Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 179 So much Xuan Gold! Moon Spirit Ring!

Nearly early morning.

Under the cover of night, the two arrived at the quiet, deserted path.

Both of them were still wearing masks.

A white tiger, a black cat.

Following the lake forward, the stone statue came into view.

Two lit lanterns still hang on the stone statue, swaying gently in the cold wind. Silent and unattended, they look somewhat eerie.

As the two approached, the hoarse voice came again from behind the stone statue.

"Welcome back, our valued guest..."

This time, Bai Ruofei did not take out the nameplate again. Instead, she reached out and took a lantern, handing it behind her.

Luo Qingfeng skillfully took it and walked ahead to light the way.

The two passed through the archway and arrived at an empty street, where all the shops on both sides were closed.

In front of a shop not far away, a lit red lantern hangs, gently tapping on the wooden door in the wind, as if guiding them.

Just like that night.

However, after observing for a moment, Luo Qingfeng realized that the red lanterns were not hanging in the same location as those from the previous night.

The two arrived in front of the shop where lanterns were hanging.

Bai Ruofei stepped forward and pushed open the wooden door.

"Squeak..."

The silence was broken by the sound of the door opening, and a lantern suddenly lit up the pitch-black room.

Then, that slender figure appeared.

She wore a floral dress, a pointed snake mask on her face, and scarlet lips, her voice still charming and alluring: "Lord White Tiger, your presence is an honor. Please forgive my lack of hospitality."

Then she giggled and said, "Master Cat has arrived too! What a rare guest!"

Then she sighed softly, "Last time I asked Lord Cat to come and play with me, Lord Black Cat didn't come. I waited for so long."

Her words were alluring, her red lips exhaled a fragrant breath, and she seemed to be breathing slightly heavily as she spoke.

Those eyes were even more charming and captivating.

Luo Qingfeng didn't dare to look too much, carrying the lantern and keeping his eyes straight ahead.

Bai Ruofei's expression was indifferent, her face expressionless.

The woman with the flower-like snake-like body sighed softly again before pushing open the back door.

The lights came on, and a cacophony of noise filled the air.

A market appeared behind, with lanterns hanging in front of the shops and stalls on both sides of the street. The vendors were shouting their wares, and there seemed to be quite a few shoppers.

At some stalls, customers were arguing with the vendors.

There were even sounds of children crying.

This mysterious place, though appearing somewhat abruptly and strangely, is also filled with a sense of everyday life.

"Please take your time choosing, gentlemen. If you need anything, please feel free to come and find me."

The flower snake escorted the two out the back door, said something sweetly, and then gave Luo Qingfeng a charming look. Swaying her slender waist and pert buttocks, she giggled and said, "If you, my little cat lord, find it boring to stroll around, you can come and play with me. I'll be waiting for you."

Luo Qingfeng ignored her, put down the lantern, and left with a serious expression.

Bai Ruofei, who was standing to the side, glanced at him and asked, "Do you get bored?"

Luo Qingfeng immediately replied, "Of course not."

He then said, "It is an honor for me to go shopping with you, senior. I will not be bored even if we shop for a long time."

Bai Ruofei ignored him and continued walking forward.

Luo Qingfeng quickly and obediently followed behind.

Many vendors called out to the two along the way, but they were ignored.

Bai Ruofei led him directly to a general store, where a signboard with several large, gilded characters read: Fengyi General Store.

There was only one old man with a goatee in the shop, calculating accounts with an abacus.

Hearing a guest enter, the old man looked up, about to speak, when he suddenly paused, his gaze fixed on Bai Ruofei.

Bai Ruofei asked in a calm tone, "Collecting demon corpses?"

The old man paused for a moment, then nodded quickly, his face beaming with smiles: "Yes, of course I'll take it."

Bai Ruofei stood aside without saying anything more.

Seeing that the shop space was not enough, Luo Qingfeng was about to speak when the old man quickly said, "Please come to the backyard, guest."

As he spoke, he went over and lifted the curtain, his face full of respect.

Bai Ruofei walked in front.

Luo Qingfeng quickly followed.

The old man lowered the curtain and immediately went to lead the way.

The three of them went to the back courtyard.

The yard was large, with walls on both sides and a row of houses at the back, which looked like a warehouse for storing goods.

