"Brother, take this hundred coins."

Ji Nuan took out a portion of the 730 coins settled by the clinic and handed it to Ji Shan.

"I'm going to buy some things for my daughter's family. It's inconvenient for you to come along." Ji Nuan tried to find an excuse to get Ji Shan away, assigning him a task. "Jin Dou'er and the others want to eat candied haws. Once you've bought them, go to Third Brother's place and wait for me."

"Then be careful when you're alone." Ji Shan approached and whispered, "Don't take out all your money when you buy things, or you might be targeted."

After experiencing the ginseng selling incident just now, Ji Shan knew that his younger sister was thoughtful and had good ideas, so he gave her some advice and no longer insisted on following her.

Ji Nuan picked out a few things that could be used for makeup in the rouge shop, then went to a clothing store and bought two sets of coarse cloth men's suits that fit her body shape. Then she found a remote and deserted alley and slipped into the space.

A quarter of an hour later, a thin, dark-faced boy walked out of the alley. Contrary to his appearance, he was still walking with ease even though he was carrying a big tiger on his shoulders.

As the premier restaurant in the city, "Tian Shang Xian" boasts opulent decor and a dazzling array of mouth-watering dishes. However, these diners are often found to be either wealthy or high-ranking. Villagers from Taohua Village, passing "Tian Shang Xian" on their way into the city, inevitably stop to admire it, and upon returning home, boast about it with pride.

This large tiger was a rare ingredient, and ordinary restaurants naturally couldn't handle it. Ji Nuan had a plan in mind: she planned to sell the whole thing to the Celestial Immortal, saving her the trouble of cutting it up and avoiding unnecessary trouble.

The big tiger attracted a lot of curious eyes, and some people even followed it all the way to the restaurant entrance to join in the fun.

"This guy is really strong! He can even carry a tiger weighing hundreds of kilograms."

"It would be terrible to hit a tiger. Tigers are very fierce!"

"The tiger is worth a lot of money. This guy is going to be rich. I'm so envious of him!"

...Passersby were talking about it.

Ji Nuan proudly carried the tiger on his shoulders and strode into the heavenly fairyland.

The receptionist suddenly saw a huge tiger and trembled all over. He cried out in surprise: "Oh my God, this huge tiger! It scared me to death!"

The man gently stroked his chest, trying to calm his heartbeat. He then turned to look at Ji Nuan and asked, "Young man, are you planning to sell this tiger?"

Ji Nuan nodded slightly and said simply and clearly, "Can you take it?"

"Wait a moment, little brother. I'll go and ask the shopkeeper to come over." The clerk answered quite familiarly. Apparently, this kind of door-to-door sale of prey was not uncommon.

A moment later, the shopkeeper and his clerk hurried in from the back hall.

The shopkeeper spotted the tiger at first sight, a flicker of surprise in his eyes, and said with a smile, "Oh, this is a rare and good thing! Young man, you are really capable!" After that, he turned to look at Ji Nuan and asked politely, "I wonder what price you plan to offer for this tiger?"

Ji Nuan didn't hesitate and directly quoted the price: "Six hundred taels, what do you think, shopkeeper?"

The crowd around him gasped when they heard this, and began to murmur among themselves. Some people thought Ji Nuan's offer was too high, but they didn't dare to speak out loudly. After all, who would dare to provoke a man who could kill a tiger?

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper frowned slightly, calculating his profit in his mind, and then he said tactfully, "Young man, this price is indeed a bit high. Look at this tiger skin, it has several damages, which will definitely affect its value. I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money."

Ji Nuan knew that her price was a bit high. After all, it was her first time dealing with the owner, and she didn't know his character. So, she asked the owner, "What do you think is a reasonable price?"

Seeing Ji Nuan's apathy, the shopkeeper assumed she was unhappy and explained, "Young man, you may not know, but 'Tian Shang Xian' has branches in all major cities in Dong Chu, and even in some larger counties. We are honest and trustworthy, and our prices are absolutely fair. We never cheat anyone."

The shopkeeper observed Ji Nuan's expression and, seeing that he didn't react much, he tentatively said, "Young man, how about this? Let's negotiate and subtract a hundred taels, making it a deal of five hundred taels. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Nuan nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with the shopkeeper's suggestion.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand for the waiters to come forward and carry Da Hu to the back hall. Then, he turned around and took out a banknote from the counter, handed it to Ji Nuan, and said with a smile, "Young man, please take a look at this banknote and see if it is correct."

Ji Nuan took the banknote, looked at it, and put it away carefully.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper felt even more respect for Ji Nuan. It was rare for ordinary people to see such a large denomination of banknotes, so the person before him must be extraordinary. So he respectfully asked, "Young man, what should I call you?"

Ji Nuan smiled slightly and replied casually: "My name is Wang Fugui."

"Brother Wang, next time you have such good stuff, just send me 'Heavenly Fairy' and I will give you the best price." The shopkeeper said enthusiastically, obviously appreciating Ji Nuan.

"Thank you very much, boss. Goodbye!" Ji Nuan clasped his fists and bowed, then turned and left with a free and easy pace.

The shopkeeper watched Ji Nuan's departing back and nodded in appreciation in his heart.

Ji Nuan slipped back into the space and changed back into her clothes. Unaware that just as she entered the space, a figure suddenly rushed into the alleyway, followed closely by seven or eight burly men, clearly chasing the man in front.

Chen Yu leaned against the wall and gasped for breath, he was so tired.

"You little brat! You're such a fast runner! You're really tiring me out." Strong Man A caught up with him, put his hands on his hips and gasped for breath.

"Run, run! Take it out quickly, don't let us do it ourselves." Strong man B looked fierce, pushing the boy and threatening him.

Chen Yu's originally handsome face was flushed from the continuous running. He panted slightly and waved his hand to the strong man in front of him, "No... I won't run anymore. I can't run anymore..."

Strong man B seemed extremely impatient. He interrupted Chen Yu rudely and threatened viciously: "Stop talking nonsense! Take out the money quickly!" His tone was full of threats and unquestionable.

Chen Yu feigned composure, but inside he was panicking, trying to buy time so he could find a chance to escape. While secretly observing his surroundings, he said to the men, "Brothers, I really didn't bring any money with me today. Another day, another day, I'll treat you all to a nice drink at a nice restaurant."

"Hmph, are you still trying to use tricks to delay time?" Strong Man A saw through Chen Yu's intention at a glance. His face darkened, and a fierce smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Then he waved his hand to the younger brothers behind him and ordered: "Go! As long as you don't kill him, anything is fine!" With his order, the younger brothers responded one after another and surrounded Chen Yu. The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Faced with the men closing in, Chen Yushen was at his wit's end. He could only make a final struggle. He suddenly shouted, "Help! They're stealing my money!" He only hoped that a passerby or nearby resident would hear his cries and lend a hand.
