This female Insect Master is too green.

So impulsive, she doesn’t even have basic emotional control abilities. She’s likely some rich girl who hasn’t suffered much frustration.

Who would start a fight in the market?

Not to mention killing someone.

Does she really think the officials are vegetarians?

This is simply stepping on the officials’ faces and being arrogant.

The outcome can only be one, and that’s being erased by the officials.

At the very least, she’ll be severely dealt with.

“Young lady, bugs aren’t to be played with like this! You’re raising a

Green-footed Golden Armored Centipede, right? Its toxicity is passable, and its combat strength… well, it’s just so-so.”

The old man actually just sniffed the air and knew what was in the female Insect Master’s bug pouch.

This old man is awesome.

Qin Niu was full of admiration. There really are masters among ordinary folks!

To casually encounter a neighborly elder in the market and he turns out to be an extremely formidable Insect Master.

Being humble is indeed essential.

Because one never knows if the person they meet will be a master or just an ordinary person.

“Golden Armored, come out!”

The female Insect Master should be feeling quite embarrassed by now.

Because after pulling the stopper out of the bug pouch, there was no movement for a long while.

That provoked quite a bit of pointing and whispering amongst the crowd.

Facing the mocking gazes of the people around, with her impulsive nature, how could she stand it?

“Same advice as before, pack it up! Even if you want it to come out now, it won’t dare. It’s much smarter than you, its master.”

The old man gently advised.

“Miss, you’ve encountered a master here; don’t provoke him anymore. Your centipede is afraid to come out because it must feel something on the old man that terrifies it. If you keep making a fuss, watch out, you might suffer a big loss!”

A novice Insect Master kindly reminded her.

By now, anyone who wasn’t a fool could basically tell that the female Insect Master was quite young.

“Useless thing! I’ll see how I deal with you when we get back!”

The female Insect Master cursed bitterly at the Green-footed Golden Armored Centipede hiding in the bug pouch.

“He bids fifty taels, the lady here bids a hundred taels.”

Having said that, she directly took out a silver note and threw it on the stall, reaching for the cage with the green giant hornet inside.

“Why get so angry! This green giant hornet is only worth about fifty taels. You don’t have to push the price so high. I bid one hundred and ten taels.”

The old man, having met such a spoiled female Insect Master, was also quite helpless.

Qin Niu was making a fortune in silence.

The higher they bid, the better for him.

“One hundred and fifty taels.”

The female Insect Master took out another silver note of fifty taels and threw it on the stall.

This woman was too rich.

Silver Money over ten taels was already quite heavy.

Normally, carrying fifty taels would be very inconvenient.

At this point, exchanging silver for silver notes at a reputable money bank was the choice of many rich people.

Money banks couldn’t just be opened by anyone, they required official approval, and one had to demonstrate possessing sufficient assets to open a money bank.

Relatively speaking, it was quite safe to exchange silver for a money bank’s silver notes.

And it was convenient to use.

Especially silver notes from some well-established banks with golden credibility were deeply trusted by the rich.

“Forget it, 1’11 let you have it!”

The old man didn’t want to keep arguing with the female Insect Master.

Watching her throw tantrums, it was clear she was spending her parents’ money.

It doesn’t hurt children to spend their parents’ money.

Never mind one hundred and fifty taels; if the old man dared to bid higher, even if it was five hundred taels, the female Insect Master would compete with him to the end.

“Hmph, if it weren’t for your meddling, I wouldn’t have had to spend so much money.”

She took the cage with the green giant hornet into her hands. Though still annoyed in her voice, the fact she successfully bought it showed a hint of pride. She never asked for Qin Niu, the stall owner’s, opinion throughout the whole process.

Having money really does allow one to be capricious.

And lacking in manners, too.

Qin Niu, for the sake of the money, did not quarrel with her.

After verifying the silver note was genuine, he said to the female Insect Master, “We’re square. Please inspect the goods thoroughly; 1 am not responsible for any issues afterward.”

