b.u.t.tface stared in disbelief and said, "d.a.m.n, since when has sh*t been worth this much?"
With that, he turned around and swept the surroundings. Turning around, he quietly ran to a deserted corner…
…
At the same time, the Second and Third Prince were in disbelief!
At a time like this, they could actually kind of see that something was not right.
The Eighth Elder from Sky Incense Valley could not have been a madman… he was someone who was incredibly concerned about his reputation, so how could he eat sh*t in front of everyone?
Moreover, Xu Que had been disrespectful the whole time, but the Eighth Elder wasn"t angry at all. Instead, he acted polite, almost as if he respected Xu Que…
"You have guessed correctly, this youth indeed is something!" The Seventh Princess said softly, eyes lighting up.
The Third Prince and the rest were slightly shocked as they opened their mouths, but no words came out.
…
"Alright, alright, old fellow, don"t say so many useless things! Priceless, what? Are you planning to eat without paying? Hand over the money, fast!" Xu Que said impatiently.
He only had good feelings for the Empress of Sky Incense Valley. As for the rest, Xu Que felt no obligation to treat them very nicely.
In his words, this was separating personal sentiments and business!
Acting Tough was business and when it was time to act, he had to act!
He couldn"t love something on account of another thing because of his personal feelings!
The Eighth Elder was shocked as he felt through his clothes pockets. He took out a few gold ingots from his storage ring and pa.s.sed them to Xu Que.
"Since the young warrior insists, I won"t act too courteously. I shall make some gains and buy all of these!" The Eighth Elder had spent a fortune all at once yet but he felt embarra.s.sed for Xu Que, almost as if Xu Que was the one losing out!
"Sir!"
All the commoners around inhaled a deep breath!
These few gold ingots were worth over tens of thousands in taels of silver!
What had become of this world?
Frying a few pieces of black sh*t could fetch such high prices?
Unless a cultivator now had such strong tastes?
Everyone was in shock and disbelief!
However, Second Prince, Third Prince and the rest wore identical expressions. They believed entirely that this pot contained something extraordinary!
"Wait, as I have said before, one person can only buy one bowl! These are the rules and the Exploding Heavens Faction is very particular about fairness! One does not mean two. When I said the price was 1000 taels of silver, I meant 1000 taels of silver, and when I said one bowl, I meant one bowl…"
Xu Que spoke in an incredibly obnoxious tone. Those around him, both commoners and members of the royal family, wore expressions of awkwardness. They were speechless!
How could he talk about his business morals so shamelessly!
Besides, obviously one meant one.
What was all this about one not being two?
The weirdest and most erratic person here seems to be you.
As for the Eighth Elder, upon hearing such words, he was shocked again and his face filled with pain. "Young warrior, this…this bowl is too small for what I gave you, how about five bowls?"
"I have said so already, when I say one it means one! Do you want one bowl? If not, get lost and stop interrupting my business!" Xu Que said impatiently.
His cool demeanour made him feel great about himself too!
His success in acting tough led to a continuing increase in his Acting Tough Points!
All the people were shocked by Xu Que"s posture and demeanour too. They felt a chill in their hearts. This fellow wasn"t someone simple!
The Eighth Elder had no choice. He knew that he couldn"t indulge in an abundance of something like this. Now that he had a chance to buy a bowl without using spirit stones but using some gold ingots instead… for him, it would be like getting it for free.
He laughed hurriedly and said, "young warrior, don"t be concerned, I will buy one bowl!"
With that, he waved his hand and picked up a few pieces of smelly tofu from the oil pot and placed them in a bowl. However, he didn"t take back the few gold ingots.
From how he saw it, he had only gained. It was a bargain, buying this bowl of stinky tofu with only a few gold ingots. Why would he still bother himself about the price for one bowl!
Xu Que closed one eye, as if he didn"t see it. He walked over silently and took the gold ingots, placing them secretly into the woman"s moneybag!
…
The Eighth Elder walked away with his bowl of stinky tofu, seeming extremely satisfied.
The Second Prince was anxious as he walked over and asked in a low voice, "Elder, no one has any idea what this is. Why are you regarding it so highly?"
The Eighth Elder hesitated and said with a groan, "wait here for a while, I need to do something, I will tell you when I am back!"
With that, he suddenly leaped forward and swept through the air.
He didn"t want to reveal the secret of the stinky tofu, and this time, he wasn"t here alone. He had brought with him a few disciples who were waiting for him outside the city.
Hence, he wanted to bring his disciples over to buy a bowl each, as many as he could get!
However, his actions weren"t simple in the eyes of the princes.
Just as he left, they turned their gazes towards the pot of stinky tofu at the same time!
Even the Seventh Princess"s eyes were s.h.i.+ning as she suddenly stepped forward.
"Master Xu Que, can you sell a bowl to me?"
Her voice was as clear as a silver bell and incredibly mesmerising. As she looked at Xu Que with her beautiful eyes, they were filled with gentleness.
The few princes furrowed their brows, a little shocked!
They understood their sister incredibly well,. She wasn"t a very approachable person and had high tastes. Since a young age, apart from her relatives, only the Jade Sword Sect and Ye Chang Feng had been able to converse with her!
But now, she had walked forward voluntarily and begun conversing with Xu Que. Evidently, she must have realised that this concoction wasn"t so simple!
…
"Of course, for a pretty woman, I have always been gracious. You can have some for free, take as much as you want! But remember, if we"re speaking business, call me Ma Yun from the Exploding Heavens Faction! Ma from Ma Yun and Yun from Ma Yun, got it? Come, let"s set a small goal together, something like eating 100 bowls of this stinky tofu…"
With that, Xu Que was speaking in an incredibly gracious tone and was waving his hands amicably.
Look at the princess"s gracefulness and pet.i.te figure… hear this voice, so melodious! As a gentleman, how could I demand money from her?
"d.a.m.n it, brat, you l.u.s.tful creature!"
At that moment, b.u.t.tface"s voice echoed from afar, filled with anger!
He had gone off somewhere to plan his tricks but was now running back with a mysterious bag in his hands. He now happened to chance upon this sight and was furious.
After all, he had just stolen dozens of chicken wings and had been chased all around by Xu Que!
But this woman can have the stinky tofu for free?
And there is a goal? 100 bowls?
Is there any justice to this? This is obvious bias!
b.u.t.tface got angrier and angrier as he thought about it!
However, Xu Que replied as if he was in the right. "b.u.t.tface, you still have the cheek to talk here? Listen to yourself! the Princess"s voice is so melodious and sounds as clear as a silver bell. It puts me in a good mood. So what if I treat her a little differently? I might even be willing to treat her to a six dollar bowl of spicy hot pot too!"
