Chapter 150
Doing business with merchants is a laborious and tiring job.
emmmm...this is the case for ordinary accountants.
However, Lin Qingqiu is not ordinary at all.
As a person who has been around the demonic world, he has long been accustomed to speaking one thing to one person and another thing to another.
Even though he no longer needed to care about other people's feelings after becoming the Demon Lord, it didn't mean that he had forgotten this skill.
So, when he was negotiating with the merchants in the town, the people in the village who were watching saw what it meant to speak eloquently and make wonderful speeches.
Lin Qingqiu basically made the originally confident merchant sweat profusely with just his mouth, and finally had to give an extremely high price.
Those who were responsible for transporting grain in the village were stunned.
The price originally offered by this grain merchant was already very good, but he was too cunning and always resorted to trickery, which made Lin Tianlong and his companions afraid to do business with him even without an accountant.
After all... the bandits have all turned over a new leaf, so even if they are deceived, it is not easy to fight and kill them. It is better to eliminate any possible deception from the beginning.
Originally, they thought that even if they kidnapped a pretty boy, even if he really couldn't do it, they could still fool people for a while by pretending to be good. But... they never expected that the person they thought they had found was a bronze medalist, but turned out to be a king.
Ahem... The above is what Cheng Hui inferred after observing the expressions of the villagers.
Anyway, from the beginning to the end, Aqiu acted with ease and had the grain merchant completely under his control.
In the end, the grain merchant couldn't help but secretly ask Aqiu if he was interested in going to the capital with him to develop.
Aqiu: ...
Cheng Hui: ...Hold it in, don't laugh!!! ...o((≧▽≦o) !!!
Aqiu was very tempted but refused. The grain merchant was very sorry when he left, and looked like he and Aqiu sympathized with each other.
Aqiu: ...
When Aqiu took the people in the village to go shopping, Cheng Hui once again witnessed his abilities.
A whole street, from beginning to end, buying anything that might be used in the village, Aqiu waved his hand and bought it!
Of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration, but since the grain was sold at a high price, these people received much more money than expected, and everyone also wanted to buy some more things.
Even some things that I had never considered before were quietly included in the shopping list.
Buy a beautiful hairband for your daughter.
Buy some straw crickets for your youngest son.
Buy a silver hairpin for your wife.
On the way back, these once funny guys all looked happy, and even their smiles were much brighter than when they came.
"We're back!" The leading man in blue waved towards the gate of the stronghold from a distance.
When the people guarding the gate saw the team coming back from selling grain, they guessed from their expressions that they must have had a good harvest and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s great that nothing unexpected happened!
Carrying a lot of things, the group was warmly welcomed as soon as they entered the village gate.
A group of middle-aged women, accompanied by many pretty girls, stared at the young men with covetous eyes, pushed everyone aside, and came to Lin Qingqiu.
Aqiu: ...
Cheng Hui: ...You can't laugh! You absolutely can't laugh! If you laugh again, Ah Qiu will definitely get angry!
Lin Qingqiu gave Cheng Hui a cold look. Cheng Hui looked at his nose and his heart, lowered his head and said nothing, but his ears perked up.
Aqiu glared at him speechlessly, then the corners of his lips curled up, revealing a very bright smile.
In an instant, he seemed to be glowing all over. Liu Qing's appearance, which could only be described as handsome, was elevated to several levels.
Wow!
Cheng Hui was secretly shocked. Oh my god... is this the full-effect beauty filter? How did she suddenly become more beautiful?
After some observation, he suddenly realized that it was not Lin Qingqiu who became more beautiful, but that he had slightly changed his standing posture, allowing the afterglow of the setting sun to shine on his face, adding a layer of holy halo to him.
Cheng Hui: ...Okay, you are so cruel!
Most of the girls were shyly looking at Lin Qingqiu secretly, and sighed as they looked, saying that this young man from outside was really good-looking and much more refined than those rough guys in the village.
This white and tender one is even more beautiful than me...
Girls: ...
Wait, prettier than me???
The girls suddenly began to doubt their lives.
Some girls who were impatient were looking at Lin Qingqiu and comparing his skin with their own.
After confirming that they were two shades darker than the young man, the girls immediately became depressed.
This... this is too depressing!
Fortunately, there were some guys who were darker than them, who helped them regain some confidence.
However, after experiencing this setback, both the girl and the aunt lost interest in getting married.
A match made in heaven, a match made in heaven, these four words are not only used to describe wealth and status, but also appearance.
Before, the aunties just thought that Lin Qingqiu was handsome, but when they saw the comparison between him and the girls with their own eyes...tsk tsk, even the most enthusiastic aunties would be embarrassed to say that their girls were worthy of them.
In short, Lin Qingqiu persuaded these aunts to leave with a successful appearance.
Seeing that the aunties were still enthusiastic but never mentioned blind dates again, Aqiu curled up the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at Cheng Hui beside him.
Cheng Hui was speechless and silently gave him a thumbs up.
Aqiu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, walked over slowly, took his hand, and gently scratched his palm.
