109: Chapter 14 Hitting the Local Tyrants_2 109: Chapter 14 Hitting the Local Tyrants_2 This guy is incredibly stingy.
Liu Zhenhan was both frustrated and impressed, seeing that the fellow hadn’t even been into a large shop yet but still was able to please everyone so much.
The merry expression of the mermaid left Liu Zhenhan extremely annoyed.
Was life in the sea for the Sea Clan that miserable?
She was ridiculously pleased with a little hair clip.
And that “durian honey” fruit, Liu Zhenhan thought it would also make a good weapon to bash someone with; it was covered with spikes, far more formidable than a brick.
He couldn’t understand why the pandas looked so pleased, each one hugging a clump of the fruit, seemingly unconcerned about getting pricked.
It was strange; the prince would buy things for everyone else except for Liu Zhenhan.
It was clearly intentional.
This only made Liu Zhenhan even more determined to swindle the prince out of a considerable amount of money.
He was waiting for the right occasion to catch the prince off guard.
At least Guoguo had a bit of a conscience.
After getting her rewards, she hopped back onto Liu Zhenhan’s shoulder and gave him half of what she had gotten.
Guoguo ate the kernel of the fruit, while Liu Zhenhan helped her peel its husk.
The fragrant kernel was for Guoguo, while the indigestible husk was for Liu Zhenhan.
It was a fair sharing, with half for each of them.
“Miss Helen, this silk ribbon is superb, and it would look exquisitely noble when you use it to tie your hair.” The prince stopped in front of a large shop and pointed to the red silk ribbon hanging outside.
Across the street, there was a weapons workshop.
Seeing the distinguished customers approaching, the sound of the bellows and the hammering in the workshop immediately quieted down considerably.
“This ribbon seems to be from the Silk Continent in the Far East, even owning this one ribbon is already quite lavish.” Helen smiled as she politely refused the prince’s kind offer.
“No problem, I can afford to buy a silk ribbon for a beautiful lady.
My father keeps a strict control over my finances, but rest assured, my allowance is enough to cover the cost of this ribbon.” With a few casual words, the prince made it clear he was not the kind of noble who would waste money due to his privileged background.
His skill with words was truly spot on.
Liu Zhenhan had to admit his profound admiration for this prince.
If this guy were to become his romantic rival, Liu Zhenhan thought he could only best him in fights; the prince exceeded him in every other aspect. The most update n0vels are published on novel·fıre·net
“Thank you for your kindness, Prince.
The hairband I am wearing now was given to me by Richard.
I don’t intend to replace it because for me, it is a treasure.” Helen gently caressed the nylon stocking tied in her red hair and sent a soft smile towards Liu Zhenhan.
Words couldn’t describe Liu Zhenhan’s feelings at that moment.
On the surface, Liu Zhenhan composedly nodded and smiled, but secretly, he was extremely pleased.
It was such an honor!
He couldn’t help but have many sentimental feelings about life.
Ning Yu was looking at Liu Zhenhan, her eyes shone with a rare hint of jealousy.
Avril was more direct; she glared at him angrily, her chest heaving up and down violently.
“Hey…I’ve been so busy that I forgot about you two!” With a greasy expression on his face, Liu Zhenhan grandly took out the worn-out sock, ripped it into two pieces, and distributed them.
Ning Yu and Avril’s faces softened slightly.
“Help us put them on.” Ning Yu said coldly.
As he was helping the two beautiful women, Liu Zhenhan glanced sideways at Prince Richard’s expression.
His eyes were like a general, looking at defeated prisoners of war.
The muscles on the prince’s face twitched painfully, but it was barely noticeable.
“Don’t be like that, it’s rare that Prince has shown such generosity.
Helen, let’s go inside and pick a silk handkerchief.
The Prince is young and rich, it’s a small matter for him to buy a handkerchief, let alone buying the whole shop to give to us.” Liu Zhenhan elbowed Helen slightly, and winked at her.
“Hehe… That would indeed be the best.
After all…” Prince Richard forced a stiff smile: “Ribbons used to tie the hair need to be changed too.”
Liu Zhenhan bellowed with laughter while tugging Helen into the shop.
I see what you’re up to, you little brat!
You’ll get what’s coming to you.
