Chapter 53

While Xia Gui Fang was taking a shower, Wang Xiao Qiang used his mobile phone to take three photos of Jin Sha Shu Ju.

Xia Gui Fang, because she came in a hurry, did not bring any change of clothes. After finishing her shower, she realized this issue and did not come out for a long time. Wang Xiao Qiang called out to her, and she then wrapped her important parts with a towel and shyly walked out. Wang Xiao Qiang's eyes fixed on her, and he was instantly stunned.

He saw that Xia Gui Fang's chest and hips were each wrapped in a white towel, with the rest of her body exposed. Her slender waist, cute navel, and snow-white, plump thighs still had a few droplets of water hanging on them.

Seeing this alluring scene, Wang Xiao Qiang felt his blood rush up, and he quickly looked away. However, the Five-Element Spirit Spring in his heart quickly ran to his lower abdomen, releasing warm currents, making his already aroused member even more erect.

The Five-Element Spirit Spring had many uses; it could protect him when he was injured, like a loyal servant. However, whenever Wang Xiao Qiang faced a woman or felt aroused, it became a mischievous child, running to his lower abdomen as if to deliberately make him embarrassed, emitting warm currents that stimulated his hormones and teased his nerves, like adding fuel to the fire, making Wang Xiao Qiang even more agitated.

"Xiao Qiang, you go eat by yourself. I need to wash my clothes and dry them..." Xia Gui Fang said as she went to wash her clothes.

"Okay, I'll bring you some back."

Wang Xiao Qiang left, and since it was hot, he didn't go far. He ate a bowl of noodles and drank a bottle of beer at a Lanzhou noodle shop next to the hotel. Then he brought Xia Gui Fang a plate of stir-fried noodles and a drink.

Xia Gui Fang washed her clothes and hung them up. When Wang Xiao Qiang returned, she had already slipped into the bed. Seeing that Wang Xiao Qiang had brought her stir-fried noodles and a drink, Xia Gui Fang, who had never been taken care of by a boy before, felt deeply moved and sincerely said, "Xiao Qiang, thank you."

"Xiao Fang, don't mention it. It's what I should do. Eat quickly, and after you finish, lie down and rest. I need to go out for a bit. Call me if you need anything." Wang Xiao Qiang said, and seeing Xia Gui Fang nod obediently, he left.

With Xia Gui Fang in the hotel, he wasn't worried about Jin Sha Shu Ju being stolen. So Wang Xiao Qiang slowly walked into the flower market, strolling around leisurely. Many shop owners waved at him, but he didn't see Mr. Jiang. He learned that Mr. Jiang was out delivering goods. Without Mr. Jiang, Wang Xiao Qiang felt more at ease, as he would have felt awkward if Mr. Jiang saw him selling Jin Sha Shu Ju, which belonged to Mr. Jiang.

"Boy, what flowers do you want to buy? The flowers and plants here are the most complete in the entire market..." A middle-aged, fat boss with squinting eyes waved at Wang Xiao Qiang.

Wang Xiao Qiang walked over and asked, "Boss, do you have Jin Sha Shu Ju?"

"What? Jin Sha Shu Ju?" The fat boss's eyes focused on Wang Xiao Qiang, looking somewhat surprised.

Wang Xiao Qiang was dressed simply, and in the boss's eyes, he was just a farmer from the countryside. The boss thought Wang Xiao Qiang would only buy a few dozen yuan worth of flowers for fun, but he unexpectedly asked about the million-yuan Jin Sha Shu Ju.

"Yes, Jin Sha Shu Ju..." Wang Xiao Qiang said firmly.

"No." The boss shook his head and said, "This orchid is quite rare and very expensive. Boy, why don't you look at something else?"

The boss was telling the truth; he indeed didn't have Jin Sha Shu Ju. It wasn't that Jin Sha Shu Ju was hard to sell; in fact, the rarer the flower, the more sought after it was. The owners of such rare flowers were reluctant to propagate them in large numbers to maintain their rarity. It was not unusual that the fat boss didn't have Jin Sha Shu Ju.

"Boss, are you saying I can't afford it?" Wang Xiao Qiang was a bit skeptical but didn't insist on buying, as his goal was to sell, not buy. He was about to turn and leave when the boss said, "Boy, what are you saying? Why would I lie to you? I really don't have Jin Sha Shu Ju. This orchid is very rare, and I can't even get one myself..."

Wang Xiao Qiang stopped and turned back, saying, "Boss, are you telling the truth?"

"Businessmen don't lie," the boss said with a flash in his eyes. "So, you have it?"

"That's right, I do have one." Wang Xiao Qiang said seriously.

"Then you're not here to buy flowers but to sell them." The boss understood Wang Xiao Qiang's intention.

"I'm here to sell, but if you have good flowers, I wouldn't mind buying one." Wang Xiao Qiang said.

Seeing Wang Xiao Qiang's sincere tone, the boss said, "Boy, do you really have Jin Sha Shu Ju?"

"Let me show you a photo..." Wang Xiao Qiang took out his phone and showed the boss a photo of Jin Sha Shu Ju.

The boss examined it carefully, and his eyes immediately lit up. "Wow, it really is Jin Sha Shu Ju. Boy, where did you get this flower?"

"I found it in a stream on a mountain in my hometown," Wang Xiao Qiang said casually, exaggerating a bit. "This flower grows very secretly, and you can't see it from above. I was lucky and accidentally fell into the stream and found it, and it turned out to be Jin Sha Shu Ju..."

Hearing this, the boss's eyes became even brighter. He then looked at Wang Xiao Qiang again, a cunning look flashing across his face. "Boy, you've found a treasure. This Jin Sha Shu Ju is worth at least 500,000 yuan... If you're willing to sell it to me, I'll give you a lucky number, 600,000 yuan!"

"Uh..." Wang Xiao Qiang took his phone back from the boss and said with a cold laugh, "It seems you don't know much about Jin Sha Shu Ju!"

Wang Xiao Qiang turned to leave.

"Hey, boy, come back, come back..." The boss urgently waved at Wang Xiao Qiang. "If you really want to sell, we can negotiate."

Wang Xiao Qiang stopped and said coldly, "I don't like haggling. If you really want to buy, give me a firm price!"

"1,600,000 yuan."

Wang Xiao Qiang shook his head.

"Boy, then you name your price," the boss said with a pained expression.

"Fixed price, 2,000,000 yuan. This price still leaves you a profit if you sell it now," Wang Xiao Qiang said.

"Deal!" The boss put on a face of loss, but he was actually overjoyed. Although this price left little profit for resale, he had no intention of reselling it. He planned to use this Jin Sha Shu Ju to propagate and seek greater profits.

Although he knew the flower was worth this price, Wang Xiao Qiang was secretly excited.

"By the way, boy, did you bring the flower from your hometown?" The boss, eager to get the Jin Sha Shu Ju, asked anxiously.

"Yes, I can bring it to you anytime."

"Can you bring the flower back and I'll transfer the money to you? What do you think?" The boss asked in a negotiating tone.

"No problem. But before I receive the money, the flower still belongs to me, and I can terminate the deal at any time."

Wang Xiao Qiang's words made the boss pause. He thought, "This country boy is quite shrewd." However, 2,000,000 yuan was already a high price, and no one would offer more, so he nodded and said, "No problem."
