Chapter 122: Making a fuss

Without saying anything, David threw one shiny mid-grade spirit stone in her direction.

"Ah! What a rude young man you are." Lyla raised her eyebrows at David's behavior; however, she still caught the spirit stone and silently pocketed it in her storage ring.

On the other hand, Sylvie was totally stumped by David's attitude.

"Did he just ignore my words?" Sylvie thought in her head while frowning. Ever since she could remember, she had never been treated like this before.

"You! Didn't you hear what I just said?" Sylvie pointed her finger at David and once again spoke.

This time David didn't ignore her but instead directly looked into her eyes and said, "I heard your words loud and clear, but I don't feel like answering your questions."

"You have a problem with that?"

After saying those words, David took his leave with the Origin Guard following behind him.

Now that he had paid the fine, there was no need for him to stay at this place any longer.

"You!!! How dare—" Sylvie gritted her teeth and shouted, her face fuming red from anger.

Lyla watched this scene with a hint of amusement in her eyes; she had no intention of speaking up for her beloved Sylvie.

No matter how much she shouted, David didn't bother looking back; he calmly walked away.

Moments later, David's figure completely disappeared from their view.

Sylvie looked at Lyla and asked with dissatisfaction on her face, "Senior, who is this guy?"

At her question, Lyla spread her hands in the air and said, "How would I know?"

"You seemed to be familiar with him. Shouldn't I be the one to ask you this question?" Her big and round talent jiggled when she said those words in a slightly exaggerated manner.

"This?" Sylvie was once again left dumbfounded by her behavior.

Senior, you are a dignified Nascent Soul Realm expert; please have some shame.

Of course, these were Sylvie's internal thoughts; she didn't dare to say them out loud.

This conversation had nothing to do with David. Right now, he was curiously roaming throughout the settlement to get a better understanding of the place he was in.

From what David had seen thus far, this place was similar to a small village, with its own little market and everything.

Most of the cultivators here were young people in their early twenties; as always, there was not a single child here.

Strangely, there were more women compared to men. This may be the case because the administrator of this settlement was a female, which made them feel more at ease here.

Anyway, while walking, David glanced at one of the shops selling a weird wine.

Outside the shop, people were patiently standing in a long queue waiting for their turn to enter inside.

"Bald Monk Wine Shop," David read the words hanging on the signboard out loud.

After knowing the shop's name, even David was intrigued.

He wanted to know what the bald monk was cooking.

David found a place to sit down beside the shop and patiently waited.

Soon, half an hour passed.

In this half hour, David finally understood all about the Bald Monk Wine Shop.

After all, he just needed to do a quick search on Green Heaven Web to know everything about the Bald Monk Wine Shop.

Turns out, Bald Monk was a gigantic organization with small shops like these spread all over Green Heaven World like a fast-food chain.

Their most sold wine, The Four Season wine, allowed the cultivators to increase their cultivation by a little bit.

This wine sold like hotcakes, racking in billions of spirit stones worth of revenue every day.

When David had first read this information, his mouth was opened so wide that an egg could easily fit inside it.

Here he was thinking he had gotten rich after selling a few cups of coffee.

But then came another question: what was the need to set up physical stores when they could sell the wine through the Green Heaven Web?

It was a question with multiple theories but no proper answer.

However, there was one that sounded most plausible.

Selling wines was the secondary business of the Bald Monk Wine Shop; their real business was gathering information and selling it on the Green Heaven Web.

David was beyond impressed by Bald Monk Wine Shop's business model; moreover, he had a feeling this was only the tip of the iceberg.

Suddenly, David had a strong urge to try out this wine.

He walked towards the shop entrance, and just as he was about to enter inside, someone shouted from behind.

"Hey, do you think I am stupid for patiently standing in this line?"

It was a tall, muscular man with a long beard who had spoken.

After hearing the words, David raised one of his eyebrows and looked at the man's face carefully.

"I am not sure, but you do look somewhat stupid," David innocently said.

Although David had spoken in a low voice, everyone else standing in the line heard his words loud and clear.

And instantly, the crowd started laughing loudly while pointing their fingers at the man in front of David.

The gloating look that everyone was giving him seemed to have turned the man furious. Unable to hold back his anger, he took action.

"I am going to kill you, you fucking bastard!" The man shouted and launched a punch in David's direction. Sёarᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

However, David grabbed the man's punch with a smile on his face.

In the next moment, he forcefully handed him a pouch filled with spirit stones and coldly spoke, "Take this and get lost."

The man's anger vanished like snow under the summer heat, and he looked at David with shock and disbelief in his eyes.

But the man still backed away and hurriedly disappeared from the place.

The man had lost face in front of such a large crowd; there was no point in staying in this place any longer.

After the man ran away, David didn't directly enter the shop but stayed and performed a slow ramp walk so that everyone could take a look at his face clearly.
