In her impression, Xu Muan always wore coarse, simple clothing and had a gloomy demeanor. Now, even though Xu Muan\u2019s clothes were still plain, it was obvious they were of higher quality, and his whole aura radiated a kind of sunny vitality.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cMuan, are you going out?\u201d Sun Miaomiao walked up to Xu Muan and asked.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xu Muan was a little surprised to see Sun Miaomiao. He had met her a few times before, but Sun Miaomiao had never even looked at him, let alone spoken.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cYeah, we\u2019re missing a lot of things at home, so I\u2019m heading out to buy some,\u201d Xu Muan replied.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cI heard you have Jingting completely under control. I never thought someone as much a playboy as Jingting would settle down. Young master Xu, you\u2019re really something,\u201d Sun Miaomiao said admiringly.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">After Sun Qi and Zheng Liming left, they talked everywhere about how Xiao Jingting was now totally henpecked\u2014he listened to his wife in everything, didn\u2019t dare contradict her, and no longer dared to go carousing.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">The old Xiao Jingting cared a lot about face. If he knew people thought he was afraid of his wife, he\u2019d likely be enraged and do something ridiculous.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xu Muan just smiled and said, \u201cIt\u2019s not really to my credit. Back in Tuqiu Village, there was a period when we hardly had enough to eat. That\u2019s when Jingting settled down.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cSeems you really suffered a lot in Tuqiu Village,\u201d Sun Miaomiao said, full of sympathy.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cEven though we suffered, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise,\u201d Xu Muan replied.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Hearing this, Sun Miaomiao immediately thought of the rare spiritual treasure in the mountains near Tuqiu Village. \u201cCongratulations, Muan! You really have deep good fortune.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cIt\u2019s nothing. I have things to do, so I\u2019ll be off,\u201d Xu Muan said.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Sun Miaomiao nodded, \u201cAlright.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">She watched Xu Muan\u2019s back as he walked away, her expression darkening. This time, Xiao Jingting treated her coldly. Sun Miaomiao simply couldn\u2019t accept being outdone by a man.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cYou\u2019re late!\u201d Xiao Jingting, waiting at the door, called out casually when he saw Xu Muan.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cI ran into Sun Miaomiao and got held up a bit,\u201d said Xu Muan.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting nodded and gave an \u201cOh.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cAre we still waiting on someone?\u201d Xu Muan asked.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting nodded, \u201cMm, still waiting on Second Brother. My eyesight isn\u2019t great\u2014when he comes, I\u2019ll have him help me look over things.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xu Muan nodded, \u201cMakes sense. When will Second Brother be here?\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cShould be soon\u2014he\u2019ll come as soon as he\u2019s settled his wife,\u201d said Xiao Jingting.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xu Muan smiled, \u201cSecond Brother and his wife are really close.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting nodded, \u201cThey sure are.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cMade you wait?\u201d Xiao Jingfeng came out and asked.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cNot really,\u201d said Xiao Jingting.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cSecond Brother, let\u2019s go,\u201d Xu Muan said.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting nodded, \u201cAlright!\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u2026\u2026<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">When the three arrived at the shop, a well-trained clerk came to receive them immediately.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cThis batch of storage rings was crafted by Master Refiner Zhao Li. Not only are the styles elegant, but they also have 150 square meters of internal space. The spatial structure is extremely stable and very convenient for carrying game while hunting. The price for each is 12,000 taels of silver.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting rubbed his nose and thought: 12,000 taels\u2014he used to think he had some money, but now he felt suddenly poor!<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cDo the two Young Master Xiao need anything?\u201d the attendant asked.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting cleared his throat and tried to sound calm. \u201cLet\u2019s look at something else.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingfeng was a little tempted, but the price made him back off. In the wild, after killing prey, the scent of blood could attract other beasts, so they had to act quickly\u2014sometimes grabbing only the most valuable parts, which was really wasteful. If they had a storage ring, things would be different. But the rings were too expensive; mercenary teams usually used storage bags.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Reluctantly, Xiao Jingfeng glanced a couple more times at the storage rings before moving on.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cHere we have talismans\u2014all of very high quality. Here are Grade Four, here Grade Five, here Grade Six. Grade Four talismans go for about 100 taels, Grade Five about 200, Grade Six about 400. When you run into high-level monsters in the wild, talismans can be life-saving weapons; having one more talisman might mean one more life,\u201d the clerk said.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xu Muan thought of how Xiao Jingting flung talismans recklessly in battle and felt that all the silver had just been thrown away.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cWe\u2019re not going adventuring any time soon. Let\u2019s take a look at something else,\u201d Xu Muan said.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">The clerk smiled, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you check out our premium magic item section? We just received a new magical item that\u2019s perfect for Young Master Jingting.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xu Muan smiled, \u201cSure!\u201d He hadn\u2019t seen many high-level magic items; he figured even if they couldn\u2019t buy anything, it would be good to see them.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cThis way, please.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cThis is a spirit tower especially made for spirit plant cultivators. There are array patterns on it that amplify spiritual power. When you use Growth of All Things, if you pair it with this spirit tower, the effective area of your technique increases by half. The same applies to other techniques.