Chapter 2331: Chapter 2395: A Small Profit

But upon seeing the woman’s appearance, the vendor immediately shut his mouth. The woman standing before him was exceptionally beautiful, possibly the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in real life. Yet he dared not look at her any further. Having recognized her, he quickly lowered his head, bent his waist, and uttered, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t recognize you!"

"Hmm, I’ll take this lobster," the woman said blandly.

The vendor quickly nodded. "I’ll get a bag for you!" And with that, he hurried off to find a convenient bag.

Li Yifei frowned slightly. From the vendor’s reaction, it seemed this woman was no ordinary person. She was very beautiful, though her skin was a bit darker, not the type Li Yifei preferred. Her features were unquestionably of a very beautiful kind among Southern Sky women. In the past, such a woman would definitely interest Li Yifei to experience a taste.

Observing her attire, everything she wore was likely worth tens of thousands. Even the glasses in her hand were worth over ten thousand, not to mention the diamond ring she wore. Judging by its position, she probably wasn’t married. Her watch was also worth several tens of thousands, perhaps even more. Around her neck was a very elegant necklace, its pendant made of diamond.

"Hold on!" Li Yifei contested. Seeing the vendor about to reach his hand into Li Yifei’s bucket for the lobster, Li Yifei dodged the vendor’s hand. With a frown, he said displeased, "I haven’t agreed to sell my lobster to you, so you’d better not make a move without permission."

"I... it’s not me buying, this lady is buying!" the vendor hastily explained.

The woman nodded slightly, with an air of calmness.

Li Yifei shook his head, saying, "If you want to buy, then name a price. My lobster is completely wild, growing to this size wasn’t easy. Besides, all these fish must also be sold together; I don’t have time to go and sell them separately."

"How can you say that? If this lady wants to buy your lobster, it’s an honor for you!" Hearing this, the vendor immediately became agitated and reached out to push Li Yifei, attempting to snatch the bucket from him.

"Did I ask you?" Li Yifei frowned at the vendor. His stern face could be quite intimidating, causing the vendor’s body to quiver involuntarily. The vendor averted his eyes and shook his head, saying, "I’m... I’m just helping out, don’t say anything rash."

"How much do you want?" the woman asked, her voice melodious and somewhat intoxicating.

Li Yifei chuckled and quoted the prices for the lobster, the crabs, and various fish.

The woman nodded slightly after listening. "Alright, I’ll take them all!"

"If you’re agreeable to these prices, then there’s no issue!" The prices Li Yifei quoted were exactly market prices, without any increase or decrease. Only the lobster price was slightly on the higher side, but still within the normal range of price fluctuation, definitely not exaggerated.

The price of the lobster was something he overheard from a nearby vendor, who whispered that wild lobsters were indeed expensive, much more so than farm-raised ones.

Of course, in Li Yifei’s past view, that expensive amount wasn’t even considered money. But now, it was indeed valuable enough for him to be adamant about the price. Regardless of who this woman was, if she intended to force a purchase, Li Yifei wouldn’t hesitate to take action.

"Fine, but you need to deliver it to my home!" the woman said.

Li Yifei could distinctly feel her sizing him up, in fact, she had been observing him since she arrived. However, he wasn’t bothered by it. He was shirtless, naturally inviting scrutiny; he couldn’t possibly cover everyone’s eyes. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

I’ve got a good physique, and I’ll show off if I want! Li Yifei thought about striking a pose to highlight his physique, but refrained from actually doing so.

"Is it far?" Li Yifei asked, then added, "If it is, then delivery charges will apply!"

The vendors nearby all trembled internally. You little brat, do you even know who you’re talking to? When she comes to buy fish at the market, they would gladly give it for free, no matter the quantity or whether they delivered it to her house or even cooked it and brought it over—people would fight over such a chance to ingratiate themselves. Yet here you are, asking how far it is and if there’s a delivery fee. Does this kid have a screw loose?

The woman was taken aback, a hint of displeasure flickering in her eyes. She furrowed her brow, about to speak, when Chen Junxiao pulled Li Yifei’s arm, saying, "Uncle, let’s waive the delivery fee. It’s already kind of this lady to buy all our things; helping with delivery is no big deal, especially since we have a motorcycle, we’ll get there quickly!"

The woman looked down at Chen Junxiao with a smile, and he responded with a smile as well.

Since the little girl had spoken up, Li Yifei couldn’t very well refuse. So, he nodded and said, "Alright, let’s call it settled then!"

"Hmm, let’s go!" the woman said, then turned around and left.

Li Yifei carried the bucket with one hand, swung the bag of fish over his shoulder. Truth be told, it didn’t feel comfortable—the fishy smell was overwhelming, and after the commotion, some of the fish weren’t in good shape, getting blood all over him. Feeling comfortable was out of the question.

Chen Junxiao followed beside him as they walked out of the fish market. Outside, the weather had cleared up, and the sun was shining.