The old man then asked with a beaming smile, "What kind of monster would you like to buy, sir?"

Luo Qingfeng walked to the middle of the courtyard and first took out the corpse of the demon wolf from his storage bag.

The carcass of a black-furred giant wolf, nearly two meters tall, was found on the ground in the courtyard. Although it was dead, it still exuded a fierce and menacing aura.

The old man gasped in surprise, saying, "This is a Flaming Black Wolf. I've heard that it only grows in the Dark Forest to the north."

As he spoke, he quickly walked over, squatted down next to the black wolf's carcass, and carefully examined its fur, muscles, limbs, and so on.

After a moment, he took out a piece of black jade and pressed it against the belly of the black wolf's corpse to examine it. Then he frowned slightly and sighed, "Unfortunately, it's a low-level demonic wolf; it hasn't even formed a demonic core yet..."

Luo Qingfeng quickly asked, "How much is this demonic wolf worth?"

The old man did not answer immediately. He examined the woman carefully for a while before slowly getting up. Just as he was about to speak, he glanced at the woman beside him, hesitated for a moment, and then held up two fingers, saying, "Twenty Xuan Gold, no more than that."

He quickly explained, "Because it's a low-level old wolf, although it looks imposing, its muscles and skin are actually quite loose, and its fur isn't very useful. This price is already the limit I can offer. If you two guests feel it's not worth it, you can go and ask at other shops first."

"Twenty Xuan Gold?"

Luo Qingfeng was secretly delighted when he heard the price.

To be honest, he had never seen so much wealth since he started cultivating, let alone Xuanjin.

However, he remained expressionless and asked, "Boss, could you add a little more?"

The old man looked troubled. "Young master, I really can't add any more. You can go to other shops and ask. If there are any shops that offer a higher price than mine, I can add double the amount of Xuan gold."

Seeing that he had gone this far, Luo Qingfeng knew that the price of this demonic wolf had truly reached its limit. Just as he was about to agree, Bai Ruofei suddenly spoke up, "No more Xuanjin can be added, but one more ingot of gold can be added."

Upon hearing this, the old man was taken aback. He glanced at her again, and without any hesitation, nodded quickly and said, "Alright, I can add another ingot of gold."

Luo Qingfeng was overjoyed and quickly said, "Then thank you very much, boss."

A gold ingot—something he used to dream of!

He turned to look at the proud woman beside him, and inexplicably muttered to himself: With such a virtuous wife, what more could a husband ask for?

Then he immediately realized that this woman could read minds!

He quickly thought to himself, "Yes, Senior Bai is truly amazing. It's so nice to have such a noble and beautiful Senior Bai by my side."

Bai Ruofei looked at him indifferently.

Luo Qingfeng didn't dare to do anything reckless, so he withdrew his gaze and looked at the old man in front of him.

The old man took out his money bag, counted out twenty pieces of black gold, and placed them one by one on the stone table beside him, saying with a beaming smile, "Young master, please count them."

Luo Qingfeng counted them carefully, then eagerly put them away and slipped them into his storage bag.

The old man smiled and picked up the wolf carcass from the ground.

Luo Qingfeng added, "There are two more monster corpses, one a python and the other a crocodile. Boss, do you want to collect them together?"

The old man's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "There are more? I'll take them! Of course I'll take them!"

He then added, "I am in dire need of a demonic python. Young master, could you take it out and let me have a look?"

Luo Qingfeng took a few steps back, and with a thought, took out the remaining two demon corpses from his storage bag.

The enormous carcasses of pythons and crocodiles almost filled the entire courtyard.

A foul, fishy odor immediately filled the air.

The old man was startled upon seeing the two demonic creatures: "A golden python! A two-headed venomous crocodile! Good stuff, all good stuff!"

As he spoke, he quickly stepped forward to examine the area closely.

Then, he took out the black jade stone and placed it against the python's belly and the crocodile's abdomen to examine them carefully.

After a long while, he stood up, his face beaming with smiles, and said, "Indeed, they are all good things. The scales from this golden python alone are in high demand, and its meat is also a rare delicacy."

At this point, his gaze fell once again on the two demonic creatures. After thinking carefully for a while, he said, "In this way, I am willing to offer eighty Xuan Gold for this golden python. As for this two-headed venomous crocodile, I am willing to offer fifty Xuan Gold."

