After reading the information shown by Xiao An instead of going to the Feather and Dust tribe, Mo Qiang headed to the Black Silk Star where the family of Qiao Yang lived. It was a planet that had a bad manifestation of monstrous silkworms that produced black silk which was one of the most costliest fabrics of the entire Imperial universe.
Thus when she arrived at the Black Silk Star she was not surprised to find stalls that were selling silkworm meat, silk worm wraps, black silk clothes and black silk gloves and shawls. What surprised her were the prices —— she looked at the black silk handkerchief that was being sold by a beautiful mer who had merman scales popping through his skin and asked, " Are you sure this thing is worth thirty million gold coins?"
How in the world a small handkerchief was as expensive as the box of milk cartons that she was thinking of selling on her site? Does this mean that she could go even higher?
No, wait. Doesn't that mean that she had been making a loss till now? Though the black silk was unique it was not rare, compared to that her products were very much rare!
" I am asking you to stop when you still have time," Xiao Jiao said to Mo Qiang after reading her thoughts. " We are here to revive the green vein. I do not support your actions of earning money through such means. I mean why would you need so much money, it's not like you have to do a lot——"
" This silk is really expensive, by any chance did you have to hunt down the Black Silkworm yourself and then sing in front of it to tame it?" Before Xiao Jiao could finish Mo Qiang asked the shopkeeper who was selling the silk handkerchief. When the mer heard her words, he looked at Mo Qiang like she was an idiot but then his attention was diverted to the team standing behind Mo Qiang and he tittered lightly,
"Ah, you are a hunter, right? No. I do not go through so much trouble. Other than weaving and embroidering the handkerchief, I don't do much." He then paused and added, " If I worked so hard then I would sell this handkerchief for more than seventy million gold coins, given that I am putting my life on the line for it."
After speaking he realized that the woman had gone sullen while the squirrel had suddenly turned pale and could not help but ask, " Did I say something wrong?"
" Nothing… you did not say anything wrong," Mo Qiang spat out. Her expression was black, her eyes were dead and her mouth was dripping with blood causing the mer to be startled as he looked at Mo Xifeng who smacked her sister on the back of her head.
She glanced at Mo Qiang who was moaning about having a hole in her stomach and then said, " I don't know what you are moaning about but you need to get a grip. We still need to go and visit Madam Ji."
Mo Qiang bowed her head and smiled at the guard before saying in a calm voice, " I don't have an appointment but can you please relay the message that we are here to bring Mister Qiao back to Miss Ji?" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
