After finishing the housework, the bricks that needed to be moved still had to be moved. Before checking out, Tu Nian did not forget to pinch his fingers to change his face.
Bo Qiu was waiting outside the door. When he saw her come out, he looked her up and down, then jokingly said, "Why, don't you want to keep a low profile today?"
Tu Nian walked downstairs while fixing her hair, "Being too low-key will easily lose potential customers."
Yesterday, while sitting near the brothel, she watched helplessly as many girls gathered around her because of the excitement, and then quietly left when they saw her image of a bearded uncle. This development seriously violated her original intention. She wanted to persuade the love-brained people to leave, not the rich women.
Bo Qiu followed her and said, "You must go to that brothel."
It's really strange. When she first met Xu Chi before the fight, she had a special liking for that place. She is clearly a little girl, but her hobbies are so heavy.
Little did she know that he thought Tu Nian was weird, while Tu Nian thought he was old-fashioned. Arriving at the front desk, she called the cashier and said to Bo Qiu, "Speculation, where there's demand there's a market. If I meet two girls who both like my talismans, which one of them, with their hair in pairs, is the more likely victim?"
It's hard to blame Bo Qiu for being old-fashioned. This kind of thinking is ahead of its time in this world, no matter how you look at it. Bo Qiu had never heard of it before, but he could understand why it was so impressive. He couldn't help but praise it, saying, "That's a novel idea."
"Just use your brain."
After the cashier came to settle the bill, Tu Nian put away the money bag and turned to smile at him, "It's okay. You are old and your thinking is backward. I don't blame you."
Bo Qiu's eyebrows twitched.
Although more than three thousand years is long enough for a demon, whenever people in the world mention his three thousand years of cultivation, they always say that he is powerful. Who would say he is old because of his age?
What particularly concerned him was what her coaxing tone meant.
"The spirits' perception of time is different from yours."
Following her to the street, Bo Qiu spoke calmly, trying to make his excuses sound like an ordinary explanation without any fuss.
"Oh, really?"
Tu Nian really didn't understand this, and since she was busy looking for a suitable stall, she casually replied, "What's the point of being three thousand years old among the monsters?"
“…”
Bo Qiu was silent. He hated it, but did he have to shoot himself in the foot?
Fortunately, Tu Nian didn't take this casual question to heart. They arrived early today, and most of the stalls in Wozhou had not yet opened, so many good locations were vacant. As she walked around, she soon fell in love with the open space in front of a brothel.
She thought it was effortless, so she went over happily. Just as she was about to set up the stall, it suddenly got dark above her head. Then, before she could react, a strong force pulled her away from behind. A sword-like wind passed by her nose. When she regained consciousness, her back was covered in cold sweat.
Looking up, he saw that the other person was just dressed as a servant, but his cultivation was actually at the peak of the Golden Core Realm.
With his eyelids lowered, Tu Nian blocked Bo Qiu's imminent move and bowed to him leisurely. "I wonder where I have offended you to cause you to attack me so suddenly?"
Bo Qiu looked at her in confusion, but received a soothing look in return, which stunned him.
This girl, wouldn't she think he's a fool?
Don’t mention it, he really guessed it right.
"We can't beat him. Let's fight first, and then run away." Tu Nian whispered to him.
Why are you running away when you can’t win?
Looking at her cautious appearance, Bo Qiu felt amused and was about to explain to her, but the servant with the Golden Core cultivation level responded to Tu Nian's words first.
"Boy, is this your first day in Vaud?"
The servant casually swung his sword and looked at the two men impatiently, "You are not allowed to set up a stall in front of my restaurant."
"you……"
"You are right, fellow Daoist."
Finally, when the man finished speaking, Bo Qiu wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Tu Nian halfway. In the end, under her winking, he had to compromise, took a step back, and watched the child making a fuss with a smile.
Compared to his calmness, Tu Nian was much more depressed. She thought to herself that her ancestor was really used to being a master, so why didn't he have the slightest sense of being a loser? With his chat skills that could make people choke, she was really afraid that she would die young before she could make amends for him.
Giving the young Jindan servant a sincere smile, Tu Nian muttered to himself while discussing the matter without delay, "Fellow Daoist, this is indeed our first time in Wozhou, so we're not familiar with some of the rules. When we passed by your house yesterday, we saw that your stall was still open, but we didn't expect it to be closed today."
"What are you talking about?"
The man sneered and said, "I said you can't set up a stall, and that's what I mean. You poor, unlucky fellow, want to set up a stall in front of our restaurant? Do you think you're worthy?"
His curses were harsh, but Tu Nian didn't show any sign of anger. Instead, he understood something from his words.
"Isn't what you said obvious?"
She smiled, took a half step forward, and said, "Since I'm willing to set up a stall here, I certainly won't take yours for nothing. I'll give you two percent of the profit from my stall today. How about that?"
"Just you?"
The man raised his chin and looked Tu Nian up and down with half-lowered eyes, then sneered, "He's not even as well dressed as the waiter in my restaurant. I'm afraid the turnover this day won't even be enough for my daughter to take back the guests."
It’s not enough to just say it, it won’t work if you don’t say it.
These two sentences revealed the man's true intentions, and Tu Nian immediately understood what was going on. He continued to flatter him, "Fellow Daoist, don't look at us dressed in rough clothes. This is just for convenience."
As she spoke, she took out a few talismans from the mustard seeds and showed them to him with both hands. "We sell talismans, so turnover is not a problem. If you don't believe me, you can give us a try for a few hours. If it doesn't work, we can leave."
"He's selling talismans."
Grabbing the talisman, the servant glanced at it nonchalantly before casually stuffing it into his lapel. "Let me take a fifty-grade one and have a look first."
"That's no problem."
Tu Nian took out the purse from the mustard seed and spread it out in front of the other person.
The sparkling spirit stones were piled up in an orderly manner inside. Tu Nian didn't know whether the servant had counted them or not, but she knew that there were exactly fifty spirit stones inside.
This was all she had. If she hadn't raised the price when she sold the talismans yesterday, and after last night's squandering, she really wouldn't be able to afford these fifty top-grade items.
“Wow, there really is one.”
No matter how arrogant the other party was, he was just a servant. Seeing so many spirit stones placed in front of him, he couldn't remain calm.
Tu Nian was quick and closed the cloth bag immediately when he saw his eyes change.
"how?"
Seeing that she could easily take out fifty top-grade products, the servant's arrogant attitude immediately disappeared, and was replaced by a smiling expression.
Putting his sword behind him, he bowed slightly and said, "I didn't expect you to be so well hidden. The stall is easy to deal with. Pay a deposit of thirty high-quality coins, and this place will be yours today."
