Chapter 942 - 942: Earning Big Money
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After sending five birds flying in a row, Eunuch Jin finally came.
He was carrying a bird cage covered in black cloth and dressed plainly.
At first glance, he looked like a bird farmer.
Only his appearance and temperament were a little too outstanding.
Someone sized up him curiously, but he did not care at all. He did not put on any airs.

“That one.” Su Xiaoxiao gave Wei Ting and Wei Liulang a look.
Wei Ting looked at Eunuch Jin and said nothing. On the other hand, Wei Liulang said in surprise, “Is this man… really a eunuch?”
How could there be such an outstanding eunuch? “How old is he?” Wei Liulang asked again.
“Thirty?” Su Xiaoxiao guessed.
There were no scratches on his face that had been carved by time, but there was a divine aura that had been developed over time.
He was someone with a story, Su Xiaoxiao thought.
He was clearly a regular customer here. Su Xiaoxiao heard the waiters greet him warmly and call him Master Jin.
Wuhu’s performance was too outstanding. The waiter pointed out the new parrot to him.
At this moment, Wuhu was slapping away the sixth bird.
The other birds pecked around, but the five tigers kept slapping them. It was difficult not to notice.
There were more and more bird owners watching, almost crowding the cage.
“Master Jin, are you going to fight birds today?” a waiter asked with a smile.
Eunuch Jin smiled. “Not today. I’m bringing my bird out for a walk to buy some bird food.”
The shop a.s.sistant said regretfully, “What a pity. With Master Jin’s black crow taking action, how can that little parrot have anything to do with it?”
Eunuch Jin glanced into the cage. “I think that little parrot is quite interesting. Is it a new bird at your place?”
The shop a.s.sistant said, “It just arrived today and has won a few consecutive rounds. The last one that was so fierce was your black crow, Master Jin.”
Eunuch Jin was clearly interested.
Su Xiaoxiao stopped while she was ahead.
She had to keep someone in suspense and not have too much fun.
Su Xiaoxiao said to the staff guarding the cage, “Alright, that’s all for today. My bird should be tired.’
“Let’s compete again!”
“That’s right, little brother. I haven’t seen enough!”
“You want to leave after winning the money? Is this how you come out to fool around? Do you understand the rules of the underworld?”
Wei Ting turned to look at the man behind him.
His cold gaze made the other party shiver and immediately fall silent.
Su Xiaoxiao earned a lot and stopped talking.
Although the shop a.s.sistant wanted to persuade her to stay, there was no reason for them to force the bird fight.
Guests were free to come and go.
Su Xiaoxiao put Wuhu back into the bird cage and gave it six pieces of bird food.
Wuhu ate three, leaving three behind.
Su Xiaoxiao exchanged glances with Wei Ting and Wei Liulang and pretended to carry the bird cage out of the bird fighting arena.
Wei Ting and Wei Liulang covered the rear and paid attention to Eunuch Jin’s movements.
If Wuhu did not attract Eunuch Jin’s interest, they had to carry out the next step of the plan.
Fortunately, Eunuch Jin followed.
“Little brother, please wait.”
Su Xiaoxiao stopped and looked at the person in confusion. “Are you calling
Eunuch Jin looked at the birdcage in Su Xiaoxiao’s hand and smiled. “Your parrot is not bad. Where did you buy it?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “I bought it from a foreign merchant. He thought that this parrot couldn’t speak, so he gave it to me.”
Eunuch Jin said, “I was wondering. I’ve never seen this bird in the bird market.”
There were at least a thousand birds in the bird market, right? Did he actually remember this? As expected of a famous bird owner.
Eunuch Jin said, “I like your parrot very much. I wonder if you’re willing to bear the pain and sell it to me?” “Not for sale.”
“The price is negotiable.”
Su Xiaoxiao sized him up. “You… don’t look like you can afford a high price.”
Eunuch Jin smiled and was not in a hurry to refute. Instead, he took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and handed them to Su Xiaoxiao.
“Little brother, is this enough?”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the white banknotes. Each one was worth 100 taels.
Next, it was time to act as herself.
Her eyes were glowing green.
Wei Ting walked over leisurely with the bird cage. “You want to buy such a powerful parrot for a mere 1,000 taels. Aren’t you fantasizing? Little brother, I’m willing to pay 1,500 taels for your parrot!”
“I offer 2,000 taels!”
Wei Liulang walked over from the other side.
“2,500 taels!” Wei Ting was not to be outdone.
Wei Liulang said arrogantly, “3,000 taels!”
Wei Ting threw down a lot of money. “5,000!”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the smiling Eunuch Jin and then at the two of them.
Their acting skills were a little too exaggerated…
“Ten thousand taels.” Eunuch Jin whispered.
The two of them were stunned.
The two of them bidded up to 5,500 taels collectively, but he added 5,000 taels. How inhumane.
“Do the two of you still want to add?” Eunuch Jin asked with a smile.
Wei Liulang swallowed. “Add… add!”
“The three of you are together, right?” Eunuch Jin hit the nail on the head. His gaze landed on Su Xiaoxiao’s face. “Am I right, Miss Cheng?”
Su Xiaoxiao blinked. ‘You know me?”
Eunuch Jin said calmly, “We met once at the Holy Selection. Miss Cheng cleared the Holy Bird’s injustice and did not hesitate to give up the opportunity of the Holy Selection. I admire your righteousness.” Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “So you were there that day.”
“Xie Jinnian,” he said.
“Cheng Su,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Xie Jinnian looked at Su Xiaoxiao’s birdcage. “Can you sell me this parrot?” “Of course.” Su Xiaoxiao didn’t move.
Xie Jinnian gave a stack of banknotes worth a thousand taels each.
Su Xiaoxiao accepted the money and gave him the bird cage.
Xie Jinnian said, “I only want the parrot.”
Not far away, the guys whispered.
Their voices weren’t loud, but Su Xiaoxiao had good hearing.
“Master Jin is still the same. He only raises the most powerful bird.”
“That’s right. It’s a pity about this parrot. Master Jin bought a total of ten birds, but none of them can defeat the black crow.”
Su Xiaoxiao paused and looked at Xie Jinnian hesitantly.
Xie Jinnian didn’t seem to know that she had heard their conversation, or he didn’t care.
Su Xiaoxiao hesitantly placed Wuhu into his bird cage. Xie Jinnian said politely, “Miss Cheng, Jinnian will leave first.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh, let’s meet again if fate allows.”
After Xie Jinnian’s carriage walked away, Su Xiaoxiao restrained her hesitation. “This Eunuch Jin isn’t easy to fool.”
Wei Liulang said worriedly, “Wuhu will be fine, right? From what those people said, Xie Jinnian bought it to feed the black crow. That black crow is very ferocious.”
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “It’s not feeding. It’s letting them fight to the
death. The one who survives would be qualified to become Xie Jinnian’s new pet.”
Wei Liulang clicked his tongue. “What’s he thinking? That’s 10,000 taels… Wouldn’t it be wasted if it was killed?”
Su Xiaoxiao looked deeply at the departing carriage. “That’s why I said that Xie Jinnian isn’t simple.”
She was not worried about Wuhu.
Wuhu could even take in a golden eagle as its underling.
It was just a black crow. Wuhu could make up for its lack of brawn with its brains..
