322: Chapter 322 Amelia Comes to the Door
Nie Ning opened the door and looked at Amelia with a smile: "Beautiful lady, I wonder what brings you here this time?"
Amelia's elegant brows furrowed slightly.
For some reason, she always felt that Nie Ning was up to no good.
"Don't try to be clever. Who gave you permission to use my name to open a shop and make money!"
Amelia scolded Nie Ning.
During her time at Yishi Mansion, whenever someone returned from outside, they would always ask some inexplicable questions.
For example, they asked if she had released new clothes, if there were internal channels to buy items not on the market, or even if she had a boyfriend!
It wasn't until she noticed too many people wearing the same style of clothes as her that she discovered the problem.
"Uh, I thought you knew."
Nie Ning showed a look of shock: "When I gave you the new clothes last time, I saw you didn't object. Wasn't that tacit consent?"
Amelia grew angry as soon as she heard this.
Back then, she was in a hurry to return to Yishi Mansion and never expected Nie Ning would play such a dirty trick.
More than half of the women in the entire Yishi Mansion were wearing the same style of clothes as her, and now it was almost becoming the standard uniform of Yishi Mansion.
Looking at this trend, who knows how much money this kid Nie Ning must have made.
"Don't try to change the subject. You've damaged my reputation. If you don't give me an explanation, my Yishi Mansion isn't to be trifled with!"
Amelia clenched her fists and said coldly.
"Look at what you're saying. It was a mutual thing. Didn't you take the clothes I gave you?"
Nie Ning shrugged and looked at the clothes on Amelia: "Besides, if you're unwilling, I'll just take them down."
Yishi Mansion had a very good reputation in this area. As long as it wasn't a forced expulsion, it wasn't a big deal to him.
Amelia's face turned slightly cold upon hearing this.
What was the use of taking them down now? The free advertisement was already out. Now the city's first impression of Nie Ning's clothing store was her.
"I think you really don't know who calls the shots in this neck of the woods."
"Perhaps after tomorrow, someone will naturally deal with you on my behalf."
Amelia gave Nie Ning a cold look and turned to leave.
She couldn't out-talk Nie Ning, nor could she use Yishi Mansion's name to oppress him, but she had plenty of ways to mess with him.
Seeing Amelia leave so resolutely, Nie Ning was also a bit stunned for a moment.
According to his estimation, shouldn't everyone sit down and bargain first?
Then he would appropriately throw out some benefits to Amelia, and finally, everyone would be happy.
But what did it mean to just leave like this?
Do young ladies nowadays have such big tempers? This was completely the rhythm of wanting to flip the table on him.
'No way!'
Nie Ning hurriedly stepped forward to block Amelia's path.
"What is the meaning of this? Do you want to use force against me?"
Amelia's brows furrowed as she looked at Nie Ning with an unfriendly expression.
Nie Ning's strength might be great, but she was also a standout among her peers. Naturally, she wouldn't be afraid of Nie Ning, a newly advanced Fourth Rank.
"What are you talking about? I wouldn't dare lay a hand on the young lady of Yishi Mansion."
Nie Ning gave a forced laugh and then said, "Actually, I have another gift for Miss Amelia. This is a huge benefit for your Yishi Mansion."
Amelia glanced at Nie Ning with a look of disdain.
She had investigated Nie Ning's identity; it was as if he had appeared out of thin air.
The sorcery he used was not mainstream sorcery, but seemed to be some kind of unheard-of fusion sorcery.
Such a powerful young man, yet no reputation had spread.
Either Nie Ning's hometown was far away, or he was a Rogue Wizard with extraordinary talent, perhaps even training in some corner all along.
Moreover, when Nie Ning first entered the city, he acted like a country bumpkin, which coincided with the latter.
As for the benefits Nie Ning mentioned, to be honest, she really didn't think much of them.
After all, Yishi Mansion had many powerful associates. Could it be that this guy was the student of some hidden wizard?
If Nie Ning knew what Amelia was thinking, he would surely be amazed. Not a single part of her guess was wrong!
Seeing Nie Ning's unruffled manner, Amelia spoke indifferently: "Tell me about it."
Nie Ning watched as some onlookers pretended to slowly approach the villa. He turned to Amelia: "There are too many people here. How about we go inside and sit?"
Amelia hesitated for a moment.
But thinking of Yishi Mansion's status here, and with many people watching her come here, she figured Nie Ning wouldn't dare do anything to her.
It just so happened that she also wanted to see what other tricks Nie Ning was up to.
As the two stepped into the villa, the onlookers not only didn't leave but instead gathered in small groups to chat, guessing what would happen between the man and woman alone.
...
After entering the house, Nie Ning invited Amelia to sit down and then poured her a cup of black tea.
Amelia looked at the tea in the cup, which looked like blood, and the light green flowers floating on top: "It seems you've indeed made a lot of money lately, to even be able to afford this kind of tea."
Blood Spring Water, a specialty from elsewhere, refined using various precious materials. Its taste is light yet mellow, with the miraculous effect of accelerating cultivation and clearing the mind.
Most importantly, 100 grams is worth 5 high-grade magic crystals!
Even as the daughter of the Yishi Mansion Palace Master, Amelia rarely drank such expensive tea.
Although Yishi Mansion was powerful and made a lot of money, its daily expenses were also enormous.
Transcendents stronger than her were everywhere.
If fifty people drank this tea every day, it would cost at least 300 high-grade magic crystals a month.
Not to mention other expenses. Added together, it would be an astronomical figure that even a Ninth Rank Transcendent power could not sustain such meaningless consumption.
"I'll give you a chance. Hand over a fifty-one percent share of the shop, or your shop might not be open for long."
Amelia took a small sip of tea and said calmly.
Honestly, she was truly jealous of the money Nie Ning made.
This bastard could drink this kind of tea; he must be making at least a hundred high-grade magic crystals every month.
And this was just a small shop, a clothing store opened in her name...
"Look at what you're saying. Talking about romance hurts feelings so much."
Nie Ning leaned back on the sofa and said with a grin, not caring at all.
Amelia snorted coldly: "I don't have much feeling for you to speak of. You'd better get to the point quickly; I don't have time to bicker with you here."
Facing this rogue, she was gradually losing patience.
"Don't be in such a hurry."
Nie Ning just wanted to chat with Amelia about life when he met her cold, sharp gaze.
He couldn't help but give a forced laugh and continued: "I wonder if Miss Amelia has ever heard of the Ice Desolation Devouring Extreme Body?"
