739. A Blessing in Disguise (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Inside the Enlightenment Tower
"Why are they here again? Haven't they just spent a month in the Tower?"
"Last time they spent tens of thousands of medium star crystals here, and now they came again? So rich!"
"Hum, just a bunch of nouveau riche. Earning so little star crystals and they already don't know who they are."
"There's something you don't know, the reason they are now anxious to spend star crystals is because they are afraid that soon enough they can't spend any even if they want to."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know if Mo Fei and Xiao Chen got possessed or what. They even try to detoxify one of the top ten poisons on Chen Fan. But instead of saving him, they only made him suffer. I heard that Chen Fan is nearly dying. After senior Chen Xiaoyao comes back, none of them could escape from it."
"They may not live much longer, then."
"Yeah."
"So is this their last hurrah?"
Li Mo stood on the side, with cold light flashing in his eyes. He was looking forward that Chen Xiaoyao would appear soon and kill Mo Fei and others.
...
"I heard that they went to the Enlightenment Tower again." Gongsun Ming couldn't help saying.
"Zheng Xuan and Su Rong have made it to the middle stage of xuan class." Chen Jie said with a disappointing tone. Seeing that someone who was far behind him now surpassed him, of course he felt frustrated.
Luo Jiayue closed her eyes, almost overwhelmed by jealousy.
"Well, just go as they want, this is their last pleasure anyway. Now it's said that when Senior Chen comes back, their days are over." Luo Jiayue looked a bit wicked.
"Maybe not. Chen Fan isn't dead yet." Chen Jie said.
"He is going to die soon. Everyone says he can't survive the next cold poison attack." Luo Jiayue sneered.
Gongsun Ming looked at her, saying helplessly, "Junior sister, don't talk nonsense."
Luo Jiayue bit her lip and shut her mouth. Chen Fan is not someone they should comment on.
...
Mo Fei waited outside the star herbs shop for a long time before Xiao Chen arrived.
"Why are you so late? I thought you weren't coming." Mo Fei looked at Xiao Chen, mouth twitched.
Xiao Chen reluctantly shrugged his shoulders, "You know, my shifu is old. Old people all like nagging."
Mo Fei lowered his head, giggled, then said, "If your shifu hears that, you'd...die young."
Xiao Chen gave a hollow laugh, trying to turn the topic, "Enough of it, let's go pick the star herbs."
Mo Fei nodded, "All right."
Mo Fei looked toward the prices, heart bitterly convulsed. One had to say, the star herbs shops of Luoxia Sect were really gangster shops!
Mo Fei and Xiao Chen, together, went over.
"What star herbs do you need, sirs?" The supervisor of the shop asked enthusiastically when he saw the two of them.
Mo Fei looked into the supervisor's glinting eyes and sensed that the other side was like looking at two fat pigs for slaughtering.
Xiao Chen quickly took out a list and handed it over to him.
Seeing the star herbs on the list, Mo Fei opened his eyes wide, "How can there be so many? Holy crap!"
Xiao Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "On the way here, I thought of a lot of new ones we need."
Mo Fei, "..." Xiao Chen you son of a bitch!
The supervisor took the list with a smile and got the star herbs they needed.
"A total of 21,600 medium star crystals." The man said.
"What?" Mo Fei popped out his eyes, Xiao Chen also felt surprised. So cheap?
"The lady told us. We'll give you 50% off of the things you need." The supervisor explained
Mo Fei wide opened his eyes, pleasantly surprised, "Ah? Really?? Fifty percent off! Why does Miss Ye suddenly become so generous? Does she...have a crush on me?"
Xiao Chen blinked, "Sir, I want ten more portions of star herbs for hypochondriasis."
Mo Fei glumly gave Xiao Chen an eye, saying grumpily, "You spendthrift, just blowing your money! Sir, we don't need these. Don't listen to his bullshit."
The supervisor looked at Mo Fei, thoughtfully saying, "I will give you, for free."
Mo Fei looked at him with an expression of "are you kidding me?'. What does this guy mean?
The supervisor then took ten portions of star herbs for hypochondriasis, and Xiao Chen can't wait to take them over.
"Why do you take them?" Mo Fei said snappishly.
Xiao Chen said reasonably, "It's for free. Why not? Besides, you do need it."
Mo Fei and Xiao Chen took the star herbs and left. Mo Fei was frowning, feeling kind of confused.
"What are you thinking? I wonder if Miss Ye really takes a fancy to you!" Xiao Chen teased him.
Mo Fei shrugged. "I was thinking, that is really a gangster shop! Fifty percent off and they should still be able to earn some. How many star crystals have they earned from me before?"
