Chapter 180 A Secret Gift for Senior White

Not enough to spend, not nearly enough at all.

After buying the storage ring, the remaining fifty pieces of Xuan Gold were quickly spent, leaving only five pieces.

Although it hurts a little, I have no choice but to spend the money.

Besides buying several expensive gifts for Senior Bai, he also bought a few for Sister Nightingale and A-Ya, but he spent most of the money on himself.

A set of golden silk soft armor, and two bottles of corpse-dissolving potion.

The golden silk soft armor alone cost him more than twenty pieces of Xuan gold, and he bought it back from Fengyi General Store. Obviously, because of Senior Bai, the old man gave him a big discount.

It is said that wearing this set of golden silk soft armor can increase one's defense, making it difficult for ordinary magical artifacts to harm one.

The competition for new disciples is about to begin.

His explosive power is not a concern, but his defense relies solely on his own body. He doesn't possess any defensive treasures, so this set of golden silk soft armor is a must-buy.

Even a slight increase in defense is very useful in competitions.

As for the corpse-dissolving water, he decided to collect more of it.

After using it last time, the effect was excellent. Just one drop was enough to destroy the evidence. It was definitely worth the money.

The little flower was placed on Senior White, Sister Nightingale, and A-Ya.

These are all necessary expenses.

He got a storage ring worth over three hundred Xuan gold for only one hundred Xuan gold, and the golden silk soft armor was also much cheaper. This was all thanks to Senior Bai.

Even without these things, given Senior Bai's kindness to him, it's only natural to spend some money on Senior Bai.

I said I would never be a kept man again, but before I knew it, I was being kept by a kept man again.

But this gigolo... it's really delicious.

With this storage ring, he will never have to worry about insufficient space, mixing living and dead things, or getting the place where he stores clothes and other miscellaneous items dirty again.

Tonight's harvest was plentiful.

However, those gifts I bought for Senior White...

She shouldn't be angry, right?

Wooden hairpin, bodice, undergarment, stockings, silk stockings, anklet...

He didn't ask to buy it; the female stall owner wearing the shark mask insisted on giving it to him, secretly telling him, "Lord White Tiger always buys these when she comes, but she's too shy to buy them today with you here. If you buy them for her secretly, she'll definitely be very happy..."

It's the same thing as last time.

Luo Qingfeng thought she was talking nonsense, but Senior Bai stood not far away and did not stop her.

So he bought it.

As for the gifts bought for Nightingale and Aya, they were also these things.

However, these things do feel really nice to the touch, and they should be very comfortable to wear, since the materials used to make them are incomparable to ordinary materials.

It was worth it, I suppose.

After shopping, it's time to head back.

The two walked towards the back door of the shop they had entered through earlier, without saying a word.

The vendors on both sides of the street were still enthusiastically hawking their wares.

As the two approached the back door, before they could even knock, the alluring woman wearing a snake mask opened it and said with a coquettish smile, "Are you two honored guests leaving so soon? Did you find anything you liked? If not, I have some more upstairs; you're welcome to take a look."

Bai Ruofei didn't say anything and went straight inside.

Luo Qingfeng had no choice but to reply, "I bought it."

The woman with the flowery snake-like face giggled, "Young Master Cat, would you like to go upstairs and take a look? There are many things that I've treasured for a long time up there."

As Luo Qingfeng passed by her, she immediately moved closer to him, whispering sweetly in his ear, "And they're all authentic, young master. If you're interested, the price is negotiable. I could even give them to you for free."

Luo Qingfeng was startled by her hot breath and her voice, and his legs went weak. He almost couldn't walk anymore. Startled, he hurriedly quickened his pace to catch up with Senior Bai, and even reached out to tug at her sleeve.

"Giggle giggle giggle..."

Seeing him flee in a panic, his face flushed red, the snake-woman burst into laughter, her body shaking with mirth.

Luo Qingfeng grabbed Senior Bai's sleeve and hurriedly walked out of the shop.

Once outside on the street, the cold wind immediately brought me back to my senses, and I suddenly felt a lingering sense of unease.

That woman also knows the art of seduction!

He was secretly surprised.

Bai Ruofei glanced at him indifferently and said, "Her innate divine power is [Charm], so it will be more powerful. However, it is only effective against lecherous people."

Luo Qingfeng pretended not to hear.

At this time, it's best to say as little as possible.

The two left the street and walked along the tranquil lakeside.

Moonlight spilled down, and the lake shimmered, reflecting the tranquil beauty of a winter night.

Luo Qingfeng inhaled the alluring fragrance of the woman, then turned his head to steal a glance at the aloof and silent beauty beside him.

A cool lake breeze blew gently, constantly tossing her jet-black hair and snow-white skirt. Her cool and beautiful face and slender, graceful figure exuded a unique charm that was both mysterious and alluring.

The seductive arts that the snake-woman just used were only superficial, forcibly making people lose their minds and arousing their physical impulses. Once they came to their senses, they felt disgust.

