Chapter 164

What strange concoction is this?

Chloe thought she had read enough books, but she had never heard of the White Parrot Potion.

Seeing that Chloe remained silent, the stall owner continued unprompted:

"This potion was a great effort to obtain from the market. If you want to buy it, you'll have to pay... this price!"

He held up five fingers.

Chloe's eyes peered at the stall owner's hand from behind her pig mask for a moment, then she asked seriously, "Five copper coins?"

The stall owner: "..."

"Fifty thousand! Fifty thousand!" he emphasized heavily. "This White Parrot Potion is no ordinary potion. Just making it costs a fortune... Ah, why am I even explaining this to a little kid like you?"

A fortune? Made from white parrots?

For some reason, after the stall owner's words, Chloe became interested in this unheard-of yet touted White Parrot Potion.

She gazed at the stall owner's five fingers, gently brushing the transparent potion bottle, then said slowly:

"Oh, fifty thousand, huh."

Chloe paused, then looked up earnestly, "Will you sell it for five silvers?"

The stall owner: "..."

Daniel, who had just come over intending to show off his treasure to Chloe: "..."

Bargaining from fifty thousand down to five silvers?

Daniel feared getting beaten up, so he silently retreated a few steps without a word.

The stall owner could hardly believe his ears: "This is the White Parrot Potion! I spent nearly fifty thousand to obtain it from the market. You want to buy it for just five silvers?"

"You must be out of your mind!"

Chloe placed the White Parrot Potion back on the stall owner's counter and said slowly, "But you talked up this potion so much, yet in the entire black market, no one but me has even glanced your way."Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

"Do you really think that so many people in the black market can't recognize this miraculous potion?"

Chloe leaned forward slightly, her slender fingers tapping the potion bottle.

Hearing this, the stall owner faltered, finally beginning to scrutinize this child who barely reached his waist, then continued:

"... Well, not everyone has my eye for quality goods."

Chloe looked at him, silent.

The silver-white lashes of the young girl trembled slightly, and she appeared rather nervous, "... Don't you like it?"

"I love it! Of course I love it!" Chloe took the bow and examined it in her palm for a while, feeling it, then handed it back to Katherine, "But I don't need a bow and arrows, so you hold onto it for now."

Katherine nodded.

That just left Anderson and Daniel.

Anderson didn't buy anything; he didn't need anything, simply accompanying his impoverished companions and paying for them during the trip.

As for Daniel.

Daniel excitedly took out a little dress, eagerly showing it to everyone.

Everyone looked at the pink dress with dangling pearl sequins and fringes, falling into silence:

"..."

Qin Huaibei prided himself on being able to remain unfazed by Daniel's various shamelessly provocative antics.

But when he saw this dress, even he couldn't make sense of it: "Why did you buy a dress?"

Chloe looked at him: "I didn't realize you had this... interesting hobby."

Daniel saw their lack of understanding, but didn't mind, comparing the dress against his own body:

"You guys just don't get it. The shopkeeper said wearing this dress can make people think I'm a girl."

Everyone: "..."

Seeing everyone's disbelieving looks, Daniel added, "Not just think it - it can actually turn me into a girl."

Everyone: "..."

Chloe took a deep breath and turned to ask Anderson, "Why on earth did you agree to buy this for Daniel?"

Anderson blinked his emerald eyes, a hint of bewilderment flickering across them, "... Can't I? I have money anyway."

Anderson fell silent for a moment, then continued, "And he threatened me, saying that if I didn't buy him that dress, he would lie on the ground and start screaming and not leave."

Chloe felt a sense of suffocation, and shot a sharp glare at Daniel.

Sensing this, Daniel clearly felt defiant, and he protested:

"But I was just a cub, what's wrong with a cub throwing a tantrum?"

Chloe averted her gaze:

"No, it's fine as long as you're happy."
