Shui Yue'er Takes the Initiative to Ask Him to Spend on Her

Huo Wu led the way, with the two academies' carriages following at a leisurely pace.

Some members of both academies had also gotten out of the carriages and were walking along, chatting and laughing as they looked at the scenery of Blazing Fire Academy on either side.

Feng Xiaotian sat in the carriage for a while before getting down to walk with several members of the Godwind Academy team.

Although he had the memories, they were like a video he knew extremely well. Interacting with real people was a different feeling altogether.

Feng Xiaotian also did his best to recreate his old habits, then gradually change them.

He wanted everyone to accept who he was now without noticing the change. Occasionally, he glanced at Huo Wu leading the way ahead, but there was nothing unusual about him.

Feng Xiaotian wasn't about to run over to Huo Wu and trail eagerly after her now.

Still less would he be a lowly simp. If he was going to be a wolf warrior, he would never humble himself. Even if he spent Simp Coins, it would be proper spending. At the very least, a man's dignity was there, and that was something he absolutely could not throw away.

As long as he had money, who knew who would be simping for whom!

Half an hour later, Huo Wu brought the two academies to their lodgings. Until she left, Feng Xiaotian hadn't said a single word to her.

That couldn't help making Shui Yue'er doubt the rumors Xue Wu had told her about Feng Xiaotian.

Didn't he like Huo Wu? Why wasn't he acting the way Xue Wu had described? Could he really have transferred his affections to her older sister?

With those questions in mind, Shui Yue'er gave Feng Xiaotian several more looks.

Xue Wu immediately said, "Yue'er, what are you looking at? Hurry up and get moving!"

Shui Yue'er said, "All right, then!"

The two academies were assigned to two neighboring courtyards. There were four courtyards in the row.

Perhaps they had been prepared specifically to receive the four academies.

Once everything was arranged, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang left one after the other, leaving only an ordinary student to attend to them.

That night, after dinner!

Feng Xiaotian was cultivating in his room when a sudden bout of knocking sounded.

"Captain, a young girl from Skywater Academy is looking for you."

Judging by the voice, the speaker was one of the female students on the team. It should be Feng Yu.

"Who's looking for me?" Feng Xiaotian asked, puzzled. This didn't seem right. Could it be that Shui Bing'er had learned the benefits of the Ice Soul Jade Crystal Necklace and come to thank him?

After thinking it over, Feng Xiaotian felt that Shui Bing'er was the most likely person.

He pushed open the door and heard Feng Yu say, "I don't know her name either. In any case, she's quite young, only about fourteen or fifteen."

"Where is she?" Feng Xiaotian asked.

Feng Yu smiled. "She's just outside the gate. The little girl seems too embarrassed to come in."

"Then I'll go myself," Feng Xiaotian said, and headed out of the courtyard.

Looking from a distance, he saw that it was empty outside the courtyard, with no one in sight.

Only when Feng Xiaotian stepped through the courtyard gate did he notice a young girl off to the side, her little face slightly flushed.

By rights, Feng Xiaotian shouldn't have known the name of the girl before him, but the system let him know it clearly.

The girl before him was none other than Shui Bing'er's younger sister, Shui Yue'er.

Shouldn't it be Shui Bing'er looking for me? Could she be too embarrassed!

Feng Xiaotian smiled. "Hello. What did you want to see me about?"

Shui Yue'er worked up a great deal of courage and said, "My name is Shui Yue'er. I'm Shui Bing'er's younger sister! Do you have any more of the kind of thing you gave... uh... sold my sister? I want one too. I can buy it, though I don't have as much money as my sister..."

Shui Yue'er was only fourteen now and looked utterly innocent.

Feng Xiaotian smiled. "So you're little sister Yue'er!"

Spending delivered right to my door. I'd be a fool to pass it up!

Isn't this handing me a free kill!

But what should I give her?

Feng Xiaotian pretended to think. After a while, he said, "Now that I think about it, I do have one. I bought it together with that necklace!"

Hearing him say that, Shui Yue'er was delighted. "Really? Could you give it to me too? No, wait, I'll buy it. I'll give you Gold Soul Coins!"

"I have one hundred and twenty-one Gold Soul Coins, five Silver Soul Coins, and seven Copper Soul Coins altogether. I've saved that money for two years. If it's not enough, I'll go ask my sister for some more."

Shui Yue'er even took out her water-blue purse and showed it to Feng Xiaotian.

A twenty percent increase in cultivation speed was an enormous help to a Soul Master's cultivation, and Shui Yue'er was very envious.

She had only meant to come and ask, never expecting Feng Xiaotian to actually have one.

But after receiving the system's prompt, Feng Xiaotian really couldn't take even a single Copper Soul Coin from the little girl before him for this item.

Feng Xiaotian said, "Wait a moment. Let me think where I put it."

"Um!" Shui Yue'er waited obediently.

After quite a while, Feng Xiaotian took out another box. It looked exactly like the one he had given Shui Bing'er earlier.

When Shui Yue'er saw the box, she smiled.

Shui Yue'er took the box. It was quite heavy. She copied Shui Bing'er and opened it; since she was paying Gold Soul Coins, she had to inspect the goods first.

The moment she opened it, Shui Yue'er's breathing grew rapid.

Wasn't this exactly the feeling her sister had described?

Snap... Shui Yue'er closed the box and said, "How many Gold Soul Coins do I need to give you for this?"

Feng Xiaotian said, "You don't need to pay. It's a gift."

"A gift for me?" Shui Yue'er was taken aback. "You don't want any money?"

Feng Xiaotian smiled. "I didn't want to charge your sister for the one I gave her either, but she didn't seem willing to accept that, so I took a little. Yours isn't really worth much. Back then, I bought the one I gave your sister, and as for this one, it was a buy-one-get-one-free deal. They threw it in, so I'll give it to you!"

"A free one from a buy-one-get-one deal?" Hearing Feng Xiaotian say it had come free with Shui Bing'er's necklace, Shui Yue felt even more relieved.

Feng Xiaotian nodded and deliberately said, "Yes. This thing isn't worth much. You can buy them all over the streets. It couldn't be worth a lot, could it?"

At that, Shui Yue'er's face turned even redder, and she stammered, "I... d-don't know either. I think it's very pretty, and I wanted one too!"

"Thank you! I'll be going now!" Shui Yue was a little embarrassed. She was clearly swindling Feng Xiaotian out of something valuable, yet she couldn't tell him. If she did, how could she possibly get it?

She was afraid that if she stayed and spoke with Feng Xiaotian a little longer, she'd give herself away!

As Shui Yue'er left, Feng Xiaotian turned back with a smug smile on his face.

Snapping up a bargain like this would definitely be protagonist treatment in a novel. I guess I'm giving the goddesses a taste of protagonist treatment too.

[Ding... congratulations to the host for successfully spending 1.9 million Simp Coins on a goddess. The host's commission of 190,000 Simp Coins has been credited.]

The 190,000 Simp Coins had been credited!

Just hearing the price told him it was no ordinary item. The necklace he had given Shui Yue'er was indeed extraordinary. Not only did it have the same twenty percent water-attribute cultivation boost as Shui Bing'er's, it also contained twenty cubic meters of space.

But those features weren't worth 1.9 million Simp Coins, because the necklace had another function.

Two Soul Skills were sealed inside it. One was Absolute Defense, which triggered in moments of danger and could withstand a full-force strike from a Titled Douluo below level 96.
