Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 148 A pretentious person?

"My name is Hu Liena, and I've heard of the Traveler long ago."

Hu Liena introduced herself and glanced at Yan beside her with disgust, signaling him to stop talking.

"Hello, this stone..."

Kong glanced at Yan intentionally or unintentionally. He wondered why this backup player was so eager to show himself in front of the goddess.

The stone that Huo Miaomiao got out of here might be Hu Liena's, right?
"No, it's not mine."

Hu Liena waved her hands quickly.

"My baby! Hoo~"

The stall owner saw Fire Meow Meow running here from a distance, but his soul power was too low and he was a bit old, so he was already exhausted and out of breath when he arrived.

He pointed to the stone in his empty hand,

"Sir, this is mine..."

"…I'm so sorry, old man."

The corner of Kong's mouth twitched, and he gave a helpless smile to the stall owner. It turned out that it wasn't Hu Liena's thing after all?

Although the stone contained an inexplicable energy, Kong still handed it to the stall owner.

After all, it belongs to someone else, and it would be wrong for Fire Meow Meow to take it away without saying a word.

"I'm sorry, old man. Fire Meow Meow is ignorant. I hope you won't be angry..."

Yu Keke walked up to the old stall owner holding Huo Miaomiao, took out two golden soul coins from her ring and handed them to the stall owner.

This was placed inside the storage soul guide device given to her by Tianshui College, and a small note was also left behind.

The general content is that they know that they need to spend a lot of money to travel around the mainland.

In short, this is sponsored travel expenses, so don’t be dissatisfied and feel free to spend as much as you want.

"Thank you, sir."

The stall owner was obviously a real money-maker. He looked reluctant, but his big hands had already firmly grasped the gold soul coins.

Although he didn't know Kong and the others, he was very familiar with Hu Liena and the captain of the guards. After all, he had some foresight when doing business in Wuhun City.

He glanced at the people around him and paused, "Miss, to be honest, I originally wanted to sell this stone.
How about if you can give me another ninety-eight gold soul coins, I will sell it to you?"

"What kind of stone costs a hundred gold soul coins?"

Zhu Zhuqing came out and took the stone from the stall owner and weighed it.

"Keke, let's not buy it. It's obviously just an ordinary pebble~"

Zhu Zhuqing counted the stones and threw them to the stall owner casually. He took Yu Keke's hand and persuaded her, while winking at her.

The fact that this stone was favored by Huo Miaomiao, a hundred thousand year old soul beast, and considering His Majesty's evaluation, it was clear that this stone had something unique about it.

But Zhu Zhuqing was very smart. The stall owner only wanted one hundred gold soul coins for this stone. Obviously, he didn't know the value of the stone itself, so he was bluffing and asking for an exorbitant price.

"Yes, one hundred gold soul coins, how much delicious food can I buy..."

Paimon didn't understand why, but he knew how terrifying the purchasing power of one hundred gold soul coins was for food.

If it were her, she would never spend so much money to buy a stone that cannot be eaten.
"Miss, you may not know this, but I found this stone by chance. It emits a soft glow at night. It must be a treasure!"

"No, thank you~"

Yu Keke naturally saw Zhu Zhuqing's look. She shook her head and kept stroking Huo Miaomiao's fur with her little hands. It was obvious that she was still a little nervous about her first time acting.

"...How about this? You give me fifty... no, forty-eight gold soul coins will be enough. How about that?"

Seeing that his business was disrupted, the stall owner simply lowered the price again, showing a pained look.

"This is already the lowest price. I spent 45 gold soul coins to buy it. Can you give me a little commission for running errands?"

This stone was not collected from anywhere. He found it by chance in the riverbed when he was fetching water from a mountain stream while he was out buying goods.

At first, he just thought the stone looked pretty and wanted to take it home and put it in his own potted plants. Unexpectedly, the stone would emit a halo at night. The soft light made him feel warm and comfortable when he shone on it.

He thought that this stone must have its special features, but his soul power was quite low, and he couldn't figure it out after studying it for more than half a month. It just so happened that he was short of money at that time, so he simply put the stone on the stall and waited for the right person.

It had been on display for half a year and no one was interested in it. If Fire Meow hadn't happened to take it away to him today, he would have almost forgotten the existence of this stone.

Now that the real culprit is right in front of us, we must seize the opportunity!
"Hmm~"

Yu Keke thought about it seriously, glanced at Zhu Zhuqing and Paimeng, and saw that they had no expression. She looked at her brother again, and saw that her brother nodded slightly after thinking for a while, and her face lit up with joy.
"Okay, then I'll give you another forty-eight."

"Wait! I'll give you eighty pieces. Sell it to me."

Just when Yu Keke was about to pay, Yan on the opposite side raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of provocation.

"This……"

The stall owner looked around and was a little confused for a moment.

One side offered forty-eight coins, and the other side offered almost double the price!

After repeated contemplation, he still fell into the trap of money.

"I'm sorry, miss, this gentleman's price is too high..."

His old face smiled flatteringly, and the wrinkles on it looked like an old chrysanthemum.

"Didn't you agree to sell it to us first? Why are you so reckless in business?"

Zhu Zhuqing stood up and questioned the stall owner in a cold voice, while glancing at Yan with an unfriendly look.

"Tsk, who did I think they were? Turns out they're just a bunch of pretentious people. If you can't afford it, don't pretend to be rich. If you have the guts, come and follow me~"

Yan looked at Zhu Zhuqing who was talking, his eyes shining.

I was only concerned about Nana just now, but I didn't expect that this little wild cat-like girl in front of me is not much worse than Nana in temperament and appearance, and her figure is far ahead of her.

"Heh~ One hundred, bring them to me!"

Zhu Zhuqing is not someone who is easily angered, but the guy opposite her with dirty eyes is really disgusting.

"Miss Hao La, sir, do you still want to make an offer?"

The stall owner was so happy watching the two sponsors fighting for the goods that he wanted to get a sky-high price. In order to make money, he seemed to have forgotten the identities of the people and started to stir up trouble.

"One hundred and twenty..."

Yan stretched out two fingers, indicating that he wanted to add twenty more coins to the one hundred.

"Two hundred!"

Zhu Zhuqing said coldly.

"Two hundred and five."

Yan looked at the beauty opposite him and seemed to be arguing with him. He raised the corner of his mouth and continued to raise the price.

"Five hundred."

Zhu Zhuqing spoke again.

"Five hundred and twenty~"

"one thousand!"

Zhu Zhuqing said sternly, and at the same time stretched out her hand, indicating to the stall owner that the deal was done.

"..."

Yan looked at Zhu Zhuqing coldly, his teeth clenched tightly.

Could she really be the daughter of some wealthy family? She's so generous!
"Um~ Sir, do you still want it? This is a precious stone~"

Seeing that Yan seemed to be overwhelmed, the stall owner immediately raised the stone in his hand, trying to induce Yan to continue bidding.
