On the second day after the conversation between the two, early in the morning, Mona bid farewell to a bad little girl who stayed in bed and stubbornly refused to get up, and didn't even want to see her for the last time before parting. I embarked on a journey to Mond with a happy mood and the frightening wealth that is really rich.

After leaving the Wangshu Inn, Mona walked north along the avenue, passed Dihuazhou, and soon arrived at the rugged mountain road in Shimen Town, which has stone steps and stretches upwards.

As the name suggests, 'Shimen' means a gate made of stone.

When you arrive at Shimen Town, if you continue to the south, you will be the boundary of Liyue, and if you go north, you will be the free state of "wind and dandelion" in Namond!

The natural moat of Shimen, like Liyue's land portal, has been firmly guarded at the junction of the two countries.

It took Mona three days and three nights to walk from Wangshu Inn to Shimen!

And it's because she travels fast and uses the water element for short-distance teleportation from time to time. If she travels like a normal business traveler, it won't take ten or eight days to walk from Wangshu Inn to Shimen. Don't even think about it, but if you still have a lot of goods and vehicles, it will probably take longer.

But no matter what, after two nights of sleeping in the wild, tonight, Mona finally didn't have to suffer from the dew and cold wind that night.

Because, she saw, there seemed to be a big tea stall on the plank road ahead?

It was unlikely that there would be an inn here, but it would be nice and cozy if there was a shed where she could sit all night and drink a big bowl of hot soup and wait for dawn.

"Hello!"

"Old man!"

"Excuse me…"

"What are you selling?"

Mona walked forward quickly, not at all polite, first looked at the male and female business travelers not far away who were also sitting at the table drinking tea and resting and whispering something, and then walked to the The little old man who looked at her with a smile like a shopkeeper asked softly.

"Yo!"

"Girl, don't you see?"

"Big bowl of tea!"

The old man didn't answer directly, but smiled cheerfully and pointed to the flag sign outside that was made of a large tarpaulin and hung high on the flagpole.

"ha?"

"A big bowl of tea?"

Mona was slightly embarrassed.

But it's not her fault, after all, it's very dark outside at night, and she's not a native of Liyue, so how could she have the habit of reading what is written on that signboard?

"girl!"

"There is heavy dew at night, especially in our land of Bishuiyuan, come here, please sit here first..."

"cough!"

"It must be very tiring to run around alone at such a young age?"

"What would you like to have?"

However, the old man didn't mind, he just warmly called Mona to the shed made of rough tarpaulin and wood to prepare and asked.

"certainly!"

"Bring me something to eat!"

“Noodle wontons are okay.”

"Anyway, as long as it's that hot!"

Without even thinking about it, Mona sat down on the small square stool and hurriedly said.

"Noodle wontons?"

"But…"

"Little old man here, there is no such kind of food, only a big bowl of camellia picked by oneself."

"Almost forgot."

"There are still some leftover tea eggs from Aunt Qiao's sale during the day, and they should be still warm just after turning off the fire. If you don't mind, girl, can you come and have a few?"

However, to Mona's surprise, there are none of the hot noodles or wontons she imagined here.

"cough!"

"Little old man here only sells tea..."

"If you come later, girl, I'm afraid you won't even have a sip of hot tea!"

"It's getting dark, and the little old man has to close the stall and go back to rest."

It seemed that he understood the astonishment and disappointment on Mona's face, so the old man shook his head, explaining so earnestly.

"That…"

"Just bring me two big bowls of tea!"

"No!"

"Let's just have a big pot!"

"Then…"

"Give me a big bowl of tea eggs too!"

"That's all!"

Thinking that she is already very rich now, and thinking that the long night is a bit difficult, Mona didn't care so much, and directly took out a Mora with a face value of 10,000, patted it on the table, and ordered a big pot With a bowl of tea eggs for hot tea, she prepared to have a makeshift meal with some dried meat she carried with her, and then stayed in this tea shed for the whole night, and waited for dawn tomorrow before continuing to climb the mountain and pass through the stone gate to Monde’s direction to go.

