Chapter 332 - Hope of Everyone; The Tool's Tricks (7)
Cheng Xiao Xiao had a pretty good idea how much there were to begin with. Even though she had accounted for some extras intentionally, but after the unaffiliated had made their purchases, there wouldn’t be much left.
“They are going to spend the night anyway. They can go make their purchases at the warehouse before taking off tomorrow!”
Having said that, Cheng Xiao Xiao turned and left. She has no time to chitchat with these old men right now; what’s more important is to level up the dimension.
Naturally her ‘follower’ has no reasons to stay any longer after Cheng Xiao Xiao had left, he turned and followed behind her.
“What an interesting couple!” smiled Nun Saochen.
The rest also nodded. The grim-looking Zhu XIangyu forced a faint smile when he cupped his hands and bid them farewell before he returned to his guest quarters for some rest.
After he left, the old dean shook his head gently and said, “A love-struck kid, hopefully he’d recover from it soon!”
The other three old folks nodded as well. With their keen observation, they could all tell Zhu XIangyu’s intention, they merely pretend that they didn’t notice.
“Speaking of, Senior Ying, can you give us some clues into how you were able to break through from martial emperor into martial monarch?” asked Nun Saochen, letting her curiosity got the better side of her.
“I really can’t share!”
Old Man Ying frowned and said, “If Miss can help you, she’d let you know. Otherwise, I’m afraid there’s no much we could do, unless….”
He paused right there and have an odd look. As he was already at the martial monarch cultivation level, naturally he was aware of what’s a “spiritual contract”. He didn’t object to it greatly; he was merely aware of the fact that when he entered the dimension, he was spontaneously contracted to her.
He didn’t care about the reasoning behind that; as long as he could reach the martial monarch level, so what if he was contracted? If he presented with the choices, he would have chosen the contractual path without a doubt!
He trusted that these people in front of her would also choose to be contracted to her if they learned of it.
Naturally he did not plan on elaborating on that, not now anyway!
“Unless what?”
Old Man Ying’s pausing in mid-sentence made everybody prompt him right away!
“Do you really want to know?” Old Man Ying looked at them with the most teasing way possible. Looking at their expressions, he couldn’t help but laughed out loud and said to them, “Unless you all become like me – stay at the Cheng’s and become part of the Cheng’s. Otherwise, you may never been able to. HA HA HA HA HA!!”
The three of them paused simultaneously!
They couldn’t quite comprehend what Old Man Ying meant by that.
Stay at the Cheng’s?
Become part of the Cheng’s?
What was he trying to tell them?
Looking at the one happily chuckling away in front of them, they all went silent.
“Can you stop following me?”
Looking at the person that she wasn’t able to get rid of, Cheng Xiao Xiao started getting a headache, “What do you want?”
“Nothing! I just want to be with you!” smiled Mo Xuanzun happily, completely unaffected by her irritation.
“Even if you want to be with me, can you not follow me around like that? Go look for a place to stay!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao was so annoyed that she wasn’t even aware of the words coming out of her mouth. She just wanted to get rid of him so she could go back into the dimension.
“Okay! You promised! You will be with me!”
Mo Xuanzun smiled happily. Suddenly, with the most serious look, he focused his qi to his throat and announced loudly, “ Everybody listen now, Xiao Xiao just agreed to spend the rest of her life with me!” His clear, gentle, and languid voice resounded in the clouds and rang through the entire Willow Village.
