Chapter 39: Checkmated person

“Big Senior Apprentice-Brother, you……, you like those crystal stone?”

Since he was unable to pull Ye Chuan away, fatty was forced to give up, and weakly looking at Ye Chuan, he mumbled while sweating abnormally.

The items of Flame Devil were certainly quality products!

This was something known by all the people in Ghost Market. But although the items offered to sell by Flame Devil were good things, but price however was also very exorbitant.

In Purple Cloud Peak, fatty Zhao Dazhi had boasted that even if he had nothing else, he had enough silvers. But now, seeing Ye Chuan was looking at the crystal stones offered to sell by Flame Devil with interest, he no longer became bold and uninhibited.

Top grade crystal stone ah, even 3,000 taels of silver were not enough to buy a single piece. And even if fatty took out all the silvers in his body as well as all his clothing including his underpants, that wouldn’t be enough to buy half piece of it.

“That’s natural, what, fatty, you don’t like it?”

Ye Chuan turned around his head and looked at fatty with an evil smile. And the face of fatty became even redder.

“If you want to buy, then take out 9000 taels of silver for a single crystal stone, can’t afford, then roll out, don’t block the way!”

Flame Devil coldly said, while his eyes coldly sweeping the people. Then the heat wave in the air suddenly intensified, and the ground in front of the grotto seems to be boiling up. After that the crowds of people of just a moment ago walked away, leaving behind only Ye Chuan and fatty.

Single crystal stone costs 9000 taels of silver? This is not selling, but a daylight robbery!

Hearing the cost, even the cultivators who used to spend money extravagantly in former days, all without exception gave up the thoughts to buy these crystal stone. Although these top grade crystal stones were good, but with such price, who could afford them?

“Big Senior Apprentice-Brother……”

Fatty Zhao Dazhi stretched out his hand and quietly pulled the clothing of Ye Chuan, wanting to walk away, while profusely sweating.

Without looking, he could sense that lots of people nearby were watching and pointing towards them. This price was so outrageous that even sect protector couldn’t afford to buy them, so if he stayed here, then wasn’t that just waiting for himself to lose his face? Could it be that, Big Senior Apprentice-Brother really thinks my family have big business and also have an inexhaustible amount of money as if flowing water?

Feeling the people were pointing towards him, fatty felt ill at ease all over. Not only was he sweating profusely, very soon he was going to cry with no other choice. He decided that from now onwards, even if he was beaten to death, he would never dare to boast in front of Ye Chuan, this Big Senior Apprentice-Brother.

Brag in front of other people, that was ability and impressive. But brag in front of Big Senior Apprentice-Brother Ye Chuan, and that was only slapping his own face.

“Boy, do you want to buy crystal stones?” Seeing fatty and Ye Chuan didn’t leave, Flame Devil smiled and asked. With white eerie teeth, rock like coarse and cracked face, and fiery red eyes, he looked ferocious and frightening. When he was not smiling, it was good, but when he smiled, it made people even more restless. And seeing this Flame Devil glancing him, the heart of fatty Zhao Dazhi suddenly jumped, and felt indescribable discomfort.

“These crystal stones are pretty good.” Ye Chuan nodded his head, and said calmly.

Fatty Zhao Dazhi who was standing beside Ye Chuan was so anxious that his forehead was already filled with beads of sweats, and panic was filled across his face. But he however made an appearance of rich and imposing.

“Paying 9,000 taels of silver for one crystal stone, really is wealthy, what is the origin of these two?”

“I don’t recognize the taller one, but I happened to know that short and fat one, he is from Cloud Mist Sect. I heard, his family’s rice stores run a very big business, and his family is very wealthy.”

“No wonder, stupid people with excessive wealth ah!”

………….

The onlookers were pointing out and talking in whispers. Since they couldn’t afford to buy, looking from one side was also fine for them.

Hearing the remarks of these people, the redness of fatty Zhao Dazhi reached to his ears, and felt even more ashamed to show his face. As for Ye Chuan, he just smiled, and glanced at fatty who was feeling unease.

“A piece of crystal stone for 9,000 taels of silver, but if you buy all of them, then I can give you a discount, a piece of crystal stone only for 8,500 taels of silver.” The complexion of Flame Devil slightly eased up, and the heat wave also became much weaker.