"okay!"

"Girl, wait, come soon!"

After grabbing the brand-new coin that Mona slapped on the table, the little old man was unambiguous, and turned around to work slowly in his tea shed stall.

"call!"

"At this rate..."

"In another three days, we should be able to arrive at Mond City. Then, we can take a good rest for a few days at that time, and after recharging our energy and adjusting our state, we can go to that Lisa to compete!"

"That's right!"

"That's the decision!"

While resting, Mona also began to carefully plan her next itinerary and certain arrangements.

Moreover, she still stubbornly believed at this time that the successor she was looking for, the old woman and her master's enemy, must be Lisa Mintz, the genius witch Lisa Minzi who meets once in two hundred years in the Xumi Order!

In this regard, she has worked hard to formulate a set of targeting and countermeasures in the past three days, in order to win the opponent in the competition, and then, when she returns to the business, she can be in front of the old woman. Have a good time?

"..."

"Well?"

At this time, without waiting for Mona to continue to think about some details, she discovered in shock:

Suddenly, a woman with long white-blonde hair curled up in a black-and-gold hairpin, dressed in a gorgeous cheongsam of gold, white, and black, her legs were exposed, and a woman with a red tattoo on her left leg A maid wearing glasses and wearing a dark red cheongsam like the uniform of Liyue General Affairs Department came to her table and sat directly opposite her?

"You are…"

"!"

"etc!"

"Are you that Heavenly Condensation Light?!"

Then, Mona took a deep breath, and immediately stood up from her seat the moment she recognized her.

"oh?"

"You recognize me?"

"Also!"

"It can save a lot of lips and tongues."

The woman with long platinum hair was startled for a moment, then smiled, and signaled Mona not to be too nervous, as if she was the owner of this place.

but…

In fact, maybe she is really the master of the land of Liyue?

"..."

Mona did not sit down as promised, but continued to stare at the other party with a frown.

She was full of vigilance, she didn't know what the imposing woman sitting across from her with her legs crossed and the maid standing behind her came to find her.

"Um?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"I guess you don't mind fighting for a seat, do you?"

His hands and fingers were crossed together, and then Ning Guang, who was sitting comfortably with his legs crossed, smiled and teased Mona for a few words, and asked like a general.

"..."

"snort!"

"What am I afraid of?"

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Mona felt annoyed, and then sat back with a black face.

"Say it!"

"What's the matter with you?"

"There are still so many vacant seats here, and we don't know each other, I'm afraid it's not as simple as Ningguang, you come to share seats?"

"besides!"

"I can see that you should have come here specially to wait for me?"

Although she had already sat down, Mona was still full of vigilance, and while she was secretly on guard, she directly opened her mouth to expose the two of them and asked straight to the point.

"In such a hurry?"

There was not much surprise on Tian Quan's face, but there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes when he looked at Mona.

"Alright alright!"

"Then I won't go around in circles."

"Is such that…"

"There is one thing that I wanted to discuss with you. I thought about it when I was at the Wangshu Inn, but it's a pity that you left in such a hurry that day that you even used the water element to teleport, and my people couldn't catch up all the way. , I have no choice but to come here overnight and wait."

Shoulders drooping, Ningguang couldn't help feeling a little emotional when talking about the events of the past three days.

After all, she never thought that she, who has great control over Liyue, almost lost the astrologer in front of her, and if she hadn't gone to Mond, there would be only such a relatively normal road to pass If so, maybe they will really miss each other, right?

"discuss?"

"What is it?"

Mona would never say that she was rushing to Mond to perform a mission, so she frequently used teleportation spells on the road, but someone wanted to intercept her, which was something she never thought of.

"..."

Smiling, staring at Mona without speaking.

She just kept silent until the owner of the big bowl of tea, Mr. Zhou, brought a pot of hot tea, two big empty bowls and a bowl of tea eggs and turned away. The line of sight gives the meaning of retracting.

"..."

