Chapter 27: "Bibi Dong's Skepticism: Unraveling the Mystery of the Mysterious Shop"
Ye Xuan looked at the girl in front of him, speechless. How did you learn to mock people at such a young age?
"This is a place for wealthy people. Forget about a girl like you. Go home quickly and don't worry your family," Ye Xuan said somewhat helplessly.
Xue Ke pursed her lips, as if she hadn't heard Ye Xuan's words, and said indifferently, "Why are you so stingy? After all, we're old friends. How can you push me away? For the sake of our old friendship, please lend me 10 million soul gold coins and let me open a purple gold treasure chest."
Ye Xuan almost spat blood at these words. What is this, and what are we to each other? Are you so familiar? Ye Xuan isn't even interested in deceiving such a young girl.
"It's a small business, and we don't accept credit. However, if you have something with you, you can bring it, and I can give you a quote. For example, your dog," Ye Xuan said with a smile.
Xue Ke wasn't fooled; she sat directly on the stool and shouted at Ye Xuan, "Bring a cup of tea, and let the tea leaves be of good quality. Merchant, anyway, you have nothing to do. This princess will stay with you today. Of course, there's no need for you to be too moved; just think of it as a sign between old friends."
For a moment, Ye Xuan felt that the person standing in front of him wasn't a ten-year-old girl but a mature woman who had traveled the world. But after that feeling subsided, what he saw was a little girl pretending to be mature.
Regardless, Ye Xuan was still a bit moved. After all, it would be nice to have someone to talk to when he's bored.
After fetching the precious tea leaves, Ye Xuan played with them and sat next to Xue Ke with the tea in hand.
"I'm running a small business. Unlike the princess, who has the support of the entire empire behind her, it's very difficult for the owner of a small shop like me. I have to be constantly cautious of people like Her Royal Highness who come to fight against the wind. Living in this city of Tiandou, it's really not easy," Ye Xuan said sadly.
Xue Ke pursed her lips and said disdainfully, "How much money did my brother the prince spend here last time? It seems like 10 million soul gold coins. I'm afraid you're richer than our royal family. Tell me quietly, please. How much money do you have? Don't worry, this princess is a noble and will never covet your money."
Ye Xuan looked at Xue Ke's greedy look and nodded solemnly, expressing his absolute disbelief. I believe Xue Ke is definitely a money-grubbing person.
"Merchant, do you think we are good friends?" Xue Ke asked seriously.
Ye Xuan thought about it carefully, but still didn't understand. It seemed that it was the second time he and Xue Ke had met. How could they be good friends?
Seeing that Ye Xuan didn't respond, Xue Ke said to herself, "Since we're all good friends, and now you, a good friend, are in trouble, shouldn't I do everything possible to help? Feel free to tell me. If you lend me a million soul gold coins and let me buy something nice as a gift for my brother, he'll be super grateful." "Didn't you say you're not greedy for my money?" Ye Xuan said with a resentful face.
"Yes, I'm borrowing it, not taking it, not stealing it. I'll pay you back. Don't you still believe in the relationship between us? Or do you still doubt that I, the princess, can't repay you?" Xue Ke said a bit anxiously.
Ye Xuan looked at her nervous face and said with a smile, "There's no money." Ye Xuan has always been thinking about other people's money, but he never thought that one day he would be worried about his own money.
Seeing the furious yet helpless look of Princess Xueke, Ye Xuan burst into laughter. This little girl is really cute; after all, she hasn't experienced many things, is well protected, and her thoughts are naturally a bit simple.
No matter how pitiful Xue Ke acted, no matter how much she pleaded, she still hadn't obtained a single penny before leaving.
"You deserve to have no friends. You're so stingy and cautious that you can't even find a woman. You'll die alone all your life. In the end, you'll spend your whole life guarding your money. I won't come here again. People like you don't deserve to have a charming and beautiful friend like me," angrily said Xue Ke.
After saying that, she took her dog and left without even looking back, without the slightest nostalgia.
Finally, she left, and my ears finally cleared.
This Princess Xue Ke really shattered all the beautiful illusions Ye Xuan had about princesses.
Unexpectedly, Princess Xue Ke returned in the afternoon.
It's still the same rhetoric, still the same expression, and the result is still that there's no loan.
This continued for several days, and when Ye Xuan finally saw the girl coming, he really felt that he liked her.
In a hall of the Wuhun Palace, Pope Bibi Dong looked at Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo standing below, expressionless.
Not a sound was heard in the entire hall; the two titled Douluos remained motionless, like two sculptures.
It was as if all the air was frozen.
After a long time, Bibi Dong said slowly, "Who are you? You two, titled Douluos, were expelled without any resistance. You don't even know how you were expelled, don't know how you left the city of Tiandou at that moment. Did you find out that you were a little injured, so you found a place to heal your wounds and waited until your wounds were completely healed before returning? Although Bibi Dong's words were very slow, the meaning contained in them was as cold as ice.
Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo shook and lowered their heads, not daring to look at Bibi Dong.
"Do you think I'll believe you?" Bibi Dong said coldly.
If they hadn't experienced it personally, Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo wouldn't believe what they experienced, but it was something they personally went through, so they couldn't help but believe it.
"But is everything we said true?" Ju Douluo whispered.
Bibi Dong smiled, feeling that these two bastards were challenging her intelligence and mocking her; they were so bold that they didn't take her seriously at all, and they could even express such nonsense.
"The owner of that small shop sells various treasure chests, ranging from one hundred soul gold coins to ten million soul gold coins." Before Bibi Dong finished speaking, she remembered that before the elders left, they took away 300 million soul gold coins.
Is it really a coincidence? Is that small shop really the target of those elders and Qian Daoliu?
For a while, Bibi Dong became somewhat interested in that small shop.
