"Hmph, how could I be as cunning as him?!" Ye Qiu snorted, pursed his lips, and tossed the crystal up and down in his hand.
"I just wanted to spend a little less. Who knows, maybe he didn't earn any less either."
Fifty gold spirit coins.
In Ye Qiu's opinion, it was still a bit much.
However, if he haggled any further, Flander, that stingy old rooster, would definitely notice something and then demand an exorbitant price.
Ye Qiu had even prepared for Flander to chase after him, which was why he quickly ducked into a small alley.
Seeing Ye Qiu act innocent after getting a bargain, Ah Yin snorted irritably, but couldn't help asking curiously:
"Ye Qiu, where are we going next?"
"Next, we're going to— *hiss*!"
*Thump!*
Before Ye Qiu could finish answering Ah Yin, a muffled sound came.
"Ow, what the heck!"
Ye Qiu felt like he had hit a door panel.
The crystal in his hand fell to the ground.
At the same time, a cry of pain sounded in front of Ye Qiu.
"Ah, so painful~"
The voice was sweet and pleasant, a little childish.
Ye Qiu looked down; it was a lovely young girl.
She looked to be around his age, and her simple white dress gave her a clean look.
She had cyan eyes, brown hair, smooth skin, delicate features, and a gentle, noble aura.
At this moment, she was sitting on the ground, rubbing her bottom and her flat chest, with a hint of crystalline moisture in the corners of her eyes.
Without even lifting her head, she gritted her teeth and cursed angrily.
"Damn it! Where did this wild kid come from, daring to crash into this young lady!"
Ye Qiu was stunned.
How could this woman, who looked so gentle, weak, and full of noble aura, say things that completely contradicted her demeanor?
After cursing, the girl finally looked up at Ye Qiu—the culprit who had knocked her down.
"What are you looking at?! Hurry up and help this young lady up! If I'm injured anywhere, you won't be able to afford the compensation!"
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow.
Delicate and lovely features, looked wealthy or noble, average figure, spoke with arrogance.
Exactly like the template of that little devil girl.
With a slight movement of thought, a purple light flickered in Ye Qiu's eyes.
Purple Demon Eyes!
The spirit power fluctuations on the girl were clearly visible; she indeed had spirit power around level twenty-something.
Based on this, Ye Qiu could roughly determine her identity.
"Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu! Are you okay?"
A voice kept sounding in Ye Qiu's mind.
Ah Yin frowned.
She had been calling for a long time, but Ye Qiu seemed not to hear.
He was just staring blankly at the girl.
"I'm fine."
Coming back to his senses, Ye Qiu finally responded to Ah Yin.
"Hmph! Pervert~"
Ah Yin snorted coldly.
While feeling relieved, she also felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Silently watching the young girl who had appeared in Ye Qiu's line of sight, Ah Yin felt as if Ye Qiu seemed to know this girl.
"Still looking?!"
"Look again, and this young lady will dig out your eyes, believe it or not?!"
The girl sat on the ground, her voice arrogant.
She looked coldly at Ye Qiu, her expression fierce and unfriendly.
Ye Qiu just gave the girl a meaningful glance, ignoring her.
He leisurely picked up the crystal he had dropped on the ground.
But the girl was relentless.
"Hey! You guy, didn't you hear this young lady's words?!"
"Hurry up and help this young lady up!"
"Quickly, be snappy about it!"
As her voice fell, a hint of cunning flashed in the girl's eyes.
Her small hand behind her back had secretly found a large wooden stick on the ground.
Frowning, she stared intently at Ye Qiu, just waiting for him to squat down so she could smash his 'eggs' and then bash his head in.
Suddenly!
The head-sized crystal in Ye Qiu's hand suddenly disappeared.
The girl's cyan eyes flashed, and she looked at Ye Qiu in surprise, saying:
"You're a Spirit Master?!"
"Yeah."
Ye Qiu nodded, saying calmly.
The girl looked Ye Qiu over, raised her pretty eyebrows, tilted her head, and said in surprise:
"You can actually talk?!"
"This young lady thought you were a mute..."
A few black lines appeared on Ye Qiu's forehead, and he rolled his eyes at her inwardly.
He chuckled lightly and asked with concern:
"What about you? Are you okay?"
After learning that Ye Qiu was a Spirit Master, the girl quietly put down the wooden stick in her hand.
She snorted coldly and stood up.
"I won't die!"
The girl patted her bottom, dusting off her clothes.
Ye Qiu looked at her in surprise, saying:
"You can get up?!"
"I thought you were crippled just now."
"Bastard! What nonsense are you talking about... This young lady won't be crippled!"
"You're clearly blind! You crashed into me—"
Hearing Ye Qiu's words, the girl immediately glared with wide eyes, her little face flushed with anger.
She actually looked quite pleasing to the eye.
Aside from her terrible figure, her face and build were impeccable.
"Pfft~ Haha, Ye Qiu, you're really too wicked~"
Ah Yin was also amused by Ye Qiu's words.
This guy really refused to suffer any loss.
Glancing at the stick on the ground, Ye Qiu also couldn't help but laugh.
He had seen the girl's little action of picking up the stick.
However, it was also true that he hadn't paid much attention to the road just now while talking to Ah Yin.
Therefore, Ye Qiu apologized with some grace.
"I'm really sorry."
"Since you're fine, I'll be going now."
Having said that, Ye Qiu lifted his feet, preparing to leave.
There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Even if the girl in front of him really was Ning Rongrong, now was not a good time to suggest 'combining'.
"Hey!"
Ye Qiu was about to leave, but the girl wasn't happy and immediately called out to stop him.
"You, a dignified Spirit Master, crashed into me, a weak woman.
Is just saying sorry enough?"
"I haven't even said I accept your apology yet!"
At this moment, she blocked Ye Qiu.
She no longer referred to herself as "this young lady," but stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Ye Qiu with an unhappy expression.
"Weak woman?!"
There was genuine surprise in Ye Qiu's eyes.
Because he had already seen the scene around the corner of the alley.
It was a dead end, and several figures were lying there haphazardly, most of them clutching their crotches, holding their heads, and crying out in pain.
"I say... you can't really be considered a weak woman, can you?"
Ye Qiu pointed at them, looking at the girl in front of him with a strange gaze.
Although those lying inside were all ordinary people, for a young girl to be able to take down these guys, no matter how you look at it, she wasn't too weak.
Ye Qiu then pointed at the stick on the ground and smiled teasingly.
"Besides, you were planning to use the same method on me just now, weren't you?"
Being looked at like this by Ye Qiu, a hint of blush appeared on the girl's face, but she quickly composed herself.
She huffed angrily.
"Hmph! It's precisely because I'm a weak woman that they coveted me!"
"Those perverted things deserve what they got!"
