Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 1944 - 1941: Why Don’t You Just Rob Me?

"Of course, I’m taking you shopping." Li Jiayin said with a giggle, "You saved my father, and he will surely thank you profusely. He is bound to reward you with many precious treasures."

"I want to reward you too, but I don’t have so many rare treasures, so I can only take you here to try your luck and see if you can pick up a bargain."

Li Jiayin’s sweet smile was completely different from the image of the Iceberg Beauty that was rumored within the Heavenly Nether Sect.

Once someone manages to break into her heart, they can witness her warm and beautiful smile like the warm sun.

"A bargain? That’s not easy to come by." Xu Wendong muttered softly. He knew very well that there were as many people looking to pick up bargains as there were hairs on an ox, but those who truly struck lucky were one in a million.

On the contrary, there were countless people who, out of greed, ended up being tricked into losing everything.

"You don’t have to worry about that; your senior sister has plenty of tricks up her sleeve." Li Jiayin said confidently, her smile full of assurance and composure.

The two walked side by side into Wu Family City, heading directly toward the bustling market area in Dongcheng.

The place was bustling, primarily dealing with all kinds of transactions, people coming and going in an endless stream.

The street was packed with people, Xu Wendong and Li Jiayin merged into the bustling crowd and entered a busy street.

On this street, many people were setting up stalls, displaying a dazzling array of treasures, an array so vast as to make one’s eyes dazzle.

However, in Xu Wendong’s eyes, most of these treasures were quite ordinary, failing to catch his discerning eye.

"This is the trading street of Wu Family City, where people from all over the Heavenly Nether Domain come to trade, and many set up stalls here."

"If they have something they can’t use, they’ll put it up for sale and exchange it for what they need. Therefore, there are often opportunities to pick up bargains here." Li Jiayin introduced enthusiastically to Xu Wendong.

She was very familiar with the place, her eyes showing a hint of warmth and nostalgia, as if it carried many of her cherished memories.

Hearing this, Xu Wendong couldn’t help but smile.

He was curious about what kind of tricks Li Jiayin had that would enable her to successfully snatch up bargains here.

"Oh? I found a treasure in no time!" Li Jiayin’s eyes suddenly lit up, filled with an excited glow, like stars twinkling in the night sky.

Like a chirpy little bird, she quickly walked over to a stall.

Her gaze locked onto a small sculpture, uniquely shaped and exuding a mysterious aura, as if it was calling out to her...

At that stall, seven or eight items were placed neatly, each exuding its own distinct aura, looking quite extraordinary.

Rich Yin Energy swirled like black smoke around these items, coiling and weaving like living snakes.

More intriguingly, there was a faint trace of Soul Power subtly oscillating, akin to ripples hidden beneath a calm lake surface, occasionally surfacing, causing the air around to vibrate slightly.

This peculiar scene was like a magnet, attracting any passing cultivators.

Their gazes were involuntarily drawn to these items, and they stopped to watch, eyes filled with curiosity.

If a cultivator had keen insight and could see through the mystical nature of these items, they would undoubtedly snatch them up without hesitation, hoping to gain a monumental opportunity.

However, the intricacies were complex; once one misjudged and mistook ordinary items for treasures, they would simply have to accept their bad luck and suffer a complete loss.

"If either of you has your eyes on something, feel free to speak up. What I sell here is fair and true; it’s all real treasures."

The stall owner was a middle-aged man, robust and stout, like a small mountain standing there.

Despite his seemingly honest face, a shrewdness glinted in his eyes, constantly observing the expressions of passersby, not missing any potential buyers.

"How much for this?" As soon as Li Jiayin stepped forward, her gaze fixed on the sculpture she had her heart set on, her eyes flashing with uncontrollable affection.

She reached out and took the sculpture in her hands, playing with it gently.

Her fingers softly caressed the sculpture’s surface, her gaze focused and tender, as though she were stroking a rare treasure, and anyone could see her affection for the item.

The stall owner, cunning as he was, secretly rejoiced upon seeing this and immediately approached enthusiastically with a smile full of warmth, "Miss, you really have a good eye; this is the best treasure I have here."

"This item I acquired from an old tomb; I’m not sure exactly what it’s called."

"But look, there’s a dense swirl of Soul Power around this sculpture. I suspect there’s a significant opportunity hidden within."

"When I obtained this item, it took an enormous effort, overcoming countless obstacles, so the price..."

As he spoke, he waved a finger in the air, deliberately leaving a mystery.

"A hundred Nether Crystals? I’ll take it," Li Jiayin’s eyes immediately lit up when she heard this, quickly preparing to pay, swift as though afraid the treasure would be snatched by someone else.

However, the stall owner immediately widened his eyes, a surprised expression on his face as though he heard something unbelievable.

He took a deep breath and said with a forced smile, "Miss, you misunderstood, I meant a million Nether Crystals!"

As soon as he said that.

Xu Wendong froze in place, his eyes filled with disbelief.

What a joke? A mere sculpture, yet he demanded such an outrageous price?

Confused, he couldn’t help but utilize the Nine Netherworlds Manual to carefully examine the sculpture.

His gaze turned incredibly sharp, as if it could pierce through the surface of the sculpture to its core.

However, after a thorough examination, he found nothing extraordinary.

He concluded that perhaps the Soul Power embedded in the sculpture was artificially infused later; it was actually just an ordinary sculpture, devoid of any mystical properties or so-called opportunities.

"Why don’t you just rob it?" Xu Wendong’s tone was full of disdain and sarcasm.

"Robbery isn’t as profitable as this trade," the stall owner replied with a faint smile, a hint of cunning in his grin.

He offered Xu Wendong no friendly expressions.

In his view, Xu Wendong was too shrewd and not easy to deceive.

However, Li Jiayin appeared particularly naive, looking every bit the easy mark.

"A million is too much; how about nine hundred thousand?" Li Jiayin blinked, her face earnest as she said.

Xu Wendong felt a wave of helplessness, couldn’t help but rub his forehead, a bitter smile emerging on his face, wondering if his senior sister was too easily swayed.
