Chapter 91 How to Buy from the Auction House 11 Five Thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones...
The beautiful woman kneeling with her head bowed was indeed a sight to behold. Her smooth hair fell down her cheeks, casting shadows on the soft lines of her face, making her look even more pitiful.
It makes you want to do something right away.
Xie Jiaoyue took a deep breath. Luckily, it was her who came today. If it were someone else, she probably wouldn't have been able to resist such a huge temptation.
But all she wanted to do was earn spirit stones.
"Get up quickly, I didn't mean that."
Xie Jiaoyue naturally knew that the fox clan leader and future demon king in front of her was so humble because she had discovered their identities.
If not now, when should we try to increase our favorability?
"Humans and demons live together on this continent, so naturally we should coexist peacefully. Moreover, demons need human spiritual objects, and humans naturally need demon spiritual objects as well. If you leave now, this auction house will fail, and where will we buy the Azure Flame Gourd in the future?"
Tu Shanxi: "Huh?"
Tu Shanxi raised her head: "Miss Xie, didn't you climb in through the window for this reason?"
Otherwise, why would they climb through the window?
Xie Jiaoyue coughed awkwardly, then began to make up a story: "I knocked on the door, but you didn't open it. I was worried, so I had no choice but to climb in through the window."
With Xiao Chaofeng's help, Tu Shanxi stood up and bowed to Xie Jiaoyue: "I see. Thank you for your concern, Miss. I misunderstood you. Please don't take offense."
Xie Jiaoyue's gaze swept between Tu Shanxi and Xiao Chaofeng. The wariness in their eyes had completely disappeared, leaving only gratitude.
They actually believed her fabricated story completely, without even a hint of doubt.
With your performance, it's really hard to believe you're a potential Demon King.
The future of the demon realm is worrying; it may not even have a future at all.
However, it's better to be deceived by her than by Chu Xingjin. Even if she is a capitalist, she is a capitalist with a conscience.
Xie Jiaoyue said, "I came here not only to inquire about you two, but also because I know that the Lanshan Lane Auction House is experiencing operational problems and is considering selling itself. My fiancé is in dire need of spiritual items and magical treasures, so I thought I'd come and ask if you need a franchisee?"
Tu Shanxi's expression had turned sour as she asked, "What do you mean by 'franchisee'? And who is Miss Xie's fiancé?"
The first question was fine, but the second question was a bit sensitive.
Keeping it a secret could cause problems later, but if she tells the truth directly, the beautiful boss will definitely be more wary and hinder her future plans.
Xie Jiaoyue remained silent for a moment, her mind repeatedly calling out to the system: "System, how much balance do I have left?"
Three thousand high-grade spirit stones.
That's too little.
[The host has accumulated lottery draw chances, which can be used to exchange for spirit stones. After exchanging them all for spirit stones, the host will possess five thousand high-grade spirit stones.]
The money is still too little; making money is not easy, and I sigh every month.
[Exchange all of them for spirit stones.]
[Host, are you sure? That's all your income.]
【Sure. 】
The moment Xie Jiaoyue learned that the spirit stones had arrived in her account, she withdrew them all.
This time, instead of using a spirit stone pouch, she made all the high-grade spirit stones appear behind her, piling up into a small mountain.
Who has ever seen so many high-grade spirit stones at once?! Who has ever seen such a wealthy person?! Are they trying to kill someone by throwing so many high-grade spirit stones at them?!
Excitement, fear, and a variety of other emotions made my heart pound even harder, almost as if it would jump out of my chest.
Xie Lingliu, who was eavesdropping on the rooftop, could only hear heavy breathing, which made her extremely anxious. How many spirit stones were involved? She wanted to see for herself and broaden her horizons.
Don't leave her out of the game!
Xie Jiaoyue, seeing that her emotions had calmed down, answered Tu Shanxi's two questions: "The franchisee means that I want to buy 50% of the Lanshan Lane Auction House. We will run it together in the future. However, since I am not usually in Yicheng, the main responsibility for the operation will fall on you. Therefore, it is better for us to split the profits 30/70, with me getting 30% and you getting 70%."
Compared to the conditions offered by Gong Shiyu, Xie Jiaoyue's conditions were so generous that it was hard to accept them.
After Xie Jiaoyue presented the spirit stones and generous terms, leaving the two people in front of her speechless, she casually said, "My fiancé's surname is Chu and his given name is Xingjin. He comes from an ordinary background but has outstanding talent. I have nothing but spirit stones. In order to support him, I will use spirit stones to search for spiritual objects and treasures for him and do my best to ensure that he has no worries."
Even without any tasks, even if I have to spend the money I've painstakingly saved, my "true love" persona will never crumble!
We still need to make money in the future, so there's no need to feel ashamed.
Tu Shanxi was so shocked by what Xie Jiaoyue said that she was speechless for a long time before she regained her composure: "How many spirit stones do you want to buy it?"
Xie Jiaoyue patted the small hill behind her: "Naturally, it's all of this, five thousand high-grade spirit stones."
Xiao Chaofeng, unable to bear the pain, clutched his heart and leaned against the wall. He frantically sent a telepathic message to Tu Shanxi: "[Leader! That's five thousand high-grade spirit stones! We don't even earn that much in a year! With that, not only can we save the little brats, but we can even raise them to be strong and healthy!]"
