Scalp-Tingling

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat heavy. Although Wen Lanfeng didn't know what had happened, he knew that no one wanted to say anything, so he summoned the person in charge of the shop and arranged rooms for everyone.

Furong naturally stayed with Yue Qianchou, since their relationship was already public, there was nothing to hide. After returning to the room, Yue Qianchou's expression was still a bit off. Furong, holding his arm, asked weakly, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy because I came here without telling you? Then I'll ask Senior Nong Zhu to take me back."

Yue Qianchou was taken aback, turned to look at her, and suddenly smiled, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not unhappy at all. I was just thinking that this Treasure Gathering Basin is very lively. I wonder if Furong would be willing to go out for a stroll if I took Furong out."

"Of course!" Furong perked up immediately, clinging to Yue Qianchou's arm and launching into a tirade of complaints. "As soon as Ziyi and I arrived here, Senior Nong Zhu told us not to wander off. We saw how lively it was down below from God of Wealth Peak! We've been wanting to go see it for ages... Will you take me there now?"

Although she asked in a questioning tone, her face was full of hope. How could Yue Qianchou bear to refuse her? He immediately took her hand and said with a smile, "Come on, I'll take you to see it now."

Furong followed him out with a joyful expression. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard someone shout from upstairs, "Where are you going?" They both looked up and saw Ziyi peeking her head out of the window.

Furong smiled brightly and said, "Let's go outside and take a look."

"Ah!" Ziyi screamed and jumped out of the window without saying a word. She grabbed Furong's arm and complained, "You Furong, you didn't even invite me when you went out to play." Then she turned to Yue Qianchou and said, "I'm going too."

Yue Qianchou was about to refuse and tell her to go back when he saw Furong looking at him expectantly. Yue Qianchou immediately lost his temper and silently agreed. Ziyi cheered and pulled Furong out.

Yue Qianchou immediately felt a chill run down his spine. Shopping with one woman was already a challenge for most men, let alone two. He needed to be fully prepared mentally. Yue Qianchou took a deep breath, patted his chest forcefully, and followed behind the two women.

Nong Zhu, looking out the window upstairs, shook her head speechlessly. Wen Lanfeng, standing nearby, seemed thoughtful and asked, "Nong Zhu, what's the story behind that woman in Ziyi getting married?"

"I absolutely refuse to admit to this!" Nong Zhu shook her head repeatedly, saying, "That kid is talking nonsense, it's not true..."

As soon as Yue Qianchou emerged from the Wen Family Shop, he immediately attracted a lot of attention. Yue Qianchou glanced coldly around, but the two women didn't care. They excitedly looked around, their eyes sparkling. Starting from the shop next to the Wen family's, the two didn't miss a single one, excitedly running inside hand in hand. Yue Qianchou was speechless and could only follow them in, maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor as he watched them choose their items.

Before long, the two women had each piled up a large heap of colorful items on the counter. Yue Qianchou was standing by the counter, trying hard to figure out what they were selling, when he heard Ziyi slam her hand on the counter, making a loud thud, and say, "That's about enough. How much?"

The shopkeeper pulled over an abacus, did some quick calculations, and then said with a smile, "Since you two esteemed guests have purchased so much, we'll give you a discount. We won't charge the odd amount; just pay 1.8 million high-grade Spirit Stones."

Yue Qianchou rummaged through the items on the counter, frowning as he asked, "What are all these things? Are they really worth 1.8 million high-grade Spirit Stones?"

Upon hearing the price, Furong was startled. She had never spent so many Spirit Stone before, nor had she ever even seen such a price. Since leaving Fu Xian Island with Yue Qianchou, she had only made a few large purchases in Dayang City, all in gold and silver. Hearing that it cost 1.8 million high-grade Spirit Stones, she immediately tugged at Ziyi and said, "It's too expensive! Let's not buy it!"

"He's rich." The Ziyi pointed at Yue Qianchou, then pulled over Furong's Storage Bag and filled it with everything in front of her, before filling her own bag as well. She then dragged Furong out...

Yue Qianchou paid the bill silently and was seen out by the shopkeeper with a smile. Once on the street, he realized the two women were nowhere to be seen. He tried going to the shop next door and found them indeed browsing things inside. He smiled wryly and went in...

The Treasure Gathering Basin was exceptionally luxurious, with a dazzling array of items for you to choose from, provided you had the money. Many things were completely unnecessary for Yue Qianchou, but the two women would buy them anything they liked or thought was pretty, regardless of whether it was useful or not.

Fortunately Yue Qianchou has no shortage of money these days, but even that money hurts him to spend. It's not that he's stingy with money, but some of the things he buys are completely useless, a complete waste of Spirit Stone...

They gritted their teeth and spent most of the day accompanying the customers, going on a shopping spree that swept through the entire Treasure Gathering Basin. Shops were always delighted to have customers like this. The three women, feeling embarrassed about how much they had spent, finally returned to the Wen Family Shop after buying so much that it filled over a dozen Storage Bag. As soon as they got back, the two women immediately went to their room to tally their spoils.

