Chapter 334 Why are you scaring him?
Yunyin walked to a stall, the darkness beneath her following her like a shadow.
There were all sorts of ornaments on it. Yunyin's clear, mirror-like eyes swept over them, and she picked up an exquisite emerald green jade bracelet. It was carved with strange and unknown patterns, but it was pleasing to the eye.
"Grandma, what are the patterns carved on this jade bracelet?"
She lowered her head slightly, and her gentle voice softly reached the stall owner's ears, warming his heart.
The stall owner was an elderly woman in her sixties. In this world, without opportunities, family background, or talent, the mortal realm is the limit for most ordinary people. This old woman was at the second level of the mortal realm, and she had obviously tried her best, but she knew that she could only be an ordinary person in her life.
Those in the mortal realm are basically only good at strengthening their bodies and do not have the ability to split mountains and cleave rocks. Their lifespan is no different from that of ordinary people, with a hundred years being the limit.
Most people die of old age in their seventies or eighties.
Upon seeing Yunyin and her pure, untainted smile, even the old woman was taken aback. However, being past the age of fifty, she didn't care that Yunyin might have a great background and smiled.
“Young lady, these are a batch of bracelets that my husband carved before he passed away. The jade bracelet in your hand is carved with a scene that he and I once saw. It is a landscape of mountains, water, green stones and waterfalls.”
Yunyin's heart stirred.
"How many gold coins?"
The old woman was taken aback again, looked at the girl who seemed to come from a wealthy family, and waved her hand.
"Where is the need for gold coins? This jade is worthless."
"Looking at your beauty, I don't know why, but I feel that you are very suitable for this jade bracelet with natural green engraving. It was originally four silver coins, but I will only charge you two silver coins."
Yunyin muttered something in a low voice.
"Little Black, what does four silver coins mean?"
"..."
Why aren't you saying anything?
"In most parts of the empire, one gold coin is worth ten silver coins, and one silver coin is worth ten copper coins. There should be another currency below copper coins, but since Gu is starting with pseudo-innate level, he can't really access anything too basic."
"Two silver coins are not cheap in this area."
"As for star coins... well, they are a currency used between star systems. One star coin can be exchanged for about a thousand gold coins on Canglan Star..."
Yunyin: ...
"girl?"
"Don't you like it anymore?"
The old woman clearly hadn't considered that Yunyin was struggling financially, because Yunyin's clothes and appearance certainly didn't resemble those of a commoner's daughter.
Although it wasn't the kind of financial difficulty the old woman thought she was facing.
However, the face value is too high.
They're also struggling with money.
What a pity.
Earth's cloud sound is not abundant.
Yunyin, who used to be very frugal with all her expenses, was now worried about how to spend all the money she had.
"that..."
"Grandma, I'll take all the bracelets here. How about one star coin?"
"All...all included?"
"Star Coins?"
The old woman repeated it, somewhat bewildered.
Obviously, it's normal for ordinary people at her level not to know about Star Coins.
Just as I was about to ask what Star Coins were, the young man selling steamed buns next to me had his eyes light up and said...
"Old man, just accept it! This is an incredible fortune! I'm so envious."
"All these ornaments you have, along with your wooden cart, probably don't even amount to a hundred gold coins, right?"
“These star coins can be exchanged for thousands of gold coins at major auction houses or pawn shops.”
"It's said to be the currency that circulates between planets. Hey beautiful, can I take a look? I've never seen star currency before."
Upon hearing that the star coins were worth a fortune, the old man quickly waved his hand.
"No, no, I can't take such a big advantage of you, young lady."
"This old woman has never seen so much money in her entire life."
Even if you may not be short of money.
"But I simply can't accept this with a clear conscience."
Just as Yunyin was struggling with how to get the old woman to accept it, or whether to give up,
A clear male voice sounded from behind.
"Sir, this young lady's jade bracelet is on me. I'll take two more. You don't mind, do you?"
Yunyin turned her head in the direction of the sound and only then noticed him.
Clearly, his status should be higher than Yunyin's, since he didn't even notice her when he got close.
As for how much higher, Yunyin didn't know.
This is a man in a blue robe whose features are fairly decent.
They seemed to realize that the situation was somewhat awkward.
They stepped in to help.
As for the purpose.
Yunyin indicated that the decision is pending.
The man was clearly taken aback for a moment when Yunyin turned around, then smiled slightly at her and stepped forward to hand the old woman a gold coin.
"Of course, no problem."
The old woman took the gold coin, and with a crisp clinking sound, she put it into a cloth bag mixed with silver and copper coins.
"Please choose whichever you like; the prices are all about the same."
The man in the blue robe did not make any selections, but instead gestured for Yunyin to speak with a smile.
"Miss, is there anything else you want? Just take what you like, no need to worry about the money."
Yunyin smiled gently.
"Thank you, but..."
"You've misunderstood. It's not that I'm short of money, it's just that this old lady won't take my money."
“Perfect, you can take this star coin. Judging from your status here, you shouldn’t be too polite to me.”
"Consider it a favor, I'll pay for it. Just consider it a token of my kindness."
As she spoke, Yunyin took out a coin with a strange, pale golden halo and placed it in the open palm of the man in the blue robe.
This action left the nearby vendors wide-eyed and pounding their chests in disbelief.
He was clearly filled with regret; if he had been more generous, wouldn't that star coin have been his?
However, even if time could be reversed and he could do it all over again, he still wouldn't do it.
One should have self-awareness.
Just as Yunyin was examining the patterns on the jade bracelet that the old woman had mentioned, and was about to turn and leave.
The man quickly recovered from his daze; for some reason, the hand felt unusually heavy, and he naturally knew the value of the star coins.
Although his family background was indeed quite good, he wouldn't just casually give away his valuable possessions.
This was clearly unexpected and didn't match his usual flirting tactics.
"Miss, please wait... I don't know..."
The words have not yet fallen.
The man in the blue robe felt a gust of cold wind brush past his ear.
Immediately afterwards, a sinister and terrifying scarlet eye appeared in the shadow behind Yunyin's ear, separated from her pale golden hair.
His gaze was as cold as ice, like a sharp blade piercing straight through his body from the top of his head.
The man in the blue robe felt as if his throat had been choked, and he couldn't say anything more. An indescribable sense of fear welled up in his chest.
All sounds fell silent instantly, and the bustling street became deathly still in that instant.
This made him instinctively take two steps back, stagger, and almost fall to the ground.
He looked around at the crowd, who all seemed perfectly normal, as if he were the only one who had been so terrified.
For a while.
The chill on my back gradually subsided.
Yunyin disappeared from his sight, swallowed up by the sea of people.
...
"Why are you scaring him? He didn't mean any harm. In the novels and scripts I've read, this kind of conversation is already considered normal."
"Hmph, how dare a mere ant of a lowly overlord position try to chat me up? He's really courting death."
"I also have the Overlord Body, okay?"
"You are different; your future is limitless."
"Alright, alright, I appreciate your kind words."