Seeing this, Mona, who has always given up easily, of course also stared back **** for tat.

"All right!"

"Well, about those moras you carry with you..."

Finally, Ning Guang, who knew that it would be a waste of time to continue staring, couldn't help but speak first.

In her opinion, whether it is price negotiation or business war game, momentum and bargaining chips are actually secondary. If you want to win, you need to understand the opponent's cards first.

Unfortunately, before she came here, she had already found out the hole cards of the astrologer in front of her through a little girl and various channels, so there was no need to put on a pose for the time being.

"!"

"Mora?!"

Hearing this, Mona's eyes widened, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she stood up again. At the same time, the water elements on her body began to gather and resonate under the action of her God's Eye, and there was a big disagreement Just start playing the trend.

"Um?"

Seeing Mona's performance, gazing doesn't mean it.

"Ah!"

"Don't be nervous..."

"We don't have any malicious intentions. I also heard Annie talk about it, and then I came here specifically to find you."

"I know those counterfeit coins are from Annie."

"She gave you a lot, didn't she?"

"how many?"

Then, after a joking chuckle and a comforting explanation, she asked with great interest, as if she was very curious about a certain answer.

"How much does it matter to you?"

"I want to know, why don't you go to Annie?"

"She has more!"

Mona didn't answer that question, she just mocked her coldly.

As for how many 'counterfeit coins' Mora she has, Mona said that apart from Annie and she knowing about this matter, no third person will know about it.

because…

Some things, if only one person knows, it is a secret, and if two people know it, it may still be a secret, but once a third person knows it, it will no longer be a secret.

Besides, she is not stupid!

If such a large amount of wealth is publicized, it may not be as simple as the Liyue ruler 'Tianquan' Ningguang, who will come to trouble her in the future. Countless people would go out of their way to kill him and take those things out of her hands!

"I know Annie still has a lot, but I'm discussing it with you now."

"Can you sit down first?"

"I'm really not here to trouble you, I'm here to discuss cooperation."

"real!"

Shaking her head, she reassured Mona again helplessly, then Ning Guang showed her kindness, leaned out with a smile, grabbed the teapot on the table and poured half a bowl of tea for Mona.

However, she didn't pour a bowl for herself.

Because, that tea bowl is too rough, not refined at all, and there are faint tea stains on it. Although she doesn't pursue food very deeply, and eats relatively light food on weekdays, when drinking tea, she is still used to that kind of tea. High-quality white jade porcelain, not the sea bowls used by traffickers and pawns.

"??"

"cooperate?"

"How do you cooperate?"

"besides!"

"Why should I cooperate with you?"

Mona didn't accept the other party's kindness, and she didn't dare to touch the bowl of tea. She just sat down slowly with a cold face, stared at the other party's face, and asked in a cold voice.

"I have a plan, but I need your full cooperation, Miss Mona."

"Is such that…"

Seeing that Mona was still so vigilant and maintained that faint hostility, Ningguang had no choice but to speak out one of her immature thoughts little by little.

After a few minutes…

"!"

"Why don't you grab it?!"

However, before the other party finished the cooperation plan, Mona, who heard a certain point, once again stood up bitterly and yelled loudly.

"Hush..."

"Miss Mona, can't you be more steady?"

Ningguang looked awkwardly at the business travelers not far from the tea stand who were attracted by the sound and looked towards them, and then gave an apologetic smile, then looked helplessly at Mona and said in a low voice. Blame Road.

"you!"

"You actually want to change my Mora one by one, and you still want me to be stable?"

"ha!"

"It's really a good plan. As expected of Tian Quan Ningguang, he really knows how to do business!"

Mona sarcastically gritted her teeth and gave the other party a contemptuous look and a very disdainful expression as much as she could.

She thought that the other party was really here to discuss things and cooperate, but how could she think that she still wanted to do that kind of forced buying and selling business? They really thought she, Mona, was easy to bully?

