Chapter 505: My Dad Is a Tycoon
Right now, it’s the most lively time at the Immortal Tower. There’s a large viewing platform, and at this moment, both the ground floor hall and the second-floor private rooms are packed. Qing You enthusiastically greets some regular customers, but when she spots a little head darting around in the crowd, her face darkens.
Qing You quickly excuses herself from the conversation with the regulars and rushes over to the crowd to pick up the little girl.
"My little Grandma, are you itching for trouble again? If your mother finds out you snuck out again, watch out for your hide!" Qing You, with a headache, picks up Xiao Xue, scolding as she walks inside.
Xiao Xue wraps her arms around Qing You’s neck, giving her two kisses on the face: "Auntie Qing You, I didn’t sneak out. I came with Grandpa Ghost; he’s still on the street eating. I’ll go back soon. Please don’t tell my mother; she’ll definitely spank me! Auntie Qing You, you’re the best!"
"Oh dear, my little Grandma, come off it. If you keep sweet-talking me, your auntie’s going to fall for it again!" If Qing You hadn’t been victimized before, she would’ve surrendered to this cute little girl long ago. The real issue is that this little girl has never behaved herself. Whenever there’s an auction, her presence guarantees mischief.
Qing You doesn’t even know how many messes she’s cleaned up in her wake, how much silver she’s lost compensating people! Every time there’s an auction, she reflexively checks to see if this little girl is causing trouble again, if the silver she earned is enough to cover the damages!
"Good auntie, I promise I’ll be good today. I promise I’ll just go upstairs to look and won’t touch any auction items. I’m serious." The little girl gazes adorably at Qing You, and Qing You is almost captured by that soft, cute expression.
But remembering the trouble she has caused before, Qing You remains resolute: "No way, you stay by my side, don’t go anywhere!"
Xiao Xue, seeing that this tactic isn’t working, immediately changes strategy: "Auntie, let me tell you something. Last time I saw my mother open a jewelry box, and I heard Uncle Lanling say it was full of treasures, advanced Xuan Rank Space Spiritual Artifacts, packed with Natural Spirit Stones. Do you want them?"
Qing You’s eyes almost pop out, she looks at Xiao Xue half-believing, asking, "Really? Little girl, you aren’t lying to me, are you? Where did your mother get so many Space Spiritual Artifacts? Do you know how valuable those are? Even a casual Yellow Rank one can rival a low-level Xuan Rank Weapon! Not to mention an advanced Xuan Rank one! That can be compared to an Earth Rank! I’ve been auctioning Spiritual Artifacts for years, and Space Spiritual Artifacts are the hottest items, but even once in a year or two, I only see the lowest rank ones!"
Xiao Xue raises her chin proudly: "Why would I lie to you? I never lie. I even asked Auntie Dongbao, and she said those treasures were all gifts from my dad to my mom."
Qing You curiously asks: "Your dad? You don’t even know who your dad is, so how do you know he has so many treasures for your mom? Little girl, you lie without even thinking!"
Xiao Xue laughs smugly: "Well, you just don’t understand. Let me tell you, using my mother An’an’s words, my dad is just a tycoon!"
