Novel Full Chapter 717 - 717 I Want an IOU
717 I Want an IOU
Xue Fanxin used the teleportation technique again. She had wanted to return to her tent, but perhaps because she did not have enough control over the teleportation technique, she had gotten the place wrong.
“Ah…”
Bai Shuiling was bathing in the tent, when she suddenly saw Xue Fanxin appear out of thin air, she was shocked and screamed, “Ah…”
When the people outside heard Bai Shuiling’s scream, they quickly came over to ask. However, they knew that Bai Shuiling was bathing, so they did not dare to barge inside. They only asked from outside the tent, “Miss, what happened?”
“No, nothing. All of you can leave.” Bai Shuiling reacted quite quickly. Seeing Xue Fanxin’s awkward expression, she knew that she had no ill will, so she did not let anyone in.
“Um… Miss Bai, I’m really sorry. Because I didn’t control the location well, I came to the wrong place. I’ll leave immediately.” After Xue Fanxin apologized sincerely, she wanted to leave, planning to use the teleportation technique again.
At this moment, Bai Shuiling called out to her, “Xue Fanxin.”
Being stopped, Xue Fanxin didn’t use the teleportation technique. She raised her head to look at Bai Shuiling, who was still soaking in the bathtub and asked, “Miss Bai, what’s the matter?”
“I… I… I want to negotiate with you.”
“What sort of deal do you want to negotiate?”
“It’s…” Bai Shuiling stammered, finding it difficult to say what she wanted to say. However, in the end, she plucked up the courage to say it. “I’m willing to pay a high price to buy some food from you. Can you… sell some to me?”
When had she, the dignified Young Miss of the Bai family, ever been so humble for a little food?
But in order to survive and for the people who followed her, she had to get food.
“Sure! There’s no problem with that.”
Seeing that Xue Fanxin had agreed so readily, Bai Shuiling did not believe her. “You’re really willing to sell food to me? Do you know what food means here? It’s the key to survival.”
“10,000 crystal coins for a kilogram of rice and 100,000 crystal coins for a kilogram of meat. Do you want to buy it?” Xue Fanxin did not answer Bai Shuiling’s questions but asked her one back.

Bai Shuiling was a little stunned, but when she heard Xue Fanxin’s price, even if it was a little high, she immediately nodded and agreed. “I’ll buy it.”
“How much? Let me say this first. Food is limited, so I won’t sell too much.”
“How about twenty catties of rice and ten catties of meat?”
“No problem.” Xue Fanxin took out the rice and meat on the spot and revealed a rough number. “There’s about twenty catties of rice and ten catties of meat here. Ten thousand crystal coins per catty of rice, that’s two hundred thousand crystal coins. One hundred thousand crystal coins per catty of meat, that’s a million crystal coins. A total of 1.2 million crystal coins. Miss Bai, do you want to pay cash or write an IOU?”
Bai Shuishui was blushing now and felt very embarrassed, but for some reason, losing face in front of Xue Fanxin no longer made her feel like she was gnashing her teeth. Instead, she felt a little uncomfortable, a little embarrassed, and a little depressed. She could still accept this complicated emotion, so she threw caution to the wind and said, “I’ll write an IOU.”
Although the Bai family was the richest among the four great families and 1.2 million was nothing to the Bai family, but to her, it was a large sum. If the Bai family was unwilling to pay for her, she could only pay for it herself.
They had no choice. After all, the Bai family’s financial authority had fallen into the hands of a stingy person. No matter how rich the Bai family was, it was very difficult for them to spend money.