Li Yifei saw a fierce-looking Raptor parked in front of the fish market entrance. The car could be summed up in four words—sturdy and mighty. Of course, Li Yifei’s house had one too, though he rarely drove it. The woman walked over to it and opened the door, turning to look at Li Yifei and Chen Junxiao, seemingly ready to ask something.

Li Yifei pointed to the motorcycle not far away and said, "I have a vehicle!"

Chen Junxiao also nodded and said, "Sister, you drive in front, we’ll follow you!"

"You go sit in her car!" Li Yifei patted Chen Junxiao’s head and said.

"Huh?" Chen Junxiao was puzzled.

"The seat is wet, if you sit on it, your clothes will get soaked too, go sit in this sister’s car, be good!"

"Get in the car!" the woman said plainly.

Li Yifei smiled at her, turned around, walked towards the motorcycle, placed the bag on the fuel tank, swung his leg over to sit on the motorcycle, scooted back a bit, tucked the bag between his legs, inserted the key, and started the motorcycle.

The woman sat in the car, watched Li Yifei’s silhouette, after a brief daze, she laughed self-mockingly, started the car, and shot off with a press of the gas pedal. Poor Chen Junxiao was completely unprepared, letting out a scream as her face turned pale from fright. The woman then remembered there was a little girl in the car, so she lowered the speed and said, "Sorry!"

"Ah, no worries, no worries, sister you drive as you please, I’m just... not used to riding in cars, so I’m a bit scared!" Chen Junxiao said.

The woman nodded and didn’t say more, Li Yifei rode the motorcycle, bare-chested, following behind her, speeding along the road and taking note of the path. Li Yifei calculated in his mind the selling price of today’s fish, thinking they could fetch around fifteen hundred; considering Chen Junxiao only makes a few bucks a day catching seafood, Li Yifei felt it was somewhat unfair.

With this thought, Li Yifei shook his head and saw the SUV ahead making a turn, and he followed. This road was even better than the previous one—smooth and paved with asphalt and looking very new. Li Yifei certainly wasn’t worried about the little girl ahead’s safety.

A few minutes later, the SUV drove into an estate, the gatekeepers waved them through from a distance. But when Li Yifei got there, two gatekeepers signaled him to stop, Li Yifei stopped and said, "The lady in the car asked me to deliver fish!"

"Buy fish?" the guard was startled, then nodded and said, "You can go in, but you should put on some clothes, can’t enter looking like this!"

"If I had clothes, don’t you think I’d wear them?" Li Yifei retorted.

The guard was taken aback again, feeling Li Yifei’s tone was a bit tough, but not knowing how to respond, he simply waved his hand and said, "You can go in, but it’s best to behave, don’t wander around causing trouble, or you’ll be in bad luck!"

"Ridiculous!" Li Yifei twisted the throttle, zooming the vehicle inside, the two guards immediately changed their expressions. This bastard had the nerve to rev the engine here, but it was too late to catch up with Li Yifei, as he had already gone inside.

The estate was very large, with a four-story villa facing directly opposite with a very European American style, surely with an underground level or two; the entire villa occupied a large area. There were also two smaller villas on the flanks and back, though a bit further away, and the courtyard had many green plants, looking very pleasing. Li Yifei rode the motorcycle over to where the SUV had stopped, seeing the woman and Chen Junxiao waiting for him, though the little girl’s face didn’t look good, clutching her stomach with discomfort. Li Yifei parked the motorcycle and hurried over to ask, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing, just... I feel a bit like throwing up!"

Car sick? Li Yifei had never been car sick, and to get car sick from such a short distance... He took Chen Junxiao’s hand and gently pinched her thumb’s web area, stimulating the acupuncture point there to relieve dizziness and nausea from car sickness.

After a few pinches, Chen Junxiao felt a lot better, and Li Yifei let go, stood up straight, and looked at the woman who had been quietly watching for a while and said, "Altogether, fourteen hundred and ninety-five, thank you!"

Chen Junxiao heard the number, eyes wide open, her mouth agape. Her math skills weren’t extensive, but she knew basic addition and subtraction under ten thousand, so hearing that this uncle who she picked up by the shore randomly diving once could earn fourteen hundred and ninety-five yuan... My goodness, how long would it take to earn that amount? Even if earning five yuan a day, it seemed it would take a year, while this uncle earned it in a day.

Chen Junxiao was stunned, while the woman’s expression remained unchanged, as if she were assessing Li Yifei.

Li Yifei calmly watched the other party, with a faint smile on his face. The other party was buying fish, he was selling fish, no matter what, he had to wait for her to pay before speaking.

"Hello, altogether it’s fourteen hundred and ninety-five yuan, thank you!" After waiting a minute and the other party didn’t speak, Li Yifei patiently repeated.

"Where are you from?" the other party suddenly asked.

"Me?" Li Yifei pointed to himself.

The woman nodded, but Li Yifei shook his head and said, "Miss, I’m just selling fish, there’s no need to ask where someone is from!"

He said this in the local dialect.
