Gal Douluo: Love Becomes God

Old Jack felt uneasy.

Just then, a series of orderly footsteps suddenly came from inside the city gate.

Two rows of guards in bright armor rushed out and lined up on both sides, separating the surrounding pedestrians.

Old Jack was startled, thinking that an important person was about to travel.

"Grandpa!!!"

Two energetic shouts rang out.

Old Jack's muddled old eyes blurred, and he saw two figures rushing towards him.

Tang San was running in the lead.

Following behind was Tang Tian, ​​who always wore a confident smile.

"Mistress! Xiao Tian!"

Old Jack was extremely excited:

"You...how did you get out here? Didn't you miss class?"

"Forget about missing classes, picking up Grandpa is the important thing!"

Tang Tian helped old Jack up.

I patted the dust off his clothes.

Immediately afterwards, the magnificent and luxurious...

"Oh my! This must be Chief Jack from Holy Soul Village!"

Lord Xiao was incredibly enthusiastic and stepped forward in a few steps.

He gripped old Jack's calloused hands tightly and shook them vigorously.

"I've heard so much about you! I've heard so much about you! You're truly a hero who nurtured two geniuses!"

Old Jack was taken aback by this sudden enthusiasm and stammered:

"You...who are you?"

Lord Xiao said with a smile:

"I am the lord of Nottingham City."

"The...City Lord?!"

Old Jack's legs went weak with fright, and he instinctively wanted to perform a deep bow.

But Lord Xiao quickly grabbed him.

Lord Xiao smiled and said:

"You are a distinguished guest of Nottingham, and I should be the one thanking you."

The surrounding civilians were dumbfounded.

How could an old man from the countryside be treated with such courtesy by the city lord?

And at this time, old Jack...

Looking at the two tall and straight children beside me.

Especially seeing Tang Tian's composed demeanor in dealing with important figures, tears welled up in her turbid eyes.

"They've made something of themselves...these kids have really made something of themselves..."

The city lord didn't say much, but smiled slightly:

"Village Chief Jack, let's go inside and talk. I've prepared the finest feast to welcome you back!"

……

at the banquet.

Tang Tian, ​​along with Tang San and Xiao Wu, indulged in a feast, leaving nothing but chaos.

After the commendation meeting concluded.

Old Jack received the medal and a heavy bag of gold soul coins as a reward.

It felt like I was dreaming.

He originally wanted to leave the money to Tang Tian and Tang San, but Tang Tian sternly refused.

"Grandpa, we have money. It's a rare opportunity to come to the city today, let's go shopping!"

Tang Tian brought along Old Jack and Tang San.

And then there's Xiao Wu, who insisted on coming along as soon as she heard we were going shopping.

Head straight to the market in Nottingham.

Besides buying practical things for his grandfather, Tang Tian also had his own little scheme.

He touched his chin.

His gaze swept across the stalls in the market, and he thought to himself:

"Little Hammer has become increasingly picky about food lately."

"I wonder if we could find a bargain in a place like this and get some rare metals to feed her..."

Chapter 51 Old Jack's Warmth, The Shady Merchant's Stall: Real and Fake Antiques!

A clothing store.

"Oh no, no, no!"

Old Jack looked at the thick, dark blue cotton robe in Tang Tian's hand.

"This is way too expensive!"

"Why would people from our village wear such fine fabrics?"

"It'll get scratched up even when I'm working in the fields!"

"What a waste, such a waste!"

The cotton robe was exquisitely made, and filled with the finest silk and cotton.

The collar is lined with soft wool, which looks warm just by looking at it.

The price tag reads: one Gold Soul Coin.

Old Jack exclaimed in surprise, "That's expensive!"

Tang Tian simply draped the cotton robe over Old Jack's shoulders.

“Grandpa, you are now a well-known figure in Nottingham City. You will have to deal with the people from the City Lord’s Mansion in the future.”

"Besides, your old leg pain used to flare up every winter, keeping you up all night. It pained me and Xiao San to see you like that."

“This robe is thick; you must wear it.”

"If you don't want it, then you're rejecting us."

"Yes, Grandpa Jack!"

Tang San also stepped forward at the opportune moment, carrying a pile of tonics in his arms:

“This ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum powder are both excellent medicines for replenishing qi and blood. My brother specially selected them.”

"You need to take good care of yourself."

Old Jack touched his new clothes, his eyes gradually reddening.

"Okay...okay...Grandpa will wear it, Grandpa will eat it."

"You two children, I really don't know what to say..."

Xiao Wu watched quietly from the side, blinking her big eyes.

Suddenly, I felt a pang of sadness in my heart, yet also a warm feeling.

This simple and pure emotional bond made her feel both curious and inexplicably envious.

"Grandpa Jack looks really smart in this!"

Xiao Wu hopped over and said sweetly:

"His back straightened up, like an old gentleman from the city!"

Old Jack laughed:

"You sweet-talking girl! Alright, Grandpa's in for a treat!"

……

They opened a clothing store.

Tang Tian bought a whole bag of things for Old Jack, so he could take them back to the village and share them with the villagers.

Then they went to the secondhand market in the west of the city.

This place is commonly known as the "Ghost Market".

A mixed bag.

There are no spacious, bright shops here, only a long street.

Both sides were lined with all kinds of stalls.

The stalls sell all sorts of things.

There are family heirlooms of calligraphy and paintings that impoverished nobles use to pay off debts.

There are unknown beast bones brought back from the Soul Beast Forest.

But most of them are broken copper and scrap iron that are hard to distinguish from genuine ones.

[Within the Sea of ​​Spirit]

[Little Blue (Curious Baby): Wow, so many things I've never seen before! Although they don't have much energy, they're all sparkly...]

[Little Hammer (with a look of disdain): Tch, they're all just scrap metal, not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth.]

"Wow! What's that glowing thing?"

Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise as she pointed to a bead emitting a faint glow at a stall.

Tang San glanced at it with his Demon Eyes and said in a low voice:

"That's fluorescent stone. It looks nice, but it's not worth much. It's just a slightly rarer type of stone."

The group walked and stopped intermittently.

Old Jack clutched the money bag tightly to his chest with both hands.

His old eyes scanned his surroundings warily, afraid of being deceived by the people here.

Tang Tian originally just wanted to take a casual look.

Let's see if I can use my knowledge as a transmigrator and my intermediate metal identification skills to find a bargain.

After wandering around for a while, I realized that finding a bargain wasn't so easy after all.

He couldn't help but feel that it was perfectly normal.

After all, good stuff wouldn't end up in a place like this.

Just as he was about to give up, a sudden change occurred.

During intermediate metal identification, it suddenly jumped.

[Within the Sea of ​​Spirit]

The previously lazy little iron hammer seemed to have been subjected to some intense stimulation, and suddenly sprang up!

[Little Hammer (drooling): Hungry! Hungry! Hungry!!!]

[To the left! Thirty meters to the left! That stall! It has delicious food! Super delicious food!]

[You idiot Tang Tian! I want to eat that! Buy it for me now! Or I'll throw a tantrum! I'll roll around in your head!]

Little Blue, standing nearby, was startled by Little Iron Hammer's frantic behavior.
