Qin Yi looked at Seven-inch Snake and the others with a half-smile. He initially thought he would take all the profits this time.

But unexpectedly, Seven-inch Snake and the others were so polite, making him feel a bit embarrassed.

Fine, let them earn a little too.

"No need for small talk, just my share."

Seven-inch Snake hurriedly said, "We've already prepared it for you, Young Master Qin, please wait a moment, I'll have someone bring it over right away."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. Then he noticed Little Leaf's eyes wide open, curiously looking at the teacup in his hand, and couldn't help but smile, "Little Leaf wants a taste too?"

Little Leaf curiously asked, "Big brother, what's this?"

"Tea."

"Is it good?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "Drinking tea can calm the mind and is good for your health. Give it a try."

Qin Yi brought the teacup to Little Leaf's lips, and she took a small sip. But soon, her little face wrinkled up, "Big brother, you lied, it's so bitter."

Little Leaf stuck out her little tongue, looking like a little puppy, extremely cute.

Qin Yi was a bit taken aback; he didn't expect that the Elf Clan couldn't get used to drinking tea. He walked over, grabbed a bunch of grapes from Seven-inch Snake's table, returned, and handed them to Little Leaf, "Looks like you don't like tea. Have some grapes instead."

Little Leaf's eyes lit up. She had noticed the fruits as soon as she came in but didn't dare to say anything.

"Thank you, big brother." She took it and offered the first grape to Qin Yi.

Seven-inch Snake cautiously asked, "Young Master Qin, this little elf is?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Qin Yi glanced at him, "My sister."

Seven-inch Snake trembled all over. He thought this little elf was captured by Qin Yi to be sold for a good price. Luckily he didn't offer to help sell her, or that would have been a disaster.

Seven-inch Snake, being clever, quickly went over and brought the fruit platter on the table to Little Leaf, "Feel free to eat, little fairy, there's more if it's not enough."

Little Leaf looked at Qin Yi, and Qin Yi slightly nodded, "Go ahead and eat."

Little Leaf was almost flying with joy; for her, nothing was more important than delicious fruit.

"Thank you, uncle." Little Leaf thanked Seven-inch Snake in a childish voice.

Seven-inch Snake froze, his eyes unexpectedly reddening. Being a dwarf with a hideously ugly appearance, he wasn't loved by anyone. Children either cried or ran away in fear upon seeing him, which led to his current paranoid and cruel personality. Little Leaf's gratitude deeply moved Seven-inch Snake.

"What are you all standing there for? Go get more fresh fruit for the little fairy."

A few Poison Snake Organization members quickly went to do so. Shortly after, the table was almost overflowing with large and small platters of fresh fruit.

Little Leaf smiled happily, as if she owned the whole world.

Just then, a group of Poison Snake Organization members carried several large wooden boxes into the room and placed them on the ground.

Seven-inch Snake said, "Open them."

The boxes were opened simultaneously, revealing piles of gleaming gold coins, dazzling to everyone, except Little Leaf, whose attention was fully on the fruits. Compared to gold coins, she preferred the fruits.

Seven-inch Snake took a ledger from his pocket and offered it with both hands, "Mr. Qin, we made a total of 530 million gold coins this time. If not for the Soul Chasing Mercenary Group and the Blood Killing Tower interfering, we would have made more. As per our previous agreement, here are 265 million gold coins and the ledger for your review."

Qin Yi waved his hand, "No need."

With that, Qin Yi stepped forward and brushed his hand over the boxes. With a flash of light, the boxes vanished one by one.

Everyone was first shocked, then they looked at Qin Yi's finger with envy. A Storage Ring, such an item is priceless and unavailable even if you want to buy it.

Qin Yi turned back to Seven-inch Snake, "Do you know what I was thinking when I came here?"

Seven-inch Snake shook his head.

Qin Yi laughed, "If you had hesitated or refused to give me my share, I would have destroyed the Poison Snake Organization."

Seven-inch Snake and the others trembled in fear.

Seven-inch Snake quickly said, "How could that be? We've always prepared for Young Master Qin. In business partnerships, one must keep their word."

Qin Yi smiled, walked over to Little Leaf.

Little Leaf smiled sweetly at Qin Yi, offering him a lychee, "Big brother, have one. It's really sweet."

Qin Yi couldn't help but laugh, peeled a lychee, and tossed it into his mouth, "Hmm, very sweet. Little Leaf, it's time for us to go."

"Okay." Little Leaf looked reluctantly at the fruits before her.

Qin Yi found a tray and put all the fruits Little Leaf liked onto it, "Let's go, big brother will carry it for you, and we can eat as we go."

"Okay." Little Leaf was suddenly cheerful, nodding her cute little head.

Qin Yi carried the fruit tray in one hand and held Little Leaf with the other, turning to Seven-inch Snake, "Farewell."

Seven-inch Snake hurriedly said, "Take care, Young Master Qin. You're welcome to visit our Poison Snake Organization anytime."

Qin Yi smiled, leaving with Little Leaf.

Seven-inch Snake and his men watched Qin Yi leave. Once his figure was out of sight, everyone let out a collective sigh of relief.

...

...

Qin Yi left the Poison Snake Organization and headed straight to the Hongfu Restaurant.

The shopkeeper almost fainted when he saw Qin Yi, his expression akin to seeing a ghost.

"Q-Qin Young Master?"

"What, you don't want to see me?" Qin Yi smiled, having dealt with this shopkeeper on several occasions before.

The shopkeeper's face turned pale with fear, looking more pitiful than if he were crying, "Young Master Qin, please don't scare me. Even with ten lifetimes' worth of courage, I wouldn't dare say I didn't want to see you. Honestly, someone like you, an Immortal, isn't someone we ordinary folks can meet whenever we'd like. Seeing you, it's a blessing from ten lifetimes."

Qin Yi laughed, "As expected of a businessman, you have a way with words."

The shopkeeper wiped his cold sweat, nodding and bowing, "Young Master Qin, please rest upstairs. You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll arrange something for you right away."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "Prepare some extra fresh fruits."

The shopkeeper glanced at Little Leaf, who was happily eating fruits in Qin Yi's arms, immediately understanding, and nodded hurriedly.

The shopkeeper arranged a room for Qin Yi upstairs, then quickly instructed his staff to prepare food and fruits.

"Young Master Qin, there's something I've been hesitant to mention..." The shopkeeper hesitated for a while, unsure whether to speak.

Qin Yi peeled a lychee and put it into Little Leaf's mouth, casually saying, "Go ahead."

"Though I have poor vision, I can see that the little one with you is an Elf Clan fairy. You may not know, but elves are incredibly rare at the slave market, making them very expensive. Taking this little fairy around like this might attract a lot of unwanted attention. Would you like me to prepare some children's clothes for a slight disguise?"

Qin Yi glanced at Little Leaf, happily eating fruits beside him, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Then, he said to the shopkeeper, "Get me some pretty clothes, suitable for her. And remember, the quality must be high."

The fabric of Little Leaf's clothes was somewhat poor. The Elf Clan self-sufficient lifestyle had its limits, and their weaving technology was quite rudimentary. Plus, the styles weren't very appealing.