“Nagging!”

The female Insect Master retorted sharply and walked away happily with the green giant hornet.

Spending a bit more silver money didn’t matter to her at all.

Qin Niu thought to himself that in the eyes of these second-generation rich and powerful, silver money was not silver money, it was just paper.

“Young man, if your family still has such special bees, I’m willing to pay 150 two silver money for one.”

The old man had not managed to snatch that special bee and felt somewhat unwilling to leave.

He just couldn’t bear to leave.

“Well…”

Qin Niu hesitated.

“That bee has not evolved for long, and it’s quite immature in all aspects, I think you must still have others. Don’t worry, selling one to me won’t cause any trouble. This is my address, you can deliver it to me anytime if you’re willing.” The old man took out a charcoal pencil, wrote down an address, and handed it to Qin Niu.

“Alright! Take care!”

Qin Niu used a respectful title for the old man and accepted the address with both hands.

He was certain that the old man was definitely a very powerful expert.

“How much for this queen bee?”

“Five two silver money.”

“It is a bit expensive. Is this queen bee the same species as that giant green bee just now?”

“Haven’t you already figured that out?”

Qin Niu was sweating bullets from his forehead.

Too many experts around.

These people had a keen and ruthless eye. It was one thing for the old man to realize that the giant green bee was a newly bred bee species, given his inscrutable strength.

But now this aspiring Insect Master could tell at a glance that this queen bee and the giant green bee were of the same origin, which truly startled Qin Niu.

He’d have to be even more careful when selling insects in the future.

Otherwise, it was too easy for someone with intentions to discover many secrets.

“Here, this is five two silver money.”

The aspiring Insect Master bought the queen bee that had two special abilities.

The money was spent somewhat grudgingly.

Without the Ancient Banyan Tree Blood, it was impossible for him to breed a giant green bee.

The normal market price for this queen bee was around two two silver money. Qin Niu didn’t have any qualms about earning this kind of legitimate money.

There’s no business without shrewdness—if someone hands you silver money, there’s no reason not to take it, right?

Only the last male Jin Chan was left.

“Come get this doom-bringing male Jin Chan! Whoever needs it, come buy now!”

There were many onlookers, but none were buying.

After all, nobody’s money comes from being blown in by the viand.

This male Jin Chan had a short lifespan, and its special ability was simply exasperating— nobody wanted it even for ten Wen Money.

“Excuse me!”

A middle-aged man in a black robe with the words Beast Tamer embroidered on his chest came over.

Despite both Insect Masters and Beast Tamers wearing black robes, the status of a Beast Tamer was much higher.

“How much for this Jin Chan?”

“You name a price! If it’s right, 1’11 sell.”

Qin Niu didn’t set a price this time, mainly because he was unsure.

Set the price too low, and he’d lose out.

Ask for too much, and he might scare the customer away.

“Eight two silver money, how about that?”

The Beast Tamer quoted a surprisingly high price.

The bystanders couldn’t help but let out gasps of amazement.

“Why spend so much money on a Jin Chan with such an annoying call? Aren’t you afraid its cry will drive you crazy when you take it home?”

“It has its uses.”

The Beast Tamer’s tone was detached.

He was carrying a birdcage with a very beautiful canary inside.

“Deal!”

Qin Niu didn’t dare to raise the price, in case it scared off the buyer -that would be too disappointing.

Selling it for eight two silver money was already way beyond his expectations.

“Here you go!”

The man handed over the eight two silver money to Qin Niu, then set the birdcage on the ground, picked up the cage with the Jin Chan, and deliberately teased it.

The Jin Chan inside immediately let out a noise that was irritating to the nerves.

The canary in the cage became extremely active, staring deathly at the Jin Chan and continuously charging outwards. It wanted to fly out and eat the Jin Chan.

After watching this, the Beast Tamer’s face showed a very satisfied smile, looking as if he had found a treasure.
