Chapter 86 - Madam Feng (1/2)
'A real Spirit King! She's a real Spirit King! But how is that possible?! How can a Spirit King possibly remain in the Lower Heavens?!' Madam Feng cried inwardly after realizing her mistake that could potentially end her life.
”Please have mercy, Senior Spirit King! This junior had eyes but still failed to recognize your mighty presence!” Madam Feng then kowtowed on the floor with her smooth forehead kissing the solid floor.
However, Xiao Hua did not budge and continued to release her spiritual energy.
”What's going on here?! Which expert is emitting this powerful presence?!”
”This expert definitely surpasses the Spirit Grandmaster realm! The Spirit Lord realm? No! It's even higher! This presence belongs to a Spirit King!”
The other experts located within the Golden Phoenix Bazaar were greatly shocked when they sensed Xiao Hua's immense presence that appeared out of thin air. However, they were too scared to even peek their heads out the windows to see the situation, much less show themselves, and unless directly told to, they would rather not stick their noses where it doesn't belong, especially when a Spirit King was involved.
After all, a single mistake could mean the end of their business and even their life! That's how much power a Spirit King holds in this Lower Heavens where the peak experts are only at the Spirit Grandmaster realm!
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Golden Phoenix Bazaar, Madam Feng remained kowtowing on the floor, not even daring to lift her head.
”Xiao Hua, it's okay now. We're not hurt,” Yuan said to her a moment later.
”Un.” Xiao Hua nodded her head and immediately retrieved her powerful aura, allowing Madam Feng to breathe again.
”Are you okay?” Yuan approached Madam Feng before extending his hand out to her.
”T-Thank you…” Fearing that Xiao Hua might get angry at her again if she doesn't accept his hands, Madam Feng grabbed Yuan's hands and allowed him to pull her to her feet.
”Anyway, I will apologize again for getting ahead of myself and causing trouble for you, and I never intended on harming you.”
Madam Feng lowered her head and bowed to them in an apologetic manner after she was standing again.
”It was only a misunderstanding, you don't have to take it to the heart,” Yuan said with a calm smile on his face.
”Anyway, since you have confirmed that Xiao Hua is indeed at the Spirit King level, we should be able to shop in the Golden Phoenix Bazaar, right?” Yuan then asked her.
”Y-Yes…” Madam Feng quickly nodded her head. Nobody would dare to stop them even if they wanted to live in the Golden Phoenix Bazaar.
And she continued, ”If you don't mind, I can help you with whatever you're looking for. I am the owner of the Phoenix Heaven in the Golden Phoenix Bazaar, one of the most renowned stores in the city. No matter what kind of treasure you're looking for, we will have it. If we don't, we'll know where you can find it.”
”That'd be great!” Yuan said, and he continued, ”We're looking to buy a Spirit Fruit.”
”Spirit Fruit…?” Madam Feng looked at him with a dazed face, seemingly speechless.
Yuan immediately began feeling nervous after seeing Madam Feng's reaction, worried that it might not be available because of its rarity.
However, Madam Feng was thinking the complete opposite, as Spirit Fruits are pretty worthless in the Golden Phoenix Bazaar, where the treasures are usually worth 100 times more than Spirit Fruits.
”If it's only Spirit Fruits, I can offer some to you for free…” Madam Feng said to him a moment later.
”Really? Isn't it very expensive, though?” Yuan looked at her with wide eyes.
”Yes, it's my way of saying sorry for the trouble I've caused you three today.” Madam Feng said. ”And if I have to be honest, Spirit Fruits aren't that valuable in my eyes, as my shop sells things that are worth way more.”
”Since you don't mind, I won't be humble,” Yuan nodded his head.
”Please, follow me.” Madam Feng said as she turned around and began walking away.
”Isn't this great, Yu Rou? We don't have to spend any money on the Spirit Fruit now,” Yuan said to her as they followed Madam Feng.
”Un,” she nodded.
A few minutes later, they entered this luxurious building that was somewhere in the middle of the Golden Phoenix Bazaar.
”Welcome back, Madam Feng. Welcome to the Phoenix Heaven, esteemed guests.” The workers inside greeted them the moment they entered the building.
Madam Feng nodded her head before speaking to one of the workers there, ”Bring me three Spirit Fruits and wrap them up nicely; it's for these esteemed guests.”
”As you wish, Madam Feng.” The worker bowed before walking away.
”Three Spirit Fruit? We only planned on buying one,” Yuan said to her afterward.
”Don't worry about it, one or three— it doesn't make a difference to me,” Madam Feng said to him with a smile, and then she suggested, ”Anyway, it might take some time for them to wrap up the Spirit Fruits. Why don't I show you around the store while we are waiting?”
