PFC Chapter 752 Little Red, a Big Shot in the Scalping World
Chapter 752 Little Red, a Big Shot in the Scalping World
"A cunning monkey."
Seeing that Qi Ruilin had chosen to make the deal, Gu Qing withdrew his gaze and a smile appeared on his face.
Qi Ruilin guessed correctly. If she couldn't even handle such a small matter, Gu Qing wouldn't bother with her.
He was willing to train Qi Ruilin and her son, but not to be their nanny. He wanted them to help him and act as his nannies.
This is only because the little monkey is the protagonist of destiny.
Otherwise, even if the mother and son were exceptionally talented, Gu Qing wouldn't be interested.
Why did you take Qi Tian as your disciple?
The Holy Mother of Stars asked in confusion.
She didn't believe that Gu Qing hadn't realized Qi Tian was a favorite of Heaven.
As far as she knew, Gu Qing was a professional hunter of destiny, an outlier under the Heavenly Dao. All the favored children of the Heavenly Dao who were discovered by Gu Qing suffered at his hands.
She didn't think Gu Qing had suddenly changed her personality.
Could it be that Gu Qing intends to fatten up Qi Tian before killing him?
That’s not right either.
She could tell that although Gu Qing treated Qi Tian badly, he genuinely regarded Qi Tian as his disciple.
If it were just chives, Gu Qing wouldn't give it a second glance, just like Fang Jixuan.
"Naturally, we want to nurture them properly and make them the face of our divine religion's combat power."
After a pause, Gu Qing added, "Of course, in the end, we still need to see what kind of character he has, whether he knows how to be grateful, and whether he has self-awareness. If he doesn't, it's not too late to get rid of him."
Whether Qi Tian had self-awareness is very important.
Many protagonists in time-travel stories claim to be clear about their gratitude and grudges, repaying kindness and avenging wrongs, but this is only lip service and a matter of thought; they never actually do anything about it.
Therefore, when he encounters this type of protagonist, he always tries to eliminate them as quickly as possible.
Some of the protagonists who are born and raised in the fantasy world have quite good personalities.
Without a system, without a stubborn and self-centered personality, without the superiority complex of a transmigrator, he always maintains a sense of awe towards the fantasy world and is grateful for kindness.
Gu Qing wouldn't mind taking on such protagonists as henchmen; having another protagonist as a subordinate means there are so many things that can be done.
In short, he would never raise an ungrateful person.
"I see!"
"Master doesn't think I want to fatten him up before killing him, does he?"
"Ok!"
"That might have been possible before, but now, the bit of luck that Heaven's favored child brings is dispensable to me."
"Let's go, let's not talk about him anymore, I need to take my master to get some jewelry."
As he spoke, Gu Qing pulled the Star Saintess into the City of Myriad Stars, intending to settle there and use the mortal energy of the city to cleanse himself of the power of the Five Decays.
Enjoy a leisurely and carefree life with the Star Mother and relax.
Gu Qing led her to the Treasure Pavilion and went straight to Xiao Hong: "Bring out all the most expensive jewelry you have here."
"what?"
Xiao Hong was overjoyed to see Gu Qing, but when she heard Gu Qing's words and saw the Star Mother beside him, she was stunned.
It hasn't been more than a few hours.
The Star Mother's cave has a time flow rate a million times faster. She has cultivated for tens of thousands of years and then went to the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons. In reality, only a few hours have passed.
Xiao Hong hasn't even gotten off work yet.
Gu Qing came again, this time with a stunningly beautiful woman.
Xiao Hong immediately sensed something unusual.
Perhaps... Gu Qing wasn't the second-generation scoundrel she thought he was, but a powerful being with extraordinary abilities.
However, whether Gu Qing is a second-generation traitor or a powerful figure with extraordinary abilities, it has nothing to do with her.
Gu Qing's arrival means she'll be showered with wealth again, earning billions of innate spirit crystals without lifting a finger.
Oh no… Xiao Hong’s expression changed.
The Treasure Pavilion no longer has that many exquisite pieces of jewelry.
Gu Qing had basically swept away all the top-tier magical artifacts and jewelry.
After all, those jewelry pieces were actually top-tier sixth-order Dao artifacts. This is why the Treasure Pavilion, especially an important branch in Wanxing City, had so many top-grade magic treasures.