Although it is true that she has no way to wrestle with this 'Tianquan' Ningguang in front of Liyue, once she leaves, even if the other party is 'Tianquan' Ningguang, there is nothing she can do about it, right?

"But…"

"You are counterfeit money"

After a pause, Ning Guang, who was sitting opposite, reminded cautiously.

"Feel sorry!"

"Whether it's counterfeit money or not is up to you!"

She frowned, and then, Mona sat down slowly with a sneer, then stared back at the other party without any hesitation, and began to sneer:

"As I remember, no one in this world has ever admitted that only you, Liyue and the Golden House, can mint coins!"

"And the reason why the whole world only circulates Mora is nothing more than that besides being a precious metal, it is also the best catalyst. At present, no country can infuse the power of the rock **** like you, Liyue, at a low cost. I didn't say wrong?"

"if…"

Mona stared at the other person's face and sneered fiercely, and said an immature idea she had just thought of.

"If I rub off the handwriting on those gold coins, they must be used as real currency, what do you think?"

"even…"

"I can also engrave the face value on it again, just engrave 200,000 for the time being, and the name is 'Mona' money. Do you think anyone is willing to exchange the real 200,000 moras with me?"

The other party wanted to exchange that kind of coin with her on a one-to-one basis, did he really think she was a three-year-old child?

Although she does have a lot of that kind of 'counterfeit currency' now, and there are so many that she can never spend them all, but that doesn't mean she can let others slaughter her!

"Is that a refusal?"

Folding his arms, Tianquan was noncommittal.

"snort!"

Mona didn't say much, but she was ready to fight back at any time and wait for an opportunity to use her water element teleportation flash to escape.

"All right"

As a last resort, Ning Guang sighed and stood up.

"how?"

"See you poorly, do you want to grab it by force?"

"Don't say you didn't remind me!"

"If it's just the two of you, I'm afraid it's not easy?"

Mona continued to mock.

If there are Qianyan Army or other Liyue Seven Stars ambushing around, she will definitely turn around and run away, but if there is only the master and servant in front of her, she will not take it too seriously.

"No!"

"On the contrary!"

"My principle has always been: if things can be solved with Mora, there is no need to use the "God's Eye"! "

"And now, we are still in an important part of the business negotiation, and there are only some differences in interests, so..."

"Since you disagree with the first plan, let's start discussing the second plan,"

As she spoke, Ning Guang waved her hands, and turned her head to wink at Bai Shi behind her.

"The specific plan is here."

"Miss Mona, please take a look!"

That Baizhi didn't talk too much, he just stepped forward slowly with his waist twisted, and put a document that had been drawn up a long time ago on the same rough tea table that was only made of solid wood with simple polishing.

"??"

"You guys are..."

Mona was stunned, and the momentum and water element brewing in her body were suffocated, and then her expression inevitably became a little embarrassed and confused.

"Miss Mona."

"I also know that you may be rich now, even richer than me?"

"but…"

"You shouldn't mind finding a new investment and partner, right?"

"No matter what, Mora can't be too much, can she?"

Niang Guang asked with a smile, and motioned Mona to read the document, because the details were all written in it, and she believed that the other party would definitely agree after reading it, it was a win-win agreement, and she The dictated proposal was quite different.

"..."

Mona didn't speak, nor was she in a hurry to read the document, she just frowned and thought.

"Let's see!"

"You should be interested in this plan. Although we can't give you too much Mora, but..."

"You won't be interested in investing in the business of Gold House~lightnovelpub.net~?"

"If you miss it, you won't have another chance."

Seeing that Mona was indifferent, Ningguang stretched out his hand again and gestured with his eyes. At the same time, he sat back down again and raised his comfortable and charming Erlang legs again.

"!"

"Invest in the Golden House?"

"..."

Surprised and silent for a while, seeing that the two of them did not seem to intend to do anything, and there seemed to be no Qianyan Army or other Liyue Seven Stars ambushing around, so Mona thought for a while, and Still unable to hold back the curiosity and temptation in his heart, he followed suit and sat back, and picked up the document and read it at a glance.
