Chapter 1766: Heavenly Phoenix Crown Prince
This youth had a woman as his companion and another worker helping them. She was beautiful and commanded an oppressive noble aura; this made it obvious that she came from a great background.
The worker was stuck in a tough position after this youth grabbed the cup out of Li Qiyeâs hand. He smiled awkwardly and asked Li Qiye: âThe prince is very impatient, dear customer, will you look at something else?â
Li Qiye didnât bother looking at the youth and said dismissively: âTell him to give it back, I want this cup.â
The two workers became awkward. According to their storeâs rules, it was first come, first served.
The second worker rubbed his palms together and smiled at the youth: âMy Prince, will you take a look at something different? We have a lot of treasures here, especially a new dagger that will be very suitable for Miss Lin.â
Even though a mortal like Li Qiye wouldnât necessarily be able to afford the jade cup, he was still first in line to buy because of the rule.
âNo, I want this cup, it can purify bloodline, perfect for my sister. This will be my gift for her.â The youth was very arrogant.
âAh, sir, we have other treasures too. Iâm sure you will be able to find the right one.â After seeing the youthâs swift refusal, Li Qiyeâs worker turned towards him and persuaded.
âNo. This cup will be mine.â LI Qiye flatly refused as well without backing down.
Li Qiyeâs attitude made the two workers speechless. What kind of mortal dared to vex a cultivator? Moreover, this youth came from a great background.
He was on a shopping spree with this beauty and coincidentally saw this cup then felt that it was very suitable for his older sister. But now, a mortal dared to compete with him? This embarrassed him in front of the lady and everyone else here.
âBrat, can you afford it?â The youth coldly stared at Li Qiye with contempt. In his eyes, even a rich mortal wouldnât be able to buy this level of treasure.
âAttendant, pack it up for me, weâll pay later.â Li Qiye told the worker next to him.
This scared the wits out of Shen Xiaoshan because she knew that he didnât even have one chaos stone on him. But now, he dared to tell the worker to pack it up? What if he couldnât afford to pay when the time comes? It would be too embarrassing and awkward.
The youthâs eyes turned cold with a murderous glint after seeing the non-cooperating mortal.
If this wasnât the Jilinâs territory, he would crush this mortal already. It would be as easy as killing an ant for someone like him.
âHmph, only a mortal yet you still dare to bluster? Do you know who he is?â The beauty became unhappy with Li Qiye as well and sneered: âHe is the Crown Prince of Heavenly Phoenix, the little brother of Heavenly Phoenix Princess.â
âHeavenly Phoenix Princess!â Shi Souâs group turned pale after hearing this title.
Heavenly Phoenix Crown Prince wasnât famous but it was a different story for the princess. Many people in Pure would show respect after hearing her title.
This country was an imperial lineage, created by Heavenly Phoenix Immortal Monarch.
However, being an imperial lineage wasnât the proudest thing in the country. Their true pride was their princess.
She had a prestigious bloodline but more importantly, she was Jin Geâs fiancee. He was the successor of the War-Monarch Clan and had taken up the post of clan master before too. He was an emperor candidate and once threatened the thirteen continents. [ref] Not the cultivation title here, just an aspirant which does confuse me, is this really a big deal?[ref]
Shi Sou felt his legs giving in. They were less than insects compared to someone like the princess and her lineage. Xiaoshan slightly pulled on Li Qiyeâs sleeve in order to remind him from going against the crown prince.
The beauty next to the prince felt complacent and sneered again: âHis Highnessâ prestige isnât something you can compare to, be smart and scram now!â
âNever heard of him. Scram to the side, do not interrupt my shopping.â Li Qiye ignored those two and told the worker again: âPack it up well.â
This was not a good trip for Shi Souâs group since they were repeatedly frightened by Li Qiye. They expected him to back off a bit after hearing the princeâs identity but it turned out that he didnât give a damn at all.
The two workers were astonished as well. This might be the most aggressive and domineering mortal they have ever met, even going as far as to shout at the Heavenly Phoenix Crown Prince.
The princeâs expression turned ugly after being treated with contempt publicly by this mortal. If it wasnât for his rationality holding him back from killing in a Jilin shop, he would have crushed this ant long ago.
âAttendant, this is my card.â He took out a VIP card made out of gold and handed to the worker next to him.
The worker next to him was surprised to see this card. The princeâs status alone wasnât enough to enjoy this gold VIP card. It must have been his fatherâs.
He accepted the card and apologized sincerely to Li Qiye: âDear customer, the prince is our esteemed guest and has purchasing priority.â
The prince was appeased after hearing this and snorted: âOnly a mortal, a gleam of light daring to compete against the radiant moon?!â
The prince normally wouldnât care to compete against a mortal. However, if he didnât release this anger today, he wouldnât be able to save his face as the crown prince of an entire country, no, an imperial lineage. If he couldnât take a mortal down a notch, it would show utter incompetence.
âIs that so?â Li Qiye freely replied with his gaze shifting at the wooden box again.
âGet the hell out now and I shall show mercy by not killing you!â The prince almost vomited blood after seeing that this mortal was still as haughty as ever and shouted.
Shi Souâs group was truly scared this time by the shouting prince. Remember that just his finger alone could destroy Sago Palm. This was even before talking about his older sister and brother-in-law. Shi Sou almost dropped to the ground in fear.
Xiaoshan tugged on Li Qiyeâs sleeve again, signaling him to stop.
Li Qiye ignored this and casually went over to brush his hand across the zither. A noise came about.
Suddenly, a phoenix roar resounded with the zither becoming bright. However, it quickly disappeared as if it was only a coincidence.
The two workers were completely stunned by this event. Meanwhile, the stunned manager immediately got up and walked closer towards Li Qiye. He cupped his fist and said: âSir, you are a master. Your presence brightens our humble abode.â
âThis is our boss.â The worker quietly introduced.
âI see. Iâm here to buy some toys at your store.â Li Qiye casually said.
The workers were taken by a storm with his attitude. Keep in mind that even kings and sect masters wouldnât be received by their manager. They would even bow down when talking to him yet Li Qiye treated it so trivially.
The manager immediately grabbed the jade cup and told the prince: âMy Prince, the rule of the store is first come, first served. Please excuse us.â
âManager, Iâm not trying to force the issue but I do have a VIP card.â The prince didnât accept this.
He didnât dare to become angry at the manager but he couldnât swallow it down.
âThis gentleman is our venerable guest with all the priorities, please excuse us.â The manager said seriously.
With that, the old manager ordered a worker to take down a dagger and give it to the lady next to him. It was quite pricey so she liked it a lot.
Nevertheless, the prince was still furious at Li Qiye and would surely kill him if this wasnât a Jilin store.
