Chapter 718 - Rematch (1/2)
”What do you want me to do with this?” Xiao Hua lifted the storage pouch Feng Yuxiang gave her.
”Oh, there's nothing but spirit stones inside. You can help me— the Young Master buy medicine for his body temperament.” Feng Yuxiang replied.
”You want me to go shopping with you…?” Xiao Hua mumbled.
Feng Yuxiang pondered for a moment before speaking, ”How about this? Let's have a rematch. I lost the previous one because you technically cheated by going to the upper heavens. This time, whoever purchases the most treasures will win.”
”That's not fair.” Xiao Hua immediately frowned. ”You have already spent 3 days buying many treasures.”
”Don't worry, I won't count those. I will also start from scratch, and I will limit my budget to your budget as well. How does that sound? That's fair, right?”
”I guess…”
”But let me be really clear this time! You are not allowed to go to the upper heavens to purchase treasures! And the treasures purchased must be for body tempering!”
”I won't.”
”Good! Then I will meet you at the House of Riches in four days, when the Flood Dragon's scale is going to be auctioned off. May the best shopper win!”
After that, Feng Yuxiang and Xiao Hua went their separate ways, but they both had the same objective— to acquire as many treasures as possible.
Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Chu Liuxiang came out of her room after a week of studying her techniques.
”How's your progress?” Yuan asked her.
”I managed to learn one of the techniques, but the other one might take a little bit longer. Despite both being Heaven-rank techniques, the Glacial Ice Dragon is much more complex. However, even if I learn both skills, I won't be able to use either of them at my cultivation. I simply don't have enough Qi.”
”I should really start cultivating properly. I am already behind as it is.” Chu Liuxiang sighed.
”Once Feng Feng finishes selling the treasures, I will be able to buy resources to boost your cultivation level.” Yuan said.
”As much as I like the feeling of being spoiled by you, I don't like the feeling of taking advantage of you. Is there anything you want in return?”
”Not really. I don't need any compensation for helping you, or it won't feel like I am helping you.”
”It's not a compensation. If you do me a favor, it's only natural that I return the favor. It's called expressing one's gratitude, and that is being polite.”
”Even if I say that, there's nothing that I want— at least I can't think of anything right now.” Yuan shook his head.
”That's okay. You can let me know once you think of something. Until then, I will be indebted to you.” Chu Liuxiang smiled.
”By the way, how's your situation with your family? It's almost the end of the month, you know?” Yuan suddenly asked.
A bittersweet smile appeared on her face as she spoke, ”Their calls are becoming more frequent, and of course, my family is getting angrier.”
”It's alright though. I will visit them at the end of this week to let them know my feelings,” she added.
”Okay.” Yuan nodded.
Sometime later, Yuan placed the level 3 array symbol manual down and asked Chu Liuxiang, ”Do you want to get some food? I have watched thousands of people enter and leave this restaurant that's directly across from us.”
”Sure. I need some fresh air, anyway.”
”What about you, Yingying?”
Lan Yingying transformed back to her human form and nodded, ”Yes.”
”Let me ask Min as well.”
