Chapter 3048 I Have My Own Reason
"It's so expensive. Can't it be cheaper?" Ling blinked, feigning a pained expression.
Shameless, trying to swindle money from this darling! A Curmudgeon like you, who has lived for hundreds of years, can you really be short on funds?
Don't be absurd!
"990,000 is the lowest price," Qiao Mu said apathetically.
"You just said it might not be good if it's expensive!"
"It's different if I'm the one setting the price. I have my own reasons for charging a high price!" Qiao Mu coldly interrupted. "Are you buying it or not? I only have one bottle left!"
"Buy, buy, buy." Ling's heart ached as she handed over the money. "Can you throw in some extra gifts?"
The corners of the short and stout man's eyes and mouth twitched. Observing the scene, he felt an indescribable strangeness.
Did this child have any awareness as a hostage?
She was actually conducting business among them!
"Forget it, forget it. You're so talkative. It seems you carried me all the way just now. I'll throw in a three-day beautifying pill."
"What does the three-day beautifying pill do?"
Qiao Mu looked at her as if she were a fool. "It means you have to try it for three days. Once you consume this beautifying pill, you'll experience extraordinary beauty effects within three days. After that, you'll return to your original state! If you want a permanent beautifying pill, it'll cost two million spirit currency."
Everyone: …
You're not only a swindler but also quite the shrewd businessperson!
Three days of trial use? This was clearly a trap for Ling, this smug fellow, to fall into!
"Alright, I'll give it a try." Ling nodded, reluctantly paying for a bottle of beautifying cream. She also added a three-day beautifying pill.
"If you use it well, introduce it to your older sister and younger sister," Qiao Mu said apathetically. "Our shop is located near the city's South Huaqi Street. The shop's name is Heaven Pill House. You can check it out when you're free."
This time, even Ling couldn't help but have her mouth twitch as she looked at Qiao Mu, both amused and exasperated.
What the hell were "Old Sister" and "Younger Sister"?
"Alright, let's sleep." After a day of enduring challenges, Qiao Mu stretched out her petite hand to Second Young Sir Qin. "Bedding."
These people had sealed her divine consciousness, preventing her from accessing her inner world. Besides some items in her personal bag, she couldn't retrieve anything else.
"Aren't you hungry?" Second Young Sir Qin raised his hand to pat her head. "Come eat first."
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao initially wanted to reject this fellow, but after giving it some thought, she realized she would only have the strength to run after eating. Hence, she put on a stoic petite face and kicked her way to the fire to sit down.
Apart from Second Young Sir Qin and Ling, the other four experts in this group were the short and fat man, the tall and thin man Fei Zhuan, and the twin brothers Tang Quan and Tang Li.
Among them, the seventh-level divine realm cultivator, Fatty, had the deepest cultivation.
At this moment, Tang Quan and Tang Li were sitting in front of the fire, busy roasting two wild animals.
The fat man skinned the snake in the cave abode and planned to make snake meat soup for everyone.
Qiao Mu felt a little disgusted, but when the snake meat soup was served, the fragrance was alluring.
She took a small bowl from the fat man and took two sips, realizing that this person's culinary skills were genuinely commendable.
Hence, Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao's tense eyebrows relaxed a little.
Ling discreetly winked at Second Young Sir Qin, signaling him with his eyes: Can you tell? This is a little foodie!
After indulging in a satisfying meal, Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao took her bedding, spread it on the dry grass in the corner, and lay down. Uninterested in acknowledgment, she might as well embrace sleep.
