Throw Money at Them!

Decorating the magic market with gold and glitter is meaningless. Everyone knows that many of the items in the market have been recycled and reused. The value hidden inside needs to be discovered by mages with discerning eyes. Good things will be snapped up even at street stalls, but no matter how well the scrap metal is decorated, no one will buy it!

After every major battle, the East Sea War City marketplace becomes exceptionally bustling. Countless items that haven't yet been properly appraised or examined are dumped here at rock-bottom prices. If you snatch one up and have it appraised at an auction, wow, if it turns out to be a genuine treasure, you'll instantly become rich!

Of course, Tang Miao didn't have that kind of vision, so he didn't intend to buy anything when he came in.

Just browsing...

Mu Ningxue did buy some things, but unsurprisingly, she definitely lost a lot of money.

Although Mu Ningxue felt a little sorry for him, she didn't initially care too much... But when she thought about the scoundrel next to her who kept taking advantage of her, practically glued to her the whole way, and who hadn't bought a single item, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

Mu Ningxue turned to look at Tang Miao and asked, "Isn't there anything you want to buy?"

Tang Miao was already clinging to her, and when she turned her head, the distance between them was less than three centimeters. A delicate fragrance wafted over.

Tang Miao was stunned for more than ten seconds before he finally replied when Mu Ningxue turned her head, "What's the point of buying it? I don't know anything about quality. If I buy it, I'll just lose money like you."

"You..."

These words made Mu Ningxue even more unhappy!

She seemed like a complete idiot... and Tang Miao, dragging her in here to shop? She was totally taking advantage of her...

"It's alright, suffering a loss is a blessing in disguise."

Tang Miao smiled, then said, "East Sea War City, that's a huge seafood market! So many Sea Monster corpses, and exquisite meat. How about I take you there for some delicious food?"

Mu Ningxue was taken aback, then shook her head slightly in disgust... Sea Monster, you can eat them?

Tang Miao added, "Don't reject it so quickly. You haven't even tried it, so how can you be sure you don't like it?"

After saying that, without caring whether she liked it or not, Tang Miao, quite willfully, put his arm around the cold beauty and headed towards a nearby restaurant.

This was Mu Ningxue's first time tasting Sea Monster meat, and Tang Miao was the same. However, seeing her expression of refusal, Tang Miao tasted it and, after confirming it was delicious, forced her to experience it as well.

After Mu Ningxue tried it, Tang Miao said with satisfaction, "How is it? It's delicious, isn't it?"

There's nothing demons can't eat; after all, they're basically mutated animals. They're all meat, so what's wrong with eating them?

Mu Ningxue tried it, and it was indeed quite good. After the first taste, there was naturally nothing to resist.

After shopping, enjoying delicious food, and having a few drinks, Mu Ningxue was slightly tipsy. Her usually cold eyes now held a touch of allure, and her fair, jade-like cheeks flushed an enticing red. Several times, Tang Miao inexplicably bit her lip.

Perhaps because she had a little to drink, or perhaps because it wasn't the first time she had been sexually assaulted, she wasn't very resistant.

Normally, the two of them could have returned to East Sea War City quickly. But Tang Miao seemed quite eager to take her for a walk. It took them an hour to get back to their residence.

The two of them were practically out early and back late, and Tang Miao clearly didn't care where the others went or whether they were there. After all, the soundproofing of the house here was really "nice~" Wangyue Qianxun had even helped test it.

When they arrived at Tang Miao's room, Mu Ningxue intended to lock Tang Miao outside. However, before she could push him out, he simply carried her inside.

"I... oh~"

Although Mu Ningxue had drunk a few cups, she wasn't so drunk that she wouldn't know anything.

Just as she was about to refuse, Tang Miao pressed his lips against hers, sealing hers with a kiss...

After a bit of mutual biting, their anger had indeed gone too far.

Tang Miao was already dissatisfied with this, but when he realized that Mu Ningxue had stopped struggling, he stopped...

