Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 837 - 838: Turmoil

Xiao Tianyu's words were met with disdain in everyone's hearts. How could he so casually point to a stone and claim there was a top-grade gem inside? Such a joke! Did he think he had X-ray vision? How could that be? That's something only found in novels.

Moreover, only protagonists in novels have such an aura. Does he really think this is a novel?

To make matters worse, the stone Xiao Tianyu pointed to was extremely ugly, one that many people passed over without choosing. Yet Xiao Tianyu had the nerve to claim it housed a top-grade gem. How absurd!

At this moment, even Gu Hao and Wu Cheng's eyes flashed with a trace of contemptuous smile. What a clueless guy, and really, what do those goddesses see in him?

Arrogance, perhaps?

"Tianyu!" At this moment, Lu Die'Er's beautiful eyes flickered, "Are you sure there's a top-grade gem inside?"

"You can choose not to believe!" Xiao Tianyu shrugged with a nonchalant attitude, ignoring the disdainful gazes around him like they were fools.

Upon hearing this, Lu Die'Er's eyes flickered again. Clearly, she was deciding whether to trust Xiao Tianyu. But considering how impressive he was, she chose to believe him—what if he really had X-ray vision?

So, she moved towards the stone with graceful, lotus-like steps.

But Xiao Ziyan tugged at Lu Die'Er's sleeve seriously, "Die'Er sister, you really don't think my second brother, do you?"

"Might as well give it a try. It's so ugly, it can't be expensive!"

"But you can't waste money like that!" Xiao Ziyan kept advising, "The stone next to it looks quite nice; I think it's more likely to have a gem!"

"A good-looking stone must be expensive. I don't have that much money, so I think I'll go with Tianyu's choice!" Lu Die'Er, ignoring the advice, continued towards the ugly stone.

Soon a salesperson stepped forward and gently said to Lu Die'Er, "Miss, I suggest you don't buy this one. Let me recommend a few for you?"

"No need!" Lu Die'Er looked at the salesperson and said, "I just want this one. How much is it?"

"Alright, just a hundred thousand then!" The salesperson showed a look of helplessness, thinking she didn't recognize a good suggestion.

"Deal!" said Lu Die'Er.

"Card or cash?"

"Card!" With that, Lu Die'Er took out a bank card used throughout the Ancient Martial Realm and handed it to the salesperson. After swiping the card, the salesperson instructed the stone-cutter, "Open this raw stone."

"Okay!" The cutter responded with a shout.

"Hold on!" Suddenly, a voice came, drawing the crowd's attention. They saw Wu Cheng striding over. The salesperson promptly greeted him respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Wu!"

However, Wu Cheng ignored him, retaining a slightly arrogant gaze, something not unexpected since someone of his status wouldn't care about a mere salesperson.

Then Wu Cheng smiled politely at Lu Die'Er with a gentlemanly demeanor.

He said, "Miss, I'm Wu Cheng from the Wu family!"

"Do you need something?"

Lu Die'Er's voice was icy, like laced with mountain chill. Despite Wu Cheng's elegant demeanor, she could see the wicked intent in his eyes; thus, she felt immediate dislike upon seeing him.

Huh?

Wu Cheng responded in slight astonishment, "Does the lady not know me?"

"I don't know you!" Lu Die'Er's voice remained frosty, disappointing Wu Cheng a bit. Did this goddess seriously not know him, the eldest son of the Wu family? Isn't that quite a blow to his face?

Despite these thoughts, Wu Cheng didn't say them out loud. "The stone your friend pointed out is a waste rock with nothing in it. How about this, with my years of experience, I can recommend one for you?"

Now, many gazes showed interest—apparently, Wu Cheng was interested in that goddess and wanted to impress her, which was understandable given her beauty. Wu Cheng, known for his lecherous nature, wouldn't pass up this opportunity.

Many thought silently that this goddess might end up as Wu Cheng's plaything.

However, Lu Die'Er coldly replied, "Not interested!"

Rejected?

How ungrateful.

Wu Cheng was briefly stunned, then the evil intent in his eyes became undisguised, landing directly on Lu Die'Er's ample chest, intensifying her disgust further.

"Miss, this stone?" the cutter asked.

"Continue cutting!" After a cold snort, Lu Die'Er looked at Wu Cheng and coldly said, "Where are your eyes looking?"

"Of course, I'm looking at your chest. Where else?" Wu Cheng made no attempt to hide his gaze, his wickedness growing stronger, earning silent scorn from many around, thinking he really didn't understand propriety.

Wu Cheng continued, "It must be a 34D, maybe even close to 36D. Tsk tsk, such a voluptuous beauty, I like..."

"You bastard!" Lu Die'Er's face reddened with anger, looking even more alluring, which deepened Wu Cheng's perverse gleam. "Why don't you come with me? I won't treat you poorly. As for that guy, just dump him!"

"A toad lusting after a swan!" At this moment, Xiao Ziyan scoffed, "Have you even looked in the mirror lately? You have the nerve to meet people looking like that!"

What kind of situation is this?

Whoosh whoosh~

With the words spoken, many eyes were instantly drawn to Xiao Ziyan. Who was this young girl, daring to speak to Wu Cheng like that? Was she not afraid that Wu Cheng might punish her right there?

It seemed Wu Cheng was probably vexed at missing the chance to flirt with these goddesses. This young girl's outburst gave Wu Cheng a perfect excuse.

Indeed, Wu Cheng's gaze shifted, scanning Xiao Ziyan, "Though not fully developed, there's already a distinct femininity. Looks like today I'll really get some cheap benefits from the second one, plus those two beside her, tsk tsk, they're heavenly beauties. My luck today is exceptional!"

This statement was extremely insulting, blatantly ignoring Xiao Tianyu on the side.

"A top-grade gem?" At that moment, an astonished voice echoed.

"Oh my God, that broken stone really revealed a top-grade gem. Is this true?"

"If I'd known, I would have chosen that stone!"

"..."

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

At that instant, many people looked over, seeing the stone's intense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, which was indeed the energy emitted by a top-grade gem.

Moreover, now the entire stone market seemed enveloped by the blue light radiating from the gem, enchanting and dazzling.
