Scrap iron? Why don’t you try find me a few of these scrap iron?
This despicable Jun Moxie! Using the excuse of paying for me, he tricked me to gain possession of the Meteoric Iron!
It just so happened that she was also not thinking clearly at the moment and forgot to mention which one she wanted…
“Jun Moxie!!” Dugu Xiaoyi screamed, her pretty eyes bulging out widely. “Are you tired of living?”
“I’m innocent!” Jun Xie spread out his arms as he shrugged, his face a mix of roguishness and innocence. “What are you talking about, Miss Dugu? Of these two, I have already given you the bigger one, what else do you want? You want to buy iron, and I helped you pay for it. And yet, you say I am tired of living… you… you are being too unjust towards me!”
“You! … Very good! Very good indeed! Jun Moxie, you sure have guts! But you better make sure that you do not end up in my hands. I… I will never forgive you!” Dugu Xiaoyi’s chest rose up and down, as she was angered to the point of tears. She bit her plump lips as her whole body trembled. The tears within her eyes rolled about before finally falling down.
Jun Xie felt rather awkward. After all, the iron was one that Dugu Xiaoyi had wanted first. But he had used the excuse of paying it for her to pocket it instead. Using such an underhanded means to trick a little girl simply felt wrong. He tried to comfort her. “What are you crying for? How about this? When I am forging weapons from the iron, I will make a precious blade for you as well. After that, I will send it straight to your residence. So, let us just call it even, all right?” … Is this how you comfort people?
“Who wants your blade?” Dugu Xiaoyi did not know that Jun Xie was actually making a promise with her and thought that he was ridiculing her. She finally broke down in tears, her heart grieving non-stop. “This iron was obviously mine in the first place… uwuwuwu…”
Truthfully, Dugu Xiaoyi was not crying due to the loss of the Meteoric Iron. Even though Meteoric Iron was rare, it was not too difficult to obtain considering the power and influence of the Dugu Family. The real reason she was crying was because of Jun Moxie’s detestable actions. Putting on the airs of a debauchee, he had interrupted her in the midst of her purchase, then buying those two blocks of iron without letting others finish. His actions turned everything into a complete mess and once everything was done, he offered a piece of garbage to her! To add salt to injury, he even put on a pious expression as he said: You want the big one and I want the small one… How can this kind of item be valued using size?
Of course, the biggest reason for her to despise him was that she actually fell for it. She herself became confused after seeing his pretentious portrayal of a debauchee and ended up being tricked by him…
Beads of tears fell down her face, signifying just how heartbroken Dugu Xiaoyi was feeling. She looked at Jun Xie who was standing there like a wooden pole: He is not even bothering to come over to comfort me! This made Dugu Xiaoyi even sadder, she started bawling her eyes out.
“Urgh, stop crying, your face becomes screwed up when you cry, you end up looking ugly!” Jun Xie frowned, his eyes squinting. Apparently, this was how he intended to console her.
“I want to cry! I don’t need you to care! You… you… uwuwu… who did you say is ugly?!” The word ‘ugly’ is a taboo for girls. There were things in this world which could be endured and there are also things in this world which could not be endured! Dugu Xiaoyi suddenly stopped crying, her eyes glaring viciously at Jun Xie. In an instant, anger rose up from within her heart and from the anger came a loathing. She caught hold of Jun Xie’s arm, opened up her small mouth and bit Jun Xie’s arm. After biting into his arm, she broke down again and continued crying.
“Ouch!…” Jun Xie’s facial muscles twitched as he gritted his teeth, hissing. “Screw you!”
Dugu Xiaoyi looked at him through eyes filled with tears as she sobbed. “You… what did you just say?” She did not hear it clearly. Jun Xie shrugged, spreading his arms as he bared his teeth in pain. Dugu Xiaoyi then continued sobbing.
Jun Xie scratched his head, shrugged his shoulders, spread his arms and proceeded to do nothing.
