Chapter 150: Chapter 20: Slapping the Mistress

"Sixth Mrs. Hong, Lady Hong, the beast hatched this time is still a Third Rank Spiritual Beast."

On this side, Feng Xue and Liu Cheng were overjoyed as they received their respective Beast Pets from the hands of the Beast Pet Store clerk. As they watched the newly hatched pets tenderly licking their hands, Feng Xue and Liu Cheng felt as if they were dreaming.

A Fifth Rank Beast Pet, in Xia Capital, was probably something only those First-grade officials and children of Marquis and Commandery Princesses could have.

"Ling Yue, we really can’t thank you enough," said Feng Xue and Liu Cheng gratefully.

"You’re welcome, I merely picked them out at random," smiled Ye Lingyue.

Those two eggs were already the best of these fate eggs; asking her to pick out another Fifth Rank Spirit Beast Egg was already quite difficult.

However, it was about enough, choosing another one might even arouse suspicion from Heir Qinghai.

Ye Lingyue planned to casually pick a first or second rank Spirit Beast Egg, as with Hong Meng Heaven’s help, she could transform it with a flick of her hand.

"Mother, this store must be cheating us, otherwise how could our top-grade egg not surpass those fate eggs?" Hong Yuying said irritably.

"Lady Hong, those words shouldn’t be spoken lightly. Our family has been running a Beast Pet Store in Xia Capital for hundreds of years, always pricing clearly and treating young and old fairly. Even the Beast Pets of Princes and Princesses from the Imperial Palace are no exception. If you keep talking nonsense, don’t blame me for no longer welcoming guests from the Hong Residence," the owner of the Beast Pet Store retorted, annoyed.

Refusing the people from Hong Residence, that could blow things out of proportion.

Hearing this, Zhuge Rou gave her daughter a stern look and hurriedly apologized.

"Owner, please don’t be upset, my daughter is just spoiled," Zhuge Rou said while soothing her daughter and pulling her aside.

"Yuying, do you want to escalate this matter to your grandfather? Wait and see how your father deals with you then. It’s just a few eggs, I think the problem lies with that girl from the Lan Residence. It seems she has special abilities. Listen to your mother, whatever she picks, you pick. In terms of power, how can the General’s Mansion compare to our Hong Residence?" Zhuge Rou’s words immediately turned Hong Yuying’s anger into smiles.

She then walked over to the fate eggs, strutting triumphantly.

Ye Lingyue knew Hong Yuying was up to no good as soon as she came over.

Indeed, just as Ye Lingyue was about to casually grab a Beast Egg as a filler, Hong Yuying snatched one away.

"I want this egg."

"Lady Hong, I had my eye on that first," said Ye Lingyue in displeasure.

These Zhuge women, born to snatch things from others, Zhuge Rou snatched men giving birth to Hong Yuying, who snatches Beast Eggs.

"Who said it’s your egg? Did you pay the silver for it? I’m not like some women who deceive men into buying things for them," Hong Yuying taunted.

"Yuying, take as many as you want, mother has already advanced the owner three thousand taels of gold," said Zhuge Rou in a motherly fashion.

Heir Qinghai saw this and showed displeasure, clearly targeting Second Miss Lan.

He was about to stand up to stop it but saw Ye Lingyue shake her head at him.

Money talks, doesn’t it?

Like to snatch, do you?

Let her snatch enough then.

Whether it’s the scumbag father or the fate eggs, Ye Lingyue, whatever amount there is, she will give as much.

Ye Lingyue did not argue, she looked around and picked another fate egg, but as expected, Hong Yuying snatched it away.

Ye Lingyue said nothing, she chose one, and it got snatched immediately; soon, over half of the more than one hundred fate eggs were taken by Hong Yuying.

Although the price of fate eggs was not expensive, only fifty gold each, it was still gold after all, and fifty pieces added up to two thousand five hundred gold already, leaving Zhuge Rou somewhat unable to stand it.

Although she had the support of the sect behind her, she was still just the wife of Hong Fang in Hong Residence, and the finances of the residence were not in her hands. Overstepping the budget could result in squabbles among the different branches of the family.

"Yuying, that’s almost enough." That many fate eggs, if all hatched, it wouldn’t be a small amount.

Hong Yuying was also tired of snatching, and reluctantly was about to stop.

Just then, Hong Yuying noticed that Ye Lingyue suddenly exclaimed "Eh," her hands moved very fast, about to snatch away an egg.

There must be something special about this egg.

Not caring about the consequences, Hong Yuying also grabbed an egg quickly.

The two of them, faces flushed, each grasped half of the egg, neither willing to let go.

"Let go, this egg is mine," Hong Yuying insisted, as she believed that this fate egg was the best among all Beast Eggs. This Ye Lingyue, is very cunning, must have been fooling her earlier.

"Hong Yuying, don’t be too greedy. I have decided on this Spirit Beast Egg," Ye Lingyue also firmly insisted, unwilling to let go.

Neither of them would let go, the poor egg in their hands trembling, as if it could burst at any time.

"Ladies, please show some mercy. Why not choose another egg?" the Beast Pet Store owner had never seen such troublesome customers.

This didn’t look like they were selecting Beast Eggs, but more like they were fighting.

"No, if anyone is choosing, it should be her. Ye Lingyue, who do you think you are? Just a miss from the General Mansion, and one of unknown origins at that. I’m a miss from the Marquis Mansion, offend me and Hong Residence won’t let you off easily," Hong Yuying spat.

"Hong Yuying, you’re also just the second daughter of the sixth house. This egg, I refuse to concede it," Ye Lingyue coldly laughed.

Zhuge Rou watched from the side and noticed that the face of Heir Qinghai was getting uglier.

Seeing how unyielding Second Miss Lan was, Zhuge Rou could conclude that this last fate egg was definitely the best among all the eggs; after all, the ones previously chosen by Second Miss Lan were all Fifth Rank Spiritual Beasts.

Could it be that this egg contained a Sixth Rank Spiritual Beast? If that were truly the case, it would be worth it to exchange all the already auctioned fate eggs for this last one.

"Heir Qinghai, what should we do about this? Yuying’s temperament has been quite spoiled. How about this? We exchange all the fate eggs and these top-grade eggs I’ve already purchased for the fate egg of Second Miss Lan, what do you think?" Zhuge Rou tried to persuade gently.

"This..." Heir Qinghai, being astute, calculated quickly; fifty fate eggs plus several top-grade eggs for one fate egg; financially, this was a good deal.

Moreover, knowing Hong Yuying’s character, she would rather have a losing fight than step back.

He went forward and whispered a few words to Ye Lingyue.

After he finished talking, Ye Lingyue felt somewhat indignant but still let go.

"This time, I will give Heir Qinghai face. You set the terms, eggs for eggs, and don’t regret it later," Ye Lingyue appeared unwilling.
