#879 - Chapter 879 Crocodile Tears
“This child is too honest. He’s out making a living at such a young age. It’s not easy,” an old man with a white beard said with emotion from the crowd.
In fact, Xiaobai wasn't young anymore; he was nineteen. It was just that his small face was chubby, with baby fat, making him look like he was only fourteen or fifteen.
Xiaobai quickly smiled ingratiatingly and said, “This old sir is right. My parents at home are sick, and have been for three years. I really have no choice but to take out my savings to exchange for life-saving money, sob sob……”
As he spoke with emotion, Xiaobai even shed a few crocodile tears to match.
Lin Yaoyao, who was to the side, really couldn't watch anymore and slightly turned her head away. Xiaobai, oh Xiaobai, you're really something. Your acting skills are top-notch. Next time, remember to be more resistant to beatings. Lin Yaoyao took a deep breath, lightly biting her teeth, wishing she could grab Xiaobai and beat him up right now.
Speaking of Lin Yaoyao beating Xiaobai, although Xiaobai would scream miserably, he had never cried before. How could he be now…
Lin Yaoyao took another deep breath. In the eyes of the surrounding crowd and the other disciples of逍遥 Peak, it was clear that Lin Yaoyao was so heartbroken that she quietly retreated to the side to grieve.
That sharply defined profile, the tip of her nose slightly sweating due to anxiety, and the faint fragrance of her body, all stirred the hearts of the onlookers.
“That young lady looks extremely sad. Could she be your sister?”
A lavishly dressed young man, looking quite presentable, pointed at Lin Yaoyao and asked.
As soon as Xiaobai heard this, he thought that if Senior Sister Yaoyao joined in, it would be even more dramatic. “Yes, my sister is too heartbroken and can’t even speak.”
Xiaobai nodded slightly, answering with a sobbing voice.
A quick glance revealed that the lavishly dressed young man’s gaze was already fixed on Lin Yaoyao.
Hehe he ~ Xiaobai wanted to laugh out loud inside.
Being suddenly called out, Lin Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Xiaobai, her three thousand strands of black hair falling from her shoulders.
Ah ~
Even more exclamations erupted from the crowd. “This… such a woman should only exist in the heavens; how often can one hear of her in the mortal realm!”
Another man wearing blue-purple silk clothes couldn't help but spout two lines of pretentious poetry.
Lin Yaoyao slightly pursed her lips, her eyes scanning back and forth between Xiaobai and the surrounding men, and she was about to explode, Xiaobai was shocked.
Not good, Eldest Senior Sister is about to explode.
“Ah ~ Wuwu ~” Xiaobai wailed miserably, “My poor sister ~ We really have had it so hard ~”
……
Xiaobai cried and wiped away tears, while secretly winking at Lin Yaoyao.
Lin Yaoyao, being suddenly dragged into this, was extremely angry. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?
I am a dignified Empress, okay?
You're the one having a hard life; your whole family is having a hard life; your ancestors for eighteen generations are having a hard life.
Her eyes stared intently at Xiaobai, and the Phoenix Fire in her eyes was about to erupt. Sensing this scorching power, Xiaobai was panicked inside.
“Everyone, please don’t look at my sister. She has been immersed in the pain of our parents' illness and is afraid to face strangers.”
“If I hadn’t dragged her out today, my sister would definitely not have been willing to show her face in public.”
“Wuwu ~”
“Let’s quickly sell these herbs and pills, and then go back to treat our parents, okay?” Xiaobai almost wailed as he finished this sentence.
Lin Yaoyao cursed inwardly, Xiaobai, if you dare to take the spiritual stones you get from selling the resources for yourself, see if I don't beat you to death.
“Yes, yes, yes, little brother, quickly finish selling them so that your sister can go back and rest sooner.”
“Yes, yes, the auction just now was very good. The highest bidder wins, and the extra bit is just to help this poor brother and sister.”
Such “righteous people” constantly erupted from the crowd, saying “righteous words.”
“Then thank you, everyone,” Xiaobai wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and quickly went around to the stall.
“Come, let’s continue the auction!”
“Next, we will auction off the mid-grade spiritual herb - Ghost Silver Grass.”
“It has a silver appearance and only grows at night. Although there are many places where it grows, it is extremely difficult to pick.”
“Moreover, it has a very good catalytic effect on refining mid-grade spiritual medicines,” Xiaobai said loudly about the benefits of this Ghost Silver Grass, hoping to auction it off for a good price.
“The starting bid is twenty spiritual stones, with each increase being five spiritual stones.”
“Begin!”
Xiaobai's voice suddenly became extremely impassioned, and the gloominess from just now was swept away from his face, replaced by excitement.
This……
Lin Yaoyao and the other disciples of 逍遥 Peak were all dumbfounded.
Xiaobai's face really changed quickly, acting like whatever he was supposed to be.
Hmph, it seems like he's acting naturally. It seems that Xiaobai must have hidden a lot of good things, Lin Yaoyao thought inwardly.
“Twenty-five spiritual stones!” the lavishly dressed young man shouted first.
“You poor wretch, don’t shout if you can’t afford it, aren’t you ashamed!” a middle-aged man in the crowd cursed.
The lavishly dressed young man's face instantly turned red. “Forty spiritual stones!”
“Eighty spiritual stones!” the cursing middle-aged man shouted.
Good, good, you guys are getting jealous here, the higher you raise the price, the better.
Xiaobai always maintained a smile on his face. Every time someone shouted a price, his heart was touched by happiness.
So refreshing ~
“Eighty spiritual stones once.”
“Eighty spiritual stones twice.”
Xiaobai stood on the stool and shouted at the top of his lungs.
……
“One hundred spiritual stones!”
Another man, who was unobtrusive but revealed a hint of nobility between his eyebrows, suddenly spoke.
Xiaobai instantly curved his lips into a smile. “One hundred spiritual stones once.”
“One hundred spiritual stones twice.”
……
The other onlookers looked at each other.
Especially the lavishly dressed young man who had just been ridiculed, gave the middle-aged man a provocative look.
If you're not poor, then make a bid!
“One hundred spiritual stones three times! Congratulations to this young master!”
The noble man revealed a smiling face, took the Ghost Silver Grass from Xiaobai's hand, and then glanced at Lin Yaoyao.
At this time, Lin Yaoyao was thinking about how to deal with Xiaobai, and her face looked serious.
“Just to share the worries for the lady,” the noble man bowed to Lin Yaoyao, startling her.
Lin Yaoyao came back to her senses, pursed her lips, nodded slightly in acknowledgement, and this momentary adorable appearance had already made the noble man's heart flutter.
Pa ~