Any one of the jewelry and magical treasures that Gu Qing bought would be fiercely sought after by a sixth-level God Emperor, and could be the grand finale at any auction.
For the first time, Xiao Hong felt an intense resentment towards the Treasure Pavilion, whose business spanned hundreds of prefectures, for being so poor and for not stocking up on more treasures.
Many thoughts raced through Xiao Hong's mind, and her emotions went through extreme highs and lows, from great joy to sorrow.
Seeing that Xiao Hong remained silent for a long time, Gu Qing wanted to urge her, but seeing Xiao Hong's lively and interesting changes in expression, he was not in a hurry at all and watched with great interest.
"I apologize, young master. I was out of line and made you laugh."
Xiao Hong suddenly realized what was happening and saw two pairs of eyes staring at her in surprise. Her face turned red, and she bowed and apologized.
"It's okay, you continue."
Gu Qing waved his hand, he wanted to watch a little longer, since he had nothing better to do anyway.
Xiao Hong was taken aback.
The Holy Mother of Stars remained silent for a moment.
"Stop fooling around." She said in a doting tone.
Xiao Hong felt like she had been granted a pardon, but she didn't dare to fool Gu Qing. She subtly reminded Gu Qing that the Treasure Pavilion didn't have any new goods for the time being.
However, she patted her chest and said that she knew Wanxing City very well, was a top salesperson for many businesses, an industry expert, and had a great reputation.
If Gu Qing needs it, she can take Gu Qing to other shops to buy it, ensuring that Gu Qing can buy the most expensive and beautiful jewelry.
"You can also work for other businesses?" Gu Qing asked in surprise.
It's absolutely a rare thing that there are part-time jobs in a fantasy world.
"Yes, but on the condition that you don't betray the business's interests and you have a certain sales ability. Specifics need to be discussed with the manager..."
Don't let Xiao Hong's status as a saleswoman fool you; in the outside world, she is the Holy Maiden of a Nine-Star Daoist lineage, the eldest daughter of a Nine-Star clan, a person of unparalleled nobility.
Countless geniuses and prodigies, and all living beings, must bow to her.
She was also very talented, and her beauty was like that of a fairy. She had many suitors, including many inner disciples of the Star God Sect.
These suitors often came to her to sell or buy treasures, and she never disappointed them, helping them sell their treasures at high prices and buy the treasures they desired at reasonable prices.
In addition, Wanxing City gathers almost all the super merchants of the Origin Continent, so she can also purchase goods in Wanxing City and sell them elsewhere to make a profit from the price difference.
They also sell information about Wanxing City's auctions and trade fairs, as well as invitations, which makes them very profitable.
Xiao Hong is a money-making expert and has a considerable fortune.
He wasn't the kind of pretty face who only knew how to put on airs and cultivate; almost all of his magical treasures and cultivation resources were bestowed upon him by his elders.
When they ran out of supplies, they went out to search for treasure, facing life and death along the way.
Nothing beats the ease with which she earns loads of innate spirit crystals just by talking.
"Great!"
Gu Qing praised her sincerely and immediately began to look at Xiao Hong with new eyes.
I thought he was just a small fry relying on the big picture to make a living, but I never expected him to be a big shot in the scalping industry.
Life is truly unpredictable; the greater Chang encompasses the lesser Chang.
As expected, Xiao Hong did not disappoint him. She took him to various shops and bought him the most expensive, beautiful, and gorgeous jewelry.
There are also fairy dresses, various kinds of tulle, and close-fitting clothing made of silkworm silk.
When the Star Mother saw the clothes, her face turned red. Seeing the hidden meaning in Xiao Hong's smile, she pretended to be calm and said, "Disciple, why are you buying these for your Daoist partner? You must not let romantic feelings interfere with your cultivation."
Gu Qing: "..."
Xiao Hong suddenly realized.
So... the Star Mother is the real boss.
"Phew, I see..."
The young man, his gaze fixed on the Star Mother, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "So Master was accompanying his disciple to buy it. I thought..."
He shook his head, amused by his own terrible thoughts.
How could Master possibly have a man?
However, Chen Mo never expected to encounter the Star Mother here.
"It seems this person must be Gu Qing, Master's newly accepted disciple. He looks quite respectable, but I wonder how strong he is," Chen Mo thought to himself.
