After Madam Xue became a rare alchemist, everyone looked at her with respect and envy.

Of course, there were many who were jealous, but no one had ever spoken rubbish to her in such a blunt and disdainful tone.

It also makes people feel it more intuitively.

——What he denied was not the work, but his own existence.

Madam Xue bit her lower lip lightly with her pearly teeth, a hint of embarrassment and shame appearing on her face, which she was aware of.

To be fair, the bet was between her and her friend, but she innocently dragged the child into it. After using the other party to win the bet, she did not intend to deliver the clothes that were clearly priced.

I even want to trick the other person into competing with me to reduce the vague sense of guilt.

In the child's calm and clear eyes, how despicable is her image at this moment?

"I owe you this." Mrs. Xue sighed.

"You can ask for compensation, as long as it's not excessive, I will satisfy you."

She took a step back, opened her space ring, and a bunch of strange things poured out.

There were strangely shaped wooden dolls with many nails stuck in them, a mini windmill with an uneven bottom but standing steadily on the counter, transparent blue gel droplets that bounced like jelly and were visible to the naked eye, and extremely expensive pocket swords inlaid with various gems... Dozens of things were piled up into a small mountain.

"These are some alchemical works I have made before, which have not been publicly displayed. You can choose one from them. Or you can keep this opportunity and come to me again when you need it in the future. I will customize a work for you for free." She promised.

Accomplished alchemists were generally divided up and fought over by various noble families, and rarely worked for outsiders. Considering her status, doing this was already considered very polite.

But Miaomiao shook her head and smiled, then refused: "You don't need to compensate for anything. The deal between us wasn't completed in the first place."

Before he and the clerk completed the entire process of delivering the gold coins and goods, they were stopped by Mrs. Xue who came. The ownership of the goods was still in the store, so when Mrs. Xue took the clothes back, Miaomiao didn't say much.

If the delivery process had already been completed and the clothes were his, no matter how much Mrs. Xue hinted at him, he would not return them. He had always had a strong possessiveness for things that belonged to him. He could throw them away if they broke, but he could never let someone else take them away.

After hearing his refusal, Mrs. Xue felt even more uneasy.

"You helped me win the bet, so let me at least make it up to you a little." She bit her plump lower lip, thought for a moment, and suggested, "If you don't need it, maybe you want to give your friend a gift?"

Her eyes fell on Chi who was standing beside her. This boy, who was particularly cold and rude to her, seemed to have a close relationship with the boy in front of her.

However, Chi had already taken a step ahead of Miaomiao and said coldly, "I don't need it."

Compared to Miaomiao's gentleness and courtesy, he, who is a fantasy beast himself, is much simpler and rougher.

Like it or not, it is all expressed directly on the surface.

Although he didn't say much at this moment and let Miaomiao decide the outcome of the matter, the occasional look he gave to Madam Xue was very eye-catching, and the feeling of contempt could be felt immediately without words.

Madam Xue: “…”

That look of looking at trash again.

She truly regretted it now.

I regretted asking Miaomiao a question just now, and I also regretted having to make this bet with my friend.

In the process of practicing magic, the state of mind has a huge impact. If you are always trapped by the knot in your heart, your magic realm will also stagnate.

Cultivation is the process of praying to the God of Law for a response, but how can a guy who is even convinced that he is a terrible person impress that God with his firm belief?

She looked at the clothes in her hands again and finally made a decision.

"You..." As she spoke, Mrs. Xue realized that she didn't know the black-haired boy's name.

She pursed her lips in embarrassment and continued, "Although I can't sell this dress to you for twenty gold coins, if you're willing, you can buy it for five thousand gold coins."

Five thousand gold coins, compared to the cost of the dress itself which exceeds tens of thousands, is already a very low price.

If this dress is sold at an auction, it will cost at least tens of thousands of gold coins.

If Mrs. Xue was not truly regretful and wanted to end this farce as soon as possible to prevent herself from continuing to waste time, she would never have made such a suggestion.

Miaomiao opened her mouth: "..."

Before he could utter a word, Madam Xue had already noticed the look on his face and hurriedly interrupted him, almost pleading, "Don't refuse. Give me a chance to make amends."

Miaomiao: "..."

Regardless of whether he wants to or not, he doesn't have 5,000 gold coins.

Mrs. Xue also realized this problem later and thought about it. "If you can't come up with the gold coins now, I can keep the dress for you first. When you have enough money and still want it, I will send it to you. If you don't want it later, I will still give you another chance to customize it."

"please."

She bowed to the child in front of her.

Having said that, Miaomiao looked at the woman in front of her and sighed.

"I don't know how long it will take me to save up that much money, but will it matter even if I do?"

Madam Xue nodded firmly.

"This dress will remain yours until you no longer want it."

"Trust me, it's worth a lot more than what you're going to pay."

Miaomiao raised her head upon hearing this and looked at the woman whose eyes were still filled with tears unconsciously from her anxiety, but whose face had regained its confidence and radiance.

When she talked about her area of ​​expertise, she seemed different from before.

Miaomiao thought that human beings were really changeable. He was a rookie and every face he saw seemed to be changing in a thousand ways, as if thousands of souls could be cut out of one body.

Whether beautiful or ugly, good or evil, black or white, who can tell?

He finally nodded and accepted Mrs. Xue's apology.

Mrs. Xue finally smiled.

If you stay in a high position for too long, you may lose your original intention if you are not careful. Today, these two children also taught her a lesson.

"I will remember today's lesson." She said softly with her lips slightly parted.

Miaomiao didn't hear what she said clearly, and looked up with some confusion. Madam Xue took out two ancient and heavy animal skin contracts from her space ring and said to him, "Now, let's sign the contract."

Promises are just verbal; only the contract made with the God of Law has any real effect.

If Mrs. Xue does not fulfill her promise today in the future, the backlash of the contract will make it difficult for her to move forward in the future.

Miaomiao felt her sincerity and glanced at Chi beside her, who also nodded.

He stepped forward and together with Madam Xue, pressed their fingerprints on the contract and signed it with their real names.

A flash of white light shone, and both contracts glowed brightly. Complex crimson lines extended from the text to either side. The contract was complete.

Mrs. Xue's guilty heart finally calmed down after seeing the white light come on.

She put away her copy of the contract and said, "So your name is Jiang Liujing. What a nice name you have."

Miaomiao has also learned Mrs. Xue’s real name: Xue Jun.

Although she looked very young, the real age of Mrs. Xue in front of her was actually over fifty. Rounding up, she was old enough to be Miaomiao's grandmother.

He smiled and said, "Really? My parents gave it to me." Although he had never seen the person before.

Xue Jun said, "The surname Jiang is not common in Ernst. I have met a lady named Jiang before, but she was not from Ernst. She married into the area from outside. Like you, she had beautiful black hair and black eyes. She was a very famous beauty at the time."

"She was very interested in alchemical works and would often come to talk to me. But then she and her husband left Ernst, and I haven't seen her for seven or eight years."

When she mentioned this, there was a hint of regret between her eyebrows.

She was truly a gentle woman, a true confidant. It was a pity she lacked any magical powers, leaving her too vulnerable in a land rife with predators and wolves. Even her subsequent departure seemed to harbor many mysteries.

"Her husband is a man with quite a story, actually. He used to be a well-known playboy in the Kyrgyz family, with countless beauties around him. Later, he met Miss Jiang, and gradually settled down. It became a beautiful story."

Miaomiao listened quietly, and occasionally said "hmm".

His expression was cold, as if he was just listening to the stranger's story.
