The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 289 Ten catties per flower

Moran made a move to leave, but the vampire vine panicked and stretched out a small vine to hook the hem of her robe and pull her back. Then, another small vine continued to poke at Lilith.

Now Lilith was also confused about what it meant. She used her telepathic abilities to check and said speechlessly:

"If you're willing to lower the price, why are you selling it to me at such a high price?"

Vampire Vine: "(°艸°)" Oh no, I let it slip!

"I don't care, I still have to be that cheap, otherwise I won't buy your flowers anymore. What difference does it make what kind of potion I make?" Lilith said, dissatisfied.

Vampire Vine had no choice but to nod, urging her to continue negotiating business for him.

Moran could tell at a glance that Senior Lilith had been tricked by this vampire vine.

Before her senior could relay the discounted price, Moran spoke first:

"Ten pounds of flesh and blood for one flower. If you're willing, I'll come and exchange it later. If not, I'll find other bloodsucking vines that are willing to bloom normally, and then I won't have to pay anything."

Even among the revitalized vampire vines, not all are as spiritually potent as this one.

This vampire vine happens to be near the route the witches frequently take to enter and exit the inner area. Taking advantage of its location, it has consumed countless tree-friend spells over the years, which is why it is so intelligent now.

If you switch to a different bloodsucking vine, you can go during its flowering season, control the vines, and pick the flowers directly.

Lilith swallowed back the words "ninety pounds per flower" in her mouth and looked at the vampire vine beside her.

I thought to myself, "I can't agree to this! I've already bargained the price down to one-tenth!"
The vampire vine poked and prodded, saying, "No, no, tell her it's eighty at most!"

Lilith: “!!!”

Surprisingly, he didn't get angry and start hitting me! Does that mean he can really keep offering discounts?
Although Moran hadn't studied mind magic in depth and didn't know telepathy, she had learned mind reading in her introductory course on all magic types. Even though her level wasn't high, she could tell that Vampire Vine was dissatisfied with the price.

"If you don't agree, that's fine," Moran said. "Senior, I'll be going now..."

Before she could finish speaking, her robe was caught on something again.

Now two small vines are clinging to her robe.

“Moran, it makes you use Tree Friend spell on it,” Lilith said with a strange expression.

Moran shook his head: "I can talk about the Tree Friend Technique, but give me three flowers! After all, the Tree Friend Technique can enhance your spirituality."

Both Mind Language and Tree Friendship can be used to communicate with plants. However, Mind Language can also interpret the meanings of some plants and animals with low spirituality, while Tree Friendship can only interpret the meanings of plants that already have a certain degree of spirituality.

Moreover, the Tree Friendship technique itself is beneficial to plants, exchanging energy that is good for their spirituality for the sincere information support from the plants.

This vampire with high spirituality would sell its flowers at a high price, and it even tricked Senior Lilith. Moran naturally didn't want to use the Tree Friend spell on it for nothing, just to negotiate a price with it!
"It won't agree to that, will it?" Lilith said, then looked at the little vine next to her, and it actually nodded!
Although it was clear that it was somewhat reluctant, it still produced three tiny white flowers, each the size of a fingernail, and presented them to Moran.

Moran picked the flower before using the Tree Friend spell on the vampire vine.

The next moment, a thought squeezed into her mind.

"I can sell you ten pounds of flesh and blood for a single flower, but you can't tell Xiaohong that I'm offering you such a low price!"

"Who is Xiao Hong?" Moran asked doubtfully, though she had some guesses, she was still not sure.

When the tip of the vampire vine pointed directly at Senior Lilith, Moran could no longer hold back and burst out laughing: "Hahaha! Little Red!"

Lilith's face flushed red instantly: "This stinky vine! It's given me another weird name!"

With the wands drawn, a large fireball instantly materialized.

Next came Lilith's physical threat, followed by the Vampire Vine's frantic defense, ultimately forcing her to offer five small flowers as compensation. Moran was overjoyed; it seemed Lilith wasn't always being tricked by the Vampire Vine!
After coaxing Lilith, Vampire angrily questioned Moran: "It's all your fault for talking nonsense! I won't sell it to you for ten pounds a flower, at most twenty pounds a flower."

"Really? Then I'll tell Lilith what you just said!" Moran said with a smile.

Vampire Ivy: "m9(`Д)"

"What did it say? What did it say?" Lilith raised an eyebrow and pressed for an answer.

"Okay, okay! Ten pounds per flower, ten pounds per flower, you mustn't tell her!" the Vampire Vine said hurriedly.

“Okay, let’s trade now. I have fifty catties of meat here, caught this morning, but it’s been frozen and isn’t very fresh. How about thirty catties for you?” Moran said.

Seeing that the vampire vine nodded, Moran took out the leftover venison from her bag and thawed it.

The thick, vampire vines began to stir restlessly.

“Give us the flowers first!” Moran said.

The vampire vine has bloomed three more flowers.

Moran picked the flowers before tossing the meat to the large, thick vine.

The thick vine wrapped around the flesh at the base and buried it, then stretched out its body.

"You stinking vine! Give me back the difference in price I paid for it before!" Lilith roared, raising a giant fireball.

The vampire vine, which was engrossed in digesting flesh and blood, froze.

How did she know? Xiao Zi didn't say anything!
"You bought five times in total. Five hundred catties of flesh and blood should have been worth fifty flowers. Immediately give me forty-five more flowers, or I'll burn at least three of your vines to vent my anger today!" Lilith threatened.

The blood-sucking vine shuddered; it was terrified of fire!
Moreover, it is even more afraid that this "generous" ally will run away.

She could only reluctantly replace the flowers, then asked in confusion, "How did you know I sell ten pounds of flesh and blood?"

Lilith: "..."

If you say it's not smart, it has harmed so much of its own flesh and blood; if you say it's smart, it replaced everything right in front of people and still managed to leave a trace somewhere.

But this time she wasn't so kind as to tell it, and snorted coldly, "Don't even think about tricking me again! I know everything!"

Vampire vine: "⊙▃⊙"

Moran smiled, concealing his achievements and fame.

Plants are limited by their fixed growing locations; no matter how intelligent they are, they will lack flexibility due to insufficient knowledge.

Only plants that grow near intelligent races are more flexible.

This vampire vine may often trade with the little witches, but its supply is ultimately limited.

"Senior Lilith, you still need to study the 'Blue Star Business Treasure Trove' carefully! No matter who the target is, you can't underestimate it."

"I understand," Lilith said guiltily.

She was ripped off so badly by this vine because she thought plants wouldn't know how to inflate prices and cheat people.

Especially this vine. When she used her mind-reading ability to look at it, all she could see in its mind was a thirst for flesh and blood. Who knew that it was not only black in appearance, but also black in heart!
If selling flowers is such a rip-off, the contract price must also be too high.

Unfortunately, the contract has already been signed and cannot be changed.
