Chapter 74
Looking at Xu Muan coming out of the yard, Sun Miaomiao was a little confused.
Sun Miaomiao had met Xu Muan before. In Sun Miaomiao’s impression, Xu Muan was a little gloomy, always dressed in a suit of coarse clothes. But now, although his clothes were simple, they were not low-end, and moreover, he looked somewhat bright like sunshine.
“Xu Muan, are you going out?” asked Sun Miaomiao as she went close to Xu Muan.
Xu Muan was surprised to come cross Sun Miaomiao. Xu Muan had seen Sun Miaomiao several times before. And when she met him, Sun Miaomiao had always skewed at him, but had never said hello to him.
“Yes! I’m short of things at home. I need to go out and buy some,” replied Xu Muan.
“I’ve heard that Xiao Jingting is totally obedient to you. Such a playboy like Xiao Jingting is unexpectedly well-behaved. You are really a man of ability,” Sun Miaomiao highly praised.
When Sun Qi and Zheng Liming left, they went everywhere and said that Xiao Jingting became a hen-pecked husband who was obedient to his wife and always followed her advice. He did not dare to do anything his wife did not allow him to do and he could do nothing but follow her orders. He would never go on the racket.
Xiao Jingting was sensitive about his reputation. He might become ashamed into anger and do something outrageous if he knew that he was well known as a hen-pecked husband.
Xu Muan smiled and said, “I cannot take all the credit. For a period of time in Mound Village, Xiao Jingting was well-behaved as he lived from hand to mouth.”
“It seems that you have suffered a lot in Mound Village!” said Sun Miaomiao with full of sympathy.
“It was a lot of pain, but a blessing in disguise,” said Xu Muan.
Hearing that from Xu Muan, Sun Miaomiao immediately thought of Heaven Wealth and Land Treasure in the forests near Mound Village, “Congratulations, Xu Muan, you are really blessed.”
“Thank you, and I have to leave you alone,” said Xu Muan.
Sun Miaomiao nodded and said, “See you.”
Sun Miaomiao’s face became gloomy as she looked at Xu Muan’s back. Xiao Jingting was very cold to Sun Miaomiao when he came back. It was impossible for Sun Miaomiao to accept the fact that she was beaten by a man.
“Why did you come so late?” asked Xiao Jingting casually as he waited at the door for Xu Muan.
“I met Sun Miaomiao, and I was delayed for a while,” said Xu Muan.
“Oh,” Xiao Jingting nodded.
“Is there anyone else to come?” asked Xu Muan.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Well, I have to wait for Second Brother. I don’t have good taste and good eyes. I will ask him for a favor as he comes soon.”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “You are right. When will Second Brother arrive?”
“He may be here soon after he helped Mu Shuyu settle down,” said Xiao Jingting.
Xu Muan smiled and said, “Second Brother has a good relationship with Shuyu.”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Exactly.”
“Sorry to keep you waiting,” said Xiao Jinfeng as he walked out.
“You’re welcome,” said Xiao Jingting.
“Shall we go, brother?” asked Xu Muan.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “OK!”
…………………
They were immediately received by a trained clerk after Xiao Jingting, Xu Muan and Xiao Jinfeng entered a commercial house.
“This collection of storage rings, which are all built by Master Zhao Li, are beautifully designed and have an internal space of 150 square meters. The space structure is very stable. They are very convenient to install preys in the wild. It’s worth twelve thousand taels of silver for each.”
Xiao Jingting rubbed his nose and said to himself, ‘twelve thousand taels, how expensive it is!’ He had thought he was a rich man, but suddenly he found he was poor indeed!
“Masters, do you prefer anything?” asked the receptionist.
Xiao Jingting cleared his throat, pretending to be calm, “Show us something else.”
In fact, Xiao Jinfeng was satisfied, but he was scared off as he thought of the price. In the wild, they would fight a quick battle. Being afraid the blood would attract other monster beasts, sometimes, they only picked up the most valuable parts of the monster beast as they killed them. It would be wasteful. But it would be different if they had a storage ring. However, a storage ring was too expensive. Generally, a mercenary member used a store bag.
After taking one more look at the space storage rings, Xiao Jinfeng turned to other items.
“These are talismans. The talismans in our shop are high-quality. These are level 4 talismans, these are level 5 talismans, and these are level 6 talismans. The selling price for a level 4 talisman is around one hundred taels of silver, a level 5 talisman is around two hundred taels of silver, and a level 6 talisman is around four hundred taels of silver. A talisman is necessary in case that you come across a senior monster beast in the wild. Sometimes one more talisman means you have one more life!” said the receptionist.
Thinking of Xiao Jingting’s improper use of talismans to waste large amount of money, Xu Muan felt heartbroken.
“We won’t be fighting in the near future. Show us something else,” said Xu Muan.
The receptionist smiled and said, “Masters, please go to have a look at the high-end magic tools. We have recently got a new one, which is very suitable for Master Xiao Jingting.”
Xu Muan smiled and said, “Sounds good!” Xu Muan had not seen many advanced magic tools, but he wanted to gain some experience even though they were not affordable.
“Follow me, please.”
