17 Finding a New House.

After Mo Xie came back home together with Shang Ting.

He immediately fell asleep, although they are both married couple, but Mo Xie still has his principle, so long as Shang Ting doesn't want anything to happen, he would comply.

What's more, he only needed Shang Ting's background before, to collect the herbs and find an alchemist expert of at least in the 3rd tier, better if there is a bronze ranked alchemist grandmaster.

It is exactly 5:00 AM in the morning, Mo Xie's eyes suddenly opened, he stood up and fixed his clothes, seeing Shang Ting's beautiful sleeping face, he couldn't help but sigh.

He immediately went out and directly made his way to the market.

Although the sun has not fully lightened up, there are a lot of people in the market already.

Subordinates, maids, etc. all of them buying some ingredients to use for the day.

Mo Xie headed to a place that's selling some basic herbs for mortals.

"I'd like to purchase 10 kilograms of Lucent Fragrant Grass, 2 kilograms of Spider Web Grass, and 500 grams of Silk Saffron Herb."

"Young Man, there seemed to be a lot of pest in your home, hahaha." The shopkeeper jokingly teased as he prepared the herbs.

Mo Xie only smiled at him.

"That's 15 silver and 55 copper coins."

Mo Xie handed a gold coin and spoke: "Thank you, you can keep the change."

The shopkeeper was astounded: "Oy-oy, young man, here's a bonus!"

The man handed a herb that looks like a sunflower: "Hahaha, I don't know what that is, but my wife forages it from a stone near the cliff."

Mo Xie took it as he smiled and spoke: "Since this is your wife's hard-earned work, I'll add another gold coin for you."

Mo Xie handed another gold coin and immediately departed.

"So... what can I do with this Nine Yang Flower? Without the rest of the ingredients, I can't really make anything with it, only silver ranked alchemist has a use for this herb."

Mo Xie not knowing what to do with it kept it within his storage ring, he might have a use for it in the future.

"I need to buy a new set of clothes for both Shang Ting and I, the robes Shang Ting has brought with her started to become colorless."

Mo Xie bought some other basic herbs before going to the married couple's clothing store.

"Uncle Feng, Aunty Lu!"

"Oh, little Mo is back." Feng Baoli immediately welcomed him.

"I'd like to buy ten sets of clothes for my wife and five sets of clothes for me." Mo Xie smiled as he spoke.

Feng Baoli smiled at Mo Xie, Lu Mei then giggles as she prepared and picked the beast of their works.

"Little Mo, here."

Lu Mei handed a big bag of clothes to Mo Xie: "I've added two more pairs for your wife, be sure to take care of her."

"I will Aunt Lu." Mo Xie smiled as he handed five pieces of gold tael to Lu Mei.

Lu Mei and Feng Baoli were shocked before speaking: "Little Mo, this is too much."

Mo Xie smiled at the two and replied: "Aunt Lu, Uncle Feng, if you both will reject it, I will be disheartened, if it weren't for the both of you, I might've died on the streets, does my life amount to so little?"

"The rest is a payment for gratitude for my life that you have saved." Mo Xie clasped his hands to the couple.

"Little Mo, do not forget, you had also saved my life." Lu Mei added.

"To the people I hold dear, saving their lives is something of a calling to my principles, please do not reject my good intentions, Aunty, Uncle." Mo Xie persistently said as he started to walk away.

"This... Ay... this young man had already grown, it had only been a week."

"Right, Little Mo, visit us sometimes with your wife!"

The couples smiled at Mo Xie, seeing him wave his hands, the both of them felt relieved.

Mo Xie immediately headed back to the run-down house.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Shang Ting standing at the gates, it is already 8:00 AM in the morning, seeing Mo Xie, not in bed and any part of the courtyard alarmed her.

"Wife, it is too early in the morning, you should still be in bed relaxing."

As Shang Ting heard of the words, a smile formed on her face and replied: "I was just worried that you left me alone."

Mo Xie smiled and spoke: "Try these new robes I had bought for you, I will make something first."

Mo Xie handed the bag of clothes that he bought from the couple's house to Shang Ting.

