Chapter 1501 “Earth (2)”
“Mommy, that sister is so pretty! Is she a star or something? She’s dressed differently from us.” A passing child points out, staring with her finger pointing in astonishment.
“Probably Sweetie, she’s likely making a film by dressing in those ancient styled clothes. There’s no way she’s from the past or something.” The child’s mother comments, not thinking otherwise about her words being partially right or not.
Bai Yan heard the conversation from the pair of course and couldn’t help but make a helpless smile at that. It’s undeniable that her outfit was standing out like a sore thumb in this city filled with people from this modern world.
I wonder if my son is going to be able to adapt to this place by himself. I better find him soon, otherwise who knows what would happen with that face of his….
After contemplating her options, Bai Yan didn’t linger and continued on her way to the nearest clothing shop she could find. From initial inspection, the store didn’t sell any outrageously expensive item, the average product that most common citizens could afford. The issue here though was the lady herself – she didn’t have any earth money! No matter how thick skinned someone was, trying to make a purchase without actual money was still an awkward situation. To remedy the problem, she shyly reached into her own pocket and pulled out a very nice-looking jade.
Let’s be clear, Bai Yan may not have any money for this country to use, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t anything of value in her possession. This jade she pulled out was one of them that those three silly shifus of hers gave over the years. If sold at an auction, it would easily fetch millions.
“Hello there Miss, mind if I use this jade to pay off what I for the clothes I chose?”
The saleswoman helping her paused at the proposal, clearly hitting a kink in her brain over the idea. Despite that, the lady retains a decent smile while most would start getting angry at being stringed along: “Miss, we also accept cards and cheques if you don’t have cash on you. Using a jade to…. please don’t tease me okay?”
Bai Yan knows her proposal was also against the norm and making things difficult for the saleswoman, but waiting until her jade sells at an auction would take too long, thus further delaying her mission of finding Bai Xiachen.
“Wait!”
Seeing that Bai Yan was about to turn away, a hollering cry suddenly came from the rear and roused the lady’s attention. It’s a handsome young man who called out.
“Boss,” the saleswoman readily greeted the person and stood to one side, clearly letting the shop’s owner to take over.
“I agree to your idea, we will accept the jade to pay for those clothes you chose.” The man locks on like a fox at the object in her hand, donning a greedy smirk like he’s found the deal of a century.
“So a jade for a set of clothes…. Don’t you think you’re taking advantage of me with your deal?”
The corner of the man’s mouth stiffened: “Oh beautiful, didn’t you say you want to trade the jade for the clothes anyway, why are you changing your mind now?”
“I’m not changing my mind. I’m only finding the deal to be too disadvantageous for myself.” Bai Yan doesn’t let herself slip despite the joy of getting an offer, “If you are willing to do me a favor then I can promise this jade to you.”
For a split second, her smiling face actually bedazzled the handsome young man.
This owner of the clothing shop had a reputation for being flirtatious with the opposite sex, often bringing woman to various establishments, but he could say in honest truth he’s never met someone so unique and special from initial view.
At this moment, Ling Lang – the owner – actually found his heart thumping uncontrollably with monkeys egging him to move that dumb brain of his!
