The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

About a quarter of an hour later, Shopkeeper Liu finished counting the herbs. He raised his head, looked at Su Qingning, and said with a smile, "Young Master, I just counted them. There are a total of 88 primary-grade herbs and 40 mid-grade herbs. Do you think this is the correct number?"

Su Qingning had prepared these herbs in advance, so she naturally knew the quantity. Seeing that the quantity Manager Liu said was correct, Su Qingning nodded gently, "Yes, this is the quantity, no problem."

"Boss, could you please calculate the total number of gold coins?" Su Qingning couldn't help but urge in her tone.

It had been a while since she left home, and she wondered if her mother and Xiaoyu were safe. Even though Xiaobai was in Jinyuan, Su Qingning couldn't help but feel a little worried because of her past life experience. She wanted to quickly get the silver coins, buy some food, and get back before dark.

"Young Master, please wait a moment."

Shopkeeper Liu first comforted Su Qingning, then looked down at the medicinal herbs on the counter, which were obviously of better quality than other herbs of the same grade. He looked up at Su Qingning again, thinking that the other party was able to produce so many medicinal herbs at such a young age, and his identity must be extraordinary, so he wanted to make friends with her.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, he smiled and said, "Young Master, I see that the quality of your medicinal materials is all top-notch. If you follow the price I just quoted, you might be at a disadvantage."

"How about this, I won't take advantage of you. I'll raise the price a little bit. One primary-level herb is ten gold coins, and one mid-level herb is twenty gold coins. What do you think?" Shopkeeper Liu said carefully.

Su Qingning is in need of money right now. Since others are offering her money, she naturally has no reason to refuse.

"Okay, thank you." Su Qingning said thank you lightly.

"You're too polite, young master. You deserve it."

After saying this, Shopkeeper Liu picked up an abacus and began to count as he moved it, "One primary-grade herb is ten gold coins, eighty-eight primary-grade herbs are eight hundred and eighty gold coins; one mid-grade herb is twenty gold coins, forty mid-grade herbs are eight hundred gold coins, and all together they make one thousand six hundred and eighty gold coins. So, since your herbs are all of the highest quality, I'll round it up and give you one thousand seven hundred gold coins!"

"Okay, thank you very much." Su Qingning nodded slightly in agreement. After all, if you have the money but don't make it, you're a fool. There's no need for her to be hard on money.

Besides, she didn't worry at all whether the other party's show of goodwill was malicious; because Su Qingning could feel that Manager Liu had no hostility towards her, she could probably guess the other party's purpose in doing so.

It was simply because he felt that her identity was not simple and wanted to make friends with her. Su Qingning was naturally happy to see this happen. After all, she would have to sell some medicinal herbs and potions in the future, and it would be nice to have a buyer who offered a generous price.

Of course, the most important point is that Su Qingning is afraid of trouble. What she hates most in her life is negotiating deals with merchants, so the simpler the better! She doesn't want to go to other pharmacies to negotiate, which is both energy-consuming and time-consuming.

"Young Master, you're welcome." Shopkeeper Liu smiled kindly and said, "Please show me your Spirit Card and I'll transfer the gold coins to you."

Hearing this, Su Qingning's eyes showed a hint of embarrassment, "Sorry, I don't have a spiritual card, can you please just give me gold coins?"

Hearing Su Qingning's words, Shopkeeper Liu and Xie Yichen, who had been staring at Su Qingning with interest, both showed surprised expressions.

According to their guess, Su Qingning was able to produce so many high-quality medicinal materials at such a young age, so her identity must be extraordinary. She might be the apprentice of a pharmacist, or a disciple of a pharmacist family.

However, no matter what your identity is, you should not be without a spiritual card!

Spirit cards are actually the same as bank cards in the 22nd century. They are both tools for storing money and spirit coins.

Spirit cards are divided into different levels, from low to high: copper card, silver card, gold card, and amethyst card.

Shopkeeper Liu came back to his senses from his daze. He smiled awkwardly and said apologetically, "Sorry, please wait a moment."

After saying that, Shopkeeper Liu probed his mental power into his storage ring, counted out 1,700 gold coins, and poured them onto the counter.

"Young master, here are 1,700 gold coins. Please count them!" said Manager Liu with a smile.

"No need, I believe you." Su Qingning said, then raised her hand and waved it, collecting all the gold coins into the space.

Seeing that Su Qingning had such confidence in his character, Manager Liu had a better impression of the young boy in front of him, and the smile on his face became more kind.

"Young Master, it's a pleasure working with you. I hope we can have a chance to cooperate again next time." Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile, a hint of anticipation in his tone.

When it comes to the next cooperation, Su Qingning did not refuse. She nodded gently and said, "Okay, let's cooperate next time."

After saying that, Su Qingning turned around and prepared to leave. Shopkeeper Liu quickly said, "Young Master, take care."

Su Qingning waved her hand in response, but she walked out hurriedly because she really couldn't stand Xie Yichen's staring eyes anymore. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would not be able to help but beat someone up.

Just now in the pharmacy, although Su Qingning didn't look at Xie Yichen the whole time, she did pay attention to him when she entered.

Xie Yichen was wearing a light blue brocade robe, with a tall and graceful figure, a beautiful face, eyes like stars, and a smile on his face. He was truly a handsome and noble young man.

But Su Qingning couldn't understand why such a handsome boy didn't look at the beautiful woman, but instead stared at her, an ordinary freckled child. Is there something wrong with his brain, or does he have some strange habit?

Thinking of this, Su Qingning suddenly got goose bumps all over her body and walked faster.

Xie Yichen watched Su Qingning's back as she hurriedly and almost fled, and couldn't help but chuckle.

When Shopkeeper Liu heard Xie Yichen's sudden laughter, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Third Young Master?" Shopkeeper Liu's voice was filled with three parts of doubt and seven parts of uneasiness.

Xie Yichen glanced at Shopkeeper Liu slowly and praised him, saying, "You did a great job today. I am very satisfied."

"Ah?" Shopkeeper Liu looked up in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that he had received praise from Xie Yichen.

You should know that Xie Yichen is the smartest and most talented among the new generation of disciples of the Xie family. Because he is good enough and has the capital to be proud, few people can catch his eye and get his praise.

Moreover, after hearing that he had become a summoner, the Xie family head also intended to make him his heir. Therefore, he handed over all the Xie family assets to Xie Yichen early on.

Xie Yichen did not disappoint everyone's expectations. His business talent was amazing, and the Xie family's business was thriving under his management.

His ability convinced the other disciples of the Xie family, and they all tacitly accepted his status as the heir. Now, all they had to do was wait for the next opening of the Xie family secret realm. Once Xie Yichen contracted the White Tiger, they would be able to legitimately become the young master of the Xie family.
