Chapter 49: Teasing

  "What are you looking at? Haven't seen a beauty before, talking to you!" Apparently this beauty was infuriated by Sun Ming's pig-like brother, and these words were almost shouted out.

  "Nothing, just admiring the beauty, that's all. I don't know what instructions you have for me, miss?" Sun Ming immediately regained his composure and calmly replied. In fact, this woman was the most beautiful one Sun Ming had ever seen. Tian Kui was very pretty, Ling Xing was also very pretty despite being a bit arrogant, but this woman was even more beautiful than both of them. That's why Sun Ming lost his composure earlier.

  "Hmm, didn't you just buy a stone from that spiritual goods store?" the beauty asked impatiently.

  "What if it is, what if it isn't?" Sun Ming saw the beauty's impatient expression and suddenly had an idea to tease her a bit, giving her an ambiguous answer.

  "Whether it exists or not, that's what I'm looking for. Because just now when buying Dan medicine, the crystal stone was used up, and then returned to the master's residence to retrieve the crystal stone. You'd better give it to me, otherwise." The beauty heard Sun Ming's words and became furious, her voice trembling slightly.

  "This thing is right here with me, or what? Or how about it? Are you still trying to snatch it from me? I admit my cultivation is only at the Golden Elixir stage, but don't forget that this is the Sacred Alliance, conflicts can't happen here. Hmph, what can you do to me?" Sun Ming actually had a smug look on his face.

  The beauty also seemed to be very interested in this stone, and when she heard Sun Ming say so, she stomped her foot in anger, and for a moment, she couldn't think of what to say.

  "Beautiful girl, don't you have anything else? Otherwise I'll just leave." Sun Ming pretended to walk away.

  "Halt"

  "What are you going to do? You don't leave and you won't let me speak, did you take a fancy to me and feel embarrassed to open your mouth?" Sun Ming continued to tease.

  "Hmph, you think I'm interested in you? You're just a rookie at the Golden Elixir stage. I'm only interested in that stone in your hand, name a price!" The beauty said angrily.

  "Old lady, how old are you anyway? You look quite young, won't you be an illusion? Are you an old granny?" Sun Ming said another sentence that made people collapse. The beauty heard it and her teeth were clenched, it can be seen how angry she was at this moment.

  "I can only offer you ten top-grade spirit stones, which is already the highest price I'm willing to pay. I hope you're sensible and will accept this price, which is ten times what it's worth. I believe that should be enough for you." The beautiful woman took a deep breath and spoke slowly, but her tightly clenched fists clearly showed that her calm demeanor was just an act.

  Sun Ming suddenly felt that if he could tease this beauty every day, it might actually be pretty good. He couldn't help but start fantasizing in his heart.

  "What are you thinking? You're smiling so wickedly, how about ten top-grade spirit stones, this is the limit of what I can offer, don't be too excessive." The beauty seemed to have retreated a bit, and her tone actually had a hint of pleading.

  "I don't know why the beauty is in such a hurry to get this broken stone. If you tell me, I might even be kind enough to give it to you!" Sun Ming laughed.

  "What's that? Why should I tell you?" The beauty seemed quite displeased with Sun Ming's question, and again had a fierce look on her face.

  "Never mind, I don't care anyway. I'll just take my leave then." Sun Ming pretended to be uninterested and turned around to leave.

  "Halt"

  "Miss, we didn't have any grudges in the past and no conflicts recently. Why did you make me stop? I remember I didn't offend you, and I've never seen you before either." Sun Ming's timid appearance really made this beauty angry.

  "Hmph, I'll tell you anyway. This young lady is an alchemy equipment master, and just now was selecting some materials here. When I walked near this stone, the spiritual energy within me became active, indicating that I have a connection with this stone. And you want this stone merely for its so-called historical value, without any practical use, simply for appreciation. I've told you the reason, yet you still won't give it to me!!" The beautiful woman said impatiently.

  It seems that this beauty took me for a young master who is ignorant and useless, well today I'll just pretend to be one. However, Cloud Middle Master said that the Hongmeng Purple Fire is extremely rare, it's the king of fire types, how could another one appear so quickly? Could it be that this woman really also possesses the Hongmeng Purple Fire? Sun Ming felt a sense of crisis for the first time.

