Chapter 3025 Business and Friendship
Qiao Mu shot a disdainful look at Nie Yaoguang, her expression showing her disbelief.
Was this person completely clueless? Couldn't he see how many batches of fish she had already collected from the Spring River?
The Holy Daughter's anger was rising, and she felt an urge to pull out her hair. She burst out, "I want these saber-toothed fish!"
Ever since she had met the seemingly emotionless individual, the Holy Daughter had been seething with anger. She had been making an effort to suppress her frustration and maintain her composure, despite the little stoic's interference.
But now…
This was beyond tolerable!
Why did this stoic-faced person want to snatch everything, even the saber-toothed fish she had her eyes on?
Qiao Mu couldn't help but glance at the Holy Daughter with a mix of pity and disdain.
"I knew this person was utterly clueless! Why else would she ask such a ridiculous question?" she thought to herself.
Qiao Mu regarded the Holy Daughter coldly and inquired, "Are these fish from your family?"
The Holy Daughter was momentarily taken aback.
Of course, these fish weren't from her family. She had simply taken a liking to them…
"Since no one owns these fish, why are you making such a fuss?" Qiao Mu challenged.
Just because you want something, does that mean it automatically belongs to you?
If she wasn't completely clueless, what else could she be?
The Holy Daughter, already irritated by the way Qiao Mu looked at her as if she were a fool, took a deep breath and tried to regain her composure. "Crown Prince Consort, I'm willing to purchase ten saber-toothed fish from you. What do you say?"
Talking to this emotionless individual would likely push her to the brink of frustration. The Holy Daughter believed that instead of persisting in bothering her, it would be more prudent to strike a deal.
She was determined to obtain that saber-toothed fish!
Qiao Mu cast a penetrating gaze at the Holy Daughter and remarked with underlying significance, "You're so eager to acquire this saber-toothed fish because you intend to cultivate it into a mutated saber-toothed corpse fish, aren't you?"
The Holy Daughter's expression stiffened momentarily, but it was a fleeting reaction.
Nie Yaoguang quickly regained her composure and replied casually, "I'm not sure what you're talking about."
"You desire this saber-toothed fish solely for its robust teeth and its venomous nature."
"If you manage to breed and mass-produce these creatures, you'll have dominance in the water in the future."
This assertion stirred anger in the Holy Daughter, and she couldn't help but protest, "Crown Prince Consort, I'm here to discuss a business arrangement with you! Do you really have to speak to me in this manner?"
Qiao Mu responded firmly, "It's not for sale." She beckoned with her finger and produced a saber-toothed fish with a plump belly from her Storage Talisman. She regarded the Holy Daughter with an icy demeanor. "The plumpness of this one is rather fascinating, don't you think, Holy Daughter?"
"Fascinating? Fascinating my foot!" The Holy Daughter was seething with rage, her eyes fixed on Qiao Mu with an intense, dark glare.
"Such a captivating little creature; I can't allow you to bring chaos to them."
In an instant, a white light shot out from the Holy Daughter's hand.
The crescent-shaped blade hung in the air before it slashed directly towards Qiao Mu's neck.
Startled, Holy Son Miyan intervened hastily and exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
Qiao Mu remained expressionless, her eyes carrying a hint of coldness. She reached out and seized the scimitar in front of her with a single hand, producing a crisp sound.
The young woman's hand felt as unyielding as jade. She swiftly seized the scimitar released by the Holy Daughter and tightly clamped her fingers around it.
"Release it!" Nie Yaoguang's anger was palpable, her face darkened, her fists clenched, and her teeth gritted.
This was utterly unbearable!
