Global Evolution: I Super Double Up on my evolution-Chapter 350 - 174: I Understand the Reasoning! But You’re Not as Handsome as My Master!_1

"Heh... hehehe... Junior Zhang, you really spoil your pets too much..."

After hearing Su Yan’s response, Wu Yiqian offered a somewhat awkward smile.

He suspected Su Yan didn’t actually want to sell the Fox Demon to him and had concocted this excuse. After all, claiming he was a democratic owner who let his pet make its own decisions sounded utterly ridiculous. If it were a pet he’d raised for many years and developed a deep bond with, that statement might not seem so problematic. But you’ve only been raising it for a few days! And it’s an infamously backstabbing Fox Demon! And you’re still here, playing up this deep bond between master and pet? What kind of joke is this? If you don’t want to sell, then just don’t. To use such an outrageous excuse—are you taking me for a fool?

Wu Yiqian cursed inwardly a few times. Then, under Su Yan’s gaze, he offered a self-assured smile and said, "Junior Zhang, why don’t you name your price?"

Wu Yiqian felt that Su Yan’s earlier remarks were likely because he was dissatisfied with the ten million offer. So, Su Yan had deliberately used that excuse to brush him off. In fact, Su Yan’s hint was quite obvious: he wanted a higher price. No increase, no sale.

On the other hand, Su Yan was very aware of what Wu Yiqian was thinking.

But to be honest, he had never considered selling Jiu Li. He had expended immense effort to finally tame Jiu Li—who could infinitely produce tails—and had grown fond of her. How could he possibly sell her? Moreover, there were so many Fox Demons in this world, but how many possessed Jiu Li’s level of attractiveness? This was evident from the other Beast-eared Girls in the hall right now. Their looks were good, yes, but none were stunning enough to truly captivate or make one’s eyes light up. Compared to Jiu Li, whose beauty and figure were off the charts, the difference was truly significant. And most importantly, Jiu Li was only seventeen this year! She was a young Fox Demon who had only been living in human society for a few years, possessing immense potential. She was even still untouched, completely pure. How could he possibly sell her for a mere ten million? It was no exaggeration to say that with the support of the Super Double System, Jiu Li was simply priceless. Only an idiot would sell her to you for ten million. Besides, ten million might sound like a lot, but it was merely the earnings from one round of hunting Demonic Plants. It held no attraction for him at all...

With these thoughts in his mind, Su Yan then said, "Let’s not talk about the price for now. May I ask, Brother Wu, what you want the Fox Demon for?"

He was somewhat curious about this. Because not everyone could recover Essence as quickly as he did, constantly in a cheat-like state of overflowing vitality. If it were anyone else, even one whose Creature Level had reached Epic level, they might not withstand a Fox Demon’s intense demands. After all, Essence wasn’t Physical Strength; it couldn’t be restored with a little rest. An Ordinary person taken by a Fox Demon would feel they hadn’t lived up to the creature’s notorious reputation if they weren’t bedridden in a hospital for at least half a year to a year. This was no exaggeration. After all, Su Yan’s own past hospital stay was a clear testament to this.

Seeing Su Yan asking this, Wu Yiqian put on an embarrassed smile and said, "It’s nothing much. I just saw that your Fox Demon was pretty and wanted to try something new."

His words couldn’t be more false. Only an idiot would believe them. And Su Yan was clearly no idiot, so he didn’t believe a word.

However, since Wu Yiqian had said so, he reluctantly feigned surprise and exclaimed, "Brother Wu, you really are generous, able to shell out ten million just for a taste! What family does Brother Wu come from?"

"Oh, it’s not any prominent family, just the Wu family from Jingdou. You could say we’re somewhat famous," Wu Yiqian said with faux modesty.

However, while his face looked modest, his tone was anything but. It was even filled with pride. Clearly, he was subtly showing off.

Actually, it wasn’t surprising he had such a tendency to impress. The Wu family from Jingdou was, after all, a bona fide major family in Jingdou. Like the Qin Family from Jingdou, they ran trading companies and were immensely wealthy. This meant that the seemingly unremarkable Wu Yiqian standing before him was actually a bona fide super rich second-generation heir.

Unfortunately, Su Yan wasn’t a Jingdou local and wasn’t very familiar with the prominent local families. When he heard Wu Yiqian claim to be a scion of the Wu Family, his face showed none of the surprise Wu Yiqian had expected.

He merely said matter-of-factly, "Oh, from the Wu family of Jingdou. Then Brother Wu’s family must be quite wealthy, to be capable of dropping a whopping ten million at once. Truly, one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover."

"Yes, not judging a book by its cover."

At the end, Su Yan even emphasized it a bit, though he didn’t intend it as mockery.

However, the speaker may have had no ill intent, but the listener read into it. Hearing Su Yan’s words, Wu Yiqian was left rather speechless. ’Must be quite wealthy’? What kind of remark was that? The Wu family from Jingdou was a major family! A major family! Didn’t he understand what a major family meant? At this moment, Wu Yiqian was greatly disappointed by Su Yan’s lukewarm reaction. It felt like punching cotton—all effort, no impact. Ah, this was quite frustrating.