There was no way around it; when he touched that exquisitely beautiful face, his hand felt slightly damp.

Tang Miao felt he could be shameless, but the girl was clearly not prepared... Under these circumstances, even if they got together in the future, it would leave some unpleasant memories.

Well, actually he didn't want it to be just this once, so he stopped when he sensed that something was wrong with her.

Mu Ningxue originally thought she was about to be finished, but suddenly she noticed that Tang Miao had stepped back. After opening her beautiful eyes, she saw Tang Miao standing to the side, just quietly watching her.

Startled, Mu Ningxue said, "You..."

But when she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say. She couldn't very well say, "Why did you stop?"

"I will wait until the day you are willing." As if knowing what Mu Ningxue was thinking, Tang Miao replied sincerely.

As he spoke, Tang Miao took out a crystal-clear object, as clear as a diamond, from his pocket. This was naturally the Star River Vein that he had stored away before.

He handed it to Mu Ningxue, saying, "Although this is quite inappropriate at this time, I prepared this Star River Vein for you a long time ago. It doesn't contain any other meaning; I simply wanted to help you."

Mu Ningxue was stunned, looking at the egg-sized object, which resembled a diamond but seemed even more crystal clear. It was adorned with countless dense points of light, and upon closer inspection, they resembled a beautiful and dazzling galaxy.

This is the Star River Vein that countless mages dream of. When a mage reaches a bottleneck in their cultivation and wants to break through their nebula barrier, they will definitely need this item, because it is an important resource to help mages transform nebulae into star rivers!

There is a vast chasm between nebulae and galaxies. It is extremely difficult for human mages to break through the barrier and cross the chasm with their own power. Only the Star River Vein can provide such immense energy that mages can not only perfectly absorb it, but also generate extremely strong energy pulses that impact the galaxy realm!

The Star River Vein is not 100% successful, but only mages with a solid foundation and who are truly stuck at the Intermediate Level peak have a chance to advance.

With Mu Ningxue's current strength, one Star River Vein is enough for her to advance. Moreover, the energy of this Star River Vein is quite abundant!

Although he didn't reach the advanced stage of the first system through the Star River Vein, that was merely a stroke of luck, aided by the immense power from Mu Ningxue's Ice Crystal Brake Bow and the assistance of the Qilin. However, in Tang Miao's view, it was virtually impossible for Mu Ningxue to break through on her own...

"When did you buy it?" Mu Ningxue asked, somewhat stunned, as she looked at the shimmering light in Tang Miao's hand.

Tang Miao replied, "We bought it as soon as we learned that the Mu Clan was abandoning your branch."

Although Tang Miao had just gone too far, it would be self-deception for Mu Ningxue to say she felt no emotion after hearing his words.

Such a large family, a huge clan bound by blood ties, could all be said to have ignored her because of the Star River Vein, yet this man could place it right in front of her... Mu Ningxue could never have imagined, much less imagined, that he had always understood what she needed most.

Mu Ningxue was silent for a moment, her eyes flickering, but she still refused, saying, "I've made my own plans... so..."

Tang Miao interrupted directly, "So what? I wasn't joking the other day. The day I saved you, you belonged to me. Don't say anything irrelevant, and you don't need to worry about whether I can surpass you. I know my own limitations very well!"

He'd already swallowed his heartache and gritted his teeth to lavish money on her; how could he possibly refuse?

Doesn't Tang have any pride? Besides, and most importantly, if this girl drags her feet any longer, Tang Miao feels he might change his mind!

It's still over a hundred million!

Even for Tang Yue, he had never spent such a large sum of money.

However, just for the sake of the cold beauty's stunning looks, Tang Miao felt it was worth it to be a devoted admirer just this once. Of course, he was definitely not going to end up with nothing; he wasn't that stupid... Once Mu Ningxue accepted him today, could she possibly run away?

Mu Ningxue originally wanted to refuse, but Tang Miao had already turned and left the house after leaving behind the Star River Vein.
