PNB Chapter 229 She's Going to Make a Fortune!
Chapter 229 She's Going to Make a Fortune!
Bai Qing's eyes widened like copper bells, suddenly shining brightly, her face filled with disbelief, and she quickly put down the book in her hand.
What did he hear?
"Wow!! Sister Xiao Xiao, you can do that too? You're amazing! You're a true deity descended to earth!"
Ye Xiaoxiao picked up the medical book left to her by Qianji Daoren again and began to study it. After hearing Bai Qing's exaggerated words, a smile flashed across her face: "Stop talking nonsense and memorize the medicinal properties and prescriptions. Tomorrow you will know that the so-called exorcism and spirit summoning are nothing but tricks."
A day passes in the blink of an eye.
As the fairy had said three days ago, she brought a lot of talisman water.
Today, even more people went to buy talisman water than a few days ago. The courtyard was packed with people, and it was impossible to even get inside the house.
Everyone rushed to participate, afraid of missing this great opportunity to build good karma.
"Everyone, don't rush! Everyone gets one! Everyone gets one! Let's not fight! Let's line up!" the fairy shouted at the top of her lungs.
She hadn't expected so many people to come today. She didn't show it on her face, but she was secretly delighted.
This is a huge windfall!
She could already hear the sound of coins rolling into her pocket!
Wealth is flowing in! It truly is a case of wealth flowing in!
She cleared her throat, struggled to keep her face straight, and lowered the corners of her mouth, afraid that she would burst out laughing.
“Some people didn’t come a few days ago, so I’ll say it to everyone again.”
"These talismanic waters that cure all diseases were obtained by me through painful sacrifice of my own flesh to Buddha."
"These are even more precious than those from the past few days; they were obtained by sacrificing my own flesh and blood."
After saying that, she weakly covered her chest with her left hand, pretending to be about to collapse.
Everyone was deeply moved when they saw that the fairy was pale and barely breathing.
"The fairy is such a kind person!"
"I've heard that Buddha once cut off his own flesh to feed an eagle, but I never imagined that the fairy maiden was so compassionate towards all living beings!"
"The fairy nun is truly a living bodhisattva!"
"A living Bodhisattva!"
"You are a living Bodhisattva!"
The fairy gently waved her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"Since you have such good intentions, I, this fairy, would gladly sacrifice my own flesh to help you forge this virtuous bond. However..."
She deliberately feigned hesitation.
Someone asked, "Is the fairy maiden facing some difficulty?"
The fairy maiden's sympathetic gaze swept over everyone, and after a long while she said, "It is not I who are in trouble, but you."
"Huh?" Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
The fairy continued, "This talisman water was obtained by sacrificing my own flesh and blood. If I sell it cheaply, I'm afraid you won't be able to repay this kindness and will instead incur the punishment of the gods."
“Fairy, how many copper coins do you want? We’ll buy it!” a voice declared decisively.
Then, voices of agreement rang out.
"Yes! We'll buy it!"
The fairy tried her best to suppress the corners of her mouth that were about to turn up, and said embarrassedly, "The instructions given to me by the gods are six hundred coins per pack."
After saying this, she frowned, deeply sympathetic, and sighed, "Everyone's struggling to make a living, so I won't force you to buy. After today, our connection will likely end; the gods are directing me to another place..."
Upon hearing that the price of the talisman water had doubled, everyone's expression changed drastically, and their brows furrowed.
Three hundred coins was their limit, but they never expected that the talisman water would sell for six hundred coins today.
They looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.
"Fairy, could you please ask the gods for a discount? We wish to eat vegetarian food and burn incense to worship Buddha every day."
The fairy maiden looked troubled: "This... alright."
After saying this, she lit three incense sticks and began to dance around while muttering incantations.
Everyone craned their necks to watch.
Finally, the fairy threw the bamboo divination blocks to the ground with a "thud".
One positive and one negative.
One yin and one yang.
The fairy smiled and said, "The gods have granted your requests! In consideration of your sincerity, the gods will grant you five hundred per pack."
Upon hearing this, everyone gritted their teeth and decided to buy!
Just as they were about to take out their coins, a voice came from outside.
"Wait! Six hundred a pack, I'll take them all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an uproar erupted both inside and outside the house.
"Isn't this Dr. Xiao Xiao? Why is she trying to take it from us?"
"Oh right, why is Bai Qing, the young waiter from Wuji Hall, here too?"
"If we had known that Dr. Xiao Xiao would buy everything, we should have gritted our teeth and bought it earlier."
"What are you afraid of? Don't you understand the rule of first come, first served?"
"The fairy is always reasonable and will not allow anyone to act recklessly."
"But Dr. Xiao said she'd buy them all!"
"Well...why don't we just stop them from coming in?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the group actually blocked the doorway.
Upon hearing that someone had bought all the talisman water with such a large sum of money, the fairy's greedy eyes immediately lit up with boundless joy.
Make a fortune!
Make a fortune!
She was displeased to see that several men had completely blocked the door, keeping her God of Wealth out.
"Don't be rude, quickly let the distinguished guest in."
The people at the door ignored them.
"This morning when I woke up, I saw golden clouds on the horizon and calculated that a distinguished person would be coming today. You must not be rude or offend this distinguished person, or the gods will punish you!"
Sure enough, upon hearing that the gods had brought down punishment, everyone immediately made way for them.
Ye Xiaoxiao and her group swaggered into the courtyard.
The fairy maiden revealed her undisguised joy: "So it is an honorable person who has come here. I am sorry for not welcoming you properly."
God of Wealth! He's practically my God of Wealth!
Could the woman before him truly be a goddess descended to earth to save him from the torment of poverty?
“Fairy, I can buy all your talisman water, but I have one condition.” Ye Xiaoxiao’s lips curled up slightly, a hint of a smile appearing on her face, her eyes revealing a sly glint.
"Please speak, sir."
"Let's have a contest and see who is more skilled."
The fairy asked, "What skills are we competing in?"
“That’s naturally what the fairy is good at,” Ye Xiaoxiao continued. “If you win, I’ll buy all the talisman water and give you an extra hundred taels. How about it?”
When the fairy heard that it would cost one hundred taels, she felt dizzy and lightheaded, and readily agreed.
"Fairy Maiden, would you like to hear what you will do if you lose?"
"How to do?"
"If you lose, I'll treat you to a few meals. It'll be considered a mistake. How about it? Everyone here, be our witnesses."
As soon as Ye Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the surrounding area erupted in another uproar.
"From what I've heard, it seems like Dr. Xiao is at a disadvantage."
"Yes, the fairy godmother benefits from everything, whether she wins or loses."
"Winning means getting paid, losing means treating people to dinner—why don't I have that kind of opportunity?"
"..."
Upon hearing Ye Xiaoxiao's words, the fairy maiden sighed inwardly: "A benefactor! Truly my benefactor!"
He immediately nodded in agreement.
She'll be rich if she makes this money today!
