“I’ll give you two hundred and twenty Low-Quality Spiritual Stones. I want your Sea Serene Herbs.”
The beautiful woman from the superpower kingdom looked arrogantly at the black-clothed man on the stage, and looked at Lou Mu Yan in her peripheral vision with disdain in her eyes.
A woman from who knows where that depended on Luo Li was worthy to contend with her? Originally, she also didn’t need this Sea Serene Herb, but her competitiveness rose.
The indifferent man on the stage, who was about to make a deal, paused, glanced at the woman lightly, then tossed the Profound Ice Jade Box to Lou Mu Yan, “The trade is complete, you put the Sea Serene Herbs away well.”
After speaking, he didn’t even look at the woman who spoke again and went straight off the stage.
So what if she was from a superpower kingdom? He was a royal member of a large kingdom to begin with. That woman wanted to lower the price before, and now she used such a domineering tone, as if an order. As if he would bother with her.
What’s more, he needed a Grade 3 pill that could improve cultivation bases more. He only prepared to trade for Spiritual Stones as the last resort.
The beautiful woman’s eyes sank when she saw this, and anger rose on her pretty face. Then she turned her head and glared at Lou Mu Yan.
Lou Mu Yan’s eyes were cold. Did everyone think she was a soft peach1 and wanted to squeeze her?
“Mu Tong, what kind of gaze is that? Do you take me for dead?” Luo Li suddenly became unhappy when he saw Mu Tong glaring at Lou Mu Yan with vicious eyes.
Mu Tong was stunned for a moment and didn’t expect that Luo Li would criticise her just because she glared at her. That woman’s face was just like a vixen, she was actually able to get Luo Li, that wooden head2 to be so enchanted and stand up for her.
“Luo Li, she’s just a woman from a small kingdom, must you blame me? It’s fine to play with such a woman, but if you dare bring her back, the Luo Patriarch would definitely beat you up.” Mu Tong didn’t want to be outdone and sneered.
There was a bit of killing intent in Luo Li’s eyes. Gathering Elemental Energy, he raised his hand and was about to strike her with a palm but was stopped by Lou Mu Yan.
“You’re not allowed to fight here. If she leads you to fight, you will definitely be kicked out from the Trade Fair by the Pill Tower, then wouldn’t it have gone according to her wishes?” Lou Mu Yan didn’t ignore the scheming in the eyes of that woman opposite.
Luo Li’s temperament was relatively straightforward and would most likely take action when he heard such words. When the Pill Tower drove them out, then they would be the ones to be embarrassed. The woman would not only regain her face, but could even continue to participate in the Trade Fair.
Luo Li originally didn’t understand why Lou Mu Yan stopped him, but after listening to her, the anger in his chest grew even more intense. But he held back and when he took a look, as expected, he saw Mu Tong’s expression of disappointment.
“That’s true. We won’t follow that ugly woman’s plans.” He sneered and sat up straight.
“Luo Li, you say that again.” Mu Tong was about to provoke Luo Li to act, but she didn’t expect that vixen to have some brains. But after hearing the other party say ‘ugly woman’, her face instantly turned black.
Luo Li raised an eyebrow: “Ugly woman. It’s no wonder that people say that ugly people will do all kinds of things to get attention. I didn’t understand it before, but I finally understand after meeting you.”
“Haha…” Many people in the audience couldn’t resist laughing when they heard him say that.
Mu Tong was furious, but she was very rational and didn’t act. She cursed Lou Mu Yan inwardly. If it weren’t for that woman, she wouldn’t have been spoken to like that by Luo Li.
“Alright, let’s start the next one.” Elder Xiao spoke slowly to stop the quarrel between the two.
After speaking, he looked at Lou Mu Yan with a meaningful gaze, but he was mostly curious and wasn’t dissatisfied.
Mu Tong’s face was grim, and she hated Lou Mu Yan and Luo Li inwardly.
Luo Li’s anger had yet to subside. He leaned over and asked Lou Mu Yan, “That’s it?”
