Xiang Bei at this moment was incredibly furious so much so that her complexion was turning purple.

  She should have paid proper attention to Xiao Hua. Now that he has brought such a troublesome fellow.

  She could only do her best to teach both of Em' a good lesson lest they think that she was easy to deal with.

  Didnt Yu Dong want to buy these thirty Mers? Then she will let her have them but of course at a reasonable price!

  She looked at Yu Dong hiding her simmering resentment and smiled politely like she wasn't the one who was cursing Yu Dong in her head. "Ah! Yu Dong it's like this these thirty mers are not for sale. After all, they are the stars of my tavern many rich Madams come to enjoy their show if I sell these thirty Mers to you then wouldn't I be the one suffering the biggest loss here? It's not like I don't want to sell theme but you have to understand my predicament as well."

  The way Xiang Bei talked about those thirty Mers so affectionately made Yu Dong and Xiao Hua's hair stand up.

  This woman was shameless -so shameless that her expression didn't even flinch in the slightest while she was saying those lies! What stars? What losses? Didn't you already have a backup plan in your hand? So what was with this reluctant tone of yours? Weren't you a big boss of a small tavern? Since when did you become an actress as well?

  Yu Dong knew why Xiang Bei was acting like this she calmly raised her brows and went straight to the point. "Madam Xiang, you and I both know that there is nothing that can't be bought with money! So why don't we give up on these formalities and get straight to the point? Tell me what's your terms and I will tell you mine ……Alright? Neither of us wants to suffer any losses here."

  Xiang Bei glanced at Yu Dong her eyes lit up as she heard Yu Dong to mention her terms.

  She knew that Yu Dong was shrewd but there was only a little to what she can do right?

  She was the one who held the documents of those Mers without her approval those mers can never leave this tavern. If Yu Dong wanted those thirty Mers she had to get them through her hands!

  So Xiang Bei wasn't even a little bit bashful as she raised her fingers and showed them to Yu Dong with a wide grin. "Fifty golden taels and not one tael less. Give me the money and I will let you go scout free with these thirty Mers."

  Yu Dong glanced at Xiang Bei's confident expression and chuckled. "Madam Xiang its true that I said that you can state your terms but I never said that I will most definitely agree to them alright?"

  She smiled with a sharp glint in her eyes as she tapped her fingers on the table in a chaotic rhythm. "Do you honestly think that fifty tails is a reasonable price for thirty Mers? Well if they have been virgins I would have paid that price but-" She raised her finger and instantly Xiang Bei felt a bad feeling rise in her heart. "Most of them you have used them to serve rich madams. They are no longer pure…… It would not be wrong if I call them second goods. Do you think anyone will pay fifty tails for second-hand goods? One of them is even pregnant. And secondly they are not even young. The reason I want them is that those Mers once looked down upon me -I just want to 'teach them' a good lesson for disregarding the gold and cherishing the copper- I think twenty gold taels are enough for these Mers what do you say?"

  Yu Dong spoke everything very fast and Xiang Bei fell silent. Her mind a mess. She thought that Yu Dong didn't have a good grasp of the goods but she was wrong again.

  Xiao Hua didn't just tell Yu Dong about the conditions of the Mers he even gave her a piece of brief information about the mers virginity status! Has Xiao Hua gone mad?

  By telling Yu Dong about the virginity status wasn't he worried that his friends will suffer under the hands of Yu Dong? Was he that crazy to get out of her grasp that he was willing to risk it all?

  "Ah! Dong Dong it's not that I want to scold you but you really shouldn't say such a thing for those Mers. They are after all humans and they too have feelings." Xiang Bei sighed as if she was really disappointed by Yu Dong. "How could you describe them as second-hand goods?"

  Yu Dong grinned she didn't even look the slightest bit offended as she leaned forward and mockingly retorted. "Madam Xiang why don't I bring someone from your 'customers' list and you say the same thing to them? Let's see what they will say when you tell them that you want to sell thirty Mers in which fifteen have already served someone. One is pregnant with God knows whose child for fifty gold taels. We will sue if they call me crazy or you alright? What do you say?"

  Xiang Bei was left speechless she got it all wrong! Yu Dong wasn't here to negotiate terms with her but instead she was here to buy those Mers according to her terms!

  As if! Xiang Bei gritted her teeth as she coldly retorted. "If so then I am sorry. I cannot sell you those Mers those Mers are my valuable assets. I cannot sell them to someone who does not care about their worth!"

  Xiang Bei thought that she would definitely drive Yu Dong in a corner like this but to her surprise, the latter was still smiling.

  "Madam Xiang think about it carefully. I am paying you more than anyone else will be willing to, if you think that it's my loss you are wrong. I can buy a new stock of Mers from somewhere else. I don't lack the money or the resources but do you really have the time to negotiate terms with me or anyone? After all from what I heard you are in quite a hurry to sell these Mers."

  Xiang Bei's expression froze as she once again turned to look at Xiao Hua. Good very good, he told her about this too!
