Chapter 46 Three Thousand Spirit Stones
Seeing that the two had run away, Zhou Xianzong turned his attention to Yingxi.
According to the plot, the two argued for quite some time before Zhou Xianzong finally won Yingxi over.
This person has been saved.
How should I bring it up?
To put it bluntly, I want to be your sugar daddy?
No, these are too crude and unsuitable for my status.
Just as he was thinking about how to win over Yingxi, the woman spoke first.
"Thank you for saving my life, young master. If you will not abandon me, I am willing to follow you."
Holy crap.
So proactive?
Zhou Xianzong was taken aback.
This is totally different from the storyline.
You are indeed someone I can win over, but we've been arguing for quite a while now.
You went straight for the trump card right from the start.
How am I supposed to answer that?
Zhou Xianzong was numb.
But they've already put it this way.
He couldn't very well refuse.
He readily agreed, taking advantage of the situation.
"Alright, from now on you'll stay by my side."
Zhou Xianzong said with a smile.
"Then we really are destined to meet."
"Yes, young master."
Yingxi nodded slightly.
Zhou Xianzong casually tossed her a token and said.
"Take it. From now on, you'll take care of my daily needs."
"Young master, what is this?"
Yingxi asked, holding the token.
Zhou Xianzong glanced at him.
What the hell is this? Don't you recognize it?
You didn't investigate my background thoroughly, you even know what color underwear I wear every day?
A hypocritical woman.
But he still patiently explained it to me.
"This is the Qingyang Sect's token. With this token, you can freely enter and leave the Qingyang Sect and my Elegant Garden."
"Oh? Young Master is from the Qingyang Sect? I've heard that the Qingyang Sect has countless geniuses, no wonder you are so powerful."
Yingxi pretended to be infatuated.
Although she had been researching things about the Zhou Dynasty and knew a lot about Emperor Xianzong of Zhou's character and what he had done.
But to be honest, this is only the second time we've had any contact.
They say seeing is believing.
From this, she could tell that this guy was definitely not as arrogant, ignorant, conceited, and frivolous as the rumors suggested.
On the contrary, he is meticulous despite his rough exterior, and acts with rigor.
Why would someone like that keep his assassin by his side?
Could it really be because of the plot he mentioned?
For a time, she was filled with curiosity about Zhou Xianzong.
"That's natural. Among the disciples of Qingyang Sect, no one can match me in a single blow."
Zhou Xianzong subtly showed off.
"Pfft..."
Yingxi couldn't help but smile and praised him generously.
"A peerless gentleman."
"You have a sweet tongue."
Zhou Xianzong glanced at her.
You know what, Yingxi is the type with a great figure, a beautiful bust and buttocks, and she's both attractive and pleasing to the eye.
Her smile is quite charming.
"Come with me to the Treasure Pavilion."
Zhou Xianzong said.
"Yes, young master."
Yingxi didn't ask any more questions and readily agreed.
Baibaolou is the largest goods store in Tianwu City, containing countless rare and precious materials.
However, the price is extremely high, and most people simply cannot afford it.
When Zhou Xianzong arrived with Yingxi, there were hardly any people in the hall.
Upon seeing Zhou Xianzong arrive, the shop assistant hurriedly ran over to greet him.
"It's Young Master Zhou! Please come in quickly."
"Any new arrivals lately? Preferably something girls would like, since they're pretty."
Zhou Xianzong glanced around and found that they were all rather ordinary things, with no treasures that could catch his eye.
It's not that he lacks anything.
The main reason is that the engagement banquet with the Luo family is in two days, and as Luo Le'er's number one admirer, he has to give her something as a token of his affection.
If it were an ordinary woman, giving her some cultivation manuals, elixirs, or magical artifacts would be enough.
But Luo Le'er is different; she is the daughter of the Qingyang Sect Master and doesn't lack these things at all.
What's missing is a sense of ritual.
Although Luo Le'er will not agree to his request, she still has to send the gift.
"What girls like? Pretty things?"
Yingxi was taken aback.
This... this guy isn't going to give it to me, is he?
But if he doesn't give it to me, who else would he give it to?
We just met today, and he brought me here; it must be a gift for me.
Is he pursuing me?
No way, no way.
So, should I agree or refuse?
Yingxi felt conflicted.
Because she had also read the diary, she knew that she would be walking a long road with Zhou Xianzong in the future.
"Young Master Zhou, you've come at just the right time. A batch of goods just arrived this morning, including a treasure that I'm sure you'll like."
The waiter smiled and then gestured for the waiter to enter.
"Please come with me to the second floor."
Let's go.
Zhou Xianzong nodded.
The second floor has far fewer items than the first floor, but they are all treasures of extremely high quality.
The waiter brought a box, placed it in front of Zhou Xianzong, and slowly opened it.
"Young Master Zhou, please take a look."
Inside was a luminous pearl, about the size of an egg, perfectly white and round, emitting a faint glow.
Next to the luminous pearl, there is a rather exquisite necklace made of small pearls.
Perhaps this thing doesn't feel like anything to men.
But for women, that's something as lethal as a missile.
No woman in the world can resist something so sparkly, exquisite, and beautiful.
Even Yingxi, who was standing to the side, was drooling.
This clearly shows that it is indeed quite tempting.
“Young Master Zhou, this is a luminous pearl taken from a meteorite from outer space, and this necklace also has a remarkable origin; it is composed of the inner cores of eighteen deep-sea monsters.”
The waiter introduced the product with some excitement.
"It's definitely a good product."
Zhou Xianzong nodded.
Whether it's a meteorite from outer space or the inner core of a deep-sea monster, they are all rare treasures.
He pointed to the necklace and said to Yingxi.
"Try it on, let me see if it looks good on you."
Hearing this, Yingxi was more than willing.
Sure enough, it was a gift for me.
Yingxi smiled somewhat foolishly and eagerly took it.
Zhou Xianzong looked at her and his eyes lit up. Both her temperament and her demeanor had improved significantly.
"Not bad, it looks pretty good."
Zhou Xianzong nodded in satisfaction.
"Waiter, please install it for me."
"Okay."
The waiter replied.
"Young Master Zhou, a total of three thousand spirit stones."
Zhou Xianzong then tossed him a spatial ring containing exactly three thousand coins.
Spirit stones are the currency of this world.
Even Yingxi was speechless upon hearing the price.
What does three thousand pieces mean?
This is equivalent to half a year's income for a major sect like Qingyang Sect.
This clearly demonstrates the profound cultural heritage of the Zhou Dynasty.
Zhou Xianzong spent three thousand spirit stones without even blinking.
Yingxi couldn't help but wonder what kind of person this guy was.
If he is truly as violent and cruel as rumored, then why has he been so meticulous and attentive during our time together?
"Young master, what is this gift from you...?"
After leaving the Baibaolou, Yingxi looked at Zhou Xianzong, but before she could finish speaking, Zhou Xianzong interrupted her.
"That's right, this gift is for Le'er. Our engagement banquet is in two days, and this is something I specially prepared for her. I'm sure she'll be so touched and happy that she'll accept my proposal."