Cheng Hui couldn't help but shudder, suppressing the strange feeling and smiled at him.
Aqiu's eyes lit up and his smile became even brighter.
This made Cheng Hui wonder if he was too bad to Aqiu. Why was he so happy when he gave him a little response?
While Aqiu was being pestered by those aunties and asked about what happened down the mountain, Cheng Hui looked down at his hands.
His fingers were long and slender, with some thin calluses on the fingertips. The smooth touch of the other person's fingertips seemed to still linger in his palm. He moved his fingers uncomfortably, and it felt... a little itchy.
It was as if a kitten had gently scratched his heart, and the tingling and sour feeling made him feel inexplicably weak in the waist...
"What are you thinking about? Huh?" Aqiu had sent those aunts away without knowing when, and grabbed his hand and gently fiddled with his fingers.
That "hmm" had a meaningful tone, and Cheng Hui shuddered reflexively when he heard it. Suddenly, the image of the cat girl Aqiu popped up in his mind.
Cheng Hui: ...
He hugged his head tightly. Damn... I must have been influenced by Aqiu, otherwise how could I suddenly think of that kind of thing.
But the more he wanted to delete the picture, the clearer it became.
The cat girl in maid clothes has the same beautiful face as Aqiu, but her sharp eyebrows, bulging Adam's apple, and flat chest all indicate that she is a man.
Cheng Hui: ...He was very sure that he had not confused Aqiu's gender, and he also knew that Aqiu was a man, but he still couldn't help but think that this cat girl was really super cute... He wanted to pet her...
Stop thinking!
Cheng Hui slapped himself hard several times in his heart and cursed his own moral integrity, only then did he drive the delusion of cat girl Aqiu out of his mind.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Aqiu noticed that something was wrong with Cheng Hui and asked with concern.
"It's okay..." Cheng Hui pursed his lips, afraid that he would accidentally say out loud his delusion.
Just imagining that scene made him shudder. Social death was just like that.
"Ahui!" Aqiu exclaimed in surprise.
"What?" Cheng Hui didn't understand, he just felt his nose was a little itchy.
Aqiu's eyes widened, rarely showing such obvious surprise.
"Your nose is bleeding..."
Cheng Hui: …???
Cheng Hui:!!!
Fuck! (a plant)
It's just outrageous!
How could a ghost have a nosebleed?? This isn't cultivation!
Covering his nose in a panic, Cheng Hui ran away in embarrassment.
A Qiu originally wanted to chase after him to see what was happening, but Cheng Hui said that if he dared to go over, he would have a fight with him, so he had to stay where he was.
The people in the village had already bought all the goods they brought back, and the remaining supplies were moved to the warehouse by the guards in the village.
There was a lot of grain stored in the mountain village, and it would need to be sold again tomorrow. After saying goodbye to the others, Aqiu strolled back to the courtyard where he lived.
As expected, Cheng Hui was not in the yard. A Qiu chuckled. Given Cheng Hui's personality, he probably wouldn't be seen in the short term.
He slowly returned to the room, looked at the bedding on the couch, and with an idea in mind, he picked up the teapot on the table and poured the tea on the quilt.
Looking at the soaked quilt, he controlled the corners of his mouth that were curling up wildly and said to himself, "It's time to take it a step further. I need to make him more accustomed to my presence."
At night, Cheng Hui, who had been wandering somewhere, finally came back. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw a large pool of yellow liquid on the quilt that was being hung out to dry.
Cheng Hui: ...Poof!
What the hell? Did someone wet the bed?
He held back his laughter and walked over, wanting to see what was going on, but as he looked, he felt something was wrong.
The smile gradually disappears.jpg
This... this seems to be his quilt!
What the hell? Why is there such a big puddle of tea on his quilt?
He hurried into the house and saw that the small couch where he slept was clean, and the quilt and mattress were gone.
"What's going on in the yard?"
Aqiu put down the book in his hand and said apologetically, "I accidentally spilled tea on your quilt while drinking water this afternoon. I'm so sorry."
Since the other party had apologized so sincerely, Cheng Hui would not dwell on it and waved his hand: "It's okay, everyone has accidents."
"I wet your quilt, so you will have to cover yourself with my quilt at night. Alas, the weather is a bit chilly. I hope it won't be too cold tonight, otherwise it will be uncomfortable." A Qiu sighed slightly and acted as if he was going to apologize with the quilt.
"No, just cover it yourself. I don't care." Cheng Hui quickly waved his hand to refuse.
But Qiu disagreed: "How can that be?! I'm not the irresponsible person. I will definitely compensate you with the quilt. Even if I catch a cold, get tuberculosis, or even die from it, I will never regret it."
Cheng Hui: ...What the hell is this tea talk?
He glanced at Aqiu and said coldly, "If you have something to say, just say it."
Ah Qiu immediately laughed: "A quilt cannot be split in half, but we can sleep together under the same quilt. I have a good sleeping posture, and I promise I won't steal your quilt after I fall asleep."
Cheng Hui: ...Oh wow! You have a pretty good idea!
