107: Chapter 107 How utterly embarrassing!
The three of them simultaneously looked at the purple Storage Pouch on the stall, then walked over together.
The stall owner was a fierce-looking one-eyed man, a Cultivator at the ninth layer of Qi Refining. At first, seeing Qin Lulu and the other two, he was attracted by Qin Lulu's beautiful and sexy appearance and licked his lips. However, as soon as he sensed Qin Lulu's Foundation Establishment Realm aura, he immediately retracted his lecherous gaze and put on an honest facade: "Three bosses, do you need a Storage Pouch?"
Su Fan pointed to the purple Thousand Ox Pouch: "How much is this Storage Pouch?"
"Two million!"
The stall owner held up two fingers.
Su Fan was stunned. Those Hundred Ox Pouches earlier were only a little over a hundred thousand, but he didn't expect this Thousand Ox Pouch to cost two million. The key was that he didn't have two million on him right now...
His previous bonus, plus the one million Qin Xiaoxiao gave him, amounted to just over a million. He thought he was quite rich; after all, compared to those delivery guys and factory workers, he was indeed a bit wealthier. But who knew, he couldn't even afford a Storage Pouch!
Seeing Su Fan lost in thought, Qin Xiaoxiao said to the stall owner without hesitation: "Okay, two million it is. I'll buy it!"
At this moment, Qin Lulu reached out and stopped Qin Xiaoxiao.
"Don't rush, Xiaoxiao. This thing isn't worth two million."
The stall owner stared at Qin Lulu with an unwilling expression and shouted: "Then how much do you say it's worth?"
"I'll give you a maximum of one million!"
"Beauty, this... no, one point eight million!"
"I'll only say it once, just one million!"
As she said this, Qin Lulu's expression darkened, her eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a hint of threat.
"One million... I won't sell it."
The one-eyed stall owner muttered.
After all, he had risked his life to snatch this item in the wild. One million wouldn't even clear his gambling debts, so how could he sell it at that price?
Who knew Qin Lulu would directly reach out and snatch the Storage Pouch, then look at him and sneer: "If you don't sell it, then die!"
"You... threatening me?"
Cheng Tianba widened his remaining eye, his face full of menace: "Do you know who owns this Underground Black Market? I've paid protection fees. Do you think you can threaten me just because you're in the Foundation Establishment Realm?"
Qin Lulu chuckled, then pulled out a rose gold token from her person. On the token was an exquisitely carved pattern of a rose and a sword crossing.
Cheng Tianba saw the token and was immediately scared stiff: "You are... you are...?"
"Shh, don't say it."
Qin Lulu's smile was charming yet dangerous; at this moment, she was like a rose with thorns.
Cheng Tianba was astonished for a moment, then immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "This humble one was blind, this humble one was blind! This Storage Pouch, this humble one is willing to gift it to you!"
"Enough, I don't care for gifts from low-class people like you. I said one million, and it's one million. Here's the check, take it!"
Qin Lulu handed Cheng Tianba a check for one million, then picked up the Storage Pouch and gave it to Su Fan.
Su Fan took it, smiling slightly: "Thank you, Sis. I'll pay you back later."
"Pay back what? Why are we talking like strangers when we're family?"
Qin Lulu playfully glared at him with a smile.
Then, the three of them left the stall together.
Cheng Tianba stood rooted to the spot, clutching the check, still looking shaken as he watched the three figures walk away into the distance...
After putting away the purple Storage Pouch, Su Fan slowly followed behind the two sisters, feeling quite puzzled by what had just happened.
Why did the stall owner call himself "this humble one" and offer to give Qin Lulu the two-million-dollar Storage Pouch as soon as she showed that rose gold token?
Just how many secrets did Qin Lulu hide?
As he was thinking these thoughts, Qin Lulu suddenly turned back and smiled at him: "Want to go to the auction house?"
Su Fan was taken aback, then smiled: "I don't mind, do you two want to go?"
"Then let's not go, there's nothing good there anyway."
Qin Lulu said, then whispered to Qin Xiaoxiao: "My brother-in-law, he's good in every way, except his personality is a bit introverted..."
"Sis, he has social anxiety and doesn't like interacting with people."
Qin Xiaoxiao also leaned close to Qin Lulu's ear and whispered: "But I like this about him. He doesn't flirt, isn't that good?"
"Mm, hehehehe..."
Qin Lulu hummed meaningfully.
Then, she let out a burst of bell-like laughter, shaking with mirth.