Luo Qingfeng suppressed his excitement and asked, "Since the boss said these are both good items, why is the price so low? It's too low compared to my expectations."

The old man gave a wry smile and said, "Young master, the price I'm offering is definitely not low. These two demonic creatures are indeed quite good, but they are both low-level demonic creatures. The golden python is rare, which is why it's priced at eighty gold; the two-headed venomous crocodile's hide is nice, but its meat is hard to eat. However, because it has already condensed a demonic core, it's priced at fifty gold. Of course, if you're willing to sell the demonic core along with it, the price can naturally double."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng thought to himself: This old man is indeed amazing; he was even able to detect the demonic core inside this two-headed venomous crocodile.

The total of one hundred and thirty Xuan gold was far beyond his expectations.

He had never seen so much wealth before.

Those are all Xuanjin (a type of precious metal)!

However, he did not show any excitement or enthusiasm, nor did he immediately express his opinion. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Senior Bai beside him with a questioning gaze.

Bai Ruofei replied expressionlessly, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you need my permission to sell things?"

Luo Qingfeng quickly leaned closer to her and whispered, "This junior doesn't know the exact price, but senior should know, right?"

Bai Ruofei said calmly, "I don't know."

Helpless, Luo Qingfeng could only whisper again, "Do you need to raise the price? Or, should we try asking at other shops first?"

Bai Ruofei did not answer.

At this moment, the old man smiled broadly and said, "Young master, you can put these two demons away first, and then go to other shops and stalls to ask. If the price is indeed higher than here, you can sell them elsewhere. Of course, you can also come back and tell me, and I will add more money."

Luo Qingfeng looked at him, paused, and made a decision: "Since the boss says so, let's sell it to him. Consider it making friends."

He then quickly added, "Um... could you add two more pieces of gold?"

Upon hearing this, the old man was both amused and exasperated, but he didn't say anything more. He nodded generously and said, "Okay, add two more pieces of gold."

"make a deal!"

Luo Qingfeng was very excited.

He earned 150 pieces of Xuanjin and 3 pieces of gold in one night, transforming from a penniless nobody into a wealthy man with a huge fortune—it was like a dream.

The old man carefully examined the monster again before taking out his money bag and stacking the money pieces one by one on the stone table.

Luo Qingfeng also walked closer and counted them one by one.

One hundred and thirty pieces of black gold were quickly piled up and placed on the stone table, their dark surface gleaming with golden light, making them look exceptionally impressive.

Luo Qingfeng's pupils had almost turned into a dark gold color.

The old man smiled and said, "Young master, you can count it again. There are a total of one hundred and thirty pieces of Xuanjin and two pieces of gold."

Luo Qingfeng quickly replied, "No need, I've already counted them."

Then he suddenly looked at the small money pouch in the old man's hand and asked curiously, "Is this money pouch of yours, boss, also a storage treasure?"

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, the space inside is very large. It can easily hold tens of thousands of pieces of Xuan Gold, just like a storage bag."

Luo Qingfeng quickly asked, "How much money do you need?"

The old man weighed the money bag in his hand and said, "Thirty-five Xuan gold coins. If you need them, young master, I have some in my shop and can sell them to you at a discount."

Luo Qingfeng said, "So expensive?"

The storage bag back then only contained a few pieces of Xuan Gold.

The old man chuckled, "This money bag is made of special materials. Of course, we also have cheaper ones in the shop. You can go take a look at the front, young master."

Luo Qingfeng thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you have a storage ring or a storage bracelet?"

The old man quickly collected the demonic creature from the ground and invited with a beaming smile, "Young master, you can take a look first. We have storage rings, storage bracelets, and storage beads in our shop. We also have some storage jade pendants, hairpins, and other items."

Luo Qingfeng also quickly put away the Xuanjin on the stone table.

The old man glanced at Bai Ruofei again, then smiled and led the way.

The two followed behind and entered the shop.

The old man took out a silver ring and explained, "This is a storage ring made of moon spirit stone. It has a large interior space, divided into three parts: a herb garden for planting and gathering herbs, a place for raising spirit creatures, and a place for storing various items. Young master, you can view it simply by inputting star power."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng quickly took it.