Tu Shanxi was so stupid he couldn't even do math. Five thousand high-grade spirit stones were far too much. Even knowing that Xie Jiaoyue's fiancé was Chu Xingjin, who had come with Gongshi Yu, he wouldn't hold a grudge against Xie Jiaoyue.
What wrong could Miss Xie have done by being willing to give them five thousand high-grade spirit stones? Miss Xie is just kind-hearted; she's just blinded by Chu Xingjin.
For a stingy and arrogant man like Chu Xingjin to have a fiancée like Xie Jiaoyue is an incredible stroke of good fortune!
Xie Jiaoyue was the best human he had ever met!
Tu Shanxi was so moved by the five thousand spirit stones that she almost cried. She said in a choked voice, "We don't need that many. Two thousand high-grade spirit stones will be enough."
One thousand high-grade spirit stones were used to solve problems within the clan, and another thousand high-grade spirit stones were used to maintain the operation of the auction house.
In fact, he already had a plan and ideas in mind, but he was short of spirit stones, so he could only make minor repairs and had no way to implement his plan.
Miss Xie is so kind, he can't extort money from her; two thousand spirit stones will suffice.
Xie Jiaoyue wouldn't take back the spirit stones she had already given away, but with Tu Shanxi's support, she took back three thousand spirit stones and then spent them from a different angle.
“We’re about to head to the Azure Kite Secret Realm. It’s dangerous and complicated, so we need to prepare a lot of things.” She had Tu Shanxi take her to the storeroom to start shopping. She bought all sorts of items, including magical treasures, talismans, swords, spears, and halberds.
Because she herself is a sword cultivator, she handles all sorts of spirit swords, the variety of styles of which amazes her.
“I’ll take them all. Even though I’ll be one of the auction house owners in the future, I can’t just take them for free. Here, I’ll use these three thousand high-grade spirit stones to buy them.”
Xie Jiaoyue forcefully placed the spirit stone bag containing three thousand high-grade spirit stones into Tu Shanxi's hand.
A domineering CEO who brooks no refusal.
Tu Shanxi tried to refuse again, saying that these should be given to Xie Jiaoyue, but Xie Jiaoyue covered her mouth with a finger.
"If you don't accept it, I'll have to go buy things elsewhere, and I might have to spend even more spirit stones." She came to the Lanshan Lane Auction House twice today, and both times she didn't act very smart. She seemed like a very easy sucker, especially one with a lot of spirit stones.
Tu Shanxi is over a thousand years old and has raised countless children. In his eyes, Xie Jiaoyue is just a child under twenty. The affection of an elder arises spontaneously, and the responsibility immediately takes on his shoulders.
"I'll accept these spirit stones for now and keep them safe for you. Once the auction house makes a profit, I'll return them to you with interest. I'll now swear an oath to Heaven." With that, Tu Shanxi began writing the oath.
Xie Jiaoyue stopped him, saying, "No need, I trust you." She had a high degree of trust in Tu Shanxi.
Tu Shanxi could no longer hold back and cried with tears streaming down her face: "I will definitely, definitely not let Miss Xie down."
With such a large sum of spirit stones, he will surely run the auction house with great success and will definitely live up to Miss Xie's expectations.
After a while, Xie Jiaoyue left, leaving only Tu Shanxi and Xiao Chaofeng cheering and jumping around the spirit stone, occasionally letting out soft sobs.
On the rooftop, Xie Lingliu was still sitting there enjoying the breeze, unwilling to leave.
She really wanted to see just how many spirit stones that was!
The transaction between Xie Jiaoyue and Tu Shanxi was conducted quietly, and no one knew about it except for the three people involved and Xie Lingliu, who could not hear clearly from the rooftop.
Xie Lingliu was naturally tight-lipped; if she were to reveal it, she would find it difficult to explain how she knew the truth.
As for Tu Shanxi and Xiao Chaofeng, Xie Jiaoyue had specifically instructed them not to tell Chu Xingjin that although she had acquired the auction house because Chu Xingjin needed more spiritual treasures, she wanted to give Chu Xingjin a surprise.
Don't allow Chu Xingjin to take anything from here, otherwise Chu Xingjin won't be surprised enough when he receives something from her.
These two regarded Xie Jiaoyue as their benefactor, so naturally they would not refuse Xie Jiaoyue's request.
Besides, Miss Xie is Miss Xie, and Chu Xingjin is Chu Xingjin. Miss Xie is willing to give because she is kind, and they have no intention of giving things to Chu Xingjin on her behalf.
Gong Shiyu and Chu Xingjin were naturally unaware that the auction house they had their eye on had already been snapped up by someone else.
They are still waiting in Gongshi for Tushanxi to come and beg.
Three days later, Gong Shiyu and the others became increasingly anxious and secretly disguised themselves to go to the auction house to inquire.
The auction house was no longer in its previous dilapidated state. Although there were not many customers, the decor had been completely renovated and was comparable to the top auction houses in Yicheng.
ah?
Author's Note: Xie Lingliu: I really want to see it!