In his heart, Liu Zhenhan secretly resolved to rip off the prince.
The whole group had no choice but to follow Liu Zhenhan into the shop named “The Silk Road”, which was filled with the ambiance of the Silk Continent.
Liu Zhenhan let out his pent-up urge to fleece the prince and began noisily calling the shopkeeper — a chubby human with a red nose — and wholesale-like started grabbing goods off the shelves.
“The tea from the Far East, fifty gold coins per pound.
It’s an excellent drink when boiled with cow’s milk or sheep’s milk.” The human boss respectfully watched this Pikel who was acting like a thug.
If it weren’t for the elegant knight standing behind him with numerous followers, he would have probably already called for the city defense officer.
“Well, Helen had rejuvenating beauty tea, pack up fifty pounds for me!”
“Look, Far East tobacco leaves, with a silver tobacco pipe, it’s the post-meal ultimate enjoyments for the Dorottian aristocrats.
Fifty gold coins per pound of tobacco leaves.
Although the pipes are imitations made by us, they are absolutely no different from the Far East goods, each for one gold coin.” The shopkeeper happily called upon his apprentice to assist him.
“Haha, it smells divine!” Liu Zhenhan greedily inhaled the aroma of the tobacco leaves, grabbing a hefty handful in both hands, with tears streaming down his face.
want it?” The human shopkeeper looked pitifully at this brute-like Piegel.
A handful , a lot of the dry, crisp, valuable tobacco leaves had been crumbled.
“How much do you have?” Liu Zhenhan stood up straight.
Even if the prince doesn’t pay today, he would still buy, even if it meant hacking off a golden figure’s arm to pay the bill.
“I have about a hundred pounds in stock.” The human shopkeeper sniffed at his wine-stained nose, his chubby cheeks wobbling.
“Helen smoked and looked more beautiful, I’ll take it all!” Liu Zhenhan raised a big flag with Taige’s skin, “Roll them all …”
Liu Zhenhan demonstrated to the shopkeeper, rolling the tobacco leaves into a cigar shape.
I’ve got the most dexterous workers, and I’ll seal it for you with the best fish glue.
Don’t you worry!” The shopkeeper was overjoyed.
Now he can pack up all those broken tobacco leaves in the warehouse and sell them all to this goofy Piegel.
“When can it be finished?” Liu Zhenhan asked.
“When do you need it?” The human shopkeeper excitedly rubbed his nose.
“The sooner the better!” Liu Zhenhan said, “I have to rush back to Bok Village tomorrow.”
Turns out, he’s a rich village man!
The shopkeeper nodded and bowed agreeably while inwardly rejoicing.
“Isn’t that too expensive, Shopkeeper…” Helen came up, gently squeezed the tobacco, “This batch of tobacco seems to have gotten damp during transport.
Look, there are some black spots…”
“Are you…Fawkes?” The boss looked as if he had seen a ghost, with a wide-open mouth, cold sweat streaming down his cheeks.
“Of course.” The little fox raised its fluffy tail proudly.
The human shopkeeper gazed at this Piegel, who was like a thug, from head to toe with an expression like he had seen a ghost.
How did this guy know so many important figures?
“What’s wrong with you?” Liu Zhenhan looked at the dumbfounded shopkeeper, a little confused.
“Flat rate, twenty gold coins for the tea leaves, twenty gold coins for the tobacco leaves.” The human shopkeeper sighed leisurely, “Since I encountered a Fawkes, I have nothing to say.”
“Obischillaci!” Liu Zhenhan almost jumped up, realizing he had been treated like a big fat sheep ready to be sheared.
“That’s more like it.” The little fox smiled sweetly in triumph.
Prince Richard gave an embarrassed smile, his almost spastic fingers tightly clutching the Larza Beast-made money bag.
Sorry~~ I can only barely manage to write about rugged type protagonists~~ I’m not the writer of those gentle, white-robed youths~~ I don’t have that level of talent~~ Dear readers, it’s unfair to compare me with other authors~~ It could easily cause misunderstandings among writers~~ As long as you enjoy reading, it’s okay~~
Recommendation: “Back to the Prehistoric”, this is a book similar to my style, written better than mine.
Four more days to VIP~~ HEHE~~ Counting down~~
