212: Debt collection

The sales assistant didn't even look up; he assumed that when Gu Xiaoyue said she wanted to sell a lot, it was just ten or eight at most.

"Fifty. Would two hundred and eighty thousand star coins each work?"

After Gu Xiaoyue stated the quantity, the sales assistant almost collapsed from shock.

"H-how many?"

"Fifty."

This quantity and price were not something the sales assistant could decide, so he asked Gu Xiaoyue to wait a moment while he went to find the manager.

"You're saying a young girl wants to sell fifty mature Tier 3 beast corpses all at once?"

Manager Ba Te was so shocked he jumped straight up from his chair; in all his years working at Lianhe Supermarket, he had never encountered an order like this.

He hurried over to Gu Xiaoyue, adjusted his glasses while looking her up and down, and occasionally cast glances at White Gaze.

Gu Xiaoyue gave a light cough, reminding him that properly discussing business was what mattered.

After some haggling, they finally agreed on a price of two hundred and forty thousand star coins each.

Manager Ba Te led Gu Xiaoyue and White Gaze to the basement warehouse.

He still didn't quite believe that Gu Xiaoyue could produce so many beast corpses at once.

If she was just playing games with him, the security guards around the basement weren't pushovers!

Gu Xiaoyue naturally felt the unfriendly gazes around her, but she didn't mind.

Her body had fully recovered; never mind these few security guards, even if two more squads of soldiers came, she could still retreat unscathed.

Manager Ba Te pointed to the open space in the warehouse, signaling to Gu Xiaoyue that she could place the beast corpses there.

"This space might not be big enough."

Manager Ba Te had no concept of the space required for fifty mature Tier 3 beast corpses, but Gu Xiaoyue knew perfectly well.

Seeing that Manager Ba Te didn't react, she stopped speaking and began taking the corpses out of her Yu Beast Space.

By the time she had brought out forty-three, the warehouse was already packed full.

"My big sister already told you it wouldn't fit, but you wouldn't listen."

White Gaze rolled his eyes at Manager Ba Te and the sales assistant following him.

Manager Ba Te's expression was a bit ugly as he raised his hand to start collecting the beast corpses.

"Wait a moment, you haven't paid the star coins yet, why are you collecting them already?"

White Gaze stood between Manager Ba Te and the beast corpses, spreading his arms to block his actions.

"I'm going to collect them all and pay at once, what's the problem?!"

Manager Ba Te felt embarrassed and wanted to reach out and push White Gaze, who was blocking him, aside.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his hand, his right wrist was grabbed by Gu Xiaoyue.

"You—"

Manager Ba Te hadn't expected that this seemingly frail girl would grab his hand like an iron clamp; he couldn't move at all!

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead; in just a few seconds of confrontation, he had already lost.

"White Gaze is right; if you want to collect them, pay these star coins first."

As Gu Xiaoyue spoke, she applied a little more force.

Within a few seconds, Manager Ba Te's hand began to turn red and purple because the blood circulation was cut off.

"I'll pay the star coins, let go—"

He squeezed the words out through his teeth; if Gu Xiaoyue didn't let go, he feared his hand would be ruined!

"Transfer them to him."

Gu Xiaoyue tilted her chin slightly, signaling for the star coins to be transferred to White Gaze, then let go of his hand and smoothed her long hair.

The subsequent process went quite smoothly. With twelve million star coins in hand, Gu Xiaoyue took White Gaze to purchase various ingredients.

Placing the ingredients into Little Black's hidden space was like putting them into a time stasis device; there was no need to worry about them spoiling.

"Alright, it's time to go collect debts."

After the shopping was finished, Gu Xiaoyue waved the IOU in her hand and went to find Bai Yao to demand the star coins.

Little did she know, her and White Gaze's actions today had all been reported to Prince Yi Bai Jin Yi.

"You're saying the girl by his side is a very powerful Beastmaster?"

Prince Yi Bai Jin Yi chuckled; he hadn't expected that the injured girl his son picked up in the wilderness would actually be a peerless expert.

The subordinate finished reporting the situation regarding White Gaze and Gu Xiaoyue at the supermarket.

Prince Yi Bai Jin Yi listened with keen interest, unable to hide his smile.

"Just let her teach White Gaze properly—continue to report any developments."

Perhaps her appearance was an excellent opportunity to spark White Gaze's potential.

Prince Yi Bai Jin Yi's gaze rested on the door of his secret room; this family truly had given him too many surprises!

Following the route White Gaze pointed out, Gu Xiaoyue found Bai Yao's home.

Unlike White Gaze's simple yurt, Bai Yao's home was a row of several yurts of various sizes.

It was surrounded by an exquisite fence and even had a wooden gate, showcasing the owner's family background, which was considered prominent in this grassland.

White Gaze went up to call at the gate, and a burly man came out to greet them.

When he saw that the visitors were White Gaze and Gu Xiaoyue, his eyes immediately widened. He shouted "Master!" and ran back, his steps even stumbling twice, nearly falling over.

His panicked appearance was likely due to lingering fear from the time he had been stripped of his clothes by Gu Xiaoyue.

"Presumptuous! Have I been too lenient with you all, that you no longer follow any rules?!"

Bai Mofeng came out from the largest yurt, still scolding the servant for not following the rules.

Bai Yao lifted the door curtain and poked his head out from the adjacent yurt. Seeing that the visitors were Gu Xiaoyue and White Gaze, he instantly understood their intentions.

With a "swish," he immediately dropped the curtain and pulled his head back in.

The burly man whispered to Bai Mofeng with a grievance-filled face.

Only then did Bai Mofeng understand: the people outside were the creditors that the good-for-nothing Bai Yao had provoked!

Bai Mofeng signaled for the servant to open the gate and invite Gu Xiaoyue and White Gaze inside.

He stared at Gu Xiaoyue with burning eyes and spoke slowly.

"Bai Yao has already told me about your business.

To dare to demand three million star coins from him for one mature Tier 5 beast corpse—do you think my Bai family has no one, that we can be bullied by you at will?"

Before Gu Xiaoyue arrived, she had already thought that the debt collection process would not be very smooth.

As Bai Mofeng sized her up, she also scanned him up and down with her gaze.

He certainly had the air and mannerisms of someone in a high position, but unfortunately, his strength—well, it was just so-so.

According to what White Gaze had told her, Bai Yao was actually his cousin, and Bai Mofeng could be considered his uncle.

If that was the case, Bai Mofeng was also a member of the royal family. Why would he be living in this remote grassland instead of the capital of Damon Country?

In every country, whether it be royal nobility or aristocratic clans, interpersonal relationships were always extremely complicated.

Gu Xiaoyue couldn't be bothered to think too much about it; she just needed to accompany White Gaze until his father inherited the throne and she found the entrance to the secret realm.

"A mature Tier 5 beast corpse is naturally not worth three million star coins. The extra portion is the interest I'm collecting on behalf of White Gaze for the years he was bullied by Bai Yao!"

Bai Mofeng snorted coldly and waved his hand.

"It's just some squabbling between children, why be so calculating?

Since you've come today, I naturally won't let you leave empty-handed."

Bai Mofeng ordered his servant to transfer one million star coins to White Gaze.

"Here is one million star coins for you; now hand over the IOU so I can burn it!"
