Chapter 239 - 239 Why Are You Short of Money?

239 Why Are You Short of Money?

“Why are you short of money?” Dongfang Jiao muttered to himself, feeling a little lost. After torturing him, he came to torture his wallet. Why was he so unlucky?

Beiting Huang didn’t say anything. Her eyes were fixed on the shops and floors on both sides. Although this place was simple and crude, the variety of goods here was especially eye-catching. There were magic nuclei of various grades, precious fur of magical beasts, sharp claws and skeletons that could be used for refining weapons, mutated magical beast blood, plant roots, and so on. There were also spiritual fruits that could be used to increase one’s cultivation strength and assist in advancement. No wonder there were experts who robbed this place. Seeing a few types of spiritual fruits, Beiting Huang was tempted to rob them.

Who asked her to be poor?

“Your Excellency Dongfang Jiao, I’ve been looking for you for a long time!”

A crisp voice sounded. In front of him, a fresh-looking girl in a red gauze dress ran over and looked at Dongfang Jiao with admiration and infatuation.

“Yi Na, why are you looking for me?” Dongfang Jiao’s smile was just right. His noble demeanor was obvious, and his words were exceptionally skilled.

Disappointment appeared in Yi Na’s eyes as she lowered her eyes slightly. “It’s like this, Dongfang Jiao. The Dongfang family is in our shop. Lord Dongfang Jian asked me to wait for you outside and go over when I see you!”

Dongfang Jiao didn’t seem to notice the change in Yi Na’s eyes. She still had a warm and distant expression on her face. He nodded and turned to say to Beiting Huang, “Why don’t we go over together? It just so happens that Yi Na’s shop also sells bread and wine. We can stock up on supplies there.”

Joy and satisfaction appeared in Yi Na’s clear spring-like eyes. She smiled and invited Beiting Huang and Chu Feng in. “Young master and Lord Chu Feng, I will sell the most delicious bread and the strongest wine to you at the lowest price. Please don’t worry. For the sake of Dongfang Jiao, I will definitely not deceive you like other black-hearted merchants!”

Beiting Huang glanced at Dongfang Jiao from the corner of her eye. This guy was really good at flirting with girls. He made the little girl head over heels for him. “Miss Yi Na, do as you please. I’m Dongfang Jiao’s good brother. He promised to treat me well. I’m not worried that you’ll lie to me!”

How could anyone in the Magical Beast Forest be simple?

As expected, disappointment flashed across Yi Na’s eyes. She immediately ignored Beiting Huang and only called out to Chu Feng. She chatted and laughed with Dongfang Xu as they walked towards her shop.

Yi Na’s addressing Beiting Huang as “Young Master” was disrespectful to Beiting Huang. On the continent, combat professionals should at least address Beiting Huang as “Your Excellency”. She probably thought that Beiting Huang was only 14 years old. At such a young age, he was at most a low-Star Sword Master. He was at the bottom of the Wanderer Camp. People with such strength had never been rich and were not worthy of her fawning over.

Sure enough, Dongfang Jiao paid for all of Beiting Huang’s expenses. This was not a place like the Imperial Capital. If one was not strong enough, they could not even afford a piece of bread.

“Little Ninth, Yi Na’s shop also has an interspatial ring that can preserve freshness. When the time comes, I’ll buy one for you and fill it with thousands of loaves of bread.” Dongfang Jiao casually acknowledged Yi Na before taking two steps back. He pulled Beiting Huang and spoke to him warmly.

Yi Na was stunned. She had never seen Dongfang Jiao fawning on anyone. That’s right, he was fawning on him. He spoke in a friendly voice and was so generous. The moment he opened his mouth, he asked for a spatial ring that could preserve freshness. Coupled with thousands of loaves of bread, how much would it cost?