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cThe materials used for this spirit tower are exceptionally tough. The tower can grow bigger; if you run into a beast that you simply can\u2019t handle, you can hide inside. The tower will completely conceal your aura, and after enough time passes, the beast will probably leave, so you can save your life.\u201d The spirit tower is designed for spirit planters, who often lack fighting power, so the artifact makers worked hard to develop this function.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cThis spirit tower is also a magic item you can use in combat\u2014it\u2019s not outclassed even fighting someone at eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining. In fact, the item is only half-finished; if opportunity arises, Young Master Xiao might be able to further upgrade it.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting\u2019s eyes sparkled. \u201cSuch a good magical item must cost a lot of silver, right?\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201c120,000 taels, but you can pay in installments, though there will be some interest. Young Master can open a silver card, pay 30,000 upfront, then 10,000 each month for ten months.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting\u2019s eyes widened. This world even had such high-class things as installment plans! But thinking about it, the history of the Wild Continent was much longer than Earth\u2019s. Over so many years, it wasn\u2019t surprising such things existed. The down payment was 30,000, ten monthly payments totaled 130,000, an extra 10,000 taels\u2014what a ripoff!<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cYoung Master, this magical item was refined by a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Our shop only has one. If you want it, you have to act fast; if you\u2019re late and someone else gets it, it\u2019ll be gone.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Looking at the eager smile on the clerk\u2019s face, Xiao Jingting felt like a cat was clawing at his heart.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingfeng looked at Xiao Jingting and said, \u201cJingting, this spirit tower really suits you.\u201d Expensive as it was, it would last a long time. Even at the fourth level, Xiao Jingting had shown great ability to make money; at level five, it should be even better.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xu Muan saw Xiao Jingting\u2019s hesitation and said, \u201cWhy not buy it?\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting nodded. \u201cAlright.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Steeling himself, he bought the spirit tower.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">The attendant looked at Xiao Jingting, hardly able to hide his surprise.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">The attendant had not really expected him to buy the spirit tower\u2014he\u2019d spoken at length in hopes Xiao Jingting would mention the item to Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu, who might be interested. He hadn\u2019t expected Jingting to just buy it.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u2026\u2026<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cXiao Jingfeng.\u201d A voice, uncertain and slightly surprised, called out. Xiao Jingfeng turned, frowning.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting looked at the newcomers. Seeing that they were dressed as mercenaries, he immediately guessed their identities. Really, it was a small world!<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">The leader, Hua Yufeng, looked at Xiao Jingfeng with a dark face. Several mercenaries behind him avoided meeting Jingfeng\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cYoung Master Jingting, here is your VIP card. You are now a Gold-level member in our store. From now on, you get a 5% discount, and you\u2019re always welcome,\u201d the clerk said enthusiastically.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting\u2019s face contorted slightly. This shop really didn\u2019t know how to do business\u2014things were so expensive and the discount so low. Shouldn\u2019t they at least give 20% off?<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Hua Yufeng was surprised to hear this. The shop\u2019s rule was: spend over 1,000 taels to be a regular member, 10,000 for Silver, 100,000 for Gold, and over a million for Platinum.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Hua Yufeng was now a Silver member, and when he heard Xiao Jingting was Gold, he couldn\u2019t help feeling jealous.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cLet\u2019s go,\u201d Xiao Jingfeng said to Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingting nodded, and the three left together; from start to finish, Xiao Jingfeng didn\u2019t greet Hua Yufeng or his group.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cSecond Brother, were those your old teammates?\u201d After leaving the shop, Xiao Jingting asked.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingfeng nodded, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">He had long known that coming back to Mo City, he was bound to run into them. He\u2019d imagined the scene, thought it would be hard, but when it really happened it was fine. The past cannot be chased; it\u2019s all over.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cSecond Brother, that lead guy really has a face that screams ingratitude. It\u2019s a good thing you got kicked out\u2014otherwise you\u2019d have been dragged down sooner or later,\u201d Xiao Jingting said. He had inquired about the mercenary team\u2019s situation; under Hua Yufeng\u2019s leadership, the team had been going downhill, and many people had already left.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">Xiao Jingfeng smiled. Hua Yufeng still looked proper enough, but as for his character\u2026<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"my-0\">\u201cAlright, it\u2019s all in the past now\u201d Xiao Jingfeng said. He wasn\u2019t a saint; after such a betrayal, there was no way he\u2019d repay it with virtue.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Edited by: Tetsu<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Proofreader: Taalia<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=25191841\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"51\" class=\"wp-image-338 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/become_a_patron_button.png?resize=217%2C51\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 217px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 217\/51;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/lajnaa\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kofi3-3.png?resize=185%2C47\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is kofi3-3.png\" width=\"185\" height=\"47\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 185px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 185\/47;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sun Miaomiao looked at Xu Muan as he walked out from the other courtyard, a trace of confusion flickering in her eyes.
