The shop was very dim.
There was no counter to be seen, only a rocking chair swaying.
All the goods were hung on the wall in a very simple manner.
Long swords, shields, and the like looked extremely old and not like valuable items.
Yet, they all emitted soul power fluctuations.
Zhu Zhuqing stopped and looked around for a moment, the corners of her lips slightly curved.
She walked straight towards her target.
It was a crystal the size of a human head.
It was transparent and not valuable, with large patches of cloudy material inside, making it look even cheaper.
It was hanging near the door.
"Is this a proper shop? Why don't they even turn on the lights?"
Xiao Wu stepped into the shop, smelling the dusty air, and couldn't help but frown.
Even the small shops in Notting City weren't like this.
Tang San, on the other hand, was very calm.
His home used to be messy and smelly, so this shop looked very tidy to him at first glance.
"Pu haha!"
Hearing the crisp laughter, Tang San looked at Xiao Wu in confusion.
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"
"No, nothing."
Xiao Wu shook her head repeatedly, covering her pink lips and trying to stifle her laughter, trying to be polite.
Tang San was a little confused.
He followed Xiao Wu's gaze and his eyelids twitched as he suddenly understood.
No wonder Xiao Wu couldn't help but laugh.
It turned out that the shopkeeper was too ugly, and ugly in a very unique way.
He looked to be in his fifties, but he was quite burly.
His appearance was somewhat comical.
He had a prominent chin, wide cheekbones, a flat, shoe-shaped face, and a slightly hooked nose.
He wore rigid black-rimmed glasses.
But no matter how you looked at him, he gave off a sense of slyness.
Even when someone came in to buy something, the shopkeeper kept his eyes closed.
The rocking chair under him creaked as he swayed.
Zhu Zhuqing ignored Xiao Wu and the others.
She took down the crystal and casually picked a passable dagger from the wall.
She walked forward and asked:
"How much for this crystal and dagger?"
Flander's eyelids twitched slightly.
He raised two fingers, his voice lazy, with a bit of magnetism and extremely hoarse.
"Not expensive, just two hundred gold soul coins."
"Can't you make it cheaper?"
Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained unchanged.
"Pay if you want to buy, leave if you don't."
Flander put down his hand and closed his eyes lazily again.
"…"
Zhu Zhuqing pursed her red lips, but instead showed a smile, as expected of a con man.
"Two hundred gold soul coins?!"
Hearing the price, Xiao Wu couldn't help but put her hands on her hips and shout at Flander!
"Hey! Are the things here really that valuable?"
"…"
No one paid attention to her.
Xiao Wu bit her silver teeth in anger.
Tang San smiled dryly and offered a way out.
"Xiao Wu… maybe these things are soul tools."
"Tch~"
Xiao Wu curled her lips in disdain and said softly:
"They're so tattered, you'd think he dug them out of a grave."
"Hehe."
Tang San stood beside her with a smile.
He could feel that the very distinctive shopkeeper was also a soul master.
Zhu Zhuqing ignored the noise and restrained her smile.
She asked again:
"How much is the dagger?"
"One hundred and fifty gold soul coins."
"Cheaper?"
"Pay if you want to buy, leave if you don't."
Flander raised his eyelids, glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, and remained leisurely.
But this time.
Zhu Zhuqing agreed directly.
"Okay, I'll take it!"
As soon as she finished speaking.
Flander instantly raised the price.
"Sorry, it's three hundred gold soul coins now."
Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment.
Then she took out a money bag, poured out some coins, turned her head and walked towards the door.
While hanging the things in her hand back on the wall.
She threw the money bag at Flander with her backhand.
Pa—
Flander didn't even lift his eyelids, catching the flying money bag in his hand.
A hint of triumph appeared on his ugly face.
Out of curiosity.
Tang San looked at Zhu Zhuqing.
His originally calm eyes showed shock, and then quickly suppressed it.
His heart was filled with tension.
That was a rutilated quartz!
No! Not just a rutilated quartz, but a top-grade platy rutilated quartz!
A look of excitement flashed in Tang San's eyes.
His purplish-blue face flushed slightly, showing how excited he was.
But at this time, the girl was holding the platy crystal in her arms.
Tang San forced himself to calm down, remaining inconspicuous, he couldn't appear too anxious.
He had heard the conversation just now.
She didn't want the crystal.
Tang San was overjoyed, it was simply heaven helping him!
But soon, Tang San couldn't laugh anymore, looking at Zhu Zhuqing's back in surprise and confusion.
He paused for a moment, then immediately came back to his senses.
"Wait!"
Tang San shouted and ran after Zhu Zhuqing.
Xiao Wu was startled and scolded:
"Hey! Tang Xiaosan?!"
At the same time.
Flander weighed the money bag twice, the triumph on his face disappeared and he frowned.
His eyes suddenly opened, leaving only Xiao Wu in the shop.
Only to see on the wall by the door.
Hanging was a dagger, while the crystal had already been taken away.
"Hehe…"
Flander was laughed at in anger.
He didn't expect that after being a con man for so long, he would be taught a lesson by a little girl.
"Isn't that idiot just a broken crystal!"
Xiao Wu muttered in confusion.
She raised her eyes to meet Flander's gaze and immediately fell silent, her body tense.
The dim environment coupled with that goblin-like ugly face.
It was really a bit creepy.
"Haha…"
Xiao Wu smiled awkwardly and backed away.
"That… I, I forgot to bring money, I'll go back and get the money right away!"
As soon as she finished speaking.
Xiao Wu turned around hurriedly and ran out of the shop as if fleeing.
"Hehe… interesting little fellows."
Flander looked outside the door.
His expression was full of interest, and a few sly glints flashed in his narrowed eyes.
"We will meet again…"
Shrek Academy was about to start.
Flander's intuition told him that these little fellows would all go.
————————
Outside the shop, on the street.
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly stopped.
Not because of Tang San's shout, but because the six-winged pendant in the ditch made a sound.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes showed confusion, but she didn't ask any more questions.
With a gentle smile on her face, she responded softly in her heart:
"Zhuqing obeys."
After saying that.
Zhu Zhuqing put the pendant back into the stream, just as she was about to leave.
An urgent voice came from behind her.
"Wait, wait!"
Zhu Zhuqing turned around and looked at the young man in front of her, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Something wrong?"
"Yes, yes…"
Tang San suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked politely:
"Miss, could you please return the crystal just now…"
"No!"
Before Tang San could finish speaking, Zhu Zhuqing refused directly.
Tang San was unwilling and said anxiously: "But you were clearly buying the dagger…"
Zhu Zhuqing's heart trembled and she was about to speak.
A beautiful figure attacked from behind Tang San, leaping up, flying and kicking, with a reprimand.
"Tang Xiaosan! Who told you to leave Sister Xiao Wu behind!"
Zhu Zhuqing immediately shifted a few steps.
Tang San turned around, his eyes only seeing an enlarged sole of a shoe, and explained in a panic:
"Xiao Wu? I… Ah!"
Poof!
Under Zhu Zhuqing's gaze.
The young man in front of her screamed, kicked in the face by the girl's flying kick.
He flew out and fell heavily on the street.
Wishing you all a happy life!
