Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 144: Surefire Profit (Fourth Update)

Lin Yi was so brutally throwing it back that he might have damaged the Glass Beads inside.

You should know that there are only eight Glass Beads in this box.

What’s more important is that the quality of these eight Glass Beads is exactly the same.

The shape of the eight beads is just like they were carved from the same mold.

Their roundness seems as if they were crafted by the hands of ghosts and gods.

Whether it’s their color or purity, they are all so close in likeness.

At a glance, these eight beads look as if they were carved out of the same mold.

As such, the value of this box of Glass Beads would be no less than two hundred thousand taels of silver.

If even one or two were damaged, then that would be a huge loss indeed.

This guy, really, it’s fine if you don’t like it, but don’t destroy it.

If this guy wasn’t so closely related to him, the little Emperor would have definitely had someone drag him out and give him a dozen or so whacks with a large paddle.

Especially when the little Emperor raised his head and saw that this guy was not only without a shred of shame but also had a look of utter disdain, the Emperor felt even more upset.

"What are you doing?"

Looking at the Emperor’s angry expression, Lin Yi could only wryly shake his head and said:

"Your Majesty, is this thing really that precious?"

"Invaluable!"

Listening to Lin Yi’s indifferent tone, the little Emperor gritted his teeth and spat out four words.

Just like the little Emperor said, these fine Glass Beads were indeed invaluable.

After hearing her answer, Lin Yi immediately nodded his head:

"Then, I wonder how much Your Majesty is willing to pay for each bead?"

As he spoke, the corners of Lin Yi’s mouth slightly curled upward, wearing a faint smile.

Seeing this expression, the little Emperor immediately furrowed her brow.

With her understanding of Lin Yi, when he showed that sly smile, he definitely wasn’t thinking of anything good.

Sure enough, at that moment, she also recalled Lin Yi’s voice, tinged with teasing laughter:

"Ah, this backward technology is undoubtedly a huge disadvantage.

Calling these crappy glass balls precious is practically ironic.

To think that in this day and age, someone would treasure them as priceless heirlooms.

And when even the Emperor does so, not to mention those subjects below her.

But I wonder, what kind of expression would this girl show, if she knew that these Glass Beads, which she sees as incomparably precious, are actually made from sand, which doesn’t cost a penny to obtain?

Hehe, let’s tease her today."

Originally intending to say something, the little Emperor was immediately taken aback upon hearing the thoughts in Lin Yi’s mind.

She somewhat incredulously lowered her head to gaze at the eight Glass Beads in the box that shimmered with light.

For a moment, only one sentence echoed in her mind.

These are made from sand that doesn’t cost a penny.

But how could this be possible?

At that instant, the little Emperor really couldn’t believe it was true.

If it had been anyone else telling her these were made from sand, she would never have believed them and would have scoffed at the idea.

After all, sand and these Glass Beads are completely different things.

She couldn’t associate the two with each other no matter what.

But these words were said by Lin Yi, and they were even his own thoughts in his mind.

This made it absolutely certain that he was not deceiving her.

However, with just a slight pause, she quickly regained her composure, and the corners of her mouth also revealed a wicked smile:

"Hehe, what’s the matter? From the sound of it, do you still have Glass Beads in your hand?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi immediately nodded and said:

"Indeed, I have a batch of Glass Beads in my possession.

And their color, definitely much better than this one.

Just wondering how much Your Majesty is willing to pay per bead for purchase?"

However, instead of answering Lin Yi’s question, the young Emperor threw back a question of his own:

"Oh, then how much do you wish to sell each bead to me for?"

This caught Lin Yi somewhat off guard. He hadn’t expected the young Emperor to be so cunning as to toss the question back at him.

Originally, he just wanted to tease the girl, but now that she had thrown the topic back at him, how was he supposed to respond?

Could it be that he really wanted to make a quick buck from this girl’s hands?

But clearly, this was not realistic.

After all, the relationship between the two was laid out before them, how could he possibly swindle her out of her money?

Of course, these are all high-sounding reasons.

The most important thing, Lin Yi was sure, if he really did cheat the young Emperor out of her money, then he probably wouldn’t be able to crawl back onto the young Emperor’s Dragon Couch ever again.

"Hehe, naturally, I wouldn’t dare to set a price, so let’s do it this way, Your Majesty can give me however much you see fit.

No matter how much Your Majesty offers, I will sell the Glass Beads in my hands to Your Majesty."

If the young Emperor didn’t know what this guy was thinking, she would probably have fallen for his trap by now.

"In that case, let it be 10 coins per bead."

As the young Emperor spoke these words, a playful smile couldn’t help but appear on the corner of her mouth, and she stared straight into Lin Yi’s eyes.

Hearing this, Lin Yi was stunned. He looked towards the young Emperor with shock and exclaimed:

"How much?

coins per bead?

Your Majesty, didn’t you just say earlier that one Glass Bead could sell for five thousand taels of silver?

How come it suddenly became only 10 coins per bead when it comes to me?

Should I assume that Your Majesty is plainly robbing me?"

Seeing Lin Yi’s almost jumping up and down with a pained expression, the young Emperor couldn’t help but finally burst out laughing.

This guy still wanted to tease me, but unexpectedly, it turns out he was the one who got teased by me instead, and it feels rather satisfying.

The thing I like most is to see this guy deflated.

Seeing the young Emperor’s smile, Lin Yi naturally knew she was teasing him.

But since he wanted to tease her, how could he possibly let her have the last laugh?

And so, Lin Yi bit his teeth and stomped his foot, blurting out:

"Done! It’s settled then!

coins per bead! Just tell me how many you want, Your Majesty!"

At this moment, the young Emperor who was previously finding everything hilarious, suddenly stopped laughing, instead staring at Lin Yi in disbelief and said:

"Are you sure you’ll sell them even for 10 coins per bead?"

Now it was Lin Yi’s turn to reveal a mischievous grin:

"Sell! I’ll sell even for 10 coins each! But there’s one condition, a minimum of 10,000 beads, otherwise, no deal."

[Hehe, kiddo, looks like I scared you, didn’t I.

You’re still too green to play against me.

coins might not be much, but it’s almost equivalent to nearly ten bucks in the future.

Selling a glass bead for ten bucks, it’s a surefire profitable deal!]
