Chapter 27: Manual Payment

Seeing Ye Xi'an a bit annoyed, Bao Jing straightened his expression.

"All right, I won't tease you anymore. But where did you hear this rumor?" he said, having lived so long he'd never heard such a saying: "These are just palm lines formed during natural growth; they don't mean anything."

Ye Xi'an turned away, not wanting to look at Bao Jing, this clueless guy. Doesn't she know these are just palm lines? Only he understands.

Seeing Ye Xi'an turn, Bao Jing thought she was angry and was about to speak when Yi Yang came over, sourly.

He glanced at Bao Jing, showing a hint of jealousy and displeasure: "You're chatting happily with my wife, huh?"

Bao Jing raised his brows, seeing Yi Yang like that, feeling an inexplicable satisfaction: "Not bad."

But why did you come too? Did Ji Jiangci chase you over because he thinks you're too stupid?

"You're the stupid one." Yi Yang ignored Bao Jing and turned to Ye Xi'an: "Wife, the fruit's almost sold out; Brother Ji told me to get some more."

Ye Xi'an nodded: "I'll go with you; it's not easy for you to carry alone."

Yi Yang was eager for Ye Xi'an to go with him, quickly grabbing her hand to leave, but Bao Jing stopped him: "If you're going, just go; don't keep pulling and tugging. With your speed, if you yank Ye Xi'an over, what then?"

Ye Xi'an's mouth twitched; she wasn't that weak.

"It's fine, I walk fast."

Ye Xi'an followed Yi Yang back to the stall; only a few misshapen sugar apples and apples remained from earlier.

"Sold this fast?"

"I thought no one would come buy."

Ji Jiangci wiped sweat from his forehead: "Mm, foot traffic here is bigger, our prices are cheaper than fruit stores, so selling is still quite easy."

Ye Xi'an restocked the stall with fruit, and a beastman came over.

Ji Jiangci eagerly went to greet him, but the beastman didn't even glance, going straight to stand in front of Ye Xi'an.

The beastman stared at Ye Xi'an, his eyes flickering; she was the most beautiful female he'd ever seen, then he glanced at the male beside her and instantly felt confident.

He wore a white shirt with a black vest today; though not flashy, it was more than enough compared to those males.

The beastman's eyes stayed on Ye Xi'an as he casually pointed at something on the stall: "How much for this?"

Ye Xi'an looked down; the beastman was pointing at a durian, but she didn't know the price either.

"Ji Jiangci, how much for this durian?"

"500."

Yi Yang's eyes suddenly widened; he hurried to Ji Jiangci's side: "Brother Ji, aren't durians 200 each?"

Jiangci glanced at the beastman still staring at Ye Xi'an and said: "You don't understand; even if I said 1000, he'd still buy it."

Ye Xi'an picked up the durian, somewhat awkwardly pitching it to the beastman: "Do you want it?"

"Yes yes yes. I'll pay now."

"But I'm not married yet, so I have to do manual payment."

Manual payment is a way of paying Contribution Points by pressing index fingers together.

However, only unmarried males need to use this method; if married, males lose the ability to manually pay, and must have their wife do it, or transfer via the female's companion communicator searching accounts.

Hearing the other party wanted to buy, Ye Xi'an quickly reached out and received the transfer.

The beastman foolishly gazed at his own fingertip, having touched the female's hand, feeling delighted.
