Chapter 215: Teasing the Dandy (3)
Hou San was the one who had previously bet with Su Luo that if he lost, he would chew and swallow the entire raw stone. Now, seeing that Su Luo could even force the brocade-robed young master to leave, he immediately felt the urge to run away. But who told Su Luo to have such sharp eyes?
"Heh heh, what are you saying, Miss? I, Hou San, always keep my word. Who's trying to run away?" Seeing that all escape routes were blocked by the crowd, Hou San had no choice but to stop. Turning back, he smiled fawningly at Su Luo.
Su Luo crossed her arms, her foot resting on the raw stone that had been the subject of the bet. She glanced sideways at Hou San with a half-smile. "You keep your word, huh? That's just perfect. Come on, hurry up and eat this raw stone."
Really chew on a raw stone? His teeth weren't that hard, okay? Hou San's face fell. He repeatedly bowed to Su Luo, begging for mercy. "Miss, you are generous. Please be kind and spare this humble one. This raw stone, I truly can't chew it. If I could chew it, why would we need machines to cut stones?"
Su Luo hadn't actually intended to make him chew it. After all, the outer layer of the raw stone was so thick that teeth couldn't possibly make a dent. Furthermore, according to the Little Divine Dragon's detection, the contents inside this particular stone were not bad. She couldn't bear to let a scoundrel like Hou San swallow it for nothing.
But to let Hou San off so easily? How could Su Luo, who sought revenge for the smallest grievance and whose heart was smaller than a needle's eye, possibly agree?
She slowly hooked the raw stone with her toe, then picked it up and tossed it up and down in her hand, a playful smile on her lips. "Then tell me, what should we do?"
Hearing a hint of flexibility in Su Luo's words, Hou San immediately beamed, smiling obsequiously and flatteringly. "Miss, your luck is so good, we can't let it go to waste. How about this, I'll just give you this raw stone? Then we'll be even, how about that?"
"Be even so easily? Do you think that's possible?" Satisfying Su Luo, who was about to make a hefty demand, was truly not an easy task.
"Then… then what do you think, Miss? You say it. As long as it's something I can do, as long as it doesn't go against my conscience or morals, I, Hou San, will agree to anything!" Hou San patted his chest, looking righteous. Could a girl who could force even the brocade-robed young master to run away be simple? If she insisted on forcing him to swallow it, what could he do?
"I won't ask you to go against your conscience or morals," Su Luo smiled faintly. "This raw stone weighs about ten kilograms. How about this: I'll pick out nine more from your pile of stones, making a total of ten raw stones. Then, this debt will be cleared, how about that?"
Give away ten raw stones for free? Each of these raw materials cost five or six gold coins! But, in order to fulfill that bet, Hou San had no choice but to agree. "Alright! I'll do as Miss says!"
Su Luo's face remained calm, but inwardly, she was delighted.
Poor Hou San had no idea that because of the Little Divine Dragon, that super cheat, Su Luo had already surveyed all the raw materials at Hou San's stall. When it was her turn to choose, she would naturally pick all the good ones, leaving behind only waste.
Heh heh, didn't you, Hou San, mock Liu Qi for not being able to cut out a single crystal in a year? Then I'll let you taste the feeling of not being able to cut out a single crystal for a year. Let's see if you dare to badmouth people randomly in the future.
"Alright, these ten will do." Su Luo seemingly pointed casually at nine stones, but in reality, she had already picked out all the raw stones that contained crystals.
