Invincible Over the World
Chapter 657 - 657 654 Can't Afford

657: Chapter 654: Can’t Afford 657: Chapter 654: Can’t Afford “Let’s go to Yuanping Street!” Walking on the streets of Xuanwu City, my sister Huang Min suggested excitedly.

Having stayed in Xuanwu City for a while, everyone was quite familiar with it.

Yuanping Street was the busiest street in the central area of Xuanwu City, combining shops, entertainment, and restaurants in one place.

Of course, the shops were the largest on the Cloud Sea Continent, the restaurants were the biggest, and the entertainment venues were the highest-class.

Naturally, it was also the street with the highest cost of consumption.

Huang Min’s suggestion was met with agreement from everyone.

So, the group set off towards Yuanping Street.

Since they had agreed to meet only the next day, Huang Xiaolong and Xie Puti also accompanied the group.

As for Elder Sheng Yue, the old man was laughing and talking with the group, seemingly like an elder among them.

However, he still wore his somewhat worn clothes, which made him look somewhat out of place amidst the group.

Upon arriving at Yuanping Street, the first thing the ladies wanted to visit was naturally the various shops.

The first shop the ladies entered specialized in all kinds of jewelry; of course, these weren’t ordinary items but were fashioned from rare spiritual stones, gemstones, and fine iron found in the Star River.

Wearing them could nourish one’s body and protect against evil and demons.

Some of the high-level items even had high-level Arrays engraved on them, so in case of confrontation, the wearer could activate the Arrays to fend off attacks.

There were even some treasures with Attack Arrays for offensive use.

Since the Huang Family members were from the Holy Domain and Huang Xiaolong had concealed his aura, while Elder Sheng Yue was dressed like a beggar, the attendants in the shop just glanced at them and lost interest, naturally not bothering to introduce the various jewelry pieces’ functions and powers to the ladies.

Inside the shop, some family noblewomen shopping for jewelry cast disdainful and disgusted looks at Huang Xiaolong and the others.

In the eyes of these noblewomen, low-level Holy Domain and the most lowly servants were no different.

“Who knows from which family this bunch of servants came!” muttered a well-dressed middle-aged noblewoman.

Although her voice was soft, everyone in the Great Hall heard it clearly.

Huang Xiaolong and the Huang Family members raised their eyebrows.

At that moment, the middle-aged noblewoman pointed at a phoenix hairpin and asked, “Waiter, how much for that hairpin?”

Immediately, a waiter came forward with a respectful smile and said, “Lady Wen Ting has great taste.

This phoenix hairpin just arrived in our store yesterday.

It is crafted from extremely rare Heavenly Origin Stones and Red Star Stones from the Star River, as well as many types of gentle fine iron from the Divine World.

It not only has two defensive Arrays but also an Attack Array.

The price is ten thousand Top-grade Heavenly Spirit Stones!

Since Lady Wen Ting is a regular customer of ours, we can make it nine thousand five hundred.”

One Top-grade Heavenly Spirit Stone was worth more than twenty thousand Xuanwu Coins.

Ten thousand stones would therefore be over two hundred million!

Lady Wen Ting was startled upon hearing this, for although her status was not low, two hundred million Xuanwu Coins was a sky-high price for her.

She laughed and said, “I was just asking casually.

My family already has one such hairpin, buying another would be a waste.”

However, everyone could tell that her words were just a facade, and it was clear what the truth was.

Nevertheless, the waiter continued to laugh along, saying, “Of course, of course.”

At this time, Huang Min looked towards Huang Xiaolong, who understood his sister’s intent and nodded.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong’s approval, Huang Min pinched her throat and called out, “What?

This phoenix hairpin is only ten thousand Top-grade Heavenly Spirit Stones?

Waiter, wrap it up for me, I’ll buy it.”

The shop immediately fell silent.

Zhuo Wenting suddenly let out a delicate laugh, her face full of mockery as she looked at Huang Min, “My dear maid, do you even know what a Heavenly-grade top-level spiritual stone is?

