Forsaken Immortals Chapter 26

Just as she was standing still, deep in thought, a masculine voice sounded behind her, "This lady, it seems we are fated to meet. Why don't we go shopping together?"
Turning around, she saw the Crown Prince standing behind her, the manager of this floor of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion was standing by his side looking puzzled.
Why would the royal highness pay attention to a woman of unknown origin and even be so polite?
Mo Chu was also surprised. When he heard Bai Rouyun say that the Crown Prince would contact her again, he had thought that she was overthinking, but now it seemed she had a good grasp of his personality.
"I am not sure how much fate there is," Bai Rouyun said with a slight smile on her lips. "I was almost hit by your carriage outside the Thousand Treasure Pavilion. Naturally, my destination was here."
Hearing her words, the Crown Prince was somewhat embarrassed, but he did not let his expression show his feelings. "I am very sorry for the mistake made before, why don't you allow this prince to pay for your shopping spree today?"
Hearing this, Mo Chu was even more shocked. How could Bai Rouyun know that he would offer to pay for her? Was she psychic?
Bai Rouyun was unaware of the thoughts Mo Chu was having, but she noticed his bewildered and slightly adoring expression as he looked at her. Still, she ignored it.
"This, sir, I think you won't be able to afford my purchase," she said with a shake of her head, but the smile on her lips was not diminishing. It looked like she was mocking him.
The Crown Prince frowned slightly. He was the Crown Prince of an Empire; how could he possibly not afford what she wanted to buy? No such rare items were placed within this Thousand Treasure Pavilion!

"Manager Zhou, this lady's purchases, put them on my bill," the Crown Prince turned directly to the floor manager by his side, and hearing this, a cunning light flashed by Bai Rouyun's eyes.
"Are you sure?" she asked, looking hesitatingly at the crown prince as if she was worried that her purchase would cheat him of too much money.
Seeing her slightly troubled expression, every thought of hesitation vanished from the Crown Prince's mind, and he pushed his chest out and slapped it with his hand.
"This prince has already said so, so naturally, it will be like this."
Inside her mind Bai Rouyun was grinning wildly, this was precisely what she wanted.
"Well, if you are sure," her words were still hesitating, her expression displaying uncertainty.
"I am sure!" the prince suddenly felt immensely proud of himself.
"In that case, I won't hold back." Bai Rouyun found two notes from within her clothes and handed them to the floor manager. "I need seeds of these herbs, ten of each. Apart from that, I also need these herbs. They have to be ten years of age, and I also need ten of each of these."
Initially, she only planned on buying the seeds, but since it was someone else’s expense, she might as well buy the herbs as well. That way, she would not have to wait ten days to begin concocting pills.
Accepting the two notes, the floor manager was a little surprised. All of these herbs were immensely common, and they would not cost much, so why had she been so reluctant.
"Also, I need a slice of the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng. That is the main reason I arrived today," Bai Rouyun said sheepishly.
Even though she did not like this Crown Prince, and he had caused her to be angry, he was still Li Moyun's brother. Would Li Moyun scold her when he heard about this?

Although she was embarrassed and slightly worried about Li Moyun's thoughts, she was not willing to let this Crown Prince go without having him shedding a layer of skin, or at least a lot of gold coins.
When hearing about the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng, everyone was stunned silly. The Crown Prince's face was troubled, while the floor manager was puzzled. The Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng was so valuable that only certain figures knew of its existence.
How did this woman know of it? Mo Chu knew that this place had a Blood Ginseng of thousand years, but he had never paid it any mind. Such low-level herbs were all over the Yun Palace, but why would this woman know of it, and why would she be interested in it?
"This..." The floor manager was contemplating. The thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng was worth way more than its weight in gold. It was immensely expensive and while the Crown Prince could afford a slice and gift it to this woman, it would be a huge loss for him.
But the Crown Prince had already said that he would pay her bill, even though she had said it would be expensive. He could not change his mind now.
Seeing the slightly troubled expression of the Crown Prince, the floor manager had a sudden idea. "This lady, I am not sure where you heard about our ginseng from, but unfortunately you need a certain status to be able to purchase it."
Hearing his words, the Crown Prince's words became better, but Bai Rouyun just smiled casually as if the question was useless to her.
"You think I do not have the status to purchase a slice of the Blood Ginseng?" she asked casually as she started crossing her arms across her chest.
"I am afraid so. I have never seen you before, how could you possibly have the right to purchase our Blood ginseng?"
