Stroll Around the Market!

Chapter 42: Stroll Around the Market!

After the last trade with Shengong Linfang, Fang Yuan hadn't dealt with anybody else. Since he had earned a great sum of money from that, he was still comfortable.

"See if you can find something," Fang Yuan gently told his two siblings after he entered one of the many clothing stores in the market.

The street had many stores, but Fang Yuan chose it since it looked the best of the middle level stores.

Every piece of land was worth spirit stones in the market, so the store wasn't very big. With the two receptionists, Fang Yuan and his family, it seemed one-fifth full.

Fang Yuan couldn't help but sigh as both receptionists seemed to have higher cultivation than him.

"Dear guest, welcome to the store."

Fang Yuan immediately bowed and respectfully greeted the two in response to their greetings. Irrespective of the profession, higher level cultivators deserved more respect unless they were evil.

Both of the receptionist's eyes lit up when they heard Fang Yuan's respectful tone. It wasn't due to his respect, but they understood from his tone that he was someone from a smaller city.

They then immediately focused on the girl child and asked her about her requirements. In no time, the glass table was filled with various frocks, hairbands, and other things related to girl's clothing.

Fang Hua's eyes never left the dresses, as it was her first time seeing such beautiful clothes to purchase. But soon, she calmed down as she wasn't a stubborn child. She had seen her family's condition.

"Brother, I don't like these dresses. Let's go," Fang Hua looked up at Fang Yuan and said without blinking her big eyes.

Both Fang Yuan and the receptionist's lips twitched since they had seen the eager look on Fang Hua's face while looking at dresses.

"Do you doubt your brother has no money?" Fang Yuan patted Fang Hua's head with a gentle smile.

Fang Hua didn't immediately answer but looked at Fang Zan, who didn't hide his admiration for the dresses at all.

Fang Yuan couldn't help but add some strength to his pat, forcing Fang Hua to look back at him. He then gently told her, "You don't have to worry about money when I am here. Buy any dress you like."

Fang Hua still didn't show much enthusiasm, forcing Fang Yuan to take the matter into his own hands. He then pointed at two dresses where Fang Hua's eyes had lingered the most and requested the receptionist to make the sale.

Fang Hua wanted to speak but immediately stopped when met with Fang Yuan's glare. After her, it was the turn of the second sibling.

Fang Zan didn't act like Fang Hua and picked two dresses he liked. Fang Yuan wanted to pick different shirts and pants for him, seeing that the former had picked the cheapest option provided by the receptionist. Fang Zan didn't budge and stubbornly declared that these were the two dresses he wanted.

Fang Yuan didn't purchase anything for himself and walked out in the disappointed and resentful eyes of the two receptionists.

"Is this the meat store?"

Not long after the family left, a man entered the store and asked.

"Don't you have eyes and can't see clothes?" The response was filled with mockery.

"I have eyes and see a mountain of yellow meat."

The two receptionist's eyes suddenly changed and turned cold.

"Who sent you?"

"Master Chuxian!"

"How much meat do you want?"

"How much meat do you have?"

"Three pounds of low-quality meat and one pound of high-quality meat."

"That's not enough." The man frowned.

For others, that might seem like a mindless conversation in a clothing store, but it wasn't. The two receptionists weren't ordinary citizens but were members of the most powerful demonic sect on the Qingtian Continent.

The Federation had complete control over the human territory, but there was still wilderness outside their control. Monsters controlled that territory, but some humans had joined their sides due to myriad reasons.

One such group of people was Serene Demonic Palace, which was filled with the vilest of the members of the human race. The leader of the palace had several daughters who were married to different monsters, bringing them into his camp, making it the strongest demonic sect on the continent.

Compared to the seven major sects, it was still short, but since it had the support of monsters and was deep in the wilderness, the federation couldn't do anything to them.

The palace had decided to ruin the upcoming entrance examination, and the store was one of the many ways to do that. Every cloth sold by the store had a demonic worm that would attack the user and control them at the opportune moment.

The woman meant people from smaller cities with no influence when she talked about low-quality meat. Fang Yuan and his family weren't included in that since Fang Yuan was the only one taking the entrance and he didn't buy any clothes from the store.

Unaware of the situation he could have been in, Fang Yuan entered a candy store with his siblings. At that time, both of them weren't in any mood to spare their big brother, so when they came out of the store, their hands were filled with different types of candy and chocolate.

Fortunately, these weren't expensive things, so Fang Yuan even helped the two carry their candies.

The trio didn't return to their temporary residences but kept strolling around the market, seeing many new things.

Fang Yuan even purchased the two a replica of a mobile phone. The two weren't that young to play with fake devices, but since it was their first time, they were extremely excited about it.

Fang Yuan even walked to the mobile store with the two of his siblings. When he heard the features of the best available models, he was excited, but when he heard their prices, his excitement immediately disappeared, and he left the store without turning back.
