Chapter 209 Don’t Be Heartless
Ye Jiushang looked at the broken crystals on the ground and then at Little Lei, who was hiding behind Xue Fanxin. He knew that it was Little Lei who had revealed that he was a refiner.
If it were anyone else, he would definitely skin Little Lei alive.
But Little Xin’er…
Ye Jiushang showed no signs of anger, instead asking gently, “You want to use crystals to make a pot?”
Normal people would either want to exchange crystals for wealth, use them for cultivation, or for other purposes, but they would not use them as pots.
His future consort was really unique!
“That’s right, that’s right! I want to make a crystal pot and see how the food will taste after being cooked. I think it shouldn’t be too bad, right? As an experienced foodie, not only must you know how to eat delicious food, but you must also know everything related to delicious food. Kitchenware and cutlery are one of them. Delicacies made with good kitchenware and using good cutlery will make them taste completely different.”
“Alright, I’ll make it for you. Bring me the crystal,” Ye Jiushang agreed readily without any hesitation.
Little Lei sighed. Master was really good to this idiot girl! Back then, countless people had come to beg him to refine weapons. No matter who it was, Master would either set harsh conditions or drive them away. How was it anything like his easygoing manner now?
Master, where has your aloof personality gone?
Xue Fanxin did not think that there was anything wrong with Ye Jiushang agreeing to help her refine the crystal pot. Instead, she felt that it was only right and proper. After all, he was her boyfriend! She handed the crystal to him decisively.
“Ah Jiu, the largest crystal has already been destroyed by us. It’s a little small. At most, you can make a small pot.”
“It’s not enough. Take out half of the crystals on you.”
“What? Half? That much?”
Thinking of her stock being reduced by half made her heart ache.
Little Lei saw her unwilling expression and splashed her with a few buckets of cold water. “Idiot, do you know how rare it is for Master to be willing to help others refine artifacts? You actually can’t bear to part with those few lousy crystals. Your head has really been kicked by a donkey. You’re so stupid. Green crystals are of the lowest grade. If they are used to refine artifacts, a small mountain can’t even purify many crystal spirits. Master only wants half of your green crystals; that’s very, very little.” Little Lei was worried that Xue Fanxin would drop her idea of making crystal pot because she could not bear to part with the green crystals. This way, he would not be able to eat the crystal rabbit hotpot.
No, no, I must convince this idiot. “The artifacts Master refines are all high-grade. The value of an entire green crystal mine can’t compare to a small thing he casually refines.” Little Lei tried his best to deceive Xue Fanxin, but what he said was the truth.
How could an entire low-level crystal mine compare to a spirit artifact refined by a high-level refiner?
Xue Fanxin did not quite understand, but for the sake of delicious food, she ultimately took out half of the green crystals and handed the storage bag at her waist to Ye Jiushang. “This storage bag contains half the crystals of the mineral vein. Take them all. After you’re done, just return the storage bag to me.” Ye Jiushang flicked Xue Fanxin’s forehead and reprimanded her gently, “You little fool. Only you treat trash like the green crystal as a treasure.”
“If the green crystal was really trash, would Prime Minister Su have been thrown into the prison because of this?”. “You already know about that?”
“I heard people talking on the streets just now. Although I didn’t catch the reason, I can guess that it involves the crystal mine. Ah Jiu, do you think this crystal mine can screw over the entire Prime Minister’s Estate?”
Although she did not expect the crystal mine to topple Su Baifeng, she did not want the other party to escape too easily. If she could not at least remove a layer of Su Baifeng’s skin with the crystal mine, she would be depressed.
