Chapter 418. Love and Money
Chapter 418. Love and Money
"lord husband, what the hell? what kind of ores did you give lewis? just for a few measly pieces, he gives us so much money? if i hadn't seen it myself, i wouldn't believe it even if someone slapped me!" sylphy, walking out of the portal with disbelief still etched on her slightly flushed face, exclaimed.
"don't make it a big deal, honey. didn't we previously sell some monster corpses and earn ten times more money than today? compared to them, it's nothing," myne replied, indifferent to this minor profit. his inventory had more than twenty-eight thousand platinum coins, so a mere three thousand wasn't enough to excite him like sylphy.
to him, this amount of money is just like that, simply too insignificant, not worth mentioning.
aisha, who overheard their commotion, curiously descended the stairs and inquired, "what are you two talking about?"
"remember those few ores myne told you about, the ones we went to sell to lewis? guess how much lewis gave us for them?" sylphy, instead of replying directly, inquired mysteriously and wanted to give aisha the same feeling she had been experiencing right now.
"ten platinum coins maybe? i don't think they could be worth more than that," aisha pondered for a moment before replying, raising an eyebrow. clearly, she held the same initial belief as sylphy, before she had peeked inside the storage ring.
"hahaha, that's what i thought too! but we were both completely wrong." sylphy chuckles while shaking his head. with a wave of her hand, a mountain of shimmering coins materialized in the middle of the living room, making aisha so surprised that her eyes literally bulged from their sockets.
"f*ck! how can this be? how can those little ores be so valuable? are you sure your young brother hasn't gone crazy, sylphy? i think you should go and check his brain," aisha exclaimed. as a former receptionist with a monthly salary of only a few dozen gold coins, aisha had never even seen platinum coins before meeting with myne.
her reaction was far more dramatic than sylphy's, a princess whose pocket was quite empty before meeting myne, but her family's pocket wasn't, and she had a big-shot rich younger brother. she was accustomed to using platinum coins and had done plenty of shopping with them.
sylphy sighed and shook her head. "at first, i thought so too. but lewis didn't seem crazy at all. in fact, he encouraged me to find more of those ores and said he was willing to buy them at this outrageous price. he even offered to sell himself! so, i think these ores might truly be worth it.
regardless, this is good for us. no matter how much she wanted to try to deny it, but she have to admit that your husband's ability to make money is simply beyond the comprehension of normal people. at least i couldn't do this in my lifetime."
"okay, you two have fun. i still have a minor matter to settle. i'll try to be back before dinner. oh, and you can share this money between yourselves. currently, i have enough to handle clan matters." with those final words, myne opened the portal again and disappeared from sight. however, unlike before, neither girl even looked his way.
their heads only had one voice echoing continuously.
hahaha, don't make that face. it's not like i won't be back... fine, just two hours. give me two hours, and i'll be back in a flash. then we can have a wonderful dinner together." he knew gwen might start overthinking, a common problem with many girls. seeing her on the verge of tears, he sighed helplessly and gave in.
thankfully, there were still more than three hours until their family dinner, and he was confident he could resolve everything within that timeframe.
"yes! then i..."
"ahem!"
"we are waiting for you, don't be late, alright?" gwen who was forced to correct herself quickly said merrily. the mother-daughter duo had long grown accustomed to such exchanges.
myne directed a meaningful look towards fiora before embracing gwen's soft body and sealing her lips. their deep, passionate kiss was intense enough to make fiora gnaw on her nails in a fit of envy and jealousy.
"those two horny rabbits have no respect for their elders at all," fiora grumbled under her breath, watching myne and gwen's passionate embrace. their hands roamed each other's bodies, occasionally touching sensitive areas, further fueling fiora's ire.
"cough! cough! just how long are you two shameless creatures going to stick to each other right in front of my eyes?" fiora interrupted, her voice laced with mock outrage. "while i acknowledge my open-mindedness, it doesn't mean you can flaunt your passion for love constantly! and gwen, you perverted daughter! is this how i raised you?
where are your manners? if i had behaved like that in front of my mother at your age, she would have spanked me hundreds of times before locking me in a room for weeks! but you..."
"already, mother, i understand just how many times you are going to repeat the same thing. also, haven't you just acknowledged that you are an open-minded person? then what's wrong with seeing your daughter giving her lover a goodbye kiss? haven't you done this in your time?" gwen said casually, clearly dissatisfied with being interrupted during their lovely time.
but obviously, she couldn't be angry with her mother, so she could only use her own words to taunt her.
"i better go now. you two have fun," myne, seeing fiora's face getting red from anger and knowing that gwen was in trouble, quickly said goodbye. he took one of fiora's skills for which he came here and quickly ran away with his teleportation skill under gwen's confused eyes.
"you damn girl! you are done for today. how dare you talk to your mother like that!!!