Yue Qianchou, with a sullen face, called Mo Shaojun to come out with him. Just as they reached the courtyard, a head popped out of the top-floor window and called out, "Yue Qianchou, come up here for a moment." It was Nong Zhu.

Yue Qianchou told Mo Shaojun to wait a moment, then leaped through the window and entered. Seeing Wen Lanfeng and the other two there, he bowed and asked Nong Zhu, "What is it?"

Nong Zhu his hands behind his back and said expressionlessly, "You and Niu Youde are old acquaintances, help me contact him, I need to talk to him about something."

Yue Qianchou was taken aback, wondering what Nong Zhu was up to, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you looking for him?"

Nong Zhu pointed to Wen Lanfeng and Lou Yanqing, "That's right, they also want a batch of Restriction Breaking Pill and Seven Treasures Pill. They're old friends, so we definitely have to help them out."

Yue Qianchou was speechless. "Since they're old friends, don't harm them. But the secret of the Restriction Breaking Pill isn't something to discuss now." He hesitated slightly before saying, "This isn't a big problem. I'll personally deliver it to you two seniors in a while. I have some things to attend to right now..."

Wen Lanfeng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Since it's not a big problem, it's okay to be a little late. Go ahead and do what you need to do!" Lou Yanqing didn't say anything and stood quietly to the side.

To everyone's surprise Nong Zhu snorted coldly and said, "Come on, what could you possibly be busy with? You're just doing some petty theft. Let's settle this matter first."

"I'm stealing chickens and dogs?" Yue Qianchou was furious upon hearing this, and he roared, "Your disciple Ziyi spent more than 800 million high-grade Spirit Stones of mine in just half a day. I'm busy earning back the money I spent. Do you think I'm busy or not? If you return my 800 million high-grade Spirit Stones now, I'll deal with what you're talking about immediately."

Eight hundred million high-grade Spirit Stones! The room immediately fell silent, everyone shocked by such a huge sum. Nong Zhu then asked weakly, "Ziyi can spend so much money in half a day? Impossible?"

Yue Qianchou chuckled coldly, "I also hope it's impossible, but your disciple would love to stuff the entire Treasure Gathering Basin into her Storage Bag. Eight hundred million is a small sum. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself now. I'll take my leave now." With that, he darted out the window.

The three looked at each other in bewilderment. After a long while, Nong Zhu turned around and said, "I'll go down and see what Ziyi is up to. She can spend eight hundred million." Wen Lanfeng and Lou Yanqing exchanged a glance and followed her. They also wanted to see for themselves.

When the three arrived at Ziyi's room, they found it filled with all sorts of things. Ziyi and Furong were chattering and laughing among the piles of things, like two thieves dividing up their loot. Upon seeing the three, the two women casually tossed aside what they were carrying and bowed.

The three were utterly speechless at the mess in the room. At Nong Zhu's feet lay a large, clean, transparent bottle, which he picked up and examined. Based on their experience, they immediately recognized its purpose: it was a concoction used to extract corpse poison from dead bodies, a tool employed by less sophisticated Alchemist. Holding the bottle, Nong Zhu asked Ziyi, "Did you buy this?"

Ziyi nodded, Nong Zhu asked again, "Why did you buy this?" Ziyi answered frankly, "Because it's pretty." Nong Zhu coughed and asked, "How much did you spend on this trip?" Ziyi thought for a moment, looked at Furong, and said, "The money we spent together should be less than two billion high-grade Spirit Stones!"

"Two billion high-grade Spirit Stones?" Nong Zhu exclaimed in surprise. Looking at the things in the room, she said incredulously, "These things are worth two billion high-grade Spirit Stones?"

"And there's more." Ziyi moved aside and pointed to the dozen or so Storage Bag on the table behind her. "The room is a bit small. There's not enough room in just one Storage Bag. We haven't taken out the rest of the things yet!"

Nong Zhu and the other two stared speechlessly at the dozen or so bulging Storage Bag. Now they truly believed they had spent so much money. Ziyi, noticing the three silent men, asked curiously, "Master, did you need something from me?"

"It's alright, you guys continue." Nong Zhu waved her hand, glanced at the various items in the room, and turned to leave, sweating profusely. After the three of them left, the two women continued chattering away as they rummaged through their spoils.

After the three returned to the top floor, Lou Yanqing, who had been silent until now, sighed, "It seems that Yue Qianchou was right when he said that Ziyi spent eight hundred million. This is still without including the Furong flower."

"Spending eight hundred million in half a day, my goodness! Her shopping trip is worth more than a hundred years of my Wen family's wealth." Wen Lanfeng patted Nong Zhu's shoulder with a sigh and said, "When Ziyi is looking for a partner, she must find someone extremely wealthy. Someone with the financial resources of my Wen family is definitely out of reach. I think only someone with the financial resources of Yin Baikang can be a match for her, but I estimate that even Yin Baikang would back down when he sees her."

"Stop talking nonsense. Ziyi only did it once in a while." Nong Zhu rolled her eyes and snorted, "That kid has money. Spending a little money on him is giving him face."

Wen Lanfeng chuckled and said, "But I saw that Yue Qianchou's face was dark, as if he was very unwilling to save face."
