Chapter 148: A Slap in the Face (1)
Zi Shang instinctively wanted to slaughter the old man for demanding such an exorbitant price. However, Ye Jiuge stopped him, “Don’t be foolish.”
There were many people outside who had seen her enter the store. If the store owner were to die suddenly, everyone would know that she’d done it.
“You humans are troublesome.” Zi Shang was in a bad mood. In the demonic race, they robbed or snatched anything that they wanted. Only hypocritical humanity preferred to go through such pains.
“If you find it troublesome, then return my body to me,” Ye Jiuge bellowed. This problem, which could have been easily solved, had become so complicated because of him.
“No way,” Zi Shang refused firmly.
Ye Jiuge almost went mad. However, Zi Shang had suppressed her consciousness. She could not return to her body no matter what she did.
Ye Ruyi did not notice Ye Jiuge’s anomaly. She rolled her eye at the old man and said peevishly, “You must have gone mad thinking about money.”
“Eldest Sister, let’s go!” Having said so, she reached out to pull Ye Jiuge’s hand.
Zi Shang could not bear to leave without obtaining the brick. He avoided Ye Ruyi’s hand and stared straight at the old man. In a low voice, he said, “Old man, it pays to be kind and honest. You are selling a brick for five thousand gold taels. Aren’t you scared of choking to death?”