Lou Mu Yan looked at him in amusement, “Even I’m not angry, what’re you angry about.” It was just a few words, it wasn’t as if a piece of meat was bitten off of her. Even if she wanted to ‘repay’ them, she wouldn’t use such childish methods such as arguing.
“I’m still upset.” Luo Li pouted.
“It’s boring to quarrel with her back and forth like this, and also wastes time. Like it’s hard to prank people.” Lou Mu Yan said with a chuckle.
Luo Li’s black eyes brightened and asked: “How do you plan to prank her?” He just knew that this woman wouldn’t endure such slander.

Besides, even if he brought Lou Mu Yan back, his old man would not only not beat him out, but he would even reward him.
If Lou Mu Yan just casually took out a jug of Spiritual Wine, his old man would definitely welcome her as an important guest. But this kind of thing naturally couldn’t be said to Mu Tong in public.
“Lend me your ears.”
Luo Li moved his head closer and He’lian Lie saw the two of them whispering. Although he couldn’t hear them, but he could imagine that it was definitely not a good thing.
He didn’t have much interaction with Lou Mu Yan, but he was certain that she definitely had the kind of temperament that would retaliate at the smallest wrongs.
For the rest of the time, Sword Masters continued to introduce the items to be traded.
“This is a Black Crystal Diamond. If it is made into a Magic Tool, it will help increase Mental Energy and it will have the best effect on Alchemists. I want to exchange it with Spiritual Tones. Minimum is three hundred Low-Quality Spiritual Stones. It will go to the highest bidder.”
A burly and honest-looking man walked up to the stage with a small black stone the size of a thumbnail and introduced it.
Mu Tong’s originally calm face suddenly revealed a happy look. She was an Alchemist. She had been looking for this Black Crystal Diamond constantly. Who knew that she would meet it here.
Black Crystal Diamonds of such size were also very rare. She could bring them back and ask the family’s Smith to help her refine a pair of earrings.
“Four hundred Spiritual Stones.” She directly bid.
Lou Mu Yan asked Luo Li: “Do you have Spiritual Stones on you?”
“Yes. Do you want the Black Crystal Diamond? I’ll bid it and gift it to you.” Luo Li said with a smile.
In a small and remote kingdom like Yan’zhou, there were no Spiritual Mineral Veins at all. All the Spiritual Stones used for the Teleportation Array were even given to them by large kingdoms each year. He guessed that Lou Mu Yan didn’t have Spiritual Stones.
Lou Mu Yan actually had Spiritual Stones, but the Spiritual Stones from the Ye Clan was obviously not enough here.
“No need. Just watch how I prank her later.” Lou Mu Yan’s stunning little face revealed a cunning smirk.
Luo Li stared jadedly at the sly smile on her face, then immediately turned his head. His face was a little hot. This woman looked really nice when she smiled like this.
“Mm. Prank as you will. I definitely have more Spiritual Stones than her.” He took a deep breath and curbed his emotions, saying.
“Seven hundred.” One of them kept bidding against Mu Tong.
Mu Tong definitely wanted to obtain that Black Crystal Diamond, “Eight hundred.”
The person was silent for a bit, then didn’t continue to bid. Clearly, either the price exceeded his expectations, or he was short of money.
Seeing that no one else was bidding, the burly man on the stage said with a smile: “This Young Miss has bid eight hundred Spiritual Stones. If there is no higher bid, this Black Crystal Diamond will be traded to her.”
There was still silence below, and Mu Tong couldn’t resist revealing a smug smile on her face.
In fact, her heart still hurt a bit. Spiritual Stones couldn’t be compared to mere purple-gold coins. Spiritual Stones were a common currency among high-level Sword Masters and could also be used to cultivate with. She only had around three thousand Low-Quality Spiritual Stones, and it was something that she had saved up for a long time, but this time, she used eight hundred.
Just when everyone thought that Mu Tong was definitely going to win the bid without any suspense, and when the burly man was just about to announce the winner, they heard a pleasant female voice.
“A thousand Spiritual Stones.”
Everyone followed the voice and looked over. When they saw that the bidder was the alluring woman who was humiliated by Mu Tong’s words earlier, they all revealed expressions like they were watching a good show.
