Both women were portly and plump. They had also dressed up exquisitely, evidently from a wealthy family.
Qiao Mu glanced at them and shook her head. “It’s not for free.”
The young woman’s round face immediately showed a look of contempt. She stared at that drooping heavenly star and said, “Its leaves are wilting. It’s already dying.”
Qiao Mu blinked and glanced at the heavenly star again. She didn’t want to pay the mother and daughter duo any more attention, so she told the shop assistant who was standing there awkwardly, “How much is it? Wrap it up!”
“Tsk.” The young woman sniggered and told her mother with a look of scorn, “Mom, you can’t be like this in the future. Don’t even ask about those shoddy products. We have to buy the best, and not these random cheap things. It’s not like our family lacks the money.”
That little stoic did look truly have celestial looks, but her behavior really garnered disdain.
That declaration of “How much is it, wrap it up” made it seem like she was filthy rich and that she was buying some extremely precious item. It was truly laughable!
It was just a dying herb!
The young woman swept Qiao Mu a look of contempt.
Qiao Mu did not take her disdain to heart. After all, she knew whether or not she had money. Was there a need for her to announce to the world “I have money, I am rich” like a brainless fool…?
It was fine as long as she lived well. What did what other people think have to do with her?
Keep scoring me if you like!
So freaking senseless.
“Miss, this herb, cough. Even our shopkeeper doesn’t know what it is.” The shop assistant scratched his head and asked sincerely, “Are you certain you want to buy it? It looks like it won’t live for too much longer.”
“It’s fine, I’m buying it!” Qiao Mu waved her petite hand and asked, “How much is it.”
“This, one spirit currency will suffice.”
“Mhm, fine. I’ll buy it.” Qiao Mu instructed the shop assistant to wrap up the pot of heavenly star. In reality, she was jubilant on the inside.
Sh*t, a crucial catalyst for a neurotoxin was only being sold for a single spirit currency.
This was a black-rank medicinal material, God!
Tut tut, it looks like she had to read more books in the future. Reading more books made you cultured. Once you were learned, no one could pull the wool over your eyes.
The ancients do not deceive me!
As the little fellow was being smug on the inside, the mother and daughter duo were examining Qiao Mu with queer expressions.
The middle-aged woman felt like this little stoic had a screw loose in her head.
Otherwise, why would she spend a spirit currency to purchase a dying unknown herb?
“Truly hilarious.” The young woman sniggered with indifference.
“Xiang’er.” A man’s voice came from the staircase to the second floor.
A young man walked up the stairs over to Zhang Wuxiang with a doting smile. “Those medicinal materials have already been wrapped up. Did you happen to see anything else you wanted?”
“Brother Wu.” The young woman bashfully held his hand and shook her head with a smile. “I’m pretty much done. I’ve already bought all that I needed.”
Wu Jinyi nodded. When his gaze landed on the little stoic, he got entranced as if he saw a celestial.
Zhang Wuxiang could not help but glower at Qiao Mu. She swung Wu Jinyi’s arm and stomped her feet with a coquettish whine, “Brother Wu, what are you looking at?”