The woman before you, even if she stands there motionless, without speaking or making any eye contact, can still make people involuntarily fall into her charm and allure, becoming intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

It's a natural charm that makes people willingly and effortlessly captivated, far surpassing any deliberate, contrived magic.

Fortunately, he had already experienced this many times before and had developed some immunity.

Furthermore, he already had a solution.

I do not look, I do not listen, I do not speak, I do not approach; I hold my breath and concentrate, my mind wandering to the heavens.

Of course, not now.

It was a rare quiet night, and it was rare to have only the two of them. He wasn't afraid of making a fool of himself; he could just enjoy the view.

He felt not only respect for this woman, but also gratitude and fear, and these emotions were well-controlled in his rational mind.

"What did you secretly buy just now?"

At this moment, the aloof beauty beside him suddenly spoke up and asked.

Luo Qingfeng withdrew his gaze and said frankly, "Didn't you say before that you wanted me to buy you three gifts? Although you didn't mention it again after we went inside, I still remembered it, so I took the liberty of buying you some things."

Bai Ruofei continued walking along the lakeside, saying in a light tone, "The main problem is that what I want is a bit expensive, and you obviously can't afford it."

Luo Qingfeng asked curiously, "What is it that you want, senior?"

Bai Ruofei did not answer.

Luo Qingfeng looked at her beautiful profile and said, "I may not be able to afford it now, but after the new disciple competition, once I receive the reward, I should be able to afford it. Senior, you can tell me first."

Bai Ruofei turned her head, looking at him with a cold gaze: "You're that confident?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "This junior aims for the top three, so the reward should be quite substantial."

Bai Ruofei stared at him for a while longer, then looked away and continued walking forward, saying calmly, "No need, I'll be leaving soon."

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then said, "Senior, you can leave a little later."

Bai Ruofei looked at the scattered moonlight in the lake, broken by the wind and waves, and said after a moment of confusion, "There is nothing here that I would miss, so why should I leave later?"

Luo Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, then brazenly said, "At least, the time you spent with me, senior, must have been quite pleasant, right?"

Bai Ruofei turned to look at him again: "It's unpleasant."

Luo Qingfeng asked, "What went wrong?"

Bai Ruofei ignored him and continued walking forward.

The two left the lake and entered the dark streets.

Luo Qingfeng didn't know what to say. After a moment of silence, he shamelessly said, "Actually... this junior is quite reluctant to part with you, senior."

Bai Ruofei said calmly, "You're enjoying being a kept woman so much, of course you can't bear to part with it."

Luo Qingfeng: "..."

The two returned to the North Courtyard and entered the library.

Grandma Ning was dozing inside when she saw the two of them return. She immediately stood up and asked, "What did you buy tonight?"

Bai Ruofei went straight upstairs.

Luo Qingfeng took out a silver hairpin and respectfully handed it over: "Mother-in-law, this is a gift from your junior. Please don't find it offensive."

Grandma Ning paused for a moment, then reached out and took it, looking at him and saying, "Do you need something from me? Or have you done something wrong?"

His expression immediately changed: "Could it be... that you have taken liberties with my young lady?"

Luo Qingfeng was speechless and immediately followed her upstairs. On the stairs, he said, "It was just a gift I bought on a whim because I saw how hard my mother-in-law works guarding the gate. I didn't mean anything by it."

After saying that, he quickly went upstairs.

Granny Ning stared at the silver hairpin in her hand from downstairs for a long time.

Luo Qingfeng followed him directly up to the eighth floor.

However, he did not follow them into the room. Instead, he went to the table in the hall, carefully placed the gifts he had bought that night on it, and then went downstairs.

He decided to go back to his room and rest for two hours.

I need to continue my practice tomorrow.

Bai Ruofei changed into a dress and came out of the room, her gaze falling on the table in the hall.

She paused for a moment, then walked over.

The table was covered with a variety of items, all of which were very private items belonging to women.

A bodice, undergarments, trousers, stockings, silk stockings, embroidered shoes, an exquisitely carved wooden hairpin, and...

She narrowed her eyes and reached out to pick up the last item from the table.

A silver crystal anklet...

"Oh……"

Outside the window, the night is deep and quiet.

After returning to his room on the second floor, Luo Qingfeng first took out the newly bought storage ring, dripped blood to bind it to his owner, and then put all the items from his storage bag into it.

As for the storage bags, they were also put in there, so they can hold some slightly dirty odds and ends later.

After happily admiring the three spaces in the storage ring for a while, he finally put it away.

Looking out the window, it's getting late.

He went to bed and fell asleep quickly. After all, he was quite tired from sparring with Sister Nightingale on difficult techniques in the alley for a long time.

After falling asleep, in a hazy state, it seemed as if someone had entered the room.

He tried to open his eyes, but he was too tired to do so and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Moonlight streamed in through the window.

A figure stood silently in front of the bed, quietly watching him.
