The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 704 Ming Xueling's Initiative
Five strings of cash? Why don't you go grab it! This price is enough to hire a guide in Ganzhou for half a month.

Do I look like one of those nouveau riche people who are stupid and have a lot of money?

Zhao Chen muttered a few words in his mind, then politely declined the "self-recommendation" of the long-legged girl in front of him. In the other party's slightly disappointed gaze, he and Yan Hongxia and others walked past her, completely away from the range of the "Wuguan" formation restriction, and came to a nearby commercial street.

Only then did the four of them finally breathe a sigh of relief and resume communication.

After all, according to the rules of Jiuzhou, even a Dongxuan cultivator is only allowed to extend his spiritual consciousness outwards up to three hundred feet. This position should be considered safe now.

What's more, the so-called Taoist Yuzhen in the level is most likely not Dongxuan.

However, to be cautious, they still did not talk about Ning Meng and her special physique.

Yan Hongxia, whose four-claw flying fish pattern on her collar was more three-dimensional, looked Zhao Chen up and down and suddenly smiled and said, "The jeweled crown from Jiyuezhai and the outer shirt from Ruibaoxiang, although the lining looks ordinary, the material is a piece of water cloud brocade worth thirty strings of cash...

"I hadn't noticed before, but the outfit Fairy Zheng prepared for you is really low-key and luxurious, all high-end goods, and the total cost is probably no less than three hundred strings of cash.

“No wonder I was targeted as soon as I entered the country.

"I have to say, the girls in the inner city have very sharp eyes."

Zhao Chen was also a little shocked when he heard this. He couldn't believe that his "ordinary" clothes would be more expensive than ordinary magic tools...

Although he had not worried about daily expenses since he got the Worry-Free Cave Heaven, he could not help but sigh when he recalled that his bedroom in the Sea Breeze Tower was filled with a whole closet full of such clothes:

The Zheng family is indeed a great merchant family, they are truly "generous" and inhumane...

Mo Qiu and Ning Meng also covered their mouths in surprise after hearing these words.

You have to know that three hundred strings of cash is almost half a year's income for the martial arts school run by Mo Qiu...and this is after he invested in the trade route leading to Dunhuang. If it were before, sometimes he could only earn enough to buy this set of clothes in a year.

Needless to say, Ning Meng, the little girl has never had more than ten strings of pocket money since she was a child.

Compared with the well-informed Zhao Chen and Yan Hongxia who had been to Central Plains, these two are the real "country bumpkins".

"So, I can live well inside the pass by selling clothes..." Zhao Chen said self-deprecatingly. After all, Zheng Qingyan had prepared more than ten sets of such clothes for him in his storage bag.

"Luxury items like these are only valuable before they are sold. Once they are bought, they can't be sold for much even if they have never been worn... You think they are collections from private museums and you can make some money by reselling them." Yan Hongxia curled her lips and made a casual "attack".

But the speaker had no intention, but the listener was moved.

Collections... you can make money by reselling them... maybe a true "collector" also needs to make sure his collections can continue to "appreciate" in value?
In other words, collectors make their "favorite" collections "appreciate in value", which should be one of the "playing" rules, so Sister Hongxia gave me such great "feedback" before.

Well, I have to verify it again later...

As his thoughts turned, Zhao Chen already had a goal in mind, and he was just waiting for the right scene to give it a try.

"Where should we go now?" Mo Qiu interrupted and asked. "Let's wait here for a while. Mingxue should come to pick us up." Zhao Chen replied casually, and then looked at the busy intersection not far away, and couldn't help but sigh again, "I didn't expect that the Central Plains has developed to this extent. In comparison, Yumen and even Zhangye are rural areas."

"In fact, the gap is not that big. There are not many places as prosperous as Wuguan City in Jiuzhou. Most areas cannot compare to Zhangye." Yan Hongxia had just retorted when she saw a white carriage pulled by two demon horses stopped in front of the four of them.

Although the driver sitting in the driver's seat was just a mechanical puppet, he still saluted them rather stiffly after the car stopped.

Then, the car door opened and Ming Xueling, dressed in a new outfit, walked out.

She was wearing a green brocade dress with a jade belt of the same color tied tightly around her waist, outlining her slender waist. The transparent gauze skirt below only reached her knees, revealing the white stockings on her calves.

The whole person is soft and gentle, yet heroic and capable.

It not only reflects Ming Xueling's fresh, unworldly and untainted image, but also highlights her natural and pure temperament.

Unexpectedly, after entering the Central Plains Kyushu only half a day in advance, Ming Xueling had already integrated into this place before everyone else and became "fashionable".

Zhao Chen's eyes subconsciously swept across the other person's calf, but he didn't stare at it.

But Ming Xueling, as a master of magical powers, had such sharp perception that he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

Yan Hongxia, who discovered this, muttered a few words, but her voice was too low for anyone to hear clearly...

"Hey, where did the carriage come from?" Zhao Chen coughed and asked as he got on the carriage.

"I rented it. The rent is 35 guan per day." Ming Xueling simply replied, and then added, "Since it is considered a magic weapon, I also paid a deposit of 400 guan."

The carriage doesn't look big, but it is equipped with a "space expansion spell" inside. Although it cannot be compared with the vampires' exquisite carriage, it has doubled the space, so five people sitting inside do not feel crowded at all.

After everyone was seated, the mechanical puppet, under the control of Ming Xueling's spiritual consciousness, controlled the demon horse and slowly started the carriage.

"As expected of the Central Plains, I haven't noticed anything else, but the prices are really high." Zhao Chen glanced at Mo Qiu and Ning Meng who were nodding their heads in agreement, then turned his head to look at Ming Xueling who was sitting on his right, "You should have paid for the hotel and train tickets, right?

"How much is the total? I'll reimburse you later."

Ming Xueling shook his head slightly after hearing this and said, "No need... Someone will pay for our expenses in the Central Plains, so there is no need to be too frugal."

"Someone is paying?" Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes, but he didn't notice that Ming Xueling had grabbed one of his hands and put it on her white silk. "Xiao Ling, who did you meet after entering Yuzhou?"

Ming Xueling nodded slightly and said, "I 'ran into' an old friend of my 'father's' past life. Although we haven't been in touch for many years, he was very 'enthusiastic'.

"After all, 'Father' has returned to the 'Dongxuan' level and has returned to the Holy Land. It is reasonable for him to rush over to 'fawn on' me.

"Besides, he also knows... knows about my 'relationship' with you. He is very curious about you and is trying to find out some things about you in his words..."
