Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

At this point, Yovan quickly covered his mouth.

He seemed to realize that he had let something slip and hastily explained, "But, such a treasure bead is only sought after by those Great Mages, and they often have other substitutes embedded in their magic wands, so it's not easy to trade..."

Cao Xing chuckled, the more Yovan tried to cover it up, the more it showcased the preciousness of the Moonlight Treasure Pearl.

Though Cao Xing could use it himself, embedding it in a weapon to increase damage,

a weapon could only embed one bead, and Cao Xing had three. Therefore, he could sell the other two.

At this moment, Yovan gradually regained his composure and then asked, "Lord, are you selling the Moonlight Treasure Pearl you have?"

He no longer addressed Cao Xing as a kid, nor did his tone carry the previous arrogance.

Cao Xing smiled, "Depends on the price you offer."

Yovan pondered for a moment and then gritted his teeth, "Alright, I'll bleed once, twenty thousand crowns, and I'll take that bead!"

Hearing this, Cao Xing rolled his eyes directly and then turned away with his team.

"Wait... wait a minute!"

Cao Xing didn't want to bother with him, the price this guy offered was not sincere, just trying to take advantage.

Yovan suddenly became anxious, "Lord, thirty thousand, I'll give thirty thousand crowns!"

"If not, fifty thousand! Fifty thousand will do!"

Cao Xing turned around and said, "You have no intention to trade sincerely, there's no need to waste both our time."

Saying this, he continued to lead his team away.

But Yovan trotted with his short legs, trying hard to catch up.

However, with his level 10 strength, he couldn't catch up to Cao Xing and the others.

The merchant suddenly became anxious, looked at the guard team behind, and commanded, "Stop them for me!"

Those guards seemed a bit hesitant.

After all, they had no conflict with Cao Xing, and the other party's strength was quite formidable.

For a moment, no one made a move.

Yovan was instantly infuriated, "You guys, do you disobey my orders now? Be careful, I'll report your defiance to the Youlan Kingdom's Royal Family!"

"Hurry up and stop these people for me!"

Hearing this, the guards sighed and then drew their weapons, blocking Cao Xing's team's path.

Cao Xing glanced at the stance of these people, then gave Yovan a light look and asked, "Are you sure you want to stop us?"

"If some consequence arises, it won't be something we can control."

His tone wasn't heavy, but it carried an icy feeling.

Yovan just about to speak,

but he felt the gaze full of killing intent from Cao Xing and his henchmen.

At that moment, Yovan felt like he was being stared at by a pack of ferocious wolves!

The merchants' instinct to avoid death kicked in, but he looked at the guards beside him and gradually gained confidence.

Yovan sneered, "Kid, don't be too arrogant. Though your subordinates are strong, they are just a bunch of second-order creatures, compared to my third-tier guards, the gap is vast!"

"I advise you to sell the Moonlight Treasure Pearl to me, or bear the consequences!"

Cao Xing heard this, already with a smile on his lips.

He raised his magic wand.

Seeing this action, Assam and the others understood.

They all prepared for battle, and as soon as Cao Xing gave the word, they would rush over and take down this merchant.

At this moment, Yovan suddenly sensed a terrifying sense of crisis enveloping him.

Sarah, hidden in the shadows, had long locked onto him, and once the battle started, Yovan wouldn't survive a second.

Just when the battle was about to break out,

a mature female voice came from a carriage behind, "Yovan, what are you doing?"

Hearing this voice, Yovan immediately straightened up.

He turned around, respectfully addressing the carriage, "Back to Lady Marita, we stumbled upon a kid claiming to be a lord, with a Moonlight Treasure Pearl on him."

"I thought Princess Fulan, Her Highness, is preparing to break through to Great Mage lately, so I wanted to offer it as a gift to Princess Fulan."

"Hmph!"

A cold snort came from inside the carriage.

"Yovan, I've reiterated at meetings multiple times that the Moon God Trading House must not resort to coercive buyouts.

"And this is how you do business?

"No wonder the reputation of our Moon God Trading House is deteriorating, it's because of people like you!"

Meanwhile, the carriage curtain was lifted, and a noblewoman stepped out, dressed in an elegant deep blue gown, draped with a thick ermine fur.

Her appearance exuded maturity, her golden hair styled atop her head adorned with various exquisite accessories.

Her face also bore a hint of competence, looking like a career woman.

Seeing Yovan, the noblewoman's eyebrows carried a trace of anger.

"Yovan, if it weren't for me deciding to accompany you this time to walk the trade routes and do an investigation,

"I wouldn't have known that this is how you do business."

"After this, there's no need for you to stay at the Moon God Trading House."

Hearing this last sentence, the smile on Yovan's face instantly vanished, and he trembled all over, quickly kneeling down.

Yovan pleaded, "Lady Marita, I was wrong, I beg your mercy, don't kick me out of the Moon God Trading House!"

The merchant seemed very afraid of this noblewoman before him.

Cao Xing glanced at the mature woman's attributes.

[Youlan Kingdom: Marita Vergas]

[Belonging Force: Youlan Kingdom]

[Level:???]

[Attribute:???]

[Skill:???]

[Talent:???]

…

Besides her name, other attributes were unviewable.

Cao Xing's eyes condensed because this indicated that the woman before him likely had strength above level 30.

In other words, a Fourth Rank powerhouse!
