CH 31

Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen with his brows tightly knitted and asked uneasily: “Do you want to help Zhuang Yu? If you want to, it’s not too late.”

Mu Chen hurriedly shook his head and said, “No.” What a joke, even if he had a lot of money, he wouldn’t spend it on Zhuang Yu! What’s more, he doesn’t have many spirit stones left. 

Hearing Mu Chen’s reply, Ye Shi felt much more relaxed.

“Five thousand three hundred.” Chen Moran said in a rough voice, his face red.

“Five thousand five hundred.” Shui Linglong raised her voice and looked in Chen Moran’s direction with her eyes ablaze with anger.

“Five thousand six hundred.” Chen Moran was not to be outdone. 

“Five thousand seven hundred.”

Zhuang Yu bit his lip, pulled Chen Moran’s hand, and said softly, “Moran, forget it. You still have to keep some spirit stones to buy pills, this price is too high.”

“I’ve come this far, it’s a pity to give up now.” Chen Moran shook his head firmly.

Zhuang Yu bit his lip and said deeply touched, “Moran, you are so kind to me.”

Chen Moran looked at Zhuang Yu’s trusting eyes, feeling as if he had been fed a bewitching soup, and shouted, “Six thousand.”

“Bitch!” Shui Linglong scolded with a dark face, looking in Zhuang Yu’s direction.

“Sister, six thousand spirit stones is already far beyond the value of the Ice Lotus Water itself.” Shui Qiancheng frowned.

“I know, but, after missing this opportunity, it will be difficult to come across this thing again. Little bitch, she just knows how to flirt and act coquettish. Chen Moran, this idiot!” Shui Linglong said through gritted teeth, her face taut. 

“Moran, is it okay to spend six thousand spirit stones?” Zhuang Yu asked.

“It’s alright. It’s only six thousand spirit stones.” Chen Moran smiled lightly and said comfortingly.

Chen Moran’s heart trembled. Although the others had also contributed, he had shouldered the lion’s share. So that many spirit stones were actually a huge sum of money for Chen Moran.

Shui Qiancheng sighed. He looked at his sister and said, “Sister, seven thousand spirit stones is the limit, any higher is out of the question.” 

Shui Linglong ground her teeth, but, in the end, she could only comply, “Okay.”

“Seven thousand.” Shui Linglong ruthlessly quoted this price.

“Seven thousand one hundred.” Chen Moran’s voice was shaking.

Mu Chen felt amused by Chen Moran’s voice. For the sake of beauty, this guy was quite ruthless! 

“Ten thousand.” A careless voice called out.

Mu Chen looked towards the person shouting under the stage and his face changed dramatically.

With blue hair and greenish eyes, the real young attacker, Lan Ruofeng. How could he possibly appear so soon?

Zhuang Yu turned his head and glanced curiously in the direction of Lan Ruofeng, who raised his head and smiled at him gently. 

The eyes of the two destined lovers crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and, at last, converged for a myriad of years.

Mu Chen watched Lan Ruofeng and Zhuang Yu’s heartfelt exchange and felt a little funny in his heart. The moment Lan Ruofeng appeared, Chen Moran and the others around Zhuang Yu would all be reduced to sidekicks.

“Who’s that guy? He’s so rich.” Ye Shi opened his eyes wide and looked at Lan Ruofeng with shock and curiosity.

Mu Chen shook his head, “I don’t know him. He’s probably an outsider.” 

“He’s really rich!” Ye Shi looked at Lan Ruofeng with bright eyes.

Looking at Ye Shi’s admiring face, Mu Chen couldn’t refrain from saying, “He’s just a rich kid who doesn’t know the hardships of life.”

Ye Shi glanced at him and said disdainfully, “You say that as if you know the hardships of life.”

Mu Chen: “……” 

Chen Moran frowned and glanced at Lan Ruofeng with hostile eyes.

“Moran, don’t continue, 10,000 spirit stones is too high.” Zhuang Yu smiled faintly.

Chen Moran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, “I’m really sorry, A’Yu, I even promised you that I would take the Ice Lotus Water.”

“It’s alright, no one would have thought that things would turn out like this…” Zhuang Yu said somewhat sadly. 

Shui Qiancheng looked at Shui Linglong with concern, “Sister, don’t be impulsive.”

Shui Linglong took a few deep breaths, closed her eyes, and said, “I give up.”

Shui Qiancheng patted Shui Linglong’s back and said comfortingly, “Sister, don’t be sad. I’ll go to the surrounding towns and ask around, maybe they have Ice Lotus Water too.”

Shui Linglong nodded and said with a downcast expression, “I hope so.” 

“Brother, did you see the way that man looked at Zhuang Yu? He’s another lustful bastard. Zhuang Yu, what a bitch.” Shui Linglong cursed with disdain.

Shui Qiancheng reassured Shui Linglong helplessly, “Alright, alright, sister, don’t say more.”

Noticing the eyes around her, Shui Linglong gnashed her teeth reluctantly and withdrew her expression.

Shui Linglong looked at Lan Ruofeng, her eyes showing a bit of disgust, “A good young talent, why does he have to be entangled with Zhuang Yu?” 

Shui Qiancheng looked at Lan Ruofeng, “Sister, looking at this man’s demeanour. He is probably from an extraordinary background and should not be easily offended.”

Shui Linglong nodded and inwardly shifted her hatred for the loss of the Ice Lotus Water to Chen Moran, and this way, Shui Linglong’s object of hatred changed from Mu Chen to Chen Moran.
