Shopping and Taking Flender for a Ride

Registration doesn't start for another two days, so there's no need to rush.

The next day, Chu Xuan took Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing out shopping.

There's not much to see in Spirit City.

Although it is a sacred place in the hearts of countless Soul Masters in the Douluo Continent, it is too solemn.

Even the commercial districts aren't very interesting.

It's not even as good as Suotuo City.

Strictly speaking, Spirit City is a fortress and a temple.

It was filled with a sense of solemnity and sanctity.

Suotuo City, on the other hand, had a more vibrant atmosphere and was also an important granary for the Balak Kingdom, so it had many merchants coming and going, resulting in prosperous trade and a developed economy.

Despite being only a medium-sized city, its economic benefits are more exaggerated than those of many large cities.

So there are quite a few places to visit here.

The commercial district is also very lively.

The streets were bustling with traffic and crowds of people.

If you're not careful, you could get separated by the crowd.

"Isn't it too lively?"

Xiao Wu sighed deeply, realizing that people had exaggerated to the extreme.

As far as the eye can see, there is a wall of people everywhere.

Zhu Zhuqing had no interest in shopping.

Last night I shared a room with Chu Xuan and the others, and slept in the same bed with Xiao Wu.

But I spent the whole night thinking about things.

Thinking of my mother, thinking of my future.

Now that she is following Chu Xuan, she has, in a sense, defied fate and changed her destiny.

After all, her fate was intertwined with Dai Mubai's.

She will become Dai Mubai's woman in the future.

Now that she understands what kind of person Dai Mubai is, she knows there's absolutely no way she could be with him.

The remaining issues are personal safety and revenge.

She cannot achieve revenge on her own.

Not at least not now.

Therefore, we must rely on Chu Xuan's power.

Chu Xuan nurtured himself, waiting until he had enough power to return to the Star Luo Empire and avenge himself.

The price she had to pay was to follow Chu Xuan and become his maid.

It sounds somewhat ironic that the dignified Miss Zhu Family has become a maid.

But this is the best option for her right now.

Chu Xuan, this extraordinary prodigy, holds an extremely high position in the Spirit Hall, which is exactly what she needs.

She had secretly asked Xiao Wu when she left, and only then did she learn that Chu Xuan was actually the Spirit Hall God Child who had caused such a stir recently.

No one outside the circle knows what kind of position the God Child holds.

What is certain is that the Spirit Hall's massive mobilization and extensive publicity indicate that this identity is extremely high.

They are definitely superior to the so-called holy sons and daughters.

"Brother Xuan, is that a sugar painting?"

Xiao Wu looked at the street vendors with great interest.

Since her mother's resurrection, she is now much more cheerful.

The unpleasant things are over; now it's time to live well for myself.

"You like it? Then buy it."

"Zhu Zhuqing, you're going too."

"Thank you, Master."

Zhu Zhuqing said in a low voice, Chu Xuan couldn't help but rub his forehead.

Why are you shouting like that outside?

It's easy for people to misunderstand, isn't it?

If some so-called righteous people find out, they're guaranteed to get an electric shock.

After all, Zhu Zhuqing is only twelve years old!

Despite her exaggerated figure and stunning beauty, it can't hide her young age.

The three of them went to a vendor's stall, bought some sugar paintings, and then went to browse other places.

The whole day consisted mainly of eating, drinking, and watching some activities and performances.

It was quite lively, relatively speaking.

Chu Xuan also wanted to check out the shady shops in Flender.

There's a piece of sheet metal there; the Dragon Whisker Needle inside are quite useful.

In the past, he wouldn't have cared.

But now that we have the ability to Complete Explanation of Hidden Weapon, using some of Hidden Weapon is quite interesting.

"Brother Xuan, this shop feels weird."

The three of them went inside. Xiao Wu looked at the items on the counter; most of them were not very valuable.

But the price tag is outrageous.

"It might be a rip-off."

Zhu Zhuqing said in a low voice.

Ultimately, they have received professional training and are knowledgeable.

Just by looking at this shop, you can tell it's definitely a rip-off.

Who sells things like this, even if they're a decent person?

Chu Xuan nodded slightly and began searching for the sheet metal.

But I also saw Flender on a recliner in the corner.

His eyes were closed, and he looked very relaxed, seemingly unaware that they had come in.

This guy's faking it!

Chu Xuan smiled inwardly, knowing Flender's personality all too well.

Although his eyes were closed, his mental energy continued to envelop the entire store.

You can tell if anything is missing.

[Ding! God-Level Choice quest has been triggered. Please choose one!]

[Option 1: Take the sheet metal by any means without being detected; reward: Flying Dragon Cloud-Probing Hand!]

[Option 2: Purchase sheet metal from Flender and accept any price offered by him; rewarded with the title of 'Honest Man'!]

This can trigger a selection?

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes, seemingly finding it somewhat interesting.

The Flying Dragon Cloud-Probing Hand is a skill of a legendary thief, leaving no trace and impossible to find.

It's perfect for stealing things.

However, it can also be used in another way.

For example, it can be used in Hidden Weapon weapons that involve specific techniques.

The effect will definitely be more terrifying than any Mysterious Jade Hand.

The enhancement of Mysterious Jade Hand's skills in using Hidden Weapon is far inferior to that of Flying Dragon Cloud-Probing Hand!

Since the system says to take the sheet metal by any means, that makes things much simpler.

"Mental Interference!"

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Myriad Head Soul Bone skill was activated, and mental fluctuations swept across the entire shop in an instant.

Flender, who was pretending to be clueless while reclining in his chair, suddenly opened his eyes and scratched his head in confusion.

What just happened?

He frowned, as if something had happened, but he couldn't remember anything.

Chu Xuan chuckled inwardly. The sheet metal had already been stored in the system's storage space. Mission complete!

His mental interference originated from Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, so its effect was absolutely formidable.

It can not only block Flender's mental influence, but also cause short-term memory confusion.

Flender is now caught in the crossfire.

"Let's go, there's nothing good here."

Chu Xuan said something, then turned and left with the two girls.

"Stop."

Flender seemed to only then realize what was happening, and immediately shouted.

"Is something the matter?"

Chu Xuan stopped in his tracks, Flender frowned.

"Nothing much, aren't you going to buy something?"

"No, the stuff is rubbish and overpriced. Take this piece of purple clay gold ore, for example. It's only good for making teaware; it's not very useful. But you've packaged it as purple gold ore. The original price should be three Silver Soul Coin, and you can buy it for six Copper Soul Coin in the source area. You're selling it for sixty Gold Soul Coin here. How can you be so shameless?"

Flender was stunned upon hearing this.

Holy crap!

Did you meet an expert?

"Ahem~ Is this purple gold ore? It was purple gold ore when I bought it, but I don't know the specifics..."

Flender blurted out, and Chu Xuan chuckled a few times.

"Was it purple gold ore when you bought it? Then where is the purchase invoice? When was it purchased? If you can't produce the invoice, I'll report you to the city lord's mansion for running a shady business and selling counterfeit goods."

Upon hearing this, Flender's expression changed drastically, and he quickly put on a smiling face.

"Oh dear, oh dear~ What are you saying, young friend? It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding indeed."

"There must be some mistake somewhere, please don't be offended."

As he spoke, he took out a money bag.

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow, his face stern, and said, "What do you mean? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would sell my conscience for a little bit of profit?"

Flender's lips twitched violently, and he took out another money pouch.
