Chapter 13163 OK, deal

"Please believe that our Bada Trading Company has always operated with integrity and would never intentionally mislead customers."

The beautiful woman's words sounded full of sincerity and apology, trying to resolve Ling Xiao's dissatisfaction.

However, Ling Xiao's expression did not ease at all. He still frowned and said in a firm tone: "I understand the preciousness of rare medicinal materials, but the price should also be reasonable. At most, I can only accept a price of 40 million per plant. I hope the shopkeeper can understand that I am not deliberately making things difficult for you, but I just don't want to be taken advantage of."

The beautiful woman looked a little embarrassed when she heard this. She knew very well that the price Ling Xiao proposed was close to their bottom price, but due to the rules and interests of the business, she had to stick to her principles.

"Sir, we understand your request, but Soul-Breaking Grass that is over 500 years old is too precious. The price of 40 million is really hard for us to accept."

Ling Xiao's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from it, and his deep eyes flashed with unquestionable determination. He pursed his lips tightly, and a sense of oppression that could not be ignored emanated from his body. Obviously, he was determined to get the Soul-Breaking Grass that was more than 500 years old today.

If the other party really intends to use the scarcity of rare medicinal materials to blackmail him, then he will never sit still and wait for death. He will not give even a penny easily, and will not allow himself to become a lamb to be slaughtered.

"Today, I, Ling Xiao, will take the Soul-Breaking Grass." His words were as cold as ice, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth with unquestionable firmness. "Since you can't accept 40 million, then 30 million is the highest price I can offer. Will you give it to me or not?" His eyes were like torches, staring straight at the beautiful woman, as if he wanted to penetrate her disguise and look straight into her heart.

The beautiful woman was frightened by his momentum and took a step back involuntarily, with a trace of panic in her eyes. She obviously did not expect Ling Xiao to be so tough, and she did not expect him to directly cut the price back to the 30 million that the maid had originally proposed.

He originally wanted to make some money from Ling Xiao, but he didn't expect that he would end up making things worse.

"Sir, what are you doing..." The beautiful woman's voice trembled slightly. She tried to ease the atmosphere with words, but was interrupted by Ling Xiao before she could finish her words.

Ling Xiao's eyes were as sharp as ice, coldly penetrating the beautiful woman's disguise and reaching her heart. "Don't play dumb with me. Do you think I came here to buy the Soul-Breaking Grass without doing enough homework beforehand?" His voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the beautiful woman's heart.

He continued, "Soul-breaking Grass, although this herb is rare, it has limited uses. The price in the market has always been stable, far less than the huge 30 million you are offering. If I didn't need this thing urgently, why would I be entangled with you like this?"

After he finished speaking, a hint of anger flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes, which was dissatisfaction and indignation towards the greed and deception of the merchants.

"You actually dare to ask for a high price of 50 million. Do you really think that I, Ling Xiao, am a soft persimmon that is easy to bully?" His tone revealed unquestionable toughness, as if he was ready to defend his rights at any time.

The beautiful woman's face changed slightly when she heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of vigilance and hostility flashed in her eyes. In a moment, her hand in her sleeve had quietly grasped a delicate short blade, which was the weapon she used to protect herself when necessary as the owner of the business. This subtle movement did not escape Ling Xiao's keen perception.

"What, are you still planning to take action?" Ling Xiao sneered, his voice full of both sarcasm and disdain. He didn't expect that before he had any intention of taking tough measures, the other party had already planned to take action.

At this moment, his impression of Bada Trading Company became even worse, and he thought that the people here were all greedy and had no sense of rules.

"In the martial arts world, strength should prevail and integrity should be the basis. I didn't expect that your Bada Trading Company would act in such a way. When the business fails, you resort to force. It's really eye-opening." Ling Xiao's words were full of sarcasm and disappointment. He knew very well that such a deal, even if it was barely reached, would certainly not be a pleasant one.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the VIP room became extremely tense, like a taut string that could break at any time. The confrontation between Ling Xiao and the beautiful woman was not just about the deal of the Soul-Breaking Grass, but also a silent contest between justice and greed, honesty and deception in the martial arts world.

Ling Xiao's mouth curled up into a cold smile, which was a complex emotion mixed with disdain and ridicule. He thought to himself that he had not made any radical moves yet, but the other party had already shown his intention to attack. The people of Bada Trading Company were indeed just as the rumors said, their style of behavior was exactly the same, greedy and unruly.

"If the business fails, do you have to rob?" There was a hint of coldness in Ling Xiao's words. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see into the darkest corners of people's hearts.

When faced with Ling Xiao's questioning, the beautiful woman's face flashed with an unnatural look, but she quickly returned to normal. After a moment's silence, she seemed to have made some decision.

At this moment, her right ear trembled slightly, as if she had received some secret signal. Then, she quickly adjusted her expression and put on a warm smile.

"Your Excellency has really misunderstood. Our Bada Trading Company has been established in the martial arts world for many years and has always been based on integrity. How could we do such a dark thing?" The beautiful woman's voice was soft and magnetic, and her words were full of sincerity, as if the previous conflict had never happened.

After that, she gently waved her right hand, her movements were graceful and calm, as if she was performing a carefully choreographed performance. As she moved, an exquisite square box suddenly appeared in front of Ling Xiao. The box was made of an unknown wood, and the surface emitted a faint fluorescence, which looked both mysterious and noble.

Ling Xiao's eyes fixed, and although he was puzzled, he still reached out to take the box. He gently opened the lid of the box, and saw two soul-breaking grasses lying side by side inside. Each of them exuded a faint fragrance, with emerald green leaves and a deep purple rhizome. They were obviously treasures of extremely long age.

"All of them are Soul-Breaking Grass that are more than 500 years old!" Ling Xiao couldn't help but marvel in his heart. Such a year is extremely rare in the martial arts world.

Ling Xiao nodded slightly to show his approval of the deal. Then, he flicked his finger lightly, and his fingertips seemed to gather the faint light in the air. A storage ring shining with a faint spiritual energy slowly floated towards the beautiful woman. The ring contained 60 million high-quality spiritual stones, which were invaluable and enough to demonstrate his sincerity and strength.

The beautiful woman's eyes moved slightly, and she quickly glanced at the storage ring. After confirming that it was correct, she turned her wrist, and another exquisite storage ring appeared in her palm. With a light swipe, the spirit stone was sucked into her storage space like running water.
