“What? For me?” Su Xiaoman pointed at herself. Her heart was keeling over inside her chest, and her face turned beet red. “I cannot accept such an expensive gift!”

Chen Xiaobei smiled. “This belonged to the Divine Tiger Faction’s ancestor. Are you sure you don’t want it?”

“We don’t even know if it’s the real thing!” Su Xiaoman said doubtfully.

“Young lady! Watch what you’re saying! Don’t speak so carelessly!” The shopkeeper snapped. “Go ask around and see if anyone dares to sell counterfeit items in Yellow Wind? I would never do it, not even if I had the courage of a lion!”

“Boss, don’t get so upset! I can tell that this is the real deal!” Chen Xiaobei said.

With the Eight-Diagram Qi Observational Skill, Chen Xiaobei could see the unmistakable thick purple-gold aura discharging from the Tiger Claw Scythe.

Only a high-value antique object would give out purple-gold aura. So, the scythe was definitely authentic.

“You have a very good eye, sir!” The shopkeeper nodded. “Very few people know about this Tiger Claw Scythe. I’ll give you a friend’s price… you can have it for one million medium-grade Spiritual Stones!”

“No problem! Take it down!” Chen Xiaobei nodded.

“No! No! No! This scythe is too expensive! I can’t take it!” Su Xiaoman shook her head. Her family’s entire family property’s worth was not even 100,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones. How could she accept a gift worth 1 million?

“An ignorant country bumpkin who doesn’t know what’s what!” A shrill voice suddenly said.

It was a woman in a bright, pretty long dress. She walked to the store and snatched the Tiger Claw Scythe. “One million medium-grade Spiritual Stones for a one-of-a-kind Tiger Claw Scythe. That’s dirt cheap! If this bumpkin doesn’t want it, I, Yun Ziqiao, will take it!”

The look Chen Xiaobei gave this unreasonable woman was glacial. Her rude affront about Su Xiaoman being a country bumpkin aggravated him a hundred times more.

Su Xiaoman stiffened. She was at a loss. She had been reserved about receiving such an expensive gift but seeing someone else simply snatch it away sparked a crestfallen feeling and a reluctance in her.

The shopkeeper did not say anything to regulate the situation. His eyes were glued to the woman named Yun Ziqiao.

Admittedly, this woman was a sight to behold – attractive face and alluring body, wrapped in a long, flowy dress, drawing lewd looks from lustful, wondering eyes as she walked past them.

She was at that charming age between a teenager and a mature woman, and her prideful personality appealed to men’s dominant nature.

If they could subdue this wild mare, it would give them a sense of accomplishment.

Of course, the perverts in the market only dared to watch her from afar. None of them had the balls to approach her because right next to this attractive woman was a handsome escort dressed in clean and neat clothing.

Anyone with eyes could tell that this fine young man was probably the son of some powerful faction.

No point courting a rebuff.

“Boss!” The young man said. “I’ll make you sorry if you keep staring at Ziqiao like that!”

“I’m sorry… sorry… I had no intention to offend…” The shopkeeper quickly averted his eyes. “I’m selling this Tiger Claw Scythe for one million medium-grade Spiritual Stones! If Miss Yun pays now, you can take it away with you right away!”

“What nonsense!” The young man gave the shopkeeper a disgusted look. “I, Du Tiannan, am here! How can I let Qiciao pay for it?”

“Huh? Bro Tiannan wants to buy it for me?” Yun Ziqiao flashed the young man a fetching smile.

“Of course!” Du Tiannan said in a smug tone. “I am happy to buy you gifts!”

The shopkeeper took the opportunity to suck up to this aristocrat. “Young master Du is so chivalrous! So gracious! No wonder you are able to captivate Ms. Yun’s heart!”

“Don’t talk about these useless things.” Du Tiannan snapped. “For the sake of my Divine Fist Du Family’s face, take 50% off the price! You agree, right?”

“What?! 50%?” The shopkeeper’s eyes nearly fell out.

“What? Is my family’s face not worth 500,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones?” Du Tiannan smirked. “You just need to nod, and if you cause any trouble within a 100,000-mile radius of Divine Fist’s mansion, just use my name, Du Tiannan and you’ll be guaranteed to protect yourself!”

It was evident to the onlookers that it was not because this Du Tiannan could not afford to pay one million medium-grade Spiritual Stones for the scythe but because he wanted to bargain to gain a petty advantage at the shopkeeper’s expense.

His true purpose was to show off his lineage in front of Yun Ziqiao.

“Yes! It is! It is worth 500,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones!” The shopkeeper nodded compliantly. “So, it’ll be like what you said, young master Du! 50% off! The next time I travel within your region, I would be looking forward to your protection!”

These black-market merchants made their living by felonious means! To have the protection from a legitimate protective umbrella would mean that they would gain a huge advantage over their competitors. That included gaining the advantage from both black and white sides.

Trading 500,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones for protection from Divine First’s mansion would actually allow us to earn back the Spiritual Stones that we spent on them, not to mention an unimaginable amount of profit before we even realize it!”

This deal was extremely worth it!

“Well said!” Du Tiannan lifted his chin. “Next time you’re in trouble, just mention my name!”

Yun Ziqiao looked at him with adulation in her eyes. “Bro Tiannan is so cool! No one is brave enough to refuse to give face to Divine Fist!”

“However big your face it, we should still give priority to the person who came first!” Chen Xiaobei reached out his right hand and took the Tiger Claw Scythe back from Yun Ziqiao.

“You… You snatched my scythe?” Yun Ziqiao was startled.

“You took this scythe from my friend. It only makes sense for me to take it back.” Chen Xiaobei said.

“Hmph! How dare you talk to me like that?!” Yun Ziqiao planted her arms on her waist. “Look all around you. Every single one of these men here are polite and courteous to me! But you? You don’t know how to treat a woman! You snatched the scythe from my hands! How rude! You’re a barbarian! I’m starting to wonder now if you’re even a real man!”

“If I’m not a real man, are you one then?” Chen Xiaobei retorted.

“I…” Yun Ziqiao was foaming at the mouth. “I am a lady born with natural beauty! I have the looks! I have the body! Any normal man would drool at the sight of me! You are the only one who turns a blind eye! You know what I think? You’re a eunuch who can’t get it on! You’re not a man!”

Chen Xiaobei was unfazed by the woman’s slanderous remarks. “I was not pointing fingers at you. But speaking of beauty, I could simply choose from any one from my group of lady friends, and they would still be a million times better looking than you! An ordinary woman like you is supposed to make me drool? Go and reincarnate immediately! We’ll talk about it in your next life!”
