Ye Qingtang, who was still seeking treasures in the Pavilion of Treasures, seemed to not notice that a pair of deep eyes were monitoring her every action from the highest floor.
In the dark room of the Pavilion of Treasures, Mu Su accompanied Han Cangming to stand and monitor Ye Qingtang with a heart full of curiosity towards the alluring-looking girl.
So this was whom the Heart of the Demon God was in?
Mu Su could not help but recall the question Han Cangming asked him when they were leaving the Ye family yesterday night.
His Highness wants to have a child with this kind of girl… Cough…
Mu Su secretly glanced at Han Cangming, who had his eyes fixated on Ye Qingtang and did not realize what his subordinate was thinking at all.
There were countless of precious treasures inside the Pavilion of Treasures. Since Ye Qingtang helped the Pavilion to find the Lythrum and even got a mouth-watering discount, she would not hold herself back.
The manager, who received Mu Su's orders, was personally accompanying Ye Qingtang to take her pick. He had originally thought that Ye Qingtang would take this opportunity to choose a few valuable treasures, yet Ye Qingtang actually stopped in front of a counter nobody cared about.
"Is this the Floating Pagoda?" Ye Qingtang asked while pointing at the emerald object, which was about the size of a cobblestone, displayed in the counter.
Looking in the direction, the manager nodded his head.
The Floating Pagoda was produced from a rank 5 spirit animal of which had an extremely strong combat power and needed a few hundred people to take it down successfully. However, the Floating Pagoda itself was of little value.
Its hardness was such that it was difficult for weapons to cause it any damage. Furthermore, due to the difficulty in killing a rank 5 spirit animal, the Floating Pagoda had a hefty price tag. Up to this day, no one knew what the Floating Pagoda could be used for, and, thus, it was used as a decoration even though it was not as dazzling as gemstones. Other than a few family clans who would buy a few of this only to boast their wealth, nearly no one cared about the Floating Pagoda.
Yet, Ye Qingtang was deeply attracted to those few Floating Pagodas.
This item may be useless to others, but to her, it was extremely useful!
"How many Floating Pagodas do you have here?" asked Ye Qingtang.
The manager did not understand why Ye Qingtang was interested in the total number of Floating Pagodas and dismissed it as an act of her curiosity. "There are more than ten of them in stock."
This item was extremely hard to sell. The Pavilion of Treasures barely sold one every year and, thus, had large stocks of them.
Touching her chin, she said with a glint of happiness in her eyes, "I want them all."
"…" The manager's eyes almost popped out.
She wants all of them?
"Lady Ye, each one of these Floating Pagodas would cost 1000 gold. Are you sure about this?"
Ye Qingtang nodded.
"…" A look of confusion was etched on the manager's face.
He had thought that after obtaining a twenty percent discount, Ye Qingtang would buy some valuable things back. Yet, who would have thought that this Young Lady wanted nothing but the Floating Pagoda, which was no different from a stone!
All of these Floating Pagodas would cost over 10,000 gold!
Buying a pile of useless rocks was simply a bloody loss!
Before the manager was able to persuade her, Ye Qingtang placed 10 gold bricks on the counter. Now, he could not even utter a word.
Helpless, the manager could only force himself to order people to bring out all the Floating Pagodas in the Pavilion of Treasures.
A total of seventeen Floating Pagodas amounted to 17,000 gold, and with Ye Qingtang's discount, it would cost 13,600 gold in total. Perhaps the manager thought the Floating Pagodas did her dirty, he generously rounded down the price to 13,000 gold.
Even so, he still felt he was doing Ye Qingtang dirty.
However, Ye Qingtang was full of smiles upon receiving the Floating Pagodas.
Although people did not know the use of the Floating Pagoda now, news of it being able to nourish the spirit root would spread a few years later. The Floating Pagoda was one of the few treasures in the world that could nourish the spirit root. While its current price of 1000 gold was expensive, the price shot up so rapidly upon the circulation of the news such that one Floating Pagoda was very difficult to be bought even with 10,000 gold.
Hence, how was it a bloody loss to Ye Qingtang? She more than profited!
"I'll trouble you to let me purchase all the Floating Pagodas if there are any in the other branches of the Pavilion of Treasures," Ye Qingtang said with a smile. The Pavilion of Treasures had stores all over the world, and if she could work with all of them, she would not need to worry about the supply of the Floating Pagodas.
However, the manager looked incredulous.
Is Young Lady Ye crazy?
The manager did not dare to agree straight up and merely said he would consider while he made a mental note of Ye Qingtang's obsession towards the Floating Pagoda. Seeing as to how she bought such huge amounts, could it be that the Floating Pagoda had other benefits?
Ye Qingtang was not in a hurry as well. Ten Floating Pagodas were enough for her to use for a while.
Other than accumulating the Floating Pagodas, Ye Qingtang also purchased a scale of the Fiery Sunset Beast.
The Fiery Sunset Beast was an extremely fierce spirit animal active in places covered with magma, and its scales were especially resistant against fire. However, due to the unparalleled large size and shockingly heavy weight of the scales, it was very difficult to build an armor out of it. Hence, only a few people would buy it.
The manager trembled upon seeing Ye Qingtang's consecutive purchase of two invaluable items. He really could not figure out why she liked to only pick junk!
To store the huge Fiery Sunset Beast's scales, Ye Qingtang also bought a space ring from the Pavilion of Treasures and stored everything she bought in it.
Mu Su, who was observing her from a dark place with Han Cangming, was perplexed as he watched Ye Qingtang's face full of happiness after buying a pile of junk.
"Your Highness, uh… Lady Ye's taste is really special…" Mu Su's lips twitched a little as he carefully took a look at Han Cangming.
He did not purposely do Ye Qingtang dirty with all those junk; it was Ye Qingtang who bought them herself! He should not be blamed for this.
Han Cangming did not respond to Mu Su's attempt to prove his innocence and merely looked at Ye Qingtang meaningfully.
Ye Qingtang, who had used her rebirth to her advantage to obtain a heap of treasures, was deeply satisfied. After looking around the Pavilion of Treasures, she did not see anything she needed and was ready to leave. Just as she walked to the door of the pavilion, she suddenly saw Si Bai and his servant, who were about to leave as well.
It just so happened that Ye Qingtang was preparing to visit the Si family to check the condition Si Bai's body. Now that they have bumped into each other, it was convenient as they left the Pavilion of Treasures and headed towards the Si residence together.
"…" Mu Su silently watched Ye Qingtang and the good-looking young man talking and laughing as they left. He turned around to look at His Highness…
Han Cangming was expressionless.
Mu Su secretly pulled a long face. Your Highness, you should watch out!
He mentally decided that he must find an opportunity to bring Ye Qingtang to his highness the next time he sees Ye Qingtang.
If you want to have a baby, shouldn't you take some action?
…
"I saw you buying quite a few Floating Pagodas and the scales of the Fiery Sunset Beast just now?" Si Bai asked Ye Qingtang along the way to the Si residence. He was quite curious about Ye Qingtang's stance when she was buying large quantities of the items in the Pavilion of Treasures.
Si Bai had heard of the Floating Pagoda and scales of the Fiery Sunset Beast but really did not know what was so special about them.
"Yes," Ye Qingtang replied with no intention of hiding.