  "Hey, did you hear that? I've told you the reason, now are you going to give me my stuff or not?" The beauty said, and then took out ten top-grade spirit stones.

  Sun Ming looked at the ten top-grade spiritual stones floating above the beautiful woman's hand, and he had an urge to trade with her again. The greedy thought in his heart was acting up, but fortunately, Sun Ming came to his senses for a moment today and managed to shift his gaze away from the crystal stones with difficulty.

  "Although that's the case, I also can't give it to you. This is a gift that I finally found with great difficulty to give to my master, if I give it to you, how can I explain it to him? He likes the things of the Immortal Scatterer the most." Sun Ming said innocently.

  "I think I've figured it out, you little scoundrel, you were playing me from the start, weren't you? You never intended to give me the thing, did you?" The beauty's voice was trembling slightly, and it seemed like she was on the verge of an explosion. But Sun Ming suddenly felt that even when angry, the beauty looked good, her cheeks flushing with anger, making her look especially lovely.

  "I never said I'd give it to you, you're just being self-willed." Sun Ming said with a sly smile.

  "Hmph, I'll remember you, dare to tell me your sect's name?" the beauty angrily said.

  "What's wrong with that? Our sect is called the Tianshui Sect. If you have the ability, go find them." Sun Ming said, "The Tianshui Sect has let me be wronged and now I'm being made to take the blame."

  "Tianshui Sect, huh? Well, I, Murong Yunlai, hereby declare that from now on, our Qixiu Alliance will never again refine a single magical artifact for you." The beauty finished speaking and looked at Sun Ming with a rather pleased expression, seemingly thinking that Sun Ming would start wailing and kneel down to offer the stone with both hands.

  "Oh, I see." Sun Ming lazily replied with a sentence and then started walking back.

  "YOU!!!!!!" The beauty seemed to be caught off guard by Sun Ming's unexpected move, and it wasn't until he had taken several steps forward that she finally shouted out loud.

  "I, what's the big deal about me? The Mechanic Union is nothing. I don't care about you guys." With that, Sun Ming left the scene under the angry gaze of the beautiful woman.

  "What's wrong with Yun Luan? What are you doing here, did you buy anything?" An old man appeared next to the stunned Murong Yun Luan and asked.

  "Master, do you know of a sect called the Tianshui Sect?" Murong Yunfan asked without waiting for an answer, leaving the old man somewhat perplexed.

  "I know, a second-rate sect of the Hai Xuan Star. What's wrong? Did someone from their sect offend you? Impossible! These people are very respectful to alchemists." said the old man.

  "Offend me? It's not just offending, a Jindan stage kid from the Tian Shui Sect bought that piece of rock I told you about and even teased me. Hmph, this grudge won't be settled if I, Murong Yunfan, don't take revenge."

  "Heh heh, you're just too impatient, little girl. Why didn't you wait for the master to arrive and buy it from him then? You had to rush back yourself, now look what's happened - not only did you fail to make a purchase, but you were also teased by someone and even got cheated without realizing it?" The old man chuckled.

  "Been deceived? Master, what are you talking about?" Murong Yunfan asked with a puzzled expression.

  "Heh heh, you're still so naive, little girl. Think about it, if this person knew your identity and still dared to reveal the sect's existence, what does that imply? It means that the sect he mentioned has nothing to do with him. Otherwise, why would he get himself into such a huge mess for his own sect unless he's not in his right mind." The old man looked at Murong Yunlai with a very helpless expression.

  "Yun Luan, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you speaking? Don't be angry, it's just a piece of stone. Maybe it really is a useless stone, why get so angry about it? Besides, our Qiling Sect has everything we need, no need to care about that one stone." The old man hurriedly comforted Yun Luan, who was not speaking with a dark face.

  "Hmm, Master, you don't know the feeling that piece of stone gave me. It's the first time I've felt such joy from the spiritual fire within my body. Hmph, if this Golden Elixir stage kid dares to offend me again, I'll make him wish he was dead!" The last sentence "wish he was dead" was almost shouted out loud, showing his anger. However, perhaps these two have a fate, and they met again not long after.

  Yeah, Jian Ge still wants to ask for collection. You know I've written so much and the collection is just a little bit, it's really discouraging. Well, if you can collect it, please do, thank you, Jian Ge.
