The once glorious Luohai Sect gradually fell into decline.
Su Yuewan, as the Sect Master, vowed to restore its former glory. Yet, an unsuitable voice suddenly rang out:
"Restore its...
"Um?"
Su Yuewan suddenly stopped, almost causing Bai Hao, who was following behind, to crash into her. Fortunately, he managed to brake in time.
"What's wrong?"
"That one's pretty, let's go buy one." Su Yuewan pointed to a jewelry stall, which sold hairpins, hair ornaments, and other jewelry decorated with lots of beads. They looked ridiculously expensive.
But Su Yuewan was interested, and seemed quite interested at that. She quickly squeezed in front of the stall and examined the jewelry piece by piece.
The stall owner was a beautiful woman. As soon as she saw a customer arrive, she greeted her warmly, "Miss, all the hairpins here are of the highest quality. Both the materials and the craftsmanship are top-notch. Take a look."
"What do you think of this?" Su Yuewan picked up a peach blossom jade hairpin and began to try it on her hair, asking Bai Hao for his opinion.
"Hmm...it looks pretty good." Bai Hao gave a very "serious" answer.
"What about this?"
"nice."
"this……"
"nice."
No matter which one Su Yuewan asked, Bai Hao only had two words: "Beautiful!"
Because he knew that if he dared to say it looked bad, he might get beaten up.
“You think they all look good, but there are so many, and I can’t wear all of them.” After asking around, Su Yuewan already had nearly ten hairpins in her hand, all of which Bai Hao said were good-looking.
At this point, the proprietress would speak up: "This is nothing. Young lady, you are so beautiful, you definitely need a fine hairpin to match you, don't you think, young master?"
“That makes sense, let’s take them both.” Before Bai Hao could speak, Su Yuewan made the decision herself.
"You...you want them all?!"
Bai Hao almost choked to death on his own saliva!
This hairpin isn't cheap; he just saw someone buy one for ten gold coins!
A full ten gold coins.
If Su Yuewan were to take all the hairpins in her hand, that would be at least a hundred gold coins!
But then, a single glance from Su Yuewan dispelled all his thoughts of persuasion. "Is there a problem?"
"No...no problem."
"Then pay up."
"Oh..." Bai Hao looked miserable and started taking out his empty money pouch.
The proprietress beamed and said, "Seeing how much you've bought, young lady, I'll give you a discount. Just one gold coin will do."
"One hundred gold coins..."
Bai Hao's hands trembled as he counted the money, one coin at a time. He had exactly one hundred gold coins left in his money bag...
Seeing this, the proprietress took his entire money bag and said with a smile, "Take care, you two."
"I said, could you save one for me...?"
Bai Hao wanted to salvage his last shred of dignity, but Su Yuewan simply grabbed him and dragged him away.
"Let's go, next one."
"Still shopping? But let me make this clear beforehand, I have absolutely no money left, not a single penny," Bai Hao said, sounding aggrieved but stubborn.
"It's just a little money," Su Yuewan said with a hint of disdain. "It's shameful for a grown man to care about such a small amount of money!"
[Damn! You can talk so casually about money that isn't yours. That's all money I've painstakingly saved up, penny by penny, for my future wife. I was planning to use it to get married.]
Now look what's happened, you've spent it all, and you still say I'm a disgrace?
【You can have my wife instead!】
Bai Hao felt wronged.
"Alright, I'll pay you back when we get back, okay?" Su Yuewan said irritably.
"Yes, I said it."
"That's more like it." Bai Hao's mood suddenly improved.
If it's reimbursable, that makes a completely different story.
"So, can we continue shopping together now?"
"I can go shopping, but it's true that I'm out of money... How about I go ask the elders for some now?" Bai Hao suggested.
He knew that many disciples of the Falling Sea Sect were here enjoying the evening party, and the First Elder and Second Elder were also there.
If all else fails, just ask the Grand Elder for some money; his wife must have a lot of money on her!
"Forget it, let's not bother her. It's okay if she doesn't have money. It's not like you have to be rich to go shopping. Watching the fun is fine too," Su Yuewan said, pursing her thin lips.
She didn't want to trouble the Grand Elder at this time.
Even if you don't have money, there are still ways to go on a shopping spree. If she remembers correctly, there will be free fireworks to watch later.
"It looks like something's going on up ahead, let's go check it out." Su Yuewan led the way and saw a large group of people ahead, seemingly watching a performance.
"Let's go then." Bai Hao followed.
This is a theatrical troupe performing a show, which includes acts such as fire breathing, monkey walking, spear thrusting to the throat, and large stones smashing the chest.
This is only entertaining for ordinary people; for cultivators, it's nothing special, just a drop in the ocean.
If Bai Hao were to go up there now, he could do the same.
To Bai Hao's surprise, Su Yuewan watched with great interest and even cheered from time to time.
Bai Hao never expected that the dignified sect leader would be interested in this kind of program.
Fortunately, watching the show is free, so let her watch it if she wants...
The performance lasted for nearly half an hour. Only when the performers took a break did Su Yuewan reluctantly turn her gaze away and exclaim, "These people are truly amazing. They are just ordinary people, yet they have accomplished what only cultivators can do."
She could tell, of course, that those people weren't cultivators, and that was precisely why she was so interested.
“They make a living this way, so of course they have some skills of their own,” Bai Hao said.
"It's a pity I don't have any money on me, otherwise I would have given them a tip. Now, let's hurry up and leave." Su Yuewan suddenly pulled Bai Hao away.
Because it was right next door, the troupe members were carrying a basin and collecting money one by one...
This time, Su Yuewan didn't rush into the bustling online shopping areas. Instead, she took Bai Hao to a place outside Bailu Town where there were almost no people.
"What are you doing here?"
Bai Hao looked around, but it was pitch black and there was nothing there.
Could it be that she's going to... me here?
Su Yuewan suddenly slapped him on the head.
What is this guy thinking about all day long?!
"Why did you hit me?"
Bai Hao was completely bewildered when he was suddenly slapped.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt like hitting you," Su Yuewan said casually.
Bai Hao: “…”
Just then, a loud "bang" suddenly came from Bailu Town, followed by a dazzling firework that lit up the night sky, illuminating the entire town.
Fireworks burst forth.
