Chapter 182 Unexpected Turn of Events
"No need, let's just stay here," Xiao Feng said calmly.
In his eyes, the treasures here, on the second floor, and even on the third floor were almost the same. He had only come here to look around and there was no need for him to go to the second floor.
However, Ya Fei, who was standing beside him, did not think so. After hearing Xiao Feng's answer, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. In her mind, Xiao Feng must not have enough money, so he dared not go to the second floor. It was because of this that she began to doubt her own judgment and guesses.
Of course, Ya Fei was not a snob. She did not leave just like that. Xiao Feng was someone she had invited, so she could not do such a thing no matter what. What she should do was stay by Xiao Feng's side and make him feel like a guest at home.
Moreover, given Ya Fei's current status and strength, if she didn't rely on her looks, she could only reach some of the lowest-level commoners. Therefore, her strategy was to start with these commoners. Although these people might not spend a lot of money to buy things, there were many of them. In this way, the money spent might not necessarily be less than that of big merchants or powerful people.
Xiao Feng was unaware of Ya Fei's thoughts. He was still looking around at the various goods, but as Ya Fei had said, the goods here were all of a relatively low quality, so how could they possibly meet his standards?
Suddenly, there was a subtle change in Xiao Feng's pocket. Seeing this, Xiao Feng remained calm. He was not surprised by this situation, because it was a sign that the Eight-Colored Devouring Python lying inside had awakened. However, since Xiao Feng was outside, he did not intend to take the Eight-Colored Devouring Python out.
However, to Xiao Feng's surprise, the usually quiet Eight-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python suddenly flew out on its own, contrary to its usual behavior.
Seeing this sudden turn of events, Xiao Feng reacted swiftly, grabbing her in his hand and gently tapping her head with his finger, seemingly as if to reprimand her. This unexpected change naturally attracted Ya Fei's attention as well. Looking at the eight-colored Heaven-Swallowing Python in Xiao Feng's hand, Ya Fei felt both joy and fear.
Most girls are quite afraid of some cold-blooded animals, but they can also be quite fond of cute and beautiful creatures. Unfortunately, the Eight-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python in Xiao Feng's possession embodies both of these traits.
After much hesitation, Ya Fei finally succumbed to the allure of the Eight-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python and softly asked Xiao Feng, "Young Master Xiao Feng? Is this your pet? It's truly adorable. May I touch it?"
Xiao Feng neither immediately agreed nor refused Ya Fei's request, but gave a very vague answer: "It's not up to me to decide. If she's willing, then it's fine."
"Well, alright." Because of her fondness for the Eight-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, Ya Fei agreed to this absurd request.
She stretched out her slender, jade-like hand and cautiously approached the eight-colored Heaven-Swallowing Python coiled in Xiao Feng's hand. Seeing that the python did not show any resistance, she became bolder and tentatively placed her finger on its head.
Upon first encountering the Eight-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, Ya Fei's only impression was that it was slippery—yes, the kind of slippery feeling. Besides that, it also had a warm and smooth feel, as if it were not a cold-blooded snake-like magical beast at all.
However, Ya Fei only touched it lightly a few times. When she finally made up her mind to take it in her hand and play with it, the Eight-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python showed displeasure. Its long, thin tongue flicked out from its mouth, and its eyes were fixed on Ya Fei's approaching hand, as if it might bite her at any moment.
Seeing this, Ya Fei was startled and quickly withdrew her hand, afraid that it would bite her.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng smiled and said, "It seems she is unwilling to disappoint Miss Ya Fei."
Yafei simply smiled and said nothing. Since the little snake had already shown such an attitude, she couldn't force it. Firstly, it would inevitably displease Xiao Feng, and secondly, she didn't have the courage—what if the little snake really bit her?
At this moment, the Eight-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, which had just been in an aggressive posture, suddenly wanted to leave, as if it were being pulled or called by something. Seeing its behavior, Xiao Feng was very puzzled. He walked in the direction it pointed and finally stopped in front of a counter.
As soon as it arrived at the counter, the Eight-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python seemed to have seen some kind of treasure. It shot onto the counter and then tightly coiled its short body around a pitch-black stone.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng immediately understood. The Eight-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python must have sensed something, which was why it behaved this way.
"Boss, here you go, I'll buy this stone." With that, Xiao Feng handed over some gold coins and bought the stone according to the price listed on it.
Although the price was outrageously high, it meant nothing to Xiao Feng. Even tens of millions of gold coins were nothing to him, let alone the fact that it was for the Eight-Colored Devouring Python, so he naturally didn't care about such things.
Holding the jet-black stone and the eight-colored Sky-Swallowing Python in his hands, Xiao Feng prepared to leave.
After exchanging a few words with Ya Fei, Xiao Feng bid farewell and left the Mittel Trading Market.
Ya Fei did not try to stop him. She stared blankly at Xiao Feng's gradually blurring figure. This was the first time she had been unable to see through a person, unable to see through any of his thoughts, as if he were shrouded in a fog.
Walking down the street, Xiao Feng's unusual appearance attracted the attention of countless people. He held a stone in his hand, and on the stone coiled a small snake. This snake was also seven-colored, cute in appearance, and looked quite extraordinary, seemingly not an ordinary creature...
"Hey kid, I've got my eye on your little snake. Name your price."
Suddenly, several people appeared in front of Xiao Feng, blocked his way, and spoke.
Xiao Feng acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued walking forward.
"Young man, don't be stubborn and ask for trouble. I'll say it again, I've taken a liking to this snake. Name your price."
The man, along with his guards, once again blocked Xiao Feng's path.
