Beast Taming·Chapter 35: Movenpick
When we arrived at the free market in Konghai, we saw that it was crowded with people, and the sounds of hawking, bidding and bargaining filled our ears, it was very noisy.
But the atmosphere in the market is very good. Who would like their store to be deserted?
After finding the stall of Huajian Sect, Shi Yan was very satisfied with it. This stall was close to the main road, with a good location and a large area, about the size of three stalls. Although it was not as good as the commercial area, it was considered a relatively large stall in the free market.
Looking around here, almost all the stalls are street vendors. It is quite rare to see a small and exquisite shop like this one.
Shi Yan said to Xiao Xun with satisfaction: "Xiao Xun, this will be our store from now on, what do you think?"
Xiaoxun was very excited. This was his first time here. In the past, he stayed in the village or looked at Qianshui City from outside. In his eyes, Qianshui City was so prosperous, but when he came to Konghai today, he suddenly felt that Konghai was a thousand times more prosperous than Qianshui City. He couldn't imagine that he could enter such a prosperous place and set up a village shop here.
This was something he had never thought of before, no, it should be said that it was something he dared not even think about!
He nodded excitedly, "Yeah!"
"Okay, then let's go here." Shi Yan clapped his hands. From now on, this will be his territory!
Everyone cleaned the place. Although the stall had been empty for a long time, a thick layer of dust had accumulated over time. Shi Yan used two dust-repelling talismans to completely remove the dust. Then he used a water-purifying talisman to clean the stall inside and out.
It’s said that everyone is busy together, but it’s almost always Shi Yan who is doing it, with Xiao Xun lending a hand, but what about Ye Yier and Xiao Baoer?
They pouted and opened their big watery eyes. "Look at us, do we look like people who can work?"
Looking at Xiaoxun's enthusiasm, Shi Yanzhi had to sigh, children from poor families have to grow up early!
After working for more than half an hour, running around, I finally finished it.
Looking at the brand new stall, Shi Yan was extremely satisfied. It really looked good.
Now that you are in Kūkai, why not go shopping?
Although we came to Konghai to do serious work, the business hasn't opened yet. Besides, there are Ye Yier and Xiao Baoer here. Do you think we can still work?
Shi Yan brought everyone to the commercial area, where there were some large shops or shopping malls. Most of the people here were stationed by sects. It was not like the free market, which was full of small stalls set up by individual monks. The grades of these two places were completely different.
They walked all the way and didn't buy anything. It's not that they don't have money. Now, Shi Yan is considered to have some capital, with more than ten second-grade spirit stones on him. Ye Yier was not interested because the things sold here were all magic weapons and flying swords, nothing that girls would like.
Besides, she was currently playing with the wooden spirit doll that Shiyan had given her when she came to Konghai last time.
"Who carved this wooden doll? It's so ugly." Xiao Baoer took a glance and said.
"Hehe!" Ye Yier glanced at Shi Yan, "You think it's ugly too, right?"
Shi Yan's forehead veins were throbbing, and he really wanted to pull that nosy master out and give him a good beating. It's ok for you to carve my face, but at least carve out my handsome face!
Ignoring them, Shi Yan went into a store by himself. This was a place that sold low-level practical beasts. Shi Yan's other purpose for coming to Konghai this time was the Overtone Conch!
The Overtone Snail is a shell-like beast known as a spirit beast. It can receive sound waves and can be used without a spirit contract, so it is very popular among cultivators below the foundation building stage. Shi Yan wanted to buy one a long time ago. He had his eyes on a type of Overtone Snail that cost 56 first-grade spirit stones. He saved up spirit stones for a long time and finally saved up enough spirit stones. Unfortunately, after arriving at Konghai, he was told that the Overtone Snail was no longer for sale, and now the cheapest Overtone Snail required two second-grade spirit stones. Shi Yan had to return disappointed. He could have bought one last time, but in order for Ye Yier to regain her smile, he bought a wooden spirit doll for her, so he didn't buy it again.
This time, I will definitely be able to buy it!
Now that Shi Yan had more than ten second-grade spirit stones in his pocket, he naturally could not focus only on the lowest-grade harmonic snails as he did before. He picked a white harmonic snail, five inches in size, with small corals growing on it. It was a medium-grade coral snail.
This coral snail cost Shi Yan eight second-grade spirit stones.
The price is four times higher, but the thing looks the same, just with corals clinging to the shell.
