Chapter 221: Good Fortune Arrives

Hu Rui didn't care whether Hu Jiushisan's words were sincere or false; she also didn't care whether Hu Jiushisan resented her for stealing his business.

Even if Hu Jiushisan resented her for stealing his source of wealth, what then?

Or do you still have the guts to take its life?

If Hu Jiushisan had that courage, he wouldn't have been assigned by the clan elders to guard the gate at Bei damen.

Hu Rui smiled and said, 'Uncle Jiushisan, are you staying here to help me watch my carriage, or are you coming with me to receive that Paper Person dao friend?'

"I……"

Hu Jiushisan really wanted to say, he would stay here to 'help' Hu Rui look after her carriage.

After all.

Hu Rui and Wang Ping'an do business, and the profits are all his money; he goes to watch Hu Rui make big money, not knowing how he will be stimulated.

But thinking of Zhu Wu's words, and thinking of Niuda showing off his might in front of him.

Hu Jiushisan changed his words and said, "Third Miss, I'll go with you to receive that Paper Person dao friend!"

"Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Jiushisan; this is my first formal contact with that Paper Person dao friend, I don't know his taboos, so I also need you, Uncle Jiushisan, to speak a few good words for me in front of him."

Hu Rui spoke with a smile, eyes narrowed.

"Third Miss, you're being polite; this is all I should do!"

Hu Jiushisan suppressed his resentment, daring not to show the slightest bit, and spoke respectfully.

Just because Hu Rui stole his business, stole his source of wealth, stole his chance to rise above others, and still expect him to say a few kind words in front of Wang Ping'an?

Not taking the opportunity to say bad things would already be good.

Unfortunately.

He doesn't have that courage!

Moreover.

He also hoped to use Hu Rui's hand to deal with Niuda, preferably to kill that beast, to vent his anger; he could only suppress his disgust, and when the time came in front of Wang Ping'an, if he had the chance, he would say a few kind words to Hu Rui.

"Dao friend, what do you want to purchase this time? If you need anything, just say it; I will definitely help you with all my strength!"

Hu Rui got off the carriage; after all, driving the carriage to Wang Ping'an's presence somewhat showed disrespect to Wang Ping'an, so she quickly ran up to him and spoke enthusiastically.

He never thought that Wang Ping'an had come this time to do business with him, rather than that Wang Ping'an would still do business with Hu Jiushisan; yesterday they had already agreed that Wang Ping'an would do business with him.

He didn't believe that Wang Ping'an's words yesterday were just empty talk, that he was deceiving him; he would think that way, not because he had confidence in his own beauty.

Although.

His beauty is among the best in the entire Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan, but he ultimately hasn't transformed into human form, which may not fully align with human aesthetics.

Although he hasn't yet seen Wang Ping'an's true form, those who choose to manipulate a Paper Person are mostly Evil Cultivators, and mostly only humans would do such a thing.

It's not that there are no Evil Cultivators among the monster races!

However, Evil Cultivators among the monster races cultivate even more formidable abilities, and in the monster races' own markets, especially the fox clan's market, there's no need to hide their heads and show their tails.

Who doesn't know that the fox clan gets along extremely well with both humans and monster races, hardly having any enemies?

He is still in fox form, hasn't transformed, so he naturally can't charm Wang Ping'an; moreover, he knows that whether human or monster Evil Cultivators, the vast majority are a bunch of deviant playthings.

Not to mention that he hasn't transformed; even if he did, with flower-like beauty, in Wang Ping'an's eyes perhaps it still wouldn't be as important as a corpse.

He firmly believes that Wang Ping'an will do business with him because he believes that everything deceives people, only low-grade spirit stones do not deceive.

"I came this time wanting to purchase some things from your Nine-headed Mountain Market, but mainly I want to sell a batch of talismans; after all, I have hardly any spirit stones, and your high price yesterday wasn't deceiving me, was it?"

Wang Ping'an sent a voice transmission. From Hu Jiushisan's attitude in front of Hu Rui yesterday, he could roughly guess that Hu Rui had high status, and he wanted to obtain a powerful formation from the Nine-headed Mountain Market to protect his family's safety.

Besides needing to spend a large amount of low-grade spirit stones, he also needed to find a suitable channel.

Otherwise.

Who knows whether the formation is genuine or fake, and how effective it is!

Moreover.

Some powerful formations cannot be bought even with money.

"You mean, you came this time still to sell talismans?"

Hu Rui couldn't help but exclaim; she hadn't forgotten that Wang Ping'an had just done business yesterday, although not with her, but with Niuda as an insider, she knew that Wang Ping'an had sold several hundred talismans.

From Wang Ping'an's words, this time he came to find her to do business.

It couldn't be just selling a few talismans!

Hu Rui took a deep breath, suppressed her inner agitation, and subconsciously said: "Dao friend, I won't waste words; I will buy any talisman you make at a high price—one and a half low-grade spirit stones per talisman. What do you think?"

This novel you have arrived.

"No problem!"

Wang Ping'an gave a hehe laugh.

He knew that abandoning Hu Jiushisan, his initial partner, and turning to Hu Rui was the correct choice.

Although a monster fawned over him obsequiously, he was somewhat happy.

But.

How could this bit of happiness compare to the importance of low-grade spirit stones?

Hu Jiushisan's mouth twitched slightly; hearing Hu Rui's muttering and Wang Ping'an's words, he hadn't heard them, after all, how could a Paper Person speak?

But looking at Hu Rui and Wang Ping'an's appearance, it didn't seem like Hu Rui was muttering to herself.

Obviously, Wang Ping'an used some special means to communicate with Hu Rui!

This is something he hasn't experienced in these days!

"Could it be that low-grade spirit stones are that important? Such an aloof person, in the face of a price increase for low-grade spirit stones, has even learned to speak?"

Hu Jiushisan cursed silently, but he didn't dare show the slightest displeasure on his face.

He not only had objections to Wang Ping'an 'speaking out', but also to the price Hu Rui offered.

Hu Rui curiously asked: "I still don't know how to address you, fellow Daoist?"

"Li Fugui!"

Wang Ping'an casually gave a perfunctory reply, repeating the false name he had once said.

The next moment.

Stack after stack of talismans appeared in his hand.

"Li Fugui?"

Hu Rui's expression instantly turned extremely strange; she had never imagined a cultivator would bear that name. Just as she was curious about the origin of the name, seeing the talismans Wang Ping'an took out—stack after stack—her eyes lit up, and she said:

"Fellow Daoist, wait a moment, I'll get you low-grade spirit stones right away!"

As she spoke, bag after bag of cloth sacks containing low-grade spirit stones appeared before it.

Hu Rui eagerly took the talisman Wang Ping'an handed over and said: "Fellow Daoist Li, if you don't mind the trouble, you can count the low-grade spirit stones, take your share, and if it's not enough, just let me know!"
