What a lucky world!

Chapter 113 Zhuge Nanxian: I’ll give you a benefit!

When Zhang Mu returned to the inn, he found no trace of Zhuge Nanxian.

Yesterday, the girl asked him for a hundred taels of silver, saying that since they were going the same way, they couldn't ride on the same horse, so she needed to buy another horse and pack some luggage for the journey. Now Zhang Mu was only short of luck money, not silver, so he readily lent her the money.

When Zhang Mu entered the room, he saw Xuan Ji still lying cross-legged on the windowsill, falling asleep listening to the sound of raindrops outside.

Zhang Mu walked up to her and stroked Xuan Ji. Xuan Ji sensed Zhang Mu, so she stretched, climbed into Zhang Mu's arms, found a comfortable position, and continued to sleep.

Zhang Mu was also quite calm. Ever since Xuan Ji reached the Moon-Eating Realm, she had become increasingly lazy. Back in Wan'an County, she'd insisted on catching mice every day to improve her cultivation. But now, in Wuzhai, thanks to her alchemy skills, she'd been treated like a lucky cat by the elders, and was incredibly pampered. With the blessing of Luck Money, she no longer had to work so hard catching mice to earn a small amount of merit.

According to Xuan Ji's own logic, she used to make elixirs to sell them for money, sell them for money to buy food, buy food to raise mice, and raise mice because she wanted to catch them.

Now, the problem has been solved at the source.

We have entered the era of lying down.

"Look how fat you are..." Zhang Mu pointed at Xuan Ji's belly.

Xuan Ji opened her eyes and rolled her eyes at Zhang Mu: "Cats just need to be fat..."

"Skinny cats are meows without servants!"

But speaking of this, Xuan Ji seemed to think of something. She suddenly sat up straight in Zhang Mu's arms and looked up at him: "Zhang Mu, do you like fat or thin?"

Zhang Mu's eyes narrowed.

In the previous life, this was a matter of death.

So a balanced response came to my mind: "It doesn't matter if you are fat or thin, as long as you are healthy."

Xuan Ji snorted, turned over again, and rubbed against Zhang Mu's arms again. Feeling that the position was just right, she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

Touching Xuan Ji's head, Zhang Mu smiled, took out a small purse from his sleeve, and poured out the luck money in the purse.

There are five in total.

This was the reward given by the Divine Weapon Pavilion after he returned the spearhead. Now, with the three coins condensed by the Fortune Hall, Zhang Mu now had eight one-coin coins.

I haven’t been this rich since I accepted Lu Xuanxiu’s gift last time!
It’s okay to splurge.

Zhang Mu was about to enter the Soul Sea space when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Mu patted Xuan Ji, and Xuan Ji impatiently jumped from Zhang Mu to the windowsill again. Zhang Mu then stood up, walked to the door and opened it.

"Sir!" the waiter said, standing at the door. "Just now, an idler came with a message saying that Mr. Zhuge, who was traveling with you, wants you to go to the South City Market immediately. He'll be waiting for you at the Xiaoyao Teahouse in the market."

After saying that, the waiter added, "The person who came said that the guest must leave quickly."

Zhang Mu's face changed slightly, thinking that could it be that the incident of the Sun-Exchange Gang yesterday had happened?
Zhang Mu took out a few coins and gave them to the waiter. The waiter took the money and left with many thanks. Zhang Mu's face became serious and he said to Xuan Ji, "Xuan Ji, let's go and take a look."

Xuan Ji yawned, meowed, and turned into a ball of black smoke, which attached directly to Zhang Mu's lapel, turning into a pattern of a black cat.

……

Zhang Mu left the inn, mounted the horse brought by the waiter, and galloped towards the south market.

It was raining outside, and the raindrops hit Zhang Mu. Zhang Mu didn't bother to put on a raincoat, but instead circulated his internal energy to block the rain from falling on his body.

It took Zhang Mu about a cup of tea to reach the market in the south of the city. The raindrops grew heavier, and the whole of Yongning City seemed to be shrouded in a mist.

Zhang Mu found the Xiaoyao Teahouse that the waiter mentioned. Because it was raining, everyone was holding an umbrella, and Zhang Mu couldn't find any trace of Zhuge Nanxian for a while.

At this moment, a sweet voice suddenly came to Zhang Mu's ears.

"Brother Wei!"

Zhang Mu looked in the direction of the sound, his eyes passed through the figures that were constantly moving back and forth, and he saw a woman standing at the entrance of the alley with an umbrella.

The woman had long hair draped over her shoulders, and was wearing a green shirt. She wore no makeup, and she looked like a quietly blooming orchid in this bustling city.

She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with skin as white as snow and a beautiful face. She was so misty that Zhang Mu felt dizzy for a moment.

Zhang Mu rubbed his eyes and looked at the woman again. When he raised his head, she was already standing in front of him. She looked up at Zhang Mu slightly and said, "Brother Wei, don't you recognize me?"

Zhang Mu naturally reacted quickly to such a dramatic situation: "Are you Zhuge Nanxian?"

"Yes!" Zhuge Nanxian smiled brightly, "Does it look good?"

Zhang Mu took a step back and looked Zhuge Nanxian up and down again, then nodded: "Well, it looks good."

Seeing Zhang Mu's reaction, Zhuge Nanxian frowned slightly. He had thought that if he revealed his true face, Zhang Mu would be stunned for a few moments. He didn't expect that the other party would accept it so casually. He felt a little disappointed for a moment.

"Could it be that the Central Plains is blessed with talented people and beautiful scenery, and my appearance is only average here?"

Zhuge Nanxian muttered to himself, feeling somewhat unconvinced. He pouting and asked, "Why aren't you surprised at all?"

"A pretty girl like you, traveling alone, naturally has to disguise herself. Now that you're traveling with me, it's normal for you to restore your original appearance, isn't it?" Zhang Mu said with a smile.

Hearing Zhang Mu say this, Zhuge Nanxian was delighted at first, but then he thought about it and said, "You are only one or two years older than me, why are you calling me a little girl..."

"Pretend to be mature!"

Zhang Mu listened to Zhuge Nanxian's words and shook his head. "Why did you call me here so urgently? Did something happen?"

Originally, Zhang Mu thought that the incident of the Sun-Changing Gang had happened, but looking at Zhuge Nanxian's appearance, it shouldn't be the case.

Zhuge Nanxian looked at Zhang Mu, her beautiful eyes shifting as she said, "I just changed my clothes and returned to my original appearance. I wanted you to come and see..."

Zhang Mu raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Okay, it's still raining, let's go back first."

"Ah?" Seeing Zhang Mu turning around to leave, Zhuge Nanxian quickly reached out and grabbed Zhang Mu's sleeve, "Are you angry?"

"Angry? No." Zhang Mu shook his head.

A little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, in her previous life, would be a senior high school student. Zhang Mu would not get angry over such a small matter.

Hearing Zhang Mu's words, Zhuge Nanxian loosened his grip on Zhang Mu's sleeve and chuckled, "I'm not so bored as to ask you to brave the rain to see my true self. But if you're angry, I won't say anything."

"But since you're not angry, I'll give you a favor."

Zhang Mu was startled. He felt that Zhuge Nanxian had become a little more clever and eccentric after changing back into women's clothing. He smiled and asked, "What's the benefit?"
