Chapter 211: Soaring Luck (5)

In the end, he said nothing, letting his hands fall dejectedly. In fact, his hands truly brought bad luck.

Su Luo glanced at the troublemaking man, then turned her gaze back to Liu Qi, her smile composed and calm: "Uncle Liu, why did you stop? Continue. What if you can't cut anything out? It's just one gold coin, isn't it? This Young Lady will just consider it paying someone to put on a raw stone cutting performance."

The man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks glared at Su Luo, secretly cursing: "Doesn't know what's good for her!"

Su Luo couldn't be bothered to argue with such a petty person. The truth, when it came out, would be the real slap in his Face.

Liu Qi concentrated and made two more cuts from the side.

To everyone's disappointment, what was cut out was still off-white, without a trace of color.

"Hmph—" The man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks let out a sneer, "I told you, Liu Qi's unlucky hands will never cut out a crystal stone in his life. If he could cut out a red crystal stone…"

"If he could cut out a raw stone, what would you do?" Su Luo squinted at him. She always disliked petty people who came to snatch business at others' doorsteps.

She wouldn't deliberately target such people, but if someone insisted on bumping into her, then they shouldn't blame her for being impolite.

The man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks had originally just said it casually, but who knew he'd be cornered by Su Luo. He was also a person who cared about Face, and he firmly believed that Liu Qi couldn't cut out a crystal stone. He immediately slammed the table and declared: "If he cuts out a crystal stone, even if it's a red crystal stone, I, Hou San, will swallow this raw stone immediately!"

Su Luo followed Hou San's gaze. The raw stone he pointed to was as big as a washbasin.

Swallow this raw stone?

"Hmm, that can be arranged. Since that's the case, I ask everyone present to bear witness." Su Luo saw the crowd gradually gathering, and she smiled sinisterly and cunningly, "Of course, I won't let you suffer a loss. If Uncle Liu can't cut out a crystal stone, This Young Lady will immediately compensate you one hundred gold coins."

Don't think that just because Su Luo casually mentions so many gold coins, that gold coins are worthless.

In fact, for ordinary people, gold coins are still very valuable. Many common folk hardly have any gold coins; all that circulates are silver and copper coins.

"Good! I, Hou San, will bet with you! Everyone, be a witness!" Hou San's Face immediately lit up with joy.

Liu Qi's shop hadn't cut out a crystal stone for a whole year, so how could it be such a coincidence that one would be cut out today? Besides, he had already made three cuts, and there was nothing. By all appearances, it was impossible to cut out a crystal stone.

One hundred gold coins! As long as he agreed, that would be a full one hundred gold coins, enough for him to squander for quite a while. He'd be a fool to refuse such a good offer.

At this moment, Liu Qi became a bit nervous, his hands trembling slightly. He truly had no confidence in his unlucky hands: "Young Lady, why don't you… why don't you do it yourself?"

Unexpectedly, Su Luo smiled and waved her hand, her smile casual and calm: "It's fine, you continue cutting. Perhaps your luck will turn around next. Your luck may be bad, but This Young Lady's luck has always been incredibly good."

"I hope so." Liu Qi forced a smile, but he didn't really believe it. He reluctantly made the last cut.

So many cuts had yielded nothing, there was no need to hope for this last one either.

Liu Qi dropped the cutting knife and was about to apologize to Su Luo, but who knew, when he looked up, he saw everyone around him gasping in astonishment.
