C693 Harming Others and Harming Oneself
"Brother, you know..." The stall owner rubbed his hands and licked his face. "It's not easy to do a small business now. The horse carriage fee is expensive, and the stall fee has increased. We just can't get five silver coins per stall."
"I got it. Tell me the price." Dongfang Qingyu's expression was calm.
The vendor raised an index finger.
"10 silver coins, okay!" Dongfang Qingyu nodded and did not bargain.
"It's not 10 silver coins, it's 1 gold coin!" The vendor had a flattering smile on his face.
A trace of disgust flashed across Small Pudding Guoguo's eyes. Previously, when she saw the stall owner's honest appearance, she had quite a good impression of him. Who knew that he was so greedy and insatiable?
"Deal!" Dongfang Qingyu stared at the stall owner for a few seconds. It was not until he saw it that the stall owner felt weak in his heart that he spoke.
"In the entire Sky City, I'm the only one selling the Seven Star Flame Beetles. Brother, you won't lose out." The stall owner heaved a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Dongfang Qingyu would become angry from embarrassment and refuse to buy the Seven Star Flame Beetles.
"Wait -"
Just as the two of them were about to make the transaction, an ear-piercing sound was heard from the side. Small Pudding Guoguo took a look and immediately frowned. It was Spring Rain and Skyhill's New Rain Queen.
"No matter how much he pays, I will pay twice the price." Spring Rain ignored Dongfang Qingyu and Small Pudding Guoguo and looked at the stall owner.
The stall owner was surprised and happy. A corpse like the Seven Star Flame Beetle couldn't be eaten. It couldn't be refined into equipment. If it wasn't for the high level, he wouldn't have taken it back. The last time Dongfang Qingyu bought it, he had only bought it for the second time. It had been here for a few days, and no one had asked about it. If Dongfang Qingyu had not come today, he would have lost the Seven Star Flame Beetle the next day. No one wanted to occupy the place. Never would he have thought that the Seven Star Flame Beetle would suddenly become a hot commodity. He looked at Spring Rain and then looked at Dongfang Qingyu. He said carefully, "This boss will pay 2 gold coins. Brother, look -"
"Boss, this is against the rules, right?" Small Pudding Guoguo could not stand it any longer. "You offered a price, and we agreed. The deal has already taken effect. If you go back on your word now, aren't you afraid of Hong’s's punishment?"
"I, I..." The stall owner's expression suddenly became uneasy.
"Money and goods being sold out is the law of trade that has never changed since ancient times. Can bargaining be used as evidence?" Spring Rain sneered, "What a joke!"
"Guoguo, this has nothing to do with you. Don't get involved." Skyhill New Rain said.
"He is my man. His business is my business," ___ said. Small Pudding Guoguo said lightly.
"You..." After the new rain, Space Mountain's expression immediately changed.
"Boss, are you selling it for 2 gold coins? If you are not selling it, I will leave." Spring Rain's expression became ugly. He had liked Small Pudding Guoguo for a long time. Although they had not contacted each other since the last incident, he still could not let go of Small Pudding Guoguo. When he heard Small Pudding Guoguo say that Dongfang Qingyu was his man, his words were like a knife. It ruthlessly stabbed his heart.
At this moment, his hatred towards Dongfang Qingyu was unprecedentedly strong.
"Sell, sell!" The stall owner hurriedly said. He was not stupid to not even sell it for 2 gold coins.
"5 gold coins!" Dongfang Qingyu said.
"10 gold coins!" Spring Rain looked at him provocatively.
"15 gold coins." Dongfang Qingyu's expression was calm.
"20 gold coins!" Spring Rain's voice sounded like he was gnashing his teeth in anger. Dongfang Qingyu's calm look made him feel like he had hit the air with all his strength. It was extremely uncomfortable.
"30 gold coins." Dongfang Qingyu shouted. Small Pudding Guoguo wanted to stop him but could not.
