Chapter 29: The Blinded Scion, Is This Something You Can Steal?

Wang Teng's appearance was like a giant rock thrown into a pond, stirring up ripples of malice.

The surrounding stall owners and customers, seeing the flame emblem on his chest, instinctively took half a step back, their eyes revealing apprehension and schadenfreude.

They looked at Lin Qingzhi with sympathy.

In Jiang City, if this little tyrant of the Wang family took a liking to something, whether it was a person or an object, there was only one outcome.

"Oh, and a top-tier beauty at that."

Wang Teng's gaze shamelessly swept back and forth across Lin Qingzhi's curves, his greed undisguised.

He licked his lips, revealing a smile he thought was handsome, then pulled out a card from his pocket and threw it onto the stall.

"Old man, I want this stone, along with all your junk. There's a hundred thousand in the card, password six eights."

After speaking, he turned to Lin Qingzhi and said in a condescending tone, "Beauty, just arrived in Jiang City, right? Don't understand the rules? No worries, I'm in a good mood today, I can teach you. Come with me, and in Jiang City, I'll ensure you live a life of luxury."

A goatee-bearded appraiser beside him immediately leaned in and whispered, "Young Master, I've examined that stone. Its energy is weak; it seems to be aabandoned mine (waste ore). Isn't a hundred thousand too much..."

Wang Teng impatiently waved his hand and said in a very low voice, "What do you know! The drunkard's intention is not in the wine! What I'm interested in is this girl! First, stun her with money, then slowly 'process' her! Such a prime specimen, if I don't get her, I won't be able to sleep tonight!"

Their conversation, though extremely quiet.

Under my Vibration Perception ability, it was as clear as if they were loudly conspiring right next to my ear.

My heart burned with anger.

Coveting my long-term meal ticket?

You're asking for death!

However, Lin Qingzhi's reaction was completely beyond my expectation.

She seemed to not hear Wang Teng at all, not even bothering to glance at him.

Her gaze remained fixed on the 'Spirit-Spirit Stone (Nurturing Stone)', a trace of extremely professional light flashing in her phoenix eyes.

She extended her jade finger, lightly tapped the stone, then addressed the stunned old stall owner in a tone even colder and more disdainful than before:

"Boss, I've taken a closer look. This stone of yours is nothing but waste material."

"Firstly, the stone quality is loose, and spiritual energy dissipation is severe, which is a major taboo."

"Secondly, it contains impurities and is turbid in color, indicating contamination by Earth Fiend Qi."

"Thirdly," she pointed to an extremely hidden crack, "internal damage has reached the marrow, and its spirituality is lost. Forget ten thousand, a hundred yuan is me pitying your old age and giving you hard-earned money."

Her words were well-reasoned, clear, and filled with unquestionable authority.

For a moment, not only the old stall owner, but even Wang Teng and the goatee-bearded man beside him were dumbfounded.

I, too, was utterly impressed.

Brilliant! Truly brilliant!

It was clearly a treasure I had just discovered, but with her string of nonsense, she had forcefully made it out to be worthless trash!

The purpose of this maneuver was not to haggle over price at all.

But to conduct the most exquisite... psychological warfare!

She was using this method to declare to Wang Teng—

You, in my eyes, are not even worth a fart.

I don't even have the interest to speak to you.

Sure enough, Wang Teng's expression instantly changed.

He could not tolerate... being ignored!

Especially by a stunning beauty he had taken a liking to, and to be blatantly ignored in front of so many people!

His pathetic self-esteem was completely crushed.

"Bitch! How dare you ignore me?!"

Wang Teng's face turned liver-colored, and he roared ferociously, "You ungrateful wretch! If you can walk out of this black market today, I'll write my name Wang Teng backwards!"

He violently waved his hand, issuing a command.

"Go! Seize that worthless stone, and this girl, for me!"

The two Late Stage Essence Rank bodyguards' eyes flashed with fierce light, ready to act.

"Stop!"

A cold reprimand came. Two black market guards wearing black iron masks and wielding electric stun batons appeared before them like specters.

One of the guards said in a voice like grinding metal, "Young Master Wang, the black market has its rules. All disputes must be resolved in 'that place.' Otherwise, it means becoming an enemy of the entire black market."

Young Master Wang, the black market has its rules. All disputes must be resolved in 'that place.' Otherwise, it means becoming an enemy of the entire black market.

Wang Teng's face alternated between green and pale.

He glared intensely at Lin Qingzhi, squeezing out a few words through gritted teeth: "Good! Very good! Then we'll go to 'that place' and have some fun!"

He turned to Lin Qingzhi, a cruel, sneering smile returning to his face.

"Beauty, dare you come to the arena with me for a round? The loser will not only forfeit this stone but also... lose a hand!"

He deliberately made his words extremely bloody, hoping to scare this seemingly delicate girl.

In his opinion, an ordinary female student hearing such words would have long since been scared into kneeling and begging for mercy.

However, Lin Qingzhi's reaction once again disappointed him.

She merely glanced at him indifferently.

Her gaze was like looking at a... maggot futilely writhing on the ground.

Then, in her clear, melodious, yet slightly impatient tone, she slowly uttered two words.

"Fine."
