Chapter 251
251~ Double-Cross?~
"What on earth is going on......"
The Little Princess pinched herself hard. There was pain. She shouldn't be in a dream, but why could she return to modern times after sleeping?
That wasn't even the main point. She was still wearing otherworld clothes right now!
The clothes had certain differences from modern times. They looked just like playing second dimension cosplay, and the accessories at Maid Xiao Xi's waist also became much more reasonable. At most, they would just be regarded as props by others.
But none of that mattered. The most important thing was that she had finally returned to the modern times she had been thinking about day and night!!!
"Xiao Xi! Let's go!"
The Little Princess excitedly grabbed Maid Xiao Xi's hand and was about to bring her to shuttle through this city.
"Wait a moment, Princess. Let's go back and get some things first......"
"Oh, right!"
Turning her head back, she suddenly discovered something. The Empress's bedroom had actually turned into a retro-style villa, and was built in this bustling downtown area.
That was good too. At least she didn't need to worry about lodging.
Having inexplicably returned to modern times, she had already cast all matters to the back of her mind. She only wanted to properly go look and see what this world had become during the time she wasn't here!
Oh! A phone! Right, this world's most important communication tool was the phone! With a phone, you could almost know astronomy above and geography below. Without a phone here, you couldn't move a single step!
The current goal was to hurry and get a phone!
But she had returned from another world. Where would she get money? Moreover, she was an illegal resident without any identity documents, much less getting money.
Pretty much screwed.
"So, Princess, what should we do next?"
"Uu......"
After thinking for a bit, the Little Princess beckoned Maid Xiao Xi to temporarily return to the Empress's bedroom first. They would first take some valuable things, then directly run to get some money, then get a phone. Otherwise, there was no way to keep up with this world's pace.
"Let's go."
Very quickly, she brought Maid Xiao Xi and ran to a somewhat secluded hardware store, and found the owner......
"I think we need a slightly more secluded place to chat."
The Little Princess, as if unintentionally, revealed a golden ornament hanging at her waist.
This should be considered the lowest grade luxury item in the Empress's bedroom, but here it should at least be exchangeable for over 100,000, right?
Constantly tugging at her skirt, trying hard to prevent the skirt from being pulled down by the weight of the gold, was really tiring!
"Ah......!"
The owner quickly reacted. He immediately invited the two into the exclusive VIP room to avoid being overheard by others.
"Miss, may I ask what you're planning to do when you come to our shop?"
Looking at the two people before him, he couldn't help but sigh. The two had angel-like appearances that deeply moved his heart. If possible, he absolutely had to find a wife like this in the future!
"Cough cough, please don't stare at Prin... Miss Mo."
Maid Xiao Xi warned from the side.
"Ah, sorry. It's because Miss Mo is really too beautiful, so I couldn't help but look for a while."
"No matter. Xiao Xi, you don't need to mind these things. It's human nature."
The Little Princess waved her hand, indicating that Maid Xiao Xi didn't need to be so agitated.
She only wanted money right now!
Moreover, this was modern times. She couldn't casually get into conflict with people. Otherwise, she would have to go in!
She knew Maid Xiao Xi had very high combat ability, but people here had modern technological equipment!
"I came this time planning to sell this accessory."
The Little Princess casually placed the pure gold ornament from her waist on the table and gently pushed it forward.
"Trouble you to appraise it."
As long as she had 100,000, that would be enough. 100,000 would let her hurry and get a phone, then connect to the network to see what the current situation in modern times actually was!
"This... please allow me to take it to weigh it before coming back."
The Little Princess had no objections. She only asked the owner to hurry. She still needed to rush back.
But before long, when the owner returned, he came back with a dark expression.
"Miss Mo, what do you mean by bringing a fake gold accessory over?"
"Fake?"
The Little Princess blinked.
How could it be fake? That was given to her by the Empress, crafted from pure gold. It was just that because it was too heavy later, she normally wouldn't wear it on her body.
As a result, after you went out for a bit, you tell me it's fake?
"Then where's my ornament?"
"Melted it."
Mo: "???"
What the hell? Melted it?
She instantly reacted. This owner was planning a double-cross! He directly swallowed her ornament!
"Then where's the stuff after melting it?"
"Threw it away. It's all some worthless metal. Does Miss Mo still think I would keep this kind of fake in my shop?"
"Hehe......"
The Little Princess laughed. She was laughing from anger. She didn't expect to encounter this kind of person just after returning to modern times. Great, very great!
"You say it's fake. I didn't see the process of you taking it to melt. How do I know if you're trying to swallow that ornament from me? Moreover, you directly melted it without my permission......"
"Didn't you want to sell it? To sell it, don't I need to melt it and weigh it? As a result, after melting it, it was simply fake gold!"
"Princess......"
After being pulled by Maid Xiao Xi behind her, she noticed Xiao Xi's hand had already rested on the sword at her waist......
Holy crap!
The Little Princess was so frightened she hurriedly held down Maid Xiao Xi's restless hand that was preparing to directly draw the sword and chop off this double-crossing profiteer's hand.
"Xiao Xi! Don't be impulsive!"
This was modern times! Casually killing people would really result in the death penalty!
"Tch......"
Daring to speak to the Princess like this, if she hadn't been held down, she would absolutely slash this owner with one sword strike.
After stopping Maid Xiao Xi, the Little Princess turned her head.
"Then you tell me, where did the gold after melting go?"
"That of course was directly thrown into the trash can outside!"
The owner said righteously.
"Then can you help us retrieve it? Just go pick it back up from the trash can. If you can't pick it back up, then you don't need to keep doing business here anymore."
As she spoke, the Little Princess's expression gradually darkened. At the same time, she once again "unintentionally" revealed the crystal necklace around her neck.
Any smart person would probably be able to realize that her identity might be an existence they couldn't afford to provoke. Although it was faked, the luxury items on her body were genuine.
Being able to wear so many luxury items on her body, in modern times, only those with quite substantial family backgrounds would do this, or nouveau riche.
And from the very beginning, she had maintained very elegant movements, sitting posture, and speech habits, the very picture of a wealthy young miss.
Having said this much, cold sweat finally began emerging on the owner's forehead......
He wasn't certain whether the "Miss Mo" before him was really a wealthy heiress, but judging from that ornament and the luxury items around her neck, these were absolutely not things ordinary people could possess!
As a jewelry shop owner who had played with jewelry for over ten years, he could determine at a glance that the crystal necklace around the Little Princess's neck was absolutely priceless! The kind that could buy his life!