"50 gold coins." Spring Rain sneered and added 20 gold coins. He just happened to know that Dongfang Qingyu had used the Seven Star Flame Beetle to burn Five Star Childe to death. That was why he knew how important the Seven Star Flame Beetle was to Dongfang Qingyu. No matter how high the price was, Dongfang Qingyu would pinch his nose and buy it. But he forgot one thing, Dongfang Qingyu had a lot of choices.
"Let's go!" Dongfang Qingyu held Small Pudding Guoguo's hand and left. He left very simply. He did not look back and did not hesitate.
The stall owner looked at their backs, Spring Rain looked at their backs, and Skyhill New Rain looked at their backs.
In the end, the two of them were about to enter the crowd. Only then did the three of them regain their senses. It wasn't that Dongfang Qingyu wanted to capture them, but that he really wanted to leave. Spring Rain shouted at Small Pudding Guoguo's back, "Guoguo, don't believe Dongfang Qingyu. He is a hypocrite. He has a girlfriend in Central City!"
After Small Pudding Guoguo heard him, Dongfang Qingyu got closer to her. He held her arm like a vine that accompanied a big tree. Dongfang Qingyu turned around and looked at Spring Rain. The meaning in his eyes was very clear.
"You idiot!"
Spring Rain's chest tightened, and he almost vomited blood.
"Guoguo is really a slut!" Skyhill New Rain cursed.
"Let's go!" Spring Rain had a ferocious look on his face.
"You can't leave. We haven't bought the Seven Star Flame Beetle yet." The vendor shouted.
"I'll keep it for you to eat." Skyhill New Rain didn't reply.
"How can you be like this, so disloyal!" The vendor became anxious and shouted at the top of his voice, "There are people disturbing the market, where is the law enforcement team? The law enforcement team, come quickly! Someone is bullying our vendor!"
When he shouted, the surrounding people immediately rushed over. It was human nature to watch a show. However, it did not matter if they surrounded them, but they blocked Spring Rain and his sister, preventing them from leaving for a moment.
"Who's causing trouble?" The law enforcement team came very quickly and could not be slow. They were really too free. It was not easy for them to have something to do, but they still did not rush over.
The Hong’s's background was too great. After reorganizing the Grass Market, no one dared to cause trouble. Everyone was well-behaved, allowing the law enforcement team to have all the skills they had. When they heard that someone was causing trouble, their first reaction wasn't anger. Instead, they were happy.
"They!" The vendor pointed at Spring Rain and his sister.
"Nonsense!" Spring Rain and his sister could only stop. This time, they couldn't leave even if they wanted to.
"What is going on?" The law enforcement team's tone was cold.
The vendor immediately recounted what had happened. Don't look at his honest appearance. He had restored the whole incident to its original state. However, Spring Rain's words had turned him back to his original state. "Do you have any evidence? If you don't, I have proof."
Spring Rain played a recording. This recording was Small Pudding Guoguo's questioning of the stall owner's words and the stall owner's speechlessness.
The stall owner's expression changed dramatically.
Although the recording did not have a head or tail, the cause and effect of the matter was not considered to be a fool. Everyone present could hear it in an instant. This stall owner's business was dishonest.
"What else do you have to say?" The law enforcement team looked coldly at the stall owner.
"He, it's all him. If it wasn't for him bidding and guiding me, I wouldn't..." The stall owner pointed at Spring Rain and shouted.
"What a joke. If you remember the principle of honesty, why would you be guided by me?" Spring Rain sneered.
"Five Seven Star Flame Beetles are confiscated. Don't set up a stall in Grass Market anymore. Pack your things and leave." The law enforcement team punished him.
The vendor collapsed to the ground, his face ashen.
"And the two of you, don't come to Grass Market for half a year!" The law enforcement team stared at Spring Rain and his sister. Their faces turned red and green. They squeezed through the crowd and left with their tails between their legs.
