Chapter 367: Chapter 319: Trying to Charm Me?

She blinked. The upward-sweeping crimson eyeliner made Shopkeeper Mary’s gaze even more alluring.

"I haven’t had the pleasure of asking your name."

"Zelir."

"Oh... Mage Zelir."

Shopkeeper Mary’s tone was melodious.

"I must be frank. While these Magic Plants are all quite precious, they do have a few blemishes."

"Take the Evening Primrose, for example. Some of the Moonlight Silver Powder on its surface has evaporated... I imagine some time has passed since it was picked, hasn’t it?"

Shopkeeper Mary shook her head slightly.

"That will affect the quality of the final Magic Potion."

"And the Vitality Orchid—its leaves are slightly damaged, and the essence within is a bit chaotic. It must have been disturbed..."

"The cyclones on the surface of the Gale Wind Golden Bell are also disrupted, and Magic Potions made from it don’t have a very wide market..."

With this barrage of seemingly reasonable nitpicking, the buy-back price for the Magic Plants was incrementally pushed lower and lower.

"So, this is my final offer."

Shopkeeper Mary smiled faintly, her true intentions finally revealed.

"Vitality Orchid, fifteen Gold Coins per plant."

"Evening Primrose, twenty-five Gold Coins per plant."

"Gale Wind Golden Bell, twenty gold coins each."

"For the Firethorn, I can offer a buy-back price of fifty Gold Coins."

"Ghostly Night-blooming Cereus, Thirty Gold Coins."

As she stated her prices, Mary’s buxom torso leaned against Zelir’s shoulder, as if by accident.

In that instant, an astonishingly soft sensation came through his Magic Robe.

"This price is already very fair... Say yes, won’t you?"

Mary’s voice dropped even lower, a seductive, breathy whisper that tickled Zelir’s ear.

"And who knows, maybe next time you visit, I’ll give you a special discount...~"

As she spoke, the Bracelet on her right wrist flashed imperceptibly with a faint pink light.

A cloyingly sweet fragrance began to spread.

A seemingly invisible wave of energy made Madam Mary’s every smile and every glance even more captivating than before.

She was filled with an irresistible Charm.

Even Zelir found it difficult to look away.

A dazed look appeared in his eyes, as if he had been mesmerized.

Seeing Zelir’s expression, Shopkeeper Mary curled her red lips in a smug smile and secretly glanced at the Bracelet she wore.

’Heh...’

’Spending a fortune on this was the right decision after all.’

’A Magic Accessory that enhances my Charm, combined with the looks and figure I’m so proud of...’

’It makes me practically invincible when haggling with hot-blooded Adventurers!’

However, when Mary looked up and met Zelir’s eyes again, she froze.

’This...’

’What’s happening?’

’Why do I suddenly feel... like something is wrong?’

She could only feel that Zelir’s already handsome face had become even more captivating.

Zelir’s eyes captured Shopkeeper Mary’s gaze, making it impossible for her to look away.

A sudden heat rose from the depths of her heart, spreading through her entire body.

Shopkeeper Mary’s heart began to race uncontrollably.

Even her throat went dry.

’If leaning close to Zelir before was just to better cast her enchantment... then now, Mary genuinely wanted to be closer to him... wanted to press her body against his and spend the long night together...’

"My apologies, Shopkeeper Mary."

Zelir gave a faint, playful smile.

"I find your recent offer to be a bit biased. The prices... they’re a little too low, don’t you think?"

Zelir had already seen through the abnormal Magic Wave coming from Shopkeeper Mary.

’This trick might work on other people. But against me... Sorry, but you’ve picked the wrong person.’

’Eye of Enchantment, activate!’
