Chapter 257: Gao Tian'ai
"I won't sell him, no matter how much you offer," Jiang Chen said firmly .
The girl had fair skin and thin lips . Her eyebrows were arched, her mouth small . She was a lovely girl .
Not until then did she set her eyes on Jiang Chen . She was surprised at the refusal, but she found it interesting .
"Are you sure?" Her voice sounded beautiful . She was smiling .
"I'm sure . "
"What about 10 million low-grade yuan stones?"
The girl was beaming, looking at Jiang Chen slyly .
She was curious whether Jiang Chen would still stay calm when he heard the price .
"Nope," Jiang Chen said .
"Oh?"
The girl was surprised . The smile faded from her face .
She could always get what she wanted .
She had expected Jiang Chen to be pleasantly surprised when he heard her offer and embarrassed by his refusal . He would be in a dilemma and too embarrassed to accept her offer, but in the end he would give Whitty to her .
"Alright . Make way, please," Jiang Chen said and left with Whitty .
She became more irritated when Whitty looked back at her . His blue eyes were full of sarcasm, like a little boy making a grimace at her .
"Who the heck are you?"
The girl couldn't swallow it . She walked into the crowd and kept following Jiang Chen and Whitty . Under her gaze, they entered a shop .
She looked up at the shop sign and found it was a spiritual herb shop .
Soon, Jiang Chen walked out of there with Whitty . He looked disappointed .
The girl walked into the shop quickly and asked the salesperson, "A guy came in here with a tiger a minute ago . What was he looking for?"
"Eh?" The salesperson didn't feel it appropriate to tell her .
"Miss Gao, welcome . That youngster asked for some spiritual herbs . All of them were very special . We have none here . I suggested that he go to the Sacred Wind Chamber of Commerce," the manager of the shop recognized her and told her immediately with respect .
The girl went back to the street and walked towards the Sacred Wind Chamber of Commerce . She saw the youngster and the white tiger, as expected .
They suddenly turned into a small alley .
That's not the way to the Sacred Wind Chamber of Commerce .
The girl was puzzled . She followed them into the alley as well without thinking too much, but she didn't Jiang Chen and Whitty there .
"Miss, what do you want?"
Jiang Chen's voice came from behind .
The girl was given a good scare . She turned around and saw Jiang Chen standing there . He had a light smile on his face . In comparison, Whitty was the unfriendly one this time . His eyes had turned red .
"When did you realize?" the girl asked .
"I asked you first . "
The girl curled her lips . She rolled her eyes and said, "No offense . I'm just curious about your mount . "
"Stop following me or you'll regret it," Jiang Chen said coldly . He didn't want to waste his time with her .
"Wait . "
The girl hurried to follow him when she saw him leaving . She said, "I can see you're not familiar with the Sacred City, and you need to buy some things, right?"
"Yeah?"
"I can be your guide . I know every street here well . "
Without waiting for Jiang Chen's response, the girl smiled and said, "We'll be friends then . Can I pet your mount when we become friends?"
Jiang Chen didn't speak for a while and then said, "Whitty has his own temper . You can only pet him if he likes you . "
"No problem . Everyone in the Sacred City likes me . "
The girl squatted down and took out a piece of delicious bacon from somewhere . She was tempting Whitty with it .
"Whitty, you want it?" said the girl .
Whitty, who had been so cool, suddenly became crazy . His eyes had turned blue again . He was drooling, but he managed to restrain himself and turn his head to the side .
The girl was amused . She held the bacon out to him . Whitty kept turning his head aside until he couldn't turn it more .
"Miss, my mount has been through very strict training . He won't eat strangers' food, you know, to avoid poison," Jiang Chen said unhappily .
"Alright . "
The girl took the bacon back and looked towards Jiang Chen . She said, "You look younger than me, but sound quite mature . Come on . I'll show you the way to the Sacred Wind Chamber of Commerce . "
"Let me introduce myself . I'm Gao Tian'ai from the family with the inheritance of phoenix blood, the Gaos," the girl introduced herself proudly . Jiang Chen slipped into a daze . What a coincidence .
"Miss Gao," Jiang Chen said .
"And you?"
"Jiang Chen . "
"And?"
Gao Tian'ai was surprised that Jiang Chen had only told her his name without mentioning his background .
"Okay . Let's go . "
Then she took Jiang Chen to the Sacred Wind Chamber of Commerce .
With the introduction of Gao Tian'ai, Jiang Chen came to learn this was one of the biggest chambers of commerce in the Sacred City .
"I can't guarantee you'll find what you want here, but if you can't find it here, you won't find it in other parts of the Nine Heavens Continent, either," Gao Tian'ai said .
The chamber of commerce was full of people, very busy .
It was much bigger than what Jiang Chen had imagined . There were six floors . On each floor, there were a great variety of goods .
The price and rarity of the goods were different on each floor .
"How much are the spiritual herbs you want to buy?" Gao Tian'ai asked .
She would know which floor they should go to based on the price .
"Let's go to the top floor first," Jiang Chen said .
Gao Tian'ai didn't hesitate . She took him to the fifth floor and said, "The sixth floor is for auction . Usually, it's not open . "
Jiang Chen found a bizarre scene on the fifth floor . More than half of the shops on this floor had nothing to do with practice, but they were the most popular ones .
There were many customers in a shop called Battle Suit . It was a clothes shop .
There were suits for adventures . The men's suits looked handsome and the women's looked exquisite . Besides the good design, they could be used as spiritual weapons, too .
They could be called spiritual suits, very similar to spiritual armor, but a spiritual suit was ten times the price of a spiritual armor set, and its defense was worse .
"Just because they're pretty?" Jiang Chen asked curiously .
"Of course not . The spiritual suits sold in this shop are all designed by Master Yun Lan . It represents good taste!" Gao Tian'ai said .
"Taste?"
Jiang Chen shook his head . The Sacred City was the biggest city in the Nine Heavens Continent . It was so rich that the people here were questing for different things .
Suddenly, they heard a woman's harsh voice .
"Since when does Gao Tian'ai have a boy-toy?"
Some rich ladies walked out of the shop . They happened to see Gao Tian'ai and Jiang Chen .
They sized Jiang Chen up with their sharp eyes, then gave a meaningful smile .
Jiang Chen realized that in a place like the Sacred City, one's social position could be decided by his clothes .
He didn't feel anything weird when he was walking with Gao Tian'ai, but the local people could see they weren't a good match .
On the other hand, Jiang Chen was young and handsome, so many people had assumed he was Gao Tian'ai's boy-toy .
"So that was why people were giving me strange looks on our way here . " Jiang Chen found it both funny and annoying .