"Don't underestimate this coral. It's the companion coral of the coral snail. It can receive signals more effectively. It can receive signals even in remote and desolate areas far away from human habitation." The owner was beaming with joy and spoke eloquently, calling the coral "dear" affectionately.
I finally bought the conch, which fulfilled a wish in my heart.
This place is not far from the Ziyuan Pavilion of the Huajian Sect. Shi Yan suggested that they just take a detour to the Ziyuan Pavilion to see the man that Ye Yier rescued that day. It was still early anyway, and everyone had no objection.
To be honest, Shi Yan had completely forgotten about him and had no impression of him at all. If he had not passed by here, Shi Yan might have forgotten about him forever.
It’s not that Shi Yan has a bad memory. In Shi Yan’s words, “What’s there to remember about a grown man?”
He entered Ziyuan Pavilion and found a cultivator, who happened to be the same cultivator who came to entertain him last time.
"Senior Brother." Xiu Tong greeted respectfully.
"Where was the injured man last time?"
"Brother, are you talking about Mo Chou?" asked the little cultivator.
"Maybe. Take me to see it first." Shi Yan didn't know his name, and he didn't even see what the man looked like.
Xiu Tong responded and took Shi Yan and others to the backyard.
When I arrived at a small courtyard, I saw a man sitting blankly on a chair.
"Brother, it's him."
Xiao Xiutong pointed at the man and said.
The man had a handsome face and looked about the same age. He just sat quietly on the chair, staring into the distance with unfocused eyes.
Shi Yan looked at Ye Yier, "Is it him?"
Ye Yier nodded, with little stars in her eyes, "It was him. He was covered in blood and filth at the time, and his appearance was unclear. It turns out he is so handsome!"
"Handsome? I think he's just average, not as handsome as me!" Shi Yan complained in his heart.
"Mo Chou, Senior Brother Shi Yan who saved you at that time is here to see you." Xiu Tong flattered Shi Yan a little and walked into the yard.
The man named Mo Chou just looked at Shi Yan indifferently without saying anything.
Xiu Tong explained: "He has been like this since he was cured. He ignores everyone and doesn't respond when asked."
Shi Yan nodded, rewarded him with a piece of spirit stone, and asked him to leave.
"Thank you, senior brother!" Xiu Tong happily took the spirit stone and retreated.
Shi Yan walked over and sat down beside him. Although his expression was still cold, his eyes always followed Shi Yan's movement and never left.
"Hello, I'm Shi Yan, what's your name?"
Shi Yan shuddered all over. This person probably didn’t have any special hobbies.
He looked at Shi Yan silently, as if he could see through him, and after a while he spoke: "Mo Chou."
"Mo Chou?" Shi Yan nodded and asked with concern: "Brother Mo, how do you feel now? Are you feeling better?"
He nodded, but his face was calm and expressionless.
The same thing was that his gaze was still on Shi Yan and did not leave.
After a long while, he said, "Thank you."
Shi Yan smiled faintly and pointed at Ye Yier, "It wasn't me who saved you, it was her. You should thank her if you want to thank someone."
He turned his head and looked at Ye Yier, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. I just can't stand that gossipy woman."
Ye Yier quickly waved her hands and smiled, "I saw her bullying an injured person, and I couldn't help but want to teach her a lesson."
If Ni Hong knew that someone called her like that, she would probably rush back to commit the crime even if she was far away in another region.
After chatting with him for a while, he just said "yes" lightly or remained silent.
"Since there is no problem, we will leave first. You can stay here for a while. It won't be too late to leave after you have fully recovered."
Shi Yan stood up and prepared to leave.
Who would have thought that Mo Chou would also stand up.
Looking at Shi Yan, he said, "I'll follow you."
"Follow me?" Shi Yan was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously: "Why are you following me?"
"Repay." He was still very frugal with his words and uttered two words lightly.
"Repay a favor?" Shi Yan smiled bitterly. "No need. I saved you not to ask for your repayment. I don't need your repayment. Just stay here and heal your wounds."
He shook his head and said nothing, but still followed Shi Yan.
Shi Yan communicated with him for a long time, but he was still stubborn and wanted to follow.
Shi Yan shook his head helplessly, "Okay, then just follow me. But you can leave anytime you want."
Seeing that he didn't respond, I didn't know if he heard it or not.
Talking to this guy is so fucking hard!
Forget it, if he wants to follow me, then let him follow me. I don’t have anything valuable anyway. Thinking this way, I felt relieved.
Little did he know that his decision saved his life.
