Chapter 324: Blackened Junior Sister (29)
They were drawn to Yue Ran like moths to a flame.
Fan Yu Yu was also amazed by Yue Ran at first, but she did not like others to wear red like her.
Who in the Central Plains did not know that she, Young Lady Fan, was hot-tempered and loved to wear red?
What was more was that Yue Ran was a woman who was much more beautiful than her and more suited for the color red than her! That in and of itself is an unforgivable sin!
Fan Yu Yu: How dare this young woman look much better than me! And wearing red at that! Unforgivable!
Yue Ran did not speak and just narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a slightly dangerous aura. Fan Zhi Qi was also a little embarrassed; after all, his little sister was indeed at fault, so he promptly mediated the situation.
"Please do not blame my little sister, this young lady," Fan Zhi Qi said. "My little sister seems to like this fruit tree a lot. I am willing to trade it for an appropriate price, so could you consider letting us have it?"
Fan Zhi Qi is only eighteen years old this year, and he has grown accustomed to spoiling his little sister. He personally believed that he could exchange the fruit tree for an appropriate price, which would not only dilute the hostility and friction that exist between his and the young lady's group but also provide a sizable profit for this young lady. Therefore, he felt that there must be no reason for the young lady to be unwilling to accept his proposal.
"Oh, is that so?" Yue Ran snorted coldly and stepped forward to stand in front of Hai Bing Tu. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Fan Zhi Qi with a hint of teasing and protest in her expression, seemingly expressing some complaint about the "large sum of money" that Fan Zhi Qi had mentioned.
The young woman's every move revealed a natural charm; as she stepped forward slowly, the swaying skirt rose and fell gently with the breeze like liquid fire against the crisp viridescent land, as if surging with endless blood, luxurious and charming. The contrast not only highlighted her beauty but also seemed to draw the attention of everyone nearby, leaving them momentarily breathless.
When Fan Zhi Qi was looked at by Yue Ran, although her eyes on him were not friendly, he still felt himself blushing and growing hot under her scrutiny.
As soon as Fan Yu Yu saw that her elder brother was looked down upon by Yue Ran, she immediately became irritated and furious. She raised her bow and aimed the arrow at Yue Ran. However, before Yue Ran could move and Fan Yu Yu could take a shot, Fan Zhi Qi intervened, stopping his little sister and turning to speak to Yue Ran.
"Young lady, we are from the Fan family in the Central Plains," Fan Zhi Qi said. "I can definitely afford to pay for this fruit tree."
Fan Zhi Qi gave a nod to a servant by his side, and the servant in a gray robe bent down and handed a few demon beast crystal cores to Yue Ran.
"This…" Yue Ran's speech faltered.
The young woman seemed to be a little embarrassed and hesitated while Fan Zhi Qi was happy. Seeing her hesitation, he knew that she must have never seen so many demon beast crystal cores and was embarrassed to take them. But in order to get to know her and erase the previous poor impression, it would not be a big deal to give her these demon beast crystal cores.
"You are welcome to take them, young lady, I..." Fan Zhi Qi began, but when he saw Yue Ran's next move, he quickly ran out of things to say.
The innumerable demon beast crystal cores stacked in the spatial ring fell out like vibrantly colored marbles when Yue Ran raised a hand with her palm facing the ground. They instantly piled up on the ground and formed a small mountain.
Yue Ran: Yes, you read that right. I consider these demon beast crystal cores piled up like a hill to be just "a few" demon beast crystal cores.
Fan Zhi Qi was taken aback. "This…"
He... Um, well, it seems like he has never seen so many demon beast crystal cores gathered into a hill in one place since he was born...
At a time like this, Yue Ran only blinked playfully at the young man.
"This... so many... You must have stolen these demon beast crystal cores from somewhere!" Fan Yu Yu yelled with an expression full of malice. "Now, come up and confess your sins!"
Fan Yu Yu does not have a character as stable as Fan Zhi Qi, so when she was slapped in the face by reality and was humiliated by the young woman in front of her, Fan Yu Yu could not help but lash out.
The young woman was feeling embarrassed, so she instinctively attempted to drag Yue Ran down to her level or lower. On the other hand, Yue Ran only smiled in response to her accusation.
The corners of her red lips curved upwards slightly.
That emerging smile on her face was warm, which melted the ice and snow, bringing about the spring. Even the sun and moon had lost their brilliance against it.
"Master, I have returned." A familiar deep and magnetic voice sounded.
It was Long Yuan. He had immediately come to where Yue Ran was after his hunt. He walked straight to his master while dragging several corpses of demon beasts behind him.
"They are…?" Long Yuan glanced at the group of people across from his master.
Fan Yu Yu blushed the moment she saw Long Yuan. She slightly turned around to hide behind Fan Zhi Qi, as if she were a little shy in front of someone she had deemed attractive.
Fan Yu Yu: So handsome...
