I looked at six identical sealed ceramic pots and furrowed my brows, "The Ice Silkworm Gu is extremely cold, capable of turning everything within a hundred meters into a frozen snowfield. Only a lead lining can block out the cold."
"But how did you know the inner lining of this pot is lead? Do you have Perspective Eyes?" The Snake Tamer opened the pot I had chosen.
The inner wall of the pot indeed had a thick layer of lead, with thick frost condensed on it.
The moment the lid was opened, a white chill emerged from the pot, and I could vaguely see a white insect crouching at the bottom.
I really do have Perspective Eyes, sensing the unique chill inside the pot, I realized that it likely contained a rare Ice Silkworm Gu.
In this mixed and unfamiliar environment, I didn't want to reveal my identity easily. I bluffed, "Lead is dense and heavy, so this pot should be much heavier than the others."
"The girl really has a good eye." The Snake Tamer picked up another similar pot, weighing it in his hands, and did not doubt my words.
Xiao Li came over and hugged my neck, "Wanwan, You are so smart!! You apply physics in real life, your high school physics teacher would be laughing in their dreams."
"Just so-so." I blushed when I saw Xiao Li hadn't spotted such an obvious flaw.
The power of the Ice Silkworm was extraordinary, soon, the water on the ground near the stall all froze into a smooth ice surface.
The Snake Tamer closed the lid of the pot, "The girl is interested in the Ice Silkworm Gu."
"Yes, I want to buy the Ice Silkworm Gu. How much is it?" I was prepared to spend a lot of money.
The Ice Silkworm Gu is known as the Gu Queen, only second to the Golden Silkworm Gu of Emperor Valley.
It is generally impossible to buy an Ice Silkworm Gu in the market; it is something any Gu Breeder would be lucky to encounter.
It seems that someone had consigned this Ice Silkworm Gu here, perhaps encountering some insurmountable difficulties, which led them to reluctantly sell it.
The Snake Tamer smiled meaningfully, "The lowest price is this amount."
"Ninety thousand?" I guessed cautiously, interpreting the Snake Tamer's gesture.
The Snake Tamer raised his eyebrows, "Nine hundred thousand."
"That expensive?" My heart sank as I calculated all my savings.
All together, they weren't even half of nine hundred thousand.
This price was unexpected yet reasonable.
I tentatively asked, "Can it be cheaper?"
"Not even a penny less." The Snake Tamer was very resolute. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
I knew the Ice Silkworm was precious and hard to find, nearly impossible to haggle over, but I couldn't give up this chance and tried to bargain anyway.
According to the local customs here, I was rejected.
To try bargaining again would be seen as looking for trouble.
What should I do now?
The market stalls were temporary; if I didn't buy it today, I might miss the chance forever.
It would become a permanent regret if I could never get the Ice Silkworm Gu again.
Seeing that I was at a loss, Xiao Li couldn't help but ask, "What do you want the Ice Silkworm for? Is this insect very important to you?"
"I was thinking of buying it for you." I unwittingly spoke my mind, surprised Xiao Li, who opened her mouth, then I quietly explained, "The silk spun by the Ice Silkworm Gu can be used to make a Combined Silk Garment, which can help you and Beichen have babies."
"Have... have... babies..." Xiao Li probably longed so much to have a child with Beichen that at that moment, she suddenly covered her lips, her eyes slowly filling with tears.
At the same time, her eyes shimmered with hope, mixed with a touch of loss and bewilderment.
Xiao Li was just a young girl in her early twenties, how could she possibly come up with so much savings all at once.
Yet faced with such an unattainable opportunity, she couldn't give up.
Just then, a young man's deep voice came from behind, "I'll pay for it."
