering the treasure with both hands as if presenting a precious object, she bowed slightly and looked at the girl who was the Goddess of Wealth with her beautiful eyes, saying:
"When Xue Baochai paid her respects to the Goddess of Wealth, although her family had enough wealth to buy a treasure chest, I had heard that Miss Lin had been tempted by a monk and a Taoist priest to become a nun—"
Suddenly being mentioned, Lin Daiyu... She bit her lip slightly.
Xue Baochai paused for a moment, then casually looked up, only to meet the girl's half-smiling eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her head to continue:
"This golden lock was given to me by a monk or Taoist priest when I was sick as a child, along with a prescription for Cold Fragrance Pills to cure my illness..."
Those present were astonished, as the origin of Baochai's golden lock had not yet been revealed, so they naturally did not know.
The monk and the Taoist went to Linjia Ferry and gave Miss Lin a gold lock and a prescription to Miss Bao.
If Miss Lin is the Crimson Pearl Fairy, then Miss Bao must also have something special about her—even the youngest, Xi Chun, thought of this.
Feeling the gazes, both overt and covert, from the crowd, Xue Baochai felt nervous; this was almost a high-stakes gamble.
She almost lost her breath, completely absorbed in the words of the Goddess of Wealth: either she would leap over the dragon gate or she would die without a burial place.
Being noticed by monks and Taoist priests could also be someone like Qin Keqing...
"So, you're going to offer the golden lock to me? How clever of you!"
Ling Xiao deftly took the golden lock, her fingertips tracing its surface inch by inch. Finding nothing extraordinary, she secretly curled her lip.
They don't even know to use real props, they have no professional ethics whatsoever, no wonder they're so bad!
Looking up at the nervous Xue Baochai, he tossed the gold lock into the air with a hint of admiration:
"That Shenying Attendant is quite lucky with women. Jinghuan has painstakingly arranged several love tribulations for him, and you are one of them. This golden lock is no good thing."
"It's a perfect match for that Sky-Mending Stone. No matter what your ambitions are, in the end you'll only be competing with Crimson Pearl, wasting your own fortune and giving back to Fairy Illusion."
In a few words, Ling Xiao had fabricated the whole story and stuffed the gold lock into her spatial storage.
Unbelievable! He has the magic jade, he has the golden lock, and as for Lin Daiyu's tears—with Ling Xiao's skill, they're a piece of cake; he'll make her cry in no time.
"I won!" That was the only thought in Xue Baochai's mind for a moment.
This clever and quick-witted young woman, possessing exceptional talent, beauty, and shrewdness, but lacking only a privileged family background, finally found the "favorable wind" that would propel her to great heights.
Others were also incredulous; in a short period of time, several "fairies" suddenly appeared among their familiar sisters and cousins.
Oh, I forgot about the fairy boy Baoyu.
It's like the villagers outside of Liu Bang's small gang watching as those who sold dog meat, were petty thugs, and were minor officials one day transformed into super big shots.
How indescribable this feeling is!
"Alright, what are you all standing there for? My stock isn't all cleared out yet... no, it's sold out."
The young girl, who was considered the Goddess of Wealth, stomped her foot, then realized that she had inadvertently revealed something, so she simply stopped pretending—in everyone's eyes.
Pointing at the dazed Jia Zhen, he said, "Fine, you'll get off easy." With a thud, a pile of dusty treasure chests landed beside him.
The God of Wealth, resorting to forceful buying and selling, arrogantly declared:
"These are all on your behalf, Jia. I don't think you'd want your true identity as Ke Qing'er to be revealed, would you?"
Keqing, her true identity.
Jia Zhen snapped out of his self-pity and looked at the huge pile of treasure chests, saying with heartache:
"Goddess of Wealth, I want all these treasure chests!"
The God of Wealth gave a "you know what's good for you" look, and with a wave of his hand, countless gold and silver ingot spirits, their two matchstick legs moving swiftly, crawled towards the Ningguo Mansion's treasury.
"Cash on delivery. The treasure chest is yours; this God of Wealth won't trouble you to carry the gold and silver."
The God of Wealth spoke very quickly.
It seems that the treasure chests that ended up in Jia Zhen's hands were of very poor quality, which saddened everyone.
Jia Zhen, the sucker, opened his mouth, "Should I thank you, God of Wealth?"
The system stared in disbelief at its host's series of actions, selling the goods, collecting the gold lock, and ripping off Jia Zhen, who disgusted her, without compromising its persona.
My host, one section is stronger than six!
