Capítulo 42: Chapter 42: Flander Gets Tricked
"You're absolutely right! Buying and selling is all about bargaining. You're a generous man, brother!" Yun Feng said as he and Flander walked back into the shop.
Flander was inwardly delighted, seeing that the money he thought was gone would soon return. Although he had lost 200 gold soul coins, he was still making a pure profit of 300! Not bad, since what he had here was just junk that no one even glanced at.
After all, the whole point of his shop was to scam anyone he could—one good scam could feed him for six months! And it had been a long time since he had any business.
The last person, Tang San, was a disciple of his good brother, so he didn't charge him a single cent. Not that Tang San would've paid, anyway—courting Xiao Wu still costs money!
Flander knew he had to keep Yun Feng in the store.
After returning to the shop, Flander smiled so broadly that the wrinkles on his face bunched up, and he quickly stuffed the soul guide ring into Yun Feng's hand.
"My young friend, the soul guide is yours, but about that money..."
As Flander spoke, he rubbed his hands together expectantly. But under Flander's gaze, Yun Feng simply shook his head with a smile.
"Boss, as you said, buying and selling is about bargaining. After you pointed that out, I realized that this item isn't really useful to me anymore."
"I'm not interested in buying it now. What a shame!"
When Yun Feng said this, Flander's smile froze. He could see the regret in Yun Feng's eyes—he understood now. This kid was getting back at him for the earlier trick.
Flander took a deep breath, and his smile disappeared.
"Kid, are you messing with me?"
Flander's aura began to build up, and Yun Feng felt a pressure unlike anything he'd experienced before. He silently marveled at how this old fox had been pushed to the edge. The pressure from a Soul Sage's aura wasn't something just anyone could handle.
But even under this pressure, Yun Feng continued to smile.
"Of course not. I really did want to buy it, but I think this soul guide isn't worth the price anymore."
Flander's aura immediately dissipated after hearing that. Eyeing Yun Feng suspiciously, he asked, "Then how much do you think it's worth?"
Yun Feng raised three fingers.
Flander stared at them, confused.
"Still 300?"
Yun Feng shook his head and said, "I meant 30. If you want to sell, sell it. If not, I need to buy some other things. I'm getting ready to enroll somewhere."
Flander's anger was rising again at the first half of Yun Feng's sentence, but the latter part made him hesitate.
"Enroll? Enroll where?"
"Of course, I'm going to sign up at Shrek Academy. Boss, are you selling or not? Say something!" Yun Feng replied casually.
Hearing this, Flander took a deep breath, forcing a smile onto his face. Through gritted teeth, he said, "Of course, I'll sell it! 30 is fine, take it."
Without hesitation, Yun Feng took out 30 copper soul coins, slapped them onto the counter, and grabbed the soul guide ring.
As Yun Feng left, Flander's lips curled into a sly smile.
"This is getting more and more interesting! These kids are getting smarter by the day. Let's see if I can't squeeze some money out of you once you join my academy!"
Flander wasn't foolish. He had already sensed Yun Feng's true level. For someone of this age and strength, even the Spirit Hall would consider him a rare talent. There was no way Flander would let him slip by.
Just as he sat down, pleased with his little victory, he noticed something off about the money on the counter.
"Wait a minute..."
"Thirty... Thirty copper soul coins?!?!"
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!"
"Thief!!!"
Hearing Flander's shout from afar, Yun Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Ah Yin, who had been watching Yun Feng's entire scheme unfold, was left dumbfounded. She didn't expect him to pull it off like that.
From a thousand gold soul coins to just 30 copper ones—what a genius!
As a woman, she could never have played it so well!
Sensing Ah Yin's thoughts, Yun Feng calmly replied, "I did say 30. I never mentioned 30 gold soul coins. Thirty copper coins count too!"
Ah Yin was genuinely impressed by Yun Feng's cunning.
"You knew he's a Soul Sage, and you still dared to play him like that? Aren't you afraid he'll kill you?"
Yun Feng chuckled lightly.
"He has too much at stake here. He's a rational man, and a 'sentimental' one at that. He's holding on to some distant promise. Before he fulfills it, he won't do anything rash."
"Besides, I deliberately let some of my soul power leak out. With his perception, he must've noticed my true strength. And when I said I was joining Shrek Academy, do you think he'd harm me?"
Ah Yin stared at Yun Feng, unsure how to respond. After a long pause, she finally said, "Wait... he's the headmaster of Shrek Academy?"
Yun Feng smiled, "Didn't you already figure that out from my thoughts?"
After a quick scan of the area, Yun Feng spotted a rather unique-looking hotel.
The building was three stories high. Though not large, its entire exterior was decorated in rose-red, and it resembled a giant rose, making it stand out beautifully.
Yun Feng seemed to think of something and headed straight inside.
The moment he entered the Rose Hotel, he was hit by the fragrant scent of roses. The intoxicating aroma carried a hint of flirtation, making one feel instantly at ease.
The hotel's decor was simple but elegant, dominated by white, silver, and rose-red hues, which made it easy for guests to feel welcome.
"Excuse me, I'd like to book a room."
The receptionist stood up quickly. Seeing Yun Feng was alone, she tilted her head slightly and peeked behind him.
"Just one guest?"
Yun Feng was speechless at the question.
"Just tell me if you have a room!"
Sensing the energy radiating from the young man before her, the receptionist hurriedly nodded.
"Yes, of course!"
Taking the key, Yun Feng headed upstairs.
The Rose Hotel's interior design was soothing, and the subtle rose fragrance enhanced the pleasant ambiance.
On the top floor, Yun Feng found the door with the sign "Red Ocean."
There were only a few rooms on the top floor, each with a unique name—Blue Enchantment, Pink Passion, Yellow Sincerity, White Purity, Green Farewell, and so on.
