I Love Little Watermelon

Chapter 360 Strange Old Man

After walking for a while, they indeed saw a medicinal herb store ahead.

Yuan Muye walked in, looking at the dazzling array of medicinal materials.

He was a little surprised, never expecting to find so many medicinal herbs in a place like this.

Yuan Muye glanced around and quickly spotted a ginseng of decent quality. He asked, "How much for this ginseng?"

The owner was an old man with a Fu Manchu mustache, smiling somewhat lewdly, but giving off a shrewd feeling.

He immediately praised, "Boss, you have a good eye! This ginseng of mine is at least a hundred years old. How about ten Rank 3 ghost stones?"

Li Pangpang, who was listening nearby, immediately said, "Are you robbing us? Three Rank 3 ghost stones are almost enough to exchange for a cart of grain!"

The old man with the Fu Manchu mustache didn't get angry at Li Pangpang's words. Instead, he smiled and said, "If you two bosses can't afford it, that's fine. I have some cheaper medicinal materials here too."

Li Pangpang was even more displeased. He slammed the counter and said, "You might as well close this black shop early."

The old man with the Fu Manchu mustache continued, "This is Ghost Market; these are the rules of Ghost Market."

Yuan Muye glanced at the old man with the Fu Manchu mustache and slowly said, "You're right. We're not buying."

After saying that, Yuan Muye called Li Pangpang and left. The old man with the Fu Manchu mustache saw Yuan Muye leaving and quickly chased after them, shouting, "Wait, you two! The price is negotiable. There's no need to rush off like this!"

Yuan Muye stopped and looked at the old man, saying, "We can't afford anything here. We're not buying."

Anyway, medicinal herbs weren't a necessity for Yuan Muye right now. Some of the medicinal herbs he had planted in that world had already grown. Although they weren't old enough, they were good enough for refining ordinary pills.

Besides, Gun Gun could eat them too. Although it was a bit picky, it could manage to eat them.

The old man with the Fu Manchu mustache continued to try to persuade Yuan Muye to stay, but Yuan Muye kept walking away.

"The price is negotiable, very negotiable."

Li Pangpang heard this and said to Yuan Muye, "Old Yuan, let's give it a try."

Yuan Muye stopped and looked at the old man with the Fu Manchu mustache, saying, "One Rank 3 ghost stone for a hundred-year-old medicinal herb. Is that okay?"

The old man with the Fu Manchu mustache's eyes darted around before he said, "Two stones."

"Two stones? Go cool off somewhere else."

Yuan Muye said unhappily.

The old man with the Fu Manchu mustache saw that Yuan Muye was determined not to buy, and he became a little anxious.

Medicinal herbs really weren't selling well lately.

Now that he had finally gotten someone to come buy medicinal herbs, how could he let them go?

"One stone, one stone, just one stone."

The old man with the Fu Manchu mustache compromised.

After Yuan Muye went inside, he spent ten or so Rank 3 ghost stones to buy some medicinal herbs.

When the owner saw Yuan Muye spending so generously, he knew that Yuan Muye's strength was either extraordinary, or even if he didn't have much strength, his background was definitely extraordinary, not something ordinary people could compare to.

After the old man with the Fu Manchu mustache collected the ghost stones, he said with a smile, "How should I address you two bosses? Just by looking at you two, I can tell that you're no ordinary people. Your identities and statuses must be extraordinary. We can exchange contact information so we can do business together in the future if there's a need."

"It would have been nice if you had this attitude earlier,"

Li Pangpang complained.

The old man with the Fu Manchu mustache still said with a smile, "I was blind before and didn't recognize Mount Tai. I'm really sorry, you two. Please forgive me."

"Forgive what? What can you do if we don't forgive you?"

Li Pangpang said unhappily.

Seeing this, the old man with the Fu Manchu mustache quickly said, "In that case, I'll compensate you with a medicinal herb as my apology."

"Hurry up and give it to us,"

Li Pangpang urged.

The old man with the Fu Manchu mustache was generous and quickly gave Yuan Muye a medicinal herb of decent quality.

Yuan Muye took the medicinal herb, said thank you, and exchanged contact information.

Then, he exchanged the ghost stones for some grain.

The two were preparing to leave.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out behind them, "Wait, you two."

As soon as the voice landed, the two quickly turned their heads and saw a figure. The figure was a bit hunched over, with a stooped back, not in a very good state.

And the voice was very hoarse.

The appearance was not very good either, giving people a very ugly feeling.

"Who are you? What do you want with us?"

Li Pangpang quickly asked.

"It's like this, I have some news here that I believe you two will be very interested in."

"What news? Tell us,"

Li Pangpang said.

The guy's voice gave people a somewhat eerie feeling, which wasn't very pleasant to hear.

After Li Pangpang finished speaking, the old man suddenly let out a somewhat sinister laugh.

"What are you laughing at? Just tell us,"

Li Pangpang urged.

The old man's gaze suddenly turned to Yuan Muye, and then he said, "There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world, you two should know that, right?"

"We know. Tell us, what news is it, and what do you want?"

Yuan Muye said.

"It's very simple, one Rank 5 ghost stone."

The old man was really asking for a high price. Rank 5 ghost stones were very precious. You couldn't even see a few of them in the entire Ghost Market in one night.

When Li Pangpang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then said, "Old thing, are you dreaming? What wishful thinking! What news do you have that's worth a Rank 5 ghost stone?"

The old man didn't get angry when he heard Li Pangpang's mocking voice. Instead, he remained very calm and said, "It's very simple. This news concerns your lives. If you want it, just give me a Rank 5 ghost stone."

Li Pangpang still didn't believe him and said again, "Who are you trying to scare?"

"The Wang family..."

The old man didn't give Li Pangpang a chance to finish speaking and directly said the two words "Wang family."

Li Pangpang's expression couldn't help but change slightly when he heard this.

Yuan Muye, however, still had a calm look on his face, without the slightest hint of panic.

"What about the Wang family?"

"You know about the Wang family, so you should also know that the Wang family wants to take revenge on you, right?"

The old man continued.

"Let's go, Fatty,"

Yuan Muye wasn't interested in listening anymore.

Li Pangpang still looked a bit unwilling, but he still walked forward.

The old man saw the two leaving and not interested in listening to him, and he was immediately a bit puzzled. He originally thought this news could earn him a lot of money.

But now...

"Wait, wait..."

The old man quickly stepped forward, blocking the two men's path.

"Do you have anything else?"

Yuan Muye asked.

"Don't you want to know how the Wang family is going to deal with you?" The old man seemed a bit unwilling to give up.
