Chapter 139: Cooperation with Langya Auction House
In the VIP room, Qin Bei, who was waiting, saw a staff member come back after leaving, carrying a tray with a Qiankun bag adorned with runes.
Hiss~
“Is this a Qiankun bag of the immortal grade? Just looking at it, it’s already way nicer than the low-end stuff I have!”
Qin Bei couldn’t help but pick up the Qiankun bag from the tray and examine it closely.
He then took a peek inside its space.
Sure enough, he discovered a faint aura of spiritual energy, and the size was nothing short of impressive.
A tiny world!
It was many times larger than the ordinary Qiankun bag hanging from his waist.
“Prince Bei, this is what Lord Wanchang, the deputy general manager, approved to lend to you. This is the first time our business has conducted a transaction in this manner, so we hope you can keep your promise and return it within seven days,” the staff member gently reminded him.
“Don’t worry, I keep my promises. I’ll leave this spirit seal with you for now.”
Saying that, Qin Bei handed over his spirit seal to the staff member.
Originally, the business regulations would allow a credit system, where the seal would be returned after paying off the spirit stones.
However, this time it was a loan. As long as Qin Bei returns the Qiankun bag within seven days, the business would return the spirit seal to him.
“Take care, Prince Bei.”
The staff member bowed respectfully.
Qin Bei nodded and left, but just as he was about to step out, he turned back and grinned at the staff, “No need to be so stiff around me! Don’t listen to those ridiculous rumors outside. I’m actually very reasonable, not arrogant at all. So please, relax! You’re making me look like a cannibal!”
With that, Qin Bei left in a stylish manner, leaving the staff member dumbfounded on the spot.
……
After exiting the Royal Merchant, Qin Bei glanced at his system panel and saw that he still had zero kryptonite points remaining, realizing that this kind of borrowing didn’t count as consumption.
Even if he grabbed a ground-grade Qiankun bag directly, the system likely wouldn’t register any kryptonite points, as the credit system wouldn’t account for it.
But Qin Bei shrugged it off; as long as he succeeded this time, he would definitely turn his life around.
On the street, he swung the immortal Qiankun bag around while making his way to the Langya Auction House.
This time, he planned to make a big splash.
Since Emperor Xia was so shameless, always scheming to cut down his allocation of spirit stones,
he thought he might as well make sure his cheap father bled a little this time around.
As for that gang at the Ministry of Revenue, especially the Minister of Revenue? He wouldn’t let a single one escape when he found the time!
However, Qin Bei’s most important goal right now was to gather a large number of spirit stones and enter the Imperial Tomb Trial.
Qin Bei was no fool, just a loud mouth.
He knew the source of his arrogance. If he didn’t grasp the “Void Sutra” while in the tomb this time, let alone keeping up his current bravado, just being able to survive as a prince without being targeted would be a victory.
So, cultivation was the foundation.
And to cultivate, it was only reasonable to stir up some trouble!
At least Qin Bei always felt that he was making waves for the sake of cultivation, even if others saw him as just another arrogant brat relying on talent and status…
……
Qin Bei soon arrived at the Langya Auction House.
He was greeted again by the star of Langya Auction House, Fei Fei!
Inside the VIP room.
Qin Bei sat across from Fei Fei.
Fei Fei poured a cup of tea for Qin Bei herself, gently sliding the teacup toward him with her delicate hands, her beautiful eyes studying him.
“Prince Bei, you’ve been quite the hotshot lately! Thanks to you, many cultivators are flocking to our auction house to buy monsters, and the price of the Golden Lion King has skyrocketed by fifty percent.”
Fei Fei smiled as she said this.
“Huh?”
Qin Bei was taken aback, “But I didn’t do anything!”
Fei Fei chuckled and replied, “But your exploits have become the talk of the town! Who doesn’t know you spent a fortune on two Golden Lion Kings for guarding? Only to have them snatched away by the Ministry of Revenue in the end?”
Qin Bei:…
Damn it! Why do they have to keep bringing this up at every turn…
“Then what does it matter if your auction house sold them? I’m not your spokesperson.”
Qin Bei asked, puzzled.
“Spokesperson?” Fei Fei murmured, not grasping the term Qin Bei used.
“It means being the ambassador for your auction house. It’s kind of like you—your beauty represents the auction house’s image,” Qin Bei explained casually.
“Oh~ I see. But even though Prince Bei didn’t help us promote the auction house, everyone’s still aware that they want to test out what kind of treatment the so-called arrogant Prince Bei couldn’t even enjoy, so they’re also eager to experience it…”
Qin Bei:…
Really? So they’re all just trying to get under my skin on purpose?
Huff~ Qin Bei took a deep breath and then said, “Since I’ve inadvertently helped your auction house, I have a small favor to ask. I believe a beautiful, kind, and generous lady like you, Fei Fei, wouldn’t refuse, right?”
Qin Bei said with a grin.
That expression made Fei Fei want to cover up her exposed attire…
Fei Fei nodded earnestly and said, “Well… as long as it’s reasonable, of course, it can be done. Not only has Prince Bei helped our auction house, but you’re also the owner of our auction house’s Tianzihao. Have you forgotten? Even though you currently have no spirit stones and your source of spirit stones has been cut off, you can still enjoy the privileges of Tianzihao. And with your quick breakthrough to the Golden Core realm, your credit limit has reached two million spirit stones. If you still want two Golden Lion Kings, the auction house could consider it.”
Qin Bei:…
Is he supposed to wrestle with the Golden Lion King or something?
“I don’t want any Golden Lion Kings! I came here to discuss a business partnership.”
“Cooperation?”
Fei Fei frowned, puzzled.
Though Qin Bei was a Three Seal Prince, he was still just in the Golden Core realm. What could he possibly offer for cooperation?
She was a bit confused.
But that didn’t stop her from wanting to hear what Qin Bei had to say.
