Tracing Yi Chen’s gaze, Gao Zhen said with a smile, "That’s a Heart Soothing Baritone, and it is one of our best sellers.
It is especially popular among single women who listen to the artefact’s soul-soothing melody to relax their lonely hearts.
However, it’s also popular among a segment of men. How about it? Is Young Master Chen also interested in it?"
Gao Zhen teased. Although it was a little rude, this was her way of getting back at Yi Chen for not falling under her charms.
Hearing her words, how could Yi Chen not understand the underlying meaning behind those words?
’So, you want to make fun of me with just that, huh?’ Yi Chen internally chuckled at this childish attempt.
He was a person from the internet age, so it would be a miracle if a remark like this would even be able to prick him.
As a result, he decided to play along with her.
"Madam Gao is indeed right. I would really like to have one to listen to every night.
Nothing is as enticing as a male’s singing voice during those lonely nights. Isn’t that right?" Yi Chen asked with a straight face.
"This..." The playful expression on Gao Zhen’s face froze the moment she heard those words.
’Wait, what? ...Is he serious?’ she thought to herself in disbelief as an uncomfortable expression formed on her face.
’Now that I think about it...could the reason behind why he didn’t succumb to my charms earlier be this....if he’s that kind of a man...then it indeed makes sense...’
With this series of thoughts jumping around in her mind, the gaze with which she was looking towards Yi Chen turned weirder as she unconsciously took a step back.
This was her first time dealing personally with such an individual, so she was momentarily at a loss on how to react.
Seeing the earlier playful and confident look on Gao Zhen’s face being replaced by that of a lost child, a victorious smirk formed on Yi Chen’s face, and he finally said.
"It seems that Madam Gao thinks that she’s the only one who can be playful. I’m somewhat of a player myself, you see,"
Gao Zhen: "..."
It was only now that Gao Zhen realised that she had been played right into Yi Chen’s hands.
A feeling of utter embarrassment and fury welled up inside her the next moment.
’To think I, Gao Zhen, would get played by a Young Man like this...’ she thought in frustration and said while clenching her teeth.
"Young Master Chen...sure knows how to crack jokes..."
Seeing the ugly expression that was plastered on her face, Yi Chen was quite pleased. However, he was still aware that her cultivation stage was at a much higher stage than his, so he didn’t poke her any further.
"Haha, it’s all in good light, Manager Gao. Besides..." Gesturing towards the series of artefacts that were showcased on several shelves and glass cases, he said, "Where exactly would those storage artefacts we talked about be? I don’t see them around here."
Seeing that Yi Chen didn’t stay on that topic any further, Gao Zhen sighed subtly.
As a result, her frustration subsided, and a customary smile soon returned to her face.
"Oh, those? They are a little further inside. Let me take you there." With that said, Gao Zhen escorted Yi Chen towards the storage artefacts as Yi Chen’s gaze went to several artefacts around him.
It was only now that he was realising that those ’Heart Soothing Baritones’ were the cheapest of the artefacts that were available on this floor.
’This...at this rate, will I even be able to afford those storage artefacts?’ he thought as the prices of the artefacts he was passing by started rising by a digit after every few steps of his.
However, the twenty per cent discount he was granted thanks to his golden card gave him a little solace.
’Even if an artefact’s price reaches 20 High Grade Spirit Stones, I’ll still be able to get it with only 18 stones,’ he thought with a pleased smile on his face.
Soon they reached an area where the number of displayed artefacts reduced.
Pointing towards a black waist pouch, Gao Zhen said, "This is the best-selling storage artefact that we have, it’s called a Storage Pouch."
Gao Zhen introduced. As she did that, she made sure to block the price card, which had 30 High Grade Spirit Stones written on it, with her body so Yi Chen couldn’t see its price.
When Yi Chen’s gaze fell upon the pouch, his eyes glimmered with joy as he asked the next instant, "So how much is the space inside?"
"It has one cubic meter of space inside it. How about it? Is Young Master Interested?" Gao Zhen asked with a smile.
Hearing the space, Yi Chen’s brows furrowed the very next instant.
’Just one cubic meter?’ he thought in disappointment and shook his head.
"Do you have one with a greater storage space?" he asked.
"We do." The smile on Gao Zhen’s face widened when she heard his words and gestured towards the staff who was standing nearby the next second.
"The next segment of storage artefacts we have is particularly famous among all the noble and major clans in the city."
By the time Gao Zhen finished those words, the staff member had laid out several transparent cases on a wooden counter beside them.
Walking towards them, she said, "As you can see, unlike the pouch-like appearance, these storage artefacts come in different varieties.
Rings, necklaces, bracelets and even earrings. These are all the designs which are in trend right now."
Gao Zhen took out a black and silver ring from one of the cases and gave it to Yi Chen to hold "This will suit Young Master really well,"
When Yi Chen heard her words, he nodded to himself while playing around with the ring.
He really loved how sleek it looked.
"How much storage capacity does this have?" he asked the next moment.
