Xu Milu seriously doubted Mo Xuan's lineage.
A body weighing 200 pounds, 197 pounds of gluttony and laziness, and 3 pounds of greed and lust.
Ever since learning of her plans, Mo Xuan has been slumped over the restaurant table like a maggot, writhing and twisting without any restraint, complaining of aches and pains all over.
"Oh dear, I've lost all my cultivation, and the Dragon Pearl is with my wife. If I were to plant tomatoes in Kunlun, I'd probably lose my life on the way. Oh dear, my head hurts, my head hurts so much, my stomach hurts, and my butt hurts too..."
"Oh dear, it's truly not that this humble demon wishes to disobey my lady's command, but rather that while I have the heart to act on her behalf, I lack the strength to travel so far to Kunlun!"
If you don't discipline someone for three days, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles.
Xu Milu glanced at him sideways:
"Or should I have Chenxiang come and loosen up your muscles and bones? I seem to remember you saying a while ago that another dragon pearl had grown? Did I hear you wrong?"
"No need, no need. Xiaolong suddenly feels as light as a swallow. It must be thanks to my wife's skillful cooking. The food she makes is imbued with a divine aura. Just one sip can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded! There's no need to trouble Young Master Chenxiang!"
Mo Xuan quickly rolled over and transformed into a small black snake, trying to slip away. Just kidding, although Chen Xiang did not practice magic, his superhuman strength was real. If he were to squeeze him, all his bones would be shattered into hundreds of pieces!
The little black snake slithered away quickly, but Xu Milu's hand speed was even faster. She grabbed the snake in her hand and sneered:
"Still pretending? Who was it that tried to harass the elves at the Peach Blossom Banquet the other day? I saw it with my own eyes. You were drunk and flying around with sirens and dwarves. Why do you complain about aches and pains as soon as you hear you have to work?"
As she spoke, she shook the half-dead "black rubber band" in her hand, then comforted him with a "loving" gaze:
"Don't worry, you're fast on your feet. Even if you go west to Kunlun to plant the fruit and then come back, it will only take a month. Besides, you'll have two companions with you on the way, so they'll have someone to talk to."
"?!"
Mo Xuan's spirits lifted, and he held Xu Milu's ten fingers tightly with both hands, saying earnestly:
"Help? Are there any beauties? What are they like? How old are they? Are they betrothed? Could it be the mermaid beauty I saw at the Peach Blossom Banquet?"
Two slender figures immediately flashed into Xu Milu's mind before she affirmed, "Beauties! Definitely two beauties!"
The black snake instantly revived, patting its chest with its tiny paws and promising:
"It's just a trip west to Kunlun Mountain. Little Dragon can get there in the time it takes to somersault. My wife, you can rest assured to entrust this task to me. I guarantee that I will complete your task within a month!"
"Well... there's no need to rush."
Xu Milu's eyes darted around for a moment, then she said vaguely:
"With Eleventh Sister looking after Kunlun, finding an unclaimed piece of land to plant fruit is not difficult. You just need to bring the fruit back before the fifteenth of next month."
There are beautiful women, but they might be slightly different from what Mo Xuan imagined.
...
...
Pass through the Vermilion Bird Gate and head towards the Golden Light Gate. After crossing two main streets, you will reach the West Market of Chang'an.
Chang'an City is divided into East and West Markets. Logically speaking, Daming Palace, Qujiang Garden, and the Grand Canal wharf are all located in the East City, and there are many more people living in the East City than in the West City. However, in terms of market prosperity, the West Market of Chang'an is much more prosperous than the East Market.
"Come and see my silks! Ladies, come and take a look! The finest silks from the Western Regions, as well as fine jade from the Arab world and Persian gems—come and see them all!"
"Freshly baked flatbread, fragrant and crispy, fragrant and crispy!"
"Deer antler, fish tooth brocade, bezoar, marine animal skin (seal skin), mermaid oil (seal oil)! What a bargain, an absolute steal!"
"Nepalese dye! The silk it produces is as beautiful as the red clouds in the sky! Madam, come and take a look!"
Merchants, their clothes exuding the scent of exotic spices, hawked their wares in broken Mandarin. Vendors of various clothing and skin colors walked freely in the market, and the stalls on both sides of the road were piled high with goods from foreign countries.
Here, you can see merchants from the Central Asian countries hawking spices and silks everywhere, as well as scantily clad and alluring women from the Central Asian countries singing for money. The goods are dazzling and diverse, including copperware, pearls, poria cocos, and sulfur from Japan, ginseng and bezoar from Silla, as well as bok choy, vinegar, and scallions from Nepal. Even the short, dark-skinned Kunlun slaves, the skilled Sogdian dancers, and the fair-skinned Silla maids are all selling goods here.
Of course, the West Market is a mixed bag, and buyers need to judge the authenticity of the goods themselves. Whether you make a profit or a loss depends on your own skills. If you get fooled here, you can only accept your bad luck.
Chenxiang squatted in front of a stall specializing in products from the Arab world, staring at a golden bird inlaid with jewels:
It was a finely crafted golden bird, tiny, only the size of a thumb. Its head was carved with lifelike detail, its eyes were a pair of black gemstones, and its feathers were inlaid with tiny gemstone fragments, making it look delicate and adorable.
"Young master, this isn't expensive, it's only three hundred strings of cash."
The Arab merchant, wearing a white turban, smiled and gestured with his hands, then, looking at Chenxiang's satin robes, he made another gesture:
"If you really want it, I'll give you two hundred and fifty strings of cash!"
"You want it?"
Xu Milu was haggling with the vendor next to her, wanting to buy a ginseng root to stew with pigeon soup, when she saw Chen Xiang staring intently at the golden bird. Thinking that he wanted it, she pretended to take out her money.
"Need not."
Chenxiang shook his head, took out a small piece of gold from his waist, and said with pride, "I saved up a lot of silver some time ago, and I'll buy it myself."
