The shady shop owner, exposed by Tong Su, remained calm and even somewhat dismissive, saying, "You should know, I need to make money too."
What a rip-off!
Tong Su gritted her teeth: "Fine. But I want to open a Star Coin storage card, and I'll have to ask the boss to deposit the money in it."
The boss's face beamed with a smile, "Sure, but I can process your card application here, but there's an account opening fee of forty coins."
A thousand coins is a lot, and carrying it empty-handed would easily attract the attention of thugs. E976-INE86 isn't without other shops that buy them; perhaps you could get a higher price there. But of all the shops, this one has the highest reputation.
Some shady shops will steal all the money from customers as soon as they leave after they've bought something inside.
They cheat people out of their money and goods; their methods are despicable.
Yang's mother had some objections to wasting forty coins to open a memory card, but seeing that Tong Su had already made up her mind, she thought about it and didn't say anything.
Tongsu pulled her along to choose food, but she had already made up her mind.
It can no longer be sold here; the price is too low. Fortunately, there will be an auction when it's uploaded later, so she can go and check it out then.
After leaving the shady shop, Tongsu instructed Yang's mother to suppress the joy on her face. Yang's mother knew that this planet was too chaotic, so she nodded to show that she understood, and silently carried the food home.
After dinner, Yang's mother went to bed early as usual. She was physically weak and prone to illness, so Tongsu kept an eye on her to prevent her from overworking herself.
Back in the room, the black sword was hanging on the wall. Tong Su said, "San San, tonight you go outside the door. You are not allowed to come in while I am sleeping."
"What is San San?!"
Tong Su raised an eyebrow: "You're only worth three coins, about the same as a pickled cabbage. I don't even know your name, San San, which is better than pickled cabbage, right? I think it's quite fitting."
Xuan Ting was rendered speechless by her retort, and said angrily, "Xuan Ting! My name is Xuan Ting! Don't call me that 'three' stuff—"
"Okay, San San, no problem, San San."
"Hey! Don't call me that!"
Tongsu ignored him completely and started making the bed: "San San, I'm going to sleep, you can leave."
Xuan Ting's semi-transparent figure floated high in the air, his chin held high in an arrogant gesture, attempting to project a mocking image.
"What? You think I would have any ill intentions, you little brat? I've seen plenty of stunning beauties throwing themselves at me on this imperial planet, I wouldn't even consider you!"
“Well, this,” Tong Su said calmly, “I’m not afraid of you having thoughts about it, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the mockery he had deliberately put on his face froze instantly. If his body hadn't been a floating soul, he would have definitely fallen to the ground!
"You shameless woman—"
The boy raised his hand in shame and indignation, as if he had seen some kind of herb thief. His expression was terrified, yet there was also a strange emotion hidden in his heart. He could only cover it up by shouting.
Tong Su exclaimed in surprise, realizing the ambiguity of her words. She then calmly replied, "I mean, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and will kick you out."
My heart, pounding wildly, froze.
“After all,” she said with a look of disgust, “it’s only worth three coins, but I have to earn millions of coins to buy a ticket. Even a losing business wouldn’t be this bad.”
Xuan Ting: "..."
For the first time, he felt ashamed.
—Not to mention the Emperor and Empress, probably no one in the entire empire would have imagined that their dignified Crown Prince, the God of War, has now fallen into the state of being a kept man.
"Actually, I'm not completely useless!"
Xuan Ting argued forcefully: "Although I am only a spiritual being, I can still use my power for a short time. If there is any danger, I can protect you..."
He opened his mouth instinctively, but as soon as he finished speaking, he bit his tongue.
—What, did he evolve from a gigolo into a bodyguard? And he even has a strange sense of pride about him?
