On the small boat, when Song Ciwan said, "thirty taels for a painting," a long silence descended around her.
A good while passed. A gust of wind blew across the water, and a small fish suddenly leaped into the air, landing with a splash on the deck. The Big White Goose rushed excitedly to the edge of the boat, stretched out its neck, and with a single peck, precisely snatched the little fish in its beak.
Only then did Song Ciwan hear two gasps of shock, one after the other.
"Huh?" It was Aunt Wen who asked in disbelief. "Miss, what did you just say?"
"Ahh!" The gasp of delight came from Aunt Wen's daughter, Xiaoni, who then quickly clapped a hand over her mouth.
Following that were two surging waves of human desires.
[Human Desires: A mortal's surprise, confusion, and bewilderment. Five jin and two liang. Tradable.]
Qi Over Five Jin. Aunt Wen was thrilled, yet bewildered.
[Human Desires: A mortal's surprise, joy, and elation. Four jin and three liang. Tradable.]
