Regarding this woman's unreasonable entanglement, Yang Kai really had no good way to deal with it; he could only ignore it. Hu Meier could also see Yang Kai's aloofness, so she naturally didn't dare to tease him further, merely following him like a shadow.
Following the direction sensed by the Yang Source Seal, Yang Kai walked a short distance and stopped at a stall.
After glancing at it briefly, Yang Kai's eyes lit up. He found that the items on this stall were really good, and most of them suited his taste.
Those round stones, each about the size of a baby's fist, emitted a strong, hot yang qi, much stronger than the previous stall's, only smaller in size.
The price probably shouldn't be higher than the previous stall's, right? Yang Kai hesitated, but the stall owner enthusiastically greeted him: "Young man, what catches your eye? My goods are high quality and cheap; passersby must not miss them. Whether you use them yourself or resell, it's a sure profit with no loss."
Gritting his teeth, Yang Kai asked: "How much for these stones?"
The stall owner lowered his head, looked, and laughed: "You mean Yangyan Stone? Not expensive, five hundred taels each."
Yang Kai's face darkened; although he knew the price was fairly reasonable, he still shook his head: "It's a bit pricey."
All he possessed amounted to roughly five hundred taels.
The stall owner shook his head with a smile: "Young man, you're joking; my items are clearly priced, I certainly won't ask for an exorbitant amount. Go check other stalls, see their prices, and you'll see how cheap mine is."
That made sense; Yang Kai had walked this route, though he hadn't bought anything, he had inquired about prices plenty, knowing this person's asking price wasn't high. But in trade, of course one must haggle.
Left with no choice, Yang Kai engaged in a verbal battle with the stall owner, trying to get him to concede some benefit. However, the stall owner kept shaking his head, and by the end he also became vexed, reluctantly saying: "Young man, these goods aren't mine; I'm selling them for the gang. I can only sell more, not less, otherwise I'd have to pay out of pocket to make up the difference, so please don't make things difficult for me."
"The gang?" Yang Kai startled, turned his head to look at Hu Meier standing aside.
Around here there's only one gang, the Blood Battle Gang!
Hu Meier sweetly smiled: "Yes, this is my family's stall. Do you want these stones?"
Yang Kai nodded.
"Agree to one condition of mine, and I'll give you all these dozen or so stones!" Hu Meier's eyes darted.
"Miss…" the stall owner's face changed drastically; if he lost this batch of goods in his hands, his trouble would be great.
"No problem, I'll tell my father." Hu Meier reassured him; upon hearing that, the stall owner fell silent.
"How about it? As long as you agree to one thing, it's fine." Hu Meier beamed: "For you men, it's a simple matter."
"Don't even think about it!" Yang Kai firmly refused, thinking with his toes, he also knew what Hu Meier was after.
"You…" Hu Meier glared at Yang Kai angrily, her eyes almost devouring him.
Actually speaking, her interest in Yang Kai wasn't that great; that day she had actively offered herself to tempt him, but failed to conquer him, which left Hu Meier somewhat vexed, and besides, she had even suffered a small loss!
No man can resist being seduced by his own beauty! Hu Meier firmly believed this; she wanted Yang Kai to submit, and once he did, she would withdraw and then enjoy watching his embarrassment.
If Hu Meier wanted a man, she could hook her finger and have plenty; if she didn't have another motive, why would she degrade herself so? She is wanton and licentious, but that's merely a façade, a pretense to deceive outsiders.
