There’s a Treasure Inside!
Chapter 457
Therefore, from the First Floor to the Third Floor, Little Lingling knew the identity of every ore within the raw stones, which meant Mo Jiuli was in no rush to purchase any.
She might as well treat it as a leisurely stroll and enjoy window-shopping…
“Eh?
Mom, buy that stone; there’s a treasure inside!” Little Lingling’s voice suddenly rang out.
“That one?” Mo Jiuli asked with a raised eyebrow.
“The white little stone to the front left of you, next to the one marked with 888!
There’s a treasure inside; buy it…” Little Lingling said excitedly.
With a slight lift of her eyebrow, Mo Jiuli was intrigued—anything that could excite Little Lingling so must indeed be a treasure.
She walked over and was just about to reach for it when a fair-skinned hand from the opposite side grabbed the raw stone in front of her…
Looking up, Mo Jiuli saw a pink-clad young lady protected by several Cultivators on the other side, holding a raw stone—it was the one she wanted, the one next to the one tagged with 888…
Chenxiang immediately took umbrage, looking at the lady across with dissatisfaction and said, “Do you not understand the rules?
Didn’t you see that my Lady had her eyes on that stone first?”
Before Mo Jiuli could tell Chenxiang to let it go, as it was not the stone she wanted, she heard the lady retort with sarcasm, “Heh—an over-the-hill harlot has no right to compete with this Lady for a raw stone.
Besides, the rules of the Stone Gambling Convention dictate that possession doesn’t go to the one who sees it first, but to the one who grabs it first, you uncultured Leopard!”
Upon hearing this, the faces of Chenxiang, Guyan, and the rest darkened immediately.
They didn’t care about the stolen stone, but the insult to their Lord was unforgivable…
At that moment, Liao Xiang, realizing there was conflict between Mo Jiuli’s group and the pink-clad young lady, quickly came over and whispered to Mo Jiuli, “Guest, she is the Eldest Lady of the Shui Clan from the Four Major Families.
Their Direct Lineage possesses a talent that allows them to discern whether a woman is a virgin.
It’s a well-known fact…”
Liao Xiang was also somewhat surprised by Mo Jiuli’s identity; although Mo Jiuli had slightly altered her appearance, she had not disguised herself as a middle-aged woman like Guyan and the others but was still a young woman of 20 years old…
Thus, Liao Xiang had assumed that Mo Jiuli was merely the Eldest Lady of some Family!
It was only after hearing the words of the Eldest Lady Shui did it seem that Mo Jiuli must actually be the Madam of that Family…
Mo Jiuli felt a bit surprised herself upon hearing this.
She had not expected such a talent to exist and it certainly piqued her curiosity!
However, she never intended to pass herself off as an unmarried young girl, okay?
She had Baobao, and that was the most proud thing of her life; she didn’t feel ashamed at all…
“Look here, Auntie, our Lady has a daughter—what does that have to do with you?
Over-the-hill harlot?
Are you suggesting that all women with children are harlots?” Chenxiang asked, puzzled, as he stared at the pink-clad lady.
Instantly, countless unfriendly looks turned towards the pink-clad lady, for there were many people on the Third Floor who had brought their female companions, and several of them were middle-aged women…
At this moment, upon hearing Chenxiang’s words, they naturally felt very offended by what the pink-clad lady had said!
“Hmph, I wasn’t talking about anyone else.
The Great Elder said she’s only 20 years old; how could she possibly have a daughter?
She’s clearly nothing but an undisciplined harlot!” the pink-clad lady retorted angrily…
