"Okay, let's go together. We can go shopping later. We've been in Mufeng City for so long, but we haven't had a proper chance to explore it yet."
Lu Tao chuckled and nodded, agreeing.
He Yuanshuang's face immediately lit up with joy.
"Brother Tao, I want to go too! I want to go shopping and buy some sesame cakes."
Speaking of which, Wu Ming is only nine years old and is still a lively and active child. For the past ten days or so, he has been staying in the courtyard, either cultivating or gaining experience points. He hasn't left Tianyun Inn at all, which is really hard on him.
"What are you doing causing trouble? Get back to your cultivation."
Before Lu Tao could speak, Zhou Yulan hurriedly pulled Wu Ming aside, worried that Wu Ming would disturb Lu Tao and He Yuanshuang's shopping trip.
"It's okay, let's go together."
Lu Tao smiled and said, "You can also go out for a walk, buy some things, such as some furniture, and also buy some clothes for these little ones."
"Yes, Sect Master."
When Lu Tao said that, Xia Qing and Zhou Yulan readily agreed.
They actually wanted to go shopping too.
What woman doesn't love beauty? Even after getting married, she still wants to buy cosmetics and pretty clothes. Even a monk is not immune to this.
As they spoke, everyone walked out of the courtyard.
He Zongming, He Wenjing, and Wu Tianyou were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
No, don't men need to go shopping?
"I'll go and help watch over the children so they don't get lost."
He Wenjing left a sentence and hurriedly chased after him, and Wu Tianyou also said, "I'll go too," and followed.
In the blink of an eye, only He Zongming remained in the entire courtyard.
In the end, the old man took on all the burdens.
"It's alright, elders should shoulder more responsibility."
He Zongming could only console himself and went back to his room to concentrate on drafting clan rules.
As for the town mayor, his grandson came, so he naturally went shopping with him. After all, he wasn't a member of the Immortal Sect, and he would be returning to Dafeng Town soon. He wanted to spend more time with Xu Le before he went back.
——
"Wow, Mufeng City is so lively!"
It was just dawn, and the streets were already full of pedestrians.
Wu Ming was filled with curiosity about everything. He had never left Dafeng Town before. Coming from a small town of two or three thousand people to a metropolis with hundreds of thousands of people, Wu Ming felt as if he had entered a new world.
Wu Ming skipped and hopped ahead, while He Yuanshuang walked in the middle, arm in arm with Lu Tao, and Chen An acted as a follower.
The group wasn't in a hurry, strolling around, stopping and buying things here and there.
"I wish I could go shopping with Brother Lu by myself."
He Yuanshuang actually wanted to buy clothes, but she felt a little embarrassed because Chen An was with her.
So the group of people neither went into the clothing store nor the jewelry store, but simply strolled along the street.
Lu Tao was starting to regret it. He wished he hadn't let Chen An come along. Wouldn't it have been better to just go shopping with the girl himself?
only.
He hadn't thought that much about it at first; he just thought that Chen An, being a member of the family, would know more about the houses and prices in the city, so he asked him to go buy a house.
As a result, Chen An is now the third wheel.
"Let's go take a look at the house first."
Lu Tao decided to look at houses first, and directly used his Heavenly Eye to see where there were mansions listed for sale.
Soon, Lu Tao found a mansion that suited his taste perfectly in terms of both location and layout.
It's not far from the east gate of Mufeng City, less than three miles away, making it very convenient to enter and leave Mufeng City.
It covers an area of about 200,000 square meters and has a lot of rooms.
Each member of the Immortal Sect still has a room left over.
"This mansion is nice, let's choose this one."
After inspecting the mansion, everyone was very satisfied.
Next, when it came to negotiating the price, Lu Tao handed it over to Chen An to handle.
As the sect leader, he doesn't need to do everything himself.
He took He Yuanshuang shopping.
Wu Ming also wanted to go, but Chen An pulled him back and lured him to stay with a sesame seed cake.
——
When there were only the two of them, He Yuanshuang felt much more relaxed, pulling Lu Tao in and out of various shops.
"Brother Lu, do you think this long dress looks good on you?"
