Chapter 54: You want the big one, I want the small one

  "Miss Dugu, your self-esteem is too strong, isn't it?" Jun Xie couldn't help but tease her and continued to retort: "I want to find someone, I'll go to the Rouge Building, there are many beautiful girls there, and they're especially gentle... Ahh!" Dugu Xiao Yi's pretty face turned white with anger, one of her slender hands twisted his arm, her beautiful eyes stared widely, gritting her teeth as she said: "Wha...t...are...you...say...ing?"

  "A gentleman uses his mouth, not his hands!" The villainous man's face turned stern and he said, "Elder sister, be gentle, don't tire your delicate jade-like hands."

  "Hmph, speak! What evil intentions do you have by following me? Speak quickly, or I won't guarantee that your ears will remain intact." Dugu Xiao Yi's hands didn't loosen in the slightest, unyielding and relentless.

  "You know, Miss Dugu is someone who can talk and act, never afraid of big things. With a flicker of her eyes, she smiled slyly: 'Isn't Miss Dugu wanting to buy iron blocks? Why don't... let me pay the bill for you instead?'"

  "Hey, you?" Dugu Xiao Yi suddenly remembered that this guy had won so many good things last time but didn't give her any, and she felt unfair again. Her eyebrows furrowed in anger as she said, "You should be the one paying! You still owe me money from our joint win last time! If it weren't for my luck, you wouldn't have won such great stuff. Consider this payment instead." She suddenly chuckled twice, revealing a pair of cute small tiger teeth, and gestured with her hand: "I want to use it to buy a short dagger... the thin kind that can be hidden in your sleeve. Isn't that great?"

  He wiped the sweat from his brow, this girl was really something else. Not only did she let you witness her win 20,000 silver coins, but she also snatched away a few tens of thousands of silver notes that belonged to herself. Now, she's suddenly transformed into a partner, relying on her luck... Just playing a small trick with a light knife, and yet she wants to occupy such a large piece of meteorite iron. What's the meaning of "wasting heaven's resources"? This girl is the standard example...

  That piece of meteorite was about the size of two basketballs, emitting a strange color all over its body, similar to the special color of aluminum alloy in his previous life, but it looked even more pure. On the surface, there were irregular flower-like impact marks. Jun Xie took one glance and determined that this piece of meteorite was absolutely superior to xuan iron! At this moment, Jun Xie had already made up his mind: no matter what means he had to use, whether it be deceit or coercion, he must get his hands on this piece of meteorite. Such a good thing could only be fully utilized in the hands of Young Master Jun.

  "Boss, this piece of rotten iron, how many taels of silver?" The young master kicked the basketball-sized meteorite in the middle of the room with his toes and asked with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes. This made the middle-aged man who brought him in stunned! This young master had just been an expert with a professional demeanor, but as soon as he saw this beautiful lady, he instantly turned into such a disgusting and unlucky appearance? What kind of play is this?!

  Is it infatuation? Beauty is a curse! A beautiful face can indeed bring great harm!

  "Hmm, hehe, young master, this is from outside the sky..." The boss was an old man, slightly hunched over.

  Before he could finish speaking, Jun Xie impatiently interrupted him and said: "Cut the nonsense, just name your price in silver coins. I've got plenty of money! If I take a liking to something, even if it's scrap metal, it becomes a treasure! So just go ahead and name your price for this piece of junk!"

  "Yes, yes," The boss can open a store in the capital city, naturally has a lot of insight, clearly seeing that this young master is likely to be one of the super wealthy and powerful individuals in the capital with great reputation. Who dares to neglect such a person? Hurriedly said: "This iron has an extraordinary origin, our small store estimates its value at 800,000 silver coins; Moreover, if the young master and miss are planning to have our small store make it into a specific object, the cost will need to be added with another 50,000 silver coins..."

  "Oh? 80,000 taels? So cheap? I'll take it!" Jun Xie had a look of having silver notes in his pocket and didn't know what to do with them. He kicked another piece with the tip of his foot: "What about this broken thing?" He looked arrogant, but the goods he pointed at were not ordinary products. It was a large piece of genuine refined steel, much larger than that meteorite, with a dark red color all over it.

  "This piece is also a fine steel, although it can't be compared to the previous meteorite iron, but it's worth two thousand taels of silver." The old man replied quickly. It's clear that this powerful young master in front of him has no patience at all. Two thousand taels of silver is enough to make a family of three worry-free for generations, and the price can't be said to be cheap. As for the previous eight million taels, it's an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but for a super-rich young master, it's just a drop in the bucket."

  "Not expensive, not expensive, it's quite cheap!" Jun Ye waved his hand: "I'll buy them all!" He quickly pulled out a stack of silver bills, which were naturally the spoils of war from that day; he held them in his hand, spat out a mouthful of saliva, wiped his fingers on his lips, and counted out 90,000 taels of silver with a clicking sound. "Slap" - he slapped the money onto his palm, saying loudly: "Here's 90,000 taels, no need to make change!"

  Dugu Xiaoyi watched from the side, her face changing from a smile to disappointment, slowly turning cold, and gradually revealing a look of disgust. A feeling that couldn't be expressed suddenly arose in her heart: she had thought he had changed that day, but now it seemed he was still the same spoiled young master... Alas!

  One hand handed over the money, one hand handed over the goods. Jun Xie efficiently and neatly completed the transaction of the two large iron blocks. Now, these two valuable iron blocks are already in Jun Xie's possession.

  Dugu Xiao Yi's face was cold, and her voice was icy: "Jun San Shao, you've paid the money, so this iron should be mine now?" In her heart, she was truly regretful. If she had known he would be like this, why did she let him pay? It wouldn't have made herself unhappy! This young lady could find people to foot the bill, from princes to officials' sons, and they would line up for miles. When would it be Jun Moxie's turn? It was really beneath her dignity, but the meteorite iron was hard to come by, so she might as well waste a few more words on him!

  "Good! It's only right." Jun Xie smiled and said: "Dugu Miss, look at these two iron blocks. You can have the bigger one, I'll take the smaller one. How about that? Being able to pay for Dugu Miss is truly an honor for me, Jun Mo Xie, haha..."

  "What did you say?" Dugu Xiao Yi was about to take the meteorite and leave, but suddenly heard something that didn't sound right. She couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes, somewhat disbelieving her own ears: "I want the big one? You want the small one?"

  Isn't he stupid? The small one is that piece of meteoric iron. The big one is that piece of refined steel, although the quality is also good, but compared to meteoric iron, it's far inferior. What does Miss want with ordinary refined steel?

  "Indeed." Jun Xie said with a matter-of-fact tone: "You see, I bought both of these iron blocks, but I only need the small one. The big one would be too wasteful for me; as the saying goes, 'red powder is given to beautiful women', and of course, this large iron block should also be given to a beauty like Miss Dugu. Hehe, naturally, it's a gift for you, Miss Dugu. Hmm... if you think it's not enough, I can buy another one? They're only a few thousand taels each, very cheap. It just so happens that I brought a lot of silver with me today, why don't I buy a few dozen blocks and hire a horse carriage to deliver them to your estate?"

  Dugu Xiaoyi suddenly became so angry that her whole body started shaking!

  She finally understood that Jun Mo Xie's goal was also the meteorite iron, but he was afraid of taking it by force so he proposed to pay for her instead. Now that the transaction is complete, he actually wants to give her the ordinary refined steel?
