Chapter 231: The Identity of the Woman in the Green Skirt
After Lin Dong bid one million for the Luminous Pearl with negative energy, he did not continue to bid for anything else.
When the auction was over, Lin Dong stayed behind.
He had already acquired the Luminous Pearl, but the century-old python was still locked in a large iron cage.
He had to wait for Qian Fuguo's people to kill the python, and then make the final payment, before he could take the snake away.
Lin Dong followed Qian Fuguo and others to the backyard.
Qian Fuguo laughingly said, "Mr. Lin, our staff will come soon to inject the century-old python with an anesthetic. After it's sedated, we'll slaughter it!"
"After killing it, we'll hand the century-old python over to you, and then you'll pay."
Lin Dong nodded. He had to admit that the service at the Qian family's underground auction was quite good.
He stood to the side, waiting.
But at this moment, the girl in the green dress, accompanied by Mr. Shuijing, came over.
The two approached Lin Dong, and the girl in green, with her chin up, said:
"Sell us the century-old python at the original price, and we'll owe you a favor!"
Lin Dong glanced at her and flatly refused, "Sorry, not for sale! I need this snake myself."
Upon hearing this, the girl in green hmphed.
Mr. Shuijing, her companion, laughed and said, "Young man, don't be hasty in refusing. After you know our identity, you can still answer."
"I believe, once you know our identity, you'll understand how precious our favor is!"
"Forget a few billion, even ten billion or tens of billions can't buy our favor."
Hearing this speech, Lin Dong just shrugged his shoulders and asked instinctively:
"Oh? And who might you be?"
The girl in green hmphed again and said, "There aren't many people here, so I'll tell you!"
"Listen up, don't be so frightened you fall to the ground..."
"My identity is that of Li Yanran of the Li family from the Capital City!"
Upon revealing her identity, Lin Dong looked bewildered.
He had never heard of her!
However, Qian Fuguo beside him exclaimed in shock and took a sharp intake of breath.
"You… you're really Miss Li Yanran?" After saying the name, Qian Fuguo's voice trembled.
Li Yanran ignored Qian Fuguo and instead looked towards Lin Dong with an air of arrogance.
"Now that you know my identity, you realize how prestigious my favor is, right?"
Yet Lin Dong just shrugged again and replied indifferently, "Sorry, I've never heard your name! And as I said, I don't need your favor. Nor will I sell the century-old python to you!"
"I need this python for myself!"
Hearing this, Li Yanran, the girl in green, was incredulous. She could not believe that in Dragon Country, there was someone who did not know her name.
Mr. Shuijing was also stunned for a long time but then immediately said, "You really don't know our young miss? Then do you know who our young master is?"
Lin Dong curled his lip, "I don't know, and I don't want to know. Enough, I don't want to hear any more nonsense from you."
"I'll say it one last time, I don't care who you are, I won't sell the snake to you."
Li Yanran, the girl in green, and Mr. Shuijing were stunned.
Qian Fuguo quickly stepped forward and said to Lin Dong:
"Mr. Lin, would you like to reconsider?"
"Even if this snake is very important to you, it's not worth as much as owing you a favor."
"Don't you know that in addition to being the precious daughter of the wealthy Li family from the Capital City, Miss Li Yanran is also the younger cousin of Lin Tiance, ranked first in the Tiger Rankings?"
Hearing this, Lin Dong frowned.
He had heard of Lin Tiance.
Seeing Lin Dong's reaction, Li Yanran and Mr. Shuijing began to show a hint of a smile on their faces once again.
It seemed he was about to go back on his word...
Seeing this, Qian Fuguo hurriedly continued:
"You must know Young Master Lin Tiance, right?"
"He's a real proud son of heaven born into the big Lin family of our Dragon Country!"
"His father is the fifth-ranked expert in the Dragon Rankings, and the family members are leaders in various industries!"
"A century-old noble family is nothing compared to them! If you could owe him a favor, wouldn't that be a tremendous opportunity?"
Qian Fuguo was filled with regret in his heart.
If he had known the girl in green's identity earlier, he would have bought the century-old python himself and given it to her.
Then that favor would have been his!
But alas, there is no medicine for regret!
The girl in green once again spoke arrogantly:
"You haven't heard my name, but you must have heard of my cousin, right?"
"Now, are you willing to sell us the century-old python at the original price?"
Mr. Shuijing also stroked his beard and laughingly said:
"And that Luminous Pearl you bid for just now. Truth be told, keeping it is not to your advantage. The evil energy it harbors is too intense for you to handle."
"It would be better to sell it to me at the original price, which would effectively save your life!"
Listening to the two of them, Lin Dong was increasingly speechless.
These two, with their not-so-simple backgrounds, could have competed with him during the auction if they really wanted something.
Who would have thought that people of such status would be so stingy?
Unwilling to spend the money, they were now trying to bluff him with the so-called favor.
Given such character, would they even fulfill their promised favor?
Even if by chance they proved true to their word, honestly, Lin Dong didn't care.
In Lin Dong's eyes, the value of the century-old python and the Luminous Pearl far exceeded the worth of the favor they spoke of.
It was essential for him to cultivate to the fourth stage of the Nine Shifts Longevity Scripture; how could he possibly just hand it over?
"Mr. Lin, you're going to soar to great heights! To think you could owe Young Master Lin Tiance a favor!"
Qian Fuguo said enviously.
Li Yanran held her chin high, acting as if being able to owe her a favor was an incredible honor.
Mr. Shuijing was stroking his beard, a smile playing on his lips. To him, only a fool would refuse such an exchange.
But at this moment, Lin Dong nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders:
"I've said it before, I'm not selling the snake to anyone. If you don't have anything else, you can leave!"
This statement shocked everyone, leaving them with looks of disbelief on their faces.
