"Sorry Tang Yue. I am only making more trouble for you." Charlotte silently mumbled after leaving the shop. She felt bad for drawing unnecessary attention.
"Meh. Don't worry about it." She chuckled. Her gloomy and angry mood had dissipated.
"When it comes to attracting trouble, I am much more talented than you. So having you around is really not that big a deal."
That is if you don't double-cross me… But Tang Yue didn't say that last part out loud.
The duo then walked around for quite a bit before heading into the meat market.
Tang Yue didn't know when she would get the chance to upgrade her bloodline again, but she wanted to gather some more mid-grade and high-grade beast meat if possible.
She had a lot of gold left from Xander's spatial rings and she didn't plan on returning anything back to that cold-hearted bastard.
Just as she was heading towards the chop shops, a familiar fatty caught her eyes near one of the gem traders.
Marvin was standing in front of the stall and was loudly arguing with the shop owner about something.
A wicked smile appeared on Tang Yue's scholarly kind face and she started walking towards that shop.
He He He. It looks like I am finally going to be able to get my hands on that sword technique.
She chuckled inwardly, celebrating her godly luck.
Charlotte as well had noticed Marvin but she didn't question Tang Yue and quietly followed her.
As they neared the shop, Marvin's loud voice promptly assaulted their ears.
"You better agree to my trade while I am still in a good mood! Otherwise, you won't even get a copper in return for your useless crap."
"Ho Ho Ho. If it's so useless, then why does young master Marvin want to buy it so stubbornly." The elf harrumphed.
There were very few people in Eldoria who could stand up to Marvin but it looked like this shopkeeper had some guts.
Most probably he is backed up by someone in the royal family. Otherwise, he wouldn't act so brashly.
Tang Yue was impressed with him. She walked closer and peeked to take a look at what exactly had brought about this discussion.
In front of the seated shopkeeper, there were two glass vials with a small ten-colored plant.
"Oh! This herb!" Tang Yue nodded. Now she had somewhat understood what was going on.
This was the same herb she had picked out back in the banks of the labyrinth's azure lake.
A few other people must have also collected it and now it was going around the market for trading.
She herself had a few hundreds of these herbs and here, this fatty was losing his steam over a measly couple.
Tang Yue grinned.
As soon as he saw a dwarf wandering towards the store, Marvin was alarmed and he instantly became defensive.
Already his day was very bad with this haughty shopkeeper refusing to trade the herbs with him for gold.
He only wanted high-quality ores and gems in exchange for these herbs and Marvin didn't have any with him at the moment.
He was an alchemist. Why would he carry around precious ores and gems?
He tried asking the shopkeeper for a loan and he could always pay back the high-quality ores later on, but the damned elf was also not agreeing to that.
Now to make matters worse, a dwarf had even approached the store.
"Hey, you. Can't you see that we are busy here? Get lost." Marvin shouted and immediately tried to get rid of this dangerous intruder.
Since Tang Yue looked very harmless and innocent, Marvin didn't hold back at all. He brought down the hammer with full force.
"Heh. What are you talking about? Isn't this a market street and is this shop not open?" Tang Yue smirked.
She then looked towards the shopkeeper for a response with a smug look on her face.
The shopkeeper simply grunted and nodded.
He didn't know if the dwarf in front of him was worth anything, so he didn't involve himself in the squabble.
His indifferent response only egged Marvin more. The chubby elf huffed and puffed in anger. His patience had been tested a little too much today!
"If I myself don't have something that's worth your attention, then how do you expect this wastrel to have anything worth trading?" He scoffed at the shopkeeper.
And then he turned around and yelled at Tang Yue again. "Are you still standing here?"
Tang Yue ignored him and calmly asked the shopkeeper. "I am also interested in those two herbs. What do you want for those?"
"SHUT THE HELL UP! What nonsense are you spouting?? They are already sold. Get out of here." Marvin shouted, his saliva spewing all over on Tang Yue.
"Bleh." Tang Yue made an expression as if she was disgusted remark and wiped her face. "Behave yourself, you little fatso."
Since she was a dwarf now, she conveniently feigned ignorance of who the almighty young master was.
"How… How dare you talk like this to me??!! Do you even know who I am???" Marvin was livid with anger.
Did every Tom, Dick, and Harry think that they can walk all over him?? You have got to be kidding me!!
"I don't really care who the heck you are. Just move aside and let me do my business." She arrogantly snorted.
The elf's face paled but he simmered down unexpectedly. "Hmph. I will see what makes you sound so arrogant. Take out what you have."
"Heh. How can trash like you afford these herbs?" He grumbled and stood on the side, with his arms crossed in front of him, waiting for Tang Yue to make a fool out of herself.
"Are you injured in your head or what? Why do I have to show my items to you?"
"I will make a deal or not make a deal with the shopkeeper. That is entirely my business. Just who the heck are you?" Tang Yue spat out condescendingly.
Hearing her words, Marvin almost lost it completely.
He didn't want to get into any unnecessary trouble right now because he was dealing with something sensitive on the down low, namely planning the execution of one hateful snake.
But this bastard in front of him was equally annoying.
He almost lost all his self-control and wanted to kill him right this instant, even if it was the last thing he did.
Marvin himself didn't understand why this sissy dwarven pretty boy made him so inexplicably angry!!!
