Chapter 700 - Plans For Tomorrow (1/2)

After she fixed her appearance and dressed appropriately, Meixiu went outside to find Yuan and the others.

”Sorry for this… I lost track of time and forgot about dinner.” Meixiu apologized to the others.

”Don't worry about it. It's not even your obligation to cook for us, so we cannot complain even if you decide to stop cooking for us.” Wang Bingbing said to her.

”My sister's right. If you need a break, just let us know. We can take care of our own dinner,” said Wang Ming.

”By the way, who knew there were restaurants on this mountain? I wasn't aware of their existence until Meixiu mentioned it and I looked it up.” Shi Lang said.

”I was also surprised by this information.” Xi Murong agreed.

”I saw a tall building on our way to the mansion. Perhaps that's where they are located,” Wu Zao recalled seeing a mall.

”Yes, that's the place.” Meixiu confirmed.

”There are other stores besides restaurants there, such as a convenience store, and even clothing stores, just like a real mall.”

”I was also told by a worker there that everything inside the mall is free.”

”What? Really? That sounds too good to be true.” Wang Ming said.

”Does it? If you think about it, we paid four billion dollars for a house here. That's more than enough to buy multiple malls, not to mention our ridiculous property tax.” Wang Bingbing said.

”That doesn't sound like a good idea, though. What if someone decides to take everything in the store? They can make decent money from doing that if they wished.” Hong Xiuquan asked.

”That won't happen.” Chu Liuxiang said.

”I have lived here for over a decade, and there has been no such case. First of all, everybody living in this place is so rich that they don't really need any more money, so they wouldn't go through the hassle of selling things from the mall. Secondly, it would ruin their dignity and face if word gets out, and nothing is more important than face in a society like this.”

”Lastly, if you abuse the mountain's generosity, they can easily take it away from you. Nobody dares to offend the Lord of this mountain, who can evict anybody living in this mountain even if they're permanent residents.”

”I have heard of this Lord a couple of times now, but I couldn't find any information about him. Have you seen the lord before, Miss Chu?” Wang Ming asked her.

She shook her head, ”No, I have not. In fact, I don't think my parents have seen him before either. He's just that mysterious and seclusive.”

”Rumor is that he's a powerful cultivator who has surpassed the limits of what a human can achieve, but we probably won't ever learn the legitimacy of such rumors,” Chu Liuxiang shrugged.

”Surpassed human limits…” Yuan mumbled to himself, and his interest— curiosity for this Lord reached a new level.

After arriving at the mall, they all agreed on a restaurant and went inside for dinner.

Sometime later, Yuan and the others left the restaurant after dinner, but they didn't immediately go back home.

Instead, they hung around the mall for another hour like a group of friends after a long day at school.

”Wow, these clothes are all brand names. The Lord of the mountain is truly a generous fellow to be giving out these expensive clothes for free!” Wang Bingbing was surprised by what she saw in the mall.
