~7 min read 1,347 words

Ten thousand taels a bowl?

The crowd present heard Xu Que's words and almost fainted.

It just raised the price to one thousand taels a bowl, and now it has increased tenfold again, directly to ten thousand taels a bowl?

Your mother, with your attitude, you still have the nerve to say that doing business requires integrity? And that you are a man of your word?

I believe your evil!

But then again... what's wrong with the Seventh Princess?

Why is her expression so shocked? Is that thing really that delicious?

The Seventh Princess stood frozen in place, foolishly looking at Xu Que, unable to react for a long time.

What's going on with this person?

Didn't you say it was free to eat, and you could eat as much as you wanted?

How come after only one bite, in the blink of an eye, it's ten thousand taels a bowl?

"Young... Young Master Xu, why is this?"

The Seventh Princess was a bit confused, her face full of bewilderment.

Xu Que smiled: "Look at how scared you are, I'm just joking with you. I already said, I am a man of my word and value integrity. Come, come, come, the whole bowl is yours!"

As he spoke, he directly shoved the whole bowl of stinky tofu to the Seventh Princess.

His main focus was on thinking about how to teach the Second Prince a lesson, and he was too lazy to earn more silver.

The Second Prince was also shocked in his heart, unable to figure out what secret was hidden in this black thing, why even his Seventh Imperial Sister had such an expression after eating it. Could it really be that delicious?

"Seventh Imperial Sister, are you sure this thing is delicious?" The Second Prince looked at the Seventh Princess and asked.

The Seventh Princess smiled bitterly and nodded: "Second Imperial Brother, this item is very magical. After I ate it, my divine soul power seems to have increased!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of several princes changed instantly!

Divine soul power increased?

So that's it, no wonder the Eighth Elder of the Heavenly Fragrance Valley valued this item so much. It turns out it's a good thing!

Several people suddenly realized, and looked at the pot of stinky tofu again, their eyes becoming fiery.

"Second Fatty, how is it? Now that your sister has personally tried it, are you still unwilling to admit defeat? Do you want to renege on the debt? Do you want to be so shameless?"

At this time, Xu Que looked at the Second Prince and said arrogantly.

The muscles on the Second Prince's face twitched, and he opened his mouth: "When did I say I wanted to renege..."

Before he could finish, Xu Que interrupted him earnestly: "One must value integrity in life. Look at me, I just did what I said, I didn't even take a penny from your sister, and even treated her to a delicacy worth ten thousand taels. Don't you feel ashamed?"

The Second Prince rolled his eyes. He didn't want to renege at all, and said: "I..."

Xu Que interrupted again, shaking his head: "You don't need to make so many excuses. You have already lost this bet. If you are a man, admit it boldly, don't be wishy-washy!"

"I..."

"Just tell me if you lost, is it, is it?"

"Yes..."

"Yes what yes, look at your unconvinced face, it's clear you are unconvinced in your heart. This won't do, without integrity, how can you be an emperor in the future?"

"..."

The Second Prince was dumbfounded, his face full of speechlessness.

He didn't want to renege at all, especially in front of so many commoners, he wanted to establish an image of a prince who dares to act and keep his promises.

But he never expected that before he could say anything, just by Xu Que's mouth, he was branded as a person who doesn't keep his promises.

After this series of words, let alone the commoners present, even the Second Prince himself almost believed that he really wanted to renege.

After a few breaths, the Second Prince finally recovered and shouted angrily: "This Prince never said I wanted to renege, stop talking nonsense here!"

"Alright, alright, it's right that you can wake up in time and admit defeat bravely. It shows that you listened to what I just said. You have to be careful in the future, don't wait until others tell you before you become conscious!" Xu Que nodded earnestly, looking very gratified, as if the child could be taught.

The Second Prince almost vomited blood from anger and glared at Xu Que.

Before he could scold him, Xu Que preempted him again: "Come, it's time to talk about the mansion you owe me!"

The Second Prince widened his eyes: "When did this Prince owe you a mansion?"

Xu Que blinked and smiled: "Didn't you say that if you lost, you would agree to one condition of mine? My condition is, give me a mansion, plus three thousand beauties in the harem, and countless gold and silver treasures, it's that simple!"

Vulgar, too vulgar!

Several princes present heard this and showed expressions of disdain.

They thought this guy would want some heavenly materials and earthly treasures for cultivation, but they didn't expect him to ask for houses, women, and money as soon as he opened his mouth.

As a cultivator, how can one have such vulgar thoughts?

Of course, this was just the thought of several princes, but for the commoners, Xu Que's request was simply too perfect.

A mansion, plus three thousand beauties in the harem, plus countless money, what's the difference between this and being an emperor? It's simply too enviable!

Er Gouzi didn't know when it had taken over the oil pot, holding two big chopsticks, messing around in the oil pot, and didn't forget to mock: "Kid, you are too shameless! You actually made such a condition, you have no foresight at all, you should have told him to give you the whole Golden Origin Kingdom!"

When the crowd heard this, their mouths twitched, and they glared at Er Gouzi with disdain, but no one was willing to criticize it.

The Second Prince didn't pay attention to Er Gouzi's words either, looked at Xu Que coldly, and joked: "This Prince only promised you one condition, but what you just said is already three conditions!"

"Oh, you're right, it was indeed my mistake. One condition is one condition, then I'll say it again!" Xu Que accepted the mistake with an open mind.

"Okay!" The Second Prince nodded.

Xu Que said: "Then I want a mansion that has three thousand beauties in the harem and is filled with gold and silver treasures!"

"..."

The whole scene was instantly silent.

What's the difference between this?

Isn't it just combining a few sentences into one?

This also works? Fuck, big brother, you are really fierce!

Everyone was convinced. They thought Xu Que would change a condition, or reduce some requirements, but they didn't expect him to be so witty!

The Second Prince also narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Since you insist on this kind of request, then this Prince can naturally satisfy you!"

For him, Xu Que's request was not excessive at all, and it could be done easily.

Xu Que, however, had a smile on his face and asked: "What if you can't do it?"

"This Prince cannot fail to do it!" The Second Prince was full of confidence.

"No, I don't quite believe your words, unless you write a promissory note, and by the way, write that if you can't do it, you have to compensate me with all the property under your name!"

"Hehe, what a small-minded person! A promissory note, this Prince will satisfy you!"

The Second Prince sneered again and looked at Xu Que with disdain.

Then, with a wave of his hand, his subordinates immediately brought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and the Second Prince wrote the promissory note casually.