He Yuanshuang was wearing a light white dress and stood in front of Lu Tao with her arms outstretched. She seemed to be too excited, as her face was slightly flushed, making her look very cute.
Lu Tao laughed and said, "You turn around and let me see."
As He Yuanshuang turned around gently, her long black hair fluttered, and a faint fragrance wafted into Lu Tao's nose. Lu Tao smiled and said, "So beautiful."
He Yuanshuang was very happy.
"I'll try some others."
He Yuanshuang happily went to try on other clothes.
Every time he tried on a piece, he would ask, "Does Brother Lu look good?" and finally he would ask directly, "Does Brother Lu like it?"
Although He Yuanshuang is not old, she has already grown into a graceful young woman, with a height of over 1.65 meters. She is a typical clothes hanger and can match any outfit.
Naturally beautiful.
In particular, she has a sweet and innocent appearance, with a rosy face, and occasionally she shows a hint of shyness, which makes her very cute.
After relieving himself of the pressure, Lu Tao finally relaxed completely. When he looked at He Yuanshuang carefully, he realized that this girl was really beautiful.
Especially when He Yuanshuang kept changing into different long dresses, what Lu Tao saw was always that well-behaved and flawless little face, always looking at him expectantly, hoping to receive his praise.
At this moment, He Yuanshuang's image kept flashing through his mind and into his heart.
I couldn't help but be tempted.
"Brother Lu, what about this one? Do you like it?"
He Yuanshuang changed into a pink dress, like a rosebud about to bloom, smiling at Lu Tao as she slowly twirled and blossomed.
"like."
Lu Tao praised, "It's mainly because Yuan Shuang is beautiful. Beautiful people look good in anything."
"What you said is absolutely right, young master. Good-looking people look good in anything."
The shop owner smiled and praised, "Miss Yuan Shuang's appearance is like that of a goddess descended to earth. She and the young master are a perfect match."
Although the proprietress often said such nice things in order to earn more money, at this moment, she genuinely thought He Yuanshuang was beautiful.
She had seen quite a few beautiful women come to buy clothes, but she had almost never seen a woman like He Yuanshuang, who had a great figure, a beautiful face, and a very likable personality.
These words made He Yuanshuang's heart pound, and her pretty face blushed.
When she noticed that Lu Tao didn't seem unhappy at all, she was secretly delighted.
"purchase!"
Everyone loves to hear nice words, and Lu Tao was no exception. He was very pleased and said with a smile, "Buy them all. Buy everything you like."
"Hehe, okay, Brother Lu."
He Yuanshuang was overjoyed and bought all the clothes she had tried on, including many beautiful long dresses that she hadn't had a chance to try on yet.
Anyway, it's not expensive, and they're not short of money.
Besides, she'll be wearing it for Lu Tao in the future, so she won't skimp on these expenses.
In fact, she had never been willing to waste even the potions she used for cultivation.
"Please take care, young master; please take care, young lady."
Leaving the clothing shop, Lu Tao took He Yuanshuang's hand and asked, "Yuanshuang, how old are you?"
Lu Tao felt that He Yuanshuang should be only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he had asked her exactly how old she was before, but He Zongming interrupted him. Now even He Zongming and He Wenjing and his wife were trying to match them up.
Lu Tao liked He Yuanshuang's looks and figure, but she was a little young.
Holding Lu Tao's hand, He Yuanshuang also gripped Lu Tao tightly and said with a smile, "You'll be fifteen in a few days."
"Oh, my birthday is coming soon."
Lu Tao was a little surprised. Fifteen years old? Well, that's not too young.
In the martial arts world, women are generally considered ready to marry at the age of fourteen.
If this were in China, Lu Tao wouldn't have any extra thoughts, and he himself isn't that old, but this is the martial arts world, and the two of them are quite a good age match.
The two of them browsed clothing stores, jewelry stores, and even went to some street stalls to find bargains, having a great time.
However, as he strolled around, Lu Tao noticed something amiss.
Members of various sects, dressed in uniform attire, continued to enter Mufeng City.
Everyone's face was very gloomy, giving people a depressed feeling.
Even the elders and sect leaders at the Innate Realm are no exception.
A heavy, oppressive atmosphere gradually permeated Mufeng City...
