100 Trap
Wei Chiyu immediately nodded. He did not let go of Liu Gen’s hand and said to Zhou Xiaoli, “Use your foot to vent your anger. Your hand won’t hurt then.”
Zhou Xiaoli’s eyes curved into crescents. “Hey, that’s a good idea.”
As she spoke, she raised her leg and kicked Liu Gen’s butt, causing him to cry out in pain.
Zhou Xiaoli finally heaved a sigh of relief as she vented her anger.
“Get lost. Stop following me. You’re so annoying.”
After Zhou Xiaoli scolded him, Wei Chiyu kicked him away.
After being beaten up, Liu Gen restrained himself a lot. He was no longer like a fly that stuck to people.
However, he refused to give up. Although he didn’t stick to her anymore, he changed to hiding in the dark and followed her quietly.
Zhou Xiaoli knew that she could not continue like this. She had to think of a way.
The last time her stone revealed an ice-type jade, it was indeed a little ostentatious. Many people had already noticed her.
In that case, whenever she comes to buy stones in the future, it would be like today. Her Heavenly Eye should not be wasted like this.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoli came to a shop.
The owner of this shop was the only one among the many shops who did not raise the price and even spoke up for her.
Zhou Xiaoli walked over with a smile. At first, her gaze lingered on a particular stone for a long time. She even asked him seriously and carefully. Then, she acted as if she wanted to buy it.
As expected, Liu Gen was like a rabid dog that suddenly rushed out.
He reached out and snatched the stone up. “Eh, this stone is not bad. Boss, I like it. I want it.”
Zhou Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, but she pretended to be angry and said angrily, “Hey, why are you like this? I took a fancy to this stone first!”
Liu Gen pretended to be surprised, as if he had just seen Zhou Xiaoli. “Ah, what a coincidence. It’s you again! Last time, we had our eyes on the same stone. I gave in to you.
“I didn’t expect that we would fancy the same stone this time round. It’s really fate. However, I won’t let you have it this time.”
Zhou Xiaoli was speechless. This person was really shameless since he was the one who rejected the stone last time.
But now, he regretted it and started to deceive himself. He blinded his own eyes and thought that someone had snatched his stone.
She regretted that she did not use all of her force in kicking him just now!
She scolded this person in her heart, while her face was filled with anger as she argued with Liu Gen.
Seeing that Zhou Xiaoli insisted on fighting for the stone, Liu Gen was even more determined to get it.
He slammed the table and said loudly, “I’ll state my position. I want this stone no matter what you say today!”
The shopkeeper tried to persuade him. “Liu Gen, this lady asked about this stone first. You can’t do this. There are rules in our industry. You’ve been here all year round. You should know about it, right?”
Liu Gen said shamelessly, “I naturally know the rules of our industry. You don’t have to remind me.”
“So what if this young lady asked first? She didn’t say that she liked it, nor did she say that she wanted to buy it. I was the one who voiced out first that I want to buy it.”
Zhou Xiaoli sneered in her heart and sighed. She pretended to be angry and said, “Fine, fine. I won’t argue with you anymore. I’ll buy something else!”
Liu Gen was extremely pleased. He spent five taels of silver to buy the stone that was the size of two palms put together.
Then, he ran to cut the stone arrogantly. Unexpectedly, the stone yielded green jade.
Although it was not a high-quality jade, it was sold for 20 taels of silver so he earned 15 taels of silver instantly.
Liu Gen seemed to have discovered the way to get rich and was overjoyed.
“Aiya, Liu Gen my brother, not bad today. You found jade in your first stone of the day. I guess you’re going to be lucky today.”
“Hahaha, it’s alright. I have a good feeling today.”
The compliments from the people around him made Liu Gen even more excited.
It was worth the effort spent in approaching Xue Min to ask about Zhou Xiaoli before going to her village to ask about her.
Zhou Xiaoli was indeed as lucky as the villagers said.
These five taels of silver were worth it!
After feeling pleased with himself, he began to look around for Zhou Xiaoli.
The stone gambling den was only so big and once there was jade found in the stone, news of it spread quickly.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoli had also learned that the stone Liu Gen had bought had jade within.
She was not surprised at all. That stone had spiritual energy, but it was sparse.
After all, it was bait. It had to have some result to hook the fish.
As a result, he had already gotten carried away and started to stare at her again.
The shopkeeper felt a little indignant for Zhou Xiaoli. “This Liu Gen is really too much. Young lady, don’t be too sad. I still have a lot of good stones here. Look at the others. Perhaps the next one will be even better than Liu Gen’s!”
Zhou Xiaoli pretended to be sad and nodded. She noticed from the corner of her eye that Liu Gen was wandering not far away from her, so she began to study the stone seriously.
In the end, Zhou Xiaoli’s gaze fell on an area of the shop. She pointed at a row of large rocks and asked, “Boss, these raw stones are so big. Are they very expensive?”
The shopkeeper laughed and nodded. “That’s for sure. These rocks are top-notch rocks from Ningzhou. If there’s jade within, it’ll be worth a lot!”
Zhou Xiaoli didn’t take the rest of the sentence to heart. She only heard the word “expensive” and was satisfied.
Zhou Xiaoli found a large raw stone with almost no spiritual energy among the pile of raw stones and began to look at it carefully.
When the shopkeeper saw that Zhou Xiaoli was interested in the stone, he said repeatedly, “Young lady, you have good taste. This raw stone is the best I brought from Ningzhou this time. Naturally, it’s not cheap. It costs 100 taels of silver.”
“However, if you’re lucky and get a top-grade jade or something, this rock will be worth ten thousand gold.”
Zhou Xiaoli could not help but smile meaningfully when she heard that it cost 100 taels of silver. She praised, “Yes, yes, this is good.”
Liu Gen, who had quietly approached, naturally heard the shopkeeper say the word “ten thousand gold”.
He could not help but feel restless. However, he had to spend 100 taels of silver to buy it, so he was a little hesitant.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoli touched the stone with a look of fondness on her face. “I don’t know why, but I seem to have a feeling about this stone. I really like it. Alright, let’s be sure…”
Seeing that Zhou Xiaoli was about to make a decision, Liu Gen, who was still in a dilemma, gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
Forget it, let’s take a gamble!
If there was jade within, he would be rich!
Thinking of this, he rushed over. He placed his hand on the stone and said first, “Shopkeeper, this stone is not bad. I want it!”
Zhou Xiaoli snorted coldly in her heart. He was too anxious.
However, she still had to put on a show. She immediately said angrily, “Are you done? You snatched my stone earlier, and now you’re doing it again? I took a fancy to this stone first. No way that I would let you snatch it away!”
Liu Gen said shamelessly, “Hey, what are you saying? What do you mean by I’m snatching your things? I was the one who said I wanted this stone first. If you’re hesitating, don’t blame others for being faster than you!”
