Chapter 57 Equivalence
Jiang Yuan walked and looked along the way, and finally stopped in front of a stall selling masks. The stall owner was wearing a headscarf and her face could not be seen clearly. Jiang Yuan could only guess that she was a white cat demon from the paw she used to hand over the mask, the hair on her paw, and the pink pad on the center of her paw.

The mask stall not only sells masks, but also some decorations that monsters like. Jiang Yuan spent a long time selecting, nodding and shaking his head from time to time, picking up and putting down.

Until finally, she stopped her hand on a bell...

The copper bell was as big as a fist. When she touched it lightly, it made a "ding-ling-ling" sound. The big cat's ears moved and it lowered its head and moved closer, looking at the bell on the stall with interest.

Jiang Yuan was stunned at first, as if she had discovered a new world, and asked quickly: "Big Cat, do you like this bell?"

Big Cat thought for a while, then shook his head and forced himself to look away from the copper bell.

But Jiang Yuan instantly understood its thoughts, so he pointed at the copper bell and asked the stall owner, "How much shells does that bell cost?"

When the stall owner saw the big cat, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. After seeing Jiang Yuan's attitude towards it, he felt even more envious.

Her voice was a little hoarse, as if she had not spoken for many years. She answered timidly, "Three cowrie shells."

Jiang Yuan was about to take out three shell coins from her bosom, but she heard the stall owner say, "Little sister, if you can answer a question for me, I will give you this bell and I won't charge you for the shell coins."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan was stunned, thinking that the stall owner wanted to ask her if she was a human, so she waved her hand and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask directly. I will answer anything I think I can answer. As for your method of exchanging questions for this bell... forget it!"

"Why?" The stall owner looked puzzled. If it were any other demon, he would have agreed long ago, and would even wish she would ask a few more questions.

Jiang Yuan placed three shell coins on the stall and said as if it was a matter of course, "I only need to answer one question of yours and I can get a copper bell for free. This is considered to be something you get for nothing... Sister Cat, you are corrupting the children!"

Although it is a bastard not to take advantage of an opportunity, it depends on the situation. Jiang Yuan only takes advantage of friends and enemies, and she dare not take advantage of strange monsters. The stall owner stared at her for a few seconds, then couldn't help laughing and said, "Little sister is very interesting and vigilant. She is really good, but don't worry, I just said an equal transaction."

She emphasized the last four words very seriously, and as if she was afraid that Jiang Yuan would not answer seriously, she added: "If I am satisfied with your answer, I will give you this copper bell. If I am not satisfied with your answer, I will not sell you this copper bell."

Either accept the freebie or turn around and leave.

Jiang Yuan was faced with these two options and it was difficult to choose until she looked back at Da Miao, and then her mind gradually became firm.

No matter in the real world or the monster world, only Big Cat has always been with her. In the real world, even if she wanted to give it a gift, she had no money. Now that she has shells and she happens to come across something it likes, there is no reason for her not to buy it!
"Sister Cat, just ask whatever you want to ask!" After Jiang Yuan made her choice, she no longer hesitated and asked as if seizing the opportunity.

The stall owner glanced at the big cat behind Jiang Yuan, and seemed to muster up the courage to take off his headscarf.

Just as Jiang Yuan guessed, she was a white cat demon. Her entire body was white without a single hair of any other color. Her two eyes were different colors, the left eye was blue and the right eye was red, like two gems, which added a bit of mystery to her.

"Little sister, do you think... I'm pretty?" After saying this, the stall owner smiled and winked at Jiang Yuan.

Before the stall owner asked any questions, Jiang Yuan was very nervous, fearing that she would ask something she shouldn't ask, or questions that Jiang Yuan herself didn't know the answers to.

When she heard this question now, she almost thought she had misheard it. It was not until the stall owner repeated the question that she resisted the urge to vomit blood...
