Chapter 568: Treat It Well

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A small human-shaped stone statue the size of a woman’s fist cost five million ghost coins.
Before Xue Fanxin could react, the people around her opened their mouths first.
“Miss, I knew he would raise the price. There have been similar occurrences in the past. Every time someone wanted to buy a stone sculpture, even if they liked it, he would always raise the price.”
“Forget about five million, even five hundred is too much for a lousy stone. Miss, don’t be deceived by this old guy’s mysterious appearance. He likes to pretend, making people think that his stone sculpture is priceless.”
“He’s saying five million ghost coins now. Once you agree, he’ll raise the price. He often does this kind of thing. Anyway, he won’t sell the stone statue, unless you can offer a price that satisfies him.”!!
The owner of the stone statue stall didn’t give ear to their complaints. His gaze remained on Xue Fanxin. “This price is just right. It will be sold for five million ghost coins, with a time limit of ten breaths. If you can pay, the stone statue will belong to you.”
In ten breaths… in less than a minute.
According to the owner, if she could not take out five million ghost coins in ten breaths, the stone statue would not be sold.
This was the first time Xue Fanxin had seen someone conduct business like this. Everyone said that customers were gods, but to the stone statue owner, it seemed the other way around.
But for some reason, she liked the stone statue. She took out the five million ghost coins without hesitation. “Here you go.”
Anyway, she earned this sum for nothing. Even if it was just an ordinary stone, it would not be a loss.
The surrounding crowd exploded. All of them said that she was stupid. Some even wanted to pull her to their stall, thinking that she was a fat sheep.
It was rare to meet such a dumb person with money. How could they not covet her?
Xue Fanxin ignored them. After paying, she asked for confirmation, “Owner, does this stone statue belong to me now?”
“It’s yours.” The owner’s tone seemed to be a little reluctant. He stared straight at the stone sculpture in Xue Fanxin’s hand and took a few more looks before retracting his gaze. Then, he put the rest of the stone sculptures into his interspatial ring. It seemed like he was going to close the stall. Before leaving, he even reminded her, “You must treat it well, or I’ll come back and take it.”
“Ah?” Xue Fanxin did not understand what the owner meant at all. She watched him leave in a daze, still thinking about his last sentence.
It was just a stone statue. It was not alive. Why should she treat it well?
“What a strange person.”
From the beginning to the end, Ye Jiushang had not said a word. The matter of buying the stone statue was up to Xue Fanxin. After the owner left, he said, “We should leave too.”
“The money has already been spent. It’s indeed time to return.” Xue Fanxin put away her messy thoughts. She threw the stone statue into the Reverse Spirit Heaven Wheel’s space and left with Ye Jiushang, ignoring the onlookers.
No matter what others said, she just wanted to be happy.