Shang Ting received it as she nodded: "Okay, I will prepare some tea first."

"Okay." Mo Xie smiled as he went inside together with Shang Ting.

Immediately, as soon as Mo Xie sat on the living room, he then withdrew the herbs that he bought from the market from his storage ring and started to mix and grind it together.

After a while, Shang Ting came back with a set of tea, pouring it to a cup and handed it to Mo Xie.

"Husband, your tea is ready."

Mo Xie smiled as he nodded and spoke: "Leave it there for a bit, later, we will buy a new house."

Mo Xie only has 20 or so gold taels left, it is enough to buy a decent house and some items.

"Take this first." He then handed 5 gold taels and 30 gold coins to Shang Ting and added.

"If I were in a mission, you'll have to buy yourself some food, you do not have to wait for me."

Shang Ting was about to reject, but remembering that she is the wife, she accepted it and replied: "Okay."

Mo Xie continued grinding the herbs until everything turned into a paste-like substance.

It had already been a few hours, he then stood up and called Shang Ting.

"Wife, we will be getting a new house."

Shang Ting nodded her head, she had already prepared the things that they can lift and transfer to the new house they will be buying.

Mo Xie saw Shang Ting bringing three large bags and there are still two left on the floor, Shang Ting is lifting the heaviest objects while leaving the light clothes for Mo Xie.

As a Cultivator, their physique had already surpassed the mortal's limits, hence, she thought that Mo Xie would not be able to lift the heavy things.

Mo Xie chuckles and spoke: "Leave all of that on the floor."

Hearing his words, Shang Ting was bewildered but immediately placed them down.

Mo Xie closed on the bags and immediately inserted it in the storage ring.

"Now we don't have a problem."

Shang Ting was shocked, the bags suddenly vanished.

"I will give you one once I can start cultivating, don't worry."

As time passes, Shang Ting thought that she's able to figure out Mo Xie step by step, but whenever she felt like it, Mo Xie kept becoming more mysterious.

"Un."

"Let's go."

The both of them moved out as they started to find some house, although Shang Ting isn't picky, Mo Xie kept frowning at every house they had come into, who is Mo Xie? the number one expert, standing at the peak of everything in his previous life, his taste will never be satisfied with the average houses.

3:00 PM in the afternoon, Mo Xie and Shang Ting arrived at their last destination.

A massive mansion with thirty different houses can be seen in front of them and a stable and some faculties.

Mo Xie smiled and spoke: "Ah, this is decent, let's take it."

Shang Ting was shocked, decent? this mansion is already as big as a minor clan's manor! yet you call it decent?

The man inside seeing Mo Xie standing outside put up a business smile and spoke: "Young Master, are you interested in buying this mansion?"

Mo Xie looked at the man and nodded: "Yes, how much does it cost?"

The man smiled and nodded his head as he explained: "Yes, this house is a recently made one, if you want to pay it in a single batch, then it will cost 55 gold taels, well, if you want you to pay it on a monthly basis, you will have to pay 5 gold taels and an advance of two months in minimum."

Mo Xie smiled as he reached his pouch, 14 gold taels in total, he saved the last tael for emergency uses, well, he can just get some more if he likes it though.

"Oh, then, this manor shall be yours, but a bit of warning young master, if you are to be delayed in payment for two months, we will immediately retrieve this mansion without refunding your money."

Mo Xie smiled as he nodded his head: "Where will I pay the remaining money?"

"Young Master only needs to head to the City Lord's mansion." The man replied as he stretched his hands, there, a few keys can be seen.

The man then explained all of the key's functions one by one.

Mo Xie nodded his head and bid farewell to the man.

Shang Ting was astounded, the penniless person from before can actually splurge money in just a few days of work?!

Mo Xie smiled at Shang Ting and spoke: "Should we go in?"

Shang Ting woke up from her daze and nodded: "Yes."

The two of them headed inside as they placed everything in order.

Mo Xie looked around, there are basically so many vacancies: "I think I will hire some guards and a few maids and servants."

After speaking, Mo Xie withdrew the paste-like substances he had done before and continued doing something with it.