Heavenly-grade top-level spiritual stones are not Xuanwu Coins.

Listen carefully, it’s ten thousand Heavenly-grade top-level spiritual stones, not ten thousand Xuanwu Coins!

Let alone ten thousand Heavenly Grade Top Spiritual Stones, I bet you can’t even bring out one!”

The noble ladies around her shook their heads and laughed too.

Clearly, they didn’t believe Huang Min could really take out ten thousand Heavenly-grade top-level spiritual stones, and some even doubted whether Huang Min and the others could come up with ten thousand Xuanwu Coins.

Hearing this, Huang Min let out a cold laugh, “Just because you’re poor and can’t afford it, it doesn’t mean others can’t.

Pretending to be rich without a penny to your name, what a joke.”

Huang Xiaohai, Guo Xiaofan, Huang Xiaoyong, Xie Puti, and others also echoed with cheers.

Everyone had long found this woman unbearable.

Elder Sheng Yue was clapping vigorously, shouting, “That’s right, you poor woman, if you don’t have money, what are you pretending for?

If you’re broke, just scram and don’t block us from shopping!”

His manner was entirely devoid of the demeanor expected from an elder.

Huang Xiaolong gave a wry smile.

Zhuo Wenting, with anger, pointed at everyone, “You, you all!

You’re infuriating me!” At this, she turned and shouted at the waiter, “These servants who’ve popped out of nowhere are clearly here to cause trouble.

Aren’t you going to throw them out for me?”

The waiters around hesitated for a moment, then started walking towards Huang Xiaolong and his group.

After all, Zhuo Wenting was a regular customer of their shop, and they didn’t believe Huang Xiaolong and his companions would really bring out ten thousand Heavenly-grade top-level spiritual stones.

Of course, no matter how strong the backing of a bunch of Holy Domain experts, it wasn’t that significant.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please leave now and stop disturbing our customers,” a waiter who seemed to be the supervisor said to Huang Xiaolong and his group.

However, at that moment, Zhuo Wenting called out again, “Don’t ask them to leave, they should be thrown out!”

The waiters began to hesitate.

Just then, Huang Xiaolong said with a cold laugh, “Asking us to leave?

Saying we’re disturbing your customers?” With that, he waved his hand, and instantly countless spirit stones rained down from the sky like a storm.

The floor of the Great Hall was bombarded with spirit stones, clanging loudly, making everyone wonder if the barrage would create holes in the ground.

The rain of spirit stones only stopped after a while.

The entire shop seemed to be bathing in the vast ocean of spiritual energy.

The surrounding family disciples and noble ladies watched in stunned silence as the mountainous pile of Heavenly Grade Spirit Stones grew before their eyes.

How many were there?

A million?

Ten million?!

Moreover, everyone noticed that these spirit stones were all of the Top Level of Heavenly Grade!

Zhuo Wenting’s face was a picture of shock, and the waiters were equally astounded.

At this moment, a flurry of footsteps came from the back hall, and a middle-aged man who looked like a steward hurried out.

The thunderous rain of spirit stones had obviously disturbed him.

As he emerged, he saw the pile that probably amounted to ten million Top-grade Heavenly Spirit Stones and nearly stumbled, nearly falling over in front of the mountain of spirit stones.

Even with his extensive experience, he was quite shaken.

Ten million Top Grade Heavenly Spirit Stones, how much was that worth in Xuanwu Coins?

Over two hundred billion!

He forcibly withdrew his gaze from the pile of spirit stones, surveyed the scene, and then his eyes fell on Huang Xiaolong.

He hurried over and said respectfully with a smile, “May I know how to address this young master?”

Huang Xiaolong’s expression was indifferent, “Just now my sister wanted to buy that phoenix hairpin, but your waiters intended to throw us out, thinking we couldn’t afford it.

Are these ten million heavenly-grade top-level spiritual stones not enough to pay for it?” (To be continued.
