In a simple basement of Zijing City
“Miss, you haven’t paid your accommodation fee for several days.” Said a bold man, eyeing her greedily.
Shi Miaomiao turned her head sideways. The man’s unbridled eyes made her very uncomfortable. If it had been before, she would have already taught him a lesson.
“Didn’t I pay it already the other day?” Shi Miaomiao frowned, somewhat discontented.
The bald man smiled and said, “Miss, you also know that the accommodation fee in Zijing City is very high. How can those star crystals you paid cover so long?”
With a darkened face, Shi Miaomiao said impatiently, “I know. I’ll pay you as long as I get enough.”
The bald man shrugged and said, “Well, you have to hurry!”
“Got it.” Shi Miaomiao said grumpily.
The bald man stopped by the door, looked back at her and said, “Miss, as I was saying, think about it. Wouldn’t it be better to have someone take care of you than living all alone?” speaking of which, he threw her a meaningful smile.
Shi Miaomiao only felt she was going to throw up. As she was about to lose her temper, that bald man already was gone.
Struggling to hold back her grievance, Shi Miaomiao stood up and began to count her belongings. Although she had tried her best save, the star crystals in her hand still shrank rapidly.
Shi Miaomiao bit her lip, could not help but feel angry. If the asshole Wu Xingyu had not cheated her out of everything she had, she should not have been so straitened.
She closed her eyes and felt regretful in the heart. If she had not fallen in love with Wu Xingyu and married Xu Chengfei, her life would never have been like this.
Although Xu Chengfei was a worthless wretch, and his talent was a little bit low, unlike Wu Xingyu who knew how to please women, at least he behaved and listened to her words.
Shi Miaomiao bit her lip. Many things on her body had been sold one after another in recent days. If things kept going on like this, soon she’d get thrown out of Zijing city.
Now it was the WANTED for her everywhere. Maybe the moment she stepped out of this place, those money-greedy people would immediately catch her.
Shi Miaomiao packed up her clothes, took a mask, changed her face and then went out.
…
Mo Fei followed Xu Chengfei to a large shop, “Jingji Shop, this shop is yours?”
Xu Chengfei nodded, faintly saing, “Yes!”
Mo Fei looked at Xu Chengfei, eyes glistening, “Oh man, second rich generation! This shop is huge!”
Mo Fei’s eyes swept all over the shop, a variety of potions, magic weapons, and customers wearing fine clothes keeping coming and going. It seemed the business was not bad.
Xu Chengfei smiled shyly and said, “There is a potions room behind. Do you want to have a look?”
Mo Fei’s eyes widened in surprise. “And you got a special potion room?”
Xu Chengfei nodded and said, “Yeah!”
Mo Fei followed Xu Chengfei into the back, Xu family’s potion room was divided into small compartments, each compartment had all equipment prepared. Mo Fei just followed Xu Chengfei to look around.
“You’ve got good conditions here!” Mo Fei said, tilting his head.
“I’m so flattered.” Xu Chengfei smiled humbly.
“Young master, young master, bad news.” The supervisor reported to Xu Chengfei in a hurry.
Xu Chengfei frowned, saying with dissatisfaction, “What? Anything happened?”
The supervisor glanced at Mo Fei and others, did not open his mouth.
Xu Chengfei took a look at Mo Fei and others, frowning, then said casually, “These are my friends, trustworthy.”
The supervisor took a look at Xu Chengfei, embarrassed.
Xu Chengfei impatiently said, “What’s it? Just shoot.”
The supervisor looked at Xu Chengfei and said, “Well, before that, our shop received a business-refining a thousand ice potions within a month…”
“A thousand ice potions. That’s a lot. How many star crystals will they pay?” Xu Chengfei could not help asking.
“Twenty thousand.” The supervisor answered.
Xu Chengfei frowned and said, “This price is a little unreasonable!”
Ice potion was a kind of peculiar potion, this kind of potion was only useful to the cultivators with ice properties. Besides, the expiration date of this kind of potion was very short. It’d go bad in three days if not used. So, they had to finish them and deliver them on the same day.