After wandering around for a while longer, Qin Lulu led Su Fan and Xiaoxiao, turning left and right, until they reached an underground elevator. The three of them took the elevator up...
Unexpectedly, they emerged directly onto the ground level, next to an unassuming office building.
Su Fan hadn't expected Qin Lulu to be so familiar with this place, as if it were her own home. He couldn't help but become even more curious about the secrets she held.
"Let's go, I'll take you back."
With a wave of Qin Lulu's hand, someone drove over in a Rolls-Royce Phantom. The earlier Maybach had already been driven back to the Xiao Family Manor.
"Sis, thank you for your help. It's still early, why don't we have dinner together?"
Out of gratitude, Su Fan sincerely wanted to treat Qin Lulu to a meal.
Qin Lulu, however, smiled and pointed at him, saying to Qin Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, look at my brother-in-law. He's not very thoughtful. Who repays a favor so eagerly?"
Qin Xiaoxiao linked her arm through hers, pouting: "Sis, today is Su-su's promotion day. We'll treat you to dinner together as a celebration, okay?"
"Promotion?"
"That's right, Su-su has been promoted to Deputy Director, hehe, isn't he amazing?"
Qin Xiaoxiao's face was beaming, as if she were the happiest woman in the world.
Hearing this, Qin Lulu re-examined Su Fan, sizing him up with eyes full of appreciation, and nodded her head: "My brother-in-law is indeed extraordinary..."
"Alright, Sis, let's go, time for dinner..."
After the three of them finished dinner at the restaurant, Qin Lulu personally drove Su Fan and Xiaoxiao back to the resettlement housing in the Rolls-Royce.
Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to see the Mecha Lightning Sable Su Fan kept at home, and Qin Lulu also wanted to go inside and take a look, so the two sisters came to Su Fan's home together.
Qin Lulu observed the surroundings, lamenting that the buildings here were too short, too close together, with poor lighting, which would make people feel depressed. She even said that if she had to live in such a place, she would go crazy...
Qin Xiaoxiao also followed up with a pained expression: "I don't know how Su-su managed to live before. The first time I came here, I was also shocked..."
After entering the room, Qin Lulu sat on the small sofa, while Qin Xiaoxiao went to the bathroom to lead out the Lightning Sable and feed it carrots.
"Squeak, squeak..."
The Lightning Sable wrinkled its nose, took a few sniffs, then walked to the side and rubbed against Su Fan's pant leg.
"It doesn't eat carrots; it's a carnivore."
Su Fan told Qin Xiaoxiao.
Qin Xiaoxiao inexplicably found it amusing but still insisted on feeding it carrots.
Qin Lulu said: "Xiaoxiao, didn't I give you the property rights to Villa No. 1 in the Jianhu Villa District? Why haven't you taken Su Fan to live there yet?"
"Oh, Sis, don't even mention it. Dad took it back. He doesn't agree with Su-su and me being together."
"It's alright. Now that Su-su... ah, no, my brother-in-law, now that my brother-in-law is a Deputy Director, he's considered a prominent figure in all of Nandu. I'm sure Mom and Dad's attitude will change. Don't worry, I'll go talk to them for you."
"Sis, you're so good, hug!"
"Oh, you child... you're so lucky to have such a good boyfriend and such a good sister like me. If I were you, I'd be crying tears of joy!"
"Sis, are you praising me or yourself...?"
"Hehehehe!"
The happy laughter of the two sisters echoed in the small room.
Qin Lulu left after sitting for a while.
As soon as she left, Qin Xiaoxiao gazed at Su Fan with a mischievous smile: "Su... Su... hotel room?"
...
After Qin Lulu drove the Rolls-Royce back to the Xiao Family Manor, she immediately switched to a decisive expression as she got out of the car, pulling out her phone to make a call.
"Hello, where's the ring?"
"What ring?"
"The ring you took from Xiao Chen, shouldn't it be mine now?"
"There's no ring. When I caught Xiao Chen, I searched him all over and didn't find any ring... Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore, I have official business."
The call was hung up. Qin Lulu gritted her teeth and cursed, "Damn it!" A fierce murderous intent flashed in her eyes...
Meanwhile.
In a dark alley somewhere, a tall man dressed in black, wearing a black cloak and a Joker's smiling face mask from the movie 'V for Vendetta', dragged a corpse and threw it into a ditch...
"How embarrassing!"
After throwing the corpse down, a cackling laugh suddenly came from beneath the mask: "The sixty-eighth... hehe, I'm almost at the Middle Stage of Golden Core!"