He then channeled his star power into the storage ring, and his gaze immediately fell upon it.

The space inside was indeed very large, dozens of times larger than his storage bag. There was a fertile medicinal garden, a paradise with blue skies, white clouds, green mountains and clear waters, and rows of houses for storing things.

It's like another world inside!

After looking at it for a while longer, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze and asked somewhat nervously, "How much does this storage ring cost?"

He knew, of course, that the storage ring must be extremely expensive.

The money he has on him is probably not enough.

The old man chuckled, "Not much, just three hundred Xuan gold coins."

Luo Qingfeng: "..."

He knew it was expensive, but he didn't expect it to be this expensive. But thinking about it, it was normal. After all, the space inside was like another small world. You could grow medicine, raise spirits, and store things. So the price was reasonable.

"Are there any cheaper options?"

He reluctantly returned the storage ring in his hand.

The old man took the storage ring and smiled, "Of course I have some, but the cheaper ones can't be used to grow spiritual herbs or raise spiritual creatures. This storage ring is the most cost-effective one I have, and it's also the cheapest storage treasure that imitates another dimension."

As he spoke, he took out a white jade ring and a white jade thumb ring, introducing them as follows: "These two are cheaper, only one hundred and fifty Xuan gold, inside..."

Before he could introduce them, Luo Qingfeng quickly added, "Do you have any in the tens of yuan range?"

The old man paused for a moment, then said apologetically, "The storage rings and bracelets that you want, young master, are all over a hundred. The cheaper ones are storage bags or small money pouches."

Luo Qingfeng sighed and could only say, "Never mind then, I'll just ask first."

It seems he'll have to wait until he's earned enough money to buy this good stuff.

Fortunately, since monsters are so valuable, and his sword and data are specifically designed to kill monsters, he felt he should be able to make a lot of money.

Just as they were about to take their leave, Bai Ruofei suddenly spoke up, "Bring me that Moon Spirit Ring."

The old man was taken aback, and quickly handed over the silver ring.

Bai Ruofei took it, glanced at it a few times, and then handed it directly to Luo Qingfeng, saying, "Put it on."

Luo Qingfeng quickly said, "Senior, this is too expensive, I...I can't afford it..."

Bai Ruofei said calmly, "Giving him a hundred pieces of Xuanjin is enough."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng was immediately taken aback.

The old man's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "No, no, this is unacceptable! A hundred yuan is murder..."

Then, with a mournful face, he said, "The minimum is three hundred yuan. Even if it's one yuan short, I'll have to make up the difference myself..."

Bai Ruofei looked at him and said, "Then you can make it yourself."

The old man hurriedly pleaded, "No, no, I'm just a shopkeeper, penniless..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Ruofei's tone turned cold: "The amount you've embezzled over the years is far more than three hundred yuan."

Upon hearing this, the old man was speechless.

Bai Ruofei ignored him and directly stuffed the ring in her hand into Luo Qingfeng's hand, saying, "Give him one hundred pieces of Xuan Gold."

Luo Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then quickly counted out one hundred pieces of Xuan Gold from his storage bag and piled them on the counter.

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Ruofei had already turned and walked out of the shop.

The old man had a mournful face, but dared not utter another word.

Luo Qingfeng looked at him somewhat embarrassed and said, "Boss, then... I'll be going?"

He was still a little uneasy. Would this be considered a forced purchase?

The old man suddenly sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Go on, go on. Alas, this old man is going to lose so much that he won't even have underwear left."

Luo Qingfeng didn't dare to say anything more and immediately put away his storage ring and left.

After leaving the shop, he looked back and suddenly noticed two characters in the lower right corner of the signboard. Upon closer inspection, he realized they read: "Bai Family".

Just then, a familiar shout rang out from ahead: "Stockings! Nude stockings! Undergarments! Lingerie! Specially made panties! We have everything, all made of the finest materials, all personally designed by the master designer, Fairy Chenyu! Come and take a look, come and touch them! If you don't like them, you don't have to pay; if you don't feel comfortable touching them, you don't have to pay either..."

Luo Qingfeng turned his head and saw that it was indeed the woman wearing the shark mask.

At that moment, his senior, Bai, was standing at the intersection, his gaze also fixed on the stalls there.
